Wow. That first video is mind boggling. I lived in the area for well over 30 yrs and I did not have any idea it was that bad.
I agree with pretty much everything Gascon is doing, so I am assuming that was meant tongue in cheek racket. You are usually consistent if nothing else.
^That's just one area of LA. It's spread out all over the place. Lot's of videos out there. Ton's of homeless living by Anaheim Stadium too. I was back in Cali for the first time in July since 1987(except LAX). Went to see places in the SFValley where I used to live and grew up (Canoga Park, Woodland Hills) and there were homeless people living on the street there. It was very depressing to see and was totally shocked for sure. Glad I don't live there anymore. You don't see this shit on that East coast. California is fucked and it's glory days are over!
The results of prop. 47, prop. 57, and ab109. The experiment is failing, but the privileged that "have no idea it's that bad", because you live in the burbs, continue to vote for this craziness.
I am not looking to defend, justify, or argue any of this but, although LA is often held up as a grand example, it is very sadly everywhere in the U.S., including a more gritty, drug-addicted version in THE EAST COAST''s Philly here:
I have seen it all exponentially grow and fester across the country since the 90's, including places like Salt Lake, and no place or its police, politicians, or citizenry seem to have any viable solution(s).
Well of course homelessness is everywhere. Even in Alaska and every country on Earth but Cali attract's people for the dream and weather therefore the inevitable.
Prophet on a burning shore for sure. I used to love LA and Cali. Dylan was right about the Times Changin'
Doc, one of the main differences in the coasts is the weather. Maybe that is why it is so evident out here. And not so much on the eastcoast. How many of those folks in LA are from the east coast? I would venture a lot of them. The main problem is the same everywhere in this country. The rich getting richer and fuck everybody else.
3 billion dollars has been approved in Los Angeles over the last five years to help house people on the street.
The rich get richer is right. Non profits, politicians, and developers sucking the tax dollar tit, and the homeless count is going up. That 3 billion is all but gone.
^Well would you like a tent encampment on the sidewalk in front of your house or business!? I think not. In SF their shitting and pissing on the sidewalk where peoples livley hoods are affected.
Who would enter a business with homeless tents in front. I have sympathy but be real!
Why should working people be allowed affordable housing in the same city that they work in? They don't have the skills to pay the bills so they gotta find somewhere else to live.
And people take the train from Da Bronx and other burroughs in NYC everyday to work in Manhattan. It's called commuting. There are actually people who train it in all the way from Pennsy to NYC for the almost 3 hour one way trip everyday to support their families.
So there are answers being ignored that can solve all of this?
It's all easily explainable and easy to point the shamey finger at who is to blame? It's the damned evil rich, or the blind middle class, or the foolish Left or the uncaring Right?
Give all the homeless a place to live and a job?
Lock 'em all up?
Put them in buses and dump them in New York City in January? Machine-gun them? (Those ideas WOULD work, but are just a little extreme)
The reality to this complex, completely out-of-control issue is that there are no easy answers, or anyone in particular to easily blame.
It's not cool for people who ate producing nothing for their communities to have a parasitical relationship with a community that is a softer touch. U.S. citizens who refuse to work or have psychological, addiction, or other traumas should be sent back to their states of origin to have their situations attended to instead of it becoming another states' issue.
"In 2005, when Los Angeles County conducted its first count, more than 82,000 people were reported as homeless, according to the Los Angeles County Homeless Services Authority. By 2019, that number had dropped to 59,000."
