"It’s not uncommon to see people who are either asleep or passed out, with syringes and needles scattered about, illustrating the urgent need for action in this neighborhood."
"L.A. Mayor Karen Bass stated, 'The bottom line is, we have to do whatever it's going to take, and we have to respond urgently.'"
"The Aguirres don’t let their daughter use the park, even though it’s the most conveniently located green space, highlighting the dire state of their community."
