@@Kevin-mk6jo I hear ya. The biggest part of the problem is that the "blue" states with a big problem are more desirable to housed and homless people. They are warmer and allow for outdoor living year-round, have high populations, thus expensive housing markets, and some "red" states have shipped many of their homeless to them. That all makes it much worse. We have some good programs to house and help them, but many are not helpable. Personally, I'd like to see labor camps opened to get them off of the streets, off drugs, on psych meds, on a schedule, and put to work. However, there are different reasons for homelessness, thus different strategies are needed.
I bet you complain about welfare! But expect our state and local government to dish out business and corporate welfare??? Weren't these companies saving their monies. Taxpayers shouldn't be saving anybody. Especially companies that act elite by catering to the wealthiest musicians. Can't they afford to move elsewhere???
The city has been sued by homeless advocates such as the ACLU. A judge agreed with them and forced the city to stop removing homeless from the streets without first offering them shelter/housing. He's also forcing the city to spend $1billion to build them apartments.
Because what you see here is on every sidewalk and every corner. Even after it's been cleaned up they come back a few days later. You can't force these violent transients to accept housing. They don't want it. Homeless that do want help get it and get housing. The rest refuse it and want to live this life. I can't drive down Sunset in this area because there's always a transient having a meltdown and throwing stuff into traffic including large things like garbage bins. It's an open air asylum all over the city. Can't walk anywhere.
Just terrible to watch this ( other than drooling over the space & gear ) I had my studio business ( Winslow Ct Studio ) at Santa Monica & Gower for 22 years. That studio was considered to be one of the first studios ever built in the world for sound for films way back in the early 1900's. ( was an RCA & Columbia location - & others ) Anyways , 2018 my studio was robbed. The guy broke in through the roof / heavily barred skylights early one Sunday morning. The guy did a LOT of damage & we caught him in progress as he was trying to leave from the roof. I had him on video tape , had his D.N.A. cus he ate all of the food that was in the lounge & left a mess as well as us even catching him with a bunch of my items on the building's roof. He was released later on the same day - somebody posted his bail , the detectives would not & NEVER called me back after multiple calls. They just blew me off. That was extremely frustrating and disappointing. They had ZERO interest in helping me in any way. THAT was the slap in the face wake up call. When I went to court ( the culprit - an early 20's AA male dressed as a utility worker ) didn't even look like the same person. Dressed not like a million bucks for court but more like 2 million bucks. Anyways, prior to entering the courtroom the D.A. said he'll be sent for a 90 day phys ch evaluation so even though you are here today you won't need to appear. & that was that. I never heard a word again. The system & the city do not care. The fact that this could happen to the historic SSS is letting you know that nothing is sacred to those who don't care.
Oh, no. This is awful for you. Who in the hell is running the legal system?? Damn-intelligent high school students could interpret and apply the laws better than what ever is there now. How disheartening for the world of music and decent people.
I doubt TS walked to 7/11 by herself! In fact she most likely had some Assistant to the Assistant to the 2nd Assistant get it for her! Showbiz! You know!
Taylor swift never would be walking to a 7-11 by herself anyway anywhere anytime ever ! Never ! She was never accosted , shes a billionaire surrounded by an army of armed body guards 24 7 12 52 365 😅😅
The Supreme Court left the west with the inability to stop the homeless from camping on the public land (unless there are enough shelter beds for them), but keeping house on a sidewalk has other issues. Littering, disabled access, safe pedestrian right of way, trespassing on private property (if the complex is beyond the street easement which is four feet I think), California Vehicle Code 22651(k) which states a vehicle is only allowed to park in the same spot on a public street for up to 72 hours and these issues probably are not covered by the Idaho 9th Federal Circuit Case Martin v. Boise. allowing camping?
Almost correct. The 9th Circuit Court has done this. The Supreme Court is currently considering the issue, and is our last/best hope for solving this insane situation. If they don't, it's time to abandon much of the western united states.
Well the city of L.A. is pretty much determined to allow the homeless to do literally anything and everything, anywhere they want to, with no enforcement or consequences whatsoever. So, this is what they get. The larger story, that the mainstream liberal media doesn't report, is the enormous exodus of decent people out of this city and the state of CA in general.
