Not shocking. Skid row.
You will notice, if you walk those streets is, a very large percentage of those people are mentally ill. That is true everywhere there are homeless, thy do not want to go into shelters.

Now, now, now. You’re supposed to stay on the media narrative here, which is that it’s simply TOO EXPENSIVE for a vast number of people to afford housing, so they simply pitch their tent and live on the sidewalk, just like you or I would do the moment things got bad.
We’re not supposed to talk about the VAST MAJORITY of these people being drug addicts, mentally sick people, and ex cons.
We’re not supposed to ask questions as to why they choose to stay in a place as unaffordable as downtown LA, waiting for that Google job that pays $200k per year, so they can finally afford a decent place to live.
We’re not supposed to ask why they don’t move in with friends or relatives.
We’re not supposed to ask why these people don’t access the free housing available to them, along with boatloads of other free services.
Nope, we must blame it on something that is TOTALLY UNRELATED, which is housing prices, because that is the fault of REPUBLICAN landlords.
