How to use SKID in a sentence?
Most people think of an addict as you know, skid row, or homeless living on the street.
There's no doubt that in the short run, this will reduce the number of encampments on Skid Row and increase property values, but in the long run, I fear it could make things worse by serving as an excuse to turn to police to clear people off sidewalks.
The shelters and the missions here, they give food and clothes to draw people in to get the services to that help people get on their feet -- like drug programs, alcohol programs, domestic violence program, job programs, but many of the folks from here won't use them, because they're getting their needs met on the streets of Skid Row.
This is where people's good intentions go in Skid Row, people donate clothes, and they're thrown in Los Angeles Street. People urinate, defecate in Los Angeles Street. Nobody cleans it up.
Skid Row has become less transient, the history of skid row goes back to a transient neighborhood associated with the railroad. The true definition of transient is short term. Now it's long term. It's become a neighborhood.
