At the center of my town is a smaller, older part of town originally known as Fry Town. This is located just down the road from my nice neighboorhood, and this place is an entity all it's own. This is where the druggies live and frequent. They have trashed the area and police/the community has not yet done anything to clean up the mess they have made. Dozens of discarded old couches lay in piles along with other big and small debris. Dilapidated and condemned trailers have been torn apart and strewn about, other trailers have been burned down, and never cleaned up afterwards.


I mean jesus! It's so sad. It has become a ghost town almost now, but a few people are still living within the trailers and houses that haven't been borded up by the cops and marked with a red "PRIVATE PROPERTY" sign.

It just doesnt look right for a town in America. It's been like this for a long, long time. I wonder what any of us can do.

  • In my town of Carson, Ca there are several plots of abandoned land. There are signs from the city mapping out a project they plan to undertake in these areas that have been there for years, untouched. These areas gather broken beer bottle, trash, and yes, couches as well. Anytime a homeless person attempts to set up camp on these areas, they are immediately kicked off the property. The city puts so much effort in denying struggling people a place to sleep, (which is just a pile of dirt anyway) and take no action to build or plant flowers in these areas.

    Carson is extremely overpopulated. Housing prices are rising and the few housing structures available for low income families are being threatened to be turned into regular housing complexes and condos.

    I believe the lack of attention to these random areas of town is due to the city council's corruption. Offenses of our representatives and elected city officials range from taking bribes, physical battery in a heated council meeting, election freud, etc. How can a council focus on positive change in the community they were elected to change when they are so focused on their own personal greed? It's sad.
