If homeless people have the right to claim the sidewalk as their own space, businesses have the right to put decorative planters in front of their businesses.
Mayor Karen Bass, Hollywood Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez and most of the LA City Council don't care about LA businesses and the jobs they provide in the community. VOTE ALL OF THEM OUT!!!
The city’s leaders need to be held accountable to the public. They have lost their minds and need to be voted out. The anti business element has got to go
All the criminals and lawbreakers have more political clout, than the law abiding. Whether citizens or immigrants. CA is the repository for any kind of lawbreaking. And innocent people, are paying more than taxes for it. People are paying with the integrity of their businesses, and even their very lives. Anarchy reigns in CA!!
If they don't the city will run a tab (along with penalties) and one day they will take it out of your account themselves. They can also of course evict you..
Why aren’t you covering the fact that Scientology has put over 100 planters in a single city block preventing people from being able to open their passenger doors. Not to mention the weight destroying the sidewalk
@@Magnum2PI Ummm…not all concrete is the same. Also…not all loads are the same. Concrete is poured with different strengths based on the location it is being used. You can imagine a pedestrian sidewalk would require much less strength than an airport runway or a truck loading ramp. Specifically…city sidewalk is poured at 2800 psi, with 3/4” flat rock. You cant just put whatever you want on top of it, and expect nothing to happen. Even the soils underneath are only prepared for pedestrian travel. Yeah…kiddo. It wrecks the concrete. FYI: a full garbage truck driving through a street one time…is the same as 30,000 passenger vehicles. Again…not all loads are the same.
If you are going to criticize what your CONSTITUENTS are doing. Provide a viable solution. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Try operating your town without the tax income.
People are going to realize this very late, they don't want to fix the homeless problem. It's a free money revenue to the city and so on, they receive so much money to fix this crisis, but they don't ever want to fix it.
A gem of a city with no tents if they have to hide them in the sewer system you won’t see tent encampments scattered across the city. America is great at hiding its issues to the world.
Nononono. The city officials understand very well that bribe money will continue into their pockets if they destroy property values on behalf of china. which will then buy that property outright. ithas already happened. read about the jose huizar case
I just drove by there this afternoon. The homeless deadbeats, drug addicts and derelicts were camped there because the Catholic church right across the street FEEDS THEM every day. They were feeding them Mexican food this afternoon at around 3 pm in front of the church.
That’s messed up, they should be allowed to keep those planters! There’s no reason they should be removed. If the city does nothing about homeless, the planters stay!
I live in the city and we don't want the planters out. The friends of Karen Bass who make millions shuffling the tent junkies around from street to street want the planters gone. If they all movie back to Skid Row they won't be able to run their junkie shell game con.
I support business owners to have those outside planters. What the City of Los Angeles wants do to is continue having homeless people living on sidewalk and for the business owners to fail and make them sell their properties to build more homeless shelter.
The city is making a horrible decision with this. They should leave the business owners alone and work to relocate the houseless somewhere they can live with some measure of dignity.
It’s serious time for the people of this city to make a choice. Who comes first, what comes first. The average tax paying, hardworking citizen or the bum/transient living on the street. BLM or law and order. We have a choice! Vote out these terrible so called leaders in office and get some people that can make the tough choices and take back our streets and take back our city. That’s the only way this craziness ends!
I'm extremely left minded. But I feel for the small businesses & residents. We as a society need to address the homeless problem. Until we do, though, how are some nice looking planters more of an obstruction than piles of trash & human bodily wastes?
it has been addressed. It is constantly being addressed. Unhoused people are moved from point A point B to point C and they always go back out to the streets. Probably at least 90% of them anyway? I think there are three buckets we can put unhoused people in: drugs, terrible luck/bad decisions, insanity. you can only get people treatment for drugs if they wanna quit doing drugs. You can only get people help for mental illness if they accept help. The folks with bad luck? A lot of those people have probably already been moved successfully off the street.
The planters are definitely the evil doers here. Go get'em! The bathrooms at all the beaches are unuseable because bums live in them. It is a crime and they call this mess compassion.
Vote the City officials out! We government fails we the people step up. It is a lot easier to get around planters ! not so easy getting around tents and junk.
It's not the City that wants them out, it's Hugo Soto Martinez, the councilman for council district 13. He did this for the boulders that were placed on Vermont and Santa Monica to deter the vendors.
There were some warehouses off Santa Monica and Vine that had signs posted saying something like, “SIDEWALKS POWER WASHED DAILY” They didn’t have any homeless on the sidewalks. This was a few years back tho.
@thedeadbaby @thedeadbaby thinking back on what Huizar was doing as a whole, I realized it wasn't bad. The homeless situation was being contained to make way for new development. His actions are what brought back people to renovate downtown lofts, bars, and big businesses. Yeah, he shouldn't have been selling off contracts, but downtown was booming as a result. If you look at downtown now, post Huizar, it looks like the inside of a musical festival port-o-potty.
@@hellomoto9206 Imagine how much more housing there would be if he wasn't giving chinese developers exclusive access. The homeless containment only started after he was bribed enough.
It's amazing that the city can "move swiftly" when it wants to (i.e. to remove decorative plants), while dragging its feet on the actual issue of tent cities.
How long is the city expecting everyone to stay quiet and do nothing before we all explode on them? Do they think it’s ok for us citizens of LA to just sit back and allow this to continue? Eventually everyone will start protest. And it’s only logical. Something must happen for them to take us serious and show respect. They are giving more respect to the homeless than those that pay taxes. Make it make sense.
So the garden beds are obstructions but the tents are not? It seems to me that people were walking between the garden beds just fine. You can see it on the video.
Weird.. I remember a few years ago.. IF someone was sitting too long and for sure lying down and don't even think of "Camping" the POLICE would come and remove you...nowadays ANYONE can pitch a TENT anywhere and reside there..SAD how they let this behavior get so BAD, but when you let it slide and give incentives THINGS ONLY GET WORSE. .. everytime
California Street and sidewalk code section 5610: (see code) Sidewalks in front of private property are to be maintained by the the owner of the property adjacent to the sidewalk. This as of 1989. The city has no jurisduction here and is putting the property owner at risk of liability. A most stupid Code section.
KEEP THE PLANTERS IT IS OUTRAGEOUS TO TAKE THEM AWAY THEY HELP THE AIR HOW CAN THEY SAVE THEY AREMORE HARMFUL THEN A TENT AND PEOPLE BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK THEY NEED TO HELP THE HOMELESS WITHOUT HARMING THE BUSINESS AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SHOP SAFELY
By the way, that theater was the location where Charles Chaplin performed for the first time. It should have been under a national monument protection.

