Letters to the Editor: How L.A. is breaking its social contract with the unhoused (via latimesopinion )
U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Milan Smith Jr. is right that people living unhoused in Los Angeles are indicative of a breakdown in the social contract, but not for the reasons he claims.
We have the resources to end houselessness, but we must prioritize the creation of permanent supportive housing, protect the civil and human rights of people experiencing houselessness, and close the housing affordability gap. Instead, our governments prioritize spending on law enforcement, which will never provide a solution. Indeed, in a 2015 report, the city’s administrative office showed that Los Angeles spent $100 million a year on houselessness, more than half of which went to law enforcement practices that did nothing to address root causes.
