The Walking Dead Skid Row Homeless Encampments Downtown Los Angeles, walk with me thru the heart of skid row with people walking aimless down the streets, similar to the walking dead. Trash everywhere but no government officials to be seen. Rats are everywhere and come out of the drains and are spreading disease here to include bubonic plague. The Homeless Problem in America is now in most metropolitan areas and look no further than Hollywood, Burbank, Sun Valley Downtown and now expanding east and west. Sacramento, San Francisco all Major Cities in California are inflicted with this disease.
As a former law enforcement officer, I always took the time to know the homeless in the areas I patroled. These are the facts : Homlessness is a spectrum disorder, some are homeless due to financial issues, others drugs. However, many of the ones I evaluated did not get on drugs until they became homeless. Many have mental issues and are not able to hold any kind of job. There is a solution to this problem and that is to hire social workers to evaluate these people on an individual basis. It can only be solved on an individual basis. But since we live in an "All or None" society, its not likely this will ever happen.
Great point easy access to drugs here and no law enforcement will stop them from dealing. Cars come thru at night buying and selling. Shame on my government for turning a blind eye.
The answer is simple ....legalize drugs with medical supervision....provide mental health oversight and services and build housing that is affordable. Train for simple jobs etc. Handing out food,harassing ,arresting and trying to move them can't work. There will always be a percentage that stay on the streets but many can be reintegrated into society.
When the law 'selectively' enforced society collapses. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW to live on a sidewalk in the middle of a city and there are fines and punishments and, following arrests, social services and mental health agencies etc. to intervene but FIRST the LAW must be above all or we will fall apart swiftly.
And I think your approach is exactly the wrong way to go about it. That's what they've been attempting to do is solve the homeless problem on an individual basis and it obviously hasn't worked and never will. It needs a systematic approach that the Federal Government needs to step in and apply, not trying to solve it on a one on one basis or thinking that charities or the private sector can solve it. There needs to be a Department of Homelessness just like the U.S. has a Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense.
First, set up an area of x square miles in the desert (like slab city). Fence it in. Then go on a massive sweep of the cities streets. If people can leave the streets on their own, ok. If not, they are taken to the desert 'cities' where they can manage themselves, just like they do on the streets. Let them govern their own, and police their own. Charities can visit them, food, clothing, medical and such. City provides potties and trash pickup. Done. You can live like that if you want to, just ain't gonna happen in the city. Other options for the non addicts, help with legit housing and jobs and education, and help getting into the Peace Corps, or the Military or Community College. "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" Last Call. Clean up the streets, and then zero tolerance after that.
Im fijian and watching this vedio reminds me of how lucky iam and appreciate life and appreciate that im not homeless . Im praying that God give you peace
I live in the real world and KNOW how many abused and abandoned spouses and children there are for each of these 'poor homeless'. How many victims of violence and the many thousands of crimes they have committed, how they ruin the lives and neighborhoods of those who scrupulously obey the rules and laws. Not to mention the entire families who have bankrupted themselves on rehab programs that NEVER EVER really work.
The contrast between the high-rise buildings and the tents tells the story.A tale of two cities.
Except in "A Tale of Two Cities", the homeless poor were the majority. Today, if the globalists and CIA loose control, and society collapses, it will collapse on top of the minorities. Always has, always will.
I live in downtown. I describe it as "the wealthy in their ivory towers, the zombie apocalypse of homeless and the rest of us on the knife edge in between." 12 years ago, I moved into an old hotel that was renovated into practical microflats. Due to rent control, I have golden handcuffs and can't afford to move elsewhere.
Ruthless capitalism has nothing to do with it.
@@myoldvhstapes The value of ANY Society is measured best at it's lowest levels.

Exactly
Not for long. It's only a matter of time before the rich have their homes looted and burned to the ground. I'm not saying I want that to happen; it's the logical conclusion of where this is going. When the majority of America is homeless there will be civil war. And the rich & famous won't be able to hide.
@@joeanon5788 love it
Went out with some friends in DTLA 2 weeks ago was pouring rain that night and I saw a man soaking wet from head to toe,talking to himself with thick mucus dripping from both nostrils. The sight both shocked and saddened me. Even today,I can’t seem to forget the look in that man’s eyes, such despair I cannot describe. I don’t know why he had such a profound effect on me but I still think of him 💔Would just like to thank you for channel bringing awareness
Thank You
They bring this on THEMSELVES.
