Should set up those tent cities outside the gates to the rich Hollywood bums communities..see what oprah or Kimmel say when its thier driveways and sidewalks are the ones being shit on and used for crack meth and heroin addicts to share needles and sell thier buttholes for the next fix leaving used disease infested condoms for thier kids to find while playing on thier swing sets😂 I bet they'll want the firing squads posted at the gates😂
My biggest dream growing up was being able to skate along Venice beach and go to LA. I'd spend so much time depressed and sad because I could see it all on youtube and TV but I could never get there. Finally last year before my 23rd birthday I decided to book a trip to LA/Vegas and then finally Texas, all because I wanted to try some BBQ brisket I had seen on a food documentary. Shout out to Franklin BBQ! 3 days in LA was the worse trip I've ever been on. I swear to god I didn't speak to a single person except a homeless guy at Venice beach. No one gave a shit about you, food was so expensive. Close to Venice beach was this cafe, ordered a avocado sandwich not seeing the price and it come to 20 bucks. I didn't feel safe when the sun went down. Was hands down awful, maybe it was because I'm by myself, but my long childhood dream for years, crushed just like that. Vegas was incredible. Gambled maybe 20 bucks lol, but downtown was so fun with the music. Met some incredible people. But Texas, I went there with no expectations. just to try some bbq and stay for a few days. But I met the best people who are now my best friends today, had the best time of my life and had some incredible bbq. Honestly, the best place I've ever been too in my entire life. Austin and north of Dallas, a little city called Plano. Great memories. The first bar I visited in Texas, was a guy with a cowboy hat and called me out on having a nice watch. 5 Minutes later he's buying me a drink and inviting me to go shooting with him. I really hope Texas never changes. The rich who live in LA doesn't deserve the heart warming state of Texas. And I'm from the suburbs of London England.
That’s Good ol southern hospitality you don’t get anywhere else In USA . Had a lovely time in Texas myself. Had a whisky shot ,bacon strip and orange juice . Called it the breakfast shot!
As a Australian my first time going to LA was not what I expected or saw on tv, Homeless people, crazy people and they kept asking me if I was British.
Texas is done dude. It's getting 1,000 Californians and New Yorkers moving there a day. The idiotic lockdowns are also going to dramatically increase homelessness everywhere when the economy collapses. It's over for Texas and most places.
Ya Texas is going away from purple and towards blue in a couple of years. Tarrant county population grew by 40%. And it’s a chance they may be voting blue in primary red county.
Bye bye Texas. I live here but we all know these leftists will get their way. Soon everything will be censored all to hell. The second amendment will be gone and after that, the first will go bye bye as well. We already see Canada has banned hate speech
My favorite LA memory: I was sitting passenger in the car my mom was driving. We're passing by a grocery store parking lot where I am watching a man poop into his hand, gather it, and throw it at the wall in front of him. The poop stain was there for years.
Went on holiday to LA from the UK.Really was a shithole.So many homeless,overcrowded and literally saw a guy get mugged. Also everybody is so self involved
I lived in san Antonio and Austin. homeless and panhandling bad their too. basically all big citys. half or more of Californias homeless are from out of state.
I was a kid in the 80's and remember going by Skid Row back then. At that time, the tents were just cardboard boxes. They were there since I can remember, but there weren't as many of them. I have also been there in the last 3 years, and it looks like a city of Mad Max extras.

