In an astounding ruling yesterday (in
LA Alliance for Human Rights v. City of Los Angeles), federal district judge David O. Carter ordered the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles to take a broad set of actions to address the area’s homelessness crisis. Among other things, the City must place one billion dollars “in escrow” i.e., under Carter’s supervision and the City and the County must “offer and if accepted provide” housing to the “general population living in Skid Row” by mid-October 2021 (with earlier deadlines for subpopulations in Skid Row).

By all accounts, the homelessness situation in the Los Angeles area is indeed a crisis, and nothing in my commentary on Carter’s ruling should be mistaken as minimizing the gravity of the problem.
