A staggering one million Los Angeles residents have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives, according to a new USC study. The annual L.A. Barometer survey reveals a gut-wrenching snapshot of housing struggles in America’s second-largest city, where tent-lined streets and skyrocketing rents dominate daily life.
Rent Hikes Force Relocations
Nearly 29% of L.A. County residents who moved last year did so because they couldn’t afford their homes anymore—picture that next time you scroll through Zillow! With median rents hovering around $3,000, the city’s affordability crisis is hitting like a Marvel movie villain—relentless and hard to ignore.

As November elections approach, voters will decide on new policies aimed at tackling homelessness. Will these measures be the 'Avengers assemble' moment L.A. needs? Advocates say systemic change is overdue, but critics argue solutions must balance compassion with practicality.
The report underscores a harsh truth: In a city famed for sunshine and Hollywood glam, the American Dream feels more like a mirage for many.
