On Cathedral Oaks between the off-ramp of 154 to the next street there are all these recreational vehicles, company cars for tourists, and individual vans and cars. There has been an ongoing line of junk, boxes, papers, plastic cups, etc. this year. Who do I contact to get this stopped?

Didn’t you post this same complaint about a month or so ago? Did you put out trash cans so people have a place to dump their trash instead of tossing it out their vehicles? If I’m not mistaken that is county jurisdiction, or an unincorporated area of the city… Noleta East. Call the Sheriff Dept if you want to file a crime report…. their litterbug team is clearly not busy.
I’ve traveled quite extensively, and can tell you that littering vs. not littering is very cultural.
I’m not sure if it’s socioeconomic, as some “elites” might argue because they got an “A” in Sociology 101 at UCSB 20-30-40-50 years ago. One cannot point out that those who are less/more educated or less/more wealthy are more likely to drop a wrapper on the street or put an old mattress out on the side of the road. I’m not an elite, but I see what I see, and don’t make excuses for people based on shady “science.” Just sayin’
Use san Fernando valley as your metric .
I can’t make out if by “cultural” you’re alluding to ethnicity or not. Because littering was quite the norm here until the laws changed. I guess you could say the culture changed when the govt forced that change. Now people respect the environment or not depending on the “culture” they have for or against society as a whole. Same could be said for leaving shopping carts all over the parking lot vs. bothering to return them at least to a collection corral – I know y’all do it, I’ve seen you acting like you expect some minimum wage slub to pick up after you. Litterers aren’t any different.
our culture contains several different ethnicities. a segment of whom are litterbugs. This segment also contains all our cultural ethnicities.
