Sidewalks

There are a lot of lovely things about LA. The weather, the mountains, the ocean, the flora, Griffith Park, Dodger Stadium, cool buildings and plenty of culture. But the streets and sidewalks are a disgrace. If you've ever been to the third world, picture the sidewalks and you'll know what we're talking about. The curbs are crumbling, weeds grow in every crevice, trees are tearing the walkway apart, and rolling a stroller down the sidewalk is life-threatening.
The wait for the city to trim trees is 7 years. SEVEN years! The wait for new sidewalks is 35 years! The average life span of a caveman!
The city of Los Angeles is not poor. So we will be looking at some things that Los Angeles spends its money on instead of streets and sidewalks.
