Description :
In earlier decades, the concentration and central location of the Skid Row hotels fastered a variety of economic and social resources that enabled poor residents to obtain and protect a modest degree of autonomy. The destruction of these hotels in the 1960s and 1970s wiped out these communities for the very poor. Today, they seek shelter throughout the city.
