Mystery Boulders Used to Deter Homeless People

- Heavy boulders are blocking the entrance to a Los Angeles park. No one has admitted to placing them there, but residents seem to know why. Homeless people once created encampments here, but a 2021 municipal code made it illegal to “sit, lie or sleep in or upon any street, sidewalk or other public way.” KCBS reports neighbors complained about the unhoused campers and that a private citizen likely put these boulders out as a deterrent.
Homeless people camping in random neighbourhoods is a major failure by the state governer. It's a basic fail. Everyone loses.
It's a failure by the people, not the governor. The people can prevent homelessness helping these people get mental health treatment and getting them jobs. When you look down on them they feel helpless and hopeless. I know this because I was homeless.

@@joshuauriarte452 bro i 100% feel you on this one but in reality, its not others peoples problems. Trust me, its really easy to go homeless and millions if people work every day because the fear of going homeless. They cant help you with hand outs if theyre trying to prevent the same thing. You have to help youre self out. Lay of the drugs or get mental help and then seek for income. Nothing is free in life except death
It's a failure by human beings.
@@joshuauriarte452 only some, some like being homeless. And there lay your problem, it's a lot of work and risk to figure out who will be worth putting work and money into. I have a friend who has not worked for over 8 years. Wants all fancy jobs. His attitude is getting more and more entitled, not less. Of course he can do that here...we get more benefits in Australia.
local authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the homeless have been transformed into these boulders themselves

Good One 👍

Goddamn it Josuke
I was homeless in Cleveland as a teenager. I was blessed with that community. We had lots of older ladies who helped teach us how to mend clothes, stretch basic ingredients and tend a garden, men who could teach us a little wood working and making structural repairs. Unfortunately, most of them were stuck in the drug rut or had such extensive criminal backgrounds that nobody would hire them. They helped a lot of us be able to get jobs, though.
Kindness matters ❤️
Praise God for kind ❤️ s
Sounds lovely
Glad to hear you're doing better. Thankfully, you weren't homeless within reach of an Asian person.
@@bnwo,
What does your comment even mean? Besides being racist, it's hateful. America has enough hate - don't add to it.
If homelessness is this much of a problem, the state is at fault. Cost of living cannot outpace wages by such a drastic margin
Mental health is also a big issue
Dude they aren’t working jobs…they aren’t capable of working jobs… if I was homeless I’d find a one way ticket to California and that’s what ppl do everyday it won’t stop
It’s kind of messed up but then again people leaving needles behind for kids to find also sucks.
It's a huge problem. On one hand you feel bad for these people who have nowhere to go, but these camps turn into health hazards and eyesores.
Not to mention feces and urine that you have to smell
@@kimberlysevastyanenko3798 they weren't honeless for a reason. They're probably drug addicts
@@memeneuver8821 thats a dumb and harmful assumption
I discovered a small metal object in my tootsie roll while I was eating it. I got it from Halloween back when I was a kid trick or treating. Some disgusting human being put that in the candy probably hoping it would damage a child’s tooth or something.
Here in the UK, they’ve put spikes outside shop entrances to prevent homeless people from sleeping/setting up near them. It’s dehumanising. Of course, people shouldn’t be on the streets and that’s another debate we have.
It's different. In UK there's plenty of housing .
Well when things become too expensive and too difficult for the average person to afford, there isn't any other choice.
@@gamerk1625 there's plenty of housing in the US too, just too expensive for people to afford. I seriously doubt people prefer living outside if they had other options.
Yep everywhere ugh
These mishumane traffickers Georgia tann spin-offs remnants ticketholders remixes and ticklers must speedy trail or shortcuts exit, erase & brashness
As a ex homeless person here I can tell you it happens more than you think but the streets prevents the homeless breaking into places to get some kind of sleep. I was homeless for just over a year. You have nooooo idea how hard it was when it got below 10°F.
It's a lose/lose situation. Here in los angeles homeless people horde huge piles of junk that they use to set up their camps and then sometimes just leave everything EVERYWHERE and it makes the area look very terrible. On the flip side, it's sad that they have no other place to go and a majority of them have some form of a mental illness.
If they had no choice, they'd find solutions. But why work when they can live as parasites? The % of people that need and deserve this help is stomped beneath the tread of the hundreds of thousands who come to America in droves and the useless and lazy who overwhelm the system meant for those truly in need.
I hate how they way of solving homelessness is to make laws against them.
I completely agree….
Politicians think they can legislate away poverty but not actually provide services and funding to actually help people.
@Michael Van Horne whose going to hire a smelly homeless person with no good clothes and hygiene?

