Wonder if Or what Google is doing about the homeless problem in reality? Editing the virtual world is Orwellian to say the least and potentially dangerous. Can you say ... Liability...
And of course they own youtube.
Probably doesn't need to be said but micro soft and go ogle are super creepy IMO, they are information collectors, manipulator and controllers.

Maybe we can get Google to do a drive by of the Hoover Bldg. in DC and make some of that slime go away.

If you're driving on the 57 Freeway through Anaheim and the wind is just right you can smell it.
The camps are bad enough but the problem with individual homelessness is everywhere you look in Southern California.

It is curious that if you go to Google Earth and look at that stretch of walkway (outside Angel's Stadium) there is nothing but the paved walkway and some grassless shoulder.
If you click "Street View" no "blue line" pops up in the walkway, as if no camera car, camera cart or camera biker had ever passed down the parkway. The nearest "blue line" is on the Orange Freeway (California Highway 57).
But if you click on the freeway "blue line" and go to street view, then pan to "look out over the railing" of the freeway you see the entire walkway lined with tents and tarps.
Does Google acknowledge doing this?

Surely you jest. 
Want to bet this makes headline news?

They are right now in the process of clearing out that huge homeless camp by the big A. Where those people will end up I don't know, but in a matter of days or weeks it should look exactly like the google map version posted upthread... vacant.
I live in the San Fernando Valley and work in downtown LA. The increase in the number of homeless people here just in the past few years is incredible.

Here in Colorado Springs, especially the last few weeks, there has been a large increase in out of control fires at the homeless camps with multiple injuries from exploding propane tanks...usually... Just what we need on red flag days. Green Belts have been turned into homeless camp areas with the resulting trash being astounding, warnings on needles for those involved in the clean up efforts. Sanitation....NOT.... Brought to you by that change and legal marijuana.
