BK- How many of those protesters are illegals? L.A has a gang problem no doubt about that.
During the Los Angeles riots were the illegals doing the rioting? were they the ones running out of Target and Fedco with T.V's and Couches in hand?
Any illegal that is here causing trouble or gangbanging should be deported in a New York minute.
Lovely pictures. The students look like they are having great fun.
If they stay out long enough to impact LAUSD permanently, LAUSD will go begging for more money from the State and the Feds.
Who said I wanted to "help the problem"?
I won't spend any money there to "support" that economy. Obviously, about 500,000 residents there don't want me there anyway.
That's the only thing they really care about. Follow the money.
But knowing LA schools, they'll probably all be moved into "Independent study".
But McCain is giving them all amnesty....
Unfortunately the parts most people see are the area around the Cruise Terminal and the ports. There are some very nice places near by in the Marina, but then when you go up to Gaffey and Pacific it's a bit sketchy. Some gentrification is going on on 5th and 6th Streets, but it's moving quite slowly. I remember when we first brought our daughter down there for school, there were shops selling shirts that proclaimed "San Pedro, where the Ghetto meets the Sea". Made us a bit nervous! LOL As you up the hill, and get near or cross Western, it's quite a nice place.
They're screwing themselves. Their best friend was a quiet, teeming anonymity. Now that diminishes every time they go on a public rampage.
Let 'em do it. Everytime they throw a public entitlement tantrum, the muddle headed middle wakes up a little bit.
Temp Work Visa Program is a good deal.
I hope that passes.
Haven't been down in a few years, but anything along Paseo del Mar was always pleasant and I visited friends many times in South Shores and husband kept boat in the Marina. I wonder how much the houses go for now.
And that's the issue right there.
There is a clear pattern repeated in the media - for whatever reason (and we talked some about this yesterday) they always seem to want to sugarcoat the destructive rampages of these various "protesters", whether they be illegal Mexicans in the USA or "hooded youths" (i.e. Muslims) in France. This pattern appears to arise from an exasperating blend of the media's bias, ignorance and lack of resources. They just can't seem to deliver the real story.
My daughter bought her first house in San Pedro for $400,000.00 and sold it last year for $675,000.00. It was a few blocks above Western, and a couple of blocks below Miraleste. RPV & Rolling Hills are in the millions. Lower in San Pedro you can still get for $400,000-$500,000 I believe.
We usually stay in the hotel at the Marina, and love it.
The post you responded to was talking about the LEGAL immigrants being prevented by ILLEGALS to earn their living by taking over the area with their protests.
That's the most unusual way of saying "we need you in so you count for our federal funds and then you may go."
It has nothing to do with eating. It's just when they get counted for roll and get counted for their school funds. All the school admin cares about is that money.
Used to live right off of Miraleste Drive, had a great eastern view. That house was sold in 1996 for $600,000. Maybe I'll check zillow.com and see what's it's worth now.
Is a La Raza board meeting being called into session?

Ya know, I meant to ping you as I was posting my frustration about the paucity of news. :-)
Please add political correctness into the exasperating blend.
We have to drive on that freeway they shut down. Those are local law-breakers and now they have a sense of victory under their belts.
Oh, but McCain says that amnesty is not amnesty. It's a way of preventing 84 year old grandmas from being cruelly deported to Guadalajara after 84 year old grandmas worked their fingers to the bone building this country.
McCain is a double-speaking leftist, period.
