The "City of Angels" is anything but:
As though homeless people don’t already own so few possessions, the city of Los Angeles just passed a law saying that the amount of things a homeless person can own must fit inside of a trashcan. They even have size dimensions for the trashcan, noting that the items must fit in a 60-gallon trashcan and the lid must close over it.
The new law allows police to even confiscate tents that are still standing on public property during daylight hours. Taking away a homeless person’s shelter is not constructive, and in fact only makes them feel less secure in a time when they need a solid foundation to get back on their feet.
This law is in response to LA’s homeless epidemic, which has been on the rise recently, with an increase in 20% over just the last two years.

When there was an Ebola epidemic the US let the infected enter our country, sparing no expense to make them feel right at home.
But now that there is a "homeless epidemic", we somehow have decided it's time to quarantine those who are infected with poverty and treat them like trash.
The people who run this country have no souls.
