Garcia v. City of Los Angeles (20-55522)
CSAC has filed an amicus brief in a case addressing an ordinance that provides for the removal and destruction of bulky items left in public spaces. The brief argues that even if it is unconstitutional for the City to destroy such property, the removal and storage provisions of the ordinance should remain in place. The brief further argues that local government need flexibility to address the impacts of the homelessness crises, including the ability to remove bulky property from public spaces for health and safety. The brief was prepared by Theane Evangelis at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP in Los Angeles.
