"A Crisis Of Extremes": Behind The Homeless Surge In California's High Desert

In the scrubby Mojave desert north of Los Angeles, a sprawling encampment of decrepit RVs sits just off a dirt road separating the city of Lancaster from Los Angeles County’s unincorporated expanse.

In every direction, garbage spreads out like an algae super bloom—beyond that, endless sand and brush, baking in the summer sun.

  2. At least they're out of the way and not giving big cities like LA, Sacramento and San Francisco a bad name.

  3. I guess this article is trying to "raise awareness of of the homeless plight". Sorry, no pity! Barnacles on society. "I can't get my own water". Really! As Sam Kinneson famously said, " IT'S A F..KING DESERT!"

    1. I'll continue to thank my parents for teaching me how to avoid situations that would put me there.
