Business owners said the nearby encampment has been cleaned up repeatedly by the city, only for it to pop right back up.
Business owners on Sun Valley 's Randall Street say despite repeated cleanups of an extensive homeless encampment in the area, problems still persist. They say they are fed up with the local homeless population, and have taken matters into their own hands, putting up everything from huge cinder blocks to enormous trash bins on the street. One business owner even uploaded a video on YouTube, describing the enormity of the situation, showing entire sidewalks blocked by trash and encampments.
In the past, LA city officials have forbidden businesses from blocking sidewalk access, as was the case in front of a Hollywood merchant who put up planters as a deterrent, only to see the city take them away.SUGGESTED: LA County approves development of 24/7 homeless sheltersBut so far, on Randall Street, the blockade of dumpsters and cement has remained.
