- Beverly Hills is a city in California's Los Angeles. that used to have the upscale shopping street of Rodeo Drive. but now it has been reduced to back to back vacant storefronts due to street conditions and online shopping.
In this video. I am walking in Santa Monica Blvd and rodeo drive to unveil its current condition

Hollywood used to make loads of disaster movies...now America has manifested into one.❗️
Isn’t that the truth
Hollywood is a disaster now…
USA maybe should now be called "Used to be".
You nailed it!
Europe too my friend. We're doomed.
Almost sold my house on Miami Beach and moved to LA in 2010 but plans fell thru. Was so sad at the time since it seemed like a done deal. In hindsight...not getting what we think we want can be a blessing in disguise.
Really is a blessing LA is a pretty bad place to live. Rejection is God's protection. 💯

Corners are the most desirable locations. All those closed corners really spells disaster for the area.

Luckily, LA is a Democrat utopia so dealing and escorting will improve without all those stores in the way!!! #WINNING

Agree. My family has been in the SF Bay Area since the 1920s. I was born and raised there. I left two years ago with my 2 daughters and grandson and moved to the panhandle of Florida. I’m 60 and so grateful I lived most of my life in California when it was beautiful.

Do not demonstrate your small mind. it doesn't make you look good.
Someone with balls, cash and some brains.
The state is working hard every minute to sabotage every small business.........
Because small business is the backbone of America's economy...if they eliminate small business..then we all eventually would have to rely on the Government....or ourselves and God
Remember in 2020 if you said that you were a right-wing conspiracy theorist
Yes, some of those building might make some pretty cool loft housing. At the right price or rents, young people would move back. Then the restaurants would follow. With enough capital and some tax incentives, you can gentrify even the most run-down area.

Opening soon signs are a realtors trick. Gives the impression the area is desirable and businesses returning.
That’s what I thought
I was wondering if the “leashed” signs are the same gimmick?
the only thing "OPENING SOON" is the property owners wallet paying their City tax bill.
Malls do the same thing. They use decorative temporary walls to block the view of entire sections of the mall that's empty.
Notice in the rich areas not one of the closed buildings are vanadlized or covered in graffiti ? Money buys better policing in Beverley Hills .

Retail apocalypse has hit the upscale stores. The "shopping experience" is no more. Gone now! The "leased" signs are lies. No one is "coming soon." Thank you, Metal Leo -- you are doing an amazing job. Keep it up.
the slave factories making 1899 dollar wallets is over, oh no say it isnt so.
Retail apocalypse...well put.
Retailers are going out of business as tourists are either poorer or just buy on the Internet. Local rich people are max 5% of retailers turnover.
That is shocking! Never realised the "rich" areas were descending into ghost towns.

They are not. Retailers are going out of business as tourists are either poorer or just buy on the Internet.
@@geng8667 Seems like almost of them are basketball players. I wonder if anyone will notice this in the mainstream media?
The thought came to me that perhaps many of those businesses packed up to avoid the overwhelming potential of being the next victims of a smash and grab.
Crime is on the rise…
Retailers getting insured there was likely finacacially impossible the last few years. Especially after kamala helped get that $950 ZERO CHARGES shoplifting law thru.
They were being robbed non stop. I heard the rents also went up to the moon.
The working class is justified in repossessing bourgeois wealth, since it was stolen from the hands of the working class in the first place.

Not just Covid but the derelicts that have taken over Venice Beach. Just watch all the videos of the city doing their public washroom sweeps
From the UK here and i hear from others when travelling to the US they are treated like criminals by customs officials.

I like the good family orientated Americans of the past, the modern woke type are fuining your country
@@EMPI75 Just don’t travel to these woke cities. The US is a massive country with so much more to us than these doomed, woke, fallen cities. Our National Parks, for instance, offer sights you can’t see anywhere else in the world and are free of the crime. There are other cities here that aren’t woke, too. Florida has many to choose from, Branson Missouri is a fabulous choice for families. People think the only thing America is is LA and NYC. They’re but 2 teeny dots on our huge, great country! If you want to know if the area is safe or not to travel to, just overlay the Biden vs Trump voting record map, lol. You’ll see how small those blue dots truly are and how much America has left to offer free of the woke rot. Go anywhere else in the country and you’ll see how much LA and NYC do not represent or speak for the rest of the country.

