Honest words about Venice Beach

Harsh realities of violence, overdose and death

ACLU’s role

Housing addicts doesn’t deal with the cause of homelessness

Academic “experts” deny reality of addiction

Many homeless OD’d and died in hotel rooms given to them by SF

The politicians including @GavinNewsom know better but ideology and money keep them addicted to Housing First

Car break-ins by addicts to support their addictions are increasing

“It’s too easy... They’ll break into your car here and sell the stuff one block over”

“They’re not going to get people off [Venice] Beach. It’s not going to be like Echo Park. It’s not going to be that simple”

Without a comprehensive state-wide response, eg Cal-Psych, all the police & city can do is harass the homeless

Cruel, costly, and totally ineffective

Just giving people housing and voluntary services doesn’t work

The encampments are spiraling out of control

Addiction causes homelessness
