Re: “Residents’ Views Mixed on Lake View Terrace Incident” (Metro, March 8):

I take offense at the sensational depictions of life in Lake View Terrace “ . . . Where gang members and drug dealers play cat-and-mouse with police” and “horse ranches coexist with gangs and drugs.” It is as though your reporter were saying that the unfortunate beating of Rodney King would occur here because of the conditions in Lake View Terrace.

Lake View Terrace is an area in upward transition and the problems here are no worse than the problems elsewhere in Los Angeles. The location of the incident is purely coincidental.
