Wanted signs for The Venice Karen have been posted all around Venice Beach this week.
"Who builds a multi-million dollar house right by behind Hinanos (Est. 1962) and then calls the police 30 times in one day to complain about the noise?
Last seen manically calling 911 freom a brand-new mansion”
So who is this "Venice Karen" and what is this all about?
The person in the poster is David Feige, a former New York lawyer turned producer, writer and documentarist. 60 year old Feige, who moved to Venice 20 years ago, has recently been elected President Of Venice Neighborhood Council, after Brian Averill resigned due to conflicts with members of the council. Averill, who is also from New York, approached Feige to seek the presidency.
As the poster mentions, Feige has reported Hinanos to authorities several times for various reasons
Feige's issues with Hinanos has been going on for several years now. And not it's not just Hinanos, he has also reported Cabo Cantina, The Whaler, and Mercedes for being too loud, having outdoor speakers, staying open past the allowed time, and other ordinance businesses he says these places are not following.
"For nearly 18 months, there has not been a single week that Hinano has complied with the rules. Even after midnight their outdoor space is packed. They allow people to congregate so densely that they block the sidewalk, and they regularly tolerate outdoor drinking and loitering as well as the use of portable speakers played in and adjacent to their outdoor space. It is, in a word, mayhem. With multiple fights, regular screaming, constant urination, and unceasing noise." He mention in a request to the Venice Neighborhood Council (prior to him being elected president).
They should be like "New York whose Al Fresco experiments also rely on keeping ambient noise to a minimum, the Ordinance aims to preserve the business’s revenue stream while balancing the disturbances to those of us who live nearby."
Recently, on a Saturday, in the middle of the day, during the monthly Artwalk on Washington, Feige was seen telling police officers that The Whaler, Nala Vida, and some Art walk vendors are being too loud. The officers went and spoke to Nala Vida, but didn't bother the vendors or The Whaler that time.
As for who put up these posters, it is unknown at this time. The staff at Hinanos say they do not know anyuthing about it.
