LA implements state law to help clear city streets of 'abandoned' RVs

Topline:
The L.A City Council voted 12-3 today to implement a state law that will make it easier to clear some RVs from city streets.
The backstory: Last month, the council's Transportation Committee voted to bring a proposal forward to implement a policy change that allows the city to impound and immediately destroy abandoned or inoperable RVs worth less than $4,000. The change is inspired by new state law AB 630, which was created to prevent previously impounded RVs from ending back up on the street.
The motion, authored by Councilmember Traci Park, reports that abandoned RVs pose as public and safety hazards.
