THERE IS A LOT OF DEPRESSION IN THE CITY FROM ALL THE LACK OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CITY BEING BURNT DOWN AND THE LACK OF PREVENTIONS, AND THE LACK OF APPROPRIATE CARE SINCE, THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NEED A LITTLE EXTRA. WE MAY NEED A LITTLE BIT. THEY MAY NEED A LITTLE BIT EXTRA TO TAKE CARE TO DEAL WITH THE HORRIFIC THINGS. THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DONE OR NOT DOING. YOU KNOW WH, IT COMES TO WATER AND STUFF. I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT SMOKING SCAN HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT. AND LET'S GET INTO, OH THE STREET LIGHTING, NOW I THINK THAT STREET LIGHTING IS VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW, LIKE I, LIKE I KNOW NORTH HOLLYWOOD IN THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF THERE IS BEEN TWO HOMICIDES, AND I'M SURE THERE IS BEEN A LOT OF OTHER HOMICIDES, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT CRIME IS OUT OF CONTROL AND ALL THAT STUFF BECAUSE LAPD KEEPS SWEARING THAT CRIME IS DOWN. THE POINT IS THAT YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE. AND IF YOU'RE GOING DOWN TWO BLOCKS AND THERE IS NO LIGHTING, YOUR MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BECOMING A CRIME VICTIM. I'M FOR LIGHTING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS ON YOUR AGENDA OR ON YOUR MIND THAT YOU'RE NOT TAKING CARE OF PUBLIC WORKS. ALL RIGHT, I'M JUST GOING TO GO INTO MY PUBLIC COMMENT. THAT BEING SAID.
