Planters to deter homeless encampments in Hollywood forced to be removed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2024
- Some Hollywood business owners are upset and frustrated after planters that were installed to keep homeless encampments from growing were ordered to be removed.
The planters and garden beds were placed along the sidewalk on Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue in May after shop owners said homeless encampments had completely blocked sidewalks and access paths for almost two years. Before installing the planters, business owners said they sent multiple requests to city officials and the L.A. mayor’s office seeking help with the situation but were ignored.

This is a prime example of how the city of Los Angeles does not actually care about solving the homeless issue
The city's M.O. is to ramp up crime, homelessness with it's aim to drive businesses out of existence so politicians' puppet masters can buy up property on the cheap
It's not just the city, it's the entire left party trying to sink CA everywhere. The pestilences of society are being coddled while the good taxpayers are being penalized everywhere possible
Perhaps the day will come when voters build some critical thinking skills, then realize that they can't solve their homelessness problems as long as they keep voting for wealthy people. This includes some members of the LA City Council.
What these wealthy politicians don't get is that us peons don't mind new taxes paying for these things. As long as the wealthy pays the bill. 😏
Nonononono. They care to perpetuate this issue to steal federal funds while accepring bribes from china to lower property values so chinese developers can own america. its intentional. the jose huizar corruption case is not well publicized
the prime needs those property values lowered asap to get the rest of those slackers out of the buildings. so, get those encampments back sooner rather than later and the prime can buy it cheap.
Mayor of Incompetence.
This is NOT incompetence! ANYONE knows better than this. Think outside the box, it's a plan
The mayor doesn't add to the problem. She knows how to fix it. The city council doesn't want to fund a plan. The state legislature hasn't come up with a plan, nor expanded funding to deal with the issue. All because no one wants to pay for it.
But that's too bad for the politicians who feel that way. You know, the wealthy ones. The ones who know that voters wants THEM to PERSONALLY fund the vast majority of homelessness services.
But you can't collect the eggs when you vote for foxes to guard the henhouse. Stop voting for the wealthy for public office.
DEI hire OBVIOUSLY..😡
@@stevenwinterhill3623stop using trend words because you don’t have an expanded vocabulary or own thoughts. Black, white, Hispanic mayors/governors have been in office and the same foolishness.

So It took the city years to get rid of the used heroin needles on the sidewalk
the poop on the sidewalk
and the homeless on the sidewalk
but they can get rid of the planters on Monday morning
Their priorities are all out of whack
Right? 🤦🏼♀️ I left Southern California in 2008 and I miss the weather, the Mexican food and family but not much else
They haven't gotten rid of the needles and poo
Very well said
So the tents and junk homeless keep in piles aren’t an obstruction? Get a life Bass.
I know! It's crazy😮
Keep planters. Let's vote.
Actually there needs to be a congregation gathering to stand up & protest
@@maddworld3317i agree
Those planters may inhibit fire or police, gotta think about that
@@jogmas12 Yet all the homeless tents all over the sidewalk don't?? Get out of here with that nonsense, enough is enough!
@@stiixgirl6148 well, tents are light weight and easily over come as an obstacle. But those planters can weigh up 500 lbs with all the dirt in them. That’s why they are used to keep homeless away because they are not easily moved
And i guess all the tents blocking the sidewalk arent an obstruction? This city is insane.
Not with your money they’re not,,,LMAO
The city's answer? Building luxury high rises for the homeless.
Isn't Weingart Tower something else?😳
I've never been able to afford an apartment with brand new appliances, a luxury view and a gym on premises.
That's something you work yourself up to, if you're able.
There's no way in hell that homeless housing should look like that.
And, we'll see how long it takes before they look like trash. Great use of tax dollars.
🤣🤣 not the families actually working for a living
Actually for migrants in the long run
To the tune of 600K per unit......
Mayor Bass approved this idea
Hilarious. Move the planters but not the tents the homeless live in. Californians need to change their voting habits.
Texas is much much worse.
We do it’s corruption
They are.
