Does L.A. Have Shanty Towns?

The British Broadcasting Corporation is reporting that, indeed, the city of angels has shanty towns. In fact, they have a YouTube video for proof.

We've been discussing whether Los Angeles is a world-class city, or just another Third World urban mess. Our friends across the pond think that homelessness in LA has become such a mess, shanty towns are propping up.

The LA Times continues to report on one shanty town--the tent city in Ontario, just east of L.A.

Not good marketing material for our city...
