dozens of homeless people sleeping on the concrete within sight of this Skate Park, why not take the time, energy and resources wasted on keeping a few kids from skateboarding and help the vulnerable who have nowhere to go. this is so stupid

to be clear; i support measures to discourage people from gathering i just dont see why these resources are devoted to keep people from skating but a blind-eye when it comes to helping people who sleep on the street WHO ARE LITERALLY within a few hundred feet of this skatepark

this scene was yesterday in Venice Beach Los Angeles, 5 blocks from the skatepark. maybe those who run this city should take the sand they used to keep kids from skateboarding and put out this fire, maybe use the heavy machinery to build these people a place to live.

all the tents in this video are where people sleep, this isnt a farmers market or an outdoor art fair. this is the reality for so many people in a neighborhood with a median home price of nearly $2 million.

lived in NYC for 20 years and never experienced the outrage we experience every day in LA. how can policy priorities be so fucked that getting people off the streets, getting help for mental health/addiction and fixing the crime that comes w homelessness isn't number 1?? how?

here's more video from the same person who filmed the skatepark being filled

- you can see the skatepark in context, just how close it is to people sleeping on the street, in tents, in filth that surely is a health concern to everyone.

Venice Beach is often considered LA's #1 tourist attraction, even if the people who run this city don't care about those with no place to sleep they must care about how much money they're losing by having their #1 attraction overrun with human shit+piss. touropia.com/tourist-attrac
