The Los Angeles City Council on Friday approved a controversial West L.A. housing facility for homeless people that has sparked opposition among some local residents and business owners.
The site is located in Council District 5, where open space for interim housing is hard to find. Currently, there are only 100 interim beds in the entire district. "They had their vote already. They don't want to listen to us. She shut us up from day one. This was all done secretively," said Vita Lucia, a longtime resident of the neighborhood.
"We absolutely will go out of business if this takes place. Not only because we're a family owned business. But because the area has already been hit so hard. This is the last straw and the nail in the coffin," said Katherine Nilsen, who manages a business near the site.
