San Fer­nan­do May­or Robert Par­ris says sig­nif­i­cant im­prove­ments to pub­lic or­der are pos­si­ble with­out lan­guage he be­lieves di­min­ish­es the coun­try, as de­bate con­tin­ues over how lo­cal au­thor­i­ties should ad­dress in­dis­ci­pline and en­force­ment.

In a state­ment is­sued yes­ter­day, Par­ris wel­comed what he de­scribed as a more an­a­lyt­i­cal ap­proach by Ch­agua­nas May­or Faaiq Mo­hammed to shared chal­lenges such as il­le­gal vend­ing, over­grown pri­vate lots and pub­lic nui­sance—is­sues he said San Fer­nan­do con­fronts dai­ly.

Par­ris said so­lu­tions al­ready im­ple­ment­ed in the city show mod­ern lead­er­ship re­quires more than iden­ti­fy­ing prob­lems, call­ing in­stead for struc­tured analy­sis, prac­ti­cal re­spons­es and guid­ed im­ple­men­ta­tion.
