Serious question.

Do you think that every homeless person is either an illegal or a lazy criminal that doesn't want to work?

Why are you mad at the alleged illegals and squatters who tagged the place but not at the chinese who abandoned and left behind a whole block of useless buildings?

Cliffs-

It is not a squatter issue
Blew up on social media so people come from all over to mark their "brand"
Some have even parachuted off it!
Abandoned since 2020
DEI Mayor want to charge developer for all costs to clean up and patrol
Owner is BANKRUPT CHINESE COMPANY, so good luck with that Mayor
Near Kobe statue so not safe to fly Helicopters near it...

To be fair, the building is unfinished and abandoned, so it was already an eyesore

would imagine that the law in California these days even makes it hard for corporations to evict the squatters.

Guess that depends on “the purpose” of the building. If it’s zoned as a multi-unit housing complex, the corporations have the financial backing but the optics may keep them from doing anything.

If it’s zoned for commercial use, the laws may actually help them as it could be illegal for people to use commercial property as residential

for some reason Los Angeles' homeless and vagrant problem has exploded to a level that is impossible to ignore.

Other notable cities whose downtowns that have declined rapidly: Minneapolis and San Francisco



Hmmm....geographical proximity...no
Weather...no. not sure what could be the common denominator here

The craziest graffiti I ever saw was in Poland. In places like Warsaw it was beautiful always around the trains or on them. (Probably because I was on a train)

I'm saying it's strange to stress MODERN in all caps referring to a building that has been disowned and probably decaying for half a decade. Why are we blaming illegals? Why are we calling out squatters with no evidence? Why are we characterizing this as a hostile takeover of the country? What's the angle?

I'm surprised it took 5 years to be vandalized honestly. Every single train car that sits still overnight gets the same treatment, some of them more MODERN than these buildings. And, more importantly, COMPLETE AND FUNCTIONAL. Is that a hostile takeover of the country by illegals?

Do you think there's an equal chance this was done by Asian medical students?

How the hell do all these "homeless" people afford that much spray paint. That shite is $7 a can at Home Depot.

Those homeless camps are very much open drug markets. Opiates very much accelerated this problem.

You think they BUY it? Thats cute.

It’s $7 because we have to offset the massive loss they take on from unmitigated theft.
