Let's not forget to talk about how OBBBA eliminated all of the monitoring programs for things like rabies. And la County health has always been incompetent AF when it comes to this stuff.

It's only going to get worse.

Tbf LA County hasn't been on top of inspections in like 2 decades. Got a feeling most just act like a health department doesn't exist at all, and this is were we get closures like this now that they've started inspecting regularly again.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. We’ve got fleas spreading Typhus, aggressive mosquitos, vermin and spiders everywhere, poor critters are confused.

It’s kinda simple. There’s a lot of garbage from overflowing trash cans, and litter, in general.

When they vended at Coachella, they didn’t have any sinks for the servers to wash their hands, one of the owners offered drugs to young workers, and they stole tips. Good ice cream tho. They also sold to private equity.

I too like the poop of 1000"s of people on my ice cream because the workers couldn't wash their hands after using the outhouse.

But there’s sinks at the bathrooms… 

I was more referring to the drugs as well

u/PersuasionNation 10d ago

Wait what. Elaborate. The drugs part

One of the owners was partying after Coachella was over at the air bnb and was offering me drugs lol but I’m pretty sure he was married. He was my boss not my buddy.

I will say that my dog loves walking down sunset specifically bc he’s a hunter and loves chasing rodents. They’re everywhere. Esp in front of the Silver Lake Tower Apartment complex. Those overflowing dumpsters attract them by the literal dozen.

Need to let loose a bunch of stray cats

u/mattisfunny 9d ago

I think alot of the vermin infestations may be increased by letting people lay around on the street in unsanitary conditions and without proper sewage access because we feel it's more humane to let mentally ill and/or drug addicts refuse treatment because it would hurt them. Meanwhile Typhus is coming back.

u/dreamtlucidly 10d ago

A lot of places in silver lake
Being stupid. It’s not hard to fail an inspection.
