DTLA Skid Row Unsanitary Tent City Spreading a Plague of Its Own

REAL ESTATE NEWS

The sight of the tents of the homeless in DTLA is more than just unsightly. It is a red flag of worse things to come. Coronavirus is not the only plague LA needs to worry about. All sorts of rare and uncommon third world maladies are being spread among the unhoused across Los Angeles.

As the Loft Blog has reported several years ago, an L.A. Police detective was diagnosed with typhoid fever — a rare illness usually spread through contaminated water, as reported in the LA Times. At least five other officers who work in the same station also started showing symptoms of the sickness. The six cops work in the Central Division station, where an investigation into unsafe and unsanitary conditions led to $5,000 of fines. The division covers Skid Row and downtown LA — with the officers calling for the homeless encampments to be cleaned up to stop the spread of illness. Other cases in the area have seen cops diagnosed with hepatitis A and staph infections. It’s not just first responders who are at risk. An officer could take one of these illnesses home to his/her spouse and children.

As reported last fall by the LA Times, government officials are putting more money than ever before into finding housing for the region’s homeless population.  Will it happen soon enough to save us from dire public health catastrophes? In the city of L.A. alone, Mayor Eric Garcetti is planning to spend nearly $1 billion to combat homelessness in the coming budget year, tapping huge new sources of state and federal aid, and finally ramping up construction of homes for the unhoused. NPR reports that only a regional solution will be effective. Cleaning up one encampment just pushes its occupants to move into a new location as seen in Venice Beach. #entarispowerful #DTLAHousing
