    Lake Los Angeles has gone way down the sewage drain in the past 20 years. Used to be a nice place to live. But now you have illegals, tweeters and L.A. scum all over who have ruined the town.

    Which house was it? The article only states the 39400 block of 167th. St. E.

    To be honest I lived in Lake Los Angeles for most of my life and I can say that it is generally a very quiet and safe place to live. There has been an average of fewer than 1 per year since the year 2000, and for 2016 and 2017 there was not a single homicide in the town.
