In Los Angeles, as the homeless population grows out of control, the city is focusing on the “important” issue of targeting business owners who dare display an American flag. That’s what happened to Arik Air, who owns a motorcycle store and displays an American flag.
A Los Angeles business owner says city code enforcement officials have relentlessly targeted him for setting a sidewalk sign too close to city property while ignoring the growing homeless encampments.
Arik Air, owner of Motostyles, a motorcycle accessory and remote control hobbies store in the Granada Hills area, claims code enforcement officials visited the business multiple times in June and his complaints to city officials including the mayor have been met with silence.
“I’m kind of pissed off because it’s an ongoing battle with them for kind of forever,” Air told Ainsley Earhardt on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday. “They keep changing the inspectors and actually to justify their work, they come and give you a ticket for something.”
