This in from Heather Kahler: Seriously??? Does anyone care about the greater public? Kids? Families? VALUES? VNC, what the heck???? I’m not prude by any means and am extremely liberal and am a third generation Venice resident raising the fourth,
but there is no threshold or line anymore. It is unnecessary. On a heavy populated beach with the needs of multiple people ignored for few who feel the need to free-boob it. The jiggling bottoms protruding from the dental floss of GStrings is hard enough to endure, and I’m in shape enough to wear a bikini myself so it’s not body envy for of you who are going there as you read. Geez. Why must we continually accommodate the desires of the few over the needs of the many? My guess is the poll at the bottom of the article was responded to mostly by men…. Venice/Westside has all these things to boast over the last decade: Several strip clubs, pot shops more abundant than Starbucks, increased vagrant population, gridlock traffic, more liquor licenses that just about anywhere, and we must now endure boobies flying about by attention seeking women? Wow. Find a higher set of priorities ladies. We can’t have a DOG beach but it instead we may have a BOOBIE BEACH!!!. Priorities are are so out of whack anymore it boggles my mind. I wish people with so much passion could put their lobbying efforts towards something meaningful that improves the quality of life for others instead of just themselves. Put your bobbies away and fight for education or the environment or something!!!!
Nude sunbathing in all probability would be isolated, random and regulated. To suggest anything more is to be naïve and ignorant. In all likelihood the City Fathers will pass on this idea because they lack the ability to fix anything anyway, so why would anyone believe they could pass a proposal such as this in a meaningful manner?
If CD11 can’t address of the serious problems of crime, homelessness, overdevelopment and alike — why does anyone think they could implement such a relatively simple request in a responsible way.
LA city government is broken and rotten to the core. Dysfunctional and unable to get out of it’s own way.
Venice needs and demands cityhood. The same as West Hollywood where home rule and grass roots representation would matter.
What you have now are fifteen council members who lack the ability to work together and put LA on a path of reasonable results as it applies to public policy.
