CON ARTIST? WTF are you talking about? How does exposing a problem long overlooked by a corrupt City being a con artist? I know Sam and I can tell you there is nothing superficial, egotistical, selfish or self centered about him. You should check your facts before you decide to go online and defame one of the most selfless people I know. The fact still remains that there is a huge homeless problem and there's been very little don, even the mission's efforts are substantially to late in the real timeline of the homeless problem in Downtown Los Angeles. I know I've spent my 33 years on this planet in the jungles of skid row, south central and watts.
PEACE SAM! THE PROBLEM WILL NOT GO AWAY WITH SIMPLE RHETORIC!
