I was last there about a year ago - not long before the pandemic. I didn’t see anything resembling this, just the normal LA/big city messiness.
They note that a lot of this has ramped up during the pandemic - related to homelessness I guess? I noticed several of the sites pictured had tents or makeshift shelter.

I work out there, and aside from skid row, you see the occasional tent city, even in the suburbs. Police do clean them up. Saw one getting cleaned out by CHP and Caltrans in San Diego yesterday

When they try to kick them out sjws make a big stink. Police can't keep up with the encampments, and moving the problem around doesn't solve it, they just pop up somewhere else. They bring crime, vermin and squalor where they go. Someone had to get murdered at one tent camp in my city before they came in and cleaned it out. They were all offered assistance and a bed in shelters and only a couple took it. They moved to an area even closer to residences and businesses.
I travel all around the county every day for my work. With the exception of independent cities like Burbank, Beverly Hills, Culver City, etc, the homeless and trash are EVERYWHERE. I blame Eric Garcetti and the dems.
Even if the city provided a large dumpster or two at every large encampment area, it wouldn't fix the issue. The homeless would still dump all their trash wherever. They bring nothing but drugs, disease, and filth wherever they go/are. Just driving down the 110 freeway last September I remember almost every bridge that went over the freeway was lined with wall to wall tents. It is utterly disgusting what the city has become. Lived there for the first half of my life and am sad to see the shape it's in now, with no hope for the future under democrat rule.
This is unbelievable. I would make it my mission in life to load up the garbage and dump at the steps of city hall.
There is NO excuse that is acceptable for that nightmare. What a bunch of slobs.
Humans are garbage. We're a pretty sh-i-tty species.
There are humans all over the country, no world that would not tolerate this disgusting mess.
This takes a special type of human and apparently they are the majority here. ICK.

So I'm assuming that wherever your front yard is, it is piled high with toxic, disease-laden, vermin-infested refuse? You can speak for yourself, because when I look out my window, I see nothing like that. Some people have enough pride to practice a bit of hygiene; that you evidently don't, does not give you cause or right to project your deplorable condition onto everyone else.
Broken window syndrome. This battle or issue was lost before the virus. This is why the small stuff matters including enforcement of anti littering and dumping laws. That's not all homeless people as noted many are avoiding their responsibility of paying for their bulk trash disposal ie sofas, furniture, tires etc.
But what puzzles me if one can afford a pick up truck to take and dump a used sofa you mean to tell me they couldn't pay a bulk trash disposal fee?
