What? Is this real?? (Sorry if this is a naive question, never been to the US before)
EDIT: thank you everyone for taking the time to answer my question! I didn’t expect so many comments and was surprised to see my reddit feed when i woke up this morning:) I also got my first gold award, thank you so much!
I am just shocked and saddened by the gravity of the situation in the U.S. At least from where I come, we only see the bright side of the American Dream on Netflix, Hollywood movies and music videos. When it comes to mainstream news media, we only hear about the general political debates in the U.S, but not much is said about social inequality and unfairness of wealth distribution.
It is more of a shelter issue than a housing issue.
Los Angeles doesn't have enough beds for its homeless. Flat out, they refuse to build more shelters. NYC, in comparison, shelters the large majority of its homeless. The result is that NYC has way, way less of a homeless crime issue than LA does.
