- Los Angeles, CA, February 9, 2024 - In a significant initiative aimed at enhancing public amenities and addressing the challenge of homelessness, the City of Los Angeles has embarked on a comprehensive cleanup operation at Venice Beach. The restrooms at the beach, which have often served as makeshift shelters for homeless individuals, were the focus of this operation, highlighting the city's broader commitment to improving public facilities and the living conditions of its homeless population.
The cleanup operation was a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Department of Public Works and Recreation and Parks, with assistance from Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. Teams were equipped with protective gear to safely handle and dispose of hazardous materials, underlining the city's dedication to ensuring the safety of its workers during the process.
The initiative involved meticulous sorting of debris by the Clean Harbors team, who isolated hazardous items such as batteries and syringes, paving the way for the Public Works team to efficiently manage the collection of non-hazardous waste. This methodical approach reflects the city's holistic strategy in tackling homelessness and maintaining public health standards.
Moreover, the operation is complemented by regular cleanups along the Venice Beach Boardwalk every Friday, with Los Angeles Park Rangers playing a pivotal role in overseeing these efforts to ensure safety and adherence to regulations. This consistent maintenance effort is part of a larger city-wide strategy to provide immediate relief to homeless individuals while also addressing the root causes of homelessness.
Councilwoman Traci Park, through her Housing Coordinator, has been instrumental in facilitating coordination among various city departments involved in the homeless encampment task force. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) also played a key role by offering outreach services during the cleanup, further illustrating the city's integrated approach to this social issue.
This recent cleanup operation at Venice Beach is a testament to Los Angeles' ongoing commitment to finding balanced solutions to homelessness. By focusing on both immediate needs and the underlying causes, the city aims to offer sustainable assistance and resources to its vulnerable communities, striving for a lasting positive impact in the fight against homelessness.

Daisy is spiraling down. She's looks worn out and out of touch with reality. Thanks for filming this, Fabian.
Daisy or whatever the middle age woman's name is looks haggard and out of touch with everything, she needs intervention and help in a mental health facility, sad that her family can or will not step in, she does have a chance if she is on meds to help her with coping with every day life.
She's helping the homeless and doing physical work in building them for the homeless 😭
The US is spiralling down. It looks worn down and out of touch with reality.
She needs mental help. who walks around barefoot and talks non sense. she needs to heal herself not Venice
That's the real the Flintstone 's wife of Fred
@@thegoodtom1718Not really.
@@thegoodtom1718 yes everyone has a right to their own views, as long as they are in their right frame of mind to do so, but she is not sound minded, and sadly as longs as she continues this misguided journey of building illegal shacks on wheels on the beach for bums that the city keeps tearing down, instead of working to get a stable home so she can get her children returned to her. so sadly her views are those of a unwell mind that cares more about crack shacks for addicts then the well being of her own children, she's clearly a sole in need psychiatric care....
They are going to find her done badly before her magical saga ends. Even the other unsheltered and mentally ill find her intrusive.
She not a mental case. She disorder in her brain. That causes her to act like this. She wont take her meds. I no person with the same thing. Does no right from with the meds. This is why she not in a mental hospital. And she is married now.
DAISY WALKING AROUND BAREFOOT IN THE TURDS 😅😂
🤭
🤢🤢🤮
and she throws herself at the cleaning men who may not want her touching them!
Don’t panic….. it’s organic 😅
@@HeadNtheClouds 🤭
She doesn’t need any megaphone. She’s an attention hound.
with no respect to the many uniforms.
It's sad, public workers have to cleanup after grown up individuals, many suffering a multitude of issues.
Sad and necessary.
Left Coast privilege
If I was in charge of that area, then it wouldn't be a shithole. We'd start by enforcing laws already on the books. And no more blocking the sidewalk, no more loitering, no criminal mischief, no menacing, no disorderly conduct, we'd fix Prop 47, and we'd put a law on the books much like Florida's Baker Act. Everything would be pressure washed and repainted. Beach bathrooms would be empty and locked after hours. No camping on the beach. And that's just how I'd start.
@@BeachLife66 You're the one getting ratioed. 🤣
the homeless folks are creating jobs for a lot of people. don't be bad. be nice instead. The cleaning up crew guys need those jobs 😂😂😂😂. please, you know there's a brighter side for everything as well as the darker side, of course. so thanks, homeless folks, for providing this desparelly neeede jobs for so many people😂😂😂.
Those bathrooms need a pay per entry system. They are disgusting!
@@JosePerez-fe2gv Creating jobs that the taxpayers have to pay. California already has a 68 billion dollar budget deficit . California needs more jobs,but not the jobs funded by the taxpayers.