@kommisar there are a lotta street food vendors, or fast casual places that got michilin stars n shit. You'd be surprised. It's not all high end multi-course dining
Several years ago my son and I went to downtown L.A. to go to a shop in Little Tokyo. He was 12 at the time. While looking for parking, I turned the street and ended up driving through the heart of skid row. Several men on the street were shouting and attempting to flirt with me. My son looked surprised and said, “Mom, you attract men!” I laughed and was like, “Yeah, homeless ones!” 😂
It breaks my heart to see what CA has become. It used to be truly wonderful. It had already started its decline when I first visited in the 1980's, but I still dreamed of moving there. Now, I'm glad I never did.
I just got back from LA. I live in Tennessee. The culture shock factor was on par with going to a foreign country on the other side of the planet. I didn’t know there could be that many homeless people in one place. I’ve also never seen anyone shit on a street before. Now I can say I’ve seen it multiple times! Woohoo
@@kenc.2448 dude just becaue someone or a group of people have a bad situation doesnt mean you can't make a joke about it. Plenty of people who live under unfortunate situations joke about to spread awareness or to show people they're people too etc. There's nothing wrong with it, get off this imaginary high horse, stop with patronizing passive aggressive bs and let people have a good laugh. Do you have a brain tumor? Is that why you're acting the way you are? If not then stop being upset and frankly annoying for a man who's been dead for a very long time.
Guys, I'm pretty sure Maxwell Lynch is honestly telling us he doesn't get the joke... because he'd like to laugh about it too. I mean, it's so obvious it's kind of sad he's getting bullied instead. Maxwell, the joke Ben makes about finding a man lying face down in the gutter simply alludes to Edgar Allen Poe being found delirious in the streets right before the writer's death. The details of why Poe was in such a destitute situation is surrounded in mystery probably not unlike the plot of the first Hangover movie. It's funny but more of a meer chuckle as opposed a knee slapping hee-hee-haw-haw.
Sounds like what's been happening in Texas for a while now. Austin has tons of homeless people with all the problems they bring. Other towns in central TX (& even Dallas/Ft. Worth!) have been buying bus tickets to Austin for their homeless & sending them...local governments know once the bums arrive in Austin, they're not likely to return. Austin has too many public services, church-funded pantries, etc. for that... It's called "Greyhound therapy".
I don’t really see homeless in a warm climate as that much of a problem. They are there because that is what they want and I don’t think it’s some terrible existence like most people think. They literally have no bills no problems and the only thing they have to spend money on is drugs. Would they really be that much happier spending their entire day at work to live in a shitty tiny place that is barely better than a tent? They don’t get a job because they are happier without one. Until working all day for minimum wage is way better than just living outside in nice weather with no responsibilities then homeless rates won’t go down.
Rent is due to high demand vs supply. Cali needs to clear the bums,crack down on illegals, and block outsiders from moving in. Let people leave, deport the illegals, ban public camping and you are already in a better position. Dems=idiots
@@californio1850 a good chunk of the illegals get there and find a way to obtain government assistance and NOT work. They have 12 kids with their wife who will also collect benefits. Drive to any govt housing in LA ... it is all Mexicans that speak zero english. Their trick is to get to America, have kids on American soil so that they can be considered American citizens, get a job that pays cash, file for govt assistance etc. An unfair loophole that should be shut. Check out Ron Paul's response to this. We need to be harder/smarter when it comes to illegals.
He did it cause he doesn’t want to pay taxes but that still kind of a stupid reason to move to Texas. It’s always hot and their is a crazy homeless problem I’m every major city
@@scottabramo8953 There was a news article a few years back that some states were paying for bus trips for homeless people to these cities. I dont remember of the top of my head how exactly it was worded but it pretty much claimed that some states would just put homeless ppl in a greyhound and shipped them to CA. I have been living in LA for a better part of 11 years now and it was not this bad before, it definitely exploded which leads me to believe the article in question had some validity to it.
@Christina R yeah, which is one of the reasons I get kid of pissed when people say “oh look california is turning into a hell hole because of the homeless, take care of your homeless” and I’m like “...bruh they are not our homeless”. It has grown exponentially the past few years too, it’s definitely not normal as you can see from this video. I would understand if it was 2008 at the peak of the housing crisis but not anymore. I do think the mayors need to do a better job controlling the population though. I read as well that there was an initiative to provide gov housing at some point but not sure how that turned out. Besides, if some of these people are mentally ill, it’s unlikely they would take that out anyway.
Nobody talks about how decrepid LA had become especially with our homeless problem the media is virtually silent on it, great to hear someone bring it up
the media doesnt talk about it because the homelessness and drug use is symptomatic of democrat policies. They would never point out the obvious and monstrous flaws in the leftist agenda.
dragonsder yeah unfortunately most of my dads side of the family moved up to Washington in the 90s but my dad and I are the only conservatives remaining in our part of town, although more and more of my friends, GenZ are turning conservative through CZcams videos and stuff so there is still hope!
I moved from LA years ago , it’s my motivation to do better in life so that I never have to return, driving there is insane, trying to park is insane, trying to take a walk is insane trying to make a decent living and afford to pay rent is INSANE , sad place indeed 👎🏼
My sister moved there for her teaching credential. And is still there 5 years later. My folks and I can’t convince her to leave (nor can her LA friends). I loathe LA for your same reasons and more.

