'We're in a state of emergency!' Furious Venice Beach residents say enough is enough as the homeless continue to swarm the boardwalk less than a week after the city conducted massive clean-up to clear out encampments

Less than a week after a massive clean-up of homeless encampments on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, new arrivals continue to swarm the area, DailyMail.com can reveal.

City officials promised they would return at the end of July to finish the job, but residents and shop owners say enough is enough, and tell DailyMail.com that last week's sweep was 'all for show'.

Last week, a concerned resident who asked not to be identified captured a couple on video taking up camp near the popular boardwalk.

“Vote Democrats, get junks and homeless”

I’m having a good dose of schadenfreude right now.

You’ll never get the homeless off Venice Beach without physically restraining them. It’s too kewl a place, it’s a longstanding tradition, and in summer it’s like a $350/day resort without the amenities.

Getting rid of the illegal voters from the 2020 election and bringing in news ones for 2022?

Shut down the drug supplies to these encampments and they would disappear in a week. You can’t tell me the cops don’t know who’s bring the drugs in.

And murders, corruption, illiteracy and massive debt. Among other things.

But keep voting for the Rats. They'll fix it right after the next election.

A century of activist-leftist government in the USA, has fooled people into thinking there is some “modern,” progressive or new way of handling this problem.

There isn’t

Clearly the authorities need to crack down on gun owners even more, and redouble CRT trainings in schools. That should fix it!

Not a Republican in power within 100 miles, and they don’t get the irony.

Calling people who are losers in life’s lottery, druggies is so hateful. These people need to take more white privilege classes.

Republicans should stage a rally and make it clear that the problem is all a direct part of the policy that these people vote for. Not an accident. Democrats don’t like taxpayers. Democrats like deviants. Maybe my judgment is off, but if I were a Republican candidate, I would present this in a very in-your-face-you-should-be-ashamed-of-how-you-vote manner. I actually think people might wake up if you slapped them. Tie it to the immigrants. Tie it to COVID. Democrat policies are stupid. Stop voting stupid.

Anyone find it rather “telling” that this is getting more press coverage by a UK source than US sources?

Also interesting - WHY is Venice Beach apparently such a magnet for the homeless?

And finally - the bigger question - with 9 million unfilled jobs (and I believe that to actually be rather under-stating it) - why the massive homeless problem? As programs continue to grow to help the homeless, and with the extension of the no-evictions federal mandate (as unconstitutional as it is) - WHY is the problem growing?

Absolutely NO-ONE even bothers to answer these bigger questions - or to actually suggest taking any meaningful steps to address these questions/problems.
