Downtown Los Angeles

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

Sorry, that doesn't cut it. You clearly associate garbage and filth with brown people.

He's a flaming troll, that out right lies on purpose, and often. Even if he posts something more sincere, he tends to misrepresent it. He race baits, and tries for an apologist routine for racism, because this person did that, etc. Is he a real racist. Who knows? It doesn't really matter, because Volsrock is still on the bottom, screwing around if he isn't.

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.

is it just "DT" or does it spread out? how about on any roadways entering LA?

damn shame either way

There’s a trash and rodent nightmare in downtown L.A., with plenty of blame to go around

A flaming troll? Hmmm, that’s a new one.

Just stick to calling others racist JD.

I’m not in LA on a regular basis but the heavy concentration of homeless is in the skid row area of downtown. Politics aside it’s heart wrenching to see. But other areas of LA aren’t immune from homeless issues either.

I should add cities like Santa Monica have good sized homeless populations as well. You’ll find a number of homeless living on the beach there. So it’s definitely not isolated to DT LA only.

Has become 3rd World...Thanks Libs!

What big city does not have an area like this?

Just proves that there's nowhere in the world that's trash-free.

Of course not, but what's going on out west is an epidemic.

The garbage in LA and other cities is horrible.
How is it liberals fault.

They allow a permissive atmosphere by not enforcing vagrancy, drug possession, disorderly conduct, etc. laws. But you knew that. We all do.

When Giuliani took office as Mayor of New York City, he appointed a new police commissioner, William Bratton, who applied the broken windows theory of urban decay, which holds that minor disorders and violations create a permissive atmosphere that leads to further and more serious crimes that can threaten the safety of a city; to prevent major crime, the theory holds, the police should enforce seemingly minor "quality-of-life" laws such as those outlawing public drinking, littering, and jay-walking.[3] Within several years, Giuliani was widely credited for making major improvements in the city's quality of life and lowering the rate of violent crimes

Exactly. The only good thing about this is the rat infestation. Rats can carry bubonic plague and spread it rapidly. There might be hope yet......

I just shake my head and can't see how they could have allowed this to go on for so long already.

That’s the million dollar question. And with the caveat that we’ll never eliminate homelessness because we can’t prevent mental illness, drug abuse or people just down on their luck but skid row and homelessness has been a huge problem in LA for a long time. They’ve made “attempts” to address it but it’s only getting worse. Without getting into the weeds a change in strategy could be called for
