Tents of homeless people line the west side of Echo Park Lake on March 4.

What?
It isn’t a secret anymore.
Do they get a chocolate on their hotel pillows?
I work in Santa Ana which is about 40 miles south of Echo Park. It is the Orange County with the most homeless people. This population has been growing bigly in recent years. The numbers are quite large. Since about last summer the city has actually been cleaning out some of the worst areas. Then the city follows up after a few weeks and does again.
Good job City of Santa Ana.
round up all the Homeless and put them in the Coliseum, there is plenty of room, all mental health and medical service is close, all government is close so the politicians can check up daily..
Basic city services are being thrown out the window in favor of pursuing narratives that actually do more harm than good.
Cops used to arrest people for littering, jaywalking, running red lights, etc. Even truant kids were picked up. Now cops are essentially nothing more than street-level mall security guards.
Over the last year, the encampment has evolved into a commune-like society with a shared pantry, a garden, a veneer of self-policing and a tenuous grasp on basic sanitation.
