Why Los Angeles attracts the homeless: how they live there

Los Angeles is very attractive for homeless people from all over America. Here they feel at ease: the mild marine climate, the almost complete absence of frost and a fairly tolerant society. What else does a free person need without a roof over his head? The channel author talks about his observations “My country house” on Yandex.Zen.

In America, homeless people are called homeless, that is, “homeless.” This is not a completely correct name, because there really aren’t that many tramps without their own corner. It’s rare to see some ragamuffin wrapped in a blanket and sleeping peacefully right on the sidewalk of a busy avenue. Most often, homeless people try to acquire some belongings, find a quiet place and settle there.

Favorite places for homeless people are city parks, building niches, green roadsides and highways.

Those who are “poorer” carry their property in a cart and sleep right in the open air. The more “affluent” people put up tents or build shelters from waterproof materials such as tarpaulin.

Sometimes you can find small settlements, where in a row there are several tents or makeshift "houses" shelters.

In general, American homeless people are distinguished by some special homeliness. Perhaps this is due to the fact that among them there are many women. And they are so arranged that they need a hearth for a full life. They clearly collected everything necessary for life.

Tents and shelters protect from the scorching sun in the summer and the piercing wind in the winter. Some even manage to raise children in such conditions. Well, nomads of children in yurts are raising, and nothing!

Homeless people most often earn money for life by collecting bottles and alms right on the street or at the intersections next to freeways. Many churches give out free food and clothing.

This is especially practiced in the business center of the city, so there are an incredible number of homeless people there.

To be honest, the vagabond lifestyle is more of a conscious choice than a necessity. It is not profitable for the state when people live on the street and spoil their appearance. There are many assistance programs - from shelters and free food to assistance in finding a job and buying a home. Some people use it, some don't.

It is good when a person has a family, relatives, because they do not allow a person to slide down. It is much easier for a single person to break away from society. What do you think?