@@kenprice1961 you’re ignorant
I've been living here in Mexico for years which most Americans think is a really impoverished country and I don't see hardly any homeless people here, let alone homeless encampments.
I agree. I've been there. Lots of poverty but no homelessness like here in LA.
Because family takes care of family and they live within their means with less stuff and less pressure over being poor. I live in MX now too....and have ex-patted in many dirt poor Asian countries ....little homelessness or drug addiction there either.Communities also police themselves in most places and individual charity is practiced rather than donating to wealthy organizations
Homeless people were all STOLEN by demons and demonic fiends from their LIFE. They use them as STORAGE for stolen souls, as vehicles and as karmic weapons against people. They are possess by demons!
Demons use drugs and alcohol to mask their existence. People will blame drugs or mental health, but it’s really demonic creatures that took over the body!
There is rampant homelessness in Mexico, especially in DF. What tf are you talking about?!
@@mlkljmh I've been living here in Cuernavaca Morelos for many years and there's no homeless encampments here with hundreds of tents everywhere like in S.F. and Portland Oregon for example. Obviously D.F. has some homeless, it's one of the largest cities in the world with over 20 million people. But no huge homeless encampments there and I'm here and if you're there in Mexico City send me some videos of it.
I'm glad people from other countries see this, so they can tell their nations it's not all paradise and roses here!
The UK knows about it, we're the same!
@@clairefitzpatrick7183 Which cities in the UK are like LA? And please don't say London. I live there, and while we have problems, we don't have huge shanty towns like this. Even with our short supply of housing, there are no cities in the UK with these huge problems.
Don't keep them out
We don't understand this here in Europe... How is this even possible? And how it continues? There r even Portable WC's...This is pure madness!
Just call fireman and police to wash out all this nonsense.

I am born and raised in LA and in a thousand years I never would have imagined this beautiful city getting like this. Unbelievable 😪😭
I was there in the 90s. San Fernando valley was okay but I would not get out of my car elsewhere. I believe it.
How long ago were you born because ive know it to be this way since like 90's
@@ihatetweakers8785 I was born in 1964 and raised primarily in Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley. As a child I remember orange groves and unpaved sidewalks in SF. We would go to Santa Monica or Venice Beach, San Diego or Big Bear on vacations. We'd play outside from sun up to sun down on bikes or skateboards. It was lovely and idyllic. There were pockets of super bad areas and I also lived in them, where gun shots and police helicopters were my nightly lullabies. I left in '92 after the riots burned down my neighborhood and fled to meth'd out Barstow, later Hesperia and now Victorville. So many people being paroled up here from down below, we are slowly becoming a copy of Compton.
@@AliciaM5555 yeah, no offense but California is a shit hole nowdays
@@ihatetweakers8785 oh I so know!!!!! 😢
We closed down all
the big mental asylums and this is where they went. Crazy.
You are absolutely right on point.
How soon given the escalating cost of food will these charities run out of donations? There's way too many working families struggling to make ends meet.
Food banks are running low all ready.
Not soon enough. Feed them and they will come.
That’s a fact. It’s going to be so bad we will look back on these days as good…
Hollywood Elites are only miles away and they do nothing to help!😂
Governments won't do nothing about it neither on this crisis.
This is NOT new in L.A. I remember arriving there in 1986. I had to live in that area for a week in a hotel. I kept my head down, got a job as quickly as possible and got the hell out of there.
Didn't go back there for 30 years. The encampment has grown. So very sad.
Hotel name cecil?
@@VanHalen43 That one or the Roosevelt. Two or three blocks down from the old greyhound. Scary. I was so young and naive.
They are Africans.
As a non American, I can tell you that most of us probably view the US ( California in particular) as a 90210 kind of place, because that’s what we see on TV. So this shit is SHOCKING!!!
It’s sad it’s come to this!
@@walkingtourseurope8526 capitalism always ends there. it's only matter of time.
@@walkingtourseurope8526 it's the last stage of capitalism, btw. you cannot borrow money out of nothing forever.
Yeah ain't it great...you think the USA is the land of the free and the home of the brave paradise when in reality has become a human wasteland... literally.
