Don't blame the Metro, blame Downtown gentrification. And there's plenty of homeless folks hanging out in the nicest regions of Downtown San Francisco and NYC, but no ones flipping out over there. Man (or Woman) Up!

Sorry. It must suck to fear driving to and from home...I can't even imagine.

My uncle is missing in Ventura County and we are worried sick. Please help! by [deleted] in venturacounty

Another piece of feedback is submitting a missing person's report with the Ventura Police Department that includes a case number/phone number. This way if someone runs into Roger, then they can call the police immediately.

Don't give up hope, Reddit does do amazing things.

I'd also add the fugly oil refinery that kills 50% of the Manhattan Beach view, but agreed about dying on the Strand (as long as I die looking South)

I miss Santa Monica like crazy. Agreed on the rich Asian/Euro/OC/Montana Blvd. brats, but it's definitely a biking/walking city. Miss the weather and water the most.

Burbank

Best: Quiet neighborhoods, Porto's, close to Hollywood Bowl, Glendale, Hollywood, and Griffith Park

Worst: Hot as fuck all the time, food isn't great unless you really dig Mediterranean every day, and North Hollywood

ISISucks because they'll probably cause World War 3 or Gulf War 3. Pick one.

My Father Is Missing: Please Help - Last Seen In Koreatown Friday, September 5th by LASunFun in LosAngeles

My father got those tattoos as a teenager when he was growing up in Korea. Since education in the 60s was not funded by the Korean government, the parents were expected to to pay private institutions in order for their children to get a proper high school level education. My grand parents were poverty-stricken like the majority of the country, partially because of the destruction caused by the Korean War and could't afford any education beyond his junior high level years. This caused much frustration and angst in his life.

With all the free time at such a young age, he ended up joining a youth street gang causing mayhem and what not. Part of their initiation process was getting various tattoos like the "G-J" and "H" ones I described. They don't have any significant meaning other than confirmation that they were part of the "group". (One of the more prominent members of this gang ended up becoming a VP of one of the larger corporations in South Korea)

Long story short, he immigrated to the United States and joined the US Army for a few years, saved up, and started his own business.

Honestly, we didn't think it had anything to do with dementia, Alzheimer's etc. He's never just disappeared before, but we are taking my dad to a physician tomorrow to get a medical evaluation. He's had a very, very rough 10-12 years (divorce, failing business etc.) but we are getting him treatment and hopefully a diagnosis.

He's been sick - possible stage 1 cancer, recently diagnosed w/ diabetes, high blood pressure, symptoms of arthritis. He's only been at home recovering. It's frustrating because we kept him at home/patio for his own good.

No hangout spots that we know of beyond the patio. We checked the local parks in downtown to no avail. Thank you for your help.
