*“Chits” (Public addressing City Council)*

■ “There was no enforcement. So I had to be out there at 2 in the morning looking like the crazy lady in a robe with the video camera.” Resident Ruth Ann Shanley, who said she had to go to great lengths to get City Hall to understand there is a problem with auto dealers unloading cars on residential streets late at night, a violation. Shanley said it was only a few dealers and loves her neighbors, Volkswagen of Santa Monica. ■ Joy Fulmer Incite: “I think one thing you’re not trying is giving people housing for like five days at a time, or 10 days here and there. Some homeless here went down to Inglewood and got 10 days, little Inglewood, poor Inglewood. I don’t know how they managed it, but they did it.”
