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

Downtown Los Angeles Residents May Sue The Mayor

A growing number of Downtown L.A. residents are fed up with what they see as inaction by the mayor’s office on uncontrolled homeless tent encampments, intolerable violent crime, dangerous refuse with it’s accompanying disease outbreaks. #suethemayor #garcetti #homeless #dtla

Little Tokyo Lofts owners want their city to get better, not worse.
Little Tokyo Lofts owners want their neighborhood to get better, not worse.

The new website encourages concerned Downtowners to do something about it. They’re promoting what may be the most cost-effective way to force positive change:  sue the mayor in small claims court.

Internet site SueTheMayor.com promises a better way to address the financial burden on business owners and citizens, reduce festering garbage piles, rats, viruses and serious bacterial infections in our neighborhoods.  The website hopes to help undue the traumatizing “lawless” society (aka Skid Row) that was created by the mayor’s office and city council.  The small claims lawsuits could even save lives directly, preventing murders of innocents like the elderly man who was murdered right across the street from Whole Foods and Sky Lofts, and another older man, an LADWP employee murdered just a block away from Savoy Condominiums.

Some claim that Skid Row’s artificially created “homeless industrial complex” reaps hundreds of millions for profiteers, making things worse instead of improving homeless-related problems.

They believe that the mayor and city council have taken actions to make the homeless problems worse, and done so against the expressed demands of the greater Downtown LA community, leading to negligent infliction of emotional distress on millions of Angelenos.

Not only locals have noticed; over the last 12 months, the entire world has been taking note of Downtown’s embarrassing “sh!thole” situation of trash-strewn streets. Mayor Garcetti has received much, sometimes all of the blame. Even broadcasters of New York based potty-humor Howard Stern Show have recently commented on the unbelievable filth of L.A.
