10 Minute Warning LA Homeless' Belongings Taken During Sweeps

- This video exposes the harsh reality of homeless sweeps in Los Angeles, specifically on Skid Row. The footage shows how homeless individuals are given just ten minutes to gather their belongings before they are thrown away by LA Sanitation. Sanitation workers and LAPD mostly just stood around, and no outreach or support services were available to help people.
Homeless sweeps are a waste of money, costing Los Angeles taxpayers $70 million a year, that could be better spent on providing real solutions for homelessness, such as housing and support services. The growing number of homeless people in Los Angeles highlights the need for a more compassionate and effective approach. Pushing homeless individuals from one area to another does nothing to address the root causes of homelessness and makes it harder for outreach workers to connect them with the help they need.
If you live in Los Angeles, here is a link for the City Council contact information broken down by district. Please reach out to your legislators to demand they stop the sweeps. lacity.gov/directory
Nationally, please support Housing Not Handcuffs housingnothandcuffs.org
We all must advocate for more housing and support services and stop homeless sweeps at the local level. At the same time, we must continue to pressure state and federal legislators. Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will worsen.
Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Our groundbreaking educational content reaches millions of people every month. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.
Imagine how many affordable houses can be built with 70 million dollars to get people off the streets.
@@chillingsworth4384by cronies you mean politicians!!! Really insane how rich the politicians can get in America! How much is Nancy Pelosi worth? They are all crooked, even down to lots of council members or mayors. When will we change the TRUE inequalities in America? Wealth inequality is the real problem they keep you from thinking & talking about.
70 million a year to clean up the camps? That’s disturbing and disgusting they wouldn’t use that money to help people instead. It’s actually malevolent behaviour to treat the homeless like that.
its a complete lie
a fabricated number to increase influence in the other direction
From a purely logical perspective, all actions are intentional. The mind needs to intend it to get it done. So it is not an accident. And it is as you say. It is purely malevolent. There is no benefit in it whatsoever, be it in social or economic levels. So the question we have to ask is, why evil is allowed and desired? I understand that a deep, almost philosophical answer isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I've come to conclusion it's power. Everyone, every life, wishes only one thing: power. It is the one reward, dream, pleasure. When the good folk want to work, have a family, a barbecue, a normal life, what is wanted is power. The power to bring about positive outcomes. The crooked, by doing things like sweeps, inflating prices, and outright stealing and making the life of everyone else hell, find satisfaction in the power to do the evil. Doing good is hard. It requires having patience, opening up to greater understanding and feeling. Doing evil is easier and due to the innate kindness of the good, it is much more likely for it to be opressed, for it is not in us to attack. That's their business, not ours. But we need to learn to step up either way. If you need power to be happy, you can have it. Infinite, boundless. Good is not inferior to evil, it transcends it.
@@AlvorecerDaAlma , very well said. I would add that from a biblical perspective, the god of this physical world is the dark one. The god that created us is not the god of the physical realm. That’s probably also why malevolent behaviours are more the trend of society and it’s monetary guidance and ruling.
They do, but the media won’t report on this because it won’t make a big enough story. Trust me, I’m out there daily on skid row around 6th and San Julian handing out meals and there is always social workers offering this help that the majority of people do not want to take. They just take whatever essentials you can help them with at the moment and ignore you after they’ve gotten what they want. If you take their housing, that means that you’re going to have to be putting in job applications weekly and that is one thing these people do not wanna do they have it too good in their eyes. This is what I call America propaganda.
The people that push this agenda forward will find they have no home on the day they die, if they keep going the direction in life they are headed. Be blessed
As someone in the past that was homeless I can tell you that this is devastating
Same
At least by keeping them moving, it gives them a fresh clean area to live even if for a short period of time.
@@ayayron7776 By throwing all of their belongings away at the same time?
How does that help them “live” anywhere, are you serious?
Me too. This during great lakes winter.
