Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, July 26, 2026

A series of water main breaks across Los Angeles in recent days is raising concerns about the city's aging infrastructure and whether more failures could occur. Crews continued working to repair the massive trunk line that ruptured Thursday in West Hollywood, leaving behind a large sinkhole on Sunset Boulevard. The break is the latest in a string of water main failures that have flooded streets, damaged homes and businesses, closed roadways and disrupted water service. In Studio City, an 8-inch water main failed, flooding a street and temporarily leaving about 60 customers without water while crews completed repairs.

I think this is indicative of much of American infrastructure. American government is spending an enormous amount of money on interest and entitlements, and the infrastructure is deteriorating rapidly.

Why all the deflection.

The infrastructure in Los Angeles needs to be repaired.

Unfortunately all this city's taxes go to Beverly Hills, Hancock Park, Bel Air and other wealthy neighborhoods.

Most of this city was built in the 40s and 50s and hasn't been upgraded since.

@#5 ... The infrastructure in Los Angeles needs to be repaired. ...

As does the infrastructure of most older American cities.

That infrastructure was designed for an environment and usage scenario that no longer exist.

I didn't read the article, nor do I care what OneTrumper thinks about Los Angeles.

But for such a wealthy city, Los Angeles is crumbling.

Los Angeles needs a Mamdani.

Calgary has had two major water main breaks in the last 18 months.
