Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city.
The details of the proposal were revealed Monday during the demonstration’s nightly general assembly meeting by Jim Lafferty, an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild who has been advocating on behalf of the protest since it began seven weeks ago.
Lafferty said city officials have offered protesters a $1-a-year lease on a 10,000-square-foot office space near City Hall. He said officials also promised land elsewhere for protesters who wish to farm, as well as additional housing for the contingent of homeless people who joined the camp.

Only the IDIOTS in LA would reward these TERRORISTS! These commies should be arrested, not given in to.
These city officials are guilty of TREASON for bowing to commies!
Though likely less passionate than Mr. Britt, I agree this is rediculous. I support these jack asses in thier right to protest, even though they would be better served to vote with their dollar by not buying things that support the corporations that they stand against. Giving them office space, housing, and farm land is disgusting, and if they take it, they’re a bunch of hipocrites too!
