The host argues that American culture encourages a specific detached attitude toward the visibly homeless population.

“now slowly I learn your ways you got to look through them like they're made of mist like they're human Mist people you don't want to look at them you don't want to look away you just keep moving”

The city of Los Angeles has a serious problem regarding homelessness, mental health, and public safety.

“what we have to start realizing is that a lot of these homeless people sadly uh seem to be unwell they don't seem to be doing great and having them walk around the city with knives is probably not good”

Homelessness in Los Angeles is largely a drug crisis that requires mandatory treatment and relocation of homeless individuals to dedicated facilities outside of residential areas.

“It's a drug problem. 90% of these people are drug addicts. We need to get these people mandatory treatment. Then we can get them beds and also they don't have to have a bed in on the west side or next to people's houses or in San Pedro and right next to schools.”

The homelessness problem is largely driven by addiction and the rejection of available shelter rather than a lack of resources.

“There is places for all of these people to sleep in LA. No matter what he tells you, we have housing and shelter for everyone that's living on the street. They are choosing to be on the street because they want to do drugs, they don't want rules, they don't want to listen”
