April 1st Page: Renters to be added to “No Overnight
Camping” prohibition
April 1 - The Venice Vigilance Committee (VVC) is
demanding that the new prohibition on overnight camping be extended to renters.
“Just because someone is camping inside an apartment doesn’t mean
they are a home owner,” says Wolfgang Ziegler, a leader of the
VVC.
The Venice Vigilance Committee is committed
to “cleaning up” Venice, just as past organizations including the
Rose Avenue Working Group, the Venice (Re) Action Committee and the Venice Civic
Union tried to do. VVC believes they will have better luck this time by simply
banning “undesirables” from
Venice.
“First, we started with
the RV campers, then we came for the homeless, now we are going after the
renters, then the immigrants and the non-whites, when we are finished,
we’ll take care of the homeowners who don’t have the proper
attitude,” said Ziegler, who also wants to ban wrong-thinking and the
Beachhead.
“We all love Venice
because it is sooo unique,” he added.
