City of LA Investigating New Trend of Homeless Encampments Forming on Private Properties
ABC 7 ^ | Oct 7, 2025 | Kevin Ozebek

It's apparently the latest trend in Los Angeles.

Homeless encampments aren't just popping up in parks and sidewalks anymore. Now, they're taking over some private lots, too.

"It's just sketchy," said Samantha Rene, a Koreatown resident.

The encampment sits at Hoover and San Marino Streets, right next to an apartment complex and close to a place of worship. Hoover Elementary School is just two blocks away, and many young students need to pass it to get to school.

"Sometimes when I pass by, they're always like screaming, fighting or sometimes they're like doing this," said Jayleen Alas, a 4th grader, as she made a smoking gesture.

Smoking isn't the only activity people are complaining about.

A maintenance man with The Salvation Army next door showed us where people from the encampment have been stealing their electricity. A man named Jose Dominguez said stuff has been stolen from his trunk when he parked on the street.

A witness told a 7 On Your Side photographer that during the move, someone slashed one of the tires of one of our Eywitness News vans. That didn't slow us down from telling the story.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Click for the drone images. Itโ€™s atrocious. Trump needs to retweet these images *daily* and hashtag Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass to tell them to do their jobs. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

No Worries!

They, the homeless, are just getting their prime locations for the Lost Angeless Olympics!

Heck, since Guv Newscum and Lost Angeless Mayor Bass Ackwards are making sure none of the fire victims get permits to rebuild on their beachfront properties, there are some PRIME, on the water, empty lots just waiting for a few tents.

Since the homeless have more rights than most anyone else in Kalifornia, I just may not shave for a week or two, grab my tent, and park my rear end on the coast.

(I wonder if Amazon would deliver to my tent?) .

Stealing electricity, using drugs, sleeping in ramshackle tent towns, making schoolchildren afraid....

Sounds like a California Workers Progressive Socialist Utopia to me. What’s the problem?

If the cops try to question you, tell them you just came across the border illegally. They are forced by sanctuary state law to shut up and leave you alone. Cannot ask questions which would imply asking about the country of your need to seek asylum here.

So it's a Democrat Party quorum.

The people in question are not homeless. They have homes. They are Tent Dwellers.

They go about their days activities from tents where they sleep.

Were the plains Indians who lived in Tipi’s homeless?

Poor homeless souls are at the mercy of the heartless income entitled.
The local governments should be required to provide the urban pioneers with shotguns for self preservation, anything less would be complicity in genocide.

Where do they expect the inhabitants to go when they close a homeless camp?

The question still stands. To where do they expect them to move their tents and reestablish their homes?
