Situated underneath a 405 Freeway overpass, one of Los Angeles’s most dangerous homeless encampments—located near Venice Boulevard and Globe Avenue and straddling Culver City and the City of Los Angeles—was cleared Oct. 24 by officials from both cities.

“The Venice and Globe site is a unique challenge because one side of the street is in Culver City and the other side is in the City of Los Angeles,” Culver City Spokesman Dustin Klemann told The Epoch Times.
