  • 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.

      Their liberal policies encourage this.
      They reward this.
      The only reason they hauled the RVs away was because they wanted to put in a bike lane for the greenies.
      It damn sure wasnt because it was a posted school zone. If it has been, the RVs would have been gone months or years ago.

    I was homeless with 2 small girls in the 70's, my mindset was to get away from an abusive husband - now ex - but my goal was never to STAY homeless, no license so no car, never had a job or a place of my own, took a while but I did it and now, remarried 25 yrs strong, I got g-children and a great grandson, none of it wasn't handed to me and I can't begin to count how many times the rug got pull out from under me but I dug in for the long haul, to those still struggling, it may take a while but your ship WILL come in, maybe later rather than sooner but it will, the Universe isn't done with you and it's got a plan, sending all of you blessings and have a great rest of your day.

      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.

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.

      that is fine if that is what they want- to live in a tent- but just dont trash or hoard. we need 'nomad camps' in each city in the outskirts where there are rules and reg, have showers and porta potties and simple food. and more enforcement of not allowing setup tent wherever. have a recycle plant build next to these camps where they can be put to work- the able bodied ones.

      When you spend enough time fighting against these RVs....you quickly become aware, educated that the police hands are tied most often by not really the mayor but the local council person. IE: Mike Bonin, who's policies put in action years ago are still destructive to our community. There is litigation against the city as well by a RV owner. The city could be influenced by homeless advocates as well. But it's mostly Bonin's fault when looking at Venice. So it's more than saying just cops. Trust me, the cops are on the our side, not these drug lab operators, drug sellers, drug takers, pimps, hookers, thieves, etc who use RVS to support their criminal activity against our community.

    It’s about time… we had the same issues with the unhoused parking in the church parking lot and red zones. Leaving so much 💩💩 … law enforcement verified that the RVs, vans, trucks and cars were stolen, several guys were arrested for stolen goods including pewpews. The church was a Vietnamese catholic perish and many were scared being threatened with violent druggies. The problem is many tow companies have no room for the RV. So I’m glad it’s happening. In Silicon Valley Mountain View, ca had blocks and blocks of illegal parking, it took them months to remove and tow them. Also, San Jose had a homeless encampment called the “Jungle” where over 300 ppl lived on a 75 acre lot. It’s was polluting near creeks affecting wildlife and run offs into the San Fran bay. Hazmat found dead bodies in tents from OD and stabbings that were not reported. Sadly, Happy Hollow a children’s amazement park lost a lot of money because families were scared to go there. Research the “Jungle” it was crazy
