Just like in NYC, some banks and other financial institutions are counselling employees not to wear wedding rings to work and also avoid taking public transportation, to avoid being a target. Also many residents are taking Lyft and Uber instead of driving themselves because the driver waits until the passenger safely enters their home before driving off----another layer of security.
All the high end stores in my daughter’s neighborhood (the Grove) are still open, but boarded up.
This certainly fosters a very real element of fear not only for residents, but visitors.
I’m wondering about what other measures Angelenos, and others visiting LA deem prudent?
