ESSENTIAL READING!


Below is one of the most important articles you'll ever read about homelessness, Skid Row and the Police. The title and subtitle of this lengthy piece are:



"The Reclamation of Skid Row:


The LAPD’s efforts are reviving America’s most squalid neighborhood—and the homeless industry is hopping mad."


The piece is long, but a MUST read if you care about Vancouver's Downtown East Side.


It clearly tells the story of a district destroyed by so-called civil libertarians and poverty pimps. It also tells the story of the same district being rescued by compassionate tough love police.




And tell me if this isn't the clear answer to Vancouver's woes.
