Keeping homeless on the street is not sustainable. Only a structure with a roof can be acceptable. It’s on the taxpayer’s dime, but neither taxpayers nor homeless can use the sidewalks because they are completely blocked by tents. Pedestrians must walk in the street, which obstructs traffic, creates extreme safety hazards, resulting in injury and death for countless homeless pedestrians.
A Penn State report says that substance abuse rate is 20% to 35%, but witnesses who live on the street say almost unanimously that nearly 100% of homeless suffer from substance abuse issues. It does not help homeless, and it does not help society when taxpayers provide billions of taxpayer dollars to support unhealthy, dangerous lifestyles of substance abuse on the street. Homeless who are currently on the street absolutely must be provided with the respect of an environment, care and law enforcement that reduces the incidence of substance abuse. Ultimately, rich, middle class and poor must follow the same laws. The sooner this happens in Los Angeles, the better off everyone will be.