This is AmeriKKKan CAPITALISM on steroids, also the porn industry, Only Fans industry has destroyed a generation of young women+men---CAPITALISM BABY!!! I been in Cali for +20yrs, it was a slum then it is faaar more a slum now, btw Cali was RepubliKKKan back then.
Bronx homeless person here, I live in NY where we have a homeless crisis. It's mostly drugs. Hard drugs these days are cheaper than food. I can get fentanyl and heroin, enough to kill 10 people for ten dollars just by walking down the street and going to the corner. We are all morbidly depressed and stuck in a nasty cycle were we cant function without chemicals, but those very same chemicals are whats holding us back. It's like having severe back pain and the only thing that can fix it is whacking yourself in the back until it doesn't hurt anymore. Happy to answer any questions for those that are curious. I want to spread awareness
You are Very Brave I hope people listen to this. Our drugs are pouring in from Mexico this is our real enemy along with our Government
Wow just like what San Francisco does on letting the homeless hit up on drugs on the streets and the police do nothing about it.
@@walkingtourseurope8526 and they’re jus getting warmed up… its going to keep escalating
I've been homeless in Sacramento for a few years never did drugs my daughter just turned 7 she has down syndrome. You'd think the state would help parents with special needs kids but they don't. They will be the first to take your kids though.
@@janellcrews6108 I would think they would help since being in the U.S. as compared to other countries around the world are poor in certain services since being the most powerful nation in the world. As it's going down hill as the signs are really showing how weak it is when solving certain little problems like that of special needs, homeless, crime, abortion, gun laws, drugs, crime, poverty, education, health care, taxes, services, government help, welfare, disability, retirement, housing crisis, land, jobs, infrastructure, city high rise, laws, regulations, administration's, immigration, race, color, sex, religion, rights, political, financial, and so much more to solve the governments and authorities are weak in these areas to fix any man made problems in the world as it goes world wide scale.
Bless that women who was offering you food ❤
I used to work for Ma Bell in that area as a walking technician 45 years ago. The worst that would happen would be a bum trying to steal your lunch.
Look at how much we have regressed. So much for progress.
And having to listen to how people needed gas money
that's what comes when "progressives" have unbridled power
Liberal America built what Skid Row is today. I grew up not far from there. I too, know how much it had changed (for the worse).
I thought homelessness in the UK was bad, this is on another level. So terribly sad that human beings are reduced to this.
homelessness in the UK is nothing like this. I lived in Birmingham for many years, and you'd see some homeless people on the streets, outside shops etc but I never once saw an encampment or tents being pitched up. I'm sure they go to dedicated shelters at night. its on a different scale in America...
Kensington Phillidelphea is the same...it might actually be worse because of the weather. Our country is failing its people. Being American is embarrassing.
So let me ask y’all this question we all know the effects but what is the cause of this it’s not because people are lazy or because they don’t wanna work or because they just wanna be living outside on the street and I know sone of u mite say o they just lost there homes mmmm probably but it’s really because of the government funding programs food stamps social security financial aid subsidize housing government grants government loans government scholarships all of these government benefits look at them handing out school baggy lunches to them like they still in fucking grade school or high school 🤔🤣i mean what the fuck this government either wants u bussing your buy off at a w2 job paying high taxes to they can apply sanctions to your ass to limit your growth income and success as an individual and don’t worry u get poor out dated services in return and cheap labor with fake materials and weak infrastructure with the houses and apartment buildings or they want u living off of government benefits which u still have to deal with the same poor services no wonder why Denmark is prosperous Singapore Sweden Switzerland do y’all know in Denmark they don’t even have no dam minimum wage why do America do because our government want us to be poor and to stay like that they don’t create prosperity only poverty look at our work force it’s weak as shit filled with nothing but retail in store and cashier stadium house keeper janitorial warehouse jobs all physically demanding doing repetitive tasks the entire day not helping u develop a new nor current skills I mean honestly it doesn’t surprise me that this country is turning into shit bit what really pisses me off is how dumb everyone in America is I’m the only mother fucker who actually states what cause the problem and what’s really going on out of everyone I always hear everyone say the same exact thing i know everyone have there opinion but it’s irrelevant the real problem is what I just said I’ve had it with everyone acting passive about reality pull y’all head from out of yall asses please and wake up it’s 2023
When it's drugs they are reducing themselves. The victims here are the residents and businesses in those neighborhoods that are now ruined. This is what happens when leftists run things. Weak drug and crime laws and acceptance of this shit.
