The amount of junk they accumulate is mind blowing.
Do goers donate their shit to the houseless Americans
I've read where homeless people hoard every item they find, get or are given.
It's written they feel a sense of loss or control while homeless; hoarding items gives them a sense of some type of control over something.
It's really sad, if the appropriate resources such as: rehabilitation ( alcohol/drugs),mental health ( including much needed institution facilities) and more help available with rent/mortgage ( when people get sick or loss of jobs) was made available, these conditions would minimize.
Many agencies receive the governmental monetary help, yet paying employees and management who make 6 figure incomes, the help disbursed for those intended is minimal.
The government should start small agencies were all employees make the same amount ( not 6 figure incomes) then maybe, just maybe more of the money would make it for it's intended need.
Now, all the others who just want to back pack and live off the fat of the land, those people would be evaluated for employment and have their SNAP benefits cut off after 3 months. There are too many jobs for many of these able bodied people to want to just live in tents and collect SNAP benefits. For that group, their free ride would end after 3 months.
@@SweeTeaNLemon keep it real. Most these people don't want help. A majority of souls are lost and can't be helped.. The drug game is different last 5 years. There is no hope for many.
@@SweeTeaNLemon Literally NO. Just not even close to reality. It only sounds nice and pretty to say that.
@@8Jah I agree. Most of them are given shelter but decline. They rather be on the streets and do whatever they want. To live in shelter they are rules. They do not wish to follow rules so they rather be homeless. I don't feel bad for homeless at all.
I love the tractor operator USING THE MATTRESS TO WIPE UP THE SLOP AND OTHER CRAP OFF THE STREET.
Me too, just folded it up like a wash rag.
That was disgusting did you see how black the matress was made me want to spew.
🤩
Any plumber could tell you what that black stuff is on the mattress
I like the way they used the mattresses to mop up the filth. Effective.
Great job documenting, just film. We are observing this chosen chaos of the Urban Camper.
They all look young and able to work
They are lazy pieces of crap
There are older people and disabled among them though. They're more likely to live in vehicles or to get priority for tiny house villages and that kind of thing. There the ones who don't want to live in the street. In my city there are no Section 8 places and people aren't even allowed to go on waiting lists.
Mereka masih usia produktif....memang pemalas
How do you know they don’t? But can’t afford rent. The guy in the Green had “Staff” on the back of his shirt.
Just giving the city employees something to do, these people will be off to the next street to destroy it too. Just because you're homeless dosent give you the right to burn fires and destroy other people's properties and propertie values! I was homeless for almost a year myself but I didn't build a living room in the middle of a road, I stayed out of the way and worked on getting myself together.
THEY ARE FUCKING LAZY WITH EXCUSE SAYING I CANT GET A JOB BECAUSE I WENT TO JAIL OR HAVE A SOCIAL PROBLEAM AMONG A LARGE CROWND.. BUT IF YOU SAY WE ARE GOING TO PUT YOU IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF THERE LIFE I GARANTEE THEY WILL BE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO IN TOWN LIKE CLEAN THE WHOLE CITY.. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE STREET SO THEY CAN JUST START IT SHOW RICH HOW THE CITY WILL BE CLEAN BECAUSE NONE WANT TO BE IN JAIL.. WATCHING WHO HAVE A CUTE BUT DOESNT MATTER THE GENDER .. TRUST THEY WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANY WORK TEMP
You are good example of leaving out from street, but question? You perhaps didnt have a nice car parking somewhere down on the by a gas station and you did change clothing to beg for money all day did you?
@@noneyourbusines6738 I didn't have a car and walked everywhere, I didn't beg people for change or anything either. Luckily I had one friend that would let me borrow his lawn mower and I would push it door to door. Never made a lot but I would make enough to get some food and go back to my spot in the woods. Anything else you want to know? Or if I just misunderstood you I apologize and take care brother!
