𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: City officials are pressured after a constant series of gang violence, homelessness, fires, and dumping of dead bodies near Imperial/120th and Broadway near the in SCLA 🌴👀

“LOS ANGELES - Members of a South Los Angeles community say they’re fed up with the constant trash fires and crime in what they call their “lawless” neighborhood. Residents say jurisdictional ambiguity has led to confusion about how to respond in the area.

By the numbers:
A recent report from the Los Angeles Fire Department says the local homeless population has been involved in at least 500 trash fires in the area since January 1, 2025. The number doubles when accounting for nearby areas serviced by the county — that averages to more than seven a day.

The Watts station tells FOX 11 that “easily” 95% of the fires they respond to are homeless-related.

Underneath the interchange of the 105 and 110 freeways, there have been more than 1,000 there since January.

What we know:
The area is at the intersection of multiple jurisdictional boundaries, with property belonging to Union Pacific Railroad, Caltrans, the state of California and the city of Los Angeles all within steps of each other.

And it isn’t just the fires the community is worried about. Locals say they’re constantly facing crime, with masked men flaunting AK-47s, illegal dumping and more.” · (credit: )
