Venice Homeless Encampment Clean-up Update
City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works sanitation workers in white hazardous materials suits clear-out two homeless tents at the Venice Beach Homeless Encampment, Thursday, July 15, 2021. The homeless encampment clearing is being completed in stages and broken down into 5 zones. The last zone is scheduled to be removed by July 30.
HOUSING OPTIONS:
Outreach workers have been out at Venice Beach regularly, offering housing to people residing at the Beach. Outreach workers will continue to be present in each zone prior to the listed cleanup day to connect the unhoused with
these housing options. Sufficient housing options exist for anyone who was living at the beach on or
before June 25, 2021. If unhoused need help moving belongings, assistance will be provided. Transportation to the housing site is available at no charge to the unhoused.

This is something to recognize as a Celebration!!! People have to be responsible in many ways. Maybe family members will resolve their difficulties. Maybe people will work more than one job or quit collecting disability illegally. it will deter crime and health issues. Celebrate we are claiming OR reclaiming our self responsibilities and not becoming victims to mass propaganda that destroys the human spirit. We are fighting for our freedom not to become animals and degenerates. it will STOP the infestation of diseases spread through drug use and immoral behavior. CELEBRATE!! THIS IS NOT SAD! We are becoming free and strong again. These people are taking action and it's beautiful. Now the trash is gone Nature is on display once again. ThanK you for recognizing this must be done. These people cleaning up deserve Christmas Bonuses!! CELEBRATE!
PLEASE DON'T LET THAT SHIT HAPPEN AGAIN.

One thing that might work is as soon as a tent goes up, it gets taken down. Not even give them an overnight to get a foothold.
It's amazing that it takes a battle between public officials to make LA City clean up public spaces.

Its probably a homeless person that stole someones uniform after he took it off to use the John. He couldn't pass up an opportunity to get some more free garbage. I bet he weighs no more than 120 pounds. All the rest is goodies he's stuffed in that suit.
The reason most people there are homeless is because they don't like to follow rules. In Ontario a few years back the city provided a homeless camp. First they implemented a no drugs or alcohol rule most of them left, And then no pets rule the rest left and it closed down.