@@noneyourbusines6738 I'm a really anti social person myself, that might have been one of the reasons I couldn't ask people for help.
@@noneyourbusines6738 amen to that!
Me mata la tristeza...no sabemos sus problemas...y cada noche van mis oraciones por todos los necesitados del mundo.
These guys did a good job
I don’t normally watch slow TV but this one had me hooked two minutes in.
Good job!!! We must recover our cities, beaches, parks and sidewalks
and do what with the homeless? how come nothing is ever done but shuffling them around
Have you ever heard of if you don't want to help yourself then why should you expect others to help you. These people or most don't want to work or anything they have given up on life. But you have to get a grip and try at least. I have had friends that try to hire these homeless people to work at 40 or 50 bucks a day cash money and they turn them down when it is as simple as picking trash up on lots and stuff so they can mow them. So understand one thing before you start spewing that stuff out of your mouth if they don't want to help or better there self then you can't expect the public too. There not children there grow ass adults that don't give a crap about there self or you. So dog off in your wallet alittle deeper and let several of them move into your house. That will get them off the streets. 👍
Watching that woman pack her stuff was like watching a teenager clean his room.
What I find incredible is the amount of stuff we have in the US, and give away for free. We clearly lucky to live in this time.
you have no idea the amount of food and items we waste.its pathetic. we throw away enough food just becuase we cant profit off it to cure hunger in the world
The problem is not that people have no empathy for homeless it's that setting up on public streets is not only an eyesore but unsanitary and public walkways and access denied to fellow citizens.
Yeah, the Socialist/Dems don't give a shit about that. If that hasn't sunk in yet then you're just as guilty as the Democrats because you voted for them.
I don’t think I want to walk down that street. Y’all refuse to hold that governor accountable.
@@debbiescott6732 ..that is not true. Every owner Republican/Democrat gives a S#@$%.
There are more jobs out there now than you can count, these lazy ass people dont want to work.
there should be a place set up for them since everywhere is a public street no matter where you walk, provide transportation to the designated zone and people will be corralled there. Even if that's jail at least it's consistent.
I would be curious to see these same streets in a few weeks
LOL. When they are tweeking so bad and can't figure out if they want to take the meth pipe or heroin needle.
It's great to see this. Cal Trans has been on a mission the last 8 months cleaning some Valley areas, Beach areas, Inglewood areas by SoFi stadium, and areas along the 101 freeway near downtown.
Homeless citizens who don't litter and urinate everywhere are not the people being targeted.
It's the homeless citizens who are allergic to trash cans and trash their living areas that are bringing all this attention to themselves.
@@yeeluvspizza Cali caused their own problems. They like to cater to the homeless and provide them a way to stay on the street and do drugs. Free toilets and showers!
@@rack1850 It looks like a nice neighborhood. If they are cleaning it for a football game then that makes sense. Nothing else could be more important. Well, other than serving homeless people so they can do heroin all day and live in a tent.
I thought there was a water shortage in CA? Who's paying for the power washing?
There’s nothing wrong with being poor but there’s definitely something wrong with being filthy and unorganized. It’s uncalled for. I’ve been homeless but I always kept myself and my things tidy and presentable.
I have come to believe that hoarding and homelessness are two sides of the same coin. THAT would explain it...
I have to agree I been homeless and I never was filthy and all cluttered up like that.
It's one thing to be discreet, another to do what these people are doing, and they are putting heat on people who are trying to keep it down. They are the bottom feeders of the bottom feeders.
unfortuantly we will all be lunped together as these people. ive seen people say to purge homeless or just send them to jail if they wont work....thats literal facism.....i get it,....i live in the TL in san francisco its absolutley horrible but im moving next year. i was homeless 20 years, but i was nomadic and moved around never wearing my welcome out and offering goods (jewelry) and music. small towns i could get work pretty easy, especially if there was a home depot. but most of society will label us as drugs bums and criminals, which we all are not.
