Okay so check it—your city, literally, is still dealing with a whole lot of *stuff* out on the streets, no mames. Like, it's not just a feeling you get driving down Pico, the 311 data from the past month or so really lays it out.

### What's Piling Up in LA

For real, the biggest thing people are calling about is literally trash. "Item Pickups" and "Illegal Dumping Item Pickup" were, like, the top two issues, racking up over *15,000 requests* combined. Think about that for a second — that's more than double the next biggest complaint, which was "Information-Only." People are calling City Hall to get big items picked up almost as much as they're just calling for general info. And then "Graffiti Removal" is up there too, with over 3,000 requests. It's like, you know, the city's trying, but the sheer volume of calls for basic services is just wild.

* **Item Pickups:** 8,335 requests

* **Illegal Dumping:** 6,993 requests

* **Graffiti Removal:** 3,189 requests

This tells you exactly what our neighborhoods are facing day in and day out. While City Hall is approving things like "addition of pool equipment rooms" (yeah, that's literally in the development data from March 2015, oye), people out here on the Eastside are just trying to get a mattress off their corner. It's a huge disconnect, and it's what we gotta keep pushing our council members on. What are they *actually* doing to get this stuff cleared faster?

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