L.A. mayor looking at shutting city down two days a week
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants a plan to be drawn up to shut the city down for two days a week beginning April 12 because of their budget crisis.
"There are no easy decisions or simple ways to solve this budget crisis,” Mayor Villaraigosa said in a statement. “But as the CEO of this great city, it is my responsibility to make these difficult but necessary decisions to steer the city out of this crisis and onto solid financial ground."
Villaraigosa said he hoped a plan could quickly be developed so they could calculate how much money it would save the city while they hold emergency meetings to try and figure out how to replenish the city's general fund.

"Help, I need immediate city services!" "sry kthxbye" :lol

What happened was that the idiot mayor was going to try to use the power company to siphon money from people to save the city. People fucking revolted when they found out their power bills could go up 200% more than they are now. So then the power company said "fuck you" to the city and didn't give them $77 million that they owed them.
This is why you don't live in LA County people.

What the fuck.
Stuff like makes me NOT want to move to Cali but goddamit, so tempting.

It's okay, as long as you don't require city services two out seven days per week, it's pretty awesome Himumu!

So L.A. will be a latin american city for 2 days???
-
I'd guess that this would include everything other than police and fire department though.

It already is. This is the same city where the mayor refuses to speak to the press unless there's a "Spanish speaking camera" present.

LA is literally turning into Detroit, and you want me to move out there? :lol
NY is in deep shit too but at least no one's proposing to shut down the fucking city two days a week just to try and save money.

You don't have to live in LA County. Orange, Ventura, Riverside are all surrounding LA and aren't as shitty.

I've heard about a lot of shitty things about this mayor but that, why is that a problem? English is not America's official language and California has tons of Spanish-only speaking citizens.

He doesn't do it for them. He does it to look cool.

Oblivion lives in NoHo? We should hang out, bro. Maybe head down to Lankershim and Magnolia and hit up the Pitfire?

Sure! I'm down with that. But I thought you live D.C or somewhere on the East Coast now?

I'm in NoHo several times a year (business!), my buddies live off of the drag. The next time I'm out there, I'll hit you up.

I have an image of you, at the beach with some Ray Bans on. A helicopter lazily pulls up, drops off some 5'11 Dark Haired Chechen women. You all start running around the pale sand beach to Benny Hill.
