LOS ANGELES—Some residents are asking for help from the state because, they say, the city has not responded to their pleas for help after a string of fires—sparked by homeless encampments—and four homeless people were shot near the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve, the city’s largest wetland in Playa del Rey.
Lucy Han, a Playa del Rey resident and founder of Friends of the Jungle—a local environmental advocacy nonprofit—told The Epoch Times she’s now asking the state to send wardens to clear out the encampment and offer services to the homeless.
