Like everywhere else in LA, Sherman Oaks is now home to a significant number of chronically homeless people. These are not folks who just lost an apartment and are struggling to get back on their feet. These are people with mental problems, drug problems, alcohol problems, etc. who have been on the street for years and have no chance of helping themselves to get off it. They live on the sidewalk and the sidewalk is their bedroom and their bathroom.
