LACC Swap Meet Sues LA for $30M Over Street Vending ‘Chaos’

The LACC Swap Meet—a community pillar that has supported student scholarships for decades—has been forced to file a $30 million lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles to save its lawful vendors from ruin. The suit exposes a catastrophic failure of leadership, alleging that the City, led by the “personal vendetta” of Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, has deliberately abandoned rule-abiding businesses in favor of unregulated chaos.

View Full Article Here

🚫 The Injustice: A Tale of Two Standards

While the Swap Meet pays rent, taxes, and strictly adheres to health codes, the City has allowed hundreds of unregulated vendors to flood the immediate perimeter.

  • Unfair Playing Field: The City has turned a blind eye to the illegal occupation of sidewalks, allowing outside vendors to operate rent-free and undercut the legitimate, fee-paying merchants inside the market.

  • Violation of State Law: The suit contends the City is explicitly ignoring SB 946, which mandates a 500-foot no-vending buffer zone around swap meets—a legal protection designed precisely to prevent this kind of economic cannibalization.

📉 The Cost of Inaction

The City’s refusal to enforce the law has had devastating consequences:

  • Revenue decimated by 85%, bringing the market to the brink of closure.

  • Critical scholarship funds for LACC students are now in jeopardy.

  • Public Safety Ignored: Requests for basic safety measures, like red zones for fire lanes, were reportedly blocked by Council District 13, prioritizing political ideology over public safety.

What happens when political leaders like our own City Councilmember ignore their own city’s laws?

At the LACC Swap Meet in Council District 13, the answer is: working people lose, students lose funding, and the city gets hit with a $30 million lawsuit. And none of this needed to happen.

Legitimate swap meet vendors work hard to thrive every single day—paying their fees, following the rules, and serving our community. They deserve leadership that protects their livelihood, not a system that turns a blind eye to chaos. ⚖️

Dylan Kendall breaks down why it is time to stand up for the people trying to make a living the right way.

🗣 The Market Speaks

“We are fighting for the vendors who follow the rules. It is fundamentally unfair for the City to punish lawful small businesses by allowing unregulated competitors to blockade our entrance and destroy our livelihood.” — LACC Swap Meet Leadership

The Bottom Line:

This lawsuit is a stand against administrative negligence, demanding that the City of Los Angeles finally enforce its own laws and protect the established businesses that built this community.

5 0 0 +  V E N D O R S  •  1 7 , 0 0 0  S T U D E N T S

Nearly 30 years of jobs, culture, and opportunity at risk.

For over three years, vendors and community members have worked tirelessly to save and improve the LACC Swap Meet — a multi‑generational market that:

  • Provides opportunities for 500+ legal vendors
  • Helps fund 17,000 students through the LACC Foundation
  • Serves as a vital gathering place for the local community

The problem: illegal street vending & city inaction

Despite state law prohibiting vending within 500 feet of a permitted swap meet, illegal street vendors have taken over the streets surrounding the LACC Swap Meet (Monroe, Marathon, and Madison), creating a dangerous, unregulated marketplace that threatens the safety, fairness, and future of this historic community event.

Instead of enforcing the law, Councilmember Hugo Soto‑Martinez has blocked efforts to regulate the area, allowed illegal vending to continue unchecked, spread false accusations about the swap meet, and refused to meet publicly to address vendors’, students’, and residents’ concerns.

What this negligence looks like on the ground

  • Crime and vandalism are rising in the surrounding area.
  • LACC Swap Meet vendor sales are down to over 60%.
  • LACC Foundation revenue is down 40%, threatening support for 17,000 students.
  • Illegal vendors pay no rent, insurance, taxes, or permits, leaving legal vendors struggling to compete.
  • The very future of the LACC Swap Meet is at risk — after nearly 30 years in operation.

What vendors are fighting for

Vendors are not anti–street vendor. They support everyone’s right to make a living — but it must be done legally, safely, and ethically.

