    In 1888, more than 300 private acres of land on LA's Westside were donated for the use of American veterans. So why are 6000 veterans homeless in local neighborhoods while part of the land is used for commercial purposes?

Also, 32 hours and 15 transfers from San Francisco to Los Angeles -- on local transit. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, what's next for the US in Afghanistan?
