Has the Valley deteriorated that badly?
What are the bad and good parts of the Valley?""
1---Yes it has.
2---The good parts are getting smaller and smaller as I type this.
I lived there from 1966 to 1993. I won't even go back into my old neighborhood when I am forced to go there for whatever reason. The reasons have to get better and better, also.
I lived in Tarzana from 1999-2000. I was just north of Ventura. When I moved in, there weren't many shopping carts strewn around, and my neighbors were young families and elderly, and many had lived in that building for years. I was alone and just out of college, but the area seemed ok. By the time I moved out a year and a half later, shopping carts were constantly everywhere and there were gangsters moving in to several apartments around me. All the old timers were leaving. It was amazing how fast that complex changed.
