'There's A Lot Going On In 50 Square Blocks'

There's no way you can claim to know anything about housing in Los Angeles without learning about its homeless population. It's been a few years since I've reported on the issue myself, but I continue to follow what others write about homelessness and poverty with great interest.

Worthy of note is the introduction to a five-part series about Skid Row from GOOD Magazine.

Produced by web video director Lindsay Utz, writer Sam Slovick, and funded in part by Kenneth Cole Productions' AWEARNESS campaign (not sure how private funding figures into the journalism of this, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt until we hear a good reason not to), it's worth checking out.