I'd say there's something very wrong with being poor. You can't afford to live! Everyone started wet and ugly. Poor people, get a job. Fast food places in my town are begging for unskilled teens to flip burgers for $25/hr.
Look how cute the sanitation workers look with their little vests and their little hard hats
It's crazy the resources $$$ being spent on cleaning that filth, great job all the workers involved 👏 👌
No enforcement just a,lows them to move then return
We used to house them in institutions. That threat made those people make better choices, and it was way less expensive for tax payers.
@@kthompso43 ok so just because you are homeless you get put in prison? fuck my military service huh....you cannot threaten homeless with institutionalization simpoly because they are homeless. thats what the nazis did
@@Cloudy_The_Immortal , hospital institutions, not prisons. These were the models for treatment of severe mental illness before modern pharmaceuticals (sedatives) came along. Institutional care IS more expensive on the surface, but when social costs of homelessness is factored in, the costs are competitive.
@@kthompso43 yea i know that but there are comments on here saying send them to jail and fema camps, as in everyone., not every homeless person lives in a tent under a bridge smoking meth. i definatly agree these mental ppl need institutions
how do these homeless people have more stuff than I have in my entire house?? That's a LOT of expensive tents!
Yeah. Good take.
Think about it @Asmera some of those homeless people are actually politicians disguised as homeless people to get the generous funding by the state to line there pockets.
Watch the movie "they live" is actually happening in real life ask john carpenter.
How stupid is your comment!
How stupid is your comment!
It's a bit scary that a state the size of CA can't even deal with homelessness/vagrants/ beach bums.
Hey, I'm a North Carolina beach bum!, but I do live in a house not a tent.
Lack of leadership.
Its tough dealing with this problem because of the freedoms we have as Americans. The homeless are not required to find a home. People have the freedom to do nothing productive if they wish. You cannot round them up and put them in work camps, this is not NAZI germany. You can provide help but they cannot be forced to take it. It is a big problem
And I Thought Everything In California Is Perfect.
@@larryvarner3444 You must not be used to thinking then. 🤦♂️
As an urban outdoorsman, I don't need someone to clean up my camp. I clean up every morning and leave the space clean. Just like I found it. The other benefits are that I respect the people who let me spend the night and they respect me for not trashing their place of business, and I run by myself. Never was a fan of Jerry Springer.
same. i lived nomadically for 17 years, 14 just out my backpack, my two dogs, and accordion. i visited everywhere never staying lomg enough to wear my welcome out. been to venice to tampa to seattle. but i still got harrased just the same!!
Did you look for a job? Even working at a fast food place is a start. Most are young n look healthy so get your act together. I'm 75 years old with medical problems n still work as a nurse. Never gave in with all the pains I have.
And while this is being done, organizations are giving out brand new tents for more street living.
you want them to just sleep on the ground? i dare you to try to live outside 1 week. carrty just a backpack and water. i bet you fold by day 2
I have lived in Los Angeles for 53 years. There have always been homeless people on Skid Row. You would see a handful around the city pushing a shopping cart loaded with various items and maybe a pad and blanket for sleeping. Never would I see tents, couches, queen size beds and mounds of trash. At night, the homeless would conceal themselves. Somewhere that all changed. I have never heard an explanation from any politician as to how things changed. Why are there thousands of homeless encampments across the city? Who are these homeless? Where did they come from? Have they moved here from other states that do not tolerate camping anywhere? Are these people recently released felons? We are told by the politicians, "There but for the grace of GOD go I." Umm, no. Most of us live our lives so we will never be homeless, never injecting meth, never stealing, never committing violent crimes. We are told by politicians that the homeless do not present a threat, yet daily we hear of assaults and murders committed by members of the homeless community. Los Angeles tax payers have voted for every proposition to help the homeless; billions of dollars have been squandered.
Exactly!!! Measure H? What happened, I'm done voting for any homeless measure ever again. Compassion has flown out the window, with the miss management of funds. These politicians should be in jail, or better yet homeless.
