Beverly Hills is known for being a stomping ground of the Hollywood elite, but as homelessness in Los Angeles has grown, so too have its encampments.
The median house price in Beverly Hills is around $3.5million, yet those luxury houses are now juxtaposed against a clusters of tents, prominent along residential streets, highways and parks.
Photos taken on Tuesday reveal tarpaulins, shopping carts, mattresses and loose bedding next to busy junctions and on the sidewalks of the wealthy suburb.
The scenes were captured along San Vicente Blvd, near the upscale Beverly Center shopping mall where celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton and Hailey Bieber have all been known to shop.
An estimated 40,000 people are homeless in the city of Los Angeles, which has a population of nearly 4 million people.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority estimated there were around 70,000 people experiencing homelessness in the wider Los Angeles County in 2022, a four percent increase since 2020.
In January the affluent Sherman Oaks neighborhood, just north of Beverly Hills made national headlines after three people died on its streets in just one week.
There are no certain statistics on homelessness in Beverly Hills, but in a report seen by local paper the Beverly Hills Courier, city manager Nancy Hunt-Coffey wrote that it 'seems to be increasing'.
Last year a number of residents in the neighborhood gave testimony to the city council on their experiences of homelessness as part of a discussion to address the escalating issue.
'Many of my peers are considering moving because they consider the situation hopeless,' said Amy Conroy, who said she is afraid to let her children play outside.
Recently elected Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ran a campaign on claims she was going to address the growing homeless crisis in Los Angeles.

Only if one defines Conservative as Not Full Blown Marxist.
Only two of the cities 15 precincts vote Republican in Beverly Hills.
Hillary Clinton got 64% of the vote in 2016. Joe Biden got 58% of the vote in 2020.
All of their Federal and State elected officials are Democrats. 53% of citizens of Beverly Hills did vote against the Soros-backed George Gascon, who won with 54% of the vote in all of LA county. Turnout in 2020 was 68% compared to 66.8% nationwide.
The Mayor and City Council run as “independents.” However, their biographies and public pronouncements are fairly “woke, including a lot of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as well as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DIE) themes.
While the City Council’s Priorities and Legislative Agenda contain a fair amount of “Not In My Backyard (NIMBY), as well as support for Law and Order; the City Council’s Priorities and Legislative Agenda are not conservative.
Don’t interrupt the rush of reading the Headline, without going deeper.😄😄
I don’t see the problem.
The comment is correct, it is not Beverly Hills. Welcome to tabloid journalism. These photos are along the east side of San Vicente, which is the City of Los Angeles, not Beverly Hills. The park with the big pack of tents is also Los Angeles (Crossing of San Vicente and La Cienega). Photo 8, which is a single homeless person lying in the grass is Beverly Hills along Santa Monica Blvd, but Daily Mail is lying.
Oh no!!!!!!!
The average home price won’t be $3.5M for long.
From 1986 to the deep six when plans go stink.
I think it’s hilarious. The insane leftist Hollywood elites getinflcted with their own insane policies. Usually its the normal everyday people who are hurt by their crazy ideas

I’d love to see it happen in Beverly Hills. Screw ‘em.
She and I had a long night and gave her cab fare.
It's been a long time, so my memory is probably foggy on this and my initial facts were wrong, but Harry Katz was actually a very busy and known 2nd Unit Director and 1st AD, and he sold the house for over $1 million, but I was misremembering what he bought it for. The second owner was a top dance choreographer, Jerry Mitchell. Then, Scott and Renee bought it for under $2 million. I'm not a Hollywood guy, but started on film and TV in Colorado when Hollywood came here a lot. I did the math, and even lower level crew people made/saved a ton of $$$ with endless days, long days, and never ending gigs, with no time to even spend what they made. It could add up fast! I had a taste of it as a producer in Nashville but couldn't function on 5 hours of sleep per night for weeks. It was a sad limitation that I had to face. I don't know how these crews do it. But, anyway, yeah, the money added up.
Is that a Weezer song?
