Does anyone remember the good old days when everybody knew when trash pickup was you set your trash out not someone else's they come along and haul it off the landfill?

[@bobbymoss6160]

This is ridiculous. They should have the people who created this mess clean it up.

[@MrDan1509]

Yeah, we pay good money for maid services!

[@Coffee240]

And they just moved over two blocks, never ending . Crazy. It's amazing how fast they collect stuff being homeless and using drug's. And how do they move couches, furniture, mattress,,, crazy. Nasty. Glad they are cleaning it up.

[@mizzury54]

It should have never been allowed to get this bad. They should have never been allowed have a tent. There is an encampment by my house with one person and it is about 30 feet by 5 or 6 feet of absolute junk with one small tent he sleeps in. Spoiled food and food scraps all over the place. It's atrocious.

Good, clean reportage. Amazing to see all that abandoned stuff, including tents. Or did they leave the tents there? And all that trash! So many people expect others to clean up their messes.Seeing this, though, I'll get less annoyed when people throw cigarette butts into my yard!

[@mustlovedogs5569]

Imagine a big block of cubicles with no toilet that could be used overnight as housing. People are removed each morning at 8am and they are cleaned. They open again at 8pm.Just concrete stall with light. Seperate communal toilet not big enough to lay in

[@mustlovedogs5569]

How often they called to toilet block each night? People mostly keep to themselves. First in first served. Enough small pod blocks dotted round city for everyone. They basic not fancy. Only open night sleeping hours. Once in no out. Outer compound fence.

[@mustlovedogs5569]

Prob no real difference than what all the workers and police do already except it leaves the public toilets available for public toileting and provides a roof and locked door to sleep for homeless

Can't believe the attraction to Venice Beach, by deadbeats who have no means of support. Once a cleanup is accomplished, do these deadbeats just relocate in 'the hood' ? Or, do they leave Venice Beach . . . and, a new group of deadbeats arrive from Los Angeles and continue this 'process' . . providing continued 'clean up' work ? 😬 🇺🇲 😖

[@jrule19991]

likely the same people will return. this stretch of a block or two has been an ongoing sore point for years. I can tell you from experience that after the clean ups commonly by 5 pm the same people are back. First one comes then two, etc. Unless an area is fenced off it is helpless for a long term clean up

[@user_abcxyzz]

No homeless in the hood. In the hood people have projects. The homeless settle in desolate parts or working class lower end areas

Already thought they cleaned up Venice once before 🤭. I guess you will never get rid of cockroaches.

[@Liberal_From_Prairies689]

A lot of the tents don’t even belong to homeless, like in Vancouver, Canada in the downtown eastside, majority of tents are set up by drug addicts who come to neighbourhood to do drugs and have drug parties and use the tents to stash stolen stuff and junk, then after they done having their drug parties, they just leave the tents and all the junk, but then when police and the city try to clean it up, the stupid “advocates” who enable the drug addicts interfere and try to portray the police as “victimizing homeless people”, and film their provocations to try make police look bad. The enablers and “advocates” are a huge part of the problem these days, they’re the ones running our communities, and what bothers me the most is how the “advocates” and enablers aren’t even usually from the neighbourhoods that are dealing with these drug addicts in tents. These “advocates” come from rich neighbourhoods and try to dictate what should go on with the tents and drug addicts. They need to invite the drug addicts to their own neighbourhoods if they want to defend this garbage.

[@josemendez9740]

Phhh shit wait till Southpark gets their hands on this

[@trude_in_adelaide]

The city. Forcing homeless people. With minimal possessions. Less than 10 minutes sometimes. To gather as much as they can before they sweep the area. Not all are drug addicts. Some were accountants. Social workers. Some work. So can't get their stuff moved and come back to find all their postpone forever. Documents. Photos. Clothing. Food. Have a little empathy. You could be next. Hard times globally.

[@terryjames548]

The citizens of Santa Monica want their streets and sidewalks back. Lawbreaking invaders have no right to cause public mayhem, uncontrolled insanitary conditions, not to mention the infliction of personal and property crimes on the public. Handicapped folks need public access to sidewalks and streets currently being blocked illegally by aimless, dangerous, drug addicted chaotic individuals.
