Okay so check it, fam – your City Hall is, like, literally drowning in trash. No mames, it's wild.

### So Much Trash, For Real

The latest 311 service request data? It's all about picking stuff up, oye. Almost 8,230 requests for "Item Pickups" and then another 6,929 for "Illegal Dumping Item Pickup." That's like, over 15,000 requests just for trash. And then another 1,806 for more illegal dumping. That’s a *lot* of stuff getting dumped out there, like on corners and alleys, ya sabes? It just shows you what folks are really dealing with, on the ground, every single day. It’s not about some fancy new development on the Westside; it’s about making sure our neighborhoods aren't looking like a landfill.

* **Total Item Pickups:** 8,230 requests

* **Illegal Dumping:** 6,929 requests

* **More Illegal Dumping:** 1,806 requests

* **Graffiti Removal:** 2,822 requests

* **Homeless Encampments:** 2,189 requests

Meanwhile, the development activity is all about small stuff — kitchen and bathroom remodels, and like, a pool equipment room added to an existing building. It’s not really addressing the bigger housing crisis, you know? It's always these little things, not the huge changes we need for affordable places. This city needs to figure out how to handle the trash *and* build homes for actual Angelenos.

We gotta see if City Hall starts putting more resources into keeping our streets clean, especially east of the 110 where we see a lot of this dumping.

That's the real LA, fam — east of the 110.

Mari.

Oye, you gotta hear what the crew's saying about this on the morning show — tune in live at mornings.live.
