My wish is for this neighbourhood Downtown-la Latina to be cleaner. I live here since the 70’s, and it has never been so full of graffiti, it’s a shame, such a beautiful historic neighbourhood in which anyone can buy a spray (which they sell in any store) is owner of the street and can dirty façades, stones, which although cleaned will never look the same. I also wish outdoor bars to clean paper napkins that falla to the ground, if they have a business the street doesn’t have to be full of garbage. And, last, to find housing for the homeless.
