I checked the CA BAR website and that motorhome was consistently smogged every other year from 1998 to 2010 then nothing for 12 years then August 31, 2022 where it passed. For what it is worth.

[@Thunderbyrd.]

Not his first, second, or even third warning to move it. They give these RV's several notices and plenty of time but he chose to ignore them or to ignore them until the tow truck showed up. At first he said "they" cut his wires and then he said he needed a battery. He created way too much drama. People, police, (me) don't want to work with anyone who is yelling, cussing, running around waving their arms. All in all he was able to drive if off.

[@laurieclark2456]

Ya. I wonder if these people are on drugs

[@LOLman21213]

an RV has been on my street a year in Venice. City puts up pamphlets just like in this video to pressure the RV to move. It doesn't. It just sits there while all these cleaners/parking enforcement/ cops stand around it. You can smell the piss 15 ft away. Parking enforcement just jokes around with him. He pops the hood and says he can't move it. Surrounding the RV guy had 2 other vans, which he moved. The city will probably name this street after him. Incompetent

[@dianadunne7673]

Prob one of those guys that get these RVs for free, park ‘em and rent them out real cheap. It’s quite the lucrative business….

[@kingleo8422]

This is upsetting. The city is LA caused this homeless crisis because it’s so expensive to live there. Just let them move their camper.

[@Dagamerjay916]

Riiiggghhhttt!!!

[@RvDavy]

Go pay $180 for 7 months in quartzite az they have trash dump water for those who pay

[@jefftucker4422]

Sounded like a lot of excuses to me !! you are the sum total of the choices that you made yesterday!!!

[@palmermarini720]

Same old story I did nothing wrong he knows exactly what he’s doing

[@williamzander4732]

The reason they call them RV because it stands for rental vehicle they park on the street and rent the hood .😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevemundy9886]

Go pay for space at a RV park city streets are not camp grounds election years the weak leader ship has to show they are doing something when they should do it every day move this crap of the streets

[@lelandkelley2199]

These people living in RVs on the LA streets should get jobs and rent a home .

[@eximusic]

Wow, you just solved homelessness. Good job.

[@danielgbrittonsr8921]

Wow, i'll bet you stayed up all night to come up with that idea.

[@rhondagrace1370]

Yeah right, not that easy especially with the high rent with under paid jobs.

[@morphergaming0531]

I dont have a problem with them RVing but they must remain legal and responsible, tags, license, insurance, and move by the parking guidelines. These are the same people who get apartments, dont pay the rent, destroy the apartment and grounds. The public cant give them self pride but we shouldn't have to tolerate their lack of it either

[@lynnbaker2336]

As a formerly homeless person, the answers are all so simple when one is on the outside looking in.

[@deano.7533]

I lived in and around the Santa Monica Beach/Venice Beach area for a very long time. The thing about the area where that guy was parked is those apartments and the few single family dwellings are very old. Pre- WW-2. Those buildings have little to no private parking spaces for the residents. So most of the residents are forced to rely on street parking. It's a monumental headache, and when the beach is crowded, forget it... and the beach is crowded a lot. You can't find parking. I'm shocked that those people were able to keep their RV's parked there for over a year and a half. Back in the day that would have never been allowed. The cops and Bruffy's Tow would have taken his RV after one week. I know it's become a huge problem now-a-days, but believe me... Venice Beach has always had a serious homeless problem. I'd come home in the early morning hours after work and I'd have to step over all of the homeless people sleeping on the porch of my building just to get into my apartment. Dealing with the homeless has always been a part of living in Venice Beach since the 1960's when POP (Pacific Ocean Park) was still in operation in Venice/SM. When I lived on Brooks and Speedway a couple blocks from Horizon and Speedway where this guy was getting towed I would come home after work at 2:30 or 3:00 AM and I wouldn't be able to find a parking space anywhere near where I lived. It was sketchy walking home in the wee morning hours because I couldn't find a space near where I lived. The idea that people living in RV's want to park there full time? That's nuts. Parking in that area is so hard to find that I wouldn't want to drive on the weekends if I had a parking space close to home. People would call and say come over and lets do something, and I'd answer... "No I can't, I don't want to lose my parking space." The parking problem was the main reason why I moved out of Venice Beach. I liked living a half a block from the ocean, but the parking problem was ridiculous. Back in those days anywhere you went you had to be careful about what part of Venice Beach you were walking in after the sun went down. Anywhere east of the beach, just past Electric Avenue, between Lincoln Blvd, Rose Ave, and Venice Blvd, was considered Ghost Town. You could lose your life going in there, especially at night. So parking was scarce in the safer area's closer to the beach "We gonna walk down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher." Wasn't a joke. That song actually meant something. The fact that this guy was squatting in a parking spot for over a year and a half? That's not only rude and inconsiderate towards the people that live there, it's just plain ignorant. He could have bought that battery the day before and drove his backside out of there before the cops ever showed up. But back when I lived there if he brandished a weapon and beat up a resident he'd still be in the county lock-up to this very day. I'm glad I don't live there anymore. :-I

