[June 2021 photo] Bonin's Folly - In early April 2021 L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin set off a wave of criticism in Pacific Palisades by calling for a "feasibility analysis" into using this parking lot (as well as two other beach parking lots and LAX) to provide temporary emergency shelter for the homeless while work is done on long-term and interim housing solutions.  The Will Rogers site was "under consideration for a cabin community OR safe camping."  On May 26, 2021 the City Council voted 13-1 and one abstaining to proceed with the feasibility study.  The Pacific Palisades Community Council led opposition to Bonin's proposal.  Additionally Bonin, who is up for re-election in 2022, was served with a recall notice on June 15.  On Aug. 10 the City Administrative Office recommended the City should not pursue most of the options Bonin had advanced.  (more)
