Okay so check it— your City Hall just dropped the latest 311 service request numbers, and it's literally what everyone's always talking about, ya sabes?
## Your neighbors are over the dumping, for real
The top issue Angelenos called in about? Item pickups. We're talking 9,191 requests for just "Item Pickups" and then another 7,291 for "Illegal Dumping Item Pickup." No mames, that's over 16,000 calls about stuff just left out on our streets. It's like, you're trying to walk down a street in Boyle Heights, past Mariachi Plaza, and there's a whole couch just chilling there. And then, right behind that, 2,342 requests for "Graffiti Removal" and another 2,065. It's clear what's on people's minds, especially east of the 110 where we see a lot of this.
This data, straight from the City's 311 logs, really shows where the city needs to step up. People want clean streets, and honestly, they deserve it. What are they gonna do about it? That's what we gotta watch.
That's the real LA, fam — east of the 110.
