Where Are All the Affordable Housing Solutions?

摘要

You can't work toward a solution if you haven't acknowledged there's a problem. Los Angeles reportedly has 10,000 to 12,000 homeless living in and around its downtown Skid Row district. Until recently, one of the ways the city dealt with this problem was by arresting homeless sleeping on the sidewalks. City officials were empowered to do so by a 1968 law prohibiting sleeping or lying in public spaces. However, since last month, this type of arrest will no longer be an option.
