Okay so check it— your City Hall is really, like, still drowning in the same old stuff, ya know? I'm looking at the latest 311 request data, and it's literally the same story we always hear.

### What LA is actually asking for

The biggest thing Angelenos are calling about is "Item Pickups," with 9,530 requests. That's, like, a huge number. And right after that? "Streetlight Repair Services" at 8,235 requests, and then "Illegal Dumping Item Pickup" at 7,988. No mames, that's almost 8,000 times people called about literal trash being dumped. That's a lot of couches and old tires showing up where they shouldn't be, probably in neighborhoods east of the 110, you know?

Here's the breakdown of what people need:

* Item Pickups: 9,530 requests

* Streetlight Repair: 8,235 requests

* Illegal Dumping: 7,988 requests

* Graffiti Removal: 2,943 requests

* Homeless Encampment: 1,625 requests

It just shows you what people are actually dealing with in their day-to-day. It’s not about, like, some new pool equipment room getting added, which, by the way, was on March 4, 2015 – yeah, that's in the development activity data. People need basic services, like, yesterday. What's next? We gotta see if City Hall actually, you know, *responds* to these requests faster than they're coming in. That's the real LA, fam — east of the 110.
