I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

Los Angeles now has 11 tiny home villages with operations funded by the city, according to the Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).

Chandler Blvd. in North Hollywood was the first, opening in 2021. But as these communities have expanded, so has something else: the number of emergency calls.

KTLA obtained police, fire and paramedic records which paint a picture of the care still needed by the unhoused when they are taken off the streets. Among them are calls for suspected assault, threats, weapons, suicides and overdoses.

  1. Wall it off, toss in enough chinky fentanyl to kill a herd of elephants, and whoever survives after 90 days is studied in university research centers.

  2. 'Unhoused'. From the same cunning linguists that brought you 'undocumented Americans',
    'carbon neutrality' and 'a pandemic of the unvaccinated'.
    Screw 'em. Screw 'em all.

  3. Who would have thought that providing an enclosed space to addicts and mentally ill people wouldn't solve addiction and mental illness.

    2. Because jails that are more secure have done a bang-up job, right?

    3. I heard today that my nephew OD'd in rehab. Inside a licensed, insurance-approved drug rehabilitation facility as a patient, he OD'd.

  4. Some people are beyond help and are a detriment to the community. In addition, I keep hearing my local animal shelter is looking for dog food donations. Anyone besides me see a common beneficial solution to both?

  7. What is the cost. I guess 2 million a house maybe. Didnt see sink or toilet. Surely they didnt run a sewer line for all the houses. So that mean they crap in the street and this picture was taken just before newsome's boss xi showed up.
