Wild proposal in city council meeting aimed at creating build public ‘sex huts’ for LA homeless

Only in LA.

Los Angeles City Council was pitched a truly bizarre solution to the city’s homelessness crisis: free “sexual relief clinics” for homeless people — paid for by taxpayers.

Councilmember Traci Park was having none of it.

Park blasted the proposal in a video posted to Instagram, calling it the latest installment of her “Things that would only happen in LA” series.

The clip highlighted a bizarre moment during a recent City Council meeting when an unidentified public speaker suggested the city create private spaces where homeless people could have sex or masturbate away from public view.

“I would like to propose that Los Angeles consider a pilot program for free hygienic sexual relief clinics, primarily serving the homeless and unhoused,” said the unidentified speaker.

“This means equality. It means private sexual relief through masturbation or where appropriate and consensual with a partner.”

The speaker went on to say that “some research suggests that sexual release can help reduce stress” and “improve mood,” while pointing to the difficult conditions faced by homeless Angelenos.

He suggested the program be “funded by public tax dollars and managed with professional oversight,” giving homeless people the “same comforts in privacy” as everyone else.

Park’s reaction — shown throughout the video — ranged from stunned to horrified.

Then she delivered her verdict.

“No, we’re not doing public sex huts.”

The video ended with a clarification: “L.A. City Council is not considering public sex huts.”

Park represents a sprawling Westside district that includes Venice Beach, one of the city’s most visible battlegrounds in its homelessness crisis.

The bizarre proposal comes as the council has taken heat over its approach to homelessness and public spaces.

The council recently voted 10-3 to lift anti-camping restrictions at more than a dozen parks and public spaces across Hollywood, Silver Lake and surrounding neighborhoods, making it easier for homeless people to stay in parks across District 13.

The anti-camping rules had been in place for five years to prevent encampments from returning after being cleared by law enforcement.

Park and fellow councilmembers Imelda Padilla and Monica Rodriguez were the moderate voices who voted to keep the anti-camping restrictions in place.

“We have spent billions on homeless housing and services, and our constituents have been incredibly generous,” Park said. “They have every right to expect something in return.”

The latest count from the LA Homeless Service Authority puts the number of people homeless in the city at 45,194.
