If the writer’s new neighborhood is clean, safe, affordable, and blessed with good schools, I guarantee him it will not be that way for long. Illegals flood into the affordable areas, bringing with them crime, gangs, and blight. It’s happened to many another “nice, clean, safe, affordable” suburb in California, and it will happen to Mr. Dunphy’s as well. If it doesn’t happen fast enough, the government will bring in Section 8 housing to hurry things along. I take no pleasure in saying this, but it happens to be the truth. Enjoy your nice neighborhood while it lasts, Mr. Dunphy.

My aunt and uncle (now dead for probably 20 years) lived in Pomona and left for Bishop ( halfway up the backside of the Sierras toward Reno, NV) probably five years prior to their demise. They left Pomona because it was not a safe place to live in the mid-1980’s. Pomona is probably at least 40 miles from downtown LA. so I don’t know where this author is hanging his hat and feeling safe. San Bernardino is still further east, and it’s going bankrupt thanks to the illegals.
