I am not sure what is going on out here in my neighborhood. Until the riots after the Rodney King court decision there was lots of Homeless around. During the riot they seemed to disappear and only gradually came back more then 6 months later and in demised quantities.
As time has passed there has been less and less of them.
What has changed is the age of the homeless. It mostly used to people that looked to be in their 40's or older. Now the ones I see are in their 20's.
Another thing that is different is that in the last 10 years there has been an increasing amount of shelters made by them or Tents.
There is a Bridge going over a freeway near by and on the other side of the Bridge is 2 recycling companies. It used to be you would see people on bicycles or with shopping carts going over the bridge to cash in their aluminum cans. In stead with the younger people is that they appear to be low level drug dealers.
