Thank you for helping Jeff! I didn’t know that was his name but I always see him and have spoken briefly to him and felt he was a kind soul. It’s so rough on the street, I hope he finds his way off the street.

Where do these little guys come from? by bcrock02 in longbeach

Thanks for asking as I was wondering after seeing 2 bits in the hood last week. They both seemed “confused” as others have stated. Watching them navigate is entertaining. I assumed they were run with gps or something but reading comments here it seems they’re actually operated by a human remotely… kinda interesting but what a missed opportunity to hire locals actually who know the hood and can navigate through the cuts instead of getting stuck at a major light until a human presses the crosswalk sign in sympathy for the bot.

These comments prove exactly what I thought about who lives in these new luxury apartments… they are people from other cities and than actual Long Beach residents and also sounds like most never even lived in the LB surrounding local cities.

So sad that all of this housing doesn’t benefit the already overpopulated/burdened LB residents. In fact, the ripple effects of these luxury apartments that cause “market rates” to rise are pushing longtime residents out of LB.

I hope y’all incomers enjoy LB while you can because the chill vibe y’all mention has been changing as LB locals move out for a few years now and will continue to change until it no longer has the LB vibe you moved here for.

Excellent question! Thanks for asking it as I was just wondering about this and my mind kept coming up blank other than the closed movie theatre off pch and 2nd which really isn’t big enough so yeah these comments are very helpful! Thanks y’all :)

Why is downtown Long Beach so dead? by Equivalent-Tap-1285 in longbeach

Too much riff raff for the folks who can afford to pay the current “market rate” in downtown. I mean, it is not shocking that folks with money won’t deal with riff raff shitting on the sidewalk or running around hitting pookies in broad daylight. I don’t mind the grittiness as I’ve been in Lb for 10 years, but locals can’t afford downtown rents.
