What was billed as a showdown over Los Angeles' homelessness crisis fell apart almost as soon as it began, collapsing after just two minutes, the New York Post reported Friday.
The event disintegrated amid a power struggle that derailed whatever agenda organizers had planned, turning a moment meant to confront one of the city's most stubborn problems into a spectacle of dysfunction.
Los Angeles' homelessness crisis has long been a flashpoint for the city's leadership, with encampments, public safety, and spending on services all under intense scrutiny. Friday's implosion offered little in the way of solutions and plenty of ammunition for critics of City Hall.
