Traci Park supported the Centennial Park cleanup, rooting on police, outreach workers and others who did the work. Erin Darling called the closure a failure, saying it was done without adequate planning on where to move unhoused people.
For the tourists, it may be the Ocean Front Walk of old: quirky shops, beachfront restaurants, sculpted bodies and assorted sketchy characters. But for residents, last summer’s effort to clear nearly 200 tents from the promenade didn’t do the job.
Park is expected to carry that financial advantage through the fall campaign, which culminates with a final day of in-person voting on Nov. 8. In the first round of the election, Darling distinguished himself as the only candidate who opposed the city ordinance that allows council members to request camping bans in certain protected zones, such as around libraries and parks. That aligned him with Bonin and against Park, who said she would not hesitate to invoke the ordinance, known as 41.18.within 500 feet of schools and day-care centers.
A plan to build 140 units of homeless housing on two city-owned parking lots along the Venice Boulevard median also divides the candidates. Park says the project is in a potentially dangerous tsunami zone and out of character for the neighborhood adjacent the Venice canals. Darling said the city, and his opponent, need to stop finding excuses to block new construction that would help alleviate the crisis.
Darling scoffs at the suggestion he is anti-police, saying Park’s campaign is smearing him when he has merely supported a broader thinking about how to make the public safe. Darling noted that the organization he supported was mainstream enough that a ballot measure it backed in 2020 to redistribute the county’s public spending was approved by 57% of voters.
Darling is facing additional flak. Records show that when he served for 2½ years on the Venice Neighborhood Council, a civic advisory panel, he attended only about half the meetings. He had similarly spotty attendance when he served as an appointee of Supervisor Sheila Kuehl on the county commission that oversees beaches and harbors.
