I was at venice 2 weekends ago for a friend’s BBQ. It’s not really horrible but the houses at the beach line is riddled with tents.
I knew once the city connected the trains directly to Santa Monica Pier, it was game over. I’’ve been on the line from downtown L.A. and it’s full of ghetto animals and gross homeless who sleep on the trains.
now with tourist season in, I’m sure they will have a negative memory of the place.