Elections in California are rigged to the core .
try solving the problem, not belittling those affected
It's actually LOTS of cheating. I have a big mouth and I'm nosy. I speak to people all the time. 8 out of every ten in California are NOT the crazies they show us to be
What a shame for all involved. Putting business owners at risk of losing their business is really unfair.
It is very, very unfair and causes jeopardy for all. Prayers for all. More businesses need to relocate to a business friendly environment.
I agree. I used to live on Cherokee and sunset so know this corner well and cannot believe it hasn’t gotten better.
@@TheSarah730 It would have gotten better if leaders didn't WANT them to feel the pain
that is the plan those bussiness people are bad like trump
Call dad to the Joe Biden crime family
If the planters are an obstruction, then enforce the same when the homeless setup shop with the tents. It doesn't make sense.
Los Angeles is nothing but a cess pool! 😅
Along with the rest of mexifornia.
Californians, you all need to rethink your choices on government officials. This is ridiculous.
I never vote democrat it’s rigged
no matter who is "voted" in they will be corrupt
you mean Democrats... not all Californians are Democrats
No. Still wouldn’t vote Republican ever again.
Adam shift has his shirt his district and his voters that he is going to find an anonymous whistleblower any day now
Blame the Evil California governor
The evil DA is also to blame.
Blame the voters who voted for Newsom and Gascon, I sure do.
If u don’t like gravel gruesome and our urban modern Democratic plantation state you can move out
@@stiixgirl6148 Anyone with common sense blames these people....Plain and simple they shouldn't be allowed to vote ever again for the mess they've created.
@@destinyreturns4885 Unfortunately common sense isn’t too common anymore here in California. The people here need common sense laws to function. I love my state but I can’t stand the politics and a good chunk of the population 🤣.
Sheesh, the world has gone mad!
What’s a shame is the madness is self inflicted all over the world by those who are supposed to be governing their citizens well and providing the needs of the citizens are met. Innocent citizens are suffering to the point of losing their lives. God help us. 🙏🙏🙏
Just one party - one group
The Color Blue Has Gone Mad Not The World
@@russelltate1394 💯
World been crazy since the beginning because of slavery
Well, the city built luxury homeless accomodations on Skid Row...$600,000 per unit.
Those planters identify as homeless. Now leave them alone!!
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣
🍻
Scientology Blue Building placed planters in front of their building as well. They are also violating city ordinance and should have to remove the planter boxes.
I watch the Scientology protesters on UA-cam. Scientologists get away with everything
tom cruize will prevent that
STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!
If Los Angeles got rid of all the homeless how would the mayor continue her money laundering scheme??
Jobs also deter homeless.
Jobs, you mean the things all US companies are trying to outsource to robots, illegal immigrants and overseas?
Install landscape sprinklers on the roof set them on timers … wet sidewalks = no campers
Not if they got tents. Plus, they might start taking showers.
That's considered "assault" here in California...you can go to jail for turning a hose on someone here. It's maddening dealing with the policies ruling California, a state controlled by Dems.
There were sidewalk sprinklers many years ago on the south edge of Little Tokyo.
Crocker St, between 3rd and 4th.
I don't remember exactly who or why they stopped using them, but I think it was basically considered cruel or unfair or something.
Evil democrats Party
Aren’t the homeless encampments OBSTRUCTIONS? The planters are beautiful and people can walk safely through there. What an idiot Mayor! Send a homeless camp in their yard and see how fast they change their mind!
