Opinion: Are Los Angeles officials manipulating the public on homelessness?
The cat is out of the bag on the San Vicente homeless encampment.
KTLA 5 News interviewed encampment resident James Boss, identified as someone who has lived on the streets off and on for more than 13 years. He said on camera, “They told us to come over here. I mean, the sheriffs and the police department told us to come over this way because they were going to offer us housing.”
Part of the answer was uncovered by KNX News’ Craig Fiegener in an interview with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Fiegener asked the mayor about a statement from City Council member Katy Yaroslavsky, who represents Council District 5, in which the San Vicente encampment is located. For the record, real estate in this area is among the priciest on the planet. Four million people live in the city of Los Angeles, and the Beverly Grove neighborhood is unaffordable to probably 3.5 million of them.