@@LBG-cf8gu wow that really would have to sell to get off the bus and find out that your tent and your propane heater and your thermals excetera excetera excetera we're gone
They should take the unlimited infusions of non-local capital that artificially inflate housing prices and throw those transactions away instead ✊
@@sarbantz I have been in the homes and hotel rooms of millionaires. There’s no way they use fewer substances than some unhoused people. I’m also pretty sure they aren’t necessarily higher-functioning.
America needs Jesus like the rest of the world 🌎 🙏
Even if LA real estate was 100x lower than it currently is, do you really think that would solve the problem? I think better programs should be instated, to assist those who want to be helped...but ultimately that's what it comes down to. The sad truth is that some people simply don't care enough to try and better their situation.
Side note: cool to see you commenting. Crazy to think you're one of the first people I saw on youtube forever ago. Hope all is well with you.
@@sarbantz well what they need to do is stop enabling and givethem the supplies and places to do there drugs build more prisons arrest them until they dry out
@@allenjohnson389 No, build more house sing,to the point where hat the housing supply is so abundant that rents come down a lot,and no one is homeless,if rent is the issue. Normal countries don't have huge amounts of homeless citizens wandering about.
There is a lack of compassion and love in this evil and messed up world.
Gavin Newsom is the definition of Evil. I bet he wants to be president.
As if being without a home isn't hard enough.
You can thank Esau's Edomites for this and everything else that's wrong with the world. Unfortunately, these are the monsters that are in charge for now and own this world. Until these impostors are thrown out of Israel there will be evil in the world. But as the Bible states, God will bring back the Israelites, the rightful owners of Israel and Esau's people will be no more, finally the Tares will be pulled out of God's Wheat.
If you ever become homeless keep everything you need in one bag hopefully you have a backpack already so when they come to do a sweep you have the important items with you.
And carry that bag with you 24/7 so no one steals it.
Good luck survuving Canadian winter with one backpack...
@@AaronHendu Hahaha!
@@AaronHendu He‘s talking about the important stuff like ID etc.
How are they supposed to remember it when whacked out of their heads on fentanyl?
They should always keep their important paperwork, Id's etc in ziploc in put it in a backpack or hide it somewhere! Never ever leave those things sitting no where! U have 2 use wisdom when in that circumstance!
Haha! Wisdom? They wouldn’t be homeless if they had any wisdom.
And obviously you are just an angry tiny p angry about its tiny p.
I saw on a TikTok an administrator of homeless people in Los Angeles California make 240,000 annually!! There you go that is where all the money for resources are going! People need to research where the money goes!!!!❤she was asked what is a major complaint about her job… her response… there isn’t enough housing is all she ever hears ❤
Exactly!!
They are WORKING for their money. Homeless do nothing.
@@daisydukes8252 why r u or getting the point? Homeless do nothing?? Please, go find a hobby!!
It takes an income of $240K to live in Los Angeles. I used to make $133,000 a year as a computer systems analyst. In California $133K a year in income would buy me an RV to live in on the side streets. That is until I was forced to move again and again and again. That's the whole point LA is too expensive for the common man to live there. That's why I say over and over to move. Los Angeles is NOT the only place in the USA its just the most expensive place to live in the USA. People have this sense that they are entitled to live in Los Angeles. Street homelessness is their reality check. The answer is MOVE someplace cheaper!
@@daisydukes8252 not true as Mark showed us. There are people working two jobs and are still homeless. Sad!
I live off-grid in Oregon. I consider myself blessed. I am able to stay on BLM land and only have to walk 1 mile to a Fred Myers. because of the homeless pop, the Feds do not enforce the 14 day camping limit unless a complaint is made or if the site is a junk yard.
I lived on BLM land in northwest Arizona for 51 days. I was about a 1/2 mile from a small shopping center. And I always kept the area as pristine as when I got there. And I never felt so independent before in my life.