@@BeachLife66
YOU GOTTA BE ON THE GANJA……I DONT PAY MY HORRIBLE CALIFORNIA TAXES TO LIVE IN THIS WOKE LIBERAL TOXIC CRIME FILLED,HOMELESS FILLED RATHOLE CAKLED CALIFORNIA TO DEAL WITH THIS FILTH AT THE BEACH. CALIFORNIA HAS 1/3 OF IT’S PROPLE ON WELFARE AND OVER 35% OF THE HOMELESS FOR THE ENTIRE USA. CALIFORNIA IS OFFICIALLY A FAILED STATE.
The clean up crew are thinking “Oh shit not daisy again !”😩😩
she is so narcisstic she thinks everyone wants her breast implants pushed against their chests. she doesnt understand boundaries
yea, i bet they haaate staring at those...eyes
Daisy is let’s be truthful just flat out crazy. She needs some mental health treatment. The authorities put up with her and allow her too much leeway.
I’ve heard some interviews.
She definitely can think critically & articulates herself immensely well.
I think saying she’s bat shit crazy is a little more like it. I don’t understand why these people get away with this granted I live in Idaho, but we take care of trash and there’s no way in hell these people would be allowed to live in bathrooms and there’s also no way in hell that they would be allowed to treat city workers the way they do it’s BS, they also like advocates for the homeless over there because if they do, they’re doing a shit job
@@PauloHernandezXD...so did Charles Manson.
@@nojnoj3069 yep, charisma is a real double edged sword that could be used for both good & evil.
Daisy needs SSI money for her mental illnesses
OK Daisy is very erratic today. And I don’t understand why she is always causing trouble when she thinks she is not and why the hell does everybody have such a big problem when those are not their bathrooms they get so mad at the people around that are trying to get it cleaned up and that’s their freaking job.
She is also pandering to the camera whole lot more. Need attention much
She is definitely getting worse, she seldom smiles anymore and her temper tantrums are now a daily occurrence, She thinks those bathrooms were made for the homeless to sleep in and taxpaying citizens and money spending tourists have no right to use them. That is why the homeless keep them as dirty as possible to keep normal people from using them.
They don't seem to mind.
That woman should be arrested for obstruction.....she's just stirring those toilet dwellers up into abusive idiots ....what an absurd carry on .....
she encourages them to live in filth
Checked toilets every night and put locks on them. Open in morning. Problem solved
🤷you would think
Keep outsourcing jobs put everyone in jail and when they get out no one hires them and they can move into tents also let people come in from third world countries that got away with worse😢
Another reason I’ve heard they keep them unlocked at night, that if someone actually HAS to use the restroom, they don’t want them urinating or defecting on the beach.
Someone please help the girl Daisy she obviously has a mental problem. I watch her on other channels she needs help. I wish I could help her but I am in Virginia. 😢
All you so called daisy fans.. notice not too long ago she was wearing braces on her teeth.. she always has on new outfits EVERYDAY, and they are clean.. you don’t see her sleeping there at night EVER.. she is in her warm cozy bed or whoever she is swallowing that night.. she in the Venice beach pin cushion.. everybody sticks her.. ask her where her kids are and why she is not allowed to see them.. quit praising her and tune her out if you can.. she is definitely self winding and never shuts her lipstick mouth..
How does Daisy walk around those toilets bare foot 😵💫
Betty Rubble has granite feet
Just a constant cycle. Insanity.
Reopen the Mental Institutions 👍
People have been tricked into thinking that the mentally unstable fending for themselves is somehow a practice of love and empathy.
Very good.
Too many unscrupulous people (including many activists) have made a lot of money off of that scam for a long, long time.@@xteb65
Worse is that the overall population of America is so much bigger than it used to be in the early/mid 20th century when they still were major.
Who’s gonna wanna work those jobs anyway? It’s all messed up :(
Tom has moved from sleeping in the bathrooms to sleeping on the beach. What a life.
American dream😁
Cleaner lol
They should be really glad that I’m not there because every bit of that stuff would be out. I don’t care who’s it is.
BINGO
Someones got pretty privilege
When I see the homeless being awoken, at least they got some sleep!
I keep watching this daisy and more and more I realize she doesn’t have to be homeless this is all an act she’s just doing this for Publicity sympathy for the Devil
She is not homeless..
Daisy has a different outfit on in every video. She’s doing pretty good for a homeless girl.
Not homeless ..
Also very well makeup
she had way too much on in this video! her make up and coconut oils are more important to her than her own children being raised by other people. sad.@@Sonia39333
She's playing homeless.... She's phony!!
@@Sonia39333 Permanent make up, not cheap to have done.
Why don’t they just lock the restrooms at night
Yikes again and again it never ends with the homeless problem nor never ends with daisy making zero sense when she speaks.
her brain is fried from too many drugs as well as having a narcisstic exhibitionist mental condition-probably why she is not raising her own children
Chick w/the the megaphone is more annoying than a pebble in your shoe. Main character syndrome for sure. Jeeeeeeeeeeesssus
she is also a trust fund baby who abandoned her kids and this is what she does.
