L.A. Residents Demand Recall of Council Member Mike Bonin over Homeless Beach Plan

by Joel B. Pollak

Residents of Los Angeles are furious at City Council member Mike Bonin over his plan to move homeless people to “temporary” shelters at local beaches.

Signs demanding Bonin’s recall have begun popping up on lampposts and laws in the 11th district, which Bonin represents.

As Breitbart News reported this week, the City Council’s Homeless and Poverty Committee voted 4-1 to approve a feasibility study for Bonin’s plan, which he defends as temporary measure that will restore public space for residents in the long run.

Breitbart News described the plan in April:

Touting what he calls an “everything in” approach to homelessness, Bonin posted his plan last week, which includes a motion to study a “temporary site for single-occupancy tiny homes or safe camping at the county-owned parking lot at Will Rogers State Beach” in Pacific Palisades; similar sites at Dockweiler Beach in Playa Del Rey and Fisheran’s Village in Marina Del Rey; and a “temporary site specifically for RV safe parking at the county-owned parking lot” at Dockweiler.
