"Alondra Park, after years of inattention by authorities on minor code violations, was rendered unsafe for use by local residents.... Property values dropped in the neighboring communities and families moved away.

It took a concerted effort by the Torrance Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and local homeowners groups to reverse the level of decay and lawlessness in the Alondra Park area. Enforcement actions for drinking, camping and littering were conducted; parking regulations were enforced and the perception developed that people did care."

I wonder if the LAPD, our councilwoman and Formally Really are paying attention here.

You can't argue with logic. I've actually read some other articles and studies along the same lines. Last year they conducted an expirement in Europe where they would graffiti a wall then film to see ensuing activity for weeks. Have trash on the ground then film the ensuing activity. Then they would clean up the same area and film the activity. Trash and graffiti led to more trash and graffiti as well as theft at a usual increase of about 30-55%. A clean area actually remained clean and people tended to be more honest inthe clean environment.
Slug, you are right. It takes a concerted effort.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Virgo

Someone is easily angered today, and you'll want to tiptoe around them at every opportunity. They might be on the defensive and imagine that you're getting at them all the time, or they could be quick to point the finger of blame straight at you. It won't be an easy day, but try not to get swept up in the emotional dramas that are swirling around you. They'll only exhaust you.
