The L.A. City Council will discuss pursuing a legal battle over the property rights of homeless people — a case that has been framed as a bellwether for both downtown development and the future of skid row.
Lawyer Carol Sobel, who has repeatedly sued the city of Los Angeles on behalf of homeless people, is part of the legal team in a pivotal lawsuit over homeless people's property rights.
from seizing and destroying homeless people’s belongings on skid row unless officials could show the property is abandoned, threatens public health or safety, or consists of contraband or evidence of a crime.homeless people’s possessions Skid row is home to 4,200 homeless people, half of whom live in tents and ragged shantytowns along the sidewalks and alleys of the 50-block district.
Advocates contend the city violated homeless people’s constitutional rights by removing tents, blankets, clothing, medication and other possessions essential to their survival. During another arrest, a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Police Department refused Judy Coleman’s request to grab her walker and medication, and officers later thwarted her attempts to recover them, the suit said.
“Although a preliminary injunction will place additional burdens on the city to keep Los Angeles safe, to put it bluntly,“ Otero said, “plaintiffs may not survive without some of the essential property that has been confiscated.”