I lived off grid in southwest Oregon for 3 years, then moved to Northeastern Arizona on some cheap acrage. Both places I lived were 85 miles and 46 miles respectively from the nearest town with a Walmart
Hello they are trashing all over la
I was homeless in my youth but I didn’t collect a bunch of stuff, that part I don’t understand….. perhaps a part of a bigger problem like hoarding. I just kept my important stuff in the bag that I could carry yeah that’s a lot of stuff for a homeless person to collect and if they give them a warning , they’re just gonna pile it somewhere else…. maybe they should prioritize the types of stuff that they keep around I’m speaking from experience.
If you have been homeless for any extended period of time, you'll know that this life is all about bartering and trading in order to survive. Flying signs and jugging is only a small part of it. Collecting items that may translate into a few bucks with the right buyer becomes paramount.
I was working with this one Investor who let this homeless woman stay in one of the vacant units at this apartment complex. Within weeks there were 4 shopping carts in the garage up against a wall and she would bring so many homeless over to sleep. It took almost 7 months and $15,000 to remove her legally.
why trow away tents. It rains at night. Must people sleep in the rain
Mark, thank you for being a voice for those who don't. So sad, 10 minutes and how cruel. We are all 1 paycheck for being without a home. The workers are wrong for doing this to homeless people. Prayers for you all to find a home. God bless you you all.
No, not all people are 1 paycheck away. That is BS.
Not cruel at all.
@@royharper2003 Maybe, but anybody can get sick, too sick to make their living. And then what? Not everybody has a family to take care of them. It’s Horrible, cruel and negligent that the richest country in the world has no social safety net. 3:26
@@juanschweinsteiger3929 Yes, it is cruel when all your worldly possessions get taken away from you after ten minutes. It’s probably illegal too, but everybody knows they don’t have money for lawyers. They’re easy target.
Only foolish people will disagree. Until people deal themselves with injustices they usually don't care but that's when they'll beg for help and be upset there isn't any.
Do they realize how hard it is to get back important documents . In a quick second it’s all gone .
Any responsible individual would not have important documents lying around where anyone can steal it or allow it to be swept up. I personally would have my important documents in a pouch around my neck at all times; but I guess when you are living on the sidewalk it is hard to think rationally and responsibly.
@@ronniemead805 You're talking absolute nonsense. You can only put a few documents in a small pouch and wear it around your neck at all times. You certainly couldn't store all of the important documents that you needed there.
As soon as Artificial intelligence gets more advanced jobs get swollowed up this homeless problem is going to EXPLODE.
start building strong magnets now
The way authorities think out of sight out of mind ,welcome to America 🇺🇸
Let them move into your home advocates 🏡 🤔
Crickets!
This Country has gotten so PATHETIC!! ONLY GONNA GET WORSE with these unreasonable prices.
But people keep voting the same people in on the Democrat side. I'm not saying Republicans are any better, most of them are RINO's. There are a couple of democrats and a few Republicans that are ok....the rest are only their to fill their pockets and to seek power and do the bidding of their globalist puppet masters.
WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING!! WE NEED IT NOW!!!!
There’s affordable housing in the U.S., just not in Southern California. Try Tulsa, Kansas City, Houston or Cincinnati. Those places are cheap.
Inflation 🤐😑
Thank you Mark. Wish I could afford to live in my home state and help the people.
Is your home state California?
So glad youre out advocating not just exploiting like some channels do. Love ur work
👍🔊🔊 🔊🐝🔊
This is horrible Mark, truly wish I could help, I'm close to being homeless myself at the moment, I feel so bad for everyone else who is in this situation.
Thanks for everything you do sir, your a true Saint in many peoples eyes my friend 🙏 😊 ❤
A lot of that stuff was probably stolen from the local retail stores. I just had about 30 people evicted from the railroad property behind my shop and the railroad took at least 10 dump trucks of their stuff out of there. Those people were only there for w few months and they had a pile of bikes about 10 feet tall that were being scrapped. They even had an 80 lb propane tank in the ditch. No one is criminalizing homelessness, there just enforcing current laws.
