'Collapse of a city that's lost control': Shocking new pictures from downtown LA capture the huge problem it faces with trash and rats amid fear of typhoid fever outbreak among LAPD
  • A decision to not cap property that homeless people can keep on Skid Row was announced last Wednesday...
  • Images from the downtown area show trash piling up as workers struggle to keep the area sanitized 
  • Rows and rows of tents line the sidewalks of Skid Row in the sprawling 50-block area, home to around 4,200
  • On Thursday it was revealed a Los Angeles police detective has been diagnosed with typhoid fever..
  • In an op ed for The LA Times reporter Steve Lopez called it 'the collapse of a city that's lost control' Piles of trash remain at the corner of Compton Ave and E 16th St., downtown. A spokesman for the Los Angeles Community Action Network, who had been campaigning for the new rules regarding property, said: 'I hope this is the signal this is the sign, the proverbial crossroads, that insists we spend our money and our time on things that actually get people off the street'
