FrontPage- The homeless are everywhere in the City of Angels. The retail strip of any neighborhood, no matter how glitzy, will host at least one wandering schizophrenic cursing random pedestrians and the sky. Colorful tent cities grow in the shade of blighted overpasses like poisonous mushrooms. There are homeless encampments on the lawn at City Hall across from the LAPD HQ. Near Venice Beach, the smell of ordure can be overpowering, and last year the befouling of public streets led to a Hepatitis A outbreak. The hard rain that’s falling isn’t coming from the cloudless sky: it’s streets being power washed with bleach.
Walk down a street in the trendier parts of Los Angeles and you’re more likely to spot marijuana dispensaries than churches. The ubiquitous green cross is everywhere. Its faithful believe in only one higher power that they can’t smoke. So as the homeless problem grew, they turned to government.
This can’t be a new development. Where were these people (and MSM coverage of them) when Obama was President.
Rome: Stop me if you’ve heard this before
I think this just about takes care of LA’s Mayor’s presidential aspirations.
It’s funny, but try as I might I just can’t work up the tiniest bit of sympathy for the people of communistfornia. You get the government you vote for.
Most of there homeless are from different states . I was listening to NPR interviewing them and not a single one they talked to was from California. They were from southern states. It reminds me of when I was young and living in Florida. Me and my brother would go to a hiring hall for odd jobs. On one job, We met some black guys who where also from New York. They hating living in Florida because unlike New York they had to work to support themselves. They went to Florida for the weather and where upset to find Florida wasn’t going to give them a few ride.
You get less of what you tax and more of what you subsidize.
Hard to understand why the Dems can’t get that straight.
Obama lies for 9 years.
LA looks pretty good from Guam, let’s keep it that way yah hear!
Venezuela is just a few minutes down the road now…
Will LA out-feculence SF? Will Gomorrah beat Sodom in sodomy? Is it raining frogs?
