City Ignores Business Owner’s Pleas For Help: ‘Downtown LA Is A Hellscape’


--- Quote ---NBC4 in Los Angeles reported Tuesday that a business owner in downtown LA has been trying for months to get the city to clean up a homeless camp set up in an alley directly behind his business. However, even after a fire forced him to call the fire department, no one from the city seems interested in cleaning up the mess.


--- Quote ---“Downtown LA is a hellscape now. And I don’t know who’s in charge of keeping it clean and nice but they’re not doing it. And I think that’s pretty shameful,” Josh Kaye said…

A week before, Kaye, who works at Lunch Money clothing, said there was a fire in the encampment that nearly jumped the fence to his business…

“We had to call the fire department. They came out, opened the gate, saw the carnage, told us you know what, sorry guys, there’s nothing we can do — can’t touch it, can’t clean it up. You should contact 311,” he said.

Of course, it’s not the fire department’s job to clean up garbage, but when Kaye called LA’s 311 line he was ignored. He has called the city at least 15 times in the past 5 months and no one has ever come to clean up the alley.

The Golden-Egg-Laying Goose has asked ICE for asylum because his life is in danger.
