Hey, I wanna check in to see locals thoughts about “cleanup” in Skid Row today.

I’m over by Sawtelle off Bundy and I’ve seen multiple homeless people I’ve never seen before and they’re so damaged they don’t even form words. I’m trying to leave my work right now and am stuck (luckily on the other side of a garage gate) but can’t leave cause of this guy moaning violently at the air. So…

This isn’t necessarily a political question (that’s not the goal) but I’ve seen some people call it a stunt already and i’m interested in seeing if anyone has the inside scoop on the upcoming voting being swayed by this in some way, too. I saw some comments on an article shared on Facebook that it only lasted two hours. Were you there? What are your thoughts? I kind of just wanna know how locals are affected across Los Angeles as well as close to skid row. Have you seen this been done before? How often? What happens? Throw in a proposal for solving homelessness I’d love to see it.

Here’s what I understand(and I just want to learn more so please expand or correct me)… Skid Row is a huge area, 56 square blocks (quoting that Netflix crime documentary about the Carlisle). There the police basically don’t even bother going. A big reason there’s so many homeless people is one- there’s rampant drug use and easy access to it along with some resources available downtown. Two it’s also where patients with no home address are released from being in a mental institutions or after being arrested ( frequently for being homeless &/or mentally ill &/or showing aggression in some way). Often people who suffer with mental illness &/or psychosis from extended drug use &/or addiction behave irrationally (don’t take meds/ continue access to the meds/ choose to be homeless) to people who don’t deal with those issues and homelessness is frequently the outcome, especially with it being so un affordable in Los Angeles.

So it’s an area that was created systematically to contain this type of behavior and illness there’s plenty of targeted outreach to that area, but there’s not some long-term solution. It seems like today was kindled by the upcoming voting next month. And I think I’m already seeing effects of people having left the area to avoid the people hunting for numbers of arrests. Which, in-part, means that across LA it just won’t be your local unhoused regulars.

As an 20syo female who works late outside of Sawtelle it really concerns me. I live just outside of Culver City by the ten and in five months I’ve probably called the cops 15-20 times because of scary homeless people breaking shit and being totally mentally unstable or wielding weapons or encampments/trespassing/ damaging property.

Sometimes I feel like I’m around a lot of darkness, but maybe I’m hyper aware (& give clothes out and food out by work) or is this all pretty much people in LA’s experience generally just cause we’ve live in a big duckin city? What do y’all do? Do you wanna plug any resources to help mentally ill or the right title in certain districts, city council to contact / other tips and resources? GIVE ME THE SCOOPS PLEASSSEE

I’m a full time grad student, with a part time job. I need to make about 100$ more a week. Any ideas on gigs in DTLA?

The one at USC village is not in downtown and i mean theh are opening an erewhon why not a TJ?

Or is the concern mostly for the coast and valley?

I live in an apt building, several floors up. The utilities’ maintenance is largely beyond my control. I live in an old, but seemingly well-maintained building that has endured a multitude of seasons at this point.

I don’t want to start hoarding things like bottled water, if I don’t need to. I want to only take what I need.

Any insight is appreciated.
Thank you.

It's barely 4 blocks total, do we really need this division?

Hi all! Back in 2018, I saw these stunning goblets at The Last Bookstore, and like a fool, I didn’t immediately bring them home with me. I came back to find the artist’s store gone, and the goblets with them! Does anyone recognize the style/make/artist/etc, and know where I could find them? I can’t stop thinking about them 😅 and haven’t been able to find anything like them since. ((If you ended up owning them yourself, no worries, but it would be nice to know that they ended up in a nice home c:)) Thanks for the help!

Koreatown. Such a bummer. Posting for awareness and cause fuck this guy

Hi all,

Lived all around LA my whole life but always wanted to do a artist loft so I've finally been looking into it. How is this area / any one know about this building? Any dtla living tips for a prospective renter?

I wonder what the back story is here?

Saw this interesting movie last night at its LA premiere and it opens at the Alamo this weekend and I said I'd spread the word! So here I am doing that. Q&As with Alex Ullom (IT ENDS), Carols Aguillar (LA TIMES) and Sabrina Greco (LOCKJAW).

A bunch of blockages and nothing in the news. Went to go grab a quick coffee and it turned into a 40 minute mission to get out of 3 blocks.
