Activists occupy City Hall bathroom stalls to protest skid row toilet shortage (Los Angeles: to live in)

[jm1982]

Looks like the skid row activists are upset with Garcetti now too. Aren't the homeless activists supposed to be his base?

He's really run the city into the ground letting the homeless population explode to this point where we have a Hepatitis epidemic and have to worry about human feces on the streets.

Unbelievable really.

Protesters took graffiti-covered toilets to Los Angeles City Hall and occupied bathroom stalls on Wednesday to highlight what they called a severe hygiene shortage for homeless people on skid row.The activists tried to deliver the toilets, scribbled with slogans, to Mayor Eric Garcetti. But they were stopped at the security checkpoint by Los Angeles police, who cited safety concerns with hauling the ceramic thrones through the gilded Art Deco hallways and elevators of the landmark building.

The city plans to open a skid row hygiene center with 14 restrooms later this fall as a first step toward expanding bathroom access for homeless people citywide.
“The city is working to create new facilities in other areas of Los Angeles — because no one should be forced to live in unhealthy, dangerous, or unclean conditions while they are waiting to move into new permanent supportive housing,” Garcetti spokesman Alex Comisar said in a statement.
