VENICE, Calif.—After months of trying to get city officials’ attention, residents finally gained enough support to get a violent homeless encampment cleared outside of the Abbot Kinney Memorial Library in Centennial Park this week.
The encampment, which popped up sometime after Thanksgiving last year, was adjacent to million-dollar apartment buildings across the street on S. Venice Boulevard and less than half a mile away from a high-end shopping strip on the famed Abbot Kinney Boulevard.
