Los Angeles\u2019 head of homelessness is resigning after presiding over a 33% increase in homelessness over the course of just five years.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Peter Lynn, head of the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority, announced that he would leave at the end of the year, with the LAHSA having splashed out a total of more than $780 million to no avail.<\/span><\/p>\n The city\u2019s homeless population jumped a further 12% from 2018 to 2019 but despite Lynn\u2019s total failure, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti claimed he did an excellent job and oversaw \u201chistoric action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n One wonders how badly Lynn would have had to perform for officials to consider his tenure a failure.<\/span><\/p>\n Lynn\u2019s $242,000-a-year role appears to have had little success in addressing not just homelessness, but also the directly related problems of leprosy, typhoid fever and even bubonic plague.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year, Dr. Drew Pinsky said the public health situation in America\u2019s second largest city was in utter turmoil.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe have a complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now,\u201d said Pinsky.<\/span><\/p>\n 1.5 per cent of rats in L.A. now carry bubonic plague. If that figure hits 2 per cent, the medieval disease will start jumping to humans.<\/span><\/p>\n In other words, if LA doesn\u2019t sort out its trash problem and its homeless problem, the return of bubonic plague is virtually guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n And don\u2019t even get me started on San Francisco.<\/span><\/p>\n
