Okay so check it— your City Hall data for today, fam, really shows you where Angelenos are focused, ya sabes? Like, the numbers for 311 requests are literally screaming about what's happening on our streets, east of the 110 and everywhere else.
### Your Trash Problems Are So Real
For the first week of March alone, folks called in almost *10,000* requests for item pickups. And get this: *8,093* of those were specifically for illegal dumping. That's a huge jump, and it shows you how much people are just leaving their stuff wherever, or maybe folks are just fed up with seeing it, no mames? That's, like, more than double the next biggest issue, which was just "information-only" calls. And then after that, another 1,853 for illegal dumping. So yeah, we’re talking almost 10,000 calls about people’s junk just dumped out there. It’s a mess.
It really highlights the ongoing struggle with keeping our neighborhoods clean and accessible. You see it all the time, right? Couches on the curb on Olympic, old mattresses by the bus stop in Boyle Heights. It’s not just an eyesore, it’s a public health thing. We gotta watch what City Hall actually *does* with these numbers, because Angelenos are clearly saying, "Clean it up, please!"
That's the real LA, fam — east of the 110.
