Why do people to continue to LIVE there in that kind of condition. I am from another state and I frequent this section of the LATIMES and before I put my life on the line just to live in LA it aint worth IT. Escape while you have a chance. I would get in my car at 03:00 a.m. to never return and just move to somewhere like Nebraska in a quiet town and just attend movies/bowling/fishing the good life. U can do it and do it tonight!
