Incredible work. I assumed you were a reporter with how well you convey and explain observations with great detail. You would do a much better job than 99% of mainstream media journalists haha.
Nothing should be done for these people. The more you give them...it will only make it easier to stay that way. I lived with them for 12 years, and can honestly say that the majority will not want to change as long as they can keep using substances. I know many who were given housing and benefits, only to ruin that with drug use. A person must hit severe hardship at rock bottom to inspire them to change. Also the taxpayers in this nation are having a hard enough time getting by. They should not have to pay to support people who refuse to help themselves. Let them fall as far as possible, so there is nowhere to go but up.

Can’t help people that wanna get high snd hangout on their never ending camping trip. None want help. Ya they’ll take money but don’t ask what their gonna do with it
With defunded police probably very little to nothing will be done. If Seattle follows the San Francisco paradigm then it will get worse fast - anytime you encourage something it grows !!
It's not just in front of the Gates foundation.. You drive by ANY park in Seattle, or along the I-90 exits and they are FULL of tents, old broken down motorhomes.. Seattle has turned into a vast wasteland.
yea, and there were homeless long before the gates foundation too. Some of em here think bill can wave his magic dollar wand and all the homeless problems disappear LOL
I'm pretty sure that most of the people camped in front if the Foundation won't improve themselves if you give them help. They take the help continue there lifestyle and wait for the next handout.
If throwing money at the problem would bring a solution, then we would not have such a problem. Seattle has spent much money yet the problem worsens. Money is not the solution.
exactly. We don't need more money we need better long term options for everyone, actual ownership at reasonable prices with very low property taxes...across the country!
If Bill went one on one ti some of these homeless people and said I'll give you a house and car, in return you have to give up drugs, alcohol, stealing and become a productive member of society how many of these homeless people would take him up on the offer.
As you have stated 100 million dollars a year is spent on the homeless, it's not a money problem, it a people problem, if someone wants to live in a tent, do drugs and steal no amount of money is going to change them. There are plenty of money and programs to help those who want or need help, the people in these tents it's a lifestyle choice.
His goal isn't to help people. He's said we need to reduce population with jabs. Billionaire philanthropy is a carefully crafted scheme which helps them avoid taxes and make them appear like good people. I guarantee you he has nothing but contempt for the peasants.
Facts..all he talk about is drugging the population with forced V's. His foundation, I believe was kicked out of India for crippling thousands of children with his new and unexperimental drugs
@@StackXBT Yes, that is my understanding as well and I believe it was the HPV vaccine. There were also many children injured by vaccines in Africa by the Gates Foundation vaccine programs.
It’s not their responsibility when someone has given up on themselves. Your responsible for yourself. The homeless choose to be homeless. Your responsible for your own action and chooses. It’s called being an adult.
@@GeminiDiscover Go back to Russia and tell us that's a better place to live...LOL. These people choose to live this way. There are plenty of social programs in this country. These people are even qualified for the stimulus checks if they would spend the $25 dollars to get a post office box instead of buying drugs and booze.
Attacking the Gates foundation is ridiculous with respect to this matter. As a Seattle resident I know that throwing money at the situation will not fix it, and in fact the hundreds of millions spent in the past several years by local government and charity has contributed to the problem by not focusing on treatment and limits. The Gates Foundation does impactful work largely globally. They are free to choose their priorities and there are more than enough local resources to address the situation. The problem is lack of will and vision to intervene effectively, which would ruffle many feathers.
Most of the the homeless who live in tents and on the streets have a drug or mental issues and majority of them refuse help. The people who are homeless due to financial struggles are rarely are out in the open alot of them live in their cars or shelters and are working to get back on their feet.
In 2017 when I worked with Operation Nightwatch we had approx 3000 unsheltered at night and today we have 13000+. It is not purely because of the economy, people moved here to use drugs and not get arrested. These are 98% drug addicts with unresolved traumas. They decriminalized all drugs and now the cops can’t arrest anyone for literally shooting up in public. Our idiotic city council wants to be Uber liberal but not create the foundations of rehab facilities, shelters, and counseling for it. It’s a real shame. Seattle used to be so beautiful, smart, and now it’s dead.
