Please. Escape. LA.
LA has 66,433 [1] homeless people and there is not the resource system to help. LA has a huge drug culture which creates an aggressive gang culture. Homeless are taken advantage of by gangs. The camps that are allowed are not worth it! It is so bad - Typhoid Fever, Typhus & Tuberculosis are spreading among the homeless encampments [2]. Your best bet is to find a small town in the middle of no where America and pan handle. By the end of the day you will be cleaning someones garage for cash sleeping in a mechanics guest house. No one cares in LA.
