Elijah spoke with residents of a homeless encampment alongside Freeway 405.
Walking past piles of disease-ridden trash, Elijah described the "putrifying smell" of numerous rat carcasses crawling with insects. "It smells like death. Everywhere I walk it smells like death, and it sucks so bad, and I don't want to be here," said one homeless woman.
Peter Lynn, head of the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority, announced that he would leave at the end of the year, with the LAHSA having splashed out a total of more than $780 million to no avail.
The city’s homeless population jumped a further 12% from 2018 to 2019 but despite Lynn’s total failure, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti claimed he did an excellent job and oversaw “historic action.”
Lynn’s $242,000-a-year role appears to have had little success in addressing not just homelessness, but also the directly related problems of leprosy, typhoid fever and even bubonic plague.
Earlier this year, Dr. Drew Pinsky said the public health situation in America’s second largest city was in utter turmoil. “We have a complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now,” said Pinsky.
One wonders how badly Lynn would have had to perform for officials to consider his tenure a failure.
1.5 per cent of rats in L.A. now carry bubonic plague. If that figure hits 2 per cent, the medieval disease will start jumping to humans.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-12-02/peter-lynn-homeless-authority-lahsa-quitsLook at these idiot Libertarians who think that spending $1b is "failing" because it didn't solve the problem.
Clearly they don't relay the "point" of the spending... to perpetuate the problem, create a bureaucracy, etc.
NOT "solve the problem".....

If someone has a bad medical problem, they cannot afford the bills and being off work they loss their job. A lot of folks are screwed if they have to take time off work for any medical care. They don't have savings and cannot find somewhere cheap to live and once they are homeless I would imagine it would be hard to get a job that would pay enough to get the downpayment to pay first and last month rent.
And one that would pay enough to pay for their ongoing medical bills, or the debt incurred from paying medical bills.
What truly baffles me is why every time this basic criticism of the American health system is made, a bunch of Americans jump on the poster, yelling that's the way they want it, and they don't want to be looked after. It honestly does baffle me. How can the situation described above be better than a situation in which the state ensures people don't fall into this no money = no health trap? Really.
Even Wine Country (or is it Wino Country?) in CA has literally miles of homeless.

Proposal To Force LA’s Homeless Into Treatment Programs
All such enforcement really does is drive the problem into somebody else’s neighborhood. It doesn’t eliminate homelessness, drug addiction or mental health issues. Getting the homeless off the streets in your neighborhood is an obvious goal, but you still have to answer the question of where you’re going to send them.