Just as bad in Portland
Same issue here in Albuquerque. A city-wide issue, but one large beautiful park that was the pride of the city with dog walkers and families alike was taken over to the point that businesses across the street, who had spent a fortune to have their facility near the park, was just a few weeks from losing their clientele. The homeless would vandalize the building every night (and use it as a toilet, and during the day, sneak into the business to use the bathrooms for drugs. Being nice to them did not help. They would demand water and sometimes, calls to the police would bring no help at all. Several times they were threatened with bodily harm. Heart-breaking that a wonderful family business was going under. The city finally cleared out the park (all the ancient older trees were already destroyed from being used as toilets with even graffiti carved into them), cut down all the trees, and it is now going to be a fire station. For now, they have moved to other parts of the city. Not a solution, but they don't want to have a solution unless it is on THEIR terms...no rules or regulations. Ridiculous. I fortunately live 50 miles away, but friends and family have worked hard to stay in town to serve the city they love. They have sacrificed so much already, as have the good folks in LA/Hwood. These are the tax-paying peeps who help pay for all the city services. I know the area well, but would not feel safe to walk like I used to, without a large group of friends, or even an armed escort! 🤠🐴🌎❤
😭😭😭
This is all bull crap 💩
Stand your ground business owners.
I thought the police or other departments from the government cannot remove personal belongings. Isn’t it why they cannot remove the homeless belongings? Why don’t the business use the same excuse and claim those planter are personal belongings and cannot be removed?????
The city is absolutely wrong for trying to remove the planters!
They removed the ones on my street too, in West LA. Immediately got the homeless encampment back, and now I literally walk in the middle of the street, since there is no sidewalk left.
hollywood loves them some homeless people on their sidewalks! 😂
Hey! They is NOT homeless!! …THEY IS EXTRAS!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Who is the city serving?

The city council people prefer to have the homeless squat on commercial sidewalks instead of squatting in residential neighborhoods. The city is not doing anything about this. Los Angeles will go the way of San Francisco if nothing is done to curb this problem.
they are pro criminal
MAKE SURE THAT SCIENTOLOGY MOVES ALL THEIR PLANTERS TOO...DON'T SHOW FAVORITISM
This is fricken nuts. Keep punishing the victims. I was born in LA and always loved it. But I’m glad I don’t live there now.
SUE THE CITY SIMPLE
The business owners should cite the same ordinance homeless people use for their garbage. It’s private property so it can’t be moved.
Insane … business owners need to fight this !!!!
Our city leaders are an abomination
I passed by here all the time. I much rather see this than a dirty homeless Camp
I remember when the city finally cleaned up the camp around Sunset Sound, and even the mayor was there promising to help. And the help is now there, helping remove the nice planters so that the camps can return. There must be some NGO that lost money with no homeless to help. If there's no problem to solve, there's no funding. There are better ways to help the homesless than to keep them on the street. Stop giving them tents and food so they'll have no choice but to straighten out and go to a proper shelter.
The real question "WTF is that guys wife wearing? Are the visiting from Las Vegas?" WOW!
For real! I thought he was a pimp walking the street casually with one of his ladies he got pregnant, and notice she was on the street side and not on the protective side walking with her man. Idk 🤷🏽♂️
So street vendors have rights to block side walks, not business whose paying taxes???
Why ?? Ask Democrats….. Thank you Mayor …. Thank you Gascon ….. thank you Newson
Texas is much much worse.
ACLU actually. According to Ben Shapiro the ACLU made it harder to remove tents. Because they say they're the homeless persons belongings, so it can't be taken away.
On another note they need to make more homeless shelters. Only problem is the not in my backyard people. The ones who complain a shelter is too close to their home. The whole thing is a mess. They need to be consulted by the people who manage the housing first in Finland.
How dare you imply to our plantation leaders any negative fashion
The tent is not obstructing?
This is crazy 💆♂️
they want to remove the plants because if the homeless move then they have to relocate to richer areas which those higher officials dont want to happen
What's happening to LA, that's a good idea than homeless people blocks the sidewalks
The city is dumb for taking these alternative to keep people from camping at their properties
Like homeless encampments aren't obstructions 😠
how much money does california waste on providing shelter and services to illegals?
I pitched the idea to lease the sidewalks - if no planters are allowed- no homeless should be allowed
Shame on the city
I go back to my beloved city of Los Angeles every year. And enjoy going back to my old haunts. You know, walk the old neighborhoods, parks , bars and restaurants. But last year I had to walk around and step over the homeless. And was a little worried about getting stabbed. I knew things were getting worse in LA , but I never thought something like this would happen.
es un desastre,a nosotros nos atacaron dos veces en medio de Studio City,ibamos con bebes,eramos varios caminando al auto,ya no se puede salir ms a caminar!!
