It's not just a couple hundred people watched out from those drug treatment centers that are up and down the SoCal coast - this is hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people. Not a handful of entire blocks but rather entire cities filled with hobos and trash. Not just a single section of the town is run down but entire parts of the state with city-after-city full of people living in tents right out in the streets. There are no jobs there. Nobody can afford a home. So many homeless they remain uncountable. View Quote He stood in line for a day of so and got a job at GM and worked his ass off. On his days off he sold coffee outside the plant until he earned enough money to bring his wife there. After all of us were born he moved back to NC and found another job and ran a landscaping business on the side. He was a kid with a 8th grade education who bought his second house (2700sq ft) and his Mercedes 450 by the time I was in Middle school. He worked and retired and mowed grass until a year before he died. These people in LA are just lazy fucks that don't understand what it is to work hard to make their dreams happen. |

It appears the Row is no longer a skid. It's grown into skid rows and rows and rows.

Nonsense. Let them know the truth. Skid Row is California with nearly 40-million people living this way. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are the only major cities in America where there are such problems and that's because of the liberals. Go downtown Baltimore, Atlanta, Memphis, Saint Louis, Gary, Houston, Portland, Seattle, Denver, or Birmingham and you'll see what a bigger city can look like when run well. View Quote I don’t know one person here is isn’t of the opinion that every one of those cities you mentioned is a shithole. Why take offense. I live in Ohio, Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, Toledo...all shitholes . I grew up in Michigan, Detroit , Lansing......shitholes. It isn’t personal . |

This is true. Not trying to downplay the problem or it's creeping tendencies. I stay at the Westin Bonaventure at least once a month and there's very few homeless people sleeping on the streets in the downtown district. But you see plenty of tents going in and out of that area. They're underneath overpasses and piled up next to on-ramps and off-ramps. It's a big problem but it hasn't actually taken over the downtown area yet. Give it a couple more years... Every single big city I’ve ever been to is a shithole . Every. Single . One .

Depraved. The total moral bankruptcy of the left/communists on display.
Moral insanity...it always ends badly. LA and the other shitholes are going to get worse and worse... |

As someone who is trying to currently navigate zoning laws... I don't understand how they don't have laws against erecting tents and just confiscate/burn them.

Coming soon to a major democrat controlled city near you. View Quote I don’t go into Pittsburgh much anymore. The only reason I go is to see a pirates game. And so far not this year. But it’s been run by democrats since as long as I know. Ten years ago, and more, it was really bad. Tent compounds for bums along the rivers, panhandlers everywhere. You would see lots of piles of rages and rugs and tents under the many bridges and over passes from the roads. Some asshole even mined a little cave under one of the roads under the parkway, near the county jail. Better than sleeping on the huge rocks they have covering the ground under that ramp/over pass I guess. Eventually they must have dragged him out of there, due to undermining the road. The number did drop - before the commie peduto was elected mayor. Maybe they herded up the worst and bused them somewhere else? |

I was listening to NPR while grabbing breakfast this morning. The California Democrats are holding their convention this weekend.
I was thinking of the plague-ridden streets of Los Angeles when Barbara Lee said at :22 "California Democrats are the most progressive and the most Democratic and the wokest Democrats in the entire country!" https://ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/wesun/2019/06/20190602_wesun_democratic_candidates_descend_on_california_and_offer_a_preview_of_fights_to_come.mp3 They see nothing wrong with their governance.

About a month ago, I had occasion to be in "downtown" San Francisco. Yes, it has become 3rd world. Tents blocking the sidewalks on multiple streets, trash everywhere, people splayed out, random shady characters milling around in the streets, people lined up at the soup kitchens before they were open, and all of it. They, too, are having disease and rodent problems. It's an epidemic of libtard-induced societal degeneration.
It's sad that all of this is 100% the fault of rich, white libtards who want to control everybody else's life and yet lose control of their own lives thru sheer stupidity. |

I wonder what the demographics of downtown LA are? View Quote They keep the tourist areas clean so once you get to the Convention Center/Staples Center it looks nice, but two blocks away it’s a shit hole. From what I’ve seen most of the homeless are black and white, and it’s more of a mental illness/drug addiction problem than a “I’m down and out” situation. |

One of the most disgusting things about this phenomenon is the number of people
getting rich off of it. They start non-profits to "help" the homeless, addicts, children, etc. then they get govt grants...they are the most dangerous parasites in our society. And the left celebrates them! The more wretchedness there is, the richer they get. It will only get worse. |
