Westwood Lane Blight in Action

Blighted Areas such as Honey Hills and Westwood Lane, attract Drug Business or so it would appear in the recent arrest of three Men operating some sort of illegal business distributing or dispensing dangerous drugs or medical devices and using a minor child in conjunction with their business operations either as a cover or front.

Yep it may be time to take a look at redeveloping those houses on the hill and make them into perhaps a Blue Mountain Business district that has high end Restaurants and Strip Clubs with a View of the Valley and Mountains (when the air is clear). This would provide income from taxes, that illegal drug businesses don’t pay.

Now on the serious side. Keep alert. When the local economy does not provide legitimate jobs sufficient to pay for living in the community, illegal activity will take root. With the prevalence of drug use, and graffiti (Drug Dealers/Gang Territory Markers and Advertisements), burglary and family disturbances you can add it up to an increase of the use and distribution of Drugs in a community and a legitimate economy that does not support its citizens.

Please, be alert, this cycle is never going to end unless the cost of living in GT is equal to what can be earned in Grand Terrace, and the family and neighbors of Grand Terrace refuse to tolerate drug use, sales, and drug money.
