Just a few months ago, local leaders touted the clearing of homeless encampments from VeniceBeach. Now, local residents say the tents and the homeless have returned. What went wrong? Eyewitness News reporter ABC7Amy is live - Tonight at 11 from ABC7.
Just last summer, hundreds of unhoused people and their tents were removed from large encampments along the Venice boardwalk and moved to supportive housing.
"It's almost beyond frustration. It's comical," said resident Dave Turner."The mismanagement of it has not served anyone well."Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice, has faced backlash over his handling of the homeless crisis. Critics accuse the councilman of inaction that they say has led to a growing homeless population in their neighborhoods.
Before last year's cleanup, residents said fights, fires and even shootings were happening at the encampments.
