At any given time, more than 25,000 streetlights in Los Angeles need some kind of repair.
Due to a lack of funding, it can take more than three months to repair a streetlight, according to the bureau.
“Sometimes residents have told us six months or longer. So unfortunately, right now we’re finding ourselves really, really grappling with an issue that has been growing over the past five years,” Sangalang said. So, why are people stealing copper wiring? Sangalang said it’s a valuable material that can be recycled and sold. “For the thousands of dollars it costs us, it’s probably 100 bucks or so that people are actually getting out of it,” Sangalang said. In addition to getting a mediocre return, thieves can also get electrocuted.