Have you also seen the homeless who live in vehicles, motorhomes, or some type of commercial truck turned into a home? The majority of these people obviously have more income, but still can't afford or don't wanna pay high ass cost of living in California. I can't say I blame them either. A tiny cracker Jack box house in Crenshaw cost at least $500,000 or more nowadays. If I even had the money, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a small ass house. I'd stay in a motorhome too. I watched a documentary about a homeless woman who's a Social Worker and her kids out there living in a van.
The causes are sanctuary cities, mexicans, and as trump says the illegals who where some are good , some arw rapis and mulders and thiefs. fentanyl is pouring into the usa due to prez bidet. peeps even showing up from mid east..looking for fentanyl.
Thank the democrats. God bless them everyone.
actually when they used measure h money elsewhere and sheriff and police were told they could not arrest or force move the homeless until lately-- with the super bowl coming thay are cleaning areas near there
Good work to all the workers n the path ways is so much cleaner n neater too.
THANK YOU GUYS. AND GOOD BY .
It’s a normal human emotion to feel compassion. But if you feel like these people deserve help and assistance than you’ve never dealt with them first hand.
You could see it in their eyes - 'what do you have, for ME' ? 😀
Totally agree!!
One woman just threw hot coffee on a baby two weeks ago. One came up to me screaming sexual stuff to me last week. Bunch of twisted sickos.
They should be bussed to the desert, slab City!!
Compassion you kidding me let one of these pieces of shit robb you or beat you like they did my mother walking home from a hard days work and see how feel about them after
This clean up took 53 minutes. Time that to 8 hour shift per day, you guys will clean up all LA in about a month. Great job guys 👍
But then they will return ..... But wait, how bout we relocate them all to an island like alcatraz and then just drop in supplies once a month. Kinda like Escape From New York only better. Alcatraz already has plenty of housing built ??????
@@richardsmith4187 honestly brilliant. They’d probably like it too because they’d be left alone. Win win for everyone
Cleanup. ? They moved 50 feet away 😂😎
@@richardsmith4187 They could escape, many will die, more crime will occur once it's common knowledge maybe riots and looting.
@@hc507 They need to be able to bother you it is the part of the social construct. They want only $$$ because they don't sell drug for water or food. There lots of homeless housing available, but they don't want to move in as you cannot be drunk, arrogant to others and do heavy drugs.... There was a tent in Dockweiler Beach, the cops took it down, it comes out there was a huge pipe behind it, they cut the metal fencing and made a meth lab and a moonshining operation inside the concrete pipe. I used to have empathy for them (used to carry a box of water in my car, but I stopped as they want $$$ not water. You can't get high on water!
Great job that looks Fantastic
Very talented and good small machine driver... Thumbs up for his skill...
thanks to the heroic cleaning corps. and to the official blessings....
By dusk they’ll be setting back up..
Somehow this scene reminds me of the movie “The Jerk “
And this chair..this chair is alll I’ll ever need..
Ba ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔
Wiping the nasty street with a nasty mattress. That is classic. I think that operator has done that before. Well done crew.
Wow, what a difference in the end! Looks so good now. Those workers really work their asses off to clean the streets up.
yes, but once the yellow tape is removed the same homeless people move right back in. That's why they only moved their stuff around the corner....
@@kayecallaway5038 yes, I know that 🙄
All working age adults who free stuff instead of working for a living.
A round of applause to the one city worker actually working and throwing debris into the dump truck.
Bring back CCC "Civilian Conservation Corps" the street are not a hang-out !
Not all people are lucky😓.
Not all of them. You'll be surprised to find out that a majority of them do have jobs. I'm from Louisville Kentucky where they even have a homeless encampments & know quite a bit of them who have regular jobs.
