Skid Row is the epicenter of homelessness in Los Angeles, which is to say that Skid Row is the epicenter of homelessness in the United States. A 2011 count recorded 23,539 homeless people in L.A., 4,316 of which were in the Skid Row area. The problem is nothing new, at this point, it's taken as a given.

Skid Row certainly needs many things. What it’s getting this weekend is a hip hop concert.
