L.A.'s skid row is by far the worst I have ever seen. We are talking miles and miles and miles of tents, human feces, urine, used needles, and trash every where. The stench is horrible. Even the priest who runs the L.A. Mission (the largest homeless shelter in the western hemisphere) scrapped his leg on something and got an nfection soba they had to cut his leg off.
How is San Diego?
Any worse? Any Better?
Or do most of them live outside the City Limits?
It got a bit bad here as well because of that idiot judge in Idaho who made it illegal to move the homeless and prevent encampments unless you had free shelter to offer them first. Under our former Republican mayor he spent a lot on building shelter space and forcing homeless to either use it or keep moving along. Leftists hated him for that but it worked and the homeless population actually went down by double digits each year he was mayor.
Then covid hit, the CDC gave its horrible let people build encampments every where order, and encampments just exploded. Leftists thought this was a humanitarian victory and celebrated. Then when crime, public drug use, exploded and both tourists and locals started complaining now Dems are back tracking and timidly trying to stand up to the left wing extremists who wanted it to just be a free for all.
