See Navigating JSON Arrays and Predicates for more details and examples. If this evaluates to true, then the item is retained in the result sequence. If the predicate expression evaluates to any other value, then it is cast to a Boolean as if using the $boolean() function. If the predicate expression is an array of integers, or an expression that evaluates to an array of integers, then the items at those positions (zero offset) in the input sequence is the only item selected for the result sequence. If the number is non-integer, then it is rounded down to the nearest integer. If the predicate expression is an integer, or an expression that evaluates to an integer, then the item at that position (zero offset) in the input sequence is the only item selected for the result sequence. The filter operator (a.k.a predicate) is used to select only the items in the input sequence that satisfy the predicate expression contained between the square brackets. This operator is left associative meaning that the expression a.b.c.d is evaluated like ((a.b).c).d i.e. The combined result of the operator is returned.These values are appended to a combined array of results for the operator as a whole. The RHS expression is evaluated to produce a value or array of values (or nothing).It is also accessible in the RHS expression using the $ symbol. The value is known as the context and is used as the basis for any relative path expression on the RHS.For each value in the LHS array in turn:.If it evaluates to nothing (no match or empty array), then the result of the operator expression is nothing.If it evaluates to a single value, that is treated as equivalent to an array containing that single value.The expression on the LHS is evaluated to produce an array of values.The dot operator performs the following logic: It implements the 'for each' or 'map' function that is common in many functional languages. The dot operator is one of the fundamental building blocks in JSONata expressions. We’ve never seen this many homeless before.The path operators underpin the declarative nature of the map/filter/reduce processing model in JSONata. “Maybe they’re busier - busier with this problem. “Nowadays, we don’t hardly see them anymore. “Before the Metro came in, we used to see police often and felt safe,” Kwae said. Kwae uses Nest surveillance cameras outside the dance studio and regularly reports urination, defecation and petty theft among other crimes he has seen take place, and while police officers will often talk to the homeless people if they are still in the immediate area, nothing has been resolved permanently, he said. The 2019 San Gabriel Valley homeless count numbers have changed, in some cases, a lot here’s whyīut for Kwae and the dancers at Sonata Room, solutions aren’t coming soon enough.Homelessness up 24% in San Gabriel Valley, twice the rate across LA County.Homeless count: Alhambra’s homeless population increased slightly in 2019.In addition, the City Council approved a plan to “prevent and combat homelessness” a year ago that included extra training and funding for city staff departments to help better coordinate services for the homeless. These officers are authorized to work overtime to carry out the outreach, he added. “I’m not sure it’s fair to compare the numbers from prior years.” What solutions exist?įor nearly three years, the Arcadia Police Department has tasked its eight-officer Homeless Education and Liaison Program for twice-a-month outreach patrols to offer services and resources to homeless individuals living in the 11-square-mile city, Crowther said. “They were able to get a more accurate count,” Crowther said. Before 2019, Arcadia police did not take part in the homeless count.įor the 2019 count, officers accompanied the volunteers who typically conduct the count, to take them to places considered less safe where police know homeless spend the night, Crowther said. Part of the problem could be the perception that homelessness wasn’t a significant problem in Arcadia until this year, Crowther said. While Crowther said he believed the Gold Line had a hand in the increase in homelessness, it doesn’t account for the increases seen across the entire San Gabriel Valley. “And they are now creating both sanitation and safety issues.” “Because of the homeless overcrowding in (Downtown Los Angeles), there are unprecedented amounts of homeless now in the area,” Chang said in an email. The Gold Line met expectations in bringing more activity to locals businesses near the station, but that activity isn’t always positive, resident Lynn Chang said. In 2016, the Arcadia Metro Gold Line Station opened, and Arcadia police began seeing a marked increase in calls for service regarding homelessness than previously received, Sgt.
