DAY 2: Major Homeless Encampment Cleanup in Venice

[@normanott644]

Rain, natures cleanser .

[@williamschlenger1518]

Snow would end it.

Knock knock... Who's there?? It's the Sheriff and the Tax Collector🤗

[@jamessimmonds3773]

That claw seemed like it was more trouble then it was worth. A regular rear load and crew do this in half the time with a better compaction.

[@hearsay17]

Love it!!! Is time to do something. If they don't listen take action. Enough is enough!

[@Alex-Defatte]

Once again I must say It's so beautiful to watch as they take back the streets.

[@chinaskee1015]

Homelessness is caused by rents being so overpriced that a single person now needs to make about 2,000 a week just to afford a bachelors apartment. Those of you who you who want to blame it on drugs are just ignorant and not nearly as smart as you think you are.

[@RealLifeAsheville2024]

I want to feel sorry for them ,but in my lifetime I know as long as people are giving Ca$h to them and enabling the drug and other addictions this problem they named “Homelessness” will never end!

[@donnalynnprior52]

Awesome job LA! Day 2 of getting some folks off the street and into housing. Accolades to St Joseph's! I don't live in the USA, and if I'm watching, so is the rest of the world, and I want to say, keep going LA!! Thanks for showing us Fabian!

[@kha58]

Why don’t they stop it before it gets so established? Come each day and clean up not weekly.

[@SirBlueWhale]

Good job documenting and shout out to the sanitation workers for keeping the streets clean! These folks, regardless of housing, are our fellow Americans and at a very dark place in their lives. It doesn't cost anything to show compassion for the less fortunate amongst us. That being said, I hope they're reaching out to the services designed to get them back up on their feet and vice-versa. Part of dehumanization is normalizing homelessness and poverty. In a nation as capable as our's, this must end. The sooner, the better off everyone will be. ☮️

[@billkallas1762]

Hampton Drive, yet again. At least, after this rain, it will smell better.

[@marjorieallard6665]

The homeless I feel for, are the ones who work full-time, yet unable to get an apartment because rents are so high. They are high everywhere. I live 30 miles west of Boston and 1 bedroom is 1800 a month or higher.

[@TruthSerum525]

I agree. The trouble is, the more you coddle the bums, it draws thousands more to get a free ride. Look at how many times they have cleaned up this same street. Free housing will only attract more bums. If these people truly WANT and need help, then they should be required to work. Any job…street cleaning, graffiti removal, park maintenance, ect.

[@lutomson3496]

I rented a room when I had little money the problem is these bums can't be roommates it's all about them and free money from the government and I was homeless at one time it was a means to an end not a lifestyle

[@edsmith736]

How many days has it been since the last clean-up at this location ?

[@sarbantz]

Street homeless live very simple and modest life. These just wanted to enjoy beach as therapy for addiction. They don't need much, so they don't ask for much. It's minimalist type of life. They simply find a camping spot, and that becomes their new home. They prefer to be left alone as they are, and the only thing they really want is to be as close as possible to their fentanyl dealers. 99% of street homeless are fentanyl addicts. Large majority of them will simply die from fentanyl overdose, or drugs related violence. Very sad and heartbreaking.

[@billkallas1762]

Less than a week.

[@sharonguzman5762]

Amazing how much stuff they accumulate between cleaning.

[@edsmith736]

@@sarbantz There is help available for each one of these people. Taxpayers pay for it all. Living like this is their choice, no one is forcing them. Clean your ass up , get a job (there is plenty), I quit going to that area because of this filth. Glad to see a effort to clean it up. GOOD JOB

[@LuisMendez-hx7tl]

As far I know all year, but they keep coming back, homeless don’t want to be inside free one room locations.

[@AlanMedina314]

Warning -All Tents placed on City streets are subject to forfeiture and disposal.

[@cindyivanoff7264]

I'd like to know where they get the tents and covers that they have. Need to get them off the side walks so people can use them.I don't think I'd want to be on side walk, I would be away from people more private.

[@SirBlueWhale]

Most likely from the local Walmart or wherever sells them for relatively cheap. They're just temporary coverage to provide a bit of privacy and sense of safety.

[@jackwilson8051]

I think the city gives them away

[@marjorieallard6665]

Churches and other organizations give them out with blankets

[@dtna]

Don't know about SM. But Richard Riordan, the former mayor and owner of the Pantry Cafe started to give them out to the homeless in L.A..

[@isntrael]

Why even ask for consent. They dont even own the area they are living on. Everything in the trash.

[@jeanettenorman7052]

Round and round and round - same old stuff. What a total waste of Tax Payers bucks.

[@lindajohnson5833]

Where do they get those tents? Some of them look new!

[@stefanboster5728]

Some would say that they should be placed under ‘custodial detainment’ and be allowed to take only what they can carry.. Everything else gets trashed.. On a side note, the chances are high that all the bikes are stolen..

[@terryken12]

Them homeless can really trash a area, cali is being nice, in my city they were woken by a welcoming committee, a front end loader and several rolloff dumpsters. They relocated to a area the loader couldn't get in but it's state land and a law was just passed making it illegal to camp on state land.

[@Underledge]

The city must have land it owns where the homeless can set up their camps/tents, etc. Camping - living on public walks and roadways should be forbidden. Let those that support this lifestyle provide services there.

[@clottadams5028]

Do they never pressure wash the sidewalk off? Or have a street sweeper clean the curb area? The workers are only supplied with rakes (cheap ones at that) and containers without wheels, but not any push brooms or dustpans so they can get all the paper trash and dirt? I'm just a regular person and I have better hand tools than what LA is giving the workers to clean with.
