How McArthur Park became LA’s fentanyl ground zero

From Sunday Morning, 11:37 am on 8 February 2026

MacArthur Park in Los Angles is a far cry from what used to be a safe green space for the community. It’s now overrun with hundreds of homeless and drug addicts, turning it into a dangerous crime hub. John Alle, who owns an entire block adjacent to the park, joins Jim Mora to give his first-hand account of the issue.
