Venice Renters In Dickensian Dilemma

It could almost be a story from a Charles Dickens novel: Nearly 800 lower-income households find themselves evicted from an apartment complex in the Venice district of Los Angeles by developers who reportedly want to build luxury housing. The City Council opposes the deal but is defeated in court. After various attempts at mediation, the developers beckon sheriff’s deputies to lock out hundreds of renters from their apartments, only to call off the authorities at the last minute.
