It's horrid in LA and don't kid yourselves, it's not isolated to Downtown. It's a huge problem throughout Southern California and there's no cleanup or solution. Instead, they're putting homeless on busses and relocating the homeless to other areas, building more homeless facilities, trying to get more Federal funding for the homeless and illegal homeless. Now we have tents on our sidewalks in the suburbs. They go to the bathroom outside our grocery stores and by the bus stops. They yell at you in the parking lot if you don't give them money. They hit cars with pipes at stoplights. They walk through traffic. There are disposable needles thrown on the ground in our kid parks because our government supplies them with new ones. Rat infestation is commonplace. LA is becoming San Francisco. The bar has been set low by San Francisco and LA is matching it. Watch our taxes rise again in the name of the homeless but they'll just reallocate it to something else. Yet they all keep getting re-elected. Makes no sense.
