Exclusive video taken by The Post shows trash piling up outside the makeshift camp which is also strewn with feces and bottles full of urine, just minutes from the Universal Studios theme park, visited by up to 40,000 tourists daily.

Nearby business owners complained about the foul smells and black trash bags piling up from the growing number of campers and port-a-potties provided by local authorities of the ultra-liberal city.

One business manager, who asked to remain anonymous, said some of the RV residents have wandered into their property to get water and regularly use their private restrooms and outdoor electric plugs. 

“We are kind of in ‘no man’s land’ here,” the manager told The Post. “These people who live in their campers have a beautiful backyard with the hills and studios surrounding them in what is a fancy neighborhood, but it has gone too far. They are literally coming to our front door.

“Some of them are mentally ill and some of them are just angry, yelling. Some of them were moved away from the more touristy side in Hollywood, but it’s just unfortunate because a lot of them who live here are antagonistic.”

Another local business owner said things have gotten so bad at times, Warner Brothers Studios has sent out their own staff to clean up the street, which is nestled below the AVA apartment block where monthly rent is $1,900 for a studio. In close by Universal City, homes start at around $2.3m. Warner Brothers didn’t respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Postings say there is no parking allowed from 2-4 a.m. nightly, but those in the RV camp said cops haven’t told them to move and largely leave them alone, save from towing a few cars with outdated registration tags.

Many of the residents say they ended up moving into RVs after not being able to afford rising rents or losing their jobs, mirroring residents of a similar camp in posh Marin County, Northern California.

RV residents of Forest Lawn Drive told The Post they would rather live free on the busy street than in a government provided shelter or tiny home. Many have said the cost of living in LA has forced them into RV living.

Richard Yrineo, 45, said when he first parked his trailer on Forest Lawn Drive four years ago, there were only 10 other cars and RVs also parked on the two-mile stretch, which is also home to Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills cemetery where many celebrities are buried, including Michael Jackson, Carrie Fisher, Paul Walker, Penny Marshall and Bee Gees singer Andy Gibb.

When the pandemic shut down businesses, he started to see more and more people living in their cars and parking on the street and the number of RVs grew to more than 40.

“I worked construction and work stopped because people didn’t want you inside their homes because they were afraid to get COVID. Most people who lost their jobs had nowhere to go and ended up here,” Yrineo told The Post.

Shockingly, some are taking advantage of the situation and becoming so called “van lords” — wan landlords who purchase RVs then rent them out to the needy — according said LA City Councilmember Traci Park.

According to the 2022 Point-In-Time Count conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, about 6,500 people live in 4,000 RVs across the city— a 40% increase since 2018.

A report published on June 20 by the University of California, San Francisco showed 47% of single adults in the state who are homeless are over the age of 50. At the Forest Lawn Drive encampment, many are seniors who have banned together for survival.

Park said the whole thing is a legal gray area, and is concerned many of the RV tenants don’t have lease agreements and there is no governing body who provide any kind of oversight.
