Who's the douchenozzle Republican who keeps burying facts about Lancaster? ARNOLD RODIO WAS THE FIRST MAYOR, NOT KLIENER! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desertbob ( talk • contribs) 05:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
It looks like the business bureau has written this description of Lancaster for Wikipedia. There needs to be mention of a few of the social ills Lancaster has. Which are many. There is a lot of gang activity. There is a lot of drug use. It may say on paper that a majority own their own homes, but a lot of these homes are rented out. People buy the homes cheap and then rent them which does nothing for neighborhood cohesion let alone appearance. There is a lot of dumping. Lancaster is low-rent; it feels that way and looks that way. Get real. - signed by anon IP
Indeed, "Car Wreck" Parris, the "big frog in a little pond" lawyer and mayor, has had his minions policing Wackypedia, weeding out all the bad stuff that is true. Lancaster is listed as one of the 100 most dangerous cities in the US, and its principle industry right now is welfare. The place is a sewer by anyones' standards except for the ghetto trash that are moving in here every month in a flotilla of U-Hauls. All these latest "fluff" edits MUST be regressed back to the real truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desertbob ( talk • contribs) 05:29, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
i live in lancaster plz ask me about it. i live near 60th W and Ave L. I dont get out much because it's a hell hole though. btw why am i one out of two comments here??
There used to be a subheading mentioning the Jethawks and a picture of the stadium. Where did they go? Whomever edited this article needs to go and put that info back on the page. It is an important part of Lancaster and possibly an important reference point for the city for outsiders. Someone should also go and get a photo of the fairgrounds as well.
The info is still there, it's in the Recreation and culture section. The JetHawks is such a small paragraph linking to their own wikipedia article that a separate heading isn't really appropriate. Good point on the stadium pic, though, I think I've got one that I can add. Will have to go dig it out. Akradecki 19:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Please remember that Wikipedia strives to offer information from a neutral point of view. This is a place to report facts, rather than to offer your opinion on them; the point of the article is not to give vent to anyone's opinion for whether, or why, or how, the city has troubles. There are things about our community I'm not happy about either, but this is not the forum for airing those grievances. 198.72.160.7 ( talk) 13:42, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Burt Likko

Can someone tell me where the facts behind this statement reside. "but since the 1980s was a destination for African Americans, most represented in upper-incomes and middle-class families" Additionally, it would be nice to not have such a sugar coating on this page. It reads like it is written the the city council and the chamber of commerce. What about the a section on local economy that list the prison, challenger juvenile hall, the county immigrant detention center. What the the fact that we have a higher concentration of Section 8 housing than anywhere in the county? Or that we have relocated Bloods and Crips street gangs? This is supposed to be a factual, objective, website, and if this page is any indication of the sugar coating that goes on, then is calls into question all the rest of the content on this site. I honestly believed that it was more acurate then what has been portrayed on this page. I would be happy to do the research and add the "other half of the story" as it where. -- Robertl3rd 15:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Is this really believable, considering ACS estimates 22% of the population living in poverty in 2006? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.170.110 ( talk) 20:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Hope this is the place to add this.
Can some one add info about: Civic Commercial: "Grooves" In September of 2008, we carved grooves into a quarter mile stretch of asphalt on the outskirts of Lancaster, CA. The goal was to create an experience that embodied the connection Civic drivers feel with the road. Did it work? How’d we do it? What was the song? Watch and learn. Not sure where to put it? Recreation?

Lancaster, CA is not on the list of 100 Most Dangerous Cities at the link described which was in 2008. http://os.cqpress.com/Crime%20State%202008_Most%20Dangerous.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesrist ( talk • contribs) 06:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Pre-incorporation Lancaster appeared inside the Thomas Bros. Maps logo on the first page of the L.A. County 1970 edition. Lancaster Boulevard is covered in pink (Lancaster) and the green swath of land below (Palmdale?. But the section was known as " Antelope Village", but Palmdale was in orange in 1960's TBM pages, so it wasn't Palmdale. The community of Dennis on Sierra Highway located between them and Palmdale was unincorporated, unless there was two Lancasters or Lancaster and Dennis disincorporated in the 1970's. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g224/Bigmikelakers/IMG_0011-1.jpg[/img]
"Dennis" is a misspelling of the Southern Pacific spur and siding named "Denis" that feeds (or used to feed) Lockheed's Plant 10 and the rest of Plant 42. Since there's no manufacturing going on at any plant anymore, the spur has been inactive for years, just like the one north of Ave I that used to serve a mill. Union Pacific recently ripped out the crossing at Division St. and removed the rails east of there. Reason? No more industry (meaning jobs) here...all welfare and Section 8. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desertbob ( talk • contribs) 06:12, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
I knew Palmdale was less populated and was formed earlier in 1962, but experienced massive population loss between 1964 and 1969 out of fear that the nearby San Andreas Fault would rupture and the Palmdale Bulge geological phenomena was thought to predict a Mag. 8+ tremor, and the 1969 new age psychic prediction of L.A. was gonna get hit...never happened. Palmdale and Lancaster would experience rapid population growth later. 71.102.26.168 ( talk) 04:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

The article contradicts itself....in the section entitled economy, it cites 70% home ownership, but the US Census info cites owner occupied homes at 60%. Also think lots of this article sounds like an advert... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.225.61 ( talk) 15:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
This article is a puff piece concocted by "Car Wreck" Parris and his small biz buddies. The city is a sewer, and a ghetto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desertbob ( talk • contribs) 05:40, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
An editor added a paragraph about a prison in Lancaster. One of the sources, by Denis Wolcott, could not be confirmed, so I only added information by the source that could be confirmed. As well, this prison has its own article; it does not need a category of it's own on this article, or such a lengthy entry. Magnolia677 ( talk) 05:19, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
The above editor did not add a thing but deleted much that has good references and has long been sourced in the article about the prison. We are dealing with an editor who history shows a lengthy history of reverting IP editors with very little reasoning given. Frequent reverting of articles which an editor has little knowledge or interest often leads to sloppy edits as above. The article edit is an obvious attempt to minimize the prison from the history of the city. It was not even mentioned in the article about the city of Lancaster which is quite surprising to not find a state prison mentioned. The history section also is labeled as written like a tourist brochure and the editor Magnolia has done nothing to improve the article and has actually helped maintain the tourist brochure style. 172.56.31.136 ( talk) 06:44, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Because the Los Angeles Aqueduct is a city owned utility, Lancaster cannot be a beneficiary of an improved water supply coming from the aqueduct. Water passing through LAA1 and LAA2 benefits only the city of Los Angeles. However, Lancaster may have benefited from the State California Aqueduct.
"The construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, starting in 1908, brought growth to the local economy by housing the aqueduct workers and introducing a steady stream of water"