@@lordot8665 and no address which is quite important
You would think California could take some action to help their homeless population instead of just making it illegal and to make it where they need to go out and hide from the public. Instead they should actually help them.
CA (especially LA) gives the most help to homeless people than anywhere else in the country. That's why they have so many homeless people.
@@ericlaw171 Yup. A good portion of homeless in LA aren't even from California
That’s what got those goofballs in that predicament now they’re coming in hoards to Texas & Florida causing the same problems
its ironic
@@ericlaw171 we may give them support. But that is not sufficient enough, we need mental institutions. A lot of homeless drug addicts need to be forced to rehab
I was homeless for a little bit and I know getting into a shelter was hell to get into since it was first come first serve. There were times I had to sleep outside and it was scary not knowing if I was gonna be safe. My heart goes out to the homeless people and pray that they will get out of the situation they're in.
As someone who's been homeless for many years (I now have a home, going to school and I've been clean and sober for 4 years.. all thanks to one human who believed in me!) This breaks my heart. Its horrible to just wanting to be normal, CLEAN and looking decent, but without a home, food, warmth and clothing, its impossible.
And Drugs and alcohol is unfortunately the only way for many to survive the mental and physical aspects of being worth nothing in the eyes of people.
It's hard to not get bitter, I've always been respectful and positive, but I just cant fully blame people for giving up, when not ONE human in the whole world believe in you.
It's Los Angeles. Don't feel too bad for them. The weather is always warm enough to where all you need is a sleeping bag. They also have no problem staying fed, I've literally never seen a single homeless person look like they're starving.
@@rewardilicious Have you ever been homeless?
I did not know the homeless problem was that bad in LA until we went there on vacation last year. I was amazed how it really has taken over the city.
Over 150,000 in LA County last I heard... Then you add in the San Francisco Bay area, and I think it's upwards of a million in the state.... I think the last census has more accurate numbers... But it's looked at as a lifestyle, not a mental and drug problem, and they receive a ton of money in benefits, as well as places where they can go to do drugs, get drugs, "in a safe environment" not my words... It's a whole lot of failed policies by those in government local and state as well as voters.

If you've ever walked through San Francisco and smelled the overwhelming smell of human urine or stepped in a pile of human excriment (this one happened to me in 2019) or been at the bad end of an angry, high homeless person or seen the drug needles all over the streets then you'll realize that it's not just about being burdened by STRANGERS SLEEPING IN YOUR YARD, it's the many other problems they bring with them. And though we all feel sorry for anyone going through life that way, we simply cannot accept that we have to pay to live somewhere and still we have to deal with with that on our doorstep
It's a tough conversation. Many people don't want to accept that many in this life won't get out of it no matter how many resources you throw their way. There needs to be a plan for these types of people in society though, as they will always exist.
As far as what that plan looks like, who knows. Knowing our society I wouldn't imagine it'd be that different from the prison system here though :/
@@90210bryan I couldn't agree more
I watched a video about a women who lived in the Bay Area too… a homeless man poured a bucket of human excrements over her head… she was crying while telling her story and now has to go to the doctors to get shots and checkups to make sure she didn’t catch any diseases
That may be true but surely a neighborhood could put their brains together and come up with a better solution then going after poor people.
@@amberpasta9379 I heard about that and saw the interview
I hope that if anyone finds themselves in the position where they need to sleep outside, in the different elements, rain, snow, that the people around them find it in their hearts to show some compassion
I have compassion, but it goes away when they're homeless due to drug addiction or other poor life choices.
@@828enigma6 you think people like being addicted? Is that how you think drugs work?

