Skid Row Walk Shows Changes

The changes on skid row are so encouraging, for people on both sides of the issue. Obviously downtowners like a cleaner and perceivably safer city to live in, but I hope this means more homeless people are seeking and finding refuge. It makes me happy that such massive crisis in LA (other than traffic congestion) is improving. Maybe the homeless population is just decentralizing, but I’m being optimistic. Bravo to the LAPD, city officials and all concerned individuals how have helped to make this happen!

This is nothing new. In fact, only a blind person would fail to see what is taking place. Downtown has gentirified with young, wealthy, upscale professionals and the city is accomodating their needs by prmoting business, business and more business. It’s all about the money and feeding our depraved narsistic culture with more ignorance. You don’t see as many homeless because they are frequently harassed by the LAPD. The police works for the Los Angeles City Council and the Central City East Association, and all parties seek to convert skid row in to upscale housing and entertainment to suit the demands of the snobs. As for the homeless, people haven’t begun to address the problem, becuase the homeless are NOT the problem it’s the ATTITUDE towards them that is the problem. I find no evidence of leadership, compassion or justice in this entire picture. What people want is the for the homeless to go away, to die, to be incarcerated or commit suicide. Sadly, the community of downtown sadists see their jobs and attitudes as being just and noble. Seriously, I’m outraged over the treatment of the most fragile and helpless beings in our society. Shame on you!
