Why is Canyon Country the only location ever mentioned in these articles? The others are “across town” never named. Bad people live in all parts of this city, but only Cayon Country is the only one named. We are not the only “bad” part of town, but this has been going on for years! Ive ben here long enough to have heard it many times from all parts of the government and press. Even people from out of town have noted it. We are half of the city, so of couse we have all types of people.
