Talk about minimizing the population.

“The 2019 count found 58,936 homeless people living in Los Angeles County and 36,300 living in the city of Los Angeles.”

And it’ll be a golden opportunity for our journalists to further besmirch their reputation (currently down so low we need scientific notation to approach an adequate description).

They’ll ignore it when they can, but still offer horrid stories of how some drug addled unfortunate is suffering needlessly because Trump.

Count on our media doing the worst they can. Because that’s the entire spectra of their limited abilities.

Can't believe the homeless and gay communites (and even the poor techies living in communal housing/dorms) in SF haven't already been decimated.

Is it that Leftie journos who have refused to cover these stories?

China solves the homeless problem for democratically run states.

If the healthy bums are smart they will leave town.

Social distancing is unworkable and was from the day ‘sanctuary’ was announced for these areas.

No one challenges the immorality of half-a&^ed Good Samaritan policies and politically motivated exploitation of helpless and vulnerable people while ignoring responsibility for ALL citizens, regardless of where or how they live.

“Talk about minimizing the population.”

I was about to comment on that. Wonder if that counts the Homeless RV people park on the streets too.

The LA mayor has been hoping this would happen, as it will fix his homeless problem.

Now he just has to dispose of the bodies.

Sadly, the core intractable homeless problem consists of mental health and substance abuse cases. The squalor and grifting of homeless encampments are the result.

Fortunately I’ve been practicing my “social distancing” techniques with street bums for decades now.

No, not using someone else’s property.

They are already too good at volunteering others to maintain their cause for them.

They need to volunteer their OWN property, homes, and money.
