By the way, the letters all say they come from Health Services Los Angeles County . Ironic!
I help house Los Angeles County residents. I have been working with my residents that are struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I have instituted payment plans, deferred rent, highlighted resources and halted rent increases. I want to help my residents.
The recent proposal for an eviction moratorium does not take into account the financial obligations I currently face. A 12 month payback period on deferred rent is unreasonable, and inconsistent with the rest of the state. It is appropriate to request documentation be provided that demonstrates loss of income is directly related to the Covid-19 outbreak and should only apply to non-payment of rent. Direct financial assistance to those in need must be released immediately and you must advocate for broad property tax and mortgage relief. These emergency measures must be reviewed every 30 days. You must work with housing providers to ensure you do not amplify this economic catastrophe.
Any action must consider that when rent goes unpaid or financial flexibility is removed, there’s a domino effect. Without sustained and reliable rent payments, owners and operators, especially mom and pops, may be unable to pay their mortgages and other bills related to operations. When those bills face jeopardy, more workers are out of jobs and the economic catastrophe that is unfolding is exacerbated. For many operators, this is their sole source of income for medical bills and retirement.
I respectfully ask you to re-consider the 12 month repayment of deferred rent for tenants who were impacted by COVID-19. Documentation must be presented to demonstrate the financial hardship and should be tailored to non payment of rent. Please consider the dire effects this will have for housing providers, their own financial obligations and the livelihoods that depend on these properties
Housing providers have a pivotal role to play in this crisis. Please do not amplify this unfolding economic crisis.
I have been reading updates, and am seeing that you are still only using tests on people who meet the criteria that are listed. I have concerns that there are people who do not meet that criteria, who actually do have Covid-19, cannot get a test, and therefore are not being counted. To stop the spread, don’t we need to get the data on all that are infected, and not just the cases over 65? I am over 65, and have been self isolating for over a month, I am not worried about me. To recognize the full extend and impact of covid 19 we need to test anyone who has symptoms. Is this going to be addressed soon?
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but there are a few non-essential businesses still OPEN during this pandemic. South Coast Botanic Garden and the LA Arboretum are open AND accepting memberships and are now reaching out on various social media outlets for donations. Didn’t the Governor of CA and Mayor of LA close all hiking trails? Both of which have plenty of! They are not supporting or encouraging the Safer At Home ordinance and are only out for their own profit gain. I request that these establishments (which are both LA County properties) be SHUT DOWN asap!! Thank you!!
I am happy Redondo Beach has implemented Covid testing but I am a resident of Torrance and I live directly across the street, on the east side of the Galleria. We have been big supporters of the Galleria development and everything happening there, but today’s news of the Covid testing is a concern for myself, my family, my kids.
I know there is no real conclusive evidence of the airborne possibilities of Covid 19, as of yet, but we have taken all precautions to keep our family safe—washing hands, wiping everything down, gloves when grocery shopping, etc.
With this new testing site, I am concerned of the constant exposure to this virus and wondering how you will be safe guarding the location to keep any airborne microbes from traveling…especially seeing we are downwind.
Please, please for our sake, for my kids please take every precaution to safeguard our neighborhoods.
Thank you for your time
With gunfire going off around us in Harbor City, the police just keep on driving by. And you decided from somewhere safe, to fire the guy who went against your political stance on guns during a time of crisis?
I will make it my life mission to expose you and your friends for the self serving ivory tower politicians that you all are.
I will make sure people wont forget this.

I was down at the beach walking along the hard sand just this past Tuesday from approximately 4:45PM to 6:15PM and it was not at all overcrowded! People were at a minimum, 30 feet apart, a few were even in the water! It was a great day.
The closure of L.A. County Beaches is, at best, a case of “The Sky is Falling”, or at worst a bureaucrat power grab. OPEN THE BEACHES IMMEDIATELY! I mean IMMEDIATELY. You are asking for civil disobedience if not outright insurrection! People will not stand for this. This closure is absolutely insane!

Please don’t close beaches or trails. These are open air venues where people are far apart. OBVIOUSLY not a risk. Also, keeps people from going stir crazy.

Thank you for all of your work during this difficult time. I truly appreciate it.
I am writing to urge you to fight for emergency rental assistance and additional funds for homeless shelters. Although California has an eviction moratorium, landlords still expect the rent to be paid even if they cannot evict. Once the moratoriums are lifted, there will be a flood in evictions from landlords who weren’t paid because their tenants weren’t able to work. Eviction moratoriums mean little if they are not backed by rental assistance.
Additionally, please fight for more funds for our homeless shelters. They are overcrowded, understaffed, and without enough resources. Many have reported not having enough masks, gloves, and sanitizer. As we tell people to stay home, we need to make sure the homeless also have a safe place to stay. Considering how homelessness disproportionately effects the elderly and the disabled, this population is at a unique risk for COVID-19. Without additional funds, people could die that would otherwise survive. Please fight for more funds for homeless shelters!
Respectfully,
Jared
