In case you needed further proof that the policies put in place by Councilman Mike Bonin and the City of Los Angeles are ATTRACTING more and more “homeless” youth, please check out these pictures. They were taken Friday night at 9:30 pm. Each of these three vehicles is within 50 feet of my front door. I have never seen them before. They are all young, active, and aggressive. All of them are from out of state.

Please give the LAPD the power to enforce basic quality of life issues like this. I will wake up with urine and feces – and probably needles – in the morning. This happens at least twice a week. New kids drawn by the “easy living” and lack of enforcement.

Please give us permit parking so I don’t have to park blocks away from my house. So my wife and young son don’t have to walk around these filthy squatters.

Mr. Bonin continues to offer handouts to the “homeless” and continues to IGNORE residents. What are you doing for US, Councilman? Will the streets be clean of this if your goals are achieved? We have watched our neighborhood slide into near destitute under your watch. Each and every time I go out of my house I encounter vehicles, encampments, needles, feces, or worse – actual tweaked out kids threatening me and my family.

Get these kids off my street.

A couple from Colorado. Just drove up and are already throwing garbage and running their motor to keep their lights on.

In here are three kids from Minnesota.

There is a guy sleeping in a Prius here.

Not pictured is the camper around the corner from Maine who has been here for months. I asked him to leave but he said he was “traveling” and going back “home.” He has yet to leave. He is now parked by the meth camp at Mildred Ave and Grand Canal.

Thank you LAPD for all you do and please help us as much as you can. My family is under constant attack from these “travelers,” the same ones Bonin wants to make more comfortable in Venice.
