Bambu, read about Rudy and the Broken Window Theory in New York City, Rudy cleaned up New York and made it great again, and we need to do the same thing in San Francisco, and in San Bernardino, and in Los Angeles, etc. We need to clean it up and then keep it nice. And we need to have hostels for $15 per night for a shower and a bed so there will be no excuse to be homeless. We need to clean up Hollywood and the rest of California and we need to keep it nice.
Also, we depend on tourism, and the tourists love it to be nice and clean.
Of note, when I worked at the Broadway Department Store in Pasadena back in 1996 we had problems with thieves, we had a tough lady who was a former criminal in charge of security, she did time in prison, she was a tough woman, it was like "Criminal Minds" where they pay the criminals to solve crimes. She did a good job on security.
And at the Whisky, Roxy, Troubadour, Rainbow, etc, they all have lots of security.
We need to clean things up and keep it nice, and we need cheap hostels so there is no reason to be homeless.
The unions and politicians are also working to raise wages so people will be able to afford nice apartments.
Salute,
Tony V.
