LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke toured Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday during his campaign tour in California.

During his three-day California trip, the politician planned to visit Skid Row and San Quentin State Prison.

O’Rourke walked the streets of Skid Row, an area with one of the largest populations of people experiencing homelessness in the United States, before meeting with women at the Downtown Women’s Shelter.

Following the Skid Row visit, O’Rourke joined an equity and justice roundtable with Equity First Alliance & Cage-Free Cannabis － organizations focused on repairing the harms of the War on Drugs.

His visit fell on the same day President Donald Trump visited Los Angeles.

1. K & R!

Other states give bus tickets to their homeless to go to Los Angeles.

Also, I guess it is the weather as well, the overwhelming population, and cost of living.

2. exactly, the comments on this on one of Beto's social media pages were full of ignorant right

wingers.

people had to explain the reason why places like LA had more homeless. they were claiming it's because it's liberal.

the right wing is so fucking ignorant about everything.

3. Beto goes out and talks with and listens to EVERYONE
