I've had friends leave LA recently due to crime. And seeing high end boutiques in BH looted is unsettling.
BH is fine. The occasional robberies and targeted home burglaries, but that's consistent with anywhere in the world within/near major metro area. PD is very on top of stuff here, plus during some of those BLM protests a while back, BH brought in private security contractors to supplement. While the private security contractors have been gradually scaled back, still on patrol, which I love. Also, BHPD has an insane number of security camera's throughout the City plus near-constant drone observations. The BHPD control center or whatever they call it monitoring all the live feeds is damn impressive.
I couldnt imagine living outside of BH City limits anymore, so thankful for not just the police but all the city services here. LA is a straight up disaster for the most part (except small pockets that frequently have their own HOA's, or up in the hills, etc).
Had lunch at the Peninsula rooftop garden on Friday, delicious branzino!
