  3. the task force did a sweep a while ago and only the very few 10 out of 300 people really wanted the service of housing , free medical , food and training... what do you do with the ones that were early release out of prison that can not get jobs because they can not get housing and some want to take there drugs and live a "free life" that is non conforming to the norm. What do you do with those people? Our crimie is much higher, people are more desperate and now with the increase in homeless from influx of other states as well as what has happened to this state. I am a native here and just disgusting at what has happened . This is a gorgeous state, I wish people would wake up and look what is actually happening. the immigration issue as well , sactuatury state??? what good is it doing ? YOU can not even take care of the people who reside here and born here!! What a disgrace this has become.

  5. To Mayor Garcetti and the LA City Council. Shame on all of you for not solving the homeless problem in our City. My vote for you Mr. Mayor was a mistake. Grab the bull by the horns as they say and take charge to resolve the homeless problem in Los Angeles starting now. Get agressive, do your job.

  7. Roxan S Hartstein the one off of the 405 was started by the homeless Encampment located near the Sunset Bl. overpass. How many homes were lost or damaged by that fire. Where are the ones who started that fire today?

  9. I wish they would patrol all of the areas and remove this homeless or whom ever is taking up a spot in the protected land !!!! Get them to the city with empty lots or unused buildings that are vacant !!! Our little land protected areas and parks are being Destroyed !! What was the point of working so hard to clean and beautify this area when the dam city is letting it get destroyed!! What a waste of my time and everyone's time, tax payers and property owners who have to deal with this crap . The trash is horrible let alone not being able to enjoy the walking paths and biking paths at the fear of being assaulted!. What do we need to do to protect this area . It is bringing down the property values with this issue.
