Death Walk on Homeless Encampments Skid Row Downtown Los Angeles, walk with me in the heart of skid row and see changes taking place here. New affordable Low Income housing is on the move as more homeless arrive in the city.
*Skid Row**, officially known as **Central City East**, is a neighborhood in **Downtown Los Angeles**. It covers **fifty city blocks* immediately east of downtown and is bordered by Third Street to the north, Seventh Street to the south, Alameda Street to the east, and Main Street to the west ¹. Here are some key points about Skid Row:
- *Homeless Population**: Skid Row contains one of the largest stable populations of homeless people in the United States, estimated to be between **9,200 and 15,000 individuals* ¹. Since at least the 1930s, it has been known for its **condensed homeless population**.
- **Historical Origins**: The term "skid row" or "skid road" originated from a logging context. Loggers would transport logs down roads made from greased skids to nearby rivers. Those who accompanied the logs to the bottom of the road would wait there for transportation back up the hill to the logging camp. Over time, the term came to be associated with places where people with no money gathered, becoming a generic term for a depressed street in a city ¹.
- *Demographics**: As of 2019, the racial demographics of Central City East (Skid Row) included approximately **39.7% Black/African American, 22.3% White, 16.3% Asian, and 15.1% Hispanic or Latino* residents. The population consists of individuals born in California, other states, and other countries ¹. The estimated population increased by *13%* after the COVID-19 pandemic, though exact figures remain limited ¹.
Skid Row's history of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and homelessness advocacy makes it one of the most notable districts in Los Angeles ¹. Despite its challenges, there are organizations like the *Skid Row People's Market**, **Skid Row Marketplace**, and the **Skid Row Development Corp* that provide services and support to the community ²³⁴.

🤩🤩🤩 Wow Wee! You got this! You're the master of AI drone technology and achieve cinematic vertigo as you switch downstairs to street level. Bravo to a rising-star filmmaker who exposes the tragedy of the hungry unhoused and the collapsing inner cities!
Thank You for the compliment!
Awesome recordings! I know this may sound bad on my part but I’m so happy and glad to live here on my own reservation!
Thank You no it’s not bad everyone works hard to get where they are.
👍👏That string instrument and weeping violin are so emotive and expressive of that deep welling inside that seeks a better tomorrow out of a nostalgic today full of regret. What a soundtrack, Mr. Artist! One day when we're all gone, your masterpiece recording of this era 2024 will be promoted just like the restored and remastered films from 1894. Then you change mood with the pedestrian traffic inside the Skid Row grid.
❣💯At the "Sidewalk Closed" sign, 425 Towne St., is the city renovating some old strip mall or doing a conversion into affordable housing for the unhoused? Regardless, nobody can walk on the sidewalks in Skid Row anyway, so that sign is not needed ~~ maybe something like "Construction Zone" is more fitting! Awesome documentary. Authentic. Thank you, WT.
Thank You yes affordable housing is going up now but these people are unfit for these buildings and would not stay off the streets!
@@walkingtourseurope8526 Hear that ~~ they are so cognitively impaired, they require assisted living and constant supervision!
I wondered who would be putting big money into that area, appreciate the knowledge, I can foresee the new housing looking like the surroundings in short order.@@walkingtourseurope8526
WHERE IS MY "FREE FOOD"??????????????
Is this the new Walking Tours Europe? Looks similar to that. ; - )
Yes name change Same me
No money for food clothes or rent but plenty for drugs drink & spray paints graffiti. All the trash they haul to the tents costs twice to remove. I have no pity leave them to this and you have no complaints.
It’s pretty obvious what’s happened in California! That spray paint is global warming!
the tower in LA is a disgrace

1:22, the building is vacant, 3 floors.. surrounded by homeless. Just don't make sense
