A legal settlement restricting the city from clearing homeless encampments on skid row has survived a court challenge, but the judge said business owners could file a separate claim if they can show that the agreement has adversely affected their property.
First in a series: Big Mama and her neighbors live in a homeless encampment in Los Angeles. Through a special housing initiative they’ll soon have the opportunity to move into apartments.Part 2: Broadway Place’s homeless residents were promised homes. Had the city forgotten them?
The city’s settlement this year with homeless people and advocates incorporated the limits that the judge set in 2016. The city also agreed to store all confiscated property and make it available for pickup within 72 hours, or if it consists of medication, medical equipment, sleeping bag or blankets, within 24 hours.
In their petition, the petitioners contended that the settlement “will only extend and worsen the [homelessness] crisis we are facing in this city.”and of withholding the terms of the deal, preventing them from jumping into the case sooner. Property owner Harry Tashidjian argued that his risk of fire damage and vandalism had increased “exponentially” in recent years, driving up his security and pest control costs.
