The homelessness crisis gripping Los Angeles is no longer confined to Skid Row but has spread rapidly to other areas of the city, including Koreatown, where residents are furious over a 50-person encampment that has hurt local businesses and turned away shoppers put off by urine and feces on the sidewalks - including in front of a preschool.
DailyMail.com obtained exclusive photos on Wednesday revealing tents and blue tarps lining the streets with garbage and human excrement along the intersection of Vermont Avenue and 4th Street.
The images show a neighborhood in complete disarray, with shopping carts, old luggage bags, broke-down bicycles and other detritus littering the streets and sidewalks. Graffiti can be seen scrawled across one of the makeshift tents, while an American flag flies limply overhead on a makeshift flagpole.
In another photo, a man can be seen working on one of many bicycles in the homeless encampment, right nearby the now-infamous 'wall of bicycles.'
