“it must be nice to be a liberal which enables you to view everything with rose colored glasses” – So many assumptions, John.
My point was that you need to be more specific. The entire East Side of the Antelope valley is not trash. Assuming I am liberal or wearing rose colored glasses is ridiculous.
It still doesn’t apply. Personal attacks are not warranted. Details and facts are.
Thanks.
Mary says
And yes, I goofed my reply post. This is how often I even respond to everyone’s opinionated doom and gloom nonsense.
John says
Hey I have a great idea! How about taking a tour of the ghetto/warzone otherwise known as the (East Side)!? People on the tour bus can see first hand, drug deals in action, prostitution, homeless people and if you are lucky maybe some gang violence and possibly a drive by shooting! What a great city.
Mary says
I’m not sure where you’ve been but that was an entirely unnecessary generalization of the “East Side.” Be more or less specific if you want to be such a hater. The “East Side” is a pretty big stretch of land which spans several cities within our dust bowl! I live in one of the parts of the “East Side” and none of this applies. Thanks.

Hey Mary, it must be nice to be a liberal which enables you to view everything with rose colored glasses.

Hey, John
Lancaster is a ‘Christian community’ and conservative politically.
How come it’s such a mess? I thought conservatives knew how to run things………………well, into the ground.
Is your bond rating still downgraded in Lancaster? Did the homeless, gangs and druggies cause that? Did they cause the poor planning and lack of retail other than Walmarts in Lancaster?
Even though Gov. Brown (D) has turned around the economy in California and it now gaining jobs at a good rate Lancaster, a conservative bastion, still lags behind. How come, John?
You know everything. You tell us why Lancaster is such a poor performer despite the recovering economy.
