This is real you idiot. This is right by my house!
Binx says
ik he’s my family
Tim Scott says
No, I won’t. I leave it to you to make such idiotic claims.
Violent crime IS vastly overhyped by people who have a vested interest in scaring the populace, but that is nothing like the nonsense you and Alex Jones spew about “the victims are actors.”
Shot says
Lancaster, Pennsylvania?
Kat says
No, Lancaster California. It’s in Los Angeles County, but on the VERY TIP/END of Los Angeles County, in the desert.
WeNeedAMayorWhoLivesHere says
No. Lancaster, Pennsylvania has a sane mayor who actually lives in the town. She probably works overtime telling people, ‘No, that’s Lancaster, California’ every time something bad or crazy ends up in the news mentioning Lancaster. Bird sounds, fake sheriff shootings, 60 foot tall Buddha statues, Eye in the Sky, necktie bans, etc. All from the lesser Lancaster.
Tim Scott says
There’s more than two so I don’t think it would be “lesser Lancaster.” In regards to local government quality it’s more like least.
Palmdale is the Premier City Here says
How ’bout “Palmdale adjacent”?
It is sort of a bedroom community of Palmdale. There’s no “there” there.
Heck, the mayor doesn’t even there.
Voter says
Not only does our mayor not live here, he says we have no good restaurants and his wife won’t go to the BLVD. Yet we keep electing this idiot. Shame on us.
Yo Mamma says
We’re are the well located dear Sir I’m quite intrigued by this acquisition you have made..
Skeleton says
Nothing good ever happens in Lancaster. The toxic particles from the weapons being developed in the antelope valley are contaminating the brains of the community and notice they are mostly minorities. The San Fernando valley, even Los Angeles is safer. The residents are deceived. Leave,leave while you still can.
Laguna Larry says
The best thing that happens in Lancaster is when Rex drives his Aston Martin down to his beach mansion. There is always the chance that he will stay there and end his corrupt reign over Lancaster and the AV.

People are saying Oh, how is this happening, our town, our city. Oh boo hoo, Nooo. It’s the very same people who bring all the BS here. People from the valley and the displaced after they built the SoFi Stadium. Just these awful people bringing their awful, trivial problems up to the AV and labeling it all as our problem all of a sudden. Wake up people. These are not our people
Storm says
Agreed. The weekly murders are becoming too commonplace. The landscape is changing. I see it everyday. The street vendors, the shift in marketing to a new demographic. From the medical care, to the placement of food items even the decorum of the markets and clothing stores. The trash and debris, lack of resources and clothing items thrown on the floors. Yet the Mayor is allowing the housing development to continue. Vello development in between 30th and 45th in between Avenues J and K. The ADU’s and the other single family housing.
OhKay says
at the council meeting last tuesday the city council voted to get rid of all the code enforcement officers. check it out for yourself. Council resolution 22-62 on page 6.
Who’s dealing with the trash and debris now?
