This article is about a gas spills in the parks underground this started since September ninth and has affected a whole community of San Marcos mobile home park. This has not been happening for a long time but it has affected hundreds of residents, they cant take hot showers, cooked meals, or clean laundry. This problem started September ninth when a huge gas leak was discovered in Rancho Santa Fe Road. Nobody has said why the gas has leaked but the owners don't want to turn them or repair them due to safety issues. This is a real problem because gas can cause air pollution which is bad for our health, their is elderly in the area, children, and soon to be mothers. The weeks are rough and they need to take care of the problem because their is safety issues so they need to fix the problem.
I chose this article because it interest me how the residents and the park owners don't want to help each other to fix the problem. It might be the city's responsibility but that doesn't mean that the residents and the owners cant help in some way. This is a real issue for the kids and elderly its bad for their health because of the pollution and chemicals gas has. Its important to be sanitary and that is why they need the gas to wash clothes and not eat only microwaved food. What i believe is interesting to me is that the fact that how much one pipe spilling can cause a big mess. It has affected so many and all depending on this pipe. This connects to everyday life because we depend so much on gas it helps us cook, helps us wash, help us with everything and when one thing goes wrong it affects a lot of other things.
The next steps i think should be taken are very simple. I think first of all is fix the pipes because if they keep them running the more pollution its causing. The second thing i thing they need to do is find a way to clean the area and the air and check the health of all the residents that live in the area. This is a significant article because the air is already very polluted and theirs chemicals and gases in the air that are bad and we don't necessarily need more gases that are polluting the air. The problems might take a long time and money to fix but what better helping others or thing about the self and just being selfish?
