Feliciano Aranda, who has worked at the Kailash Hotel, expressed mixed feelings about the increased police presence in the area. While he acknowledges that cleaning the graffiti helps, he believes that offering jobs and training to the unhoused would be a more effective approach. His own experience of being unhoused after his landlord's death highlights the struggles many face. The article reflects on the challenges of homelessness and the potential for community initiatives to foster positive changes with better support systems.