America's inability to solve problems like this does not bode well for the future.
It's not inability though, it's unwillingness. In LA it's evidently being treated as a sanitation issue, but is a chronic social issue ignored by federal government.
What a waste of taxpayers money.
So is wasting taxpayers money on illegal aliens
Druggy temper tantrum. That druggy pulls this stunt over and over. It's his choice.
Why do they go through this every week they clean out this beach and the restrooms and when they come back the next week everything is back in place they need to keep them from returning
If there are no homeless people, cleaners will have no jobs. Vicious circle. This will go on forever.
Stop this stupid riddle
Daisy looks like the Joker from BatMan lol
Esa es la dichosa daysy 😊
It’s kinda cute, ngl >;3
@@PauloHernandezXD🤣
@@thekid1597 yeah, I know, lol
Thank you! I was thinking the very same thing! 😳
Daisy needs help. Gotta love her free spirit thoughh
They should knock on the door and say...HOUSEKEEPING.
God it's a never ending merry-go-round of chaos there!
Daisy the Venice Menace the camera Queen is back who in the hell gave Daisy a megaphone😂😂😂
I grew up in Burbank and I was down in that area all my childhood and I can never remember it being anywhere close to this this is unreal let alone the last 3 years. I actually feel really bad for the people that got lost and couldn't find their way back after covid it breaks my heart because a lot of good people got lost in the messed up situation
The black haired guy that was sleeping in the restroom sounds like he has some serious issues.
And drug issues as well I would think, both of which aren't being treated.
Sounds tormented. Needs mental help. So sad.
They all have issues
@@clough40 I agree. I think anyone on the streets now has substance abuse issues, mental health issues, or just chooses the lifestyle. My great uncle was homeless all his life by choice. He rejected help and preferred alcohol.
@@heehaw8401 so sad
Daisy as sweet as she is, is really fuckin’ annoying lol.
She has found an audience and a theater at her home's door
after seeing this at 36:00 remember it's not so cute when your kids act like this as adults
I fast forward or just leave when Daisy starts her chaos and crap.
The most important thing is to be kind to the people you meet, to talk to them, to help them remember the good things and you will slowly but surely be healed !!!
That mental case again 😡not worth watching
New dye job & makeup from Dollar Tree! 🤪 Oh great, now she has a megaphone!
Stop embarrassing yourself & huggin' on the old men, etc...
How does Daisy end up in all your videos? Does she look for you or do you look for her?
I think both😄
Both, she attracts light workers.
Daisy looks so much like her father. He was such a passionate violinist. I can see where she gets her beauty and passion from.
And passion for meth and not being a parent to 3 kids you forgot that sucker
Who's her dad?
Eugene Fodor@@ZapRowsdower47
Who’s her dad?
Yes Venice is beautiful been watching all ,let's keep that way be safe and take care lus
Fema camps in the desert forced rehab
@thegoodtom1718 A civilized society needs rules. In a world without a civilized society, these people would probably be dead. They get food provided by the people that do follow the rules. I have compassion for the homeless, I also have compassion for the majority of people who are hardworking and just want to take their kids to the beach without worrying about the mentally ill or used needles or human piss and shit on the beach or the ability to use a public bathroom.
What a great idea, a CZcams channel for California clean-up. Now on to Sacramento.
Derelict Daisy's on class act 🤣 not
Daisy is one can short of a six pack🤭🤣😂
Meth is worth giving up you’re kids 🎵la la la daaa! -“Daisy”
Beach front toilets.
Also know as condos for the homeless,
Fred Flintstone feet
They should put built in sprinklers in every bathroom, to come on 3 times every night (with a two minute warning beep)
This would certainly solve the probl😢
you do a great job thank you
I kinda used to like the fact that Daisy helped, although for attention. Until I saw her video on another channel for the reason of her losing her kids due to severe violence. Now I cannot stand the look of her. She is not crazy- she is a self-loving narcissist.
Where is this video?
Filibustering for freedom; megaphone showdown of peace!
Daisy Daisy quite contrary how does your garden grow; oh no it doesn't 'cause the cops done cropped the crops:)
Daisey all respect put some shoes on and start livein a life with out nothin on the beach every day another 30 yrs doin the same thing thiers more to life think
He is crying because he got evicted from a public restroom? Lawd have mercy
1:58 "Stop waking him up !" .. wha? "There's gunna be a Showdown !" 🤣
Why aren’t the toilets locked every night and opened in the morning?
They should be demolished and new supervised ones erected or with some AI system to prevent improper usage. It's disgusting that an area which is marketed as being a place for tourists to visit, has toilets in this condition in 2024!!
Seems every generation has its own crazy Bish. On the street crazy mary back at the nineties
SUGGESTION: I am new to your channel so maybe you have already done this...
