On Foothill Boulevard in Sylmar, residents say they are fed up with an invasion of RVs, and they say it existed long before the pandemic hit. On Wednesday, LA Councilmember Monica Rodriguez joined in an 11-to-1 vote that will immediately start removing hazardous RVs from LA streets, with full enforcement of all “no-parking” signage in May.
Jay Palmer says neighbors have reached out repeatedly to city offices to no avail.
"They need help, they need social services, they need housing, they need food and medical and they need behavioral health people to come out and talk to them," she said.Mares lives in an RV as of December of last year. He says it's because of the high prices of rent in LA. He’s also an organizer with the community group Streetwatch, and says the city has yet to offer any real solutions for those living on the street.
He worries more will call the streets home soon when eviction moratoriums end. For some residents, though, they just want their sense of safety restored.
