LOS ANGELES – It's no secret to people who walk or drive the streets of Los Angeles that homeless people — tens of thousands of them — are everywhere...
Pretty much, it is only an issue for some mayors who are in fear of losing their seats.
Their push to address the homeless situation is tied to LA's bid for the summer Olympics. Officials don't want to be under a negative light right now. There's probably somewhere around 5,000 homeless people living on Skid Row. This problem should have been tackled long ago, but some action a little late is better than no action.
Portland just did the same thing. It's an election year and the mayor's in fear of not getting re-elected.
I was recently up in Portland, Oregon and I couldn't believe the number of homeless that I saw all over the place downtown.