Politicians: What belongings?
Honestly, I think that some of these people choose to be homeless rather than work and be a contributing member of society. It's much easier to sponge off the government, while laying around drinking and taking drugs and have people bring you food.
I've always agreed, this is absolutely horrible that they do that to them!!!
This is how much your politicians care about YOU! If you aren't already homeless, there's a very good chance you will be soon!
$9.2 BILLION DOLLARS to Egypt, but no affordable housing for us??!!!!!! We need tiny house communities NOW!!!!!!!!🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️
this admin is for global socialism not helping us
making every country equally crappy
Has anyone considered that landlords are not thinking about affordable housing, but rather highest bidder. A major works project is needed tomorrow, fire those playing dumb and oblivious.
Those who authorize this should lose every possession they have. How dare they?!? Those buttholes have millions of dollars to help the homeless. WTF are they doing with it?!? How can we bring attention to this?
People must overcome the misconceptions about homeless people,! Most politicians are out to make money off the homeless and care nothing about homeless! The homeless have nothing to say about it! Are the homeless really that dumb? If your job disappears when you àre in your fifty's ,you are really hurting because employers don't want to hire in that age group for a number of reasons !
This is insane! Cannot just show up and take their stuff. So sad!
Yep, not as if they'll do anything for the people who are homeless. It'll just be instead of maybe having a tent you now are just sleeping on the sidewalk. Won't do anything other than some (marginal) sanitation improvements, which of course won't last given the conditions the homeless will continue to live in.
It looks like a bunch of garbage.
@@truther001 I’m sure it is garbage and they dumped it on someone else’s property.
@@niksutliff The “homeless” live in the conditions they created for themselves.
Clean it up and disinfect behind it all. Then put these bums on a work farm to pay for it.
maybe share a few of your meals with them, looks like you could spare some food
Cruel for sure
This is nothing less than a terroristic attack! So brutal...
Mellow dramatic much? I'm sure they had at least a week's notice. Mark partakes in mellow drama to fit his narrative!
@@actionjackson7460 Would you feel the same if you get a week's notice that the gov is gonna rob you & take absolutely everything you got and leave you in the street on your own? Plus the fact that you can't do anything about it, so a week's notice doesn't mean anything...
@@userAA Again, you resort to mellow drama! Try making your argument, using facts and logic, not hyperbole!
This is horrible. People should be offered services and medical help, if necessary. I read a lot of Charles Dickens and in one book, a young boy (who is homeless) keeps getting told to "move on." He has no family and no education. He doesn't know where to move on "to." It's the same now in the 21st century. Where are these people supposed to go? Some have no family and no help whatsoever.
Open your own doors and let them sleep in your own bed.
Like the movie "They Live".
As a sanitation worker I don't respect my peers who are complying with the orders knowing they are making the situation worse
The city keep business owners and property owners happy who are actually making the money to pay taxes. without them, there is absolutely no money for resources😮
What if they have pets in those tents???
It's make the people who are homeless feel even more powerless (angry) by taking their belongings or what little they actually own! Just adds to their stress or ongoing personal issues!
I want to thank everyone in the comments with nothing but good things to say and for having empathy thank you guys we need you guys please keep going and continue to have a good heart 🙏❤️❤️
They don't get 10 minutes notice, they post signs to advice about the clean up, 10 minute notice is when the crew has already showed up.
They sure do.
To my understanding there ARE services/shelter for homeless people. What do you do when the homeless rejects the provided shelter because “they don’t want to be told what to do”? This is the major problem no one ever talks about.
Shelters can be dangerous. I understand why people would rather live in a tent. Shelters need to be made safer.
