Elections have consequences.

“There are actually [residents] advocating driving the homeless out of Venice — shipping them off somewhere, which is such a proto-fascist move,” says television writer Evan Dunsky, a 27-year resident of the area. “And then what? Do we have to build a wall around Venice?”

Someone should ask this guy how many of these people he has invited into his home...if only for a hot meal and/or a shower.

With their new Governor, the situation will get worse.

Being an artist, I just had to look up...
The Frank Gehry-designed home of artist John Baldessari.
Frank Gehry designed buildings are “Unusual” to say the least. Very ultra modern, or what people THOUGHT modern would look like in the future, back in the 1950s or so. Really strange buildings. Interesting, thought. Very artsy.

I wonder what will happen in Ca. Clearly it is a battle between working people and idle vagrants.

Make homelessness a viable lifestyle choice, and you get people choosing homelessness as a lifestyle.

“Clearly it is a battle between working people and idle vagrants.”

You forgot the ultra left politicians.

I lived for a year right next to Venice Beach in Marina del Rey. If there was a archetype of SoCal it was there. Now the place is being overrun with vagrants. What a shame but the Limousine Liberals who live there asked for it.

"Someone should ask this guy how many of these people he has invited into his home."

He shouldn't need to invite them. Being form California, I'm sure he must support 'open borders'. In my view, that also includes 'open doors'. He should just leave his doors open to them.

I cannot begin to express my satisfaction on reading this article and appreciation to the poster. That these leftist sh*tbirds who are responsible for so much of the cultural disorganization and florid decadence that infests contemporary culture are now reaping what they sowed is delightful. That commie turd Vito mortensson and the like may this human garbage invade your property and trash it or turn it into a squat when you are off making a million on some new anti-American piece of celluloid excrement.

Amen! How many people has Nancy P invited into her house to stay for a while, have a hot meal and a hot shower????

Like my college roommate, who is a die hard lib tard. When people were coming into USA a few years ago, illegally, and she was all FOR it. She donated to a group who left bottles of water in the desert for the illegals coming to Calif. I asked her why she didn’t sponsor one of these young immigrants? She had a 4 or 5 bedroom house at the time, in suburb of San Diego. I said, “you have room to sponsor at least ONE young girl” She said, “No, they might steal from me”

TYPICAL LIBERAL

‘Whatever progressive elements were historically here have dwindled, and they’re being replaced by TECH money’

But, but, but Techies are LIBS! Are you telling me that LIBS have had it with the homeless destroying their neighborhoods and their peace??

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

You touched on something I was thinking about. Statistics show a certain percentage of homeless choose to be so.

"Honestly, I think we are a step and half away from vigilantism," says a talent manager who has lived in the area for two decades. "I feel like this is heading toward a Guardian Angels type situation that you saw in 1970s New York. Someone is going to go out there with a lead pipe and give someone a serious beatdown. It's awful to say, but I don't see what prevents that from happening."

Did this clown ever live in NY? The Guardian Angels made it a point they were not armed and I never heard of one case of a Guardian Angel initiating violence.

They were bums until PC called them vagrants. Then the bums made vagrant a pejorative.

Then the vagrants made vagrant a pejorative so a kinder, gentler, word was needed. We got homeless.

Has homeless achieved pejorative status? Is it time for, as the article uses, non-domiciled people?

“It may have been random, but it sure felt targeted and concentrated,” says Osborn

Random?? I am 66 years old owned a couple dozen cars and have never had my tires slashed Random is actually scarier then being targeted. Targeted you can do something about it. Random? I would be looking for a better place to live!

Barbra Streisand will be tearing down her fence and opening up her home to the homeless and illegals.
