Follow on Google News | ![]() City of Los Angeles Served With Federal Class Action Lawsuit Over HomelessnessBy: American Freedom Law Center The thrust of the claims on behalf of AFLC's client, Adom Ratner-Stauber, a substantial property owner-manager, is that the City and police department have failed to control homelessness and that the homeless encampments occupying his property and surrounding properties have caused, and continue to cause, significant property damage and financial loss. Examples of the City's failure to police homelessness as set forth in the complaint include the following:
David Yerushalmi, Senior Counsel and Co-Founder of AFLC noted: "This class action lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Police Department will be a first of its kind and a model for future litigation to force progressive cities in California, Washington state, and Oregon to actually provide for the health, safety, and property rights of their respective law-abiding property owners. For years, progressive city administrations have simply thrown their law-abiding residents to the wolves." AFLC Senior Counsel and Co-Founder Robert Muise explained: "This is not a lawsuit against the unfortunates who find themselves homeless. Nor is it a lawsuit to force the City of Los Angeles to solve all of the homelessness and crime problems that its policies have wrecked upon its residents. Rather, it is a lawsuit to proclaim that the City has a duty to provide property owners with the right to access and enjoy their property without threat of criminal violence and the risks attendant to policing their own property – duties that are properly the responsibility of government." ________ The American Freedom Law Center is a Judeo-Christian law firm that fights for faith and freedom.
