The feral are back
Bigger and Better on opposite side of the street. This is insanity. Start calls again. I am so upset.

Not sure if any of you have noticed, but there is a new bum who's built a condominium on the sidewalk close to the Walgreen's. It's a very large tent and the thing that disturbs me is that he's got a hibachi for cooking food. This is not something I enjoy seeing in general, but certainly not during fire season. I have contacted officer Robert Benavidez with the following message and I suggest you do the same: (818) 634-0978 Mobile " Good afternoon Officer. We met at a neighborhood of watch meeting a few years ago at the corner of Addison and Bellaire in ValleyVillage. Calling to let you know that we have another vagrant set up right around Coldwater Canyon and Magnolia who has a fire going for cooking with a little hibachi grill, etc. This being fire season with winds I sure don't feel comfortable having an open fire like that. Maybe you and your team can take a look. Thank you. -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

New Bum Magnolia & Coldwater -- LAPD kicks the can...
5
What a disappointing response from LAPD, who clearly has the wrong take on the situation. Ever since SCOTUS ruled the Grant Pass law was Constitutional, the city's charter has been a legal tool to remove the bums, no matter how many inches they leave clear. They're simply not allowed to camp out on the streets. Anyway, here's the response we got, which is stupid. Nobody in Valley Village or other neighborhoods was threatened by fire. "My apologies, we have been assigned to the fires for the last week. North Hollywood division has been running a skeleton crew. We are extremely low on resources as most of the department. A couple things though, first off that area is actually Van Nuys division. I don't know if their senior lead officers are available. Because should be going to Van Nuys division to respond out for criminal activity. Based on that picture, there is not anything for me to enforce here. As long as they leave 36 inches there is not enforceable violations. All of these homeless issues should be handled by LAHSA. You can go on their website and make a request for them to response. My experience has been that they do not follow up with what the outcome is. I have also talk to your new council members office regarding this specific issue. And what we can do moving forward to make sure sanitation is responding out to Mark and clean up this mess. Unfortunately police have been removed for most of this equation other than the standby and make sure there is not a crime being committed when they clean up this mess. I would really put some pressure on the mayors office and your council office to change some of our policies. I would be as enraged as you if this was in my neighborhood. I will go out there and make contact with those individuals and see if I can offer some outreach when I get a chance. I can't tell you we are going to be on tactical alert for at least another couple weeks and we are going to be mostly redeployed down to the Palisades for now. Again, sorry for my late response, I just have not been able to get to my phone or my emalls" -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

MAGA in, GASCON OUT!!

Just a quick note to all of you who, like me, did all we could to restore sanity to our world. Nationally, Trump won BOTH the Electoral College AND the popular vote. That's a mandate. Closer to home, we dumped Gascon, which is YUGE for the City of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, we're stuck with "Senator" Schiff, but that's a battle for another day. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL! -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon

SCOTUS FINALLY boots homeless bums off the streets!

This is what we've been waiting for. The Supreme Court has reversed the Grants Pass decision, which restores municipalities' rights to kick bums off public streets: https://www.westsidecurrent.com/news/breaking-supreme-court-reverses-ruling-on-grants-pass-homelessness-laws-declares-no-violation-of-cruel/article_8ac75ba0-3559-11ef-8062-cb6b27d302cb.html Now we just have to get the bums in office to enforce the laws already on the books -- Rob Frankel Chief Curmudgeon
