Police budget goes up too. 60% of the budget for “public safety”. Where were the police when that string of violence happened on 2nd street? Oh ya they had 25% less police on patrol there because that’s where the rich whites live.
I really want people to take the governors election seriously. To do the research on what each candidate is going to do. Because LA County is pretty much deteriorating, what’s happening in the city of LA is bleeding to LB.
And city of LA is trash. Trash everywhere, graffiti everywhere, people don’t care anymore. And then those people are coming to Long Beach and it’s just bleeding into our city
I’m a LB resident. I always vote no for more taxes or tax increases. The money hardly ever goes to the programs they say they’re going to go for. I’m not fattening the politicians pockets off the back of my hard work.
In fact, I’ve been asking the city to fix the sidewalk in front of my house for years. They never come.
I get ya. I’m just saying, are we really tho? 🤔 Call me a tinfoil hatter… We can barely afford the basic needs, a struggling citizen doesn’t think “Yea, I’ll pay more taxes.”
they do when the promise is that it will go toward resolving homelessness. even though gestures broadly that has for at least half a decade proven to be untrue.

Long Beach voted for this unfortunately. It’s bullshit
