- Village of the Damned Walking into Homeless Downtown Los Angeles, walk with me on a weekend morning as we explore the everyday life of a homeless person, from drug use to Just surviving and staying warm its all here on skid row.
*Skid Row* in Los Angeles is a neighborhood located in *Downtown Los Angeles**, officially known as **Central City East**. It's an area with a **long history* of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and homelessness advocacy. Here are some key points about Skid Row:
1. *Origin of the Name:*
- The term "skid row" comes from a logging practice where logs were slid down greased skids to nearby rivers. Loggers who accompanied the logs would wait at the bottom for transportation back to the logging camp.
- Over time, the term was used for areas where people with no money gathered, becoming synonymous with depressed streets in cities.
2. *Homelessness Population:*
- Skid Row contains one of the *largest stable populations of homeless people* in the United States, estimated at over **4,400**.
- This condensed homeless population has been present since at least the **1930s**.
3. *Geographic Boundaries:*
- Skid Row covers approximately *fifty city blocks* immediately east of downtown Los Angeles.
- It is bordered by Third Street to the north, Seventh Street to the south, Alameda Street to the east, and Main Street to the west.
4. *Historical Context:*
- City officials established Skid Row in *1976* as an unofficial "containment zone" for homeless shelters and services.
- During the 1970s, two Catholic Workers, Catherine Morris and Jeff Dietrich, founded the *"Hippie Kitchen"* in the back of a van to provide assistance.
5. *Demographics:*
- As of 2019, the racial demographics of Central City East (which includes Skid Row) were approximately **39.7% Black/African American, 22.3% White, 16.3% Asian, and 15.1% Hispanic or Latino**.
- The population consists of both native and foreign-born residents.
Despite its challenges, Skid Row remains a notable district in Los Angeles due to its unique history and ongoing advocacy efforts³⁴. If you'd like more information, feel free to explore the [Skid Row History Museum & Archive](www.lapovertydept.org/skid-ro.... 🌟

This is peak American civilization.
It doesn’t get any better than this! No one is even campaigning off the homeless embarrassment
Under a very beautiful sky...........................?
California should call Cahomeless.
Great name for a failed state
Gavin Grusome is looking at Washington to become president…
If the government, those is power, wanted to help, eliminate homelessness, it could have been done. There are those that benefit from this.
Yes! It’s in place for a reason lots of GS high paid workers down here. Civil Servants have a great life working here plus benefits plus retirement!
yep. bunch of political grifters live off of "helping" the homeless
Where I am from,you can't do this. Lucky I live Hawaii.
You’re lucky!
Where's the movies stars?..where Cosmo 🤣🤣🤣
They only come out when they need money to promote themselves and people worship them. The brainwashed groups. Hollywood is evil!
America is half way hitting rock bottom, you can foresee another 10 years it will be rock bottom and it will be very difficult to revive and sustain.
I thought we were at rock bottom now!
Sorry to say ( but ) in places like this _ pretty soon people just going to walk naked on the streets 😮
I’ve seen that already 😊
fucking UGH!
thats been happening every summer already for he past ten years . usually one or two women will do that every year . but 99 percent of the people down there would never do that .
Meanwhile, the central government is allocating extraordinarily large funds in the form of weapons and finance for Ukraine and Israel... Great job!
Bumps tresspassing
Your title is making it seen like its a hollywood horror movie for ratings. There are grandmas, grandpa's, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who are going through bad times in their lives, but not dammed. You errored bad for likes. and yes I been through skid row many times
The more people see what’s happening the better to fix it forget about titles people should see this.
where are my free clothes??????????????
the collective net worth of all these animals does not equal a ham sandwich!
Empathy goes along way...but hate takes more effort and comes with a price!....
@@danellekelley7062 NOT HATE REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@renardfranse You should elaborate... it sounds bad, maybe you meant it to be! So many chalk these people into many things! Many disregard them. They are hugely overlooked. Many mock them. The reality is that this can be anyone! That's the truth! Tread carefully. 🤎
@@danellekelley7062 Reality elaborates for me!
@@danellekelley7062 Watch star wars and THEN ask me!
*keep voting blue and eventually this will happen to you. 😂
not me pal! and I dont vote LOL
Newsome has spent all of the homeless funds on himself. I think hes got 3 houses 😢
@@carolestafford5187 the blue mafia is real and awful dear. He has paved California in sick, addicted, filthy homeless and desperate people. They are full feudal super rich and working poor and homeless. Look at San Diego one of the most beautiful places, now laid to waste by Newsom. He is flooding rich enclaves like La Jolla with refugees. It is an accelerating and precipitous decline. We’re turning into. ‘Purge’ movie. And not in a good way…. ☺️
@renardfranse You should! Be a part of the solution, not the problem.👌
To the original comment, I couldn't agree MORE!!❤
Leave this city
Many are, they are leaving to Florida, Texas and to Colorado where I live. They are coming, sick and tired of this crap! I just hope they vote appropriately. We are trying to overcome this, yet it's hard to when busses of people are coming from the border and dropped off in our nearest cities as we are funded for only so much....
Trump 2024❤❤
You need Trump
Yes!!! We do.😊
Another democratic utopian city.
Yes it is!
Read your Bible then your not a bumb but heirs to gods kingdom
