PANDEMIC PARTY HOUSES-The list of problems our city government has left to fester is long and troubling, and party houses operating in short-term rentals sat far from the top of that list.
Now a New Year’s Eve shooting has moved the issue up a few spots, at least in the quiet Beverly Grove neighborhood. Think of it as Number 3 with a bullet.
Like their counterparts across LA, homeowners and residents in Beverly Grove have begged the city to clamp down on short-term rentals and party houses. For more than a year, pleas to the Council office, the City Attorney, and the LAPD have met with sympathy, finger-pointing, and inaction.
