California city bans homeless tent encampments on the streets: Hundreds of people living in makeshift shelters will be forced to flee - despite decision receiving fierce backlash from Democrat council members
2023-02-20
  • Culver City voted to clear out and ban homeless tents as several flood the city

  • The ordinance will push homeless in the city to seek available housing solutions

  • City officials are working to convert motels into housing for the homeless

Culver City officials voted three to two on Monday to bar tents and other structures - and the change will come into effect when more housing models for the homeless become available, including a Project Room Key site and a designated homeless area at Virginia Parking Lot.

Dan O'Brien, Culver City Councilman, claimed officials needed to quickly take action as the neighboring City of Los Angeles' Mayor Karen Bass pledged last year to get over 17,000 homeless people into housing in her first year through a mix of interim and permanent facilities.

'A fear of mine is if we don’t have all the tools in place to help our own unhoused and Los Angeles already have the enforcement along our borders, then those who refuse housing will just cross the street into Culver City, and then further strain our resources,' O'Brien told The Los Angeles Times.

The ordinance, which has no enforcement date, allows homeless people remain on the streets with only sleeping bags and blankets. Culver City is one of Los Angeles County's 88 cities.

The ordinance will go into effect when about 100 beds are made available through various programs in the city.

#6  Yhe progressive dream of "hive cities" always lurks beneath their proposals. Soviet style apartment blocks with Japanese-style local police units and Stasi intelligence systems. Public transport, no guns, controlled media, ballot harvesting and eventually social merit scorecards linked to SNAP allocations. Once the Electoral College is eliminated in the name of "democracy", 40 cities rule the nation, and the excess raw materials and crops head to the new "mother country" across the Pacific and demokrats openly display their skill at the kowtow!

#4  Given the crime and the filth at homeless encampments, government-furnished housing is better for both the homeless and the responsible citizenry around them. Better still would be treating the mad, addicted, and ill, and finding the employable employment. It is no kindness to leave anyone at the mercy of wind, weather, and the vicious, no matter how much they might prefer that freedom.

#3  Gotta force them into government-furnished housing.

You're not too far from the truth, Bobby. One supposedly needs a 'fixed address' in a district to obtain voting privileges there.

Conveniently making room for incoming soon-to-be voters.