The greatest majority of the people who live in those tents don't want "help". I worked next to a large homeless encampment near the waterfront, and I'd offer to buy a hot lunch for a couple people every day. Most of them told me to just give them $20, one guy told me I was a walking garbage can, and the he was a man with 'good taste' and he doesn't eat junk food. The very few who accepted explained how the majority don't want anyone interfering with the way they live. My parents did something similar to an encampment under I-5, and only ONE man wanted help. My parents wound up giving him a round trip ticket home, when he returned he'd been signed up for his pension from the union he worked for years prior, reconnected with his sister and would be living with her permanently. Don't blame the Gates Foundation, go and do it yourself
Made a good point where Seattle has the most innovative and world changing companies yet it’s basically 3rd world in the streets . That’s why I stopped visiting years ago
Its not, he was a little dishonest in how he filmed. What I noticed is that there is almost never a tent near the Gates Foundation, and if one pops up it is gone Fast. Those tents he showed were on the other side of Hwy 99
When you gentrify and eliminate affordable housing , this is what you get and deserve . After being attacked with steel pipes and hospitalized for over a year with brain damage I was dumped onto the streets of Seattle. I was a vet , a degreed industrial electrician with thirty years of work history and no criminal record . I was never offered help or housing . While homeless I was stabbed and raped . A police officer told me that if I had a drug addiction or criminal record they could help me get housing . Are you kidding me ? Seattle totally deserves the conditions they have fostered
I've seen advertisements for Employment with Fe ma. Maybe the endgame will be a final sweep and sent to camps. And when the grid goes down, we'll join them.
Good points to make for sure. There's not really a solution because we've never seen it this bad. I mean the homeless encampments have been going on in Seattle for almost 10 years. It's everywhere around the city. What he shows in this video is just one or two of the maybe thousands of encampments all over town, there's some under the freeway in Sodo that are giant. They keep throwing our tax money at it and it gets worse. These people come from all the country and the world to get these homeless resources that they get. At that there's not a good solution, it's not just here but all over the west coast. It's goiing to start happening all over the country with the coming recession were already in. Things will get worse. I noticed you made this a few years ago now, and yes it's getting even more to the tipping point because of how many fires these places are setting off. If they would just enforce the no camping law already in place this could end. If they could tow all the RVs this would end. It's a mess, but a newer mess that doesn't have a good solution. I can't think of anything to do if I were them, can you? Also about 90% of these people are addicted to smoking fentynal, it's really a drug crisis
You don't say why you know "Nothing is being done about it". Have you asked to interview the Gates Foundation about it to see if they have any plans un the works for a solution? Have you interviewed city council and state municipalities to find out what programs they are already providing for the homeless? Please don't just assume that there isn't already plenty of services available to help the homeless, because there are. Interview the homeless and ask them why they're choosing to stay homeless. Lets get a better overall view of the situation, not just what you see and think at first glance.

Bill and Melinda doesn’t care about the poor . When you buy a horse track for your daughter to learn how to ride a horse you are a fool if you think bill and Melinda cares about the poor. Those two should stop the hypocrisy.
An awful lot of those homeless who tell you that they served in the armed forces have in fact NOT served at all nor were they abused. It is a mere emotional tactic to separate you with your money so that they can go and buy whatever drug that they have an addiction to. The attrition rate for those that work with/for the homeless is incredibly high because so many realise that you simply cannot help the majority and efforts to do so are mostly in vain.
DID YOU KNOW EUROPE HAS TWICE THE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES and by PERCENTAGE they HAVE HALF OF OUR HOMELESS RATE while their BANKS ARE FAILING compared to OURS. YOU CAN'T JUST BLAME THIS ON BILL GATES. It is the PROPERTY VALUE TO the amount of AVAILABLE WORK THAT CAN COVER THAT PROPERTY VALUE. IF YOU OWN YOUR HOME PROPERTY TAXES ARE NOT THAT BAD. If you RENT YOUR SCREWED. RENTING IS FAR TOO EXPENSIVE. IT IS THE CULTURAL MINDSET THAT EATS CULTURE and DOES NOT SUPPLY VALUABLE SUPPORT OR EDUCTION TO THE CHILDREN. U.S. EDUCATION IS A GAME OF FIGHTING FOR AN EDUCATION. I HAD A GERMAN TEACHER THAT SHOWED US AMADEUS IN ENGLSIH AS A GERMAN FILM. IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY? THAT WE PAY THESE PEOPLE NOT TO DO THEIR JOBS AND END UP WITH A MESS LIKE THIS. I'm looking to give money to EUROPEAN CHARITIES because at least they KNOW HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Who is this guy who practically implying to get rid of the homeless - on whatever way?? Where is his solution?? or that is the all he can do to say they are dangerous etc. You know people are usually only few paychecks away from being homeless....
