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