Mental illness is an overwhelming contributing factor to the majority of the US homeless population. Saying that these people are "lazy" is in itself lazy thinking and shows absolute ignorance in a multifaceted problem.
@@bronevaya I definitely agree with u on this. Especially when we have a mental health system out there who don't do enough to take care of these people. They just let him go on the streets instead of putting them somewhere where they could be taken care of.
All they did was move to another street... Problem NOT solved.
My question what was done with the people just move them to another location problem not solved
LOL, you are only witnessing the beginning of the "Collapse of Society" ;)
@@mickgatz214 right, it'll be spreading across the country soon, especially with this high rent and low pay..
The homeless are down and out. They will move somewhere else to sleep. Problem will never be solved.
Felicitaciones estos trabajadores buen trabajo por esta limpieza fantástica que han hecho están sus puesto a contraer una enfermedad con tanta basura acumulada deben de tener un buen salario y una compensación por lo que hacen que dios los bendiga y los proteja de todo mal bendiciones amen
Their little convoy made me chuckle.
if you can supply shelters for them, there should be a strict law against on living on the street. You don't need a tent with belongings such as lawn furniture, sofas and a half dozen bicycles and the residents should not have to put up with this junk. Then they complain when it gets taken. If you own a home, there are laws against having it in your front yard so why do we allow this on our streets.
👏 👏 👏
Because if your homeless you should have nothing..We should make them walk around naked with a sign on their neck..Ohh.maybe even brand them..How dare they not conform to the system..
I don't know for sure but I've been told by people who are homeless that the shelters are not safe. Between fights and stealing some don't want to be in any shelters available. Personally I don't know 😕
If the shelters had showers, and let you stay in them. 99% of shelters don't let you stay there in the day time or morning, nor do they give you food. Also having a bike lets you travel to work for a living.
@@SpaceRanger187 They don't have to conform to the system. But I shouldn't have to pay for their nonconformity. Imagine the concept that they had a job and were contributing to society instead of being a drain. Just imagine.
Dude in the orange vest must be a supervisor, he didn’t do shit but stand around and watch everyone else work 🙄
Nope he's a temp who believes he can get paid for just breathing seen it many times over the years.
If you watch you”ll notice he carries a bucket that is just for needles and biohazard waste that can not go in the trash. The other guys go through the trash and when they find a needle lay it in the street or put it close to him so he can grab it. They even brought him a can of paint that should not go in a landfill. They have to designate one man for this job.
Folks are coming here from all over the USA- that is part of the reason we are seeing more homeless people here in Cali.
I'd like to nominate the operator of that front end loader/grapnel as "Man of the Year"!
The Claw 1.... The Homeless 0.... The Claw wins again!
🤣🤣🤣
The homeless have some cool hats.
It's about time. Nice to see.
I like what he did with the mattress ,very clever.
This is what happens with no rules, no expectations, no boundaries. Squalor and chaos spilling out into the streets. That girl with the pink hair and backpack seems to have enough spare cash to do her hair-some of these people are just living the new "boho" LA life of living on the sidewalk because they think it's cool. Most of the people in this video look fairly well fed and healthy. Most of the rest are drug addicts and mentally ill.
They spend all their money on tattoos and complain they are broke.
just remember when you dont feed the rats anymore they will come in your house next .... this all belongs to you California.. Keppin VOTING for your favorites .
You got it backwards. It’s not boho lifestyle it’s hobo lifestyle
@@SabrinaDacosta I'm lovin it - such phrAseology - CORRECT ! 😝
Pay closer attention. America is in the process of a controlled demolition.
My goodness they took over the whole street feel bad for homeowners
if that is the only thing u care for then ur serious sick
@@0ssi170 Those are the traditional american values.
@@selfscience no, traditional American values are you work hard and make something of yourself! NOT live off the system and blame everyone else!
@@ericpl7227 wait didnt he just blame the homeless ?
