“Experts keep saying … it’s a housing crisis. But we see it every day with our own eyes. When you see somebody who is passed out in their vomit or someone who is covered in feces and urine—and there are needles and there’s filth on the streets—that’s not poverty. That’s mental illness. And that’s drug addiction. And it’s very violent.” In this episode, I sit down with Soledad Ursua, an elected board member of the Venice Neighborhood Council and a local resident of Venice Beach, California, which has experienced an unprecedented rise in homelessness and crime. “The policies that are set forth, all they do is guarantee that people who are living on our streets are going to die on our streets,” Ursua says.
