The real irony is that if any homeless person tried to camp out on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or any of the surrounding area, they would be carted away without hesitation. Celebrities love to virtue signal, but they also don't tolerate their 'nice' neighborhoods being trespassed. It's a fascinating disconnect. Most celebrities hate border walls, signal their sympathy for the homeless, fight to save the rain forest or combat global warming; yet when the chips are down, they retreat back to their giant mansions with a huge carbon footprints in a neighborhood with 24/7 police protection, gates and guards that enforce vagrancy laws.

My biggest dream growing up was being able to skate along Venice beach and go to LA. I'd spend so much time depressed and sad because I could see it all on youtube and TV but I could never get there. Finally last year before my 23rd birthday I decided to book a trip to LA/Vegas and then finally Texas, all because I wanted to try some BBQ brisket I had seen on a food documentary. Shout out to Franklin BBQ! 3 days in LA was the worse trip I've ever been on. I swear to god I didn't speak to a single person except a homeless guy at Venice beach. No one gave a shit about you, food was so expensive. Close to Venice beach was this cafe, ordered a avocado sandwich not seeing the price and it come to 20 bucks. I didn't feel safe when the sun went down. Was hands down awful, maybe it was because I'm by myself, but my long childhood dream for years, crushed just like that. Vegas was incredible. Gambled maybe 20 bucks lol, but downtown was so fun with the music. Met some incredible people. But Texas, I went there with no expectations. just to try some bbq and stay for a few days. But I met the best people who are now my best friends today, had the best time of my life and had some incredible bbq. Honestly, the best place I've ever been too in my entire life. Austin and north of Dallas, a little city called Plano. Great memories. The first bar I visited in Texas, was a guy with a cowboy hat and called me out on having a nice watch. 5 Minutes later he's buying me a drink and inviting me to go shooting with him. I really hope Texas never changes. The rich who live in LA doesn't deserve the heart warming state of Texas. And I'm from the suburbs of London England.

It has grown exponentially the past few years too, it’s definitely not normal as you can see from this video. I would understand if it was 2008 at the peak of the housing crisis but not anymore. I do think the mayors need to do a better job controlling the population though. I read as well that there was an initiative to provide gov housing at some point but not sure how that turned out. Besides, if some of these people are mentally ill, it’s unlikely they would take that out anyway.

I don’t really see homeless in a warm climate as that much of a problem. They are there because that is what they want and I don’t think it’s some terrible existence like most people think. They literally have no bills no problems and the only thing they have to spend money on is drugs. Would they really be that much happier spending their entire day at work to live in a shitty tiny place that is barely better than a tent? They don’t get a job because they are happier without one. Until working all day for minimum wage is way better than just living outside in nice weather with no responsibilities then homeless rates won’t go down.

California has been on this trajectory since the '70s. It was the state that everyone wanted to move to, and they did. Cali doesn't have that much buildable land as everyone thinks considering its size. Its geography and shape make it very difficult. So eventually, it couldn't keep up with the demand and everything started collapsing. Rent increased, property values soared, wealthy foreigners started buying up property further exasperating the problem. Meanwhile, politicians like Nancy Pelosi and her husband made their fortunes off of real estate so they have a conflict of interest. I really hope Shahid Buttar unseats her this year. Her, the corporate Democrats and Republicans have no intention of helping the people.

Nonsense. The main reason for the lack of housing is bad zoning laws, not geography. 75 % of the residential land is zoned for single family housing units. This lack of density is the main driver of the homelessness in the region.

One thing that creeped me out was seeing a homeless crouch right next to a vendor in skid row. It felt odd to see a city that didn’t care for its downtown. The smell of smoke on Venice beach and the people sleeping made it an uncomfortable experience. Only places that were good to see were places like Catalina island, Universal Studios, Malibu, basically places that had their shit together and didn’t allow for any kind of homeless to scare away people. But even then you still saw homeless traveling to and from these places, be it people sleeping in their car, a tent, people roaming around, or them face planted on the floor.
