.
Quote: homelessness increased by 12% in Los Angeles County this year to just shy of 59,000 people, while in the city of Los Angeles, the number soared to more than 36,000 for a 16% increase. As in past years, most — about 75% — were living outside
.
1 solution is to make more job opportunities so these people can get a job and earn money to live a second option is to open a facility where they can get food and have shelter a third option is to donate
Overpopulation
Overpopulation is a big problem in LA, La actually has the most overcrowded population in the nation. This could also be a reason why people are homeless because there aren't enough opportunities.
Solution 1 is to make a law to have a maximum of 3 kids, similar to what China did, only a little bit kinder. Family planning, this is where you have educators educate the young so in the future they don't go and have so many kids

Quote: County of Los Angeles had the highest percentage of individuals under the official poverty line at 23 percent of the entire population, this has a lot to do with overpopulation because the people don't get the job to get money because there are no jobs.
Environmentaly Stable
Environmental stability is a problem in Los Angeles. There are things like big fires, air pollution, and climate change. Some of it is the vehicles and the factories to people being lazy and not putting garbage in the trash, the sea levels are rising

Quote: The biggest environmental challenge facing California is climate change. From rising sea levels to changing weather patters to the forest fire epidemic
Solutions: I think it would be to have more carpooling because you waste less gas and also having more electric cars so we don't use gas as well as recycling more and throwing garbage in the garbage can
Covid
Covid is a really big problem right now in Los Angeles. In total, LA had/has 1.03 million cases recorded with an amount of 14,122 deaths.
"In the days and weeks ahead, we expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher," Dr. Tedros said in his opening remarks.
1 solution I think should happen is the vaccine, this could help people old or young be immune to the virus, and with people still wearing masks, you have a small chance of being dangered by the virus. Another solution is social distancing (for real) this was a solution but nobody actually did this but if we did it would have less chance of spreading.
Public safety
Public safety is a problem in Los Angeles, There have been 302 murders in Los Angeles and there have been big fires in Los Angeles, the city of Los Angeles has a 9.7% crime rate and many more dangerous things.
Quote:"I'm very, very concerned, it's a 25% increase in homicides, it's a 30% increase in shooting victims," Moore said.
1 solution is maybe to have more police patrolling because in the hood areas there is a lot of violence. The second solution is to ban guns because. a lot of the murders is with guns and also and a third solution is just to make a bad punishment so they know not to do it whether it's killing or arson
