**Skid Row**, located in downtown Los Angeles, has a long and tragic history. It's an area infamous for its **condensed homeless population**, poverty, and crime. Here are some key points about Skid Row:
1. **Origins and Growth**:
- Skid Row's roots trace back over a century. In the late 1800s, it became the "last stop" for early trains traveling across the United States. Vagabonds, runaways, and those with nowhere else to go arrived in Los Angeles, and Skid Row emerged as a result.
- Over the decades, it grew, attracting war veterans, drug addicts, and people unable to afford rising rents. Many spent their nights in bedraggled tents on the streets.
- In the 1970s, the city's policy of "containment" concentrated homeless services in Skid Row, effectively making it a permanent feature.
2. **Current Situation**:
- As of July 2023, there are approximately *46,000 homeless people* in Los Angeles, with an estimated 5,000 residing in Skid Row (some estimates go as high as 15,000).
- Economic crises and housing policies have contributed to Skid Row's recent growth.
- The ongoing fentanyl epidemic has further impacted the area's residents, and city officials acknowledge that there's no clear end in sight to the homelessness problem.
3. **Historical Context**:
- The term "skid row" originally referred to run-down urban areas where bars and brothels catered to low-income people and the unhoused.
- In Los Angeles, Skid Row began to take shape even earlier, with inexpensive hotels, bars, and brothels near the transcontinental railroad stop.
- Despite its tragic history, Skid Row remains a complex and challenging issue for the city.
For a deeper understanding, you can explore haunting images of Skid Row and learn about the struggles faced by its residents ⁵. The situation continues to evolve, and efforts to address homelessness remain ongoing.

It’s bad now not sure how we can clean the drugs when government allows this.
American needs to set up an exchange program. For anyone wanting to come to America to work and make a better life for themselves can come in with an exchange that their country has to take two of our homeless bums. Kind of like a two-for-one deal.. 😂
