A Los Angeles city councilman asked fellow council members Thursday to consider special zones for people who sleep in RVs and cars in Venice.
L.A. Councilman Bill Rosendahl said the overnight camping sites could be city property, church parking lots, industrial areas and other places away from neighborhoods.
The practice of the homeless using their vehicles as sleeping shelters has created a quality of life issue for people living in Venice neighborhoods. The homeless campers have been accused defecating and urinating outside as well as taking parking spaces away from homeowners.
