One man, who died of a drug overdose, was living in a large encampment of about 25-30 tents on Toriumi Plaza above the Aiso Street Parking Garage on First Street. Until six months ago, that encampment didn’t exist.
Merchants and office workers, getting back to business in January and February after sheltering at home during the pandemic, were shocked to find a sea of tents and tarps blanketing a place named for Rev. Howard Toriumi, a man who made saving Little Tokyo his personal mission.

Despite his media presence and unorthodox social media platform, Dr. Drew is a practicing internist (he still sees patients), and an expert on addiction; he also gives some key insights on mental illness, and often has other medical experts on his show to discuss these concerns. Dr. Drew has spent the past few years speaking out about the Los Angeles homeless crisis, even going to Downtown Los Angeles’ Skid Row to interview, treat, and give greater voice to the horrible conditions that people of all ages are suffering under, and to point to potential solutions that could bring resolution to this blight on this once great city.
