2-Story Homeless Shed In MDR Finally Gets Tore Down

That huge 2-story homeless shed in Marina Del Rey has finally been tore down.



It was built by this guy from the Camino Island area north of Seattle, who came to Los Angeles to be a musician, after he failed to make it as one in Nashville. His name is Sean Tyrrell.



Sean was not homeless when he first arrived in Venice, he was staying at the Pod Share, but apparently he got into some arguements because of his music and got kicked out.



“From there I slept in my car three or four nights just around the area looking for places I could pitch a tent. I finally settled on this place." Sean told an interviewer. "Back then, there were other people living here on the sidewalk but not jammed like in other parts of the city. The people that were here got paid to leave. I was offered $100 but I’d already made good progress with my building. I’m legally here and I've obviously spent a lot of time investing in the structure. The offer was an insult.”

So for almost a year, Sean has been building up his shed and battling his residents of the area. He claims they send people to harm him and damage his property. “There’s a few people in the neighborhood who were paying people to attack me for no reason."



L.A.F.D. claimed his "artist studio" to be a definite fire hazard. And after months and months of complaints to the city, it was finally tore down.

Did this dude really think his make shift hut would last forever? 10 months and 1 ton of lumber! “I heard you could camp for free in LA so I came from seattle” #goHOME 73% of homeless in LA are from out of state. Is it time for #Calexit how else can you stop this? @fema now pic.twitter.com/XK18VEoRhD
