I never said homeless people are committing these crimes. Countless studies show the link between a lack of economic opportunity and property crime. Homelessness is a proxy for lack of economic opportunity in these communities. If you don't like homeless as that proxy, here[1] is a list of the median income of various LA county neighborhoods. Union Station is situated where Lincoln Heights, Chinatown, and Downtown meet. Those are ranked 250th, 263rd, and 265th out of the 265 neighborhoods that were ranked. These are incredibly poor neighborhoods, especially in terms of income inequality compared to the rest of LA. Either way, I thought it was clear I was not "blaming" the homeless or the poor for these crimes. I am trying to highlight that these crimes are a symptom of a larger problem in which the people in these neighborhoods are the victim. And if this were part of organized crime, that invalidates Union Pacific's entire point of blaming the lack of prosecution. The government is perfectly willing to go after organized crime. It is the lower level property crime that they are pushing back on prosecuting.