@@MandieeeeJo No reason to be embarrassed if you voted republican. This is not our doing. Here and the ultra blue west coast are the worst by far and it's because the laws favor this shit. OR possession of hard drugs is legal. CA you don't get arrested for stealing less than $950. There is no 3 strikes law for it so you just keep getting summons. No cash bail if you are arrested. They don't do shit about the homeless, once in a while they'll sweep them out of one underpass but they'll be back. You can literally wake up on Hollywood blvd, shit, steal to buy drugs, shoot up on the street with state provided syringes all day, pass out and repeat again everyday. This doesn't help them and it's ruining CA and other states. If you voted democrat, I'd find a very tall building. YOU have ruined our country.
Seing so many people living this way in the 21st century is heart breaking. Tents all over the sidewalk as far as the eye can see.
Amazing, especially when we ship billions and billions of dollars over seas. These people are trash to the politicians whom are in control of this district and they obviously don't care.
Where exactly do you so called ship the money? SMH 🙈
@@kyra_from_kerkyra Figure of speech but your a BOT so you wouldn't understand therefore I understand. 🤖
Well, I don‘t think these people don’t get any money or support because - as you put it - it get‘s „shipped over seas“. They wouldn’t get it, if it stayed in the USA. Because that would mean having a social security system, and US-politics (and society?) are not interested in this at all.
If history is teaching us something, it‘s that revolutions always happen at some point, when there are too many hopelessly poor people with absolutely nothing to lose, and only a few very rich who benefit from the system.
I would go Down Town on the bus 🚌 in the 70 , boy has it changed from a beautiful city to this .. i’m scared 😳 to go any close to it ..
Nightmare!!!!!!👿
It's really become quite the tourist attraction for foreigners coming to visit the U.S. Right up there with Disneyland and the Hollywood sign and Walk of Fame.
I grew up in California in the 60s and 70s it was paradise!
I visited there then several times. No plans to go back, though. I'll keep my memories.
@@33Donner77 definitely do not return. I grew up there in the 80s and the 90s, part of the early 2000s, lived elsewhere and came back in the 2010s. It’s a disaster. I left for good in 2018.
Such a wonderfully vibrant community. Tirelessly working to better themselves and those around them. Always willing to give to their fellow man in need. Their hard work and devotion to educational achievement are unparalleled and are envied by all. This nation is truly blessed by their presence. Our society would crumble without their guiding hand.
Mental health workers needed. These people need to find Hope in recovery. So sad to watch.😔
I remember as a little girl lovingbto go to downtown LA on Sundays
Ride the street car
It used to be nice and safe
Department stores with door men and men in uniform running the ekevator. When entering, would say hat floor we wanted.
Arrivng at floor, elevator man would announce the floor
Those were the days
Something nice to remember
As a young teenager I always wanted to live in Los Angeles or in the stated general, now I am very happy I live in an country like Switzerland. Fr it’s so sickening seeing this
Yes that’s great!
Stay in Switzerland. You're not missing out on much.
Me too. US-TV shows gave me wrong ideas about how life was there...
The price of housing is killing the American image. Too bad corporate America and politicians are helping in it's decline.
Yes, I was there. I remember seeing needle park with all the drug addicts.
Reminiscent of the Hoovervilles in the Great Depression. But back then there seemed to be a collective will to do something about the situation (from either inside or outside the camps). Now they just seem to grow and grow. It's heartbreaking to see America like this.
It’s now expanding faster than they can stop it. Clean one area and it comes right back again only bigger. Very dangerous game Los Angeles is playing.
Smoking heroin is doing something.
Yes you are right this is like a mordern day Great Depression i thought that also.
When I was a kid, tents on the sidewalk meant but one thing ...street fair! Oh boy, how times have changed.
Это деградация вашего общества. Это дикий капитализм.
Skid row looks surprisingly clean, well established and orderly for a typical homeless area of an American city. In Louisville Ky the homeless are a lot more messed up looking.
