Lawsuit Watch: LACC Swap Meet vs. City of Los Angeles

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.




The Injustice: A Tale of Two Standards

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 to prevent this kind of economic cannibalization.