I will never understand why america treats homelessness the way it does, here in australia we never have people sleeping on the streets, because we provide free healthcare (to everyone) and food and shelter to those that can’t afford it, we have a system that values human life.
Growing up and watching american movies, i always thought it was so strange how common it was to see people sleeping in tents on streets, because we don’t have that here. It makes me sad that they can’t just see homeless people as humans and provide them free support like we do.
Treating them like criminals isn’t going to solve anything, they need help, not to be more dehumanised, its not like they wan’t to be homeless, to sleep on the streets and struggle to feed themselves.
America 🇺🇸 only cares about rich people and money that’s all they care about
It's here in Australia too. Go to the parks at night and you will see it. You will also see newly installed gates and boulders at national Park areas.
"its not like they wan’t to be homeless, to sleep on the streets and struggle to feed themselves." Oh you smug, sweet summer child....
Yeah but you continue to support America, using our apps, watching American movies, using a smartphone, following American celebrities on social media etc, this country is built on greed and moral filth end of story.

Something similar happened to my town. There’s this long bench along the edge of this building. Homeless people would sleep there but one day there were these ugly metal arm rests all the way down the bench, stopping people from sleeping there. I thought this wasn’t ok, but the homeless people were like, “hey thanks for making bedposts for my mattress.”

@@bobbiekincaid1843 z.2.
Great idea! Wished more cities would take this approach.
Too much time on TV & lies🤣
I visited LA a few years ago and seen the tents and trailers there. I felt bad for them. To me I just simply look at like this: I have no idea what happened in their life for this to happen. I live in Massachusetts and sometimes do volunteer work at a shelter to give back to my community. In Boston you see a lot of this and they prefer that over a shelter.
Because shelters won't house them and let them do drugs/alcohol. Or fighting.
Black Samurai 7, I understand your statement. Additionally, the homeless population exceeds all homeless shelter building capacities in the U.S.A. currently.
I've lived in CA my whole life, so it's amazing how many people in the comment section think CA doesn't do anything to help the homeless. CA (and especially LA) does more for the homeless than anywhere else in the country. THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE SO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE.
They do so much to help the homeless and that's the reason there's so many homeless? Double check your math and come back to us.
@@CastellonZamora if you were homeless would you not want to live somewhere with nice weather and lots of social programs? If u lived in a state with super tough laws against being homeless wouldn’t you want to leave to some place with more lenient laws
@@CastellonZamora That's why CA is the way it is right now. Ppl like that see more homelessnesses and more poverty as a good thing because in their eyes "it's because we help them more", and not "we should do more to prevent them from getting in that position"

As a Security ive seen people be nice to homeless and let them stay and by morning there was a mess and the homeless have no intention of picking up after themselfs.
I mean if trash was my biggest concern in life I would take it over being homeless.
That's like every time.
True some drifters will see kindness as weakness. One time I let someone stay at my home and they stole my things. Never again would I give up my own sense of peace and security for strangers.
@@danielgouge4639 haha good you deserve it, darwinism will definitely take you out.
@@thezedunderurbed1049 well at least he knows better not to do it again
i feel like we need to make housing centers for homeless people that’ll help with their problems, like drug addiction, depression, trauma, and prepare them for the world again. that way they can get jobs, move on with their lives and become model citizens! we can also leave the door open for the women and men who lived in abusive households and have nowhere to go. just a place where people come and go, and get back on their feet. it’s impossible to abuse it too! since they only have what is provided for them.
The problem here isn't the residents. They just want a safe community. Flip side is, the problem isn't the homeless either. It's the miserable failure of state officials to do anything meaningful to end the homeless problem. And no, making homelessness into a crime is not something meaningful.
Its not state fault that people choose to be drug addicts
They don't seem like much of an obstacle.
The space in between the boulders actually look comfy and safer to me lol
It’s to prevent tenta
Just use the boulders as tables
Ngl they will be much safer cause if a car comes it will bit the Rock basically a barrier
Look like a comfy bed just put a sheet over it 😂
If I were homeless I'd get a tent and alll the needed gear to live in the woods away from society
how would you get your needed supplies when you cant afford to buy in bulk or drive
how would they get money
its sad that society forgets behind the social ladder is a human being! Why is it illegal to sleep on public property when they have no other place to go.
@@gabriellaF95 theres plenty of homeless people that have phones and use wifi at local places. Go on Facebook groups and ask if anyone could donate any camping gear. All you need is a tent to start with and slowly get more gear
My dad did that for years, but age and health problems eventually catch up with you. He'd die if he was homeless now.
Imagine being so heartless that you rather live with rocks, thorns, and spikes than people who had a harder life than you?
I was homeless at 22 , I would sleep outside and clock in to my job at Popeyes . This is pure evil , I wasn’t on drugs never have been just on really hard times … everybody who is homeless isn’t a bad person .
They're a bad person if they don't have the common courtesy to make sure they're not setting up big ass tents on the sidewalk or in someone's front yard.

