Skid Row

These videos on LA's Major Homeless District speak for themselves. I will post a few of them. One thing they do highlight is the importance of your working definition of poverty. It does not seem to me that arresting those who urinate in public or those who are intoxicated is going to fix this probelm of LA's 40,000 homeless! Perhaps our city officials need a new working definition. Better yet, why don't we begin addressing the problem of the wealthy who live only blocks away?


Video I. Introduction/Health



Video 2. Kids/Education



Video 5. Afterward: "embrace them, include them"


(Video 3. Culture/Drugs and Video 4. God)
