REAL ESTATE NEWS

The sight of the tents of the homeless in DTLA is more than just unsightly. It is a red flag of worse things to come. Coronavirus is not the only plague LA needs to worry about. All sorts of rare and uncommon third world maladies are being spread among the unhoused across Los Angeles.

As the Loft Blog has reported several years ago, an L.A. Police detective was diagnosed with typhoid fever — a rare illness usually spread through contaminated water, as reported in the LA Times. At least five other officers who work in the same station also started showing symptoms of the sickness. The six cops work in the Central Division station, where an investigation into unsafe and unsanitary conditions led to $5,000 of fines. The division covers Skid Row and downtown LA — with the officers calling for the homeless encampments to be cleaned up to stop the spread of illness. Other cases in the area have seen cops diagnosed with hepatitis A and staph infections. It’s not just first responders who are at risk. An officer could take one of these illnesses home to his/her spouse and children.

As reported last fall by the LA Times, government officials are putting more money than ever before into finding housing for the region’s homeless population. Will it happen soon enough to save us from dire public health catastrophes? In the city of L.A. alone, Mayor Eric Garcetti is planning to spend nearly $1 billion to combat homelessness in the coming budget year, tapping huge new sources of state and federal aid, and finally ramping up construction of homes for the unhoused. NPR reports that only a regional solution will be effective. Cleaning up one encampment just pushes its occupants to move into a new location as seen in Venice Beach. #entarispowerful #DTLAHousing

Rodents and their parasites have made the real estate news this week. Before we all go running away from Downtown Los Angeles out of a fear that we are going to catch typhoid fever, let’s take a closer look at how the typhus outbreak is happening. Where is it coming from? Who has typhus? Where is it going? How to avoid it. #dtla #typhus #outbreak

Trash, rats and fleas cause typhus outbreak in Downtown Los Angeles — STOP THAT FLEA! Trash, rats, fleas cause typhus outbreak in Downtown Los Angeles

Downtown L.A. is not the only place with typhus problems lately, but it is the most prominent. About nine Downtowners have been diagnosed with the sickness caused by flea-related bacteria, but fortunately none of them have died because today’s antibiotics are very effective at killing the blood-borne germs. More than half of cases involve homeless persons and their homeless pets or nearby flea-ridden wild animals, such as rats.

As DTLA has large concentration of homeless in the trashy middle of the area near San Pedro and 6th Street, we can deduce that the areas further away from the center of Downtown are less likely to encounter typhus. The residents who live in cleaner neighborhoods near the outer edges of Downtown LA are less likely to catch typhoid fever.

The cleaner, safer outer districts include: South Park, Bunker Hill, Financial District, Civic Center, Chinatown, Lincoln Heights, Wilshire by Downtown and the Arts District. Bunker Hill Tower has almost no pets — only a few service animals.

Bunker Hill stands out as the Downtown district with the fewest homeless, with more natural barriers against infected animals. Providing a more healthy, comfortable lifestyle in an upscale neighborhood by the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Broad Museum and Center Theatre Group, Bunker Hill area condominium buildings include: Bunker Hill Tower, Promenade and Promenade West.
