There are more photos from a walk around Skid Row I have yet to convert. Reasons for becoming homeless: loss of work, loss of income, loss of housing, taking care of ill family members, lack of family. Not everything was drug related. Some people just need a hand up. The gentleman who was dancing was in survival mode. We were told they don’t like shelters because they’re dirty and people steal. Some people ran businesses on the sidewalk, hiding their merch (cigarettes, etc.) inside covered milk crates they were using as tables.
