"Unhoused Man Constructs Full-Featured Home Alongside Los Angeles Freeway"
A community of makeshift homes, mostly constructed by homeless individuals, has been established along the Arroyo Seco near Highland Park, Los Angeles. One resident, Cesar, explained that the lack of interference is a benefit of living there, as he struggles to find steady work and affordable housing. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has called for private sector involvement in creating affordable housing, while Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez's office is working to urgently find housing for the individuals in the encampment and address safety concerns.
