    No Reservations on Skid Row Homeless Encampments Downtown Los Angeles, walk with me thru the heart of skid row where there are no reservations and everyone is welcome.
    *Skid Row**, located in **Downtown Los Angeles**, is officially known as **Central City East**. It encompasses approximately **50 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 west³. Here are some key points about Skid Row:
    **Homelessness 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**³. 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 slide logs down greased skids to transport them to nearby rivers. The loggers waiting at the bottom of the road gave rise to the term, which eventually came to represent areas where people with no money gathered, becoming a generic term for depressed streets in cities³.
    **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 individuals born in California, other states, and other countries³.
    *Population Increase**: In 2023, the population in the region was estimated to have increased by **13%* after the COVID-19 pandemic, though no exact population estimate was provided³.
    Despite its challenges, Skid Row is also home to initiatives like the **Skid Row People's Market**, which responds to structural racism and criminalization of poverty by providing access to healthy food and equitable jobs while uplifting the creative spirit². 🌆🌟

    Why hasn't the mayor and the governor called on FEMA for help? Looks like a disaster struck there.

      Yeah I’ve talked to cops that patrol skid row and some are back outside in 1-3 days after receiving help so it’s the drug addiction that’s preventing progress!

    On the street means
    you are beyond redemption because of drugs alcohol abuse mental health untreated. There is no cure for the trickle down of being the flotsam of society. Even if they could clean up kick the habit get skills they have no work disciple. Relapses from meth clinic rehab is greater than 75 % after program completes + two weeks on their own
