Can Parking Lots Become a Safe Haven for L.A.'s Homeless?
The city is considering an initiative that will open up empty lots to those who sleep in their vehicles.
At night, many of Los Angeles’s parking lots sit empty, while the estimated 9,500 homeless people who live out of their vehicles rove city streets looking for a place where they can legally park and get some sleep.
What they generally find, however, are various restrictions on overnight parking or on oversized vehicles.
