    When I was in school in the early to mid ‘90’s DT LA was a ghost town. When I worked and lived in DT LA in the mid aughts it was starting to develop. Now it is a pretty happening place. But skid row and the homeless problem is massive. Anyone who claims they were in DT LA and didn’t see the homeless problem is either lying or never left the one place they went because the homeless are everywhere and around skid row does look like a 3rd world country.

    I recently stayed at the landmark Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and had a very pleasant time. I walked around day and night, and visited a lot of cool restaruants, cafes, and pubs.

    If ever in downtown LA, I recommend a visit to the Grand Central Market an emporium hosting hundreds of food vendors collectively bringing together the cuisines and cultures of Los Angeles - basically any kind of ethnic, specialty, or American-esque food you could imagine.
    Pretty sure it's the outbreak of typhus and TB that people are concerned about, and not the brown people. I mean, how shocking can it be to find brown people in LA? It's much more surprising that you can find them in Topeka, yet, still understandable.

    Cypress doesn’t know what he’s talking about. There are plenty of white homeless people on skid row. It’s not a race thing.

    I always find it amusing that leftists preach environmental stewardship, yet, the people who live in leftist areas litter and harm the environment with reckless abandon, until you wind-up with downtown areas that are literally bio-hazardous. It seems that the conservative ethos of respect for community values has a stronger message of discouraging litter, graffiti, and so forth.

    Up here in the great NW, our major cities' homeless populations are overwhelmingly white, because, WA is still 79.5% white, and Oregon is 85.1% white (Idaho is 91.3% white).

    Interesting how Crypiss associates garbage and filth with brown people. The op doesn't mention anything about race.

    When you don’t want to discuss the topic just call others racist.

    It's the same all over, big difference is people, and volume. The liberal ideas are trying to reduce them though. The biggest offender for places is tourists, especially foreign ones. That is the same for rural areas as well. What amuses me is the idea that all city dwellers are liberals. A bunch of them would probably be ranked under, too busy to give a shit, and would hardly fit under the liberal narratives.

    Well, you can't even get a moderately center-left candidate elected to council in Seattle. I keep listening to all of these hopeful activists, thinking they can get sane candidates elected because the public is starting to get annoyed.

    I am almost at the point where I question the truth in the statement that "the liberal ideas are trying to reduce them, though."

    Between the two of us, you are the only one known for lying, slandering, and girlish gossiping.

    Here is another case of you fabricating something about me. My post said nothing, nada, zilsh about me not seeing homeless. I see plenty of homeless in downtown LA, downtown Oakland, and downtown Saramento.

    The OP is a known racist, and I have zero doubt that the premise of his thread is about "third world" brown people trashing LA

    What do you expect, when a good portion of the country, and all these money interest, are road blocks. No one is handling the homeless problems very well, and that's the biggest problem. I wish we'd go the route Salt Lake City did.

    I said I know what happened on this board a long then ago. Stating that isn’t slander.

    Yes vokstrock is a racist. Posting about the homeless problem in LA is also accurate. Near skid row is third world country equivalent
