Here is a copy of a post I put on Facebook for Mayor Garcetti of Los Angeles...
--------
My Great Grandfather died on Skid Row in Los Angeles back in 1970, he was once Chief of Police in Denver, Colorado, he had a sad life. Someone suggested having camps in the mountains where the homeless people can have a warm bed, and a good meal, and a nice hot shower, and N/A and A/A, etc.
And a good place in the mountains for people to get rehab, and work on their issues would be Lake Hughes, California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acton,_CaliforniaThey have a center in Acton for both men and women.

There is a lot that can be done to help the homeless and the mentally ill and the addicts.
And we need new trade deals with China, etc, we must create good honest jobs for our people. If they want us to buy their stuff, then they need to buy our stuff.
And groups such as Homeboy Industries are getting people jobs in the solar industry, etc. And there is also Chrysalis which is getting jobs for the homeless.