@@ericpl7227 Well bud, in this day and age that just ain't gonna work. That is an extremely flawed belief. First of all, wages have remained stagnant while productivity has increased since the 19070s. Minimum wage has remained the same, while prices of food has increased and housing prices has skyrocketed. The rich are getting richer and corporations are seeing record profits at the expense of a subsidized slabor force. The American dream is called that because you have to be sleeping to live it.
They did a good job of it.. Well-done Clean Team😄😃😍😆
Good stuff!
Good bless the clean-up crew.
i dont think thats what will be in gods mind lol
Joggers are in his mind
This doesn't look like homeless people to me it looks more like a episode of Hoarders!!
A special Junkie episode
Looks like some big yard sale out on the sidewalks!
homeless people vary. the ones in drug dealer areas are obvious junkies. the cool homeless you dont notice because the know how to fly under the radar and not bother people
I hope it will hit Philadelphia and it's going to be a BIG BIG CLEAN UP!!🤞🏿🤞🏻🙏🏿🙏🏻🤜🏿🤛🏻
Que lindo se ve las cosas limpia
Great video. The heroes are those Cal Tran workers. Really appreciate their efforts in sanitizing those areas and cleaning up all that debris, trash and filth.
Venice Beach is an iconic legendary beach and deserves to be beautiful. I'm sure the residents want that too.
Human beings love cleanliness and a beautiful environment.
It’s a relief that there’s a huge pile of tax dollars to pay for crews and equipment to clean up after people who won’t clean up after themselves.
Imagine what we could do with that money if we didn't have to waste it on degenerates. We could have a high speed train or solar panels on every building. But instead we have to spend it cleaning up after selfish horrible people driving society off a cliff
It goes both ways, these homeless people have way too much stuff, at the same time, the city will take away any trash cans in the area. All they need to do is provide dumpsters and you'd be amazed how much cleaner it would be. The city wants them to make a mess, that means more tax payer dollars for them.
Amen
@@slimvindawg420 nope. Even when provided, some of the homeless will rummage through and take stuff out of the dumpster. While others may put items in.
@@slimvindawg420 Thats why this situation has remained unchanged. The city can make a big profit, on services for the homeless. They've spent enough on administrative costs, to house these people.
The city needs to implement a "No Camping" ordinance with a $250.00 fine and upto 30 day in jail, and place the signs up just like they would a No Park ordinance sign..
Good job!!!!!
The city should have stepped in in the beginning and not lett that happen!!! Shows how much they are really enforcing the laws!!!!
In California ????? not a chance that will ever happen
YOU SOUND LIKE BROKEN RECORD.ITS THE DEMOCRATES MORAN THATS DOING THIS BECAUSE CHIINA TOLD THEM THEY BETTER
The homeless don’t have to follow laws…
Rename California to the BIG Sess pool! Cause that is what it is. I'm from California I ran away from there back in 1976 I was 17 I never looked back! It was bad then and still bad, the people running California ALL of them need to be fired!
@@karma4729 you recon thats why there homeless so laws don't apply to them??
I was once young and naive and I volunteered to help the homeless but I quickly found out that most of them are entitled brats. Most homeless simply want to be left alone, and believe it or not they are perfectly content with living this lifestyle - most people cannot comprehend this. If you give them pizza they're mad it's not steak, you give them water they're mad it's not soda, you give them coffee they're mad it's not starbucks. Some homeless have very strong support systems with family that will house them and believe it or not some of them are extremely rich. Nothing will make you feel more like a fool than trying to help a millionaire homeless person. I guarantee some of the homeless people you see in these videos are outright millionaires.
Billionaires ? Not a single human being wants to live without sanitation, water, electricity and a solid roof above your head.
I think you are confusing panhandler/swindlers with the homeless. I do agree with your other points about them thriving on this lifestyle and demanding better stuff when helped. I believe the vast majority are drug users that cannot adapt or refuse to adapt to social constructs.