So sad. I remember going to Rodeo Drive with my family as a trip back in the 80s when I was a kid, and the streets were practically paved with gold, with all the fancy stores and luxury cars everywhere. What a distant and faded memory…

Thank you for posting these videos. I have lived in Davis, CA for the past fifty years. The current CA retail store depression reminds me of the CA retail recession in the early 1980s. The difference between the two periods is that the US mainstream media reported on the recession in the early 1980s. The US mainstream media is not reporting on the current retail recession in CA. You are doing a public service by posting these videos on the collapse of the retail sector in CA cities. Thank you.
As long as we know who P Diddy is screwing and who won the battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake who cares 🤔
Actually it is overblown. Retail industry is dying trend, it has nothing to do with rich neighborhoods as locals are max 5% of retail turnover. Wrong message

Many of these commercial, office buildings are going into foreclosure, tax seizure and are being auctioned off for pennies on the dollar. The economic fallout from the California commercial collapse is gathering momentum and will cause serious damage in the economy in the rest of the country. Currently the feds are managing to intervene to manipulate the economy and quietly support the banks that are heavily invested and suffering huge losses in California commercial real estate. But once the election is over and the losses continue to mount, this manipulation will no longer be sustainable.

The rich live in other countries, since we are taking in those countries' poor citizens.
The problem is that Beverly Hills only consists of ultra rich people now who only shop at Hermes and Chanel. Back when there was diversity people used to shop at all these stores and the stores were able to afford their leases with that income. The city really failed in keeping their low and middle class residents.
@@MMM-ii7ce
Even the ultra rich aren't spending "like normal" or so many Beverly Hills restaurants, banks, medical offices, car dealers, and stores wouldn't be out of business. Europeans aren't visiting Venice Beach, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, as they used to. No one is buying things in person like they used to. Online e-commerce has affected in person shopping greatly. Restaurants have been faced with higher costs and more anal regulations by Newsom and closed up shop. Way too many places have all been affected by the same policies. Many have left California, altogether.

The area looks like an open air mall with a Gap store and all kinds of other lower end goods, not to mention the types of people you see there now ever since the riots in 2020. This also makes people not want to go there. However, this is not all due to crime or high rents. Internet shopping has helped create this retail ghost town.

Imagine opening a restaurant , paying around 9k a month for the lease, 5 to 10 $20.00 an hr employees not to mention management pay, permits, insurance, electricity, Taxes , Cost of goods and security in some cases. You get maybe 25 customers a day, 30 or 40 on a good day if your food is good, prices are reasonable ( expenses are too high for reasonable prices). You will be out of business in a month.

@@JAMES_III...🦐🦐🦐🦐's for the lizards ...head first!
I do believe that this emptiness is called Karma !
Now they can learn to code. Not so humorous now.
💯
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@ChrisCarlin-is8wv
Nooooo .... It's called a purposely initiated design that's been in progress for many many many years .... Nothing to do with karma ❤
Karma for what?
Similar situation in San Francisco and San José.....so sad, lived in the SF Bay Area 80s-90s....a great time back then, really loved being there
The bigger they are - the harder they fall, but fall they do!
😃👍👍👍👍‼️💯
"Gone now!" Lol, I like watching your videos. I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life and it is so sad to see so many of the businesses "gone now." Keep up these awesome videos and I'll keep up the watching. 😀
Thank you
I like when you say, "Gone Now". Love it.
Ghost cities everywhere
Democratic cities everywhere a disaster.
The late great state of California.
Rodeo Drive is now simply… a rodeo.
And Subway is the only place left for pricy food in - Beverly Hills!
Last time I went to Subway, they tried to charge me $17 for a 6-inch sub, so at least their prices are Beverly Hills!
Footlong….goooone
I said a couple of years ago that the stores would either close or have armed guards and allow one person in the store at a time, locking them in while they shop. Thanks shoplifters
Seems like all of California is….
CLOSED NOW! 😅
... and available ... FOR LEASE 💀
I love here and that was funny as hell!
Live in California now...we shop online exclusively...and out of state. Just trying to figure out where in the country can move to ...so difficult...
I finished watching I'm...Gone Now!
But you will return!
I remember back when Obama was President. He had a fundraiser in Beverly Hills. The Entertainment "News" was interviewing an American film producer that had made a large donation to the Obama campaign and had attended the dinner and fundraiser. When the producer was through singing the praises of leftwing causes and how great Obama was, the interviewer asked him about his next film project. He stated that they had a new project in the works and that they were going to start filming in a couple of weeks in Vancouver, British Columbia. A perfect follow up question would have been, "Here we are in Hollywood, California, the movie capital of the world, why aren't you filming here, with an American film crew instead of Canada?" Well, we all know the answer, don't we? The very policies this guy was fundraising for, sucked for his business.
CA film industry...GONE NOW. It is in Vancouver, and Toronto, and Atlanta, and now New York and believe it or not, New Jersey (37% tax break).
Greetings from Germany. I remember the splendor and life of days gone by when I think of America. It is frightening to see how such examples can also be transferred to Germany. It seems as if the same processes are taking place in different countries at the same time. Good luck to us all
It's like the whole world has thrown up their hands and given up.
The “Young Global Leaders” have been installed in all the First-World nations.
It is all by design.
Globalist Elite Agenda from the Davos Crowd. Flood countries with mass immigration. USA with South Americans and European countries with Muslims and Africans until they brake. World Wide Government controlled by the super rich.
The global elites are doing it
i can only imagine how astronomical the rents are
Probably not anymore. You can probably get a hell of a deal.
@@crypto_chick_ nope. you still have to pay LA prices. you might be able to initially buy it for cheap because people want to be rid of these properties, but thats it.
the fact people are even actually selling some of these and not just leasing tells you enough.
I lived there 35 yrs ago. It's like a deserted Ghost Town now 😱
😱I was dreading this video. Thank you Leo for showing how things are now. ❤❤
Yes, I was surprised too to see it this way
Reality of American system and new trends in retails. Nothing special to enjoy, except if you are Jeff Bezos
No worry, this is the democrat way of life. Happens in every place they live.
Is pretty normal!
I'm happy you noticed that. They taught Trump a lesson and now they're living the Communist dream!!! Stalin, Mao and Castro are smiling..
Not your FDR party anymore. Now badly concealed Socialists. Have a lot more in common with Cuba than you realize.
I see this comment about dems and repubs a lot. I live in Delaware which I believe is democratic state. Why doesn't Delaware resemble this type of vacancy?
@@CeeTee-12345
So you would rather live under a moron corporate gangster like Trump? This guy has 91 indictments and is going to jail.
I can't believe this is Beverley Hills 😮 take care 💚 Australia
It is not, retailers are shrinking that's the reality.
wow, growing up in the 80's this was a very different place.....too bad
My Two to Three Family Trips to California a year. GONE!! Thanks for Showing what Horrible Woke Liberal Policies do to a State.
Lol
A good way to gauge the economy whether it's going well or not is to look at luxury stores in the fanciest places. We have a good hint of what's to come in the near future.
A former millionaire taxpayer from California I left last year, never going back
Gone now!
Sure bud
Your taxes are a small drop in a big bucket that has a hole in it. No one cares about the fake money you pay to a fake government
And shut up no one cares if you say you have money or not. It's all for you to feel good about yourself.
What state are you helping to destroy now?
go woke ...go broke 😮