They are demanding that:

  • The City of Los Angeles and LAPD enforce the 500‑foot ordinance and remove illegal vendors from Monroe, Marathon, and Madison.
  • Councilmember Hugo Soto‑Martinez stop blocking enforcement and meet publicly with vendors and community members.
  • The Department of Transportation approve temporary No Parking permits to create safe loading zones for vendors and customers.
  • The City take action to restore order, safety, and fairness to the LACC Swap Meet.

Union backing vs. community impact.

Much of Hugo Soto‑Martinez’s political strength does not come from the people most directly affected by decisions around the LACC Swap Meet, but from large unions and institutional power. These organizations fund mailers, canvassing, and messaging that present him as a champion of working families—even when the record shows serious harm to the very communities they claim to defend.

Who’s backing whom?

Powerful labor and school‑related unions have lined up behind Hugo—not neighborhood vendors, not swap‑meet workers fighting to keep their stalls open, and not the small businesses squeezed by policy decisions.

Students left behind

Despite this institutional backing, Hugo has been responsible for actions and decisions that cost an estimated 17,000 students access to financial aid —students who relied on that support to stay enrolled, pay bills, and move toward better futures.

Why this matters

When school unions and major labor organizations rally behind a politician whose record includes blocking opportunity and financial aid for thousands of students, there is a clear mismatch between the messaging (“for the kids,” “for education”) and the measurable impact on young people’s lives. This is the hypocrisy of support: institutions get their political ally, while students, vendors, and working families are left to absorb the damage.

17,000 students

“For the students” on paper, financial aid stripped in practice.

While school unions issue endorsements and political mailers, the lived reality for roughly seventeen thousand students is lost grants, interrupted studies, and doors quietly closed on their futures. Those are not abstract numbers—they are individual people whose opportunities were narrowed while powerful institutions claimed to be “standing with” them.

Weekends of chaos for neighbors living next door.

Behind every permit, press release, and talking point are real people trying to live and work in their homes. For many residents around Vermont Ave, Monroe St, and Marathon St, the current situation means chronic noise, unsafe streets, and financial harm weekend after weekend.

The email below comes from an East Hollywood resident who lives at Vermont Ave & Monroe St, describing what their family experiences because of unpermitted sidewalk vendors, amplified sound, and illegal parking that spill out around the swap meet perimeter.

Identifying details are redacted to protect the resident’s privacy. The substance of the complaint is preserved as written.

Resident testimony · East Hollywood

Addressed to local officials regarding conditions around the LACC Swap Meet.

Hello,

I am a resident in East Hollywood, and I have major concerns regarding the LACC Swap.

I live on the corner of Vermont Ave & Monroe St, and the LACC Swap Meet makes every weekend of my life miserable. The amplified music starts as early as 8 am sometimes. My baby cannot sleep and I cannot complete any work I need to do (I have a part time job working from home on weekends). The excessive illegal parking clogs up the roads and makes it very dangerous for cars and passengers to pass through. Last weekend my car was hit by an illegally parked vendor, and because the person does not have car insurance I am now in a very bad spot financially. A very similar incident occurred with my neighbor a few weeks ago when her car was hit by a street vendor.

To be clear: I do not have an issue with the LACC Swap itself, as they appear to follow the necessary guidelines for safety and respect. It is the illegal vendors on the sidewalks who use amplified sound and make the streets unsafe for cars and pedestrians.

I have reached out directly to the LACC Swap twice now. They claim to have no liability and that all this activity is due to illegal vendors that set up immediately outside the swap along Vermont Ave, Monroe St., and Marathon St.

I deserve a modicum of peace and quiet in my own home, and I am at the end of my rope. Please respond at your earliest convenience, and I look forward to hearing your solutions.

Follow‑up correspondence from same resident

Sent to Phillip Dane and Councilmember Hugo Soto‑Martinez regarding ongoing conditions.

