Now this is what homelessness can be. “Homeless people” are different than mentally ill and drug addicts without a home. Those issues are separate and need their own fixes and attention. But this kid, wow. Anyone can do it. It is a choice. When I hear the word ” homeless”, this is the kind of people I think of- those who are struggling as individuals or families who have fallen on hard times due to circumstances outside of their choices. A kid like this and his family should not be categorized under the same umbrella as a drug addict without a home.

Senator Mike McGuire’s SB593 regulating short-term rentals is on its way to the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee.
Senator’s legislation will ensure that cities and counties can collect transient occupancy taxes. Legality of what can be rented or not rented will be left up to the city.

1) Many residents in Venice who are concerned about building projects attended Robert Silverstein’s talk last Saturday. Silverstein is the attorney who successfully stopped a large project in Hollywood.
2) Thursday night I listened to fellow residents and homeless yell all that they thought was wrong with Venice, the LAPD, and the City.
3) Saturday night my thoughts and hopes for Venice soared as I listened to world-renowned architect Dr. Kulapat Yantrasast expound on the fact that Venice is the place of creativity. Venice is where he chose to live after leaving Japan. This is where he built his house and is a founding partner of wHY. He engaged a large room of people in thought by asking such questions as: “What are the dreams and visions we all have for Venice? What can we do to make it better? How can we all communicate better?”
Paul Hibler, owner of Superba restaurants, talked about a farm he is building to supply his restaurants with fresh vegetables. Hibler supplied the food for the evening. My unbiased opinion was simply “superb.”
I fell in love with Hibler’s flat bread with cheese at the Venice Green Expo, which Hibler supplied with his “tidbits of enticements.” I sampled one tidbit that I thought was pizza. I don’t like pizza and told the man serving the stuff repeatedly that I didn’t like pizza, as I asked for another piece, and then, yet another piece.
Recently, I went to his Lincoln Superba restaurant to get some of the same. Man said he didn’t have any left for the day, but he would look. He came out with a piece left over and just gave it to me. Tiffany Rochelle, Hibler’s wife, indicated to me that it wasn’t pizza as I relayed the story to her. She also said Paul has the philosophy to always be nice and considerate of the customer and all who work for him are to be that way too. What an attitude!
Kulapat, who is known by his first name, introduced two experienced, successful restaurateurs who are in process of opening new restaurants in Venice using plants for food. Neither Heather nor Matthew looked old enough to be out of high school, much less planning on another business. We should all eat what they eat.
Saturday night it was all “what is right with Venice.” Do believe Update should have an article each week called “What’s Right with Venice.” Okay readers, can it be done? Little help here.
When I left the fundraiser for the Venice Community Housing Corporation, I felt Venice was in great hands with these minds and I wanted to be a part of it.
