This is true as we saw with CD1 candidate Jesse Rosas' website.
Residents on skid row who watch over the air television broadcasts may be out of luck when television goes digital in June. A quirk in Federal law prohibits the FCC from sending the coupons to residents of SRO hotels, group homes or non-profit housing. Most Skid Row denizens don't have the money to purchase the converter boxes themselves nor to get cable.
