Judges aren't kings. In the United States there is a separation of powers for a reason. Skid Row is a failure of the executive and legislative branches in California. California voters have perpetuated this failure by continually re-electing them.

Yes, and the reason is to mitigate failure in any one branch.

More particularly, it's a failure of the executive and legislative branches in LA. But it's, among other things, a failure of them to obey the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment to the federal Constitution, which is remediable by federal judicial intervention.
