To the editor: One of many essential causes I voted for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was that she appeared completely dedicated to ending the homelessness disaster in our metropolis. (“It’s past time for city officials to let Venice Dell homeless housing move ahead,” editorial, Dec. 9)
I discover it odd and disappointing that she has not publicly endorsed the 117-unit Venice Dell Neighborhood, which each the California Coastal Fee employees and L.A. Metropolis Council have discovered to be worthy of assist. Traci Park, the council member for Venice, has by no means endorsed this challenge, so many people wish to know what initiatives she is endorsing to assist with this disaster.
Each Metropolis Council district is liable for lowering homelessness and including inexpensive housing. Why not our district?

To the editor: The environmental safety of our valuable shoreline — and when possible lodging of public entry to it — must be a high precedence.
Our seashores are distinctive, delicate and restricted sources that have to be protected for the advantage of each the atmosphere and, the place not conflicting, the enjoyment of the general public. Proximity to the seashore shouldn’t be an element for a housing improvement for homeless those who could possibly be positioned inland at one other out there location.
There may be completely no purpose that this coastal land must be used for supportive housing.

To the editor: There’s no denying that homelessness is an issue in Venice. Sadly, town’s answer has too usually been merely clearing out encampments reasonably than offering extra everlasting housing.
The long-delayed Venice Dell challenge may assist obtain the objective of offering extra housing and providers to scale back homelessness.
Regardless of resistance to this challenge, Venice stays a caring neighborhood that wishes to help these in want.

To the editor: Why ought to taxpayers assist coastal residences for homeless individuals? A full-time minimum-wage job in California pays $2,650 per thirty days, and $800 residences abound from Barstow to Yreka.
