Los Angeles' rat problem fuels typhus outbreak among homeless


'Typhus zone': Rats and trash infest Los Angeles' skid row, fueling disease


LOS ANGELES — Wholesale fish distributors, produce warehouses and homeless encampments line Ceres Avenue downtown, creating perfect conditions for rats.

Uneaten food is dumped on the street — a salad platter was recently splattered on the asphalt — and discarded clothing piles up only to be swirled into rats' nests.

Those rats, experts say, are likely contributing to the growing number of typhus infections cropping up on skid row and other parts of the region. The disease is spread by fleas, which are carried by rats, opossums and pets.

"You have constant activity that serves as a breeding ground for rats," said Estela Lopez, executive director of the Central City East Association, a business improvement district that overlaps skid row.




The median rent for an apartment in Los Angeles is $2,483, which over 12 months comes to more than the individual median income of $29,301 for the county, according to data cited by the University of Southern California's Center for Social Innovation.

The USA has 58,000 homeless in LA alone, almost all of whom are black, and yet they refuse to shut down immigration even temporarily while we pay off the national debt.

The conditions in Los Angeles are horrible.
People need work. California is the poorest state in the union so The Salvation Army needs to get busy with soup kitchens.

Trump is drastically reducing environment spending and requirements. He also has cut the CDC which fights against disease issues. Funding for the poor is targeted by the GOP. This also creates problems in the ghettos. This is actually "Trump's World."

No, this is what he inherited from the so called Black Messiah! Hey, Obama blamed Bush for 8 years, why not blame the former president, as what good for the goose is for the gander, right?

Wrong. President Obama wanted to do some things which would alleviate these problems but got NO support from the GOP.

Nonsense, but that is precisely the mentality that progressives develop in themselves and others.

Cities are responsible for keeping their own streets clean; they should not expect the president of the country to do it. It is their own local policies in defiance of reason that have led to this sort of thing.

This is what a real "sanctuary city" looks like. Obama hates America and loves this sort of thing.

San Francisco Squalor: City Streets Strewn With Trash, Needles And Human Feces

San Francisco's streets are so filthy that at least one infectious disease expert has compared the city to some of the dirtiest slums in the world.

The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit surveyed 153 blocks of the city in February, finding giant mounds of trash and food on the majority of streets. At least 100 discarded needles and more than 300 piles of human feces were also found in downtown San Francisco, according to the report.



The sprawling California city that is a hub for major tech companies such as Uber and Twitter is being choked by an affordable housing crisis that is pushing more people onto the streets.



Street conditions in San Francisco are so bad that a Chicago-based medical association recently decided to cancel future events in the city, including a major convention that normally hosts more than 15,000 attendees, according to the San Francisco Travel Association, which declined to name the organization.

It's not as dirty as Paris, which has the same problems. However, it probably is the dirtiest city in the USA.

We need an annual telethon to raise money to find a cure for liberalism.

Ridiculous. Many cities and states are having significant financial problems in Trump's America. But he want to give more tax cuts to the rich, build a meaningless wall and degrade the environment. The day Obama was inaugurated Republicans met to outline their strategy of opposing everything he proposed.

Another [false statement]. The Dems had total control, called the GOP names and never met with the GOP. Obama then got rid of 1000 elected Dems. We need to find a cure for liberalism.

His plans would have actually just the problems ever worse!

Obama was a straight out leftist, who wanted to make us a Marxist and socialist nation, so had to be checked! We would have ended up becoming a much bigger version of Greece...

President Obama for first term had the full control of the Congress, and unlike Trump. ALL of the Dems were walking fully in step with his plans and agendas!

You are missing the point. They are defiantly providing "sanctuary" to illegals, spending money on them rather than their own denizens. This is in large part Obama's doing, but not at all Trump's. Trump wants to fix the problem.

How much of the annual budget is right now being used to pay for the medical and other needs of the illegals in this land?

I suspect we will never be told. This is not the sort of thing they want reported accurately.

Well, all they need to budge is to double budget for the complete wall, and tell us that is just for the wall, but wink wink, the other illegal expenses padded in there also!

 

[church mouse guy]

If the Democrats refuse to build the wall, then the next best thing to do is to cut welfare at the state levels and insist that citizenship be shown for welfare except medical treatment. Illegals applying for welfare should then be deported unless it is caused by medical conditions. We understand that Canadians would want to flee their horrible socialized medical system with its long waits and shoddy care, so if they are poor, we should help them out.

Just would have been SO much better if the Dems would have allowed trump to build the full wall when he first wanted to do it!

Expecting the DIMS to consider ANYTHING other than regaining power is about as sensible as thinking Frosty would choose an overnight at home with satan!!