People need to be responsible for themselves and work to be self-sufficient. Those residents did nothing to cause them to be homeless. They need to help themselves.
No most of it was the great administration we have
Sounds like something a blind man would say.
All I know is, just before they removed large bushes from the closest freeway off ramp, my van was broken into in my condo parking lot next to the freeway. A neighbor told me he frequently saw homeless people jumping the freeway wall to access the parking lot. No tears shed here.
build dem a shed so dey tear
Same here, the IKEA in Portland is right next to the freeway and some homeless person broke into my car while I was shopping in the middle of the day. There’s so much sympathy that can be given but now it’s out of hand. There’s homeless camps everywhere off the freeway near Portland and then they try to get you to run them over so they can get paid off by insurance. Happened a couple of times to my friends. I’m working on moving out of Oregon now. Fed up with it.
I get what you’re saying but they’re homeless, dude. A lot of them have mental issues or addictions. If there were social programs to actually help them get the care that they need then this wouldn’t be so common
@@hillaryh.2028 "the most powerful country and one of the richest country with the most serious homeless people problem" 🤷🏻♂️
@@hillaryh.2028 so because someone broke into your car, we should dehumanize them? Again social programs help these problems, but yet again someone thinks pointing fingers is the better way about it. My car has been broken into, stolen, all kinds of things. Do I blame them? No. I think to myself instead of blaming this person, maybe, just maybe I have more than they do, so I should be proud of myself, and sympathize for them. If everyone had this eye for an eye attitude, the whole world would go blind. With that said, hope you don't move to my part of the country.
We need dignified affordable housing we don't want shelters we need jobs that pay livable quality wages we need mental health and substance abuse intervention . Laws that crack down on the dealers . This needs to happen on a national level .
It’s only going to get worse
America did have laws against mentally ill/drug addicts living on the streets but they were done away with I think in the 80s. The idea behind it is “people have a right to be homeless” and “no one should be forced to take their medication.” Now I think someone must be declared incompetent by a judge for that to happen.
@@ThingsILikke they stop funding mental institutions. Not a popular thing due to various movies about mental institutions.
Then maybe don't stay in California. Why complain about the rent when you can actually go to Alaska and have the government pay you for staying there?
What is the minimum wage do you think California should go to that is livable? We just hiked a 5 year plan to put the state minimum wage to $15/hr.
The man who planted cactus was brilliant !! I use to just turn on my sprinklers but now I'm going to purchase cactus and tire size rocks
Government needs to come in and help the homeless to the best they can
That is sad. I know how it feels being homeless. I was homeless for a little while
I don't understand why some homeless people find the need to set up a tent in the most convenient location for themselves and have a complete disregard for others as they urinate on the sidewalks and leave trash everywhere. I can assure you that if I was homeless, it'd be too shameful for me to do any of that and I'd rather make sure to just go camping or do whatever else before considering setting up tents next to someone's home.
I dont think the homeless have shame? shame of what?
I think if you experience what it is like to be homeless and having no one to turn to. I feel like you would understand what it is like. There were a few times I almost had no choice but to be homeless. I wouldn't be ashamed. I would be scared and felt alone. But I am grateful for the people who stayed at my side. And I feel so blessed for being with my fiance
Most of today's homeless actually have jobs. Their problem is that their job does not pay enough to rent the cheapest apartment in the city where they work. This has been made gradually worse by wages not keeping up with real inflation. If it happened all at once, the entire nation would have revolted.
No, these kind of homeless people will not slumming it with the drug addicts in the side road. Since some shelters prohibit the use of drugs they will use the shelters. The lucky ones have friends where they can sometimes sleep with or an old car.
Not really true. Where Im from. they're just addicts and mentally ill people who don't want to go to shelters cause shelters have rules. If people stopped giving them money most would pack up and leave. They have completely ruined our neighborhoods.
That's such socialism propaganda.
Few people work a full time job.
Fewer than 10% work two jobs
A large part is that houses cost way too much in California. Probably because they don’t let you build tall buildings in a lot of places
Drugs and/or mental illness is the issues that MOST homeless face. Please stop spreading misinformation.
Making it illegal to sleep on the sidewalk does nothing to solve the homelessness. It just makes already rough lives even rougher. 😕
They seem like good structure to put a tarp over and block some wind. As an outdoorsmen I see an improvement for camping here.
This doesn't solve the problem of homelessness in the first place, just makes it easier to avoid. This is just sad.
How do you help people that dont want to be helped?
It solve the problem for the woman to feel safe walking in her neighbourhood. Maybe think about the other 50% of the population sometimes

