Since the LA Family Housing moved people into North Hollywood, residents say crime and violence has increased in the area.
"There's always someone fighting, screaming and yelling. There's been a few people shot as well, a few people who's been stabbed. It's just insane. It's crazy," said Monica Gonzalez, a North Hollywood homeowner."We've had people passed out," said the resident who asked to remain anonymous. "People sitting there that look like they're no in their two cents.
Arturo Rangel lives at the homeless shelter across from Monica's home. He agrees that the residents in the neighborhood have to put up with a lot of things."So you don't blame them for being upset?" asked FOX 11's Gina Silva.Arturo is also tired of the violence haunting North Hollywood. He has the scars to prove it.
"Right here and right here in the shoulder," Arturo said, in reference to a man attacking allegedly him with a machete. "The security, they suck," he said. "People are bringing in weapons and knives." Marvin Lopez, who stays at the homeless shelter, moved into North Hollywood after he was attacked by a hatched by another man at a homeless encampment in Lake Elsinore.Homeowners in the area say they don't understand why the city of Los Angeles would endanger a working-class community.
"We just want some peace and quiet," Monica said. "This neighborhood, I don't understand why this facility [was] built in a family, neighborhood and community. It should not be here.""The Mayor's office continues to work with our partners to urgently confront the homelessness crisis impacting communities across Los Angeles."
