Honestly, I'm not even shocked. Are you?

More from Chris Rufo at City Journal about what the outlet's undercover investigators found at the Skid Row Care Campus, a "homeless-services site" in Los Angeles (that's a real phrase I just typed).
Across several visits, we obtained drug-testing strips, syringes, and crack pipes. One worker told us that while drug use isn't allowed on-site, we 'wouldn't be bothered' if we got high just outside — unless we overdosed.
The entire campus takes a 'low-touch' approach. In addition to staple items that many homeless shelters offer — food, laundry, some medical care — the site offers services like doggie daycare, meditation on the lawn, and 'valet' cart parking.
Even the homeless druggies have doggie daycare, yoga, and "valet" parking. It's so on-brand for California!
The Skid Row site launched in 2025. The campus and its services are run by a group of nonprofits committed to harm reduction, including one that laments the 'long-standing criminalization of substance use.'
For these left-wing groups, the site has become a massive cash cow. The campus is listed as a federally funded health center and reportedly pulls in around $26 million a year in local, state, and federal dollars. One of its service providers, Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, has seen its revenue more than double since 2020, jumping to $27 million last year. Another, Wesley Health Centers (JWCH Institute), has seen revenues more than double to $200 million in five years.
A source in the LAPD says the site is incentivizing crazies and addicts to flock to the area, and that's causing increased crime (who could have guessed??).
There have been four murders in the neighborhood this year, and police have been called 1,200 times.
If only the meth-heads had free dental care. That would solve the problem, right?

In 2025, President Trump signed an executive order that mandated a review of federally funded "harm reduction" sites, or locations where authorities attempt to keep addicts alive by teaching them "safe" drug use.
But as it turns out, teaching people to inject themselves with poison "safer" is just teaching them how to, well, poison themselves.
Our trip to Skid Row made one thing unmistakably clear: in California, harm reduction facilitates drug abuse.
California taxpayers: you are funding the drug-zombie apocalypse!