Shelters have curfews and require sobriety, that's why the majority don't want to go to shelters
When I was homeless, I was offered shelter on two different times ! When I took up the offers I found out that homeless shelters was far worse than being homeless?!! They were terrible places!! The government has no right to steal your tools or vehicles that you need to make a living! BUT THEY DO ANYWAY!! So how are you supposed to start over in a way without anything?? The real criminals are the police and politicians that run the government. They are well off ànd out of contact with reality,!
@@suen5006 so streets are safer than shelters?
@@joaquinmurrieta2867 yes street is safer, then some nasty, disgusting, HIV/STD, shelter where over half the Staff are homeless themselves and some will will steal from another homeless person. Duh
I used to do a event staffing in my town and we would show up early in the morning to set up barricades for the crowds. We would always hire a handful of homeless people to help us set up the barricades we paid them like 10 or 15 bucks an hour. We would pay them and then tell them come back at a time when the event ended and we'll give you another 10 or 15 bucks to help us tear down. Out of the 10 that we hired in the morning 3 might show back up in the evening to help tear down. The rest took their money went and got a rock and a bottle of wine and we didn't see them the rest of the day.
Some of you need to understand that a lot of them don't want help. They choose to live like this. They won't go to the shelters because the shelters won't let them drink and do drugs on the premises. It's easier for them to stay on the streets.
No matter how much anyone says this.. people don't listen... Skid Row in particular.. people have been there for decades..
This is very wrong... dear God please Help !!!!!!
New York City just as bad.
These oppressive decisions made by the authorities I imagine will result in further hardship of the homeless and potentially corner them into a more dangerous situation if as a result of these 'sweeps' people lose their identifying papers and other possessions that enable them to have access to services and navigate the world as safe as possible in difficult circumstances.
Why wouldn’t you keep your bank card your ID and your Social Security card card in your wallet?
@@rhondadavis4285 Is your question implying that if the homeless don't have everything they possible require, and all important documents on them at all times it's their fault that they are lost or destroyed during one of these sweeps??? What about their bedding, what about clothing, what about a tent that is shelter from the elements? It seems you fail to fathom the seriousness of the loss to these people.
@@kaizen_5091 What about paying rent and cleanup fees for their loitering? They aren’t any better than the taxpayers who pay their way. They don’t deserve a thing.
@@daisydukes8252 You opinion gives me the impression you believe homeless people choose it as a lifestyle as if they are bludging off the system. Who the hell would choose a life like that, lol. But seriously, you're entitled to your opinion however your ignorance doesn't suddenly become fact just because you believe it. What you call loitering is not ideal for anyone however unless an appropriate actual solution is created then you will continue to see your tax money being wasted on things like sweeps. So how about you get on board with actually helping instead of judging so you can rest assured that your streets will not be filled with people less fortunate than you and you can go on living in your bubble of ignorance.
@@kaizen_5091 I know my well informed opinion is correct-I have talked with the missionaries who have attempted to get the homeless off the street. They told me that the homeless like this way of life, no alarm clock to set, no time clock to punch, no boss to please, no bills to pay, no responsibilities. There are tons of do-gooder people waiting to give them everything they need to live, people like you maybe ? -who enable them. Anything they don’t get for free they do without. People like us who work all their life have stress and responsibilities and a ton on our shoulders. They have a good life, this was explained to me by the missionaries. I noticed whenever I tried to help any homeless people begging for money they would turn around and walk away. Not one would accept a job, not one would accept any help. They only want money and they won’t get it from me. They need to be removed from decent society and put somewhere to themselves. Did you ever think you were enabling their drug addicted lifestyle which will eventually kill them? You are enabling them to destroy our decent society for ourselves and our children? I was almost attacked by one with my child one day while pumping gas, we had to run. Women and children are in danger because of them, there are drug needles everywhere. You’re doing such a disservice to any community you live in by supporting this lifestyle. By removing them from decent society we let them know what is expected of them just like everybody else, they are not special. They will conform or they will leave. It will take citizens demanding their departure to have a safe and decent society once again.