Welcome to California!!
I'm so tired of this unaffordable housing narrative. Everyone in a home or an apartment had to prove they could afford the mortgage or the rent. But these people can't afford the mortgage or rentb where they are, but they don't want to live where they can afford like everyone else does, they think housing should just be given to them. There is no entitlement to live wherever you want, you live where you canb afford. But we all know this is a drug problem, not a housing problem.
Pls stop blaming California and Californians for the drug addicts other states failed to rehabilitate. California is just at the tail end of a national problem with homeless drug users. They were flown in from across the nation in order for phony providers to milk federal coffers. Now that the coffers have dried up, the patients have been abandoned. Their families and home states are all too happy to be rid of them, while the phony lobby is blaming unaffordable housing for their failure to effectively rehab any of the addicts.
F the city. leave it.
I am a homeless drug addict , and moving back to those sidewalks. Thank you socialist politicians!!
Do you use Wi-Fi or are you in a library right now to access the Internet?
@@Dzztzt I made career living on the streets. Socialist Politicians are my best friends , and acess to free STUFF!!
Leave the poor homeless people alone.They go well with the Crapfornia landscaping.
Business are paying taxes, and street vendors not pays taxes???
best all bussiness close and move out of state
When you get angry, just remember one thing: you voted for Bass
Mayor doesn't work on weekends 😂
When does she ever work?
What about street vendors , they're blocking side walks???
Shows how much the city love the homeless
The businesses shouldn't have to pay any taxes while any homeless live there.
Another example of government pissing on hard working people..
The Country has gone to 💩!
Stand your ground we pay taxes
What's wrong is right and what's right is wrong here folks. They take ages to remove the tents but only seconds to remove planters. Go figure. FJB
Thank u newsom
I was homeless twice, so this isn't me being heartless. The more difficult it was to be homeless, the more l didn't want to be. There are people in power who want the worst for people.
Keep voting for these people and this is what you get . Also remember the agenda is to bring the working people down and to protect the rights of criminals first. The agenda is called ...
There is something else at play hear. this dose not add up, its like there trying to make things worse for some reson
very bright lighting is also a deterrent, as is any kind of slope or gradient, narrow meandering pathways and then early morning sweeps to move any sleeping individuals. Works in Paris.
Best way to anticipate the city's actions is to understand which action will contribute to the city's destruction
Calling the kettle black
For every tree they take away, they must replace it with 2 tents
Homelessness is big business to someone folk.
Damn people need to protest against the city
You guys voted for the wrong mayor
But they wont tell the scientologists anything huh
Honestly there’s so many homeless people out here they will find a place in between those planters if need be….. They’re “Homless” if they know anything it’s to adapt! 😩
sue the city, period.
Seriously!!
And these planters provide an outdoor bathroom facilities for the homeless!
Imagine that!
😂 y’all keep voting democrat 😂
Don’t remove them , just like the homeless are not removed
Stop letting people use drugs. Why do they act like this is rocket science?
I applaud these small business and what they are doing to make the streets safe. I do not like what the city of LA is doing to increase crime and filth.
Greater concern for liability..fall over a planter and sue city
Stink garbage and the impositions of un paying tenants on the sidewalk is A level acceptable.
How crazy!
Who’s the genius that thought of this idea? Ridiculous.
Look better than the tents
The planters ARE NOT in the way. Code requirements on open sidewalk 48" to 60" research this for yourself.
start voting them out.. " the city " , who ever they are.. get them out.
Impeach Karen Bass.
LOVE THE PLANT IDEA!, WHO EVER DOESN'T GO MARRY A BUM AND HAVE HIM LIVE AT YOUR HOUSE THEN IF YOU WANT TO HELP SO MUCH 🤣
Recall Karen bass and all city council
"We refuse to solve the problem and we wont allow you to solve it either"
The tents are an “obstruction “, why not have them removed in 24?🙄
