13. No it's not. This is a flea market/swap meet. They can set up at another lot.

A common place for them to set up in Southern California is at parking lots of local community colleges, since there are no students parking there on weekends. They can set up their tables at Golden West College or Cypress College, both relatively nearby. South L.A. also has a lot of underutilized industrial lots. They can keep their jobs, they just need to move where they can set up their tables.

What constitutes low income/affordable housing is set by CA state law. SunSeeker Sep 2023 #21

We need more affordable housing in LA, the swap meet vendors can move. SunSeeker Sep 2023 #4

I think that's pretty presumptive. ellisonz Sep 2023 #14

Anyone can ask to have a table at the Goldenwest or Cypress colleges swap meets. SunSeeker Sep 2023 #17

So basically these poor immigrant vendors shouldn't complain about getting eviction notices? ellisonz Sep 2023 #18

Correct. Like I said, it's a lot easier to find a swap meet table space than housing in L.A. SunSeeker Sep 2023 #19

Perfecto! ellisonz Sep 2023 #20
