Local problems in LA
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States. With the great number of population, crime is one of the major problems. The average crime rate in Los Angeles, either violent or property crime, is higher than the national average.
The Crime Statistics shows that the crime being most performed is larceny or theft. It has been a big problem since there are 77,111 crimes being reported. The second highest is car theft, the rate is 33,555.
In the downtown area of Los Angeles, there are not much parking lots for people to park their cars. So people might park their cars in narrow alleys or places where there are not a lot of people around. These places give the thieves more opportunity to steal someone else’s cars and belongings.
Due to the high population of the city, the price of the products are getting higher and higher. Wealthy people are making more money; however, people in the lower class cannot afford to pay double the money for a product. In order to feed their families, people started to do illegal things such as stealing.
To keep the crime rate in LA from increasing, the government should put on strict restrictions about migrants from coming into the place. The government should also make sure that the price of the products are fair for both high class and lower class citizens. Good policies from any kind of government are always better for the citizens.

Opinion
The crime rate in Los Angeles is increasing each year. In order to reduce the crime rate, I think that the government should set up really strict policies about immigrating into the city, how high and low the price of each product will be, and also set up birth policies like China.
If Los Angeles government set up these policies and regulations related to them, it can reduce the population growth of Los Angeles and other problems. When less wealthy people come into Los Angeles, the price of products won’t increase in such a rapid rate, people who are in the lower class will be able to afford their basic needs and feed their families. This way, these people won’t have to regulate the law and do things that will get them into trouble.
I also think that the government should give people who are in the lower class to have some benefits such as helping them to pay a proportion of their children’s tuition fees. Children will be educated; they will know what’s right and what’s wrong to do. With the more educated children and less burden of the family’s economy, I believe that there will be less stealing, murdering, suffering…etc. It will really improve the society and also the level of all the citizens in Los Angeles.
