(2) We could tear down more Rent Controlled apartments (RSO) to construct more Mixed-Use Projects.
This is the favorite approach of Mayor Eric Garcetti since he first took office as councilmember for CD 13 in Hollywood in 2001. It has been the unanimously favorite solution by the Los Angeles City Council which has unanimously approved the destruction of RSO units for the last fifteen (15) years.

A reduction in the amount of pills shipped around 2011 led its users to turn to illicit drugs, they argue.

Boise decision, specifically, says ticketing or arresting homeless people sleeping outside
“when no alternative shelter is available to them” violates the ban on cruel and unusual punishment in the 8th Amendment of the Constitution.
Homeless advocates fear Judge Carter’s injunction will amount to a temporary band-aid that gives the green light to a crackdown on unhoused residents of Skid Row. If the offer of interim shelter beds, far-flung across the city, is deemed “adequate,” that may allow ticketing and arrests for camping outdoors to resume.
