From the Times Editorial Board: Laws barring homeless people from sleeping in their vehicles will work only if the city holds up its end of the compromise and provides alternative parking. And that’s not happening.
The city of Los Angeles is constantly wrestling with how to balance the rights of desperate homeless people living outdoors with the rights of the rest of its residents. One area of conflict has been what to do about homeless people who live in their cars or RVs, which many Angelenos say take up too much space and dump too much trash in residential neighborhoods.
But while the law banned car-dwelling in a lot of places, it affirmatively allowed it in commercial and industrial areas. Additionally, City Council members said that parking lots across the city would be designated “safe parking” areas where homeless people could safely park, use a bathroom and work with outreach workers to get social services.
5,700 vehicles of all kinds in the city of Los Angeles in 2019. A mere 450 spaces won’t solve the problem.
