carne asada is not a crime

Dear Supervisor Molina,

I am writing to express serious concern regarding the actions you have taken against the taco trucks in our neighborhoods. As a member of the Eastside community, I greatly value our local street vendors–for their food, service, and especially culture.
Taco trucks fill many voids left by traditional restaurants, whether it is more authentic, better food, better hours, or cheaper prices. Furthermore, taco trucks create a sense of community on the streets that enclosed, “brick-and-mortar” stores cannot.

Taco trucks are a special and unique facet of East Los Angeles, and something that I cherish about my neighborhood.

Most of all they provide me (and my band) with cheap eats after shows and rehearsals!

I urge you to withdraw your proposal, and instead focus on the more pressing and detrimental issues that are facing our community.