I don't understand the reasoning behind camping on these places. First off, get a job, no is going to hand you a job. Two, get a skill no one wants an idiot on the job. It is unsafe ALL the way around. I could go on but those two points are key.
i agree this problem is out of control, even with the new great leader bruce harrell. the rich move to bellevue where the police squelch this problem, and bill gates actual neighborhood madrona or whatever is a small area with its own well funded police department and giant walled houses with cameras everywhere, no homeless of course. look under the tall buildings here garages full of high end cars, the rich dont really walk the streets here. im curious if russia is any better? usa seems like...... something.
I always giggle when people from Russia try to talk shit about our country. I've been to Russia...excuse me, the U.S.S.R. Back when they had a little pride and self-respect.
It would be very interesting to see the financial records of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation! I would love to see percentage wise, how much of their money goes to help those in The United States Vs. other countries.
I’m sorry but we gotta criminalize drugs, especially scrutinizing the dealers, who aren’t even homeless, but just taking advantage of the homeless who are addicted to the drugs. It’s crazy seeing dealers w luxury cars coming by homeless encampments selling drugs to vulnerable people. Enabling is not compassion, it’s enabling the criminals who get away with profiting off homeless people
NYC, Seattle, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Honolulu and San Francisco are constantly on the news for their high rates of homelessness: what's the end game here? For one, there needs to be more oversight for funding allocated to addressing homelessness in the first place. A large chunk of these nonprofits that receive local/federal funding, are a HUGE part of the problem.: the people who want to get off the streets, can't. They give them just enough resources/information to check off a box, but not a real ladder to escape chronic homelessness/drug addiction.
What is your magical solution? I hear a lot of complaints but that is all. If you think that we in Seattle don't care you are sadly mistaken. If you think that throwing money at the problem is the solution then you are ignorant. Bill Gates is not the solution we are.
In the land of opportunity and people feel sorry for the homeless and their excuses. Immigrants come here and make a great life for their own starting from zero. No remorse for the homeless. Jobs and opportunity are everywhere.
@@TChalla007 fyi it is a partisan issue name 1 Republican in Seattle that has anything to do with the policys regarding the homeless situation in Seattle you can't because they don't exist do your research before commenting on something you obviously know nothing about

Bro I'm from the Philippines l think the authorities their in America does not really bothered by huge problem that your country is facing, the homelessness and drug adiction. This might be because many of your law makers, your government in particular are just busy interfering the affairs of other countries like our country Philippines specially now that election is approaching. It's so sad to witness, and hear from you the true color of America, the neglected people which is the true asset of every country. The Philippines has also a problem, but our government has clear solution to drugs and even homelessness, there are many ngo's and religious institution helping our government to provide homes. Bro keep up your good work, someday somehow authorities might be awaken. Keep safe.
the thing is people think that if you are millionare or rich person you are obligated to give money to people who dont have, but in reallity you are not obligated, is not your responsability to feed poor people, or eaven take care of them, that way of thinking is very comunist and socialist, in capitalism your money is your own money and if someone dont have the same amount of money as you, is not your problem
@Gemini Discover And now you know why I own Macs!😂 On a serious note: The homeless issue in Seattle has always been here. There’s no true affordable housing and few sustainable jobs.
Yeah well these people have to do something with they're self's to get out of homelessness. I busted my ass, and still barely making it. If some one didn't steel my car I just bought. I thankfully have a street fighter bicycle camp trailer to help me out, out there. Hope the best for those people.
His foundation works in many developing countries in which these individuals have no anything no schooling no housing not even a tent. I disagree his foundation led them to be in tents. A lot of factors play a role in this situation. Mainly the cost of living has risen for Seattle which hasn’t much to do with Bill. The cost of living in Seattle has significantly risen in the past decade due to gentrification, a statewide ban on rent control, lack of publicly owned affordable housing, and the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. I’m sure those billions of dollars do not and are not issued out to these individuals for certain reasons. You have to submit application to his foundation if you wish to make a change and I’m sure it should need approval. A lot of homeless people are actually comfortable with that lifestyle in the US.
I don’t understand why these homeless people hang around Seattle with no jobs; and no job prospects . I do have an idea; Bill has enough money to rent several greyhound buses to bus these homeless people to Venice beach,California! They can lay around on the beaches in the sunny weather; and have their meals in the food pantry!
Incredible work. I assumed you were a reporter with how well you convey and explain observations with great detail. You would do a much better job than 99% of mainstream media journalists haha.
Thank you!
Nothing should be done for these people. The more you give them...it will only make it easier to stay that way.
I lived with them for 12 years, and can honestly say that the majority will not want to change as long as they can keep using substances.

Also the taxpayers in this nation are having a hard enough time getting by. They should not have to pay to support people who refuse to help themselves. Let them fall as far as possible, so there is nowhere to go but up.
