Inside the Most Densely Homeless Populated Place in America
YouTube ^ | April 25, 2025 | Nick Shirley

Posted on 04/26/2025 2:16:48 PM PDT by chrisinoc

In this video, I take you inside the most densely populated homeless area in America — Skid Row, Los Angeles. With over 4,400 unhoused people living within just 0.43 square miles, Skid Row is ground zero for the homelessness crisis in California and the United States. I walk the streets, document the harsh realities, and reveal what’s really happening behind the headlines.

Yet another fake study. I prefer the real-world data that I’ve personally witnessed.

🙄

Personally witnessed? Your anecdote was from another person who was staying at a hotel.

“Personally witnessed? Your anecdote was from another person who was staying at a hotel.”

Quite a bit more than just an anecdote. I’ve been following closely the studies by Steve Kirsch and others. I suggest you do the same to read some real science.

As should also know most medical studies are on the untrustworthy, non-reproducible to fake spectrum. They are influenced by the old maxim “he who pays the piper calls the tune”. You do know who’s paying the piper? That payer doesn’t care whether you live or die and has a bias toward you dying.

I’m also going to assumed you’re vaxxed and boosted. Good luck! You’ll need it.

Good for you, but finding someone who gives you information you already believe, isn’t research, especially when they aren’t even trained in the field.

The studies include people trained in the field; biologists, medical doctors, virologists, epidemiologists, statisticians, etc. Again you betray a profound ignorance.

I notice that you’re not a reader and know nothing about the circumstances and patterns in previous pandemics, all of which were absent in this one.

No. I get your point. You were scared for life emotionally because you saw skid row in 1959 LA. I get it.

I made a comparison to today. During that same late 50s era southern California became the envy of the country. That all started to end by the early seventies. The big party was getting crashed bad. Fast-forward to current day. The rest is history. I was a bit too harsh with that exchange. I apologize for that.

My point wasn't about me at all. Seventy years ago LA had a heartbreaking skid row, it remains today, and it always will: "The poor you will always have with you, but..." Matthew 26:11

Seeing the derelicts there, the broken people, and I had my heart broken for the first time—it has never left me and is still vivid in my memory

My point wasn't about me at all.

That's odd, you said I, me, my, repeatedly in a single sentence.

You cannot let it go. Now, despite already having admitted arguing inappropriately, nevertheless you aggressively attempt to put me on the defensive. But so you shall have the explanation you demand, I give you that satisfaction.

I said all that to detail the profundity of the education that God began in me that day (age five was not too young to begin), in leading up to my final statement referencing the permanency of poverty: "The faces have changed, but...."

I suggest eternal value awaits you in shifting your intense focus away from my transitory and insignificant post and onto Jesus' timeless message, which I quoted from Matthew 26 in abbreviated form above. See also Mark 14 and John 12.

They're your own words, not mine.

You said it was not about you, yet you said "I, me, my" repeatedly.

And stop playing the victim with all this feigned anger, then injecting God into this exchange. End the dramatics.

IIRC: LA BUILT A MULTI STORY HIGH RISE IN DOWNTOWN LA JUST FOR THE HOMELESS. Around $65 million.
