Border War: Los Angeles officials clash with burbs over homeless 'dumping'

The 405 Freeway underpass along Venice Boulevard has become a flashpoint in the escalating homelessness crisis plaguing Southern California.

The road is a border between worlds. On the north side of the famed street is Los Angeles -- and a sidewalk packed with sun-bleached tents, dirty sleeping bags, bikes in various states of disrepair and even a few surfboards belonging to residents of the underpass’ homeless population. On the south side is Culver City, a storied moviemaking hub and a peaceful suburban oasis.

On a recent weekday morning, Culver City’s side was noticeably bereft of any sign of the homeless sprawl just across the street, save for a lone tent.

Scenes like this are apparent across the Los Angeles region, where homeless camps and tent cities have cropped all over the city of Los Angeles while just across the border in suburbs like Culver City, Manhattan Beach and Rancho Palos Verdes these encampments are nowhere to be seen. This disparity has infuriated Los Angeles city councilmembers and led to claims that L.A.’s neighbors are not just shirking their responsibility in tackling the region’s homeless crisis, but are actively pushing the homeless into L.A.’s city limits.

“They’re slacking, and some are not even doing that much,” Branimir Kvartuc, a spokesperson for L.A. city Councilman Joe Buscaino, told Fox News. “Some are taking the homeless out of their cities and moving them to the L.A. city side.”

It doesn't sound to me like dumping as much as the surrounding communities are doing the enforcement that LA refuses to do...

What happens when the system backs up.

The sewage overflows.

Los Angeles has become a blight on the region.

Yes, I know, this is only the latest example.

Go across the Street to Los Angeles or we are going to PUT YOU IN JAIL, is NOT Homeless Dumping, it is Enforcing the Law.

[know.your.why]

I’ll bet money that its going to be 100% worse within 2 short years if they dont nip it now.

I just dont see how its going to fix itself.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I’m sorry, did you NOT understand the consequences of calling your self a “sanctuary city”? Where else would the homeless get dumped?

[rjsimmon]

but are actively pushing the homeless into L.A.’s city limits.

Good. LA is actively violating US law after becoming a "sanctuary city" (whatever that means) and deserves to be destroyed (except for my beloved Dodgers!!!) and rebuilt under a conservative leadership.

[Yaelle]

These decent communities are NOT ALLOWING FILTH!! That is how civilization has to be! THOSE TOWNS ARE SMART. What you tolerate, you get more of.

[pepsionice]

Same story for Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. Even Vegas is rumored to have in the range of 6,000 living off the streets.

[faithhopecharity]

pay them and they’ll come.
pay them more and more of them will come.
pay them all and all of them will come.

The California experience
and now,
pay them all and then complain when they all come

idiots run California. complete idiots

[Vigilanteman]

A microview of libtards want for the whole country— we need more places to be forced to accept the overflowing sewage which we refuse to do anything about . . .

[lurk]

Sounds like LA is thinking like feminine people. I want it, but I don’t want it.

[dfwgator]

and deserves to be destroyed (except for my beloved Dodgers!!!)

These Dodgers?

[surrey]

My son and his family live in SoCal. I just spoke to him yesterday about the homeless problem and he said they had just rounded up a bunch of folks and shipped them out of his town. I said how does a state elect an idiot like Newsome ,who made a mess of SF, to now make a mess of the whole state.

[LukeL]

L.A. will soon turn into a Calcutta or New Delhi. You will have slums, a business district, and a few enclaves for the rich.

[SunkenCiv]

Complaints? LA has none coming.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Sounds like a good time to invest in Greyhound. Buses are going to be full shipping these people from town to town. Tag, your it.

Towns and cities used to have and enforce vagrancy laws.

Those that still do do not have major problems.
