This is dope af. This is what being a human being looks like, folks. These are people just like us; some were dealt a bad hand in life, while others literally had no choice. Fellow feeling was showed here, and for a moment, gave these folks a reminder they are not forgotten, which is the greatest gift for them. (So many have shared w me on skid row)
Skid row literally looks like it's a part of a 3rd world country, let alone one of the richest cities in the world. I've watched many documentaries on the homelessness crisis in L.A. I hope that one day L.A can provide it's citizens with access to affordable housing.
Bruh; let me tell you, all those abandoned buildings in historic Downtown LA, when I was w/ this firm in the early 2000’s, we proposed we turn a section near skid row into housing for homeless. We mapped out location, requirements for stay, mental treatment facilities, etc., outline budget, funding, and the mutual benefits. It was my first encounter w political agendas.
City turned it down immediately. Y? B/c they were going to turn such buildings into lofts and USC housing....not immediately, but it happened like 8 yrs after our proposal. The results? The homeless kept being pushed further and further into square blocks, literally on top of each other. Some were pushed in to notorious gang territories, which made matters worst. USC General Hospital were dumping patients w mental disorders on skid row, worsening conditions. The few facilities that were trying to help became so overwhelmed w not just homeless, but ppl w/ severe disorders, that many stop having open door policies due to safety.
Skid Row is a mess, and a lot of them have been taken advantage of b/c there is literally no place for them. My frat used to go there for community service, but stopped b/c it became too dangerous.
You’re right. https://www.miamiherald.com/living/food-drink/article216082150.htmlForgot where I saw it, but Robert Burns and a group of students hand out food to the homeless in Overtown.
Now that's what's up....

Also let’s remember DJax and his work in the area. Love that Cane players reaching out.
Imagine if everybody cared for each other this world would be a magical place to live. Unfortunately Greed, Religion, and Drugs are what is tearing this world apart.
