The issue of homelessness is escalating in the Democrat-controlled city of Los Angeles.
Despite the left’s emphasis on income inequality, it raises the question of why affluent Hollywood celebrities are not using their wealth to assist these individuals by opening up their homes to them.
From the Los Angeles Times:
Homelessness continues to soar, jumping 9% in L.A. County, 10% in the city
Homelessness continued to rise dramatically, increasing by 9% in Los Angeles County and 10% in the city of Los Angeles last year, in a stark illustration of the challenges faced by officials trying to reduce the number of people living on the streets…
The count, conducted by thousands of volunteers during a three-day period in January, projected that 75,518 people were living in interim housing or a tent, car, van, RV, tent or makeshift shelter in Los Angeles County, compared with 69,144 the previous year…
Almost all the growth came from the Westside and Harbor areas of Los Angeles, with each seeing increases of just over 2,000 people, or about 45%.
Significant amounts of money, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, have been allocated to address this problem, yet it continues to worsen.
