      They are also under freeway overpasses and many incidents where the flames are going up on either side of freeway (like 110S). I noticed 'Bombay Beach'....I have always thought that a lot of the abandoned housing (if abandoned still) around Salton Sea could be made good for unhoused butI assume that is not preferred 😉

      @@LG-cq4dy The problem is that most homeless refuse housing even if you build it, because that means rules and no drugs. They dont want to be told what to do.

      @@bombaybeach208 Yes agree so I suppose the city needs to get more heavy regardless? In regards to other people complaints rents everywhere in 'western world' is expensive I live near USC and drive daily past vintage one storey warehouses on Broadway, Hill, etc and can see so much potential for housing and to make LA downtown a vibrant living city but no one seems to be building and so much potential and 'adaptive reuse' could be done here. It is so frustrating when you see this and then all the tents & trash lining the sidewalk. Worst thing is the commute just gets worse because you have to stop and get around the melee especially when someone busts a fire hydrant and are doing the daily wash. Quite a sight, pity they can't use them when there is a fire! Thanks for letting me vent!

    When I was homeless (not a drug user BTW) - TWICE in completely different places, someone passing my tent tossed a full book of LIT matches at it. And reporting it was pointless since the fire was put out quickly so no firetrucks were called and the cops took a report but that was it. It's not just the homeless who are a danger

      There are too many problems with that comments, first off is the rent, second, is we are building the apartments but that only adds to the population density. Then we need more roads but can't because it's America we are too poor infrastructure wise, no one wants to ride public transportation because it's too dangerous as it is. LA needs to spread out!