To Phillip Dane

Mr. Dane,

Thank you for your empathy and for taking the time to provide this detailed, helpful information. I sincerely respect all you have done and continue to do for our community. It is extremely unfortunate that the good work of the LACC Swap is overshadowed by the ongoing, blatant disrespect of these outside vendors.

To Councilmember Hugo Soto‑Martinez

Mr. Soto Martinez,

It is extremely disappointing—though not surprising—that an elected official would put his own interests above those of his community. It appears you have been well aware of these concerns for some time, yet refuse to take action to make your community safer. In fact, it appears you are directly preventing any sort of compromise or solution. This is nothing short of a betrayal to your constituents.

To be clear: I have absolutely no problem with street vendors—I patronize them regularly throughout Los Angeles. Street vendors are one of the coolest and most unique things about our city. Everyone has the right to establish a livelihood for themselves and their families. I am a single mother who lives paycheck to paycheck, so I directly relate to and respect anyone who works hard to provide for their family. I am also a public school teacher of 17+ years and currently work at a campus in this community. Public service is an honor, a privilege, and a duty I take seriously.

In theory, if you claim to support street vendors, you would work with them to establish a manner for them to do business legally, safely, and sustainably. In reality, you abuse your position of power to actively violate the law in favor of a highly specific community. It appears you have allowed your own family history (which is sincerely admirable) to completely overshadow any safety concerns of those who do not share your exact background.

Official concerns related to illegal vending outside the LACC Swap

Amplified sound

Due to the illegal use of amplified power that often begins as early as 6 am, my baby and I have NEVER had a peaceful Saturday or Sunday morning. I have a second work‑from‑home job on weekends, and it is virtually impossible to concentrate due to the loud music and sermonizing that occurs (even with the windows closed, the sound is unbearable). Can you imagine if someone was outside your home every single Saturday and Sunday blasting music and proselytizing?

Traffic and parking

The illegal parking of these vendors along Monroe, Madison, and Marathon streets creates extremely precarious if not dangerous conditions. Just last weekend, I was hit while leaving my own home by an illegally parked vendor. Because this vendor did not have car insurance, I am now liable for $734 dollars to repair my vehicle. Again, as someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, this is a devastating financial burden.

Safety of community members

The weekend activity draws a crowd that compromises the safety of residents. There are dozens of people who illegally consume alcohol publicly, loiter directly in front of my building, and sexually harass young women. I was once accosted and then “flashed” by a man in my own parking lot. In addition to the sexual harassment, people regularly take advantage of the crowded sidewalk to sneak in behind residents entering the building to drink alcohol in our lobby and on our roof. More than once, I have witnessed grown men urinating on the building in broad daylight.

I hope that you can have empathy for the stressful and scary conditions this creates for me as a woman and single mother. It is so bad that I do not feel safe leaving my home between the hours of 7 am and 4 pm every single weekend. In your official LA City Council biography, you claim to support women in their fight for anti‑harassment protection. I hope you actually mean that.

To be clear: These events and conditions are a stark contrast to those of Monday through Friday, which are generally quiet and safe. There is a direct correlation between the illegal weekend vending and the lack of safety and respect.

It is imperative you immediately address and establish solutions for the concerns outlined above. This would require you to prevent the illegal amplified sound, establish a system to prevent and enforce illegal parking, and provide some form of professional security or police presence to ensure safer conditions for residents. I believe a compromise is possible.

Another line in your official LA City Council biography says you “invest in systems of care that actually prevent crime.” Again, I hope you mean that. You have a responsibility to your community to make everyone feel safe, and I expect you take that duty seriously.

I am formally requesting a response to these concerns within five business days.

