Re: Los Angeles: Why tens of thousands of people sleep rough
Tourists to Los Angeles are not encouraged to go to places like South Central, Compton or Watts. Also the Downtown area at night. They are full of gangs, drug dealers and gun violence. The homeless are the most harmless sector of those communities and also the most vulnerable. The glamour parts of LA get the press but a lot of it is a huge, filthy, violent hole. LA proper itself is only a small city. But greater LA has around 16 million people and most of them are struggling. Seattle has a lot of homeless also as does San Francisco. California is by no means all rich. I thought Sydney was bad but after living in California for a short time I felt pretty happy to be back home again. I love the US for many reasons but it's a more dog eat dog society than here or the UK.Re: Los Angeles: Why tens of thousands of people sleep rough
