I’ve seen that video and I’ve seen the Santa Monica/Venice area in person close up many times. Now, you couldn’t take me there in a complementary fully stocked stretch presidential limo. No joke.
Last summer me and my granddaughter and a friend of hers was sitting on my boat on a beautiful day. They were leaving for Venice Beach. I said why? Because they had never been there. I told them it was crap now and to be very careful. When they came back they told me how disgusting it was. One f my neighbors is a cop in Santa Monica and had told me how bad it is now.