[@charlenewadsworth4726]

Thats right keep Cali clean.

[@Saunders7]

Broken down for days

[@High12083]

That dude guy with the battery, he really got a biggest motor mouth

[@rogerleonard5351]

Everyone has a sob story when the time comes to obey laws.

[@larrycopenhaver]

if he can carry that battery up and down the street, he can get a job

[@MrMarkmcfarland]

True and he said he bought a battery, yeah with welfare money from the taxpayers.

[@toussantlbisso]

​@@larrycopenhaver😁

[@michaelpriest]

I don't get why they wont let the poor guy install the battery and be on his way? Seems very cruel to me.

[@HareKrsnaHareRama]

Ouch that hurts losing your motor home to the toll yard, paying a huge fine and tolling fee.

[@mountainryder3056]

Love that LA ignores crimes like burglary, auto theft, violent assaults and other possible felony crimes and instead goes after people that they’re crime is being ‘not economically viable’!

[@jeffmarcroft1018]

He must pay the police $500. Then pay $500. The towing Company

[@gaterunner64]

I feel for anyone who has to deal with a tow yard. High daily fines, new dents and missing personal items.

[@paulfmurphy617]

As a mobile Nomad for the past three years I don't really feel for these people that can't hold a job, pay rent, pay to register and insure a vehicle, then act like they are victims.

[@roblovegreen]

Can you imagine the smell?

[@lynnpeart4195]

Whan people go to A RV park you got to pay Damn its not free Notting n this life is FREE..

[@veronicalillianmoses9571]

He saw the signs he could have gotten battery last week and moved

[@JBoy340a]

Those residents sure seem glad to have the RVs gone. I would be also, if that was my street. I guess one thing good about being in an HOA is they tow pretty quickly.

[@kevinrider8703]

Bro shouldnt have parked it there period

[@ncdave4]

Love the excuses of these people.. and the way they try to become the victims...

[@robertclark9]

Guys standing right there with a battery. But nope! Let’s rain down more financial distress on already financially distressed people. And not allow him to retrieve his belongings. And so many people can’t understand why there’s such a disconnect between cops and the community. The crime scene tape says it all. This man is NOT a criminal.

[@GeorgeBonez]

This guy with the big RV is right about the sign. It should have a p-code or statute if there has been legislation to prohibit parking. A sheet of paper taped to a pole is hardly proper signage. Yes he’s frustrated which is understandable but he seems to be a smart well spoken guy that does not appear to be on drugs or have any mental issues. He seems to be a good candidate for help not further penalization. CA State Liberal WOKE Gov causes these problems and they have NO idea or will to fix anything!!! Pretty sad!!! Look how the elitist treat the man and they wonder why The People hate the Gov and Police!

[@Lopez0278]

Awesome, maybe less raw sewage going into our storm drains.

[@patriciaanndemello4652]

It's such a difficult situation. People's vehicles are often the last safe resort for housing with some dignity.

[@tszymk77]

A bum has no dignity. People need to be responsible.

[@sarashattuck4022]

When you tow away someone's motorhome it basically means the state or the county has to pay to shelter them from that moment forward

[@christinesusianto1480]

Good riddens

[@KalCana]

How did they het around the the parking bylaw..it should have been towed when it failed to move the first week