I'm not supporting or not supporting the homeless - I'm just looking at this video with practicality in mind. I think the guy who put cacti in his own garden has a workable approach. Somehow, however, the issue of homelessness needs to be addressed on a broader level.

As someone who may be homeless in the near future, let me just say that this does not make me feel optimistic about my prospects.
I know what you mean. Let’s hope for better times. And better people.
You're not alone
Many times, you can't help someone who doesn't want help. Some, I say some! don't want the help offererd to them. I agree with social programs, but I also agree with stopping programs that hinder them or just do hand me downs mentality. It's ok to hold them accountable and follow stricter laws. These people need more than food and shelter. For some It's their choice to disconnect and live freely, but it shouldn't be at the expense of others.
How many unhoused people do you know? What about people who live in their cars? I do, and most of them have jobs. Others have untreated schizophrenia and other mental disorders that render them disabled. The choice being made isn’t theirs, it’s ours as a society to let this happen. It is our responsibility to do better for everyone.

@@wearisomenomad7946 Iam sure they did. If you had people camped out across from your house. Would you tell on the person that came up with a remedy? It's easy to feel sorry for people until they camp out in your front yard.

No one should be homeless . Period .
We pay enough taxes to help the homeless. This is disheartening.
I would rather have boulders in my neighborhood than have trash laying all over the place from homeless people.
Can you imagine coming home at night and you hit some homeless guy in the street? I’ve come pretty close to doing that twice. Some strung out people right in the middle of the dark road at night couldn’t see them til they were 10 feet in front of my moving car.
This is so messed up
So instead of helping homeless people get off the street, we’re pulling an “out of sight out of mind” thing.
This is heartbreakingly cruel. The money spent on transporting & strategically placing the boulders, they could've put toward a program for temporary housing or some other useful solution.
Karma is something else though--especially in this COVID-ladened, economically unstable world we're living in. You never know when you'll find yourself in their shoes.
Exactly. Some private citizen had all the time and money in the world to install these quarter ton heavy boulders but couldn't invest a penny in cleaning the area, passing out some meals, or hell even buying new tents for the people?
@@bobBob-yz9ur You can't be serious... nobody should be paying over half a million dollars for their home to have a homeless tent city in their front yard
Though I can see the other side of this story, my heart hurts for these people who have no where to go.
Seen these kind of boulders before, they don't work. The homeless will comeback and just move them out of the way.
Ahh but then they will have destroyed the public rock garden and can be jailed and possibly sentanced to their worst fear....hard labor!
Don't feed the pigeons. Compassion is the weakness they prey upon.
I see a lot of people talking about obvious hazards of having to live near a homeless encampment such as needles, garbage, feces and urine, but there is also a less obvious effect of having a constant visible homeless population that I rarely see get talked about: what it can do to a child’s psyche by being exposed to people with these kinds of problems. I don’t know any statistics, but I would bet there was a correlation between constantly being exposed to homeless people and becoming homeless at some point in your lifetime. I was walking in downtown LA one day and there was a homeless man sprawled out into the gutter unconscious and I saw a woman walking past him with a stroller with a 1 year old in it and a 2 or 3 year old girl walking next to her mom and I couldn’t help thinking what seeing this man was doing to the child’s mind. I think this little kid lived in that neighborhood and had to see stuff like this all the time and it depressed me.
Kid'll prolly grow up with empathy and try to make a better world for them.
There is absolutely no correlation between seeing homeless people and ending up homeless in your later years.
i'd have to say these boulders really rock, thank you
Put these people in positions to do better it’s messed up
Good you can take them to your house
Those people don't want help. They don't seek shelters. Don't you understand that. They don't want to work, they don't want to follow curfews or rules.
You do and atleast 70 percent end up doing the same things that got them there
@Michael Van Horne not everyone has a car or a will to live
And, someone in a wheelchair can pass by how exactly? 😡🤬
