During the Covid pandemic, homeless numbers in Los Angeles grew, but were basically ignored as thousands built permanent tent cities along the streets of the City of Angels, while city leaders instead focused on the government instituted Covid-19 state of emergency. That state of emergency gave emergency powers to city officials that affected many aspects of everyday life. Click for Full Text!
