Two months after publicly insulting #ServicesNotSweeps advocates at his disastrous State of the City address and one year after boasting that he was going to end street homelessness in LA by 2028, Eric Garcetti was conspicuously missing from this morning’s release of the 2019 Homeless Count.

Rather than showing up and looking any of his constituents in the eye as this devastating news was delivered, Garcetti chose to attend a graduation ceremony for his office’s Crisis Response Team, which “assists the LAPD and LAFD in crisis situations.”

He keeps tweeting about ending homelessness while rubbing elbows with the same people who terrorize unhoused Angelenos across the city and actively prevent anyone from helping, so we think he may have sustained a brain injury of some kind.
