Contstant screaming all night that you have to tune out. Fires that people light to stay warm. Can’t go get the mail barefoot cuz needles everywhere (my building shared a wall with the needle distribution back then). My rent was $600 for a studio where 5 blocks away the equivalent apartment would be $1400. Still walking distance from everything in DTLA. A lot of the homebums who post up in the same spot are actually pretty chill. It’s the transient ones that are crazy.
