Dear Patch People... Why include an article in the Moorpark Patch that has to do with local…Read More politics in LA? Why should this take up space in our Patch? Anybody following the elections in LA can turn to the LAT on line or any number of other sources if interested. Just wondering... I prize the local news and the timeleness of the Patch. Forget the stuff that doesn't really impact our community.

All I want is a Mayor who will not march in a parade of illegals. There was nothing more insulting…Read More than hearing that your Mayor is celebrating the cause of one of our biggest financial problems...supporting the illegals. The DWP thing bothered me also. They are out of control, so that negative advertising did bother me about her alliance with them. But I really did want Wendy Gruel to win, but didn't really care all that much, as long as they were not hispanic, because we saw what happened with Villairagosa.

This article should put in better context....look at the other big cities, e.g., New York City, even…Read More San Diego! LA is the nations second largest city and did not fare badly and seems to be in line with other large cities. The cities that ranked the highest are are mainly smaller cities.

Its is now almost 3 AM and only 20% of the precints in CD3 have reported their votes!!!! (CD 3 is…Read More the south/west SF Valley) while most CD's have reported 80-90%!!!!
What is the problem??? This seems very strange!

Such censorship on this thread tonight...Just confirms my feelings that candidate who ran the…Read More sleaziest campaign and remained without a platform lost the mayor's race tonight....

When it says the Los Angeles Times 'endorses' someone or something does that mean they took a vote…Read More of all employees working at the Times or is it just a meaningless blurb by a small coven of inflated corporate propagandists kissing A with the Federal government or some other powerful special interest influence?

There is a lot of missing information in these numbers. LA County has approximately 10 million…Read More people in it. They say people have access to 2.5 million jobs but do not mention how many people are vying for those jobs. It also, of course, does not mention the relative education and training of the residents versus the requirements and compensation packages of the jobs. I spent nearly a year looking for a middle-management job and finally found one 45 minutes away. In this town, that is a short commute.

Not only is the answer "no", it's "hell, no". "Accessability to jobs?"…Read More By spending hours in personal vehicles? The absolute lousiest public transportation for a city of this population? What were they smoking before they crunched the numbers? Is there some spreadsheet error we don't yet know about? Are they confusing apples with oranges? Sheesh! I used to take Metrolink when I worked, but I wouldn't exactly call it convenient nor inexpensive. Short trip to the train station, but.......and no, my employer did not kick in any $ like so many others did. That's life.

This study suffers from a classic error. It assumes that access translates into a job--which is…Read More often not the case. Because of high housing costs, many Angelinos can not afford to move and thus select long commutes over moving to a higher rent/ purchasing a new home nearer the job. There is also a second self selection re commutes-- individuals will stay with a job close by, even if it means giving up raises or advancement to avoid excessive commutes or finding new housing.

I work in the building near where it happened. I was told 2 cars were racing. This one hit the…Read More pole and the other car fled the scene. The lane markings are fine, its just a curvey area people go through too fast.
