Venice Beach, an iconic American landmark, has been severely affected by the growing problem of homelessness in Los Angeles.
Local authorities have allowed homeless individuals to settle anywhere they want without consequences. A shocking new video report highlights the extent of this issue.
Dems Love the Homelessness
Some people argue that Democratic leaders have enabled homelessness, as evidenced by the presence of homeless encampments across the West Coast.
The plight of Venice Beach is a prime example. About a year ago, a village of around 200 homeless individuals was removed from the area. However, the encampments have returned in full force, as shown in a shocking video report by The Daily Mail.
The footage, which lasts for about 30 minutes, reveals Venice Beach transformed into a “trash heap,” filled with blankets, tarps, and grocery carts.
According to the report, at least 120 homeless individuals have resettled in Venice Beach, erecting dozens of tents throughout the area.

‘Shelter in Place’
With the homeless encampments, the problems that Democrats seem to tolerate have resurfaced. Local residents are complaining about the mountains of garbage and random fires started by the homeless squatters.
The report highlights Los Angeles’s “shelter in place” policy, which prevents law enforcement and city officials from evicting homeless encampments.
It mentions that a homeless person can be seen in one case, enclosing themselves with a fence made of “stolen grocery carts” under a pagoda, while another homeless camp has appeared near the Venice library.
Although the person with the grocery carts was removed last week, another homeless individual quickly took their place.
It is estimated that around 75,000 people are homeless in Los Angeles County. Unless a viable solution is found, the situation is expected to worsen.
