For over 20 years the official policy for Skid Row has been one of containment. Los Angeles needs a catalytic action from its political leadership and it's not getting it. People ask "what can I do?" Anything.

    • LOS ANGELES - Three hospitals acknowledge putting discharged homeless patients into taxicabs and sending them to the downtown skid row area, the Los Angeles Times reported.

      Representatives of Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles and Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center said they were helping patients because skid row offers them their best chance of getting services and shelter.

    • It would seem they could follow the example set by NYC, but that would make sense now wouldn't it. We know how the political leadership and common sense never see eye to eye.

      Arresting people for being homeless is just NOT an answer.
