Mercado Negro — Ramon Coronado

Um, OK. But since you mentioned you are right across the street from a huge park would it not be a better statement to be against all the criminality, thuggishness, brutality, and downright aberrant behavior that the neighborhoods simply put up with? And by doing so making it impossible to be a kid there?

Blame the PEOPLE who CAUSE the crime, not the people who do not. Be brave. Challenge the thugocracy - and that means the people in high places that are totally content to be elected by the very people who create parks that are too dangerous to play in and instead let their children play in the streets.

Responsibility sir. Local and on the ground.
Mercado Negro — Ramon Coronado:

"I took it upon myself to take a shopping cart and make a statement with it. I reclaimed LA's iconic shopping cart and created furniture for kids to enjoy in these urban Los Angeles areas. The project is a criticism of the scarcity of recreational functions for kids growing up in a dense city like Los Angeles."
That said, these are pretty cool works. Keep up the good work, but get mad at the people who continue to perpetrate and devastate, not elusive 'them's'. The "city" is NOT to blame, the people who allow it to happen in their neighborhoods are.
