More than 1,000 homeless people died in L.A. last year

This video is a P.R. piece, but it gives you a look at how horrible the situation is in the infamous Skid row area of L.A..   This video was put out by ReasonTV, part of the Reason Foundation, a Libertarian Think Tank, which gets funding from David Koch, among other sources.  A quick Google search showed me that.  It appears the Sprung Structures promoted in this video also have ties to Koch Industries, though I can't be sure.  This gives you a picture of the homelessness industry, and the ulterior motives and interconnection that are a part of the homeless issue at nearly every level.

That said, this was put out last month (December 2019), so it's recent, and it tells us that over 1,000 people died on the streets of Los Angeles last year.  That's about 4 times as many as people who die annually from homicide in L.A..  After seeing this, and the article below, I put a post on Facebook about this fact.  After seeing my post mentioning that 1,000 homeless people died in L.A. last year, one guy I didn't know commented, "How many more to go?"  That attitude is another of the big issues with homelessness, the dehumanization of homeless people that has grown dramatically over the past couple decades, and has really aggravated the issue. 

Here's an article from The Guardian that also mentions the fact that 1,000 homeless people died on the streets of L.A..  The Guardian has written a lot of great material on homelessness.
