Alex talks about historical factors of the homeless problem in Los Angeles and how a new brand of hard left politics disrupted efforts in 2005, contributing to the present catastrophe. Currently, California Congresswoman Karen Bass, Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore, County of Los Angeles Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, Rescue Mission CEO Reverend Andy Bales, who is the leading faith-based advocate on homelessness in Los Angeles and the nation’s leading expert on mental health and addiction Dr. Drew Pinsky, have all called the situation ‘a state of emergency.’ With the 75% increase in homelessness in the past six years under his watch, Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti still refuses to declare a state of emergency.
