Venice is a cool neighborhood to check out when out on a walk and seeing the views. However, there are serious problems that are occurring such as the expansion of homelessness. As a community, we could be doing more and better actions for our homeless neighbors yet hardly much is being done especially during the Covid-19 Pandemic. In addition, rent prices are going up somewhat and home prices are skyrocketing due to the gentrification on-going in Venice. What the hell!? As a Venetian, that doesn't go so well as we don't like that type. We prefer to have our own identity. There are more problems that I haven't covered due to character limit but Venice isn't truly one seems it is.
Venice is the hub of free spirited and eccentric people. Take a walk down Abbot Kinney and you will see on every building beautiful works of art showing the full display of Venice personality. Although popular franchises are now present, local shops along with a strong knit community still form the bedrock of its identity. However the same bonds are slowly eroding as Venice becomes divided over the issues of homelessness, gentrification, and rising home prices that have plagued the area for years and only becoming worse. The beaches are beautiful, plenty of activities year round but the surfer town struggles to come to consensus on desperately needed action forward.
The best thing about Venice is it’s weirdness. I love how despite being a part of Los Angeles, it feels like you’re in another reality. You can never become fully familiar with it and there’s always so much to explore. Even just depending on what time you explore alters the whole experience. Walking down to the Boardwalk during the day is lively and exciting and invites you to try new things. But at night, just sitting in an empty skate park can be peaceful with the right group of friends. I never cease to be surprised by what it offers.
