It’s a new low for Los Angeles.Some people in the City of Angels have taken to living in storm drains as the city’s homelessness crisis spirals out of control.

Footage showed the horrifying conditions of sewers in South LA, where overflowing trash, human waste and an “unbearable” smell met witnesses at the scene, Fox 11 reported.

One woman was even seen emerging from a drain where a dog house was used to conceal the opening.

Juan Naula, who has gained a following for clearing trash in LA on behalf of his Clean LA With Me nonprofit, said he couldn’t fathom why someone would live in such conditions. He spotted two people exiting the sewers while cleaning them Monday.

“A person living like a rat — worse than a rat,” he told Fox 11.

Naula said he has come across people living in storm drains before, and called the city to fix the problem.

“Are you kidding me? It’s a human being. Why are we accepting this?” he said. “All the officials — they have to do something. This person doesn’t deserve to live like this.”

Neighbor Latoia Thomas reiterated that action needed to be taken.

“It pisses me off … we need your help,” she told Fox 11. “The public here needs that.”

In a statement to the outlet, a spokesperson for LA Mayor Karen Bass called the situation “tragic and unacceptable” while noting that homelessness has dropped 17% on the mayor’s watch.

The city promised to clean the inhabited storm drains up on Tuesday.

“What we saw there is hard to forget,” FOX 11’s Matthew Seedorff reported.
