BY:Tara Devine, Venice Beach BID

[Good morning, Councilmembers.]

In Venice, a woman named Shai lives on our streets. Shai is fifteen months older than I. She loves fashion. She once lived in a market-rate apartment in Council President Wesson's district. I don't know what happened then. But I know a lot about how she lives now.

Shai struggles with both mental illness and addiction. She uses alcohol, marijuana, meth and possibly more. I strongly suspect she is exploited for sex work.

Shai receives government assistance and is in the CES, but refuses most help. She says she does not want to leave her possessions because they will be stolen.

Shai’s unique personal possessions were lost or stolen a long time ago. She has an ID, and a debit card we once helped her replace.

Shai is a hoarder. Last week she had a coat rack she called a Christmastree. Sometimes she hides under mounds of trash bags. She stores her own waste.

Shai is a firestarter. She tears trashed possessions into small pieces and uses them as fuel. Sometimes Sanitation, LAPD or LAFD come out to address the hazards. These interactions are stressful for her and don't build confidence that government can helpher.

Shai isn't winning under the status quo. Shai’s neighbors aren't winning either.

The failure to address personal property stored on City streets in a reasonable, efficient and consistent way is intensifying a sense of powerlessness, hopelessness and anger, for both the housed and the unhoused in Venice.

Any solution will almost certainly involve the court, as well as the plaintiffs who bring lawsuit after lawsuit against you. Past settlements have not improved the situation. What’s before you is NOT a solution.

k\<\

USO- SS r \% - 0"\6 lMy name is Rabbi Moshe Greenwald. I am the rabbi of Downtown Los Angeles. My wife and I live on 7th and Broadway with our 4 children whom we have raised here for the past 12 and a half years.

About two years ago there was another such meeting of a topic closely related in these very chambers. After hearing all remarks a councilman who is sitting here today said and I quote verbatim: “thank you all who care about the neighborhood and the homeless problem. This has been a problem for a long, long time and it's good to see newcomers speak up”.

We are NOT newcomers. Many of us here have lived here, 10, 15 even 20 years. This is our home, business, and community, we have watched it become unbearable as misguided decisions continue to emanate from this city council. My 4 children have been threatened multiple times in front of their home by transients, they have witnessed unspeakable lewd and indecent exposure and sexual acts that NO CHILD in the world should EVER be subjected to.

I have friendships with all residents despite race, color, creed or economic background including many of the homeless. I speak on behalf of all of them when I urge you not to settle on Mitchell which would make our dire situation worse for everyone - especially the homeless who are suffering the most as anyone can see.

The Olympic in 2028 is a wonderful accomplishment but until the core of our city is made safe and tolerable you have no right to celebrate.

Thank you.