If I was homeless I would find a nice cozy subway tunnel or highway underpass. Not sure what they’re expecting when they set up camp on a sidewalk.
Take away the home from the Mayor from LA. see how he reacts. He will get nuts.
This is bullying. Plain and simple. This is also why I never want to set foot in California. It's wonderful that you are there, showing everyone what those disgusting politicians are really up to.
sad thing is is that california is far from the worst when it comes to this
@@NamorleCanarky I mean...not really.
Don't do drugs kids
😊👍🏾
Ya if people stay away from drugs the risk of becoming homeless drops dramatically.
Aren’t their more resources out there for people who use drugs than for homeless people?
Not even prescription Drugs!!!!
The streets need to be vocal about Gavin Newsom
That new Black mayor said she was going to do something about homelessness. Something has to give.
Ten minutes notice is illegal. Look it up. That is inhumane. Stop the hate.
Shocking!
LA is one example of people's callousness towards others. Sad and shameful.
10 minutes notice my ass. They've known that they weren't adequately meeting their responsibilities for Adult Living for years. Some of them for decades. I came from a home with a Paranoid Schizophrenic Mother and an Often Absent Alcoholic Father. At 15 years of age I understood the responsibilities of Adult Living. High School was hell on earth but I got my diploma and left. My Mother never got better in spite of medications that she was resistant to taking and repeated lengthy hospitalizations. My father finally quit drinking in his mid 70's.
At age 18 I left home for the Military during the Vietnam War Era followed by Community College on the GI Bill and I haven't been back since. I've worked 60-80 hours a week since I was 15 years old. My life centered around the Responsibilities of Adult Living. I'm now a 70 year old Retired, Debt Free Homeowner with a Comfortable Financial Portfolio. I wouldn't want to have to do any of those first 70 years over again but life is good now. I never burdened anyone with Refusal to accept the Responsibilities of Adult Living. The first job of the Homeless is to not be a burden to others. The more we enable them the bigger the problem becomes. Happiness in life is not an entitlement it is earned. If you can't support yourself and you're a burden to others then you don't get to call the shots anymore. The people who are willing to help you are the shot caller's until you can Re-Earn your independence.
Thank you for your service. Enjoy your hard-earned retirement. Life delt you a bad hand. But you persevered. Great work!!!
When I was a kid long time ago! I remember asking the question why are people homeless and sleeping in the streets!! I was told it is because they have chosen to do that!!! It didn’t make sense to me as a kid because WHo would chose that!!! No one no one would chose to live on the street!!! I became homeless as an adult for many years and I didn’t choose it, it chose me and I don’t even know I was getting into that situation it happened and was me hanging on by my SKIN to get out of it!!!!!! ❤

This is just so freaking sad, no one should be homeless, especially the elderly, veterans and families with children
The problem with all the houses are the foundations that have been destroyed by the micro quakes of the fracking industries.The houses have no resell value and therefore have been abandoned. This is not just a California issue
Are you saying the problem is that L.A. houses have no resale value?
@@austinreid3378 Only in areas that are effected by the micro quakes. That would be in lower income areas that have been constructed on poor ground.

Most of these pwople are UNABLE to do such a thing...i dont believe you people are this dumb...you are willfully ignorant to the detriment of evwryone.
in portland Oregon when they do sweeps they send a crew called "rapid response" which is the same crew who cleans up murder scenes...really says something about what the ppl paying for that, they would rather see homeless people dead than help...
This is THE TRUTH that they are too cowardly to speak out loud.
These homeless people needed to given a shoping cart to take any important papers and their clothes to a place of refuge like the immigrants with back packs.
Be thoughtful of their situation.
You're right there. Give them some money. Hurry.
who's peoples belongings i ask....
I have had my car boat and home damaged by these people.
i have had stuff stolen left and right.