Got a LA story for you. after filling my car with $4 per gallon gasoline i'm driving down the street when i get pulled over by a bike cop that was hiding in the bushes for going 5mph over the limit. as i wait for my $300 ticket less than 30 feet away from us there is a guy cooking & selling food out of a stolen shoping cart retrofitted with a propane tank. i get my ticket cop leaves & does a zig-zag maneuver to go around the shopping cart chef to get back to his hiding spot. i go home & make plans to move the heck out of LA.
Yo I lived right outside downtown LA for like 8 months, about a year ago. There were tents outside the apt building I lived in, and I walked thru dtla to get to work and I’ve seen someone just pull down their pants and take a shit on the streets in broad daylight smh!
I listen to Shapiro’s podcast on my forklift every night at work. I put him on 1.5 speed. He sounds like one of those chipmunks, but I can’t still understand him.
Exactly. There's a group of people THOUSANDS in sample size who don't social distance, don't mask, haven't changed anything their lives for the entirety of this bs pandemic... and they're doing JUST fine. Not dying. Not even sick. Their groups are actually GROWING.

Had people been living responsibly and within their means they could have saved money and moved to another area of America where the cost of living and the salaries are comparable
The overwhelming majority of homeless people have severe mental illness or serious drug addictions. They are not average people who just fell on hard times. Yes, rents have skyrocketed, but that is a separate issue from chronic homelessness.
Southern California weather attracts homeless people. It's just a fact. But Reagan cancelling mental asylums in the 80s without a proper monitored replacement is what brought us to this. That and our drug problem.
@@yujiro424 80% of Americans live check by check. 500k homeless. mental illness on rise. 22 veterans commit suicide per day. economy would be crashing hard if not for government printing monopoly money.
@@mr.anderson1454 It's called personal responsibility. I only make 30-40k a year and 50% of that is disposable because I know how to budget. I grew up amongst the lower classes, I know how stupid 80% of people are and they deserve their lot.
California has been on this trajectory since the '70s. It was the state that everyone wanted to move to, and they did. Cali doesn't have that much buildable land as everyone thinks considering its size. Its geography and shape make it very difficult. So eventually, it couldn't keep up with the demand and everything started collapsing. Rent increased, property values soared, wealthy foreigners started buying up property further exasperating the problem. Meanwhile, politicians like Nancy Pelosi and her husband made their fortunes off of real estate so they have a conflict of interest. I really hope Shahid Buttar unseats her this year. Her, the corporate Democrats and Republicans have no intention of helping the people.
Nonsense. The main reason for the lack of housing is bad zoning laws, not geography. 75 % of the residential land is zoned for single family housing units. This lack of density is the main driver of the homelessness in the region.
And now there is mass migration out of California to surrounding states which are being gentrified with luxury condos and rent is going up to where eventually the whole country will be like LA.
@@MichaelP-ke1tm when every other place fills up every corner of the country will fill up which is why we must protect our national parks and forests because eventually that will be all the greenery we will have left.
There should be a game like "streets of rage"(2D) where you play as Joe Rogan who walks the streets of LA to buy a donuts while beating the shit out of homeless.
I remember living in the San Fernando Valley in the late 70s/early 80s all the great places to go for the day were spread throughout the valley. My family never went downtown. The only time we drove to downtown was to take me to the train station, where I took a train from LA to San Fransisco, dozens of times a year, where my grandmother lived.
I have lived in Los Angeles for 20 years. Every year things have gotten worse. I see things daily I can’t believe. I see people passed out on the streets routinely.
My earliest recollection of homeless tents was in 2001 out in front of the Federal Building downtown. That was stunning enough. Now..I shudder to think, but I won't be back anytime soon.
Whenever I see a jre clip notification on my phone my brain automatically says *the roe jogan experience* in that robot female voice from the intro lmao
I lived in my car (by choice actually) in LA for 2 years...The people that live in cars vs the people that live in tents or on the street are 2 completely different classes of homeless... I had a full time job and a gym membership (for showers, etc.) And chose to live for less money...The homeless on the street were drug addicted and crazy and most couldnt even take care of themselves!! They thought I was living like a king...
i grew up in Alhambra and it breaks my heart seeing how much my city doesn't look the city i grew up with. by the way im only turning 25 this year. this happened really fast.
It's taking over Texas now. Houston is falling apart but our governor won't do anything for it. The fact that more people are running out here is outrageous.
Actually homelessness (before COVID) was dropping in Houston but in Dallas and Austin is rising like crazy cuz a these people from California are moving here and screwing it up
