EASTSIDER-First, we have another Superior Court Judge requiring the City to do something about sheltering LA’s homeless.
Then we have CD 14’s Mayor in waiting, Kevin de León, doing his usual not quite right attempt at a solution. Read on. . .
Here Comes the Judge
“Carter is overseeing an agreement between Los Angeles city and county governments in a case brought by the L.A. Alliance for Human Rights, a group of downtown business owners and residents that sued to force the city to shelter homeless people. Carter is requiring the city to find temporary shelter or permanent housing (with the county footing the bill) for several thousand homeless people — mostly those living under or near freeways, because the judge has decided that it’s unsafe to live near the toxic fumes from vehicles.”
