Winds Drugs at the Homeless Encampments Skid Row Los Angeles, walking thru skid row is like stepping onto another world right next to civilization.
*Skid Row**, located in **Downtown Los Angeles**, is officially known as **Central City East**. It spans approximately **50 city blocks* and lies immediately east of downtown Los Angeles. Here are some key points about Skid Row:
1. **Homelessness Population**: Skid Row contains one of the largest stable populations of homeless people in the United States, estimated to be between **9,200 and 15,000 individuals**¹. Its history of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and homelessness advocacy has made it a notable district in Los Angeles.
2. **Geographical Boundaries**: Skid Row is bordered by:
- **North**: Third Street
- **South**: Seventh Street
- **East**: Alameda Street
- **West**: Main Street¹⁵⁷.
3. **Etymology**: The term "skid row" originated from a logging context. Loggers would transport logs down roads made from greased skids to nearby rivers. At the bottom of these roads, loggers would wait for transportation back up the hill to the logging camp. Over time, the term came to represent places where people with no money gathered, becoming a generic term for depressed streets in cities¹.

- After the COVID-19 pandemic, the population was estimated to have increased by **13%**, though no exact figure was provided.
Skid Row remains a complex and multifaceted neighborhood, with ongoing efforts to address homelessness, public safety, and wellness²³⁴.

Not all of them but a majority yes
Its just being primitive. Enjoying what you can, eating what you can get, spending time with people you enjoy being with. If society really wanted to see people advance then to look like this all at once? It would.
wearing coats in cali ? its been colder than normal they dubble down on the spraying all the time geo engineering
Quit bitchin about the quality jeezuz, its a cloudy day in so cal who cares cant always be sunny. Point is Skid Row has always been around, even when the trains ran the streets in the 30s and 40s shipping in fish in from the harbor and back out again. Thats why so many of those buildings have 'drive in' drive out' access, the train cars went right into the facility and then back out after being unloaded and headed back to the harbor. If you lifted up the pavement on most of these streets the train tracks would be right under. I lived in east LA in the 90s and 'visited' skid row often and it DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE to what it is now - POPULATION OVERLOAD and much more spread out - Skid Row seems like its become its own city now. I feel for many of these people but Calif has got to stop giving away the free benefits to curb this, especially the folks from out of state, make them prove some kind of existence in Calif prior to just handing them free money. And then it goes right back to the drug dealers. The dealers run the streets, if you dont comply, they burn your tent.

Yep and the city allows tents camping so no rent due means more drug money
I’m sure there are empty wharehouses to house them. Public sidewalks are not their property to claim. Choice- jail or where house

I think because of the drugs that the warehouses would burn down it’s just not safe some people would destroy the interiors but with proper security it might work. The high rises they are building now around skid row are not for these people it’s for others that will come in.
A 🌍 of 💩. 😢.
It’s seems like the only work skills they have is their hand out for free stuff. They gave up dignity for the high.

They're not all drug addicts or alcoholics.
This what the the democrat politicians would like to see the whole country look like. They are starting off in the democrat run cities, and they hope one day to have the whole country on a central bank digital currency and everyone have a food stamp card and government check, as long as you agree with them and keep your social credit score up by thinking exactly they way they do.