I never considered austin a texas city, its basically little California where the failures flock with their horrible ideas to a place where they can ruin with their horrible ideas. Houston is also being infected with cali thought.
It’s funny that you guys poke fun at AOC when she’s one of the only people in Congress confronting large corporations for exploiting the working class. I forgot that the Right loves to be shills for billionaires though, so I guess it makes sense..
@batty grrl keep voting Democrat. As I live nowhere near LA. Keep all the scum in the same place. As for what happen read some books. I like history books myself.
Yep close Pacific State Hospital and the crazy people make babies with other deranged people. Now we are dealing with them, their children, and grandchildren. I'm a conservative and 69 years old and NEVER like Reagan! PS at 69 I still work at least ten hours a day five days a week setting up cranes, driving heavy equipment, and moving it all with tractor trailers.
We had a young guy in his 20’s, liked by a lot of people, was walking down the sidewalk. A homeless person was walking down the same sidewalk towards him. Not thinking anything of it, he just continued on. But when the homeless guy was about to walk past him, the homeless guy cocked his arm back hit him square in the face. Because he wasn’t anticipating the hit, the young guy didn’t even get an arm up to block. He fell knocked out into the street, and a car ran over his head. Dead. Homeless guy later said he thought the young guy was talking smack about him, which might have been a hallucination. Most homeless people are harmless, but still, it is worth keeping your guard up around them unfortunately
some homeless guy was being loud as he slowly walked past my car, its typical behavior for homeless, I wasnt really paying attention, then i hear him kind of passively yelling things and totally felt him looking at me. He was talking about kicking someones ass for talking smack. He kept saying "you". i ignored it, but they do sometimes confront you with their thoughts.
You know thats really sad but here in San Francisco, several months back we had a young lady who got stabbed in the upper back by a homeless person as she was jogging along the embarcadero in the morning. Here things are different. The homeless mentally ill don't need an excuse and I'm sure the guy is probably out right now wandering the streets. Our DA lets thieves and violent offenders off the hook really easily here.
@Jim I live an hour outside of NYC and I am there pretty often, I had no idea what homelessness is until I went to the west coast. Holy shit. West coast cities make NY look like the city of dreams. Sure there are homeless here and there hanging around in the subway stations, but I have never seen full tent cities under every underpass, human feces on every sidewalk, and used needles practically everywhere until I went to vegas and LA. crazy shit.
@D Legionnaire I just watched the trailer to the film your talking about, I still don't see how this is relevant to the subject we are talking about in the comments but Ok 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😄😄😄😄
Recently went on a trip to LA and honestly it’s probably as horrifying as most of the comments and the video makes it out to be. Now I do think that on my recent trip tents weren’t everywhere but it’s not much better. You still see homeless everywhere. One thing that creeped me out was seeing a homeless crouch right next to a vendor in skid row. It felt odd to see a city that didn’t care for its downtown. The smell of smoke on Venice beach and the people sleeping made it an uncomfortable experience. Only places that were good to see were places like Catalina island, Universal Studios, Malibu, basically places that had their shit together and didn’t allow for any kind of homeless to scare away people. But even then you still saw homeless traveling to and from these places, be it people sleeping in their car, a tent, people roaming around, or them face planted on the floor. Felt like the hood everywhere but even then it felt like it was worse
The reason .... The cost of living has doubled and tripled over the last 20 years and the rate of pay has only grown less than a dollar during the same time. In order to just pay month expenses now it requires 2 people... Unless you have a very high paying job you can't do it alone anymore like you use to be able too.
Well that doesn’t hold true for this case though. California has been gradually raising its minimum wage for awhile now. Even back in 2014 the minimum wage in California was $9 an hour. It’s $12 an hour now
Not exactly... most of the people on the streets aren't there because of salaries or high costs - they're there because they're hooked on drugs or have mental issues. Having said that - you're right, it's way too expensive and the main reason I got the hell out of there when I graduated high school in the 90's.
True, LA native here. Even the smallest apartment is ridiculously expensive. What they failed to mention is that LA’s own citizens have been priced out due to unaffordable housing. You go south to OC it’s just as bad. There’s no where to go except the desert for these people.
@@animedreammachine7123 that's a common problem across all US cities. New Orleans is full of luxury condos that cost 2k+ a month and the people that used to live and work down there in the tourism industry have been literally priced out of the area. America is in decay