I must be rich uh...
no my boat is 50 years old.. my car is 20 years old, I live in the old folks home.
these people threaten me and my neighbors all the time.. I'M DONE!!!!
I feel no sorry for them.
Guaranteed - homelessness is going to get worse - much worse. Not just in LA, but everywhere! The point of this video is to show sweeps are a waste of taxpayer money and that they actually make homelessness worse. I am sorry you have some of your things damaged. Not asking you to feel sorry for anyone, but doing nothing - allowing sweeps to continue - will just make it all worse. We must get people the housing and support they need.
@@InvisiblePeople who is we? they are adults, they need to figure out life for themselves.

Talk to your mayor, local and state epresentatives, go make an online petition
People voted and loves the mayor Karen who did this. Blame the people for voting for the politician
No where in the world is there such cruelty to the poor as in the USA.
Glad they are cleaning up the streets
So you are glad they are making homelessness worse?
Despicable. When you have so little then that little has even more importance... x

Keep ID with you always.
Where did the 1.5 billion dollar bond we voters passed for the homeless go?
Im politicians pockets sadly
That's so cruel to all 😢😭😢😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is illegal to be homeless in Georgia. Albeit in Atlanta proper people are starting to pile up. Personally, I've been homeless three times. I learned real quick, if you cant grab your stuff and go , then you got to much stuff. I couldn't look homeless I couldn't pitch up a tent just anywhere let alone settle in to that way of life. It's different and somewhat more difficult when you have to hide and not appear homeless, ie.... having to wear your coat on a day when it's not cold enough for a coat but you can't leave your coat in the woods somewhere or it might get stolen. So, I learned to walk around where not many people were nor to many cops. I'm not homeless anymore nor will i be again, and it was me who got myself out of it. Yes faith in my God also, but me. A person has to keep moving forward and not stagnate .
Great comment and I’m happy for you. You took personal responsibility.
Tought you real quick that going to work and making a living is a lot easier than being kicked around the city. Maybe you could start a program that goes around and educates the rest of the homeless what you did so they can do the same and get off the streets too.
@@johnhmielewski1230 Don’t worry-the homeless know. Churches send outreach missions to help them if they want help. One of the missionaries told me that the homeless like the way they live. No alarm clock to set, no time clock to punch, no boss to please, no bills to pay. No responsibility. People give you everything you need or you do without until they do. They have to want help. People who work and pay to clean up behind the homeless have a lot of responsibility, a lot on their shoulders.
False.
Informative!!!!!!
A country's moral compas is measured not by how it treats the rich or muddle class, but by how it treats its poor and vulnerable. 😥
THIS is how I know America has no moral compass.
Veterans and homeless are treated as Un-American as possible.
America is nothing more than a Slave Nation....... they've even got everyone wearing a Slave Mask 😷😷😷😷😷
True
Or the politicians they vote into office over and over and over....some have been there over 38 years!
This is inhumane and incredibly cruel. Shame on the politicians who make these laws, shame on the cops enforcing these laws and shame on the workers who destroy these encampments.
That's what I said to....... Shame on them ALL for allowing THIS to happen to fellow Americans!!!!!
@@julo514 The homeless people are "citizens" too and they just want a home like every other citizen and they want their rights too!!!
They don't want to be treated like they're not human, would you???
You have a good point!
Please pray that things will change
Although there are no absolutes in life, however often times homelessness breeds mental illness. The longer someone is out on the street the greater the chance of stress, anxiety and depression which can bring about among other things mental illness. The homeless will be with us always, but we must urgently do our part to reduce the homeless numbers.
We have no “part” in homelessness-we paid our way. They could have and should have done so too.
This pisses me off! They are treating people like trash. Putting band aids on the problem, instead of solving it. Need more affordable housing, cheaper available mental health, more affordable detox centers. This is ludicrous. They even started doing it here in Phoenix. An I am fighting as hard as possible, to not be out there with them!! Posted on Facebook for you.
