  1. Lake Los Angeles has gone way down the sewage drain in the past 20 years. Used to be a nice place to live. But now you have illegals, tweeters and L.A. scum all over who have ruined the town.

  3. To be honest I lived in Lake Los Angeles for most of my life and I can say that it is generally a very quiet and safe place to live. There has been an average of fewer than 1 per year since the year 2000, and for 2016 and 2017 there was not a single homicide in the town.
