Evicted four months ago from their Highland Park apartment, Louis Morales and his 18-year-old stepson, Arthur Valenzuela, live half-hidden by brush along the nearby Arroyo Seco riverbed. Morales, 49, keeps a framed bible verse and a stuffed monkey in his tent. Water hauled by bike from a park heats up on the camp stove. Next door, their friend Johnny Salazar fixes bikes and shattered computer screens on the cheap for people who live in the neighborhood. A brother and sister Morales has known for years live up the river, and three couples stay down by the bridge. "Everybody here is from Highland Park,"

I accidentally drove into the mentioned area a couple months ago. Downtown LA in the jewelry district looks like Mexico City—but the homeless encampments look truly 3rd world. Worse than anything I ever saw in SF.

Mexican street vendors have taken over some sections of Los Angeles. The practice is illegal but the cops sit in their cars and observe and don't do anything. The neighborhoods where this is going on look like third world countries. The illegals don't have to be citizens, have a driver's license, buy auto insurance or obey our laws.
Mexico City has arrived.

You bring in 50M illegal aliens, and the homeless rate increases ... Who would’ve thunk it?

At least some have good tents. The media should be posting pictures of this every night on the news. You know they would if their silly chosen one wasn't pretending to play president.

The media will flood us with photos of the homeless camps as soon as a Republican regains the White House. Until then, nothing to see here, move along.

Impossible.
Homeless people simply do not exist when there is a Democrat President in office.

I think that the sudden rise in homelessness is due to the GOP Senate.
