On Los Angeles streets, tents aren’t just signs of homelessness — they’re where gangs openly deal drugs and collecting rent.
Whether its RV rows choking Compton Boulevard, Skid Row’s packed tent maze or the once-quiet pockets of the Westside, encampments have morphed into open-air drug markets.
This isn’t chaos — it’s control. Gangs blend into the population, hiding in plain sight, running street commerce behind tarps and inside RVs while City Hall looks the other way.
Nowhere is it clearer than Compton Boulevard, where more than 100 RVs sit bumper-to-bumper, windows blacked out. Outreach workers and residents say many are controlled by street crews tied to long-established Compton gangs — used to stash drugs, cook meth and sell straight onto the street.
People living inside those RVs don’t just park there, they pay rent.
“Depending on the area, you’ll see taxing,” former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
“Homeless people being pressured to hold drugs or sell for them, and they’re always owing.”
Debt, he said, becomes control.
Villanueva, who is running again for sheriff, said enforcing drug laws and dismantling gang activity in places like Compton was a priority during his tenure, and would be again.

Once they start charging them property tax are they no longer considered homeless?
These are the same people who stop paying rent to an actual landlord and complain about landlords being “greedy” ™
Kill them. What is taking so long?
This is what Newscum has in store for the whole country .” Vote for Squaller in 2028”
Oh...
Anyway, I’m having dark roast coffee
I think they should put a huge meth lab out in the CA desert and air drop humanitarian rations and drug paraphernalia into the area. Sort of like Burning Man only all year round. Then arrest and relocate all homeless and drug addicts to the new resort. Of course they will kill each other and die from pestilence and overdoses, but, then . . . who cares?
Karen Bass and Newscum see drug and human traffickers as allies against the common enemy of President Donald Trump.
Karen Bass and Newscum won't charge property tax to these friends of theirs just the same as don't worry about gun control or building ordnances.
Agree.
Singapore looks at what California has to offer and says, yeah, that’s not for us.
My aunt was born and raised in Compton, a college town that First Lady Barbara Bush, a former resident, described as “lovely.”
“Homeless people being pressured to hold drugs or sell for them, and they’re always owing.”
WINK
More of same on horizon as the wholly incompetent Karen Bass is re-elected as mayor of Los Angeles.
Meanwhile...”A court-ordered audit found that officials could not track approximately $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion in homelessness funding managed by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) from 2020 to 2024.”
Do they not have police there or are the police related to the gang bangers?
Time to reincorporate LA into the United States, 1865 style?
either that or rent some of the unused gulags in siberia and transport all criminals to those places to serve their sentences there ...
most likely the police have been ordered not to make any arrests, and/or the perps are just immediately released with no cash bail ...
Third world conditions metastasizeling in America. This is what happens when we turn our back on God. We go off the rails.