In la and sand Fransisco they pay people to clean the streets. They clean with fire hoses to clean the poop up from the sidewalk
Our homeless are better than your homeless. Neener neener neener.
@@ahuramazda980 feels like a comparison lol
I pray for all these people ❤
I just realized, Hollywood could film a Zombie Horror movie here, and people would think it was just a documentary....
With all the fences and such it really feels like it’s evolving into that Star Trek episode with the “sanctuary districts” where the lock away the “undesireables”
Yes indeed!
I saw a homeless man in Toronto one day crossing the street, (we are having the same issues up here! I believe all of the West is in decline) and he had no shoes and its was cold. Infact he only had boxers and a tshirt, it was early spring, so still very much winter like without the snow. He looked so hopeless and in DESPAIR, he disappeared and people ignored him. It was horrible. I feel like SOME homeless kind of remind me of war veterans who are mentally scarred they have lost their minds. that they crossed a invisible line & some can't come back. Its kind of evil.
Well said , if a politician cared like you it could be fixed but a politician would step on someone button get ahead, there is no accountability in our local government. California is broken.
Psst wanna know something funny? You didn't do shit either.
Simply unbelievable how the people live. Very very sad.
What’s interesting to me is the music they’re listening to is both soulful and bittersweet. The clash between a tragic setting, with uplifting sounds all around.
I usually watch docu-series about Kensington Philadelphia. The first thing that came to mind was, "what are all of these young white girls doing down there. " then I realized that drug addiction knows no racial or sexual preference. People who are on the street in Kensington are mostly victims of drug abuse. Then when I see the situation in Los Angeles I see a much larger problem but it is mostly a true homeless problem and not mainly drug related.
The group of ladies at the beginning of the video are feeding people.
andrew, i watch kensington also!!! i'm in deep south, close to coast, small town. i'm usually horrified by all that mess. i hate it for those people though. God bless'em.
Phoenix and Vegas videos as well
The east coast has always used much harder drugs than LA.
The abandon structures in the mid-west and the south could be homes for the homeless that fill the inner-cities with a little fixing up.
Once your homeless in L A it's hard to get out, even if a homeless person find a job they never can afford to rent a place. There are people working in silicon Valley living in 5 star camper vans because they can't even afford rent prices. Best thing is help with their problems and then help them set up in another city. Look at all the people moving to TEXAS
I would move off grid but they. Any get drugs off grid
Can't wait to take my family there on vacation. How beautiful.............
If you take them not at night it’s creepy
😂😂😂!
If you see a bunch of Zombies run for your life. 😃
Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
Everything about the homeless people and their situation in America, is just so crazy. I think everyone understands that? So much money spent by government, either wrongly or wastefully, while these poor people suffer.
We try and give all our tax money to other countries Government tries so hard to waste what’s not theirs to waste.
What countries are you giving money? Not truth.
Seems to me there’s a range of homeless situations. And unfortunately there’s a proportion of people who either can’t or won’t ever escape their situation.
Maybe there’s a triage approach needed that focuses on those that can be helped - and yes, this means some would be left behind to addictions and circumstance.
If one listens to the wrong kind of music, he will become the wrong kind of person.

Awesome Video. Another of many good reasons to b wary of Gavin!!!
Yes and he’s related to Pelosi! Let these videos be a record if he runs for higher office!!
The new compassion shown by woke politicians is to rename "the homeless" to "the unsheltered"....that should help !
How lovely seeing human beings strewn about the sidewalks with the street trash. People don't even know if they're stepping over trash or human beings! Are we human beings or are we trash? Do we even know the difference by now?
I'd have to walk to the Freeway and step out in front of an 18 wheeler before I'd live like that..
I here you there. What a life.
It seems like the areas where people have been out there for years and have big tents and portable gazebos are much more organised and cleaner than the streets with small tents and a tonne of trash…
I wonder if they have a hierarchy where you can’t go pitch a tent just anywhere…
The American dream in full effect.
and a few miles away, people live in $100 Million Mansions! L.A. is crazy 😩
Even closer like 1 mile away

U can THANK all the GREEDY LANDLORDS for what's happened with the homeless situation-
True and big business and corporations as well that say they will do something about it before politicians and governments and votes can do a nothing about and on both sides never gets done about it to clean up the mess. As there is bad sanitation and dirty streets for more increases of diseases and plagues to go around on people and needles and so much more like if the pandemic was never over.
