  2. When I went to Palmdale high, this was the park to meet after school for fights. This park has ALWAYS been this way…IDK why it’s new to anyone. There are more homless people though, most I encounter seem like they are bombed out of their mind, their eyes are glazed over and they are mumbling crazy things and fighting with themselves. It’s like Hollywood Blvd all of the sudden.

  3. Eastside Palmdale, is getting more ghetto every year that goes on. I blame all the people coming from the San Fernando valley and other parts of Los Angeles county. I see more graffiti by my house and more things that i once thought was relegated to the San Fernando valley and the inner cities of Los Angeles county. I honestly don’t get how Palmdale was ranked 23 in the safest city in CA, i Honestly think lancaster is more safer, and Lancaster was ranked 38.

    • Doesn’t matter where these people came from. A lot of them were born and raised here in Palmdale and choose to live like trash and ghetto. But that’s every city you go to. People have a choice!!!

    • Apparently you haven’t been to East Lancaster recently. Nothing but sirens and copters. My East Palmdale neighbor is nice and quiet and we watch each other’s backs.

      Lancaster is a mess. Now I hear they are creating a police department because crime is so bad. I’m glad we got out when we did.

      • No I haven’t been to Lancaster. I do hear how bad it is.. Same here I have very cool neighbors.. Maybe with more Sheriff’s it can be cleaned up! Get the trash out! I do notice a lot of sheriffs out and about in Palmdale!! ~Peace~ Happy Holidays!!!⛄️☃️

      • Lancaster is creating their own police department because all the problems and lawsuits they have generated for the county have led to the LASD no longer serving blindly as Wrecks’ private paramilitary force.

        • I can predict the new Lancaster police force will somehow involve Palmdale paying the bill now that our councilmembers are such good buddies. The crime rate is so much lower in Palmdale without Lancaster meddling or the use of the Eye in the Sky that I hear is coming to Palmdale to make Visco even more money.

          • It is called the LASD, that is Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Yes, the crime rate is lower in Palmdale, but not that much lower. Lancaster police force, and Palmdale police force?

          • Palmdale and Lancaster are in L.A. County. LASD serves both cities, and surrounding areas. Kern County serves Kern County.

          • Lancaster has higher crime, more homeless, worse streets, worse neighborhoods, more prostitution and drugs. All under Rex. But a least we have the $10 million dollar Eye in the Sky. Palmdale doesn’t have that….yet.

        • “If we continue to do what we’re doing, we’re going to continue to get those same results,” Bo­zig­ian said.

          Bold words. The problem is we are continuing to do the same thing. We are still spending $10 million dollars on a useless LEAPS plane. We are still using the same bully tactics that Rex and Marv use on the council. Now we are going to put the man who is largely responsible for our Section 8 lawsuit in charge? What could possibly go wrong?

      • East Palmdale…I’m glad that you’re happy where you are. Most commenters have nothing but negative things to say about both Palmdale and Lancaster.

      • Yep, the fight broke out because Mayor Hofbauer is now mayor of Palmdale. Just like that, in the twinkling of an eye the crime rate is now becoming worse in Palmdale. How horrible life is for all of you, knowing everything is going down hill. Don’t blame the voters though, O.K.? They’re not as smart as you.

        • Mayor Hofbauer did not cause the fight.
          The voters of Palmdale are stupid.
          Anything else I can help you with?

          • Doc Rivers thinks Mayor Hofbauer has something to do with the crime blotter creeping south, and since this article is about a fight at a Palmdale park, wellllll. Anything else I can help you with?

          • Yes, O wise and all knowing Alexis, you can help me. Please explain why Mayor R. Rex Parris and Vice Mayor Marvin Crist were the key figures in the voting district lawsuit against Palmdale when they refuse to bring districts to Lancaster? Spare me the excuse of Lancaster not needing districts because they paid someone $20 grand to say they do not have polarized elections.

            Then explain why Parris and Republican political consultant Drew Mercy led the accusations against Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford?

            Why, All Knowing Alexis, are Lancaster politicians so involved in Palmdale politics?

            For the record, Oh Wise Alexis, voting districts in Palmdale have not brought racial or gender diversity. Still, Palmdale’s council is more diverse than the Pro-Rex, west Lancaster Republicans who make up our Lancaster council.

            If any city needs districts it is Lancaster. East Lancaster is neglected and not represented.
