- Drugs Camping Loitering Homeless Encampments Los Angeles Skid Row lets walk thru areas of Los Angeles like China town which has new areas of homeless people they are popping up everywhere. And yes camping on sidewalks is ok, I almost got hit by a car as I left the sidewalks for the streets. The tents are pushed out now into the street as it seems they are claiming more real estate.
Skid Row, officially known as Central City East, is a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles. It contains one of the largest stable populations (approximately 9,200-15,000) of homeless people in the United States and has been known for its condensed homeless population since at least the 1930s1. Covering fifty city blocks immediately east of downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row is bordered by Third Street to the north, Seventh Street to the south, Alameda Street to the east, and Main Street to the west12.
The term “skid row” or “skid road” originated from a logging context. Loggers would transport logs to nearby rivers by sliding them down roads made from greased skids. Loggers who accompanied the load to the bottom of the road would wait there for transportation back up the hill to the logging camp. Over time, the term began to be used for places where people with no money and nothing to do gathered, becoming the generic term in English-speaking North America for a depressed street in a city1.
In terms of demographics, the racial makeup of Central City East includes approximately 39.7% Black/African American, 22.3% White, 16.3% Asian, and 15.1% Hispanic or Latino residents. The population is spread across various age groups, with a significant portion falling within the 25 to 54 age range. While there is currently no up-to-date population estimate due to limited data, it is estimated that the population increased by 13% after the COVID-19 pandemic1.
Skid Row remains a notable district in Los Angeles due to its long history of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and advocacy efforts related to homelessness1. If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, you can explore resources like the Skid Row People’s Market, which responds to structural racism and criminalization of poverty by providing access to healthy food and equitable jobs3, or the Skid Row Marketplace, which serves as a destination for fresh organic produce, art, culture, and civil rights resources4.
Thats hard to believe !
Shame all those rich celebrities, don't help, completely avoided skid road 😕 maybe the city should put dumpsters out there. 😢😢😢
Adam Schiff was campaigning on Hill Street last week 4 blocks west of skid row he never came here not even a drive by because it’s their policies letting drugs thru the border!!!!
Ya have to do tuff love u can't reward them for bad behavior by helping them and paying them let them hit there ROCK BOTTOM then maybe just maybe they will change their behavior and get there lives together I've been sober for 9 yrs now and this is how u must handle it!!!! Remember this knowledge is coming from a recovering addict and alcoholic heed my warning ⚠️
Alguém consegue, imaginar, como estará, daqui dez anos ?.
Yes I can and it’s horrifying!
What ?
Go back to where you came from!
Stop paying them. The city or the county won't do anything. If you want this to stop, then the GP is gonna have to go full Charles Bronson on them.
I agree !
I like Bronson 👍🏻💪🏻
digusting
😢mg... .. . There really hurting themselves inside of those tents because of fentanyl use or the Tranq!
Before camping on the sidewalk was allowed ...no one did it except on skid row .
its going to get worse if they let it , they should move them from the streets making LA a non tourist area because people will be scared
😮just make tents and camping illegal in the city limits and enforce the law.
Keep them moving everyday! They hate to keep moving! Don't let them settle down anywhere. Police should be allowed to force them to keep moving!
and also take the change out of your pocket or whatever it is all we can hear is jangling noise
Gavin is the reason it's like this. Until they are voted out nothing will change.
Yep
They do that because they can get away with doing it.
ABSOLUTELY!!
Thank goodness I don't have to look or deal with this! My state is clean and not full of do do, piss, and trash😂😂
Coming to a liberal town near you!
I’m sure there is an abandoned bldg that could be transformed for these people!
There are but I think that the homeless would find a way to let’s say not keep it livable. Fires ect I think a majority here are too far gone for affordable housing. I could be wrong but serious help is needed
Before your so hard on the homeless you should sleep in a shelter for a couple of days and see how you like it.
I've been homeless, I've slept in shelters many times. I still think they need discipline not compassion. I feel sorry for the people working their butts off to pay the bills and taxes much more than for the crybabies who just roll over.
It's not a very good example 😕
