i guess that's the repuatation LA has. Can't do much about that, except of course seeing that most of the city is actually rather nice to live in, and only some parts have any gang activity.
But as far as the valley goes, eh...let 'em go. Let them deal with their water and all the bureaucracy in working with the city of LA. I don't live in the city of LA, i'm in an autonomous area, so to hell with 'em.
late.
