Your city hall is really focused on trash, oye
Okay so check it—your City Hall, like, they're literally swamped with calls about stuff we see every day, ya sabes? The latest 311 data? It's wild. Almost *20,000* requests just for item pickups and illegal dumping. Like, 9,441 for general pickups and another 7,299 for illegal dumping specifically. That's a *lot* of couches on the curb, fam.
**What Angelenos Are Calling About**
It's not just the big stuff. Look, Angelenos are also calling about:
* **Graffiti Removal:** Over 5,980 requests for that, like on our bridges and walls. * **Homeless Encampments:** Almost 1,600 calls, which, no mames, tells you what's really happening out there. * **"Information Only":** Over 9,996 calls, which honestly, could be anything from "where's the closest Dodger bus stop" to "what's up with my permit?"
The numbers really paint a picture of our streets, you know? City Hall's literally getting buried under our day-to-day trash and our really serious issues. Keep an eye on how they plan to tackle these basic services and the bigger stuff that's clearly impacting our neighborhoods, especially east of the 110.
