Local Anti-Gentrification Notes

The dump I used to live in is visible in a shot in one of the packages at the links. I would like to make it very damn clear that I have not lived on Effie between Maltman & Golden Gate since 1992, & would not arse myself to walk up that hill merely to let the air out of tires (IYKWIM&ITYD).

DOZENS OF TIRES SLASHED BY VANDALS IN SILVER LAKE

AT LEAST 100 TIRES SLASHED BY VANDALS IN SILVER LAKE

WALLOWING: Further "research" offers chances to compare & contrast. Looks as if NBC wins the scare-mongering competition:

Residents Terrorized by Serial Tire Stabber
Dubbed the "Silver Lake Slasher"

FOX doesn't even bother transcribing the report.

Silver Lake Resident Finds His Tire Flat In Rash Of Tire Slashings

We win "Too Lazy To Embed This Crap". And the former bunker is in full view here; the beige dump just to the right of the reporter's head, behind the white dump on the corner.

Oh fuck this shitbother. I make the effort to embed this one but it won't embed (or even play) at its KTLA page, & I end up arsing myself to grab the image.
The apparent window at the upper left corner of the "LIVE" box is the balcony on which we used to barbecue. One Sunday afternoon there was so much smoke billowing out (Amateurs!) idiots in the bungalows on the left there called the Fire Dep't.

From '93 to 2000 I was living the Silicon Valley dream, and I drove a ridiculously hotted-up bright red Mitsubishi 3000. For a variety of reasons - not the least of which was a string of bad luck - I went through tires on that thing at an alarming rate. With all that horsepower applied to the front wheels, you had to buy GREAT BIG ASS tires and my tire budget in that period was positvely frightening. But a hundred tires? That's rough...

Self-Righteous Ed.:
Aw, it's spread out over forty or fifty cars. I'm not seeing any real problem.

Hell, I didn't need a car when I lived there; it's two blks. from a fucking bus stop. I'm just hearing whiny, entitled, polluting assholes.
