Not really. Religious fervour has moved to "wokeness". If you are not "woke" , you will (figuratively) be burned at the stake (job loss, deplatform, "MAGAT" etc)
> And what about the homless population? Yes it is a problem that there are so many unhoused people. But is it really surprising that they would congregate in a city with such mild weather and access to social services? Do they not also have a right to live their lives?
Sure. It is a "free" country after all. I have no dog in the fight since I am not in the US and do not intend to visit LA any time soon (maybe in the 70s I would have).
All I am doing is, pointing out the reality of LA.