@@KunaevNS For tourists, it's a pretty dirty place and the sales tax is over 10%, so the fun isn't that cheap either. The mayor, Eric Garcetti, was also stupid enough to give some of the LAPD's budget to BLM, so don't expect to feel safe either.
@@KunaevNS i live here. the last year has been beyond horrific. you can still do amusement parks etc. when they open. but i wouldn't spend time on the streets in Hollywood etc. it was bad 5 years ago. like they were talking about encampments everywhere w junkies. drove by Woodland hills Marriot today and there's a sizeable encampment right on the side of the hotel. think you'd be happier w another destination.

I cycled across the USA in 2018. Started in New York. Passing through each state was amazing. From Pennsylvania to Tennesee, Arizona to Oklahoma...all that bit unique and incredible. I finished in L.A. and It was not what I was expecting. I saw two homeless people taking a shit in a doorway, one homeless guy casually having a wank in another. The beachfront was cluttered with people trying to hustle you. I had a quick look around Skid Row...that was tough. Tents everywhere, people just sprawled out, acting erratically on every street corner. Honestly, it was a world away from the 98% I had just cycled through. And then the prices...whooooo. Every country has its good & bad sides, and it's not really bothered me as the USA is a beautiful place (I am from Northern England), but its a shame to see it like this. Oh forgot to mention: Last night, staying in a hostel, it got raided by L.A.P.D. We all had to leave the building with our hands above our heads and slowly come out. Police helicopter shining the light down on us. Turns out, one of the guests upstairs was on a mad trip and called LAPD saying he was going to shoot everyone. They found a few guns. True story :)
I just came back from orange county since being hired at the post office and I couldn't believe how many tent cities appeared and to my surprise a few portable toilets at each site.
Right, and when your city leaders enable chaos and charge super high taxes, no developers will feel like taking the huge risk of building affordable housing.

LA is an outdoor toilet long overdue to be emptied. Basically, one Chitty City.
Parts of LA are now more dirtier than villages in india.
I was a kid in the 80's and remember going by Skid Row back then. At that time, the tents were just cardboard boxes. They were there since I can remember, but there weren't as many of them. I have also been there in the last 3 years, and it looks like a city of Mad Max extras.
The "bubble" of 2008 changed all that and now we've hit another one in 2020. You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Other cities are sending them to LA or San Francisco. They are literally paying their bus fare just to get them off those cities.
@@chivoloks28 They are also sending them to small rural California towns, like the one I'm from. Those towns are "out of sight, out of mind", and don't usually have the resources to send them back, or don't care to.

Several years ago my son and I went to downtown L.A. to go to a shop in Little Tokyo. He was 12 at the time. While looking for parking, I turned the street and ended up driving through the heart of skid row. Several men on the street were shouting and attempting to flirt with me. My son looked surprised and said, “Mom, you attract men!” I laughed and was like, “Yeah, homeless ones!” 😂

Maxwell, the joke Ben makes about finding a man lying face down in the gutter simply alludes to Edgar Allen Poe being found delirious in the streets right before the writer's death. The details of why Poe was in such a destitute situation is surrounded in mystery probably not unlike the plot of the first Hangover movie.

