Similar in Los Angeles (my home town — I now live in NYC, which is also similar).
I asked my brother, who still lives in LA, if downtown is as bad as they say, and he said, “It’s like something out of THE LIVING DEAD.”
Downtown LA is terrible - I won’t go down there. I keep thinking David Daleiden or one of those secret photo journalists should shoot it and publish on YouTube for all to see. It is unbelievable. You could get cholera down there, most definitely. Heading out, we are.