@@nikolauswolff5791 u will b suprieed how much corruption is involved with the homeless services
Bwhahahaha!! "Somebody stole sumpin of mine while you spose to be watchin!" Yeah well... What goes around comes around.
I had an uncle who WANTED to live on the streets.
You can thank former Mayor Richard Riordan of L.A. for giving out those tents. Sleeping bags, too.
yea because tahts so evil for people to be warm and out of the rain? you say this from your house you priveledged little bitch
I cannot fathom living next to this filth. I feel for the "Actual" home-owners. I am sure their property values have plummeted.
Those are the worse when there kids are with there grandparents they also play homeless to see how much they could make 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just something different to do to say i did that 1 time 🤣🤣🤣
Tent prices have skyrocketed I bet tho
:) Median price in Venice beach $2.000,000 They call it Silicon beach because some billionaires moved there from Silicon Valley and Corporations have HQ there.
I don't. I was homeless once and the way you people looked at me when all I did wrong was not have a house was unacceptable. You evil and spoiled people don't deserve homes.
You would literally be a prisoner in your own home.
I feel sorry for all the stores when all their shopping carts are stolen. they have to pay good money to replace them
@@CosmicConnection968 I feel sorry for us. We pay for those stolen in increased prices
@Leroy Gardner nah fuck them, they steal anything they can get their hands on in hopes of carrying other stolen goods to pay for drugs. I feel bad but they don't want the help, they want to get high and ruin our streets
@Leroy Gardner their sorry parents. no dissaplend then they run a ground of the law .then have a life of crime. then they end up in jail i.see it all the time as a jail chaplain
@Leroy Gardner they probably got that mindset from fathers like Leroy
People pick up the carts and sell them back to the stores for $10-$20. Most of those carts are stolen by little old Mexican ladies, they leave them outside their apartments and then the homeless get them.
You thought the time of poor farms and mental hospitals had passed, but no. There's obviously a need for those institutions.
Are you talking about the work houses they used to have at the beginning of the 20th century?
A huge need
Reagan defunded them.
Those places where worse then the streets people where missed treated negated or kill what are we to do ?
@@pamelahamrick4230 better staff accountability and etc
Gotta love the sound of machinery in the morning 😎
IT'S GOOD TO SEE GOING ON.
The only way to take of this problem for the time being, is to build temporary homeless encampments away from the city; I hate to say this but if we don’t take care of this problem, this problem is going to take care of us!
Yup, fema camps out of area !! My mom sent me to camp too! Why so she could enjoy her time without an entitled demanding mess maker under foot !! I get it !!
Need more mental institutions, forced drug rehab, and transitional housing. Along with a three strike rule.
@@JasonAlexzander1q47 , how would the 3 strikes 🪧 rule, work against the homeless ⛺️??
@@mitmitization Free med clinics for the mentally ill (ssi) And free job search and assistance programs through transitional facilities.
If a homeless schizophrenic or manic doesn't want to be responsible by checking in and taking their daily meds. Then that would be strike one. At that point their Looney ass will be sent to the mental facility for lockup. There they will be put back on and regulated on their meds. Once back on their meds they will have the choice to be sent back out to the street or to a transitional facility. There they will have to follow the rules of the transitional facility. Where they will learn and perform daily life skill routines and will have acquired a steady paying job. Upon graduation and or completion, they will then be assisted into subsidized housing and will have to attend and participate in weekly meeting classes and therapy. Failure by disobedience in such programs affords them a ticket back out onto the street. Go off your meds. Strike two and repeat the process. Third strike and you will be locked up in the mental facility, which will then double as a transitional facility, for 1 year.
Those who wish to be off drugs can also if they choose to be locked up for 1 year. Then can be transferred to a transitional facility or back out onto the streets.
No system is perfect. But what is the best way to manage the problem and better allocate the tax payers funds?
I'm not saying my thoughts or proposals are the way to go. I am merely throwing brainstorming ideas onto the board.
