Report Suggests Rose-Colored Glasses Look At L.A.’s Homeless Efforts

A report suggests Los Angeles city leaders are looking at homelessness reduction efforts through rose-colored glasses. In a settlement with the L.A. Alliance for Human Rights, the city agreed to remove 98-hundred homeless encampments. The L.A. Times reports while the city is counting each encampment dismantled, a number of those clean-ups are leaving the homeless person still on the street. The alliance strongly objects to the city’s methodology of counting encampments, arguing that destroying a tent, without housing its occupants, isn’t compliance with the settlement.
