If you want to read some sickening responses to this story from Los Angeles residents, I (don't) recommend reading the comments on Curbed's coverage. As long as this is the prevailing sentiment among voters, the housing/homeless problem will never be solved.

From the comments:

"The L.A. Times reports that "only" 12% of the homeless have been in L.A. for less than a year. That’s more than half of the 23% increase !"

This is Ken M level math.