Address the homeless issues that plague the city. Instead of focusing on the planters

Anti-business is the core concept of left wing politics
PFFT! The city will enforce against the businesses plagued by the homeless. But leave the homeless alone?!
Right.
Our tax dollars SO NOT WORKING!!
Because they can get money out of the businesses from fines, can't get money from homeless folks
But if it’s a main street tourist attraction it will instantly be clear of any obstruction…can’t lose those profits.

Send the homeless to Bass's house and keep them there. Lets see how her neighbors respond to her loving the 'unhoused'
Why are they paying taxes, again?
So that the politicians running these cities can keep buying more real state for themselves while everyone else becomes unable to afford McDonald's.
They should cease immediately. And sue the city for lost wages.
Keep paying taxes 😂😂😂😂😂

The Democrat Way.
Illegitimate govt
How much further can they destroy small businesses and people that pay taxes????????
All part of the plan to destroy private ownership. The Democratic Party wants communism -- and the authoritarianism that always comes along with it.
Bigger question is why are they paying for a product they are not receiving?
Tents and garbage: they can stay
Boxes with 🌵: they gotta go
Knew it’s coming 😂 city is a joke
"Business owners are frustrated." There are almost no businesses left in that neighborhood.

Planters are lovely! Likely that a majority of the homeless who were camping in front of these businesses are not from California.
LOL, the city is a joke
Where I live camping is only allowed in designated camping sites. I can’t imagine tents in the city. They would be removed instantly.
Sounds like Xanadu..

The planters are a vast improvement to the city and economy. LA leaders are shooting themselves in the foot!
Take the city to court
so the planters are obstructions, but the camps are not considered obstructions even though those take up the entire sidewalk. got it
Anyone else shocked they didnt put a tent around the planter and use the trough as a bed?
Why, to make room for campers? Re sell the potted plants? Were the plants guilty of making racial or gender offensive remarks?
Just install loud speakers and play loud classical music like some 7/11 do!
Kinda works
