Hollywood is like the apocalypse already happened. And I hear a lot of right-leaning folks saying it is all drugs and mental illness and a lot of left-leaning folks talking like this is just totally acceptable and we just need to call them unhoused neighbors. Meanwhile, so many of the people in Hollywood are like three months of bad luck away from living in a tent. It is heartbreaking.
In Las Vegas, they drive around buses with showers on them and they don't just have social programs to feed the hungry but actual outreach to get the help to the people who need it most. The contrast is stark when I go back and forth.
