So many resources used on the homeless, between fires and water rescues. That shit ain’t cheap!
This generation takes nothing serious
Lmfao they live in there they did not fall in gang
This could've been avoided by the city knowing that thunderstorm was coming. They should have cleared them out for their safety. There has been many complaints from citizens about the homeless encampment inside the wash and this one specifically. They continue to leave the gates unlocked and allow the unhoused to live in a dangerous area like that.
The gates broken open. They attempt to kick them out frequently but the homeless just break back in. The manpower needed to patrol and "clear out" the wash would be near the side of the entire LAPD.
