-> If what I saw when I was out in the LA area < 2 yrs ago is any indication,
-> there likely are not enough "shelters and services" to make much of a dent
-> in the encampment populations.

-> There were strings of old RVs and other quasi-mobile homes and tents strung
-> out for over a mile on Valley Blvd, and for miles along San Fernando (on
-> both sides of the street).  There were people living, and defecating, in the
-> vestibules at the bottoms of the overhead walkways in Long Beach, and
-> apparently living in the restrooms there at the aquarium and also at Santa
-> Monica Pier.

They are towed there and then the people that own them rent them out to
the homeless people that don't want to live in a tent. The city usually
tows them away eventually.

-> So not just in places that tourists won't usually go.

-> I actually assumed they gave some of them the broken down RVs and trailers
-> along the streets... otherwise, I am not sure how some of them got there as

You know what they say about assume?
They aren't mobile.
