Hate to break it to you, but that camp has been there for
years. Like at least 5+ years. The Onni LA Times project has been a proposal for years as well, so hard to say which came first. I'm saddened to hear it's been further delayed if not cancelled, but I'm hardly surprised. The saga surrounding the planned park across the street ought to embarrass every Angeleno. Millions of dollars spent on demolition and grading, millions more spent on the design of the proposed park, all for it to just....not move forward because the council person/mayor no longer want it? So we get a huge dusty lot surrounded by homeless camps until we develop it with tiny homes for more homeless! I believe that's the current proposal. What a mess.
