Too bad it was written in LA Times bullshit prose...

I think they are trying to outdo WaPo for too much fluff.

The homeless on the streets of LA won't even wipe their asses with the Times....

Thats LA for ya. The homeless wear Prada.

That's not the LA I know. Have you been to any of the major areas that attract the homeless? There is a serious homeless problem that attracts others from out of the area and many from the local community. Most California state hospitals were shut down in the 70's and 80's so fewer places are available to house and care for mental cases. Just saying.

Visited Portlandia about ten years ago (caught a city-wide music festival by accident too) and was astounded by the volume and brazenness of the "homeless" people there (who drive nicer cars than I do).

Now, it seems to be a booming industry. Nearly every intersection here in CT is adorned with one or more people looking for handouts.

My latest business scheme is to make quality beggar signs for these people. Completely weather-proof, but looking like used scraps of cardboard, lettered via sharpie, by trained fourth-graders, for an authentic look and feel. For slightly more, I'll professionally apply Taco Bell sauce in strategic locations to really put it over the top (ask for the premium package!).
