VENICE, Calif.—“It’s like a game of whack-a-mole,” 30-year Venice resident Sean O’Brien told The Epoch Times. “They move one encampment and another pops up.”

O’Brien is one of the many residents of the beachside neighborhood of Los Angeles who said they’ve become involved in a tussle with city officials in its handling of new homeless encampments that are reappearing after a widespread effort to clear the Boardwalk last summer failed to thoroughly solve the problem.