Excuse making fool
@Donnell0303 yea, you're right, but greed does have a bit to do with it as well- What are there, Approximately 1000+ available homeless housing units that are not available in Los Angeles and surrounding communities, but in order to enter one, you must pass a DRUG TEST?? these IDIOTS would rather stay strung out on their various addictions rather than get clean and turn their lives around
NOW available, sorry
@@stevebigansky9372seemingly reasonable.
This is truly insane. On any given day, In any given car, There is prob millionaires, maybe a billlionaire or two who is driving within 10mtrs of this. Its just mind boggling
All big cities are getting pretty bad. I live in CA and many off ramps and on ramps to major highways and freeways are like mini tent cities, very close to private homes, shopping centers, schools.
As a Canadian here, only option left is forcing them to move just send them out to a dessert in Cali lol ! I’ve been to LA on Vacation back in 2012 and it was GREAT !!!!!! Literally drag them out of their tents. Clean up LA

I'm homeless and drowning in debt with multiple car problems despite working and not doing drugs. Covid destroyed my life and nobody can seem to help me.
@Donnell Okafor I already reached out for help from everyone I know before I became homeless. I don't have any friends or family capable of helping me.
@Donnell Okafor I'm stuck in Los Angeles. I've been here in California my entire life and have nowhere else to go.

God Bless Yall
Damn almost every fence got spikes and barbed wire on it
It's disgusting that this place looks way worse than here in Mexico where poverty is a major theme. People here in Mexico have more or less their priorities in order, sure there's drugs here but homelessness is rarely a thing here.
Bet those porta pottys are rank inside!!
If they work
Looks good we’re on the right track
GREAT job mayor!!!!!!!!
The worse part is that alot of these people do not want help. They want to live like this. I use to go on volunteer groups with my dad to pass out supplies for the homeless and we were always greeted with anger. They wanted to be left alone and didnt want our help. They just wanted cash. So they can fuel their addictions. A few would take our supplies and thank us but alot did not want anything to do with us. Alot of these people work the system to live off ebt and other goverment incomes so they can continue their addiction or just dont want to work. A local homeless man near my job says he just likes living out in the trees near the riverbed he doesnt wanna pay taxes or anything so he chose to live like this though he doesnt agree with the drug abuse other homeless in the area take part in
You’re viewing this entire situation from a privileged stand point.
Looks very homey! A Community!
I serve at The Fred Jordan Mission on the corner of Towne Ave & 5th , should have stopped by
Well. Everybody knows what colours to wear. That’s for sure. First thing I noticed. 🇨🇦
I visited Los Angeles as a tourist in 2009. I remember it as a really nice place, and don't recall seeing any homeless people then. What is depicted here looks like a post-apocalyptic dystopian nightmare. Can it really have fallen apart in so short a time?
Not surprising, factories closed, no jobs, drugs, homelessness, as result
It's Skid Row. It's a very tiny area.
It’s spread throughout la and west all cities have tent cities now.
@@BabyOlegis it like Kensington with the drugs? Not seeing as much obviously faded people. But someone has to be supplying these people with drugs
Depends in with area of the city you are in. But in the meantime, this can hardly be overlooked.
Awesome intro love the music well done.
Seriously how can people live like this and why do so many people in America/California accept this?
No offence but i'm so glad and blessed for not living in the Divided States of America the so called land of the free once again no offence.
Other than that a great video keep up the great work👍

It’s heartbreaking.
Our elected officials work near by in high rises and see everything but they are comfortable with this.
This is Freedom.
It is like that because the city of Los Angeles allowed it. It is a way of living. I just wish the missions scrub their sidewalks and pick up the trash. It is bad for the people living in the hotels run by skid row housing trust and SRO. Living in the area is just hard to overcoming drug addiction. It is impossible even though they are so many resources in the area. There are thousands of drug dealers in the area.
This is no joke guys, check out the documentary " South Park Homeless Zombies".
From now on, whatever crappy place im in, ill think, at least I'm not it that place. Nice work!
Thanks!
Just another beautiful 🤩 day in LA …..Got to love ❤️ it 😂
It’s a shame!!!!!
That poor little dog at the end needs to be rescued, I could not leave it there in that conditioned.

