13-04-20 Los Angeles under the Greater Depression

With all its vile, I miss LA.  Especially, since I know that I am unlikely to be able to ever enter the United States again, unless there is a regime change there.  I also am interested in the changes under the current Greater Depression: How many houses are under foreclosure if you drive through North Hollywood or the valley?  What percentage of the shops are boarded if you drive through Ventura Blvd? Hollywood Blvd? Melrose? Adams?  How many homeless people are on the street in Santa Monica?  I get some idea about how bad it is from visitors, who live there to Israel,  but the piece below gives you  the impression that LA under the Greater Depression left on a visitor to LA from elsehwere.

And we ain't seen nothing yet!
