LOS ANGELE, CA In a message to constituents, Los Angeles Councilman Mike Bonin Wednesday defended his effort to explore housing homeless people in temporary cabins or camping sites in certain westside parks and beach parking lots. These are not encampments. They are an emergency response an alternative to encampments, and they are temporary solutions meant to get people off the streets and into homes, Bonin wrote in an email to constituents.
Candidates for the Westchester/Playa del Rey Neighborhood Council plan to hold a virtual Meet the Candidates event Wednesday night, and some residents plan to speak out against Bonin s proposal, saying it is permitting homeless to camp in L.A. s parks where children go, according to an email by Westchester resident Erik Laykin.
