If they did house them would that in the end cause more people to get on there feed and end up moving out on their own accord with their own income or is there a chance that it would make more homeless flock to LA because housing is being given out. At what point is to much? To say that the far majority of homelessness is not people with mental disability's or drug addict's is being very dishonest. I can tell you I don't have the answer and I will 100% own that.

      Only a small percentage of homeless are drug addicts. Many homeless are actually suffering from mental illness and to say that all of those people needed to be displaced is inhumane. Taking someone away from where they have an established dwelling and dropping them into an unused hotel is not helping. There need to be trustworthy systems established so that people who need help, who want help, can get it. That help is followed through all the way. I've been houseless and had a full time job. Sometimes life is really hard and what someone needs is empathy.... something sorely lacking in humans today.

      Why don’t you take in a homeless person ?
      Or should only the people who care about homeless take in homeless people , and you don’t care about them do you?
      Let me explain it to you , the tax payers are paying for homeless people to be put in hotel rooms. They don’t want to pay for that and the homeless don’t want to be forced into hotel rooms just to be kicked out on the streets again in a few months. So the homeless and housed were protesting to let the homeless stay in the park, because in the park they have community and the non profits can actually help them easier. :) there you go, like your 5 yrs old.

      While there’s a small portion of homeless who aren’t a danger to our environment, the majority are. Until we decide that real kindness is mandating sick people to get clean/ regulate their psych meds in a secure facility (for longer than a 24hr hold), the homeless epidemic will only keep getting worse. All the people who go out and feed and care for the homeless like pets to make themselves feel like they’re helping, are a huge part of the problem. They only care about the concept of freedom of choice, that we should sit back and smile while people shoot up or shout to themselves all day because they can’t get the voices to stop. That is not kindness. These people need help, and are not mentally sound to seek it out or accept it willingly.

      It does seem so or atmost it is so. But additionally, on a case by case, some of "the homeless". have been failed by system, unfortunately same one that 'smiled' on others...due to whichever reason e.g being smart, lucky, from right background, having right support system, even sheer hard work etc etc.
      Having said that, I agree the system needs to function_ identify and work on resolving issues of homelessness...so that while some (in homeless situations) clearly have been neglected by it... it .doesn't negate/ absolve the negative effect this has on others in a community.

      Edit: I agree that they shouldn't be allowed to squat in a public park, but I also understand SOME, not all, of these people need professional help; they simply dont have the capacity to take care of themselves or the space they occupy. Couple that with unpredictable behavior and you have disaster waiting to happen.
      Give the mentally ill, addicts and whoever else is vulnerable in that respect the services they need through proper evaluation. The rest can either put more effort into integrating into society or take advantage of existing homeless services that would now be nowhere near as burdened.
      I've heard a few times in homeless interviews that they fear going into a shelter because of violence; with the mentally ill and hard addicts gone (for the most part) they wouldn't have much to worry about.

      @@seregill13 That is totally fair and understandable.. But on the same hand I feel that it really isn't that much any different than banning the straws or speech. As they are pointless and don't fix anything .. And the only major difference is this gives people the illusion that the government is actually taking action and doing something. And they really aren't.. But hey props to the government because the illusion seems to be working just as planned ..

    I don’t live in L.A, I’m in San Francisco, but I am curious how much this is costing taxpayers...just look at how many people are out there cleaning up - all the cops, utility workers, helicopters, etc.
    That cannot be cheap. 🐰🇺🇸🎸🎶✌️

      and as someone from SF you know how necessary it is... otherwise its infected needles all over the place because these crackheads are so drugged out their minds they dont have the decency to clean up after themselves for the sake of children.

      Do you know that homeless cost lots of money to the city : Free health care, free EBT, free weed, free cell phones, free food, camps have portables (who cleans and pays for it ? ) who picks up their thrash ?

    Can't help but wonder how this has affected the famed ANGELUS TEMPLE. No doubt
    now a social services agency to those living in tents. Down in beautiful Echo Park - they
    must have shot 10,000 tv shows movies at the incredible lake. But you know all of this,
    GiV - you're the one who told me/us! Dude maybe these need to be sold to news outlets -
    you've gotten outstanding as a roving reporter - it's time you're paid well and for your
    obvious talents/gifts. What a blessing to You Tube and Venice you are.

    Those can’t be all protesters. They just want to get that shot for social media, or are spectators.
