On any given night in Los Angeles County, 47,000 people live in utter squalor, many of them sleeping on sidewalks and park benches, in cars or under bridges, not only on Skid Row but also in suburban neighborhoods. Many homeless individuals are in need of both physical and mental healthcare which is further aggravated by lack of housing. The housing outcome in Los Angeles County is currently bleak with not only a flip-flop supply and demand, LA County also issues a low about of building permits. Our leaders need to find ways to build density at affordable rates.
