Into The Night 2 Skid Row Homeless Encampments Los Angeles Downtown
Into The Night 2 Skid Row Homeless Encampments Los Angeles Downtown, walk with me after dark as people get settled in for the night as they look for shelter from the cold and the elements. everyone here has a story so we can't judge everyone's situation, but every life is upside down on skid row.
Skid Row, officially known as Central City East, is a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles. It contains one of the largest stable populations (approximately 9,200-15,000) of homeless people in the United States and has been known for its condensed homeless population since at least the 1930s1. Covering fifty city blocks immediately east of downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row is bordered by Third Street to the north, Seventh Street to the south, Alameda Street to the east, and Main Street to the west12.
The term “skid row” or “skid road” originated from a logging context. Loggers would transport logs to nearby rivers by sliding them down roads made from greased skids. Loggers who accompanied the load to the bottom of the road would wait there for transportation back up the hill to the logging camp. Over time, the term began to be used for places where people with no money and nothing to do gathered, becoming the generic term in English-speaking North America for a depressed street in a city1.
In terms of demographics, the racial makeup of Central City East includes approximately 39.7% Black/African American, 22.3% White, 16.3% Asian, and 15.1% Hispanic or Latino residents. The population is spread across various age groups, with a significant portion falling within the 25 to 54 age range. While there is currently no up-to-date population estimate due to limited data, it is estimated that the population increased by 13% after the COVID-19 pandemic1.
Skid Row remains a notable district in Los Angeles due to its long history of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and advocacy efforts related to homelessness1. If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, you can explore resources like the Skid Row People’s Market, which responds to structural racism and criminalization of poverty by providing access to healthy food and equitable jobs3, or the Skid Row Marketplace, which serves as a destination for fresh organic produce, art, culture, and civil rights resources4.

"How would I fix this?" SL, another great documentary on street people going about their lives, wandering around at night, even one segment showcasing a big-screen TV entertainment venue. Some people are night owls and they could put their skills to good use by opening up street-sidewalk businesses that cater to their income class and locale in Skid Row.

Thank You!!
🙏🙏
I’ve had nightmares of having to walk through this when I was young. 🙏😞🕯️🙏😞🕯️🙏😞🕯️🙏. I would refurbish & create rehabs, mental health facilities, educational services, & being placed in a safe living space, from the abandoned structures. Hire them to clean up the streets & do all upkeep on the roads & sidewalks. Provide protection for their communities.
Gotta say, my friend, you are one brave man, walking the darkened streets with all their nooks and crannies. Be safe out there ~~ I used to carry that red-pepper spray (dog spray), but I think it's illegal now in Cali.

Some streets are very special especially with so much dealing going on.
Only God has the solution but may be it will help with a new law that every bussiness will gave work to a homeless But most of all the Gpvernment needs to check the condition of every individual, and provide with mental health and Rehab
You can walk around and make a scary movie and don't have to pay no one..

This a very tough issue,because even if you have the resources to help alot of the homeless don't want the help because that means they have to be involvled with some sort of organized structure.we have to have real teams of people who can go out and really connect with these homeless and show them that we're not just blowing hot air up their ass.more and easier access to drug rehab.

There’s some serious issues with people here that can’t be solved with affordable housing so I think other people besides skid row will move into those buildings. I think mothers with kids will get in first. It the worst cases on skid row will not be in these buildings
We need to stop tolerating this crap.

1 Corinthians 15:4 “And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved
