CM PRESS # 394















MORE GANG GRAFFITI IN MESA NORTH THIS MORNING

(Note: Photo may be too dark to see on some monitors. We'll try to fix later. Thanks for your patience)

[UPDATE: 11:10 AM--6/15/08--Installed a new monitor at CM PRESS CENTRAL and the above photo is perfect. If it's too dark to see, you may need a new monitor--as did we].

Don't forget, graffiti is just a symptom. Cover up the symptom and you still have the disease.

We will keep having such symptoms until we remove the comfortable habitat for gangs that prior City Councils have established in Costa Mesa and which the present City Council seems incapable of removing.

Instead of coming up with a budget that will allow the City to buy up slum buildings, one here and one there, and tearing them down for much needed park space, the City Council just keeps pumping money into hiring more cops, spending more money on removing graffiti, and doing similar work-arounds instead of meeting the problem head on.

How many gangs in Newport Beach, folks? Here's your answer: None, Zero, Zilch. How many slums in Newport Beach? Your answer: None, Zero, Zilch.

To repeat, here's what should be done: Remove slum buildings. That's about the simplest way we can state this.
