There’s been an explosion of homeless addicts in Los Angeles, and it seems that much of the problem has been caused by Prop 47, which made drug possession/use just a minor infraction.
This change in law enforcement coupled with an aggressive push by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel has flooded southern California with cheap methamphetamine which thousands of homeless addicts are shooting up and smoking on the streets.
It also made shoplifting up to $950 a day a misdemeanor, guaranteeing vagrants and addicts can fund their idle lives of addiction with very little effort and no punishment.
Anyone who thinks this sh*t is not deliberate is an industrial strength moron.
