Mayor Karen Bass in Wash DC warns other mayors they may not have 67K homeless like LA, but it could happen to them too.
Mayor Karen Bass focused on her efforts to address Los Angeles’ homelessness crisis in a speech at the United States Conference of Mayors on Thursday, Jan. 19 in Washington D.C.
“Your population of unhoused might not be as massive as 67,000 people, but let me just tell you, if you don’t get a handle on it, it will be,” Bass said. “The fact that our society has reached a point where we accept people living on the street and living anywhere, it’s like, ‘What has happened to us?”‘ Bass said. “It is completely unacceptable.”