@@yoyobones4459 lmaooooo
Sounds like what's been happening in Texas for a while now. Austin has tons of homeless people with all the problems they bring. Other towns in central TX (& even Dallas/Ft. Worth!) have been buying bus tickets to Austin for their homeless & sending them...local governments know once the bums arrive in Austin, they're not likely to return. Austin has too many public services, church-funded pantries, etc. for that... It's called "Greyhound therapy".
Yep. I'm from Bakersfield. This is true.

Need a Led Zepplin remix of "Going to California" retitled "Leaving Califirnia".
It’s a mixture of bad policy, housing prices, migration, and warm weather.
It’s the perfect recipe for mass homelessness
and lots of drugs
hallmonitor98 that’s sort of a byproduct I would say. More of a cultural thing in LA.
I don’t really see homeless in a warm climate as that much of a problem. They are there because that is what they want and I don’t think it’s some terrible existence like most people think. They literally have no bills no problems and the only thing they have to spend money on is drugs. Would they really be that much happier spending their entire day at work to live in a shitty tiny place that is barely better than a tent? They don’t get a job because they are happier without one. Until working all day for minimum wage is way better than just living outside in nice weather with no responsibilities then homeless rates won’t go down.

Highest taxes in the country combined with high costs for goods and rent.
Rent. . .you mean Tents. .
Rent is due to high demand vs supply. Cali needs to clear the bums,crack down on illegals, and block outsiders from moving in. Let people leave, deport the illegals, ban public camping and you are already in a better position.

@@willyafg texas has the second highest number of undocumented immigrants after texas. they play a key role in keeping the economy running.
@@californio1850 a good chunk of the illegals get there and find a way to obtain government assistance and NOT work. They have 12 kids with their wife who will also collect benefits. Drive to any govt housing in LA ... it is all Mexicans that speak zero english.

Check out Ron Paul's response to this. We need to be harder/smarter when it comes to illegals.
And not really high wages.

Then rogan moved to Austin a city full of homeless people
He did it cause he doesn’t want to pay taxes but that still kind of a stupid reason to move to Texas. It’s always hot and their is a crazy homeless problem I’m every major city
It’s impressive how many homeless people there are in Austin. It’s their sanctuary in Texas
@@scottabramo8953 There was a news article a few years back that some states were paying for bus trips for homeless people to these cities. I dont remember of the top of my head how exactly it was worded but it pretty much claimed that some states would just put homeless ppl in a greyhound and shipped them to CA. I have been living in LA for a better part of 11 years now and it was not this bad before, it definitely exploded which leads me to believe the article in question had some validity to it.
@Christina R yeah, which is one of the reasons I get kid of pissed when people say “oh look california is turning into a hell hole because of the homeless, take care of your homeless” and I’m like “...bruh they are not our homeless”. It has grown exponentially the past few years too, it’s definitely not normal as you can see from this video. I would understand if it was 2008 at the peak of the housing crisis but not anymore. I do think the mayors need to do a better job controlling the population though. I read as well that there was an initiative to provide gov housing at some point but not sure how that turned out. Besides, if some of these people are mentally ill, it’s unlikely they would take that out anyway.
Atleast in Houston the homeless would leave you alone. In Austin, they come up and harass you
Nobody talks about how decrepid LA had become especially with our homeless problem the media is virtually silent on it, great to hear someone bring it up
Its fucken depressing to look at just junkies everywhere
the media doesnt talk about it because the homelessness and drug use is symptomatic of democrat policies. They would never point out the obvious and monstrous flaws in the leftist agenda.

Yes, rents have skyrocketed, but that is a separate issue from chronic homelessness.
Southern California weather attracts homeless people. It's just a fact. But Reagan cancelling mental asylums in the 80s without a proper monitored replacement is what brought us to this. That and our drug problem.

California has been on this trajectory since the '70s. It was the state that everyone wanted to move to, and they did. Cali doesn't have that much buildable land as everyone thinks considering its size. Its geography and shape make it very difficult. So eventually, it couldn't keep up with the demand and everything started collapsing. Rent increased, property values soared, wealthy foreigners started buying up property further exasperating the problem. Meanwhile, politicians like Nancy Pelosi and her husband made their fortunes off of real estate so they have a conflict of interest. I really hope Shahid Buttar unseats her this year. Her, the corporate Democrats and Republicans have no intention of helping the people.
Nonsense. The main reason for the lack of housing is bad zoning laws, not geography. 75 % of the residential land is zoned for single family housing units. This lack of density is the main driver of the homelessness in the region.
And now there is mass migration out of California to surrounding states which are being gentrified with luxury condos and rent is going up to where eventually the whole country will be like LA.

