Imagine walking the streets of Los Angeles 🌆 and knowing that one in every ten people you pass has experienced homelessness at some point. Shocking, right? According to the latest L.A. Barometer survey from the University of Southern California, over one million Angelenos have faced homelessness.
But that's not all. The survey also reveals that 29% of L.A. County residents who moved in the last year didn't do it by choice—they were forced out due to skyrocketing rents 📈. The housing scene in LA is starting to look like a real-life drama, and not the kind we binge-watch on Netflix.
With the cost of living soaring and affordable housing options dwindling, the struggle is real for many residents. The report paints a grim picture 🖼️ of housing and affordability in the nation's largest county. It's no wonder that housing and homelessness are hot topics on the upcoming ballot measures 🗳️.
As LA grapples with this crisis, it's a wake-up call for cities everywhere. Housing isn't just about shelter—it's about dignity, community, and the hope for a better future ❤️.
