RAND Corporation@RANDCorporation

The number of unsheltered people and related vehicles, tents, and makeshift structures we found averaged:

➝ 1,358 in Skid Row
➝ 685 in Hollywood

Most people today have no idea who I am. When I write or express my opinion, it is not because I read some book, watched the news or like playing Monday morning quarterback. I think it might surprise many of you just how deep into the game I was.
