I like how the city is worrying about this, but the criminals and the homeless can run free

@knuclear200x Wrong. During the first few months of covid pandemic the homeless issue was actually fixed when we put all the homeless in vacant hotels. Right after covid stops we threw them back on the street. So homelessness was fixed for like a year or so
One of the most lifelike murals I've ever seen, especially one so big and spread out like that. Dudes definitely a really good artist in my book.👏👍
What’s wrong with these Politicians! So annoying!
oh yeah that’s definitely what the city & state need to worry about

So graffiti is OK in LA, but nice murals that represent the city are not? They should've just painted on a bus. It would last longer 😂
City needs to get its priorities straight , especially in Vernon/commerce area , that part of the city is ROTTING AWAY, I have to drop my gf off to work there and I worry for her safety even with an armed guard and a gate , the homeless are right outside the gate living like it’s blade runner or some dystopia
Beautiful artwork.
Owners just don't OWN anymore...homeowners either!....this is an unbelievable piece of art work!...please do not destroy it
Where’s the petition? Should’ve put the link in the description…
The permit is what the city is mad about. Nobody asked the citys permission or paid them money. They need to name names in these complaints. Name the complainers...... give them some spotlight.
So the mural is a problem but the crime and the homeless is ok. I'm signing the petition today, good looking out.
You can only have murals like that in Watts, Compton, Lynwood, downtown LA. They should’ve done the research before hand.

In the city of LA, there are numerous murals on buildings facing the street. And how is this different than billboards facing the street? Those are designed to distract you.
Complains are usually from wypipo, the result of gentrification.

They're not supposed to be like that. If they are, then maybe you should quote freedom of the press. That mural isn't hurting anybody.
The mural apparently is more important than the escalating crime, homelessness and rampant drug dealing in their neighborhoods.

Is there a way to remove the blocks without damaging the mural? I’m pretty sure it can be done without part of the shop caving in.

Unbelievable. Leave this mural alone. My god. I guess it's OK to see homeless camped out on all these streets though and abandoned buildings. Really bellflower government 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Just a normal day in LA.
Keep it up Please someone post ther address I'd 💜to see it in person .

Simply pass a law and "variance" so the mural can stay in that unique and universal spot. But no other may be created on main streets. This one is different. It's done. Keep it.

It’s sucks that in this day and age .. the city is more concern about this mural .. this mural shows a lot of unity .. tell me what other city in any state has ever had stuff like this .. the city can bend the rules for this but There’s a lot of racist bastards that say other wise .. the only reason they want to take it down is because it says Mexicanos .. this is a positive message to anyone living in this city .. so the city has the power to change the rules
Looks like compton now
No Asian, racial discrimination, thus must take down.
