To clarify- your right side has a normally working ear? Do you tend to rotate your head to the left so that ear faces forward a bit?

Hi /u/fiftysandwiches

If you haven't been, you need to check out Venice Beach, Los Angeles. It's very unique because it's the only city I've seen where the homeless are someone respected and seen as part of the community's culture. There are certainly many that fear and dislike the homeless but there is also a respect. I think it stems from the Venice boardwalk where many (along with non-homeless) perform and sell items. The area has become a tourist destination famous for its grimy but unique culture. I personally have never felt unsafe around them because most are quite friendly. But many people I know do feel unsafe as they probably would around any homeless areas. This area has a huge number of homeless. In addition to the ~100 on the boardwalk there are many more throughout the area. I've talked to several. One story I heard was this man was given a bus trip here from Kansas city. I would assume that story is not unique and may partially explain the large numbers.

Edit: I now see that you did visit LA. Did you get to Venice? Do you agree with my assessment?
