LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 19: Nurse Enedina Rosas takes a blood sample for a glucose test at the Healthcare for the 99% Health Fair, organized by the United Healthcare Workers union (SEIU-UHW), in the Occupy Los Angeles encampment at City Hall on November 19, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Though Occupy camps have been broken up by police in most big cities across the nation, the Occupy L.A. camp has persevered with the blessings of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and city officials who say that they have not had any serious problems by the campers so far. Concern is rising though among the Occupiers since the office of the Mayor announced that they will not be able to camp on city property indefinitely.

1. BEAUTIFUL!!!

mayor's blessings, I don't think so. that is a typo.
the City Council offically supports OccupyLA.
The Mayor wants his green grass back. (which is not appropriate for this desert climate anyway.)

5. It appears they are hoping it fizzles out but that doesn't seem to be happening...

so eventually they'll probably follow other cities and evict people.