Total failure of leadership
what do you expect the government to do, put them up in high rise apartments for free?
@@royharper2003 The source of this is drugs . The gov can stop most of it at the border and make manufacturing fentanyl and meth , or importing cocaine mandatory life sentences. This is all a result of corruption at the highest levels
i literally became sick watching this. Like i became nauseous and lightheaded. I could not imagine living like this. Bless these people god and watch over them!
I feel the same when I tape walking thru here.
Word on the streets, if you are homeless and like to use drugs California is the place to be. All basic needs provided and laws are not enforced. 💯💯
Thank God I QUIT ACTING before moving to Los Angeles!!!
Skid Row looks like Paradise compared to Kensington, PA.
California gives 40 thousand dollars for each homeless person. Kensington gets nouthing.
Sadly, street homeless will destroy any housing you put them in because they are fentanyl addicts. Today's synthetic drugs are nasty. Forget heroin and cocaine. Now, they are addicted to cocktail of synthetic chemicals such as fentanyl, sedative benzo, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, rat poison, P2P based meth, wasp dope, etc. Synthetic drugs are now hundreds of times stronger and more destructive than just 10 years ago, and humans are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. Street homeless steal from local stores. They steal items such as tools, baby and hygiene products, and sell for one or two fentanyl pills. That's how they support their addiction, and they call it boosting.
Yeah I don’t think paradise is the right word I think there both like 3 rd world shit holes . Should put the fuckers to work n pay them in smack n food
That’s because it’s always summer time at Skid Row..
Ya right..
It's sad but I refuse to go to California any more.....
It's uncomfortable perhaps?
This is the true Los Angeles, not the one you see in movies.
true this is the real la not fake minority rich beverly hills 1 percent this is the real la europe is much better im grateful i live in europe
Congratulations on the new powerball winner
Mega cities. Mega problems. Really sad to see LA degrade like that.
This is the city-- Los Angeles, California. It's a big city and a lot of money can be made here. The great majority spend their time working hard to support themselves and their families. There's a small minority who spend their time thinking up ways to separate these people from their hard-earned pay.
You are braver than I am. I could never do this.
do they commandeer the porta potties as homes, too? Didnt see anyone going in or out of them.
There should be treatment centers at every corner,seriously.
There has to be some help avalible...
Fucking hard times
Jails make great treatment centers
do they want help?
@@triggeredeasily6053 Hard to believe that help is unavailable for someone really looking for it. People lounging are probably not seeking it as hard as they should. But I really don't know for sure
Mentally ill people, in a society that celebrates mental illness.

Think of these people being housed and they pile up garbage in the apartments like this !
6:53 🤔 we all going to ignore the dude at the 🏧 looking like, 🆘
Where are we putting the 2,000,000 border crossers this year ???
They should be shown videos of all places like this in America.
It’s probably more like 10-15 million!
youre gonna give up what you thought was yours and move along. simple.
I bet ewe never said this when millions were coming in during tRump. Or every year for decades before that. The Republican
Ronald Reagans fix was the Dream Act where he made millions of illegals, legal with the stroke of a pen.
I can only imagine the misery when they get another 3 to 8 inches of rain!
They are pretty well covered with tarps and the good news is rain washes the dirty street and the smell. In fact I’ve never seen a street cleaning machine on skid row.

True in which is so sad for them to be out their like animals.
A year or two ago I called my cousin who stayed in the Park view suburb of Los Angeles ( city of Lost Angels ) in Los Angeles county about a nearby wildfire northwest of him which he could see. But first I searched on my Smartphone and I was directed to the daily skid row fires which many times the helpless hopeless homeless people or the tenement tenants and residents set owners set to collect insurance $$$.😮😮😮
I believe that !
wildfire northeast ( not northwest ) of him...set or owners set..
Unbelievable what my hometown has grown up to be ! I am born and raised In L.A. Echo Park area walked to Dodgers Stadium to catch games. This is what Government leadership looks like.
Truely a complete deraliction of duty by local government. It’s taken shaming them to get results but it’s only getting cleaned because election is coming. We have affirmative action mayors being put in place who have no clue on how to run a government. We need private sector leaders who can keep an eye on the funds allocated for homeless projects.
Poor people pray for you all.
