Yeah but things don’t work that way at least in L.A .

As we’ve seen the number of homeless on the streets going up and the prices of property going up too .

Nobody would argue that having more homeless on the street is a positive thing .

That's a market based decision by the way. So it seems like the market is working in your case.

Why do they need bathrooms on Skid Row or in Venice? Can't one simply hang out at Starbucks (incljding using the bathroom) since Starbucks considers everyone a customer?

I was also wondering the exact same thing. Instead of using our tax dollars to build shelters/outhouses, let's just give huge tax breaks and other entitlement incentives to future Starbuck's locations.

"Hey you, get off of my neighborhood bus stop. Don't you know there's a new Starbuck's down the street?"

Also how about needle exchanges and safe spaces to shoot up drugs ?

Starbucks can likely offer these services more effectively too .

The desert is ecologically fragile. They would do irreparable harm to the environment.

How about Racoon City?

This shelter is just a way for politicians to look like they are doing something. It is not designed to try to actually help the problem, it's just lipstick for the pig. There will be no noticeable difference in the amount of homeless people on the street in KTown, as this shelter will house less than 10% of the homeless people already in KTown. 9 homeless camping on a block instead of 10. That's if the homeless from the rest of the council district are not being sent there for services. If they are, that will cause more homelessness to concentrate in KTown than is already there They are right to not want this political show.

Yeah exactly . Also the homeless population in L.A has gone up massively by 75 percent in 6 years .

The crime rate among homeless is very high , which is a big reason people don’t want them near them or their families . Mental illness and drug abuse are high too .

The city needs to make it clear that the anti social and illegal behavior by the homeless won’t be tolerated . They are treated by kids gloves as if they are a protected class.
The attitude from the Mayor on down is that the homeless are all just down on their luck folks , this isn’t the reality .
