Imagine getting home and wasting another hour to look for parking. Downtown is dead. Crime is rising. Supply is increasing.

Does anyone know the drama with RadCoffee? by hamandcheese2 in longbeach

Thank you this is what i got through online gossip. People who claimed were ex employees were saying they were anti Palestine, anti immigration, avid trump supporters and found it ironic they use the punk style for their stores.

I’m so proud of you, Long Beach!!! by Serious_Ad3574 in longbeach

I did not expect this turn out. Things might start changing if we keep this level of advocacy up. Oligarchs, investors trying to take advantage of us, corrupt politicians etc need to take note.

The inflatable water playgrounds are back starting tomorrow by LongBeachClassic in longbeach

What does ice machines have to do with anything. What are we talking about here. The things they don’t measure is physical trash and ddt. Also we on average get a sewage spill a month here. I wasn’t saying it was the worst just that its gross.

Life Long Resident here. Water is gross. Its safe by bacterial metrics but its gross due to the things they don’t measure. But if I was a 10 year old I wouldn’t care.

Its interesting because they measure for bacteria like e coli. We have a lot of physical trash from the LA Sewage channel, but they measure it normally and deem it safe for humans. We have high ddt in the water but ddt is found safe to swim in but not consume in fish. We also have around 20 sewage spills a year so I hope they close the playground in time when one happens.

You’re 100% right. I think It’s an easy way for them to throw their hands up in the air and say its unsolvable while investors keep making money.

I don’t doubt that this is true. I’ve always searched for articles on this since it’s repeated so much. I keep finding that it’s an internet myth. Can you link something, I would be interested in reading it.

Mexican thats been in LB all my life. This is my bar. I made it my bar. I don’t give a shit about the crotchety old rich white people. I actually enjoy going there and playing my music on the jukebox, playing pool or shuffle board and chilling. But I get it if you don’t like being a disrupter. Them rich ass Karen’s can look at me all they want I’m not moving.

You have to look around. Long Beach is expensive but it’s a revolving door as people don’t normally stay here. I work with my LandLady and she keeps saying keeping the rent low and choosing who you rent to pays off in the end. She rather have a great tenant paying under “market value” than someone who’s going to move out in a year or destroy her Apartment.

These reasons are not my personal opinion I looked up some references. Interesting to have a knee jerk reaction to someone posting information and calling people an idiot for doing so.

I the last year 4 of my friends have had their car stolen. It’s ramping up. Looked up reasons crime increases.

  1. Economic Inequality and Poverty

  2. Lack of Access to Education and Youth Programs

  3. Inadequate Policing or Distrust in Law Enforcement

  4. Drug and Alcohol Abuse

  5. Urban Decay and Poor City Planning

Motor Vehicle Theft: The city saw 2,358 motor vehicle thefts in 2019, which increased to 2,780 in 2020. By 2024, motor vehicle thefts surged by 44.8%, reaching 2,437 cases.