We had a young guy in his 20’s, liked by a lot of people, was walking down the sidewalk. A homeless person was walking down the same sidewalk towards him. Not thinking anything of it, he just continued on. But when the homeless guy was about to walk past him, the homeless guy cocked his arm back hit him square in the face. Because he wasn’t anticipating the hit, the young guy didn’t even get an arm up to block. He fell knocked out into the street, and a car ran over his head. Dead. Homeless guy later said he thought the young guy was talking smack about him, which might have been a hallucination. Most homeless people are harmless, but still, it is worth keeping your guard up around them unfortunately
What year did he die
some homeless guy was being loud as he slowly walked past my car, its typical behavior for homeless, I wasnt really paying attention, then i hear him kind of passively yelling things and totally felt him looking at me. He was talking about kicking someones ass for talking smack. He kept saying "you". i ignored it, but they do sometimes confront you with their thoughts.
You know thats really sad but here in San Francisco, several months back we had a young lady who got stabbed in the upper back by a homeless person as she was jogging along the embarcadero in the morning.

Now I do think that on my recent trip tents weren’t everywhere but it’s not much better. You still see homeless everywhere. One thing that creeped me out was seeing a homeless crouch right next to a vendor in skid row. It felt odd to see a city that didn’t care for its downtown. The smell of smoke on Venice beach and the people sleeping made it an uncomfortable experience. Only places that were good to see were places like Catalina island, Universal Studios, Malibu, basically places that had their shit together and didn’t allow for any kind of homeless to scare away people. But even then you still saw homeless traveling to and from these places, be it people sleeping in their car, a tent, people roaming around, or them face planted on the floor. Felt like the hood everywhere but even then it felt like it was worse

