"With swelling transient encampments abutting seven-figure homes, the beachside enclave has emerged as a flashpoint for the inequality shaping Los Angeles — and a real-world test case for the liberal ideology of the area’s showbiz residents."

Funny how the most glaring examples of inequality are in the most liberal areas of the country🤔 Could it be that their ideas and policies are misguided?

White leftists hate minorities and the homeless and want nothing to do with them.  All their public bs and mamby pamby nonsense is just virtue signaling.

I'm down in Venice about once a week and we are also a sponsor of the Muscle Beach Championship contests from May-Sept and the boardwalk is literally a shithole, it's really sad. It's worse now than was 30+ years ago. It's really bad.

How can that be?  Baygbm was on here not long ago touting what a great job Jerry Brown did for California.

Coach next time you are down there, pull out your phone and take pics. It's not that I doubt what you say, it's just that sometimes people have a negative filter and see what they want to see.

I had actually shot a quick video last May of part of the boardwalk by the weight pen but deleted it when was cleaning out video and pics from my phone. I’ll be down there again probably on Sunday then when I start my contest prep in a few weeks I’ll be there about 3-4 times a week.

But back when I shot that vid in May, it literally reminded me of the streets of Tijuana with the filth. But their homeless situation is out of control

I guess people in San Francisco are imagining all the human shit on the sidewalk.

As a rule of thumb, I generally question the judgement of a man who uses his butt hole as a vagina.

Not me.  I don't care what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms with consenting adults.

I was in Venice Beach a month ago and it’s as bad as you say it is
I was quite taken aback how many rough / homelessness there were.
Tents & people sleeping on the beach right across from beach front
Property 15/20 ft away. Some of the little side roads / alleys strewn
With rubbish & looking very shabby.
And this was during the day !!!
Let alone what it’s like at night.

I recall your saying that living in Austin you became immune to seeing homeless. Would that indicate that there is a homelessness problem in that liberal enclave as well?
