Patience wearing thin over return of large homeless encampment in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Frustrated business owners in Hollywood are pleading with the city to help deal with a large homeless encampment growing in the area.

The encampment is near Martel Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. The city cleared out the encampment roughly a year ago, but it's back and growing.

One local business owner blames the city for not policing the area and letting homeless people move back in without any pushback.

Other business owners are so frustrated, they've hired security.

Business owners are not the only ones upset the homeless have moved back in.

Hollywood resident Charlotte Duvall said the situation is "disheartening."

> Where do they get all the tents? <

Well, places like REI sell tents. And REI is leaving Portland because people are just walking in, and taking what they want. Maybe that’s happening in CA too.

Instead, NYC the “sanctuary city” is bussing them upstate where conservative New Yorkers are trapped. Princess Kathy even said, publicly, “Gov. Kathy Hochul is imploring suburban county executives to welcome asylum seekers and reject was she called “bigoted policies” that are not what New York stands for.”

The narrative..Poverty leads to crime. The Bible truth......Crime leads to poverty.

Everything is a lie today. Virtually every moral issue is answered with lies.

business owners dont get to vote, unless they live in the district or the city, which most don’t, since they live in the wealthy suburbs.

Poor elites. They are just like the rest of the blue sanctuary cities. We are sanctuary cities but don’t want illegal aliens to come here.

Be careful. Bad things happen when people “demand government do something.” Do it yourselves.

“It’s a real mystery why that didn’t cure the problem.”

It didn’t cure the problem because the money was diverted into special interest and politicians bank accounts. Money is being removed from the economy to hasten Cloward-Piven.

Thank you for that bit of ignored history - many of the CCC camps were just that (despite the mythology built around them).

I think I see the problem. The city doesn't give a s___t what the business owners think and the business owners are too stupid or naive to understand that.

I’m surprised that the businessmen haven’t pooled together some money to hire “bully boys”, to run the ‘homeless’ out.

If they could get away with doing this a time or two, the ‘homeless’ usually take the hint and go elsewhere.

The border states ought to bus a bunch of Bidens “dreamers” to Hollywood (and Marthas Vineyard, the Hamptons, Washington DC, Chicago) and dump them.

25% of the southern border states are already doing this.

I was thinking of Ronald Reagan’s famous remark:
If you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it.
The more they subsidize bums, the more bums we get.

"Other business owners are so frustrated, they've hired security."
