How can you live in LA?

It's deteriorating right in front of your eyes and Libs are okay with it

BTW.  I noticed the homeless are back in LA.  At least through Koreatown, that I have to drive through every 3 days, the trash is again everywhere in the streets, and the tents are back up.  Guess the city got tired of housing them, or the police got tired of enforcement.

They swept in and moved out the homeless encampment here in Long Beach at the 405 and Lakewood Blvd. and today Caltrans was cutting all the trees down. 

So the homeless simply moved a couple blocks to Bellflower and Willow.  There's no solution and it's just going to get worse once the evictions start in earnest.

Or many of the citizens are distracted by something else

They have been trying that in LA.  They don't get the message and demand more free shit.

Los Angeles law restricting homeless encampments takes effect

A sweeping ordinance that bans sleeping and homeless encampments in certain parts of Los Angeles went into effect Friday, the latest strategy employed by officials in an effort to get a handle on the number of unhoused people in the region. 

The measure, which modifies the city's anti-camping law, was approved by the City Council in July. It bans the storing of property and obstructing the public right-of-way, among other rules. 

It will also prohibit sleeping and camping in certain areas within 500 feet of property deemed as "sensitive use," which includes schools, day care facilities, public parks and libraries, once the council passes a resolution naming an area for enforcement, posting signage and giving notice. 

Those areas also include up to 500 feet of a designated overpass, underpass, the subway and 1,000 feet of a facility that opened after Jan. 1, 2018 that provides shelter, safe sleeping, safe parking or navigation centers for homeless persons.

In a joint statement, Mayor Eric Garcetti and council President Nury Martinez said enforcement outside obstructions to the Americans with Disability Act and other accessibility obstructions won't begin until outreach to the homeless has occurred, to include connecting them with services and housing. 

"We don't need to choose between keeping our public spaces safe and clean, and connecting Angelenos experiencing homelessness with the services and housing they need," they said. "We can and will do both, as we respond to this crisis in a way that is compassionate and responsive to the urgent needs in our communities."

Opponents argue the ordinance essentially criminalizes homelessness. Supporters say it will help get the homeless vital services while combating quality of life issues that have angered residents and businesses owners in some communities.