"I feel distraught... might have or might not have… gotten the resources they need..." Wow! You're an amazing human!! Clearly you strive to go above and beyond what your taxes provide for!!! So please... create and endow the fund you envision will lift up these people you care so much about!
Would the fire trucks and ambulances still have access to get into that area if need be?
Those areas were blocked by huge homeless encampments. So this actually opened up more space to get through.
@@oldkittykiyru Great point. I was just curious.
Kinda weird too how with all the CCTV no one has footage of the UFO putting all of those boulders there.
no.
@@oldkittykiyru except you can pick up a tent and move, you can't just pick up a boulder.
Why not just help them out instead?
Because that costs lots of time, effort, and money, and the government would rather keep all of those things for themselves.
Some people just opt for homeless even though they have education and have the ability to find a job.
How can you help people who does not want to help themselves.
California spends $14 billion a year helping homeless. How much more tax dollars do you want them to spend?
Homelessness is a big Business in California Seriously 6 billion spent on government agencies, programs, salaries and administration costs, government jobs basically but with out Homeless people the money stops flowing. They really don't want to solve the problem there is no money in solving the problem only treating it.
The cost of the boulders could have helped the homeless more then just moving them on to find another place to camp.
The park is NOT a camping ground. It is for the neighborhood and children. My heavens!!!
My first time driving through Echo Park seeing all the tents in a nice green area, i was like wow i should just pitch a tent here and save rent. Literally looked like a camp ground
Honestly have to agree all the parks in my town can't even be used because there is always someone trying to threaten you with a knife and needles all over the playgrounds that children play in 😩
Imagine paying hundreds to move big boulders to move homeless people but not pay for resources instead to get them fed and healthy and working again :(
I wish every homeless person had the will and want to be better off but sometimes I see homeless people get the counseling and help they need but want to stay homeless. :c and it just ruins the money that can be spent helping those who want to be helped.
No citizen should have to pay for another adult. And there’s programs.
Sad the city spent money to pay employees to place those stones that the city had to most likely purchase. Odd times we all live in. Just sad that same money could have helped those folks.
Here in germany local authorities once have placed boulders under a bridge so the homeless weren't able to sleep under it. But that was unecessary and inhumane since they didn't bothered anyone, not like in this case.
I love the way it’s always someone else’s fault and not the individuals.
It's the individuals' fault certainly but once someone becomes a homeless drug addict the chances they'll just fix their own lives is pretty darn low.
@@cs4155 Clue to you the only way they will fix their lives is if they do it their self. The problem with the society these days is they act like they can fix someone else that is not willing to be fixed, and they enable them which slows their spiral to rock bottom. People have to be sick in tired of being sick in tired and then THEY WILL CHANGE THEIR LIVES.
she should invite them to her house

Brings a whole new meaning to "kick rocks!" Lol!
Congrats everyone, we solved the homeless problem. We made it illegal to be homeless! High fives all around.
Contribute to society or be euthanized!
You'd think with California's exhorbitant and heavy taxes there'd be programs to house the homeless.
California spends $14 billion a year helping homeless. How much more tax dollars do you want them to spend?
I give up on humanity
@@joedaddy5 you seriously use who asked in 2022
I hope whoever made the rocks magically appear conscious is eternally bothered by shame.
Lol to the lady who didn't know where these homeless ppl went, she so worried but won't allow them to stay in her yard.
I was homeless for years without help an I had my kids an girlfriend through it all an still no kelp
I want you to see peace (￣ ▽ ￣) 💕💕

They've been doing this in SoCal & it's been such a blessing !!!! There's been No poop, no trash, no needles, no drunks walking around starting fights !!!!
Done this in Australia too. When they should be fixing the housing crisis they do this instead.
This is brilliant
It's sad that the people have to do what the police can't do.

What about the police?
The police did do this
If you feel bad why don't you take them home and give them a place to sleep.
That is what the other commandments of the bible wanted people to do.
If she feels so bad , she should house them
Hopefully someone doesn’t trip on them and sue the dummy that decides to place boulders there AFTER a law was created to bar people from sleeping there
