Okay so check it— your City Hall is, like, literally drowning in trash complaints. I'm not even kidding.

### Your Trash Problems Are City Hall's Main Problem

The latest 311 service request data, which is how we tell the city 'hey, fix this,' shows "Item Pickups" and "Illegal Dumping Item Pickup" are, like, number one and two on the list. We're talking 9,161 requests for regular item pickups and another 7,492 for illegal dumping. That’s over 16,000 calls just for trash, ya sabes? And then add in almost 2,200 graffiti removals. No mames, that's a lot of mess.

It really puts into perspective what people are actually dealing with every day. It's not the fancy new developments they’re always hyping on the Westside — it's literally the trash on the corner. Like, forget about a pool equipment room getting added somewhere (yeah, that's also in the data, from 2015, go figure), people just want their streets clean. This data from the 311 system really tells you what's on Angelenos' minds.

We'll see if the city actually steps up their game with these numbers out in the open. You gotta wonder if they're even paying attention.
