Los Angeles County authorities have accused neighboring cities of taking homeless people to its streets, with City Council President Paul Krekorian telling NBC News that other jurisdictions "prefer to just push people into Los Angeles rather than addressing the problem themselves."

To illustrate the ongoing practice, he said that a man had been dropped off in front of his office last week, and that the person said he'd become homeless while living outside of Los Angeles. He did not provide further proof of continued actions of the kind but said his office is aware of similar cases involving the county's Sheriff's Department.
