Angels and Demons

I am a resident of a special place originally referred to as La Ciudad de la Reina de los Angeles (The City of the Queen of the Angels). Nowadays, we refer to this city of angels simply as Los Angeles.

In terms of both Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the number of financially wealthy people living here, Los Angeles is one of the richest cities in the world. In terms of diversity in peoples and cultures, I can’t imagine a richer place. And yet despite all its wealth, the City of Angels is the homeless capital of the United States.

There are an estimated 40,144 homeless people living in the city of Los Angeles on any given night (or nearly 74,000 if you take all of L.A. County into consideration).

the demons of drug and alcohol abuse are the main reasons

Indeed, that demon that makes us insensitive and aloof to our brothers’ and sisters’ problems is the worst demon of them all.
