New urban blight low for Halloween. On my walk today, I saw *two* drugged-looking people with their pants almost off lying on sidewalk (one possibly a woman, hard to tell) and one homeless man with a bandaged head clearly discharged from a hospital with a head injury.

I'm thinking it is time for the middle class to entirely abandon the poor to the rich. Maybe I'll vote for Rick Caruso after all. This has gone way beyond anything middle-class people can do anything about.

I’m not sure the rich have any solutions either. The mayor’s office is relatively weak in LA and its power comes from the ability to coordinate government agencies. Caruso’s not popular in local government and I think he will struggle to implement his plans.
