Los Angeles business owner George Frem joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss how the housing crisis has impacted businesses within the county and his take on officials' handling of the issue.

Members of a Los Angeles nonprofit that received government funding in the past were seen handing out newto the homeless living on Skid Row, outraging some members of the community, according to a local report. Workers with Homeless Health Care Los Angeles were recorded on video by a resident of the neighborhood as they handed out the paraphernalia while driving around in a golf cart,Tony Anthony, the resident who recorded the video, told the station that he was shocked that this was happening in his neighborhood, arguing that passing out the pipes will only encourage addicts to get high.

"If you walk down Skid Row and see the people that are on methamphetamine … and got sores all over their body, their teeth falling out, bumps all over their face, running down the street butt naked, that’s no safety. They don’t need to be coming down here passing out these glass pipes," he said. Clean glass pipes for methamphetamine, like the one seen above, were being distributed by a nonprofit in the downtown Los Angeles neighborhood of Skid Row, according to a local report.