The reason .... The cost of living has doubled and tripled over the last 20 years and the rate of pay has only grown less than a dollar during the same time. In order to just pay month expenses now it requires 2 people... Unless you have a very high paying job you can't do it alone anymore like you use to be able too.
Every suburb USA
Rich E don't forget "cost of living" goes up dramatically, especially when Cali's politicians are pro open borders and pro illegal immigration policy.
Well that doesn’t hold true for this case though. California has been gradually raising its minimum wage for awhile now. Even back in 2014 the minimum wage in California was $9 an hour. It’s $12 an hour now
Not exactly... most of the people on the streets aren't there because of salaries or high costs - they're there because they're hooked on drugs or have mental issues. Having said that - you're right, it's way too expensive and the main reason I got the hell out of there when I graduated high school in the 90's.
@@billclevlen7998 u said mental issues, nah not true. Demonic issues! The only way you truly overcome it is spiritually.
Housing prices are insane and wages stay the same it’s set up for failure.
Well somebody has got to pay for all those great democrat government programs...
Toby Thompson haha and the funny thing is idiots like u keep defending the policies and politicians causing this
True, LA native here. Even the smallest apartment is ridiculously expensive. What they failed to mention is that LA’s own citizens have been priced out due to unaffordable housing. You go south to OC it’s just as bad. There’s no where to go except the desert for these people.
@@animedreammachine7123 well said.
@@animedreammachine7123 that's a common problem across all US cities. New Orleans is full of luxury condos that cost 2k+ a month and the people that used to live and work down there in the tourism industry have been literally priced out of the area. America is in decay
I’ve live in L.A. for decades born and raised. It’s definitely unrecognizable now and not in a good way.
Love how Joe says I don’t know when it’s a touchy subject and let’s the guest get the blast. But when it comes to DMT and Aliens he’s and expert.
LA is heartbreaking. I loved living there but had no choice to leave when the quality of living rapidly declined over the past 4 years.
When you say quality of life, could you explain furthermore what you mean? I’m just a curious Canadian who wanted to travel there this summer but couldn’t because of the pandemic. Thank you!
@@KunaevNS more homeless, higher gas prices, higher rents, increasing crime, streets are dirtier, high taxes.
@@KunaevNS For tourists, it's a pretty dirty place and the sales tax is over 10%, so the fun isn't that cheap either. The mayor, Eric Garcetti, was also stupid enough to give some of the LAPD's budget to BLM, so don't expect to feel safe either.
@@KunaevNS i live here. the last year has been beyond horrific. you can still do amusement parks etc. when they open. but i wouldn't spend time on the streets in Hollywood etc. it was bad 5 years ago. like they were talking about encampments everywhere w junkies. drove by Woodland hills Marriot today and there's a sizeable encampment right on the side of the hotel. think you'd be happier w another destination.
Thank you everyone for your input. I am truly sorry about the whole situation.
Bring Alex Jones and Ben on at the same time. That would be something to see lol
Alex is under the table
Fast vs loud 😂 (love them both btw)
I think Alex and Ben would argue tbh.
Ben and Alex don't like each other
@Porsche Boxster Content definitely. Itd be an interesting clash of styles. I dont personally like ben as much as alex but they both have their flashes of brilliance along with low points. Alex's are much worse though.
Born in LA, left in 1981, best decision I ever made, saw all of this coming even back then.
I cycled across the USA in 2018. Started in New York. Passing through each state was amazing. From Pennsylvania to Tennesee, Arizona to Oklahoma...all that bit unique and incredible. I finished in L.A. and It was not what I was expecting. I saw two homeless people taking a shit in a doorway, one homeless guy casually having a wank in another. The beachfront was cluttered with people trying to hustle you. I had a quick look around Skid Row...that was tough. Tents everywhere, people just sprawled out, acting erratically on every street corner. Honestly, it was a world away from the 98% I had just cycled through. And then the prices...whooooo. Every country has its good & bad sides, and it's not really bothered me as the USA is a beautiful place (I am from Northern England), but its a shame to see it like this. Oh forgot to mention: Last night, staying in a hostel, it got raided by L.A.P.D. We all had to leave the building with our hands above our heads and slowly come out. Police helicopter shining the light down on us. Turns out, one of the guests upstairs was on a mad trip and called LAPD saying he was going to shoot everyone. They found a few guns. True story :)
Joe "there were bums in my face 24/7" Rogan
My favorite Joe Rogan moment
😂 😂 czcams.com/video/yVcd6YbSgBA/video.html
This guy's morning routine is three tall Lattes and a can of Helium.
🤣
His voice is hella irritating
Don't forget liberal tears
Sai tama *Leftist tears. They’re more nutritious
Someone tell me the name of that donut shops though
Sounds a bit like Hamburg except is not so big right now.
“I saw a guy lying face down in the gutter like Edgar Allan Poe”
(Lmao) 🤣
(That line got me)
I don't get it
Help me out
L.A. is sliding downhill more than the cushion on Joe’s headphones lol
I just came back from orange county since being hired at the post office and I couldn't believe how many tent cities appeared and to my surprise a few portable toilets at each site.
"Facedown in the gutter like Edgar Allen Poe" was a funny line, especially coming from lil Benny Shapiro.
I'm taking the family camping in the streets of LA
Mr Splitfoot make sure it’s under a freeway overpass so you get to use the convenient porta potty’s.
God help you.
The true democrat immersion camp experience
Bring a firearm
When housing becomes unattainable to the working class, homelessness is inevitable.
It's like they've never played a good city building game...... Unless they're playing Tropico, then we are fucked.
It's as simple as that.
Right, and when your city leaders enable chaos and charge super high taxes, no developers will feel like taking the huge risk of building affordable housing.
Whats worse is that they arent even working.
Nanny State NoNo's
Rogan is conservative as hell, he only panders to liberal and progressive political groups, but he’s constantly having hate-spewing conservatives on his show: Alex Jones, Candice Patton, Colin Noir, Ben Shapiro. Fuckin Roseanne Barr? GTFOH
When has he had Angela Davis on his show? Or any other intelligent, self-affirming and self-loving Black Woman?
Never. Because he and most of his listeners (cis white males) have no use for strong, empowered, intelligent black women.
