Ron, a West L.A. resident, thinks he knows why former reality TV star and political newcomer Spencer Pratt won so much support in his run for mayor.<\/p>\n

Read more L.A. region begins the year with the smoggiest first 5 months in a decade<\/a><\/p>\n

People are frustrated, frightened and angry about homelessness \u201cand the crime associated with it,\u201d Ron said in an email. He added that he voted for Mayor Karen Bass, but \u201calmost everything Pratt said about the homeless resonated with me. \u2026 The homeless run wild here, without consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of us support him not because we think he\u2019s perfect,\u201d said Kathy, \u201cbut because we are deeply dissatisfied with the direction of Los Angeles and feel that traditional politicians have not delivered the results we were promised.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob, \u201ca left-leaning Palisades resident,\u201d said the issue is not Pratt\u2019s lack of credentials, but the failures of incumbents. \u201cThere was a columnist \u2026 who documented in depth the situation at MacArthur Park,\u201d Bob wrote in reference to me. \u201cWhat was his name and what happened to him? Did he change his tune?\u201d<\/p>\n

These are all fair points, and if Pratt holds onto one of the top two spots and makes it to the Nov. 3 general election, or he\u2019s overtaken by late-charging Councilmember Nithya Raman, we\u2019re going to hear a lot more about homelessness in coming months.<\/p>\n

So whether we\u2019re looking at a Bass-Raman contest or a Bass-Pratt showdown, here are some random musings, and I\u2019ll begin by responding to Bob\u2019s question about whether I have changed my tune.<\/p>\n

Not in the least.<\/p>\n

The situation in MacArthur Park \u2014 targeted Thursday in a crackdown that involved multiple arrests \u2014 has long been a disgrace, and the same is true of many other places I\u2019ve written about for the past quarter of a century. Last month, I visited a Hollywood neighborhood where one frustrated resident hired her housekeeper to document chronic problems related to homelessness, illegal dumping and criminal activity.<\/p>\n

Residents have good reason to ask why they haven\u2019t gotten better results after responding to politicians\u2019 pleas for more money over the years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Bass had high unfavorability ratings and why, despite leading in the primary vote count, she\u2019ll fall far short of the 50% needed to avoid a second election phase. I still can\u2019t believe that when I first asked her about the sad state of MacArthur Park, she told me she was fully aware, because she often drove through the area on her way to work.<\/p>\n

Then why hadn\u2019t she led the charge to address the problems and return the park to the community?<\/p>\n

It shouldn\u2019t take months, let alone years, to take back control of public spaces, and Pratt\u2019s criticism is warranted, no doubt. And my main issue is not the hypocrisy of him saying God wants him to be mayor while calling his opponents demonic entities and villainizing homeless people he intends to shoo away to Seattle. It\u2019s that his \u201cfixes\u201d demonstrate a lack of understanding.<\/p>\n

Let me make a confession.<\/b> From one angle or another, I\u2019ve been writing about the intersection of homelessness, mental illness and addiction for a couple of decades, and I still have a lot to learn.<\/p>\n

And on a personal note, I lost my son to a drug overdose. He had a job and wasn\u2019t homeless, but like a lot of people who struggle with depression and other demons, he was resistant to help, and even to the idea that he needed help.<\/p>\n

There are a lot more substance users like him, living out of public view, than there are on the street. We notice only those who don\u2019t have the means to pay the rent or the mortgage as housing prices rise. So when Pratt says we don\u2019t have a homelessness problem, but a drug problem, he\u2019s missing a critical component in understanding why L.A. has tens of thousands of unsheltered people.<\/p>\n

Pratt said on his website that his \u201ctreatment first\u201d approach would direct resources into mental health and drug treatment care, which sounds good except that those responsibilities are primarily under county jurisdiction, not city control.<\/p>\n

Read more L.A. divided: Bass, Pratt and Raman dominated in different parts of the city<\/a><\/p>\n

He and others have attacked harm reduction practices, such as distribution of needles and other paraphernalia. And I have to admit that it seems counterintuitive to enable further drug use. But the idea is to prevent death, engage clients and start a relationship that might lead to transformative care.<\/p>\n

The county reports that in 2024, fentanyl-related deaths decreased by 37% and meth-related deaths by 20%. Harm reduction can be \u201cabsolutely invaluable,\u201d addiction specialist Rick Rawson told me when I was working in MacArthur Park, but we need much more than that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have someone who becomes so incapacitated that they can\u2019t stand up,\u201d Rawson said, \u201cto say that you\u2019re just going to provide them with harm reduction and hope they don\u2019t die, I think that falls short of the responsibility we have to each other and to the sickest people.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll add here that I firmly believe we should intervene more aggressively with people who are gravely ill, or are a threat to themselves or others. I recently profiled two San Diegans who are advocating for use of an existing law to allow for deeper evaluations and longer-term treatment plans for people with chronic drug and mental health issues.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that drug and alcohol rehab is seldom a quick or surefire remedy. As for mental illness, it took me one year, along with the help of trained professionals, to convince my friend Nathaniel to seek help after he\u2019d spent decades on the street following a diagnosis of schizophrenia.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve found over the years is that many of those living in tents and cars and alleys and parks are damaged in numerous ways.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m less inclined to judge people from a distance after having met a man on Skid Row who said he fell apart after his young daughter drowned. I\u2019ve met women who are victims of domestic abuse or sexual assault. People in the grip of killer drugs like meth or fentanyl don\u2019t think as clearly as we\u2019d like them to, and they repeatedly sabotage their own self-interest.<\/p>\n

To see people take over public spaces, openly sell or use drugs, lash out and scare those around them is disturbing and sometimes scary. But to say they choose to live on the street, as Pratt has, is to miss the point, to excuse our own complicity, to overlook historic policy failures, and to choose contempt over compassion.<\/p>\n

Homelessness can cause mental illness, and mental illness can cause addiction, and vice versa. One condition alone can be difficult to address, but intertwined maladies further complicate matters.<\/p>\n

I recently checked in with a guy I wrote about who had been addicted and homeless in Koreatown, and he said his recovery took more than half a year. He was in residential treatment for a few months, then in intensive outpatient treatment. There are no shortcuts, he said.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not here to defend Bass, or Raman and the rest of the City Council, which shares responsibility for the current state of the city. Limited progress has been made in the last 3\u00bd years, with a marginally lower number of homeless people.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a long way to go in moving people indoors and restoring a sense of order and public safety. The many needs include smarter enforcement of existing laws, faster development of low-cost interim and permanent housing, better coordination of outreach and follow-up services and more people willing to do all of this work.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope that in the coming months we\u2019ll get an honest conversation about what\u2019s working, what isn\u2019t, and how to do better.<\/p>\n