It's a traditional lifestyle for the natives.
Banks say I can’t afford $950.00 mortgage so I pay $1500.00 for an apt in Seattle.
Plutocracy N' PIGGERY, ergo "the time is right for fighting in the street, BOY!"
Same here but I rent a house for 2650 a month in Texas!!! It’s the BS for me!!!
You ain’t getting a house in Seattle for $950 a month unless you have $250K+ for a down payment.
There is no such a think as $1500 mortgage in Seattle, even if you get a studio apartment your mortgage will be at least $2500 per month.

YOU CAN'T JUST BLAME THIS ON BILL GATES. It is the PROPERTY VALUE TO the amount of AVAILABLE WORK THAT CAN COVER THAT PROPERTY VALUE. IF YOU OWN YOUR HOME PROPERTY TAXES ARE NOT THAT BAD. If you RENT YOUR SCREWED. RENTING IS FAR TOO EXPENSIVE. IT IS THE CULTURAL MINDSET THAT EATS CULTURE and DOES NOT SUPPLY VALUABLE SUPPORT OR EDUCTION TO THE CHILDREN. U.S. EDUCATION IS A GAME OF FIGHTING FOR AN EDUCATION. I HAD A GERMAN TEACHER THAT SHOWED US AMADEUS IN ENGLSIH AS A GERMAN FILM. IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY? THAT WE PAY THESE PEOPLE NOT TO DO THEIR JOBS AND END UP WITH A MESS LIKE THIS. I'm looking to give money to EUROPEAN CHARITIES because at least they KNOW HOW TO ADVERTISE.
Who is this guy who practically implying to get rid of the homeless - on whatever way?? Where is his solution?? or that is the all he can do to say they are dangerous etc. You know people are usually only few paychecks away from being homeless....
Stupid people.
haha
I don't understand the reasoning behind camping on these places. First off, get a job, no is going to hand you a job. Two, get a skill no one wants an idiot on the job. It is unsafe ALL the way around. I could go on but those two points are key.
i agree this problem is out of control, even with the new great leader bruce harrell. the rich move to bellevue where the police squelch this problem, and bill gates actual neighborhood madrona or whatever is a small area with its own well funded police department and giant walled houses with cameras everywhere, no homeless of course. look under the tall buildings here garages full of high end cars, the rich dont really walk the streets here. im curious if russia is any better? usa seems like...... something.
I always giggle when people from Russia try to talk shit about our country. I've been to Russia...excuse me, the U.S.S.R. Back when they had a little pride and self-respect.
I've never been to Russia
As long as corruption exist this will continue
Very informative
Thank you.
Thank you for the " likes"
It would be very interesting to see the financial records of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation! I would love to see percentage wise, how much of their money goes to help those in The United States Vs. other countries.
IRS.gov shows every financial record for free of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. You are asking a stupid question.
@@silencedogood7297 I didn't ask a question, I said the info on where the money went would be interesting. Your reading comprehension be sucks!
Any 'foreign aid or relief' = MONEY LAUNDERING & BLACKMAIL PAYOFFS.🙈🇺🇸🌏
Thank you
Gates was going to "save" the world. To him, where does the world begin and end he has absolutely zero idea!
I’m sorry but we gotta criminalize drugs, especially scrutinizing the dealers, who aren’t even homeless, but just taking advantage of the homeless who are addicted to the drugs. It’s crazy seeing dealers w luxury cars coming by homeless encampments selling drugs to vulnerable people. Enabling is not compassion, it’s enabling the criminals who get away with profiting off homeless people
Bill Gates/Net worth 119.6 billion USD
Every country has poor and homeless people.. It's just a shock to see it in America..it's always been this way But just got worse.. Sad
Not you Gates you would probably just 3d print as fucking shed.
Keep doing what you do you are very good at it keep exposing the crazy politics that created this mess.
Thank you!
So much for charity begins at home
NYC, Seattle, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Jose, Honolulu and San Francisco are constantly on the news for their high rates of homelessness: what's the end game here? For one, there needs to be more oversight for funding allocated to addressing homelessness in the first place. A large chunk of these nonprofits that receive local/federal funding, are a HUGE part of the problem.: the people who want to get off the streets, can't. They give them just enough resources/information to check off a box, but not a real ladder to escape chronic homelessness/drug addiction.
What is your magical solution? I hear a lot of complaints but that is all. If you think that we in Seattle don't care you are sadly mistaken. If you think that throwing money at the problem is the solution then you are ignorant. Bill Gates is not the solution we are.