FR = For Real
2 sci-fi movies look like this, the last man on earth and the remake, Omega man.
Wow, Saks is gone. No one wants to venture outside in CA. You don't want to leave your car exposed outside.
“Your car, is all our car!”
@@carolesmith9235 I know. I looked it up. Some of these you tubers bend the truth. A SF you tuber mentioned that about this guy.
Saks not gone just moved next block over into goner Barney’s store
At least the fancy board manufacturers are making money.
California is for lease now
But you cant find a U-haul to get outta there!! Anywhere!
America is done 👍✅
Israel is sucking the country dry.
The collective West is cooked as is Europe. It's all done by design by the tribe "that runs all the banking cartels" that no one is allowed to speak of, or else.
Along with Canada. Our economy is dead.
Now you’re talkin!
Yes America 🇺🇸 is absolutely Finished..
Those high value stores on Rodeo Dr generated HUGE property taxes. Enjoy balancing your books without 'em!
Oh don't worry. The corrupt politicians will take what's left of the very few hard working people there until
those people finally decide to leave as well. California is turning into one complete desolate wasteland.
And Sales Tax !!
People shop online now, either on Amazon or on a retailers website. It’s so easy, no searching for expensive parking, no wasted hours searching through stores when a couple of clicks on a website is all that needs to be done to get what you want & the items are delivered the next day or in 2 days, sometimes for free. I think paying for shipping is well worth it to avoid the hassle of shopping in person.. Who wants to waste time shopping in person when you can do in 24/7 from the comfort of your own home?
You are right. Retailers depend on tourists who are generally poorer now and buy cheaper stuff online. This is trend and hard to stop.
Gavin Newsom the king of bankrupt and the punk of failure.
He's an auntie's boy, a crybaby
I googled the Villa Blancha, and according to the news, the landlord wasn`t willing to renegotiate. So that was 4 years ago...
East coast here, Thanks for showing this so we can see whats going on out there. 🇺🇸
It is trend, do not worry you will soon reporting same.
This is incredible documentary video actually.
Little scary 😨
One that your "Hard Hitting News Channels" can't seem to motivate themselves to report on. Enabling the delusion and lies of the destructive Democratic Party.
This is real America....All the rest is undercover but soon this is going ti be all over.....😊😊😊😊
