Why is there only 1 street light on Calle Vejar street in city of Rancho Cucamonga, California?

Question

The homes on this street are older than the ones North of it. Yet it only has one street light? Is it because the value of the homes?

Answer 1

It's all the usual. Whoever has the money, money, money gets to be on the top of the cities' list for improvements, no matter what the actual priority of need is. I also live in California, and there are areas near me where literally the pavement will be cracked open, pot-holed, center dividing lines so old and faded they no longer exist. Then you turn a corner into the next zip code, where a new housing development project has been opened, "Grand Opening! Beautiful Homes Starting In The Low $600 Thousands!!" and the streets are smooth, all utility lines are underground, streets are tree lined and landscaped, all compliments of the city. Gee, I wonder why that is also? I have a sign at the corner of the intersection I live on that says "U Turn Only", with a picture of an arrow turning left. And a motorcycle cop hides under a tree most days waiting for confused motorists to turn left, so I get to listen to his siren all day.

Answer 2

You know what I find  hilarious about your question?

I used to live in Cucamonga a long time ago. 2 streets that intersected if I recall....Before it was a Rancho, lol. Cucamonga means 'land of no people' now they've urbanized it ha ha!

It used to be one apartment complex, sheep, rr tracks, excellant mom n pops grocer and barrio.

Rancho Cucamonga what a hoot!

You're lucky if the streets are even paved. Be thankful roflmao
