The signs of failure are everywhere, but start here: Los Angeles has more homeless people this year. The annual count, conducted in January but amazingly enough not released until well after the June primary elections, shows a 7.9 percent increase in unsheltered homelessness in the City of Los Angeles, with a smaller increase in total homelessness, and also a smaller increase in countywide homelessness. With a couple thousand people dying on the street every year, the Los Angeles Times quickly zeroed in on the true victim of that metastasizing despair:

Karen Bass has suffered a setback. That poor woman. Stop hurting her, America.

The point-in-time count, an effort to tally up all the people sleeping on the street at a single moment, is certainly an undercount of total year-round homelessness. Look at this document from San Francisco as an example: They counted 8,323 people on the street in their 2024 point-in-time count, but estimated the total number of homeless people in the city throughout the year at closer to 20,000. (The dumbest politician in Southern California, Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, used this distinction to dismiss the growth in the homeless count as “esoteric.”)

The count itself verges on self-parody, as volunteers circulate through extremely dangerous places like Skid Row to ask the homeless their gender identity. Great news: Very few two-spirit people are sleeping on the sidewalk in Los Angeles.

If you ever find yourself counting the homeless in Los Angeles, remember to ask for pronouns.

California feeds homelessness like that Nicholas Cage character in Las Vegas feeding his alcoholism. Infamously, state auditors reviewing $24 billion........
