There was once a time when Perris, California was the community to be feared. Crime was high, undesirable elements permeated their streets, and blighted areas were everywhere. Then there was Moreno Valley. In the 80's, this community was infiltrated with the inter-city people and problems. The impact was huge! Gangs became second nature....accepted, tolerated, permanent fixtures in town.
For a while, Hemet was immune to such degradation to the pristine quality of life ...then that changed. Hemet, you see, has become the hub for gang members, welfare recipients, the low cognition,Spanish speaking, gross obese, homeless, vagrant, and the host of societal ills that have the ability to congregate in one city. A quick trip to the local Super Walmart (take your pick, San Jacinto has one as well) will expose the various criminal elements that live in this community. Community leaders tend to steer away from such topics as the work diligently to lead the city into further depths of hell. They will proudly stand before you and simply speak of items that pertain to really nothing...because they know not what they do not know. Interesting cycling taking place.
Actve members of the Hemet community, numbering over 2,000 have taken on plight in Hemet and have set their sights on taking back this beautiful community. Finding trash, grafitti or vagrants on the streets is nearly a thing of the past. While City leaders my ignore the issue, the citizens have committed to doing whatever is necessary to take their community back
