Encampments just east of 4th Avenue have become intolerable
By Nick Antonicello
While LA city officials are focused on the immediate recovery efforts in the Palisades and rightfully so, the encampment conditions here in Venice are growing and need to be addressed as well.
Large amounts of personal possessions spilling onto sidewalks are problematic, as RV’s and other vehicles remain permanently parked and are becoming nesting areas for crime and drug use.
The images here are from this week, and the volume of stolen bikes and alike need to be removed from the street and sidewalks.
The photos were provided by an area resident and the need for a cleanup is both clear, evident and obvious.
