Mayor Eric Garcetti’s latest is that he will not sign the new ordinances that were passed by the City Council regarding the homeless but he will not veto them either which means they will become official. But he has refused to allow enforcement of the laws.
He wants amendments to make sure that prescription medication and identification cards are not confiscated.
Venice was hoping this would help clean out the “transient homeless.” Venice is filled with homeless who are not local, in fact most are from out of state. They come for the skateboarding and the easy alcohol and drug life style. Lack of enforcement has allowed the Venice increase in homeless to be up 16 percent, while LA is up 12 percent.
