FPI: 500,000 Homeless in America is Proof Local Leaders Are Tone Deaf on Emergency Management
Alex talks about how partisan politics get in the way of solving real problems and how Democrats are damaging their own cities because of it. Los Angeles is the main case in point. An evolving pattern of failed management at the top is to blame for the homeless crisis and drug epidemic. A scam for homeless housing with tax payer dollars exposes Proposition HHH as a bait and switch on the people, unlike any in the history of the City of Los Angeles. A contrast between former Mayor Richard Riordan and the City of Los Angeles, shows glaring failures in emergency management with the current mayoral administration.

U.S. News: The Homeless Are Dying in Record Numbers on the Streets of Los Angeles. More than 918 died in 2018.
By Anna Gorman and Harriet Blair Rowan, By Kaiser Health News, Contributor April 23, 2019
A record number of homeless people — 918 last year alone — are dying across Los Angeles County, on bus benches, hillsides, railroad tracks and sidewalks.
Deaths have jumped 76% in the past five years, outpacing the growth of the homeless population, according to a Kaiser Health News analysis of the coroner's data.
Health officials and experts have not pinpointed a single cause for the sharp increase in deaths, but they say rising substance abuse may be a major reason. The surge also reflects growth in the number of people who are chronically homeless and those who don't typically use shelters, which means more people are living longer on the streets with serious physical and behavioral health issues, they say.
