But $10-an-hour jobs don't cut it in one of the most expensive corners of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fortunately, I had friends I could stay with for a few months, but when they sold their home, that was it,\" Hogan says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended up camping along with hundreds of others in a sprawling tent city in a dried-up riverbed. \"My experience has taught me one thing,\" Hogan says. \"The most discriminated group of people, at least in America, are the poor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hogan could easily be the poster child of the Southern California homelessness crisis. As housing costs skyrocket, and the income inequality gap widens, the problem has spread from more traditional enclaves like Los Angeles into affluent coastal areas in places like Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/597707663/597750754\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County is now under federal pressure to address what homeless advocates in court filings have called a humanitarian crisis. A federal judge agreed.

On Tuesday, chartered buses ferried hundreds of local residents to protest outside the Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They chanted \"No Tent City!\" and waved signs that read \"No Drugs Near Our Schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KirkSiegler/status/978670529962958848\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not all homeless people are bad but certain ones are,\" said Cheryl Nakano, of Irvine. \"It's just not safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nakano said this wasn't a \"not in my backyard issue.\" She wants to see the county find a long-term solution to help the homeless: \"Not just dumping them in tent cities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some protesters also said tackling homelessness has never been a top political priority in Orange County, one of the richest and traditionally more politically conservative counties in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're all sorry,\" said Todd Spitzer, Orange County supervisor, at a public hearing Tuesday. \"We know we can do better, we're a smart county, we're an influential county, the nation is watching us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with protesters chanting outside, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11658250/orange-county-bows-to-pressure-abandons-plans-to-house-homeless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the county voted to rescind its plans\u003c/a> — for now — to build three new emergency shelters. After the 4-0 vote, there was a chorus of boos mixing with loud applause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Housing is not a human right,\" said Arthur Shopper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wearing a red \"Make America Great Again\" hat, Shopper spoke during a lengthy and often heated public comment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Expecting the government to solve every single problem is precisely why we are in the mess we are right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The supervisors did commit to fast-tracking spending of more than $50 million in previously unspent dollars to help the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11658544\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11658544\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/siegler-homeless-encampment-2_wide-44ba3127ebe15352decd833fbc6c3005e9e5234a-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Orange County officials rescinded plans to establish three temporary shelters on county land near the ocean.

A policeman in a nearby squad car monitored the camp. Nearby, an official temporary county shelter was open and bustling inside a converted bus terminal. Dozens of people slept on row after row of cots. Some of the shelter's residents had stacked up their backpacks and shopping carts full of their belongings outside the entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The temporary shelter was first opened in November 2016, and county health officials say demand has quickly outpaced the space allotted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Hogan said he stayed there for a few nights, but it was too crowded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is the most disgraceful thing in a county like Orange County, one of the most affluent counties in the country,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hogan says he has recently been able to line up housing on his own, and he plans to move off the streets soon.

Proctor said he shot Glenn because he was going for his partner’s gun during a struggle just off the Venice boardwalk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beck said investigators found no evidence to support his claim. Footage from a nearby bar’s surveillance camera did not show Glenn’s hands near the officers’ guns. And Proctor’s own partner said he never felt any jerking movements or saw Glenn’s hand near his gun, according to the chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lacey disagreed: “Proctor may have reasonably believed that Glenn was reaching for his partner’s weapon,” according to a statement from the DA’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After an independent and thorough review of all the evidence in this case, we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer Proctor did not act within the law,” Lacey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KPCC, Lacey said “there’s no video taken from the angle where Officer Proctor was during the struggle.

Such reports on officer-involved shootings typically run less than 10 pages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike many police shootings, which often occur late at night with few witnesses, there was a substantial amount of evidence in this one. In addition to the video from the bar’s surveillance camera, there was an officer’s body-cam video, 10 civilian eyewitnesses and DNA, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lacey also took the unusual step of obtaining the opinion of a nationally recognized use-of-force expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11654787\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11654787\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/Glenn-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A friend of Brendon Glenn wears a t-shirt with his photo.

Proctor said he shot Glenn because he was going for his partner’s gun during a struggle just off the Venice boardwalk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beck said investigators found no evidence to support his claim. Footage from a nearby bar’s surveillance camera did not show Glenn’s hands near the officers’ guns. And Proctor’s own partner said he never felt any jerking movements or saw Glenn’s hand near his gun, according to the chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lacey disagreed: “Proctor may have reasonably believed that Glenn was reaching for his partner’s weapon,” according to a statement from the DA’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After an independent and thorough review of all the evidence in this case, we cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer Proctor did not act within the law,” Lacey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Members of the Los Angeles Police Commission signaled Tuesday that they want the LAPD to find ways to reduce the number of homeless people it cites and arrests for minor offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers arrested more than 6,000 homeless people last year for misdemeanors like trespassing, drug offenses and failing to appear in court, according to a department report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to see fewer arrests, fewer citations,\" said Commissioner Shane Murphy Goldsmith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAPD brass defended the arrest numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We use it as a last resort,\" said Chief Charlie Beck, adding he believes officers will become more skilled over time at finding ways to avoid arresting homeless people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beck also foresaw a growing role for the department in Los Angeles' effort to tackle the homelessness crisis. He said as soon as the city is ready to provide more homeless services, he’ll be ready to assign more officers to help people get those services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cmdr. Dominic Choi -- who leads the LAPD’s efforts to combat homelessness -- said officers arrest people only after repeated warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How can we reduce the number? The way to do that is to house those individuals,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But homelessness has been growing faster than the amount of housing, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing shelter for the chronically homeless in L.A.

Their message to adults: You haven’t done enough to stop gun violence. Students across the country are staging demonstrations, rallies and walkouts, calling for lawmakers to take stronger action or face consequences at the polls this fall. We talk to two students to find out what Bay Area youth are doing to get their voices heard.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lily Conable, Encinal High School junior\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maxwell Stern, Oakland Tech High School freshman\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>New Strategies for Gun Control Advocates\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the wake of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, gun control advocacy organization Giffords released a TV ad criticizing Florida Gov.

In June, San Francisco voters will elect a new mayor. But until then, Farrell will face a number of challenges, including rising homelessness as the city struggles to build more affordable housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guest: Mayor Mark Farrell, City of San Francisco\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Preview: California Democratic Convention\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This weekend, Democrats convene one last time before the June primary.

Their message to adults: You haven’t done enough to stop gun violence. Students across the country are staging demonstrations, rallies and walkouts, calling for lawmakers to take stronger action or face consequences at the polls this fall. We talk to two students to find out what Bay Area youth are doing to get their voices heard.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lily Conable, Encinal High School junior\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maxwell Stern, Oakland Tech High School freshman\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>New Strategies for Gun Control Advocates\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the wake of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, gun control advocacy organization Giffords released a TV ad criticizing Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s record on gun control. We talk to Giffords’ executive director, Peter Ambler, on what kind of change his organization wants to see. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last month, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors appointed Mark Farrell as mayor, ousting Board of Supervisors President London Breed, who served as acting mayor following the sudden death of Mayor Ed Lee in December. In June, San Francisco voters will elect a new mayor. But until then, Farrell will face a number of challenges, including rising homelessness as the city struggles to build more affordable housing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
