Not LA, Orange County. Combined the two are like the 15th biggest economy in the world. A lot of the lawless yuppie spawn out here are spending time in jail. There's been a pronounced increase in the number of jail letters I see, all decorated with pencil drawings. You need tough judges. We had a case a couple of years ago in Yorba Linda where a kid was caught selling drugs and turned into an informer for the police. He was found out by a "Swede" gang he was dealing with in Norwalk, and the two gangbangers killed the boy, gang raped his girlfriend, shot her in the face, and left her for dead. She survived. The police deny that they had anything to do with this particular deal, and maintain that the boy was back trading dope on the side, convinced that he could argue he was "doing undercover work" if he got caught again. Getting shot by genuine badass gangbangers also cures yuppie spawn of their lawless ways.

I lived in Orange County for 35 years. Nothing that has happened or is happening there was or is terribly unique. The effects of urbanization are well documented. The rise and decline of the first suburbs is not a new sociological phenomenon. The changing demographics of the county are not unprecedented in American (or California) history. Many people don't like change, but it is as inevitable as death.
