Largest Homeless Population in the West

Downtown L.A. has the largest homeless population in the West. Actavists and Academics discuss what the city is doing to address this societal issue. Thousands of homeless men, women, and children live on the streets each night, but specifically concentrated higher levels of individuals sleep on Skid Row. Talking is great; however, action is greater! There needs to be more action. We have not seen that much of a positive change, but what we have seen is patient dumpings. We have to stop turning a blind eye and push are local Congressmen and women to step up their game plan or we will make them step down. I am tired of living in one of the most richest countries in the world and having to see every single day people begging for food, money, and acohol. These people need our help. Of course it is easy to turn a blind eye and pretend that homeless people do not exist, but they do. If we can travel thousands of miles outside of America to help educate and shelter people in least developed countries and developing countries, then we can try a little harder to help our own people who are starving on the streets each night.
