Hunter Biden appears to have moved out of the luxury $5.4million home he was renting in Venice Beach, California amid a crime and homelessness wave that has hit the beach-front Los Angeles city.
The son of President Joe Biden was reportedly paying $25,000 a month to rent the three-story property on the Venice canals - just a block away from the beach.
But on Monday, DailyMail.com spotted a moving truck outside the palatial home with furniture being loaded into it. Father-of-five Hunter, 51, moved into the stylish property with wife Melissa and their son Beau at the end of 2020.
Residents in Venice Beach have complained of an increase of crime as homelessness in the area has risen during the pandemic.
The homeless population has mushroomed in Venice - in 2014 only 175 people lived rough and five years later that figure stood at more than 1,200 - but things have spiraled out of control in the last few months.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos from last month show tent-dwellers who have abandoned downtown LA's Skid Row and the freeway ramps in Long Beach for Venice Beach, turning a short stretch of prime property just south of the Santa Monica border into a flashpoint between business interests and those forced from their homes.
**SNIP**
The encampments have crept closer to the famed picturesque Venice Canals.
Secret Service officers sitting outside of Hunter's home have had to contend with the stench from a small encampment on the other side of a parking lot.
The tent city itself has its dramas just like any other human settlement. Last month a 30-year-old woman from Virginia gave birth in one of the oceanfront camps, the Venice Current reported.

It sounds like a leftist paradise. A member of the ruling class living in a mansion while the common people around live in tents made of trash bags.
A bit of hyperbole there. The place was hardly a palace. $5.4 million in Venice, on the canal does not get you a mansion.
Then who is the new leader of is disposed homeless or “urban campers?”

Correction: that derelict, homeless-looking guy was just Hunter rummaging through his belongings in search of that gram of coke he stashed in his underwear drawer.
Homeless like the nice weather.
This.
Guy called John and Ken a few weeks ago. Said his favorite thing to do on Saturday nights is go into San Bernardino and watch the tweakers fight. He said it’s great entertainment and free.
I thought that was just funny......
One less criminal residing in Venice Beach. Did he take his latest wife and kid with him?
“Movin’ on up!... (Hunter’s) finally got a piece of the PIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!!”
“Lookin’ for my last shaker of ‘salt’”
This guy gets secret service protection???
Just heard that his baby momma was on his payroll of his company, with health benefits, and Hunter fired her and cut those benefits when he found out whe was pregnant. True?
Good question. I didn’t think adult children of presidents get secret service protection.
Maybe he is not considered an adult.
He probably rented it fully furnished and is now stealing the furniture, sort of like the Clintons with the White House silverware.
I passed by that place in Venice Beach today...I did not see any US Secret Service agents on the street...I was thinking maybe Mr. Hunter was not home...Now I know...
I do understand why Mr. Hunter moved away...It was not a good neighborhood...Homeless tents could be seen from his old place...
Maybe Mr. Hunter moved to Manhattan Beach? You will not see any homeless tents in Manhattan Beach...
While Mr. Trump was in the White House, his kids got US Secret Service protection...