Maybe contact German in Venice and you two could do some sort of collaborative CZcams video. It would give your channel more potential viewers and subscribers!! I think that this would be very interesting.
I am going to go over to Mike's channel and make the same suggestion to him!
Keep up the great content!
I love Santa Monica and Venice Beach!
Forced rehab or jail
mental institutes. make nomad camps avail with no trashing or hoarding.
WHAT IS SAD IS THE HUMANITY LACKING CITIES THAT START THIS BY SETTING THE RULES IN LIFE EITHER YOU ARE LUCKY, OR NOT. HAVE BEEN IN BOTH
WORLDS, SO DO NOT JUDGE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE STILL A PART OF ALL OF US...REMEMBER THE OTHER SIDE...WHEN YOU DIE ALL THAT IS
LEFT IS UNGOTS ...NOTHING, BUT WHAT LOVE YOU GAVE TO OTHERS.
Maybe occupying less expensive real estate would be a more sustainable plan?
People need to use the restrooms. If you lock them then they will go in the streets.
The guy crying because he had to leave bathroom is the problem no men left grow up get a job and take a bath
what is this city come to that people are living in toilets.
You could say that so many American cities are turning into one big toilet, with people being flushed down them.
"Knock-knock"
Who there?
"Room-service" 😂 Hotel🚽
How much of the taxpayer's money is being wasted on this nonsense. Most restrooms in So CA, beach communities don't even have doors, just a very small door partitioning the small toilet part. And now, if there is room in a shelter, the no public camping laws are being enforced.
hello from BC
thanks to the homeless folks the cleaning crew workers have stable jobs. without homeless no more trash and no more cleaning up jobs n the cleaning up guys become homeless too. 😂😂😂😂..
U couldnt film this for a movie , no one would believe it
At and past 28:16 is that Tracy DeSantos that keeps arguing in the background lol.
@ 36:49 ... heartbreaking reality...prevalence of suffering, be it behavioral or illness, is akin to 1500s medieval demon possession levels meeting with albeit kinder humanity.
The Liberal Demonrat Party 2024 sure hope you’re not a hypocrite and they don’t have you’re vote
Oh for goodness sake, the gauking and projection has to stop. Do park and recreation rake the sand daily?
As a tax payer if I go to the beach or park and if I need to use the bathroom and they are locked I would be pissed off, I might even piss on myself!
When is Fabian gonna buy Daisy some shoes? 🤷♂😂😂😂😂🥾👟👠👞👡
The Maintenance crew " jams " but guys have your supervisor issue leather gloves🤘
Now shes got a megaphone,shit thos is turning into a reality show!🤣
Vieleicht brauchen sie ein syschische Hilfe!!😊
Reminds me of the 60’s game Mystery Date. “Open the door for your, Mystery Date”. “Will it be a dream, or a dud?”
IT'S DAISY🌼🦋
Funny How THANGS work out.
Such a shame to see someone like loudspeaker/ skateboard girl in such a mess. Likely took the wrong turn in life and now theres little hope of return, its so sad...
This is disgusting why are there not safe places for people who don't 😢 have a place to lay their head at night. America is better than what we see it has become.
Im guessing alot of people standing around with tags around their neck are social workers?What are they doing there?except watching?Seen them in alot of these videos... This is so sad 😐

@@kdarbinian4457 they’re probably doing it to avoid their comment being auto deleted by CZcams for being considered a “mean” comment.
Why is there there a dot after word you write ?🤔
So much WASTE😢
Enforce the law. You are too lenient with Daisy etc.
Didn’t Prince see this mental condition before he married her? It’s so evident.
It's evident he has problems, too!
@@lovesmimiv6583 They both have.

these must be the most expensive public restrooms ever , and also the most sjaiiiiiiittiestet ever !!!!
it is a total dump / gorefest ; and the ridiculous numbers of personel to just do the littlest of cleaning .
what a clownworld .
and when all is done ...... 2 minutes later the occupants come back and ruin it all again and again .
an insane asylum would have been cheaper .
This is very sad :(

Would be cheaper to just House and Feed our homeless citizens! Kinda like the way Illegals are taken care of. EBT, WIC, SNAP, $2000/mo et cetera.
Daisey does make me laugh thou
Same in the uk billions for the world but hardly a penny for our own
I hope they designed those so they can be pressure washed!
All the people they need to sweep these, hire a couple employees to unfortunately have to man the bathrooms. Have to ask to be let in to use it.
Daisy wants chaos...so ahe can feel comfortable....Daisy walking in people Piss and Pee
I'm going to get her a bad ass new skateboard someday when I get off my feet hopefully sooner than later?!?... .. 😅
Kid's don't do Venice....its Zombie land, head for the mountains for recreational opportunities.
