i am so disappointed. I was expecting to see robocop

[@LilyLinko]

Robocop is from Detroit, not LA

[@Exjful]

Ahahahah

[@mso008]

I see the same pattern happening in other major cities (Dublin, San Francisco, London...) where rents increase tremendously in a few years and homelessness increases. It's despicable. Politicians are doing a shitty job worldwide.

[@georgeR3Roadster]

neo-liberalism !!! the core problem is that economic system for the benefit of the elite !!! Pinochet in Chile started the system up there after killing the elected president Allende and then the elite stealing all the money they could get their fingers on !!! neo-liberalism = the reason why it all collapses !!!

Same with France, Paris. My grandparents took us every year. We no longer can walk parts and advisors tell us about 'no-go-zones" is sad, man. Used to worry about pickpocketing, now it's getting ~beaten up

@theklamfyr I went to Paris last month and one of my relatives was pick-pocketed, and on London me and 3 other relatives were frisked by fake cops, resulting in the theft of $500 from one of us.

[@lexpyth0n]

So are all of the businesses with tents on the sidewalks closed? How does one run a business with people camping on the sidewalk?

[@liamh5355]

i think most of the businesses involve selling janky narcotics to the already downward spiralling population so I wouldn't worry too much about business tarrifs & parking validation.

[@ShakespeareCafe]

The rental prices at beginning sum it. You'd have to make 50 or 60 grand NET to pay those prices. They aren't building housing for the poor or lower class in any big city, especially LA or SF. They do however include a token few 'affordable' units in any big project but they are minimum $1200 to $1500 for a studio and you still have to have a 40 or 50 k a year job to pay the affordable rate.

big thanks to the 9th circuit for causing this with their rulings on camping ordinances

[@johnoliver6372]

I was strung out on H for a while and sometimes had to go down to skid row to buy it. I was always scared as shit walking through. I can't tell you how many people I saw opening shooting up on the sidewalk, needles without caps on scattered throughout the sidewalk, people in wheelchairs openly smoking Crack, etc. Being a white guy they all knew what I was down there for. I'd walk down the street and hear "what you want? What you need? I got it right here". Most of them will take your money and threaten to beat you up if you tried to get it back.

[@excal29292]

This will go viral. I always hear about it in podcast but wow..just wow.

[@ArubaSailing]

In the rest of the world this is no big deal, lots more then this, lots. Sad non the less...

[@Hellblaue210]

Yeah 2-3k month a rent for 600 sf apartments while people live on the streets but we wont charge like a 50 dollar tax to all Americans to provide healthcare and support to these people who have mental problems or other issues which prevent them from being to sustain themselves. So sad

[@victorkendera3958]

The whole reason cities like this are in the situations they are in is because people like you think throwing money at problems fixes them. Most of these people are drug addicts and should be in jail/rehabilitation so they can sober up. Even then many will go right back to drugs because they like the lifestyle. Most of this could have been avoided if they allowed law enforcement to do their job, didn’t over tax, and didn’t over regulate which caused the housing crisis in the first place. Larger government usually creates more problems than they solve.That’s why we’re pushing space travel to the private sector, because government is expensive, inefficient, and slow. Nothing is perfect, but forcing action through government policies should always be a last resort.

[@Yakena1]

Maybe California could stop paying all these social benefits to illegals and help americans first!

[@solitariocamel]

I'm going to say something controversial, why don't we kill them?

[@stardust6773]

Is anybody in the city council doing anything to help this people or they just live off the missions charity

[@horrifyinggelatinousblob]

They would have to admit a problem first. The problem is that they tolerate it, like an illness or an infection, so it grows until it's simply unmanageable.

[@georgeR3Roadster]

the elite just do not care about it being so sad and misery, they just want all the $$$$$ they can get their fingers on and leave the rest without a possibility to live a happy life !! this is neo-liberalisme at its core, making biggest profits everywhere and crash the human values and societies ..... shame shame on USA !! they do not care even about their own people but make war everywhere because they "care" just about "democracy" in the world hahahahaha !!! ......

go to Mississippi where rent is 1/5 that and the houses are shacks held together with chicken wire, more people are on welfare, and the economy is worse. California has the 5th largest economy in the world, people are there because there is more of a chance of getting out of it and living well.

[@ffs6158]

People only come here now because the welfare is the most generous and illegals get free everything. More tax payers and businesses leave here every single day.
