Los Angeles is finding this out. Some Los Angeles neighborhoods are without power as thieves steal copper wire (you'll never believe the mayor's solution) | Not the Bee
The theft of copper wires from street lights, internet cables, and even power lines (as dumb as that seems) has left parts of Los Angeles without power, reliable internet, and street lighting. Believe it or not, this is a pattern in Los Angeles.
The mayor's solution is to have the street lights replaced with solar lighting. She is responsible for street lights. She doesn't care if your refrigerator doesn't work, or you have no internet or phone service. That is not her department.
No joke, some residents have reportedly gone months without consistent internet connectivity due to these repeated crimes.
And Mayor Bass wants to solve the problem by going solar!
And yes, solar might work for street lights in Los Angeles. It is a desert with limited cloud cover, but it might not work all the time. The rest of the issues are not the Mayor's problem.
Commie like Bass deserve more of the scorn they get.
ReplyDeleteThe story here is the salvage companies/recycling centers which buy stolen goods. Making the centers responsible would go far to eliminate, or greatly reduce, the amount of stealing.
