that was a question posed in an article on one of my favorite blogs, The Eastsider LA. Seems the city refurbished the lake but doesn't have money to maintain the new surroundings.
Seems some folks fear that by not being maintained it will lead to blight and the invitation to unsavory elements in our society to visit "our" pristine park. Words thrown about such as "camper people", "homeless", "taggers" and "gangs".
Damn folks, get a grip. As usual, the article itself isn't really inflammatory but the comments and attitude they bring are. The Eastsider LA actually presented a night of readings from the comment section of the blog at a local eatery. The rants about gentrification and hipsters wer so popular that they are doing it again.
You can read it all here.
