A social media video highlights the stark difference between the city of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles when it comes to street maintenance.
David Bernstein, a Realtor in Beverly Hills , recently recorded a TikTok video that shows the Los Angeles portion of Whitworth Drive with several cracks and patches of broken road while the Beverly Hills section appears newly paved. “On the Beverly Hills side you can tell that they took care of the roads a lot better than the LA side,” Bernstein said.
“Beverly Hills has a higher tax rate, it’s smaller, a little bit less than 6 square miles, so they have more money to put into the smaller geographical area to take care of the city,” Bernstein said. “LA’s so big. I don’t know how they determine what part of the taxes go where.”Those who live on the LA side hope the city will use some of the tax dollars to finish paving the street.
“We always inform our neighboring jurisdictions our planned repair work and they will make the best decision based on their resources.”"The Department of Public Works has partnerships with some neighboring jurisdictions regarding street maintenance and will be reaching out to the City of Beverly Hills and other municipalities to explore partnerships on ways to address this issue, an official with the city of Los Angeles said.