So what are you doing if you are the solution? If anything at all, it's an obvious failure
Go Seahawks !!
George Custer Fuck the Seahawks.
Thank you for your honesty.
Lower rent average dump 2 bedroom is 2000.00
plus all utilities
Average household makes 100 000 a year...
GATES needs to behind them. Throw him in jail now!
In the land of opportunity and people feel sorry for the homeless and their excuses. Immigrants come here and make a great life for their own starting from zero. No remorse for the homeless. Jobs and opportunity are everywhere.
Gates doesn't owe them squat
" nothing being done for these people "
Not true ... They are not being arrested.
You mean drug addicts, get them off drugs and arrest the drug pushers simple fix
If you are not content living in Seattle move to a Red State, you will encounter the same problems.
Apparently this guy has never heard of a Democrat if he did he would understand why the problem exist
Why do people like you make it a partisan issue. That's why I'm Independent. identity Politics is the other cancer in America.
@@TChalla007 hey stupid it's the progressive democrat leadership in the city council and there policies that's a fact
@@velomobileusa8293 Name calling, pretty much sums up what I was saying.
@@TChalla007 fyi it is a partisan issue name 1 Republican in Seattle that has anything to do with the policys regarding the homeless situation in Seattle you can't because they don't exist do your research before commenting on something you obviously know nothing about
Get your news from a valid resource not a corporate sponsor try the breaking point
it’s an actual news resource
Those Democrats like to help other countries but there own. They can waste all this money on sending it over sea's when the money could be needed right here in our state and country.
If I were you BG, I would buy and install Conker Pods for them. (Maybe solar) Because those look cool and decorative to put outside your buildings where they are at. #Homeless hidden in style. No one would think those are ugly to look at😁🖐️
Bill Gates in the meantime: we gotta help Africa
Bill Gates the devil in the flesh
LMFAO! Good, let him deal with it. He says he is doing so much for the world- let him solve the homeless issue!
They don’t have enough money for him to be interested. He’s only interested in giving them a jab of poison
Bro I'm from the Philippines l think the authorities their in America does not really bothered by huge problem that your country is facing, the homelessness and drug adiction. This might be because many of your law makers, your government in particular are just busy interfering the affairs of other countries like our country Philippines specially now that election is approaching. It's so sad to witness, and hear from you the true color of America, the neglected people which is the true asset of every country. The Philippines has also a problem, but our government has clear solution to drugs and even homelessness, there are many ngo's and religious institution helping our government to provide homes. Bro keep up your good work, someday somehow authorities might be awaken. Keep safe.
You can not help people who do not want help.
the thing is people think that if you are millionare or rich person you are obligated to give money to people who dont have, but in reallity you are not obligated, is not your responsability to feed poor people, or eaven take care of them, that way of thinking is very comunist and socialist, in capitalism your money is your own money and if someone dont have the same amount of money as you, is not your problem
I’m very surprised that there’s a homeless population living in Bill Gate’s neighborhood that has some of the wealthiest people in the country.
Billy has new test subjects?
Nice job and great topic on Gates Foundation and tents on his property
@Gemini Discover And now you know why I own Macs!😂 On a serious note: The homeless issue in Seattle has always been here. There’s no true affordable housing and few sustainable jobs.
Yeah well these people have to do something with they're self's to get out of homelessness. I busted my ass, and still barely making it. If some one didn't steel my car I just bought. I thankfully have a street fighter bicycle camp trailer to help me out, out there. Hope the best for those people.
His foundation works in many developing countries in which these individuals have no anything no schooling no housing not even a tent. I disagree his foundation led them to be in tents. A lot of factors play a role in this situation. Mainly the cost of living has risen for Seattle which hasn’t much to do with Bill. The cost of living in Seattle has significantly risen in the past decade due to gentrification, a statewide ban on rent control, lack of publicly owned affordable housing, and the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
I’m sure those billions of dollars do not and are not issued out to these individuals for certain reasons. You have to submit application to his foundation if you wish to make a change and I’m sure it should need approval. A lot of homeless people are actually comfortable with that lifestyle in the US.
I don’t understand why these homeless people hang around Seattle with no jobs; and no job prospects .
I do have an idea; Bill has enough money to rent several greyhound buses to bus these homeless people to Venice beach,California!
They can lay around on the beaches in the sunny weather; and have their meals in the food pantry!
Why does it take Europeans to point out American problems?
Old Bill made them a cake
I just left Seattle and while there I stood in front of the Gates Foundation building and the tents are gone.
Very interesting!
Everyone needs to leave that poor guy alone....
