The proliferation of homeless encampments on Venice Beach has sparked an outcry from residents and created a political spat in Los Angeles. Residents are frustrated and angry over government inaction that allowed the camps to blossom during the pandemic.
People ride their bikes past a homeless encampment set up along the boardwalk in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles, Tuesday, June 29, 2021. The proliferation of homeless encampments on Venice Beach has sparked an outcry from residents and created a political spat among Los Angeles leaders.
An effort to house homeless people and remove clutter that proliferated is nearing completion. But residents upset over government inaction that allowed the problem to get out of control are warily watching how it unfolds and whether the cleanup takes hold.A problem once largely limited to the Skid Row section of downtown has spread to virtually all parts of Los Angeles.
A live-and-let-live ethos long prevailed in the gritty bohemian beach community of bungalows that in recent years became home to the wealthy as tech companies have moved in and sleek modern homes have gone up. Neal, who recently armed himself with a club to get to his car after he said he was almost assaulted, said he worries about his tenants.
“There’s a time when you have to call people out and just cut through the BS,” he said. “This is that moment in history for the entire region to say, ‘Enough is enough. Let’s get the job done.’” One of the main questions is whether people will accept housing and stay there. A similar effort to remove a large encampment near Penmar Golf Course — a public nine-hole course about a mile from Venice Beach — succeeded in clearing the area but many people ended up back on the streets.
