Because homelessness in LA is a multidimensional problem, it requires a holistic response. You have to deal with sanitation for the unhoused population and the local residents. You have to treat people with the services they need to get them off the street. You have to find shelter for the largest unsheltered population in the nation. You have to create more affordable housing for those without permanent homes in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world. And even if you do all of that, you have to prevent so many new people from becoming unhoused in the first place.