Finally somebody who listed some solutions. You’re so right about it. USA can afford it too.
It's pure cruelty.
This is not the way to do this. There has to be someone in government that has a better solution. I can't believe you can find people to do the job how disgusting of a human do you have to be to do this to people.
This would have never happened if we had a Republican state. All the democratic Law making has driven up housing prices.
What happens in a republican state?
Banks bought out housing companies.
I think housing prices are just basic supply and demand economics but sure you can spin anything to try and fit your political narrative.
@@sarbantz exactly there are 3 classes of homeless.
1. Drug addicts, some you can help some just wont quit until they die.
2. Ones that just dont want authority and dont care what the consequences are they would rather live outside then live by rules.
3. then the ones that just got there because of poor government. Sometimes they become the 1st because of being homeless. Sometimes they figure out how to get back in the system which is really hard. But the government has painted themselves in a corner making laws that creat high cost of living. so the 3rd catitory was avoidable and they f--ed it up.
There's no political answer to a Spiritual problem.
We need addiction recovery centers, mental hospitals and loads of counselors and managers immediately.
Convince gov to let everyone that wants use an acre of free tax free land to grow their own food and live on. Petition for ballot initiative and tell your canidates and representatives. Ban farm subsidies
As if these homeless people want to work. Lol. Occasionally someone who is willing to work becomes homeless, but they don't stay homeless. Because they are willing to work.
Not only is this cruel, it’s straight up wasteful.
Thank you for sharing this. In Boston the police threw out a homeless peoples wheelchairs and even though it was caught on video there were no consequences for them. The mayor closed a housing unit and addiction help center and sold the land that homeless had been allowed to garden to his friends who had just started a restaurant. The restaurant went under in a few years by the way. Oh, and this mayor claimed to be a reformed alcoholic and addict and he did all those things and contributed to unprecedented homeless encampments, overdoses, etc. When the city was at its worst with this, he was appointed by Biden to be the labor secretary. He just left.
What’s the solution? Give them free housing in a major city ? How do you sell that to people who work, pay taxes, mortgage and rent ?
Affordable would work
look at what they are doing in NYC to the immigrants....
EXACTLY what you are saying
@@MSL72 Affordable housing for everybody or for nobody. There's no in between. Same with medicare, it should have been for everybody or for nobody. Selective financial help leads to middle class paying more taxes, while not being entitled to any benefits.
You can't provide a basic quality of life for free to some people while at the lower middle-class has to earn that same basic quality of life through their work.
If you'd like to see the result of that type of politics, watch what is going on in France.
There is a lot of people who are too poor to live normally, while not poor enough to get any help. People with no job get a lot of help from France and that pisses everybody off. Particularly the lower middle-class (lookup "gilet jaunes").
I'm all for helping people, but that can't be done in a premium location. There are lots of smaller communities who have job opportunities and affordable housing.
Solution for me would be to reference these locations and make them available to the public. That'd be a healthy way for the state/goverment to help. That wouldn't take anything away from the lower middle-class.
@@xavytex premium location? There is basically no more middle class here almost already. Most “middle class” are homeless rn
Do they evening check it? What if there was like a baby in there a puppy or baby kitten?
All those billions they gave to Ukraine for their proxy war which totaled around 100 Billion, they could have used that money to help our people.
💯
How 😔 sad.
I hate when people touch my stuff so the people loosing their stuff must be so 😡 mad!
Sending them all lots of love and wish them a better future X
🙏🙏🙏
We are living in the devil's den. This world gets more evil everyday.
The camps by me are so violent. So many deaths so far. When the sweeps come people celebrate. I like these homeless encampment sweeps when they’re in residential areas.
EXACTLY these are lawless gypsy camps
and trash like this are trying to make you feel bad for them? LOL
Mark, never underestimate how important your work is.