This is so sad! I used to record out of Sunset Sound, the Record Plant on 3rd and Westlake Audio - back in the 80's - Shot hoops with Prince and Jessie Johnson of the TIME in the little courtyard at Sunset Sound, we would play a few rounds of H.O.R.S.E. - Prince would play a little of what he was working on, then kick us out so he could get back to work. The good ol days. I was a VERY early adopter of Cubase and Protools and saw the writing on the wall regarding Big Studios. We used to pay $1500 a day for lockouts, but then it got to where you could do most of your recording at your home studio, or in my case I had a personal studio in Culver City in a Office park where I payed $200 a month rent, and would also rent it out to artists to record demos. Then I would do additional tracking and mixing at the Big studios and pocket the rest. I left the U.S. in 2000. and to see L.A. in such decline was not imaginable. The homeless encampments look like war torn third world country. I hope Sunset Sound can get some assistance from the city to clean u the area, but it seems like ALL your politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike have sold out.
The homeless are ignored in L.A., for all intents and purposes. If you left the USA in 2000, then I guess you are not aware that rent on a one bedroom apartment currently starts at $2.5k per month in L.A. Couple that with a very stagnant job market, and this is what you have. There are also many folks living in their cars now due to being priced out of the rental market. Most are working full time jobs. It's rough, especially if you compare it to the way things were in 2000.
California has always been a magnate for these people but also the so-called progressive liberal policies of our elected officials and courts have exasperated the problem in California. I am not unsympathetic to the plight of my fellow man But this is unacceptable these people can't be allowed to drag down a city ,neighborhood or community.
Indeed. But there's a market for this kind of studio with its unique equipment, hardware and talent. I went to film school down the street a decade ago. When i returned, I was at a loss of words at how many tents lined the streets. And that was before covid. I hope we find a solution to this crisis, because I don't see one happening any time soon. Billions allocated keep getting wasted.
All you have to do is give these homeless free tent homes out in the middle of the desert with free food, beer and cigarettes, i bet you they would leave.....😅
Yes. The homeless make some of the best cities in this country less enjoyable because of the safety issues that come with them. Not all, but many of them are unsafe to be around. The last time I was in San Diego I saw a guy smoking what appeared to be crack out of a pipe in downtown like it was a normal day. It was very shocking to see. And there were tons of them. Phoenix is even more disturbing. Something has to be done because people who work for a living should not have to foot the bill for people who waste their life away doing drugs. Even more alarming is the fact that our governments will turn a blind eye to our own citizens in need but will provide shelter and sustenance to illegal immigrants who are breaking the law by coming here. All of this is backwards. However, I'd rather our tax dollars go to this issue than overseas or to the illegals. When are we going to get someone in these positions of leadership that will do what's right for us and not for everyone else? As much wealth as California and other states have, this should not be an issue and it should not fall on the citizens to find a solution or bear the burden of this problem.
Like any wise person- the family should have seen this coming and sold out a decade ago and relocated to a society that is safe and productive. Noe they can’t even sell because no one will buy it at that location.
But.... Taylor is progressive... what happened lol U can always count on progressives making everything progressively worst... keep voting the same, people.
the city council member could request a clean up. I assume it is one of the socialist members of the council, who will not do that. Just an fyi. you actually can clean up pockets of homeless if the council member makes a request. check that one. i learned the hard way; even in venice areas are being cleaned up due to traci parks taking action. to have all the tents right outside, gotta take action into your own hands...
Key word: Changing neighborhood If this business was do that great and would have saved their monies previously. Why can't they relocate to safer spaces. Hire security? I'm tired of the 'woe is me card'. I'm tired of businesses expecting "a business or corporate welfare bail out". They figured how easy it was during the pandemic. Where city government bent over backwards to save businesses. Believe me, these homeless aren't asking for condos either. For anybody to step over anybody as a saving priority!
Another key word: Changing times As legendary as Sunset Sound is, its services simply are not needed to the extent that they once were. Musicians are recording in their bedroom studios now. Hit songs are being created in bedrooms. That wasn't even possible prior to more or less the late 1990s. Before that, only the wealthy had home recording studios. The studio services that are still needed are the mastering studios (Bernie Grundman, etc.) and even their days are numbered with some of the new mastering software that's coming out.
We absolutely have to vote Hugo Soto-Martinez out when it’s time. He’s made it abundantly clear homelessness is not a priority for him. It’s sad that he would not help a business owner that’s been in the neighborhood for years, with such iconic history. DO NOT VOTE FOR HUGO SOTO-MARTINEZ. He does not care about the cleaning up the neighborhood or helping local business owners.
The socialist councilperson for that area, Comrade Hugo Soto-Martinez, is useless. And the catholic church right across the street feeds the bums six days a week. Until that stops, the bums are going nowhere.
It's an iconic studio. The Doors, The Beatles so many more have recorded there. All that history gone cause we have been forced to give into violent transients needs. No.
You would think that people involved in music could be creative about making the neighborhood better instead of blaming homelessness on the victims. But, no.
