GOOD Magazine: Skid Row Part 5: Afterword

http://good.is/

Alongside Skid Row's hustlers, transients, and cops are a lesser known population of children, social servants and religious workers whose daily lives play out on LA's most dangerous city blocks. Watch "On Skid Row," debuting Feb. 18, to get behind the headlines and into the streets of Los Angeles' Skid Row.

Part 5: For over 20 years the official policy for Skid Row has been one of containment. Los Angeles needs a catalytic action from its political leadership and it's not getting it. People ask "what can I do?" Anything.

They are eye-opening and wonderfully done.

@laughgrl I agree 100%. Maybe it will open the eyes of alot politicians and Americans.

an inspiring and eye-opening perspective. every LA resident should be more aware of and active towards these issues.

Watch Homeless Christ for end times preporations

there needs to be acres where homeless people can stay in tents and be bussed to and from the city center where they can get their needs met, enjoy life, and get bussed back to their tent....

Ezekiel 16:49-50:

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

"Embrace the community; include them!" Inspiring words! I think we all want to feel included in something meaningful in life... how moreso the people on the down and out in places like Skid Row! Lord, God, please help us all to do better for one another!

skidrow exists in all states and all countries they just aren't as concentrated and visible as what Los Angeles has.

To really make a change we'll have to change the ideas, events, and people that those, primarily the youth, in the area are exposed to
