LA is far from broke, but Skid Row makes LA look like it's on its last dollar.

I always find it odd how much more common homeless encampments are on the west coast right in the urban core. I mean, I know the climate is much more hospitable to living outside 365 days a year, but still. I'm used to seeing the odd bum here or there with a sleeping bag, or finding a few tents in the woods or tucked in beneath underpasses. Not in areas directly adjacent to a CBD.
