Have you noticed Venice getting better? Are there less aggressive transients around town? If you have not noticed a change (I haven’t) then we must continue with week four of the write in and call in campaign. 20-40k people read this site each week, and if 10% of you care enough we can make change happen. Do this if you have not already.

Homeless on the Venice Canals, Venice Beach

For the last three weeks Yo! Venice! posted about a “write in” campaign intended to make Venice Beach a safer place for residents. It is only through continued efforts that this campaign will be taken seriously, so we are reposting this again to let residents know about it. If you wrote in last week and do not feel the situation has changed, write in again this week.

This is a no win issue, but, I'd put up with the bums a bit longer rather than have the Pacific Legal Foundation get involved.  They are usually for big property owners against the Coastal Commission.  They're in favor of taking endangered animals (bald eagle) off the list, opposed to afirmative action, in favor of filling in wetlands in order to build shopping centers, in favor of restricting beach access, etc.  Google them and read their history.

I haven't noticed it getting better, in fact it's worse in Penmar and up and down Lincoln Blvd. The guy waliking in that picture has been seen repeatedly in and around Lincoln and coincidentally the burglary and burglary theft from auto rates have jumped up substancially in Penmar. Anecdotally the seecurity guards at Lincoln Place have said that they are experiencing break-ins in boarded up buildings and that they are being used as shooting galleries and squats.

It certainly isn't getting better and will only get worse when summer comes.

Should be a shantytown by 2011 surrounded by residents with moats, dogs and fences.

Is that true?

If so, it's about damn time.
