I wonder what the sanitation, water, electricity, indoor plumbing, corruption, situation is in Tijuana compared to LA? I wonder if the average LA cop and municipal worker is corrupt?

Los Angeles hasn’t devolved to the level of Tijuana yet, but give it time. Rome wasn’t demolished in a day.

My comments stand.

Some of these posters need to travel to some real third world cities and countries. Flies everywhere, dead animals in what passes for roads, mud everywhere if it is in a wet climate and people living in anything available.

I was just in Jamaica and all though it isn't quite a cesspool, it is poor all over. The wealthy section of Montego Bay is only about 5% of the city, the rest is small houses with wooden shutters, no glass. I did notice that even the smallest house had bars on the doors and windows.
