A Koreatown homeless encampment, with pickleball court and garden, is removed following complaints

On Friday morning, all that remained of the sprawling homeless encampment on Manhattan Place was a giant pile of trash and items former occupants had made their home. The encampment, on a vacant lot in Koreatown, existed for months. It was home to roughly 10 people and drew repeated complaints from neighbors in nearby apartments and condos. They said the homeless neighbors there were noisy, aggressive and posed a fire risk when they broke into an adjacent streetlight to steal power from the grid.

A homeless encampment, with pickleball court and garden, becomes both refuge and scourge

He set up camp, and as other followed suit, began to build a little community: Toward one corner of the 15,000-square foot lot, Gilbert erected a pickleball net he said he found near Wilshire Boulevard. Behind the net, where people volley from time to time, is a small garden of tomatoes, cannabis and onions that he tends to. There are at least two barbecues, one propane, one charcoal.

Koreatown parking-to-ADU conversion sparks tenant protests

The replacement of car spaces with ADUs in infamously parking-strapped Koreatown is made possible by Senate Bill 1211, which passed last year. Under that law, local agencies are not required to replace parking spaces for tenants if the spaces are demolished by owners and property managers to make way for ADUs in an effort to increase housing density. To show their opposition to the removal, tenants of the apartment building, at 5th and Kingsley, set up a peaceful protest using a long white plastic table and outdoor chairs to occupy some parking spaces.
