  • Venice, Los Angeles - January 31, 2024 - A significant joint operation was undertaken by the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. on Venice Boulevard in Venice, Los Angeles, targeting a homeless encampment. Three recreational vehicles (RVs) and one motorcycle were towed from the area. Prior to the towing, Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. drained the sewage tanks of the RVs, with an Environmental Officer from the City of Los Angeles overseeing the operation.
    The operation resulted in multiple arrests, following an investigation that suggested potential non-compliance with regulations and outstanding legal matters. This cleanup initiative forms part of the broader city strategy to address homelessness and promote public health and sanitation.
    Subsequent to the cleanup, a section of Venice Boulevard was closed for an upcoming construction project. Barricades were installed, and a notice from the Public Works - Bureau of Engineering was displayed, detailing the construction work involving the demolition of curb ramps, sidewalks, and curbs, as well as the installation of new light poles and underground work. The closure is anticipated to deter the return of RVs to this area, a subject of ongoing concern owing to the consistent presence and dwelling of RVs, a situation that has elicited numerous complaints from neighboring residents. The removal of the RVs garnered a positive reaction, evidenced by cheers and applause from the local community.
    The cleanup operation saw the collaboration of two waste management units: the Department of Public Works and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. The teams, donned in yellow and orange vests, were focused on segregating hazardous from non-hazardous waste, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning process. The use of protective gear by the team underscored the city's commitment to worker safety.
    Councilwoman Traci Park's Housing Coordinator played a crucial role in the coordination between various city departments, including the homeless encampment task force. Los Angeles Police Officers were present to ensure the safety and compliance of all parties involved, particularly the homeless community, focusing on maintaining cleanliness, hygiene standards, and adherence to safety guidelines.

    Those vehicles should NOT have been allowed to stay there for more than 24 hours before being towed away. The owners should also have to pay for cleanup, arrested for stealing electricity, and put in a road crew for 6 months cleaning up other homeless encampments.

      Oui c'est normalement ce qui devrait être fait , embarquer ces mobiles homes à la fourrière avec une grosse amende en conséquence pour les incivilités commises . Nous rencontrons le même problème en France avec les gitans qui occupent des endroits sur lesquels ils peuvent occuper le terrain ( payants ) , mais néanmoins préfèrent occuper des endroits gratuits et se moquent des autorités car la loi leur permet un délai de 15 jours pour évacuer les lieux qu'ils laissent la plupart du temps dans des états de saleté inacceptables c'est alors aux municipalités de nettoyer bien entendu au frais du contribuable déjà conséquent dans les petites communes ! Mais ce n'est pas encore à la hauteur des états Unis heureusement !
      Yes, this is normally what should be done, impounding these mobile homes with a large fine as a result for the incivility committed. We encounter the same problem in France with gypsies who occupy places where they can occupy the land (paying), but nevertheless prefer to occupy free places and mock the authorities because the law allows them a period of 15 days to evacuate the places that they leave most of the time in unacceptable states of dirt, it is then up to the municipalities to clean up, of course, at the expense of the taxpayer, which is already substantial in small municipalities! But fortunately it’s not yet up to par with the United States!

      I am in the bay area and can you tell you this - when you report an abandoned car to the city, the first question they ask is if the car appears to be lived in. If someone is living in it, they will not even come out to tag it. Likely the same in LA. These RV's probably had a court order to remove them which takes months. California politics at its finest.

      ​@@DadeMurphie Good thought. I am not certain but it seems as this may be an option. A problem is, and, as with this clean-up seen here, they will be replaced by another groups of junked RV's or cars in a week or so if not sooner. Community members would have to pay up again and again when we already have laws and codes on the books to prevent this from happening. 6 - 10 years ago, if someone parked a car and it was reported abandoned it would be tagged and towed given 48 hours if not moved. The people causing this chaos have more rights than those they are impacting. What a mess.

The area surrounding them looks like a landfill and smells like a pig farm. When they get too bad to live in, they (and the trash) are abandoned and they find anther RV somewhere to restart the cycle.

I drove my kids every day so I knew that they were safe and I picked them up. If I couldn't personally, I arranged for safe transportation from a very trusted friend or family member. Blame yourselves for making your children walk in unsafe neighborhoods while you're to busy to make sure they are safe. Then blame someone else instead of yourselves when something bad happens because you couldn't be bothered to protect your children, whatever form that protection takes.
