A Los Angeles business owner is calling on officials to take action to remove a homeless encampment in her area that she says has nude inhabitants and is deterring customers.
The woman, who asked to be identified only as “Debra,” told Eyewitness News that she has owned a hair business near San Vicente Boulevard in Beverly Grove for two decades, but issues with the nearby unhoused population increased more recently.
“I have a nice clientele, but now my clientele is getting to the point where they just don’t feel comfortable,” she said, noting that she is also nervous to stay open past 6 p.m.
One photo taken on Tuesday shows a naked woman lounging on a couch at the encampment.
“I saw the couch one day out there and I think, ‘Oh my God,'” Debra recalled.
