Lake Los Angeles is certainly getting a lot of bad press the last few days. Is it really that bad out there and if so why would anyone want to live there?

Mostly, it’s a quiet area that people have lived in most of their lives. I live out here right around the corner from both of the bad occurrences. We have family movies in the park. Community fun and parades, and you can walk down the street and people say hello. Most of the time, you just worry about coyotes, mountain lions, and feral dogs. Not even the snakes come out very often. There is bad everywhere nowadays.
