Spielberg, Ben Affleck, others may have to make way for homeless in their swanky LA locales

Some well-to-do neighborhoods near Los Angeles that are home to Hollywood stars may soon see homeless camps like those that litter downtown as the number of people living on the street continues to rise.
The Washington Examiner reports that thousands of homeless have now crammed into a two-mile strip of Venice, home to an outdoor beachside gym where the likes of former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger and others pumped iron. Venice is only about three miles square, but there are an estimated 4,000 homeless people who now live there, Soledad Ursua, a member of the Venice Neighborhood Council’s Board of Directors, told the outlet.
That is nearly double the number of homeless in Venice last year and is close to surpassing the 4,600 or so homeless who live on Skid Row.
