Homeless w 4 dogs, eh?

Overall not sure why I'd go back to LA - not sure what of the culture's survived, but maybe I'm just being grim. Is there an actual underground anymore?

Portland:

A record 193 homeless people died in Multnomah County, home to Portland, OR, in 2021, a 53% increase compared with the previous year.
Substances contributed to about 60% of those deaths.
Similar to 2020, methamphetamine was the most common drug noted in the county’s fatalities.

Spent some time in the Tenderloin today. It looks way better since @SFPDTenderloin started their crackdown on drug dealers. Funny how that works. @BrookeJenkinsSF @LondonBreed #SanFrancisco

San Francisco is getting “emptier and emptier”

Last time I went a man was urinating on the Twitter building and the only people on the street were angry press trying to snap photos of @elonmusk

new to me:

And so it begins. Tomorrow, Eric Garcetti's Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan stands trial alone for the racketeering empire Jose Huizar ran out of City Hall. There is no earthly punishment that can undo what these greedy, dumb creeps stole from Angelenos. https://t.co/02SUfRGQnl pic.twitter.com/W0E4Dk7na0
