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'.

Was there in 2/2020 and no noticeable homeless. But when you are a welfare state word gets out:-)

For many, it's not necessarily "homeless," but rather...a lifestyle "choice."


On July 14, a concerned resident who wished to remain anonymous captured a couple on video unpacking their car to take up camp near the popular boardwalk

Note: That doesn't appear to be a CA license plate.

You no longer need to ask progressives “progress toward what?” This is what.

“They wait until the problem is so out of control they can’t fix it.”

So they come up with an equally insane idea to “fix” the first insane idea.

“They wait until the problem is so out of control they can’t fix it.”

It can still be fixed, easily and legally.

There’s just no political will for it.

Time for the Citizens of Venice Vigilance Committee.

Heavy clubs have been the solution for millennia.

“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”

Heavy clubs have been the solution for millennia.

Republicans should stage a rally

That babe in Baltimore, running for Congress, had one of the best conservative themed commercials I have ever seen.

She still lost.

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

It's historic. A magnet for hippie/counter culture/homeless for a long time.
