Just a few blocks from LA's City Hall, in the middle of downtown is LA's Skid Row. It has one of the largest concentrations of homeless people in the U.S. At night, Skid Row is like a shanty town, with tents crowding the sidewalks. But that's becoming a problem, now that downtown is going through a huge hipster gentrification.

Listen to the first in the California Report's series about how LA is rethinking Skid Row and the 60,000 homeless people who live in the city.
