Baskets and Tents.

- Abstract
But who cares, as long as the movies keep rolling and the stars keep getting 10 million a picture and as long as the Lakers and the Clippers and the Dodgers and the Rams keep on winning, and the big multimillion-dollar contracts are sighed, and the billion-dollar stadiums and arenas are built on the backs of the people while the billion-dollar owners use the teams like cash machines. Many of the tents are on main streets next to or around the corner from the million-dollar condos that are going up like stalks reaching far into the sky as if to get away from what is below. A small city of the homeless 60 to 70 thousand, has become a permanent fixture in Lalla land, add this to the tour after driving down from the Hollywood hills from the million-dollar mansions of the stars.
