More info. There aren't political sides here. Just a problem to solve. It's crazy, I feel pity for these people but on the other hand do we want to stop the city from cleaning up the area? No cleanup means you're on your way to becoming a slum.
$430M in the budget on homelessness.
Homeowners in the neighborhoods fighting loudly to prevent shelters from being built, all but guaranteeing the problem won't get solved. They argue that it will bring more homeless people to the area, which is some crazy logic. Some aren't even arguing the financial point. They are literally arguing that solving the problem by giving these people homes will somehow create more homeless people.

- It's not LAs homeless problem. It's the USAs homeless problem. LA is big so it has services that make it easier than living in a field in Nebraska.monNom
- The solution probably looks more like bringing manufacturing back the the USA since it is so reliant on labour. Shelters just hide the problem out of sight.monNom
- Not that a shelter isn't useful. It's just not a solution to the underlying conditions that lead to homelessness in the first placemonNom
- put homeless people in empty buildings and give someone a job overseeing their living there. oh wait, that doesn't workimbecile
- They have 3/4 of a Trillion in surplus so no problem.robotron3k
