When will BID make their needle count public? Also We have a huge Norway and Roof Rat population explosion in Venice. There are dozens of these rodent burrows along the fence of Google next to a very large polluted encampment. Typhus is just one of the many diseases one can get from theses native rats. Without Rat Proof trash cans and rat Inspections the residents and the sidewalk campers are in harms way. Combine this with an 1800 unit Public Storage that has for years had an illegal Dumping problem and nearby storm drains that funnel this pollution directly onto our beach makes this a ground zero for the next disease outbreak. The LAPD should stop their practice of selective ticketing that forces these folks to camp literally on top of these rodent burrows. Having Googles’s 24/7 CCTV cameras for the LAPD’s surveillance is still not worth the health and crime risk to our neighborhood on Rose, Sunset,3rd and beyond.
