I’m writing to inform and warn neighbors of vandalism we were victims of this weekend. We had a heavy glass bird bath and wrought iron stand stolen off our front newly landscaped yard. While we do have a camera that tapes activity around our home the persons who stole it approached our house in such a way to be out of view of the cameras range. We now will be installing a second camera which will cover any approach to our home.
Needless to say this occurrence was very unsettling.

Yesterday I discovered a young man moving my trashcans (some of which had not been emptied) out of his way and in a position making them more difficult for the city trucks to access. He was doing this to provide himself a parking place. He informed me that he had to be at his job at the boxing club in five minutes. When I confronted him about moving trash cans from the front of my house he became hostile. I was holding on to one of the bins and he took control of one side and began to attempt to wrench it out my hands. We were saved from the potential of violence by a young lady, who leaving, told him to take her space.
At this time, the coastal commission is not allowing parking restrictions in the Oxford Triangle. They have actually had litigation brought against them and have won each tort that pushed for the neighborhoods right to have these restrictions imposed. The City of Los Angeles has recently received a grant from the Coastal Commission to create a plan to increase beach access while simultaneously providing more control to neighborhoods. This plan must be submitted within a month and parking restrictions may be available as soon as a year from now.

The point of creating open fencing at the thatcher maintenance yard is so that it CAN’T be hidden. And the shelters torn down so they CAN’T be used as encampments and hobo drug hangouts. What part of this is not clear? The cinderblock walls and the buildings on the sight ARE THE PROBLEM. The removal of these buildings and the iron fencing will make a clear view of flat grounds that can no longer be used as a secret hideout hangout for transients and drug addicts. It is NOT a waste of money and high time the project actually got started. How is this not plain and obvious? Ideas were presented and voted on and the solution was decided upon long ago. Done deal. Not open for discussion. Needs to happen. Let it go. Find some other city project to disagree with.
