Besides Joe Buscaino, Alex Villanueva, the dazzling sheriff of the Los Angeles district, also wants to suck honey out of the situation. He is up for re-election next year. So it is good to walk with your legs apart on the Ocean Front Walk of Venice and threaten with fines.
By Independence Day on July 4th, when tens of thousands usually come to the stretch of beach between Santa Monica Pier and the open-air bodybuilding cage in Venice, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger once lifted iron, the eyesore should be gone said Villanueave. Otherwise he will “ensure order in public space”.
The problem should not actually exist there. According to the regulatory laws, Venice Beach is a no-go zone for the homeless at night. But in the corona peak phase, the city administration did not enforce the regulations. To agitate the people with angel tongues in sheltered emergency shelters seemed to be a second choice because of the risk of contagion. Now that the pandemic has eased, the results are – wild growth when staying overnight in inner-city locations.
