Rumors have indicated that cities and states have been sending their “unhoused” population to the City of Los Angeles for quite a while. Reports now prove what everyone already knew to be true.

A report from City Journal indicates that 63% of the homeless population in the city of Los Angeles comes from outside the city, over half are from outside the county, 40% are from outside California, and 6% are foreign nationals. If you are surprised by this, you have likely been fooled by the homeless industrial complex.

You see, the left likes to play it off like a lack of housing is why zombies do drugs on the street. The problem with that claim is that it is a lie. The situation has a lot to do with drug addiction and nearly nothing to do with falling on hard times.

Los Angeles hosts the nation’s largest unsheltered homeless population. In recent years, despite billions in city and county spending, L.A.’s once-pristine streets have become littered with tents, drugs, and feces. City leaders have made elaborate promises about managing the homeless problem, but few seem to have asked a simple question: Where, exactly, are these people coming from?

There is a reason for that. In 2020, the city-county Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) found that one-third of “unsheltered Angelenos” became homeless outside of Los Angeles County. In 2024, the nonprofit RAND Corporation reported that 41 percent of the street homeless surveyed across three Los Angeles
neighborhoods—Hollywood, Venice, and Skid Row—were “last housed” somewhere other than L.A. County.
Both reports cut against the narrative of left-wing politicians and activists, who insist that any claim that out-of-town homeless are flooding L.A. is a “myth.” In 2021, LAHSA stopped publishing previous-location data. In 2025, RAND removed the metric from the organization’s annual report and included it in a separate, lesser-read “annex.”

It turns out this “myth” is a result of officials making it ridiculously easy to be “unhoused” in the city. These zombies flood the streets of Los Angeles because of its softness towards crime prosecutions and because the city affords these people housing benefits, drug paraphernalia, and leniency towards public camping. This is because the city finds it compassionate to allow these “unhoused” individuals to live out their debauchery on the street, rather than uphold public health and safety. The fact that voters fail to realize this is a problem largely created by officials is astonishing. Not only that, but they continue to elect the same people to fix said problem, despite them being the ones who started this whole mess. It truly is the perfect representation of insanity.

If voters re-elect Karen Bass as mayor, we can, sadly, expect more of the same.
