Homeless Crisis Amid Stars

The Hollywood walk of shame. I spent the last several days in Los Angeles, California documenting the homeless crisis with @choeshow. A majority of the time I spent on Skid Row, the highest concentration of homelessness in the United States, but I spent half a day at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where, despite this obvious wealth, has its own Homeless crisis. I witnessed people smoking me standing on various stars.

Full-Blown Crisis

There was a lot of mental health issues and a lot of panhandling. It was extra busy as they were preparing for the Oscars. California is in a full-blown crisis with no plan in sight. Go to https://fixhomelessness.org to learn more.
