The movie-famous Venice beach had become an open door warehouse for “homeless” and transients. Crime went up, drug use, vermin could be seen, business shut down because regular folks simply refused to risk themselves to the madness of being socially “just” to the downtrodden.

We are talking probably a billion or two of prime California real state being held hostage by “feelings” that did nothing to fix the original problem and only created a slew more. Apparently the powers that be finally had their asses chewed enough and clean up was mandated not only in Venice Beach but other locations as well.

And amazing what happened after the clean up is done.

There might be a lesson there which I will predict it will be lost soon enough.
