LA’s largest tiny-home village opened this week in a North Hollywood park. I got a tour and talked to architects and service providers.

I also talked to people who have been living in the park and worried they would be kicked out when the facility opened https://www.curbed.com/2021/04/tiny-home-village-homeless-los-angeles.html

Just six days before the village opened, LAPD, Rec & Parks, Sanitation, & Caltrans showed up to sweep the park. Many folks living there, some who were on the list for the tiny homes, took off to avoid conflict.

Read @onthatbombshell's story about that day https://homeforwho.substack.com/p/the-sweep-before-the-tiny-homes-opened

The sweep was two days before a series of events and tours, including a ribbon cutting with the mayor (and Tim Allen for some reason).

@reporterliz covered the ribbon cutting and pressed city officials about what would happen to folks living in the park https://www.dailynews.com/2021/04/22/north-hollywood-tiny-homes-community-nears-opening-activists-protest-at-ceremony/
