Venice Beach, LA in 2020: Homelessness & Tent City

Thursday, October 22, 2020

While browsing on Youtube, I watched some current videos about the homelessness in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. LA is being destroyed, filled with unemployed homeless people, and no one is helping them. I think this is how it is in all the cities, LA, NYC, Chicago, etc.

September 2020 in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, CaliforniaWow, I didn’t realize that Venice Beach, Los Angeles is now filled with homelessness. Los Angeles is going downhill like NYC. Sad, a homeless man’s tent burned down.

It is destroyed with graffiti. They look like nomads, living on the beach.

#3 Homeless at 9. Abused at 11. He is now 28…

A homeless man in Venice Beach talks about being homeless since he was 9. By 11, he was alone on the street. He is now 28. He was abused a lot, physically, mentally and sexually, since he was two.

Around 2010, I went there with my mother and her friend, and we checked out the art walk at Venice Beach. I also knew an African-American on old Myspace who said he often went to Venice Beach for a drum circle.

This is my snapshot I took at Venice Beach around 2010. The artwalk was very active, clean and normal. I took this photograph with my Minolta 5000 with 50mm lens film camera.
