I was born there nearly 70 years ago. LA has always been a crime/drug/underworld magnet. Blacks burned down the city twice. Mexicans burned it down once. It's always been covered with trash and graffiti. Now homeless people seem to set it on fire daily, and spread feces and needles on the sidewalks and parks. The homeless problem is so bad in Griffith park that they have their own police department, just to deal with homeless in the park, and the crime and unsafe conditions they create. It's nothing new. Spending a bazillion tax dollars on it doesn't seem to help, but it's emotionally popular. There is no good answer to "What to do with people who won't contribute". About the only thing you can do is pay for their existence at some kind of minimal level. If we could do that without them getting their feces on my sidewalk, I'd consider it a win.

I arrived in Venice in 1975. So different then. There was a peaceful hippie vibe. So sad what has happened there.

[@chericlark3539]

Let the clean people stay they keep their area clean.

[@gcrauwels941]

Countless businesses have closed in Venice and surrounding areas. People just don't want to see this or be around it.

They should be thrilled for the help .a home internet food showers toilets and all the amenities there are people after paying rent and utilities can't afford food cars ect.

Like I said before, take ALL the homeless @ relocate them to a faraway facility. Provide healthcare, housing, free food etc.

[@richardmorris7063]

Free nothing,they're young ,get fixed & work or they'll be a burden on society for ever.

you do know that you will be following them, if you become "problematic", right?

[@janetceniza8091]

You GIVE them everything for FREE, and hope they will want to get off drugs or being homeless. Make them do some work even if it is just sweeping a sidewalk, pick up THEIR garbage. If they won't make the slightest effort to help them selves, they are using up too much air on this planet.

But where are these people going to the bathroom? They have to be going somewhere!

About time LA started to do something. Before it becomes another San Francisco!

[@jamesblond150]

Send them all to Florida.

So glad they are cleaning things up - people living on the street like that is so wrong - you can see how mentally unstable people are... It's dangerous for them and the people around them...

Make mental institutions great again! Anyone living like this should be deemed incapable of independent living and institutionalized.

[@SandraPrice-c5g]

I can see both sides. Allot 1 specific area where the homeless can legally stay - with some help on site to help deal with their various problems. Do not allow under any circumstances homeless people to camp out anywhere else. Keep the homeless area clean & safe. Lots of Agencies could come together to help and endeavour to make life bearable. Being homeless is NOT a crime.

[@bobdevries4028]

I agree with being homeless isn't a crime. But unsightly homeless camps in the heart of the city are absolutely undesirable and so must go. The total of problems is huge. It will take a lot of time, effort and money and even more perseverance to work on a satisfying and sustainable solution for each single homeless individual. It will take a whole regiment of social workers to establish this.

It takes enormous effort to make a place look as crappy as that. Almost a work of abstract art...

[@Dusty_Dog]

It pays to make bad life decisions. Free room and board, cable, wifi, bed sheets. Wow, who's paying for that? Dummies, thats who.

[@sunsensational]

We’re paying either way. Whether they’re in prisons or in shelters or on the streets. Might as well get them off the streets.

[@janedoe1146]

My guess is its a bit more complicated than that but i sure don't have the answer on what to do with people that get to the point to live like they do. Mental illness has to be a big part of the problem here.

[@Dusty_Dog]

@Jane Doe Mental illness is difficult, but there are services for free medication. The illegal drugs complicate the situation.

homelessness is a lifestyle a way of life ! if its free they will take all of it not just tree they want every thing they can get there hands on ! the only thing is they don't work for it !
