They are a danger to themselves and to the rest of civilians. From what I saw a lot of them where high on hard core drugs.
Nyc is twice the size of LA and the Amount of homeless people and mentally ill you see on the streets is disproportionately greater in LA. It’s not even close. I’m actually so happy to be back and nyc and see that our city is dealing with this issue so much better. Even tho we have a terrible mayor. Thankfully it looks like the city is already looking beyond his term which ends next year.
When I was in LA I went to to a couple parks just to relax and seeing all the homeless people, all the tents, trash, etc just makes you uncomfortable and we ended up leaving. The only park where I didn’t see homeless was were they have the tar pits. And I guess it’s because they close the park in the evenings. Honestly I was thinking thank God we don’t have this in central park. Tourists must get such bad impression of LA after seeing all this.
Look, there are homeless people in most cities. In fact in nyc we have more homeless than in la but we put the majority of them in hotels and proper housing and then of course you will find some on the streets but whAt you guys have in LA cannot be found anywhere else. Not in nyc, not in Chicago, not in Miami, etc. Thank god we don’t allow tents. Once you get a tent you won’t be able to move it. It will stay there you like it or not. They need to build proper housing units and get rid of those tents. They look terrible.
You guys have a lot of work to do before 2028 if you really want to show the world how great LA really is.

Meltdown much?
Out of sight, out of mind. Got it.
I'm glad you're back home, feeling comfortable in your safe zone. Maybe you should seek help about your anxieties; I guess your issue isn't that there's homeless, your issue is that you just don't wanna see them. And if you're so passionate about the homeless situation, I'm glad you have solutions. And I guess tents only work in LA because of our beautiful weather. In fact, that's why some say we have more homeless, is because of our weather.

A Hilton Hotel attached to this strip mall. Pre-COVID-19, Chinese tourists flocked to the SGV. Bus tours took them to the casinos, to Vegas, to outlet malls... There was no reason for them to have to speak English while in the SGV, these businesses catering to the Chinese tourists, as well as to Chinese locals in the SGV.

It seems a lot of Chinese businesses keep their Christmas decorations up all year long.