How the “DSA-aligned” agenda shows up in CD13 day-to-day

Elections + representation in CD13

  • Organizing-first politics: DSA-LA doesn’t just endorse; they build volunteer canvassing operations and sustained field programs, which can change turnout dynamics in a district even when overall municipal turnout is low. (CD13 is a prime example because DSA-LA formally endorsed Soto-Martínez and mobilized around him.) [DSA Los Angeles]  [LA Times]

  • “Bloc” behavior on Council: CD13 is often discussed as part of a progressive/DSA-endorsed cluster of councilmembers (commonly grouped with Raman/Hernandez in coverage), which can shape votes and negotiations when margins are tight. [LA Times]

How people experience it in CD13: supporters feel like their side finally has a “machine” that competes with old LA power structures; critics feel like a highly organized faction can outmuscle less organized neighborhood groups.

Housing + rent stabilization (huge in CD13)

  • Rent control tightening is real policy, not vibes: LA recently voted to tighten rent increase limits for many rent-stabilized units (citywide). Renters-heavy districts like CD13 feel this directly through annual allowable increases and landlord-tenant disputes. [Politico]  [The Wall Street Journal]

  • Democracy angle (the critique vs defense):

    • Defense: stabilizing rent reduces displacement → keeps communities intact and politically engaged.

    • Critique: opponents argue it discourages new investment/housing supply → longer-term affordability and trust in government suffers. [The Wall Street Journal]  [Politico]

Homelessness policy + street-level interventions

  • CD13 highlights a services-led homelessness strategy (case management, mental health, substance use outreach), which is the practical, district-facing side of broader policy debates. [cd13.lacity.gov]
  • Citywide, LA’s homelessness response is also shaped by the Mayor’s homelessness emergency framework and related expedited processes. [City Clerk Los Angeles]
  • Recent official reporting also points to a decline in homelessness counts (city/county) — supporters cite this as evidence that the current direction is working; critics debate methodology, sustainability, and tradeoffs (encampment enforcement vs services).  [The Guardian]

How people experience it in CD13: more visible outreach + more visible conflict (encampments, cleanups, business impacts, neighborhood frustration), all landing in the council office as constituent pressure.

Budget priorities + “public safety” definitions

  • CD13 communicates budget positions and priorities publicly (what they claim they fought for / opposed / funded). [cd13.lacity.gov]

  • The DSA-adjacent frame often emphasizes non-police interventions (prevention, housing, services) alongside critiques of traditional policing. In districts like CD13, that becomes a constant political argument: “what counts as safety” and where the money goes.

How people experience it in CD13: if you’re a renter or service-provider, you may see expanded help; if you’re a business owner or resident focused on disorder/crime, you may feel government is mis-prioritizing.

“National issues” entering local governance (polarization effects)

  • DSA-LA has showcased their councilmembers (including CD13) taking public positions on national/international issues like a ceasefire resolution — supporters see moral leadership; critics see distraction and polarization in city politics. [DSA Los Angeles]

How people experience it in CD13: sharper splits at neighborhood meetings, online community groups, and more “identity + ideology” conflict that spills into local issues.

Hugo Soto-Martínez and the Push for Illegal Vending

While Hugo Soto-Martínez consistently leverages his background as the “son of street vendors”—referencing it in LAist, Capital & Main, and official biographies to build emotional credibility—this narrative stands in stark contrast to his actual policy stance. Despite invoking his parents’ hard work, he has positioned himself as the primary advocate for enabling and protecting illegal street vending actions, effectively prioritizing non-compliance under the guise of family history.

L.A. Taco coverage (2023)

The article refers to him as “a son of street vendors…” and quotes him tying his personal background to vending policy. [LA Taco]

CD13 official biography

The Council District 13 “Meet Hugo” bio states he “was born and raised … the proud son of Mexican immigrants and street vendors…” — this is a biography section affirming the family background, though not a verbatim spoken quote. [City Council District 13]

The Hugo Soto-Martinez Wikipedia entry likewise notes: “Soto-Martinez was born and raised … to two Mexican immigrant parents who worked as street vendors.” — this is a summary reference his family background. [Wikipedia]