@@JasonAlexzander1q47 , I like your ideas but it would be too expensive!
Hell, if I had a business on that street, I would of bought lunch for all this workers. After the clean up, it looked like a war zone.
It looked like a john carpenter scene out of "they live " when the bulldozer comes in all scraps everything off the street.

I wouldn't have only becuase by tomorrow all of them will be back. Im promise you. Find out the street name and i berry theres still homless people there
Just one of those workers is likely earning more per day than those T-shirt and bikini sellers on the strand.
That guy complaining that someone stole his trash when he left it in the street! 🤣
Venice Board Walk since 1970's home for many homeless that have stayed on the beach front all night with no where to go. I remember the erra, the homeless, drugs, crime and violence. I remember metro law enforcement coming in and raking action to clean up and heal Venice. I remember how it once again became safe and nice to live but through years we see it only got worse. Sad situation all the damage and trash.
Homeless and mental ill need housing off streets. it would cost less then repairing over and over and or losing a city
How dare someone steal that man's stolen stuff?!
😄
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
County farms use to be the cure.Homeless could work the fields and livestock for room and board.would think that would attract 20 percent of them.
Lol like 5% of them.
People have to have some money. They need clothes, soap, towels, toothpaste, and a phone and transportation so they can look for a job.
I wish they could take some empty buildings and open them up for the homeless get them out of the elements, I know I've been homeless it's a struggle
I would agree but unfortunately what you see here on the street would be multiplied many times over with garbage in an enclosed building they just don't care not all homeless but this group for sure we have an encampment in Oakland and they have rules and keep it fairly clean now those people deserve a building somewhere
@@dennissastini3312 there are different homeless but we all get vilified and treated like shit. even us veterans who are sober and work, i just opted out the rat race.
What a great nation America is!
The street needs a pressure wash
L A County needs a pressure wash.

As I've often said - 'Last one out, turn off the lights' ! 😬 🇺🇸 💀
We are in drought, no can do😢
It's so sad. So many young homeless people. They all looked like they're in their mid 20's to 30's. They all seem healthy and capable of so much more in life. I wonder what lead them there.
drugs and in most case mental problems not to mention murder and high crime its time to be tough on them .
No self respect or self discipline... add in our entitlement and no personal responsibility culture.
Muchas beses la huebonada otras las drogas pata muchos no trabajar y pasar solo divirtiéndote y drogandote es mejor que trabajar otros las familias
Las familias ponen reglas y los hijos no quieren obedecerlas y prefieren vivir así
En realidad es falta de amor propio al mundo y amar trabajar falta mucho de eso hoy en día en el mundo @Tina Guzmán
Drugs. This is what happens when you do drugs kids.
No matter the cause, they chose to be homeless junkies...
Watching you from Philippines
Omg ::: that lady with pictures & a sofa 😂😂
She forgot her blue suitcase with the belt helmet lol
the politicians treat homelessness like swatting a fly, they miss and the fly just lands somewhere else
So how would you solve this problem?
There is a great hand tool these guys need. A set of pitchforks !
Far less stooping over and tossing dangerous stuff.
This country solution to the homeless out of sight out of mind anyone who's ever been homeless would understand. Yeah we treat the homeless in the country like we treat garbage and it's a crying shame
street sweeping with the mattress was elite
I bet the homeowners are breathing a sigh of relief. I cannot get over how young and able bodied these loafers are.
I think the beach homeless tend to be young people and more women. Downtown they seem to be older and more male
@@jossangeles4011 Pretty hard to live in California when a 1 bedroom apartment is probably $4,000 a month! That's Socialism for ya!
Mental health crisis, try to know the root cause of the problem.
@@davidmcglone409 isn’t that capitalism. Just saying because I’m capitalist. 😂
@@SB-do1bu yea PONZI at it largest
The area looked great after the power washer was used on the sidewalks. No one with a brain should be complaining about any these efforts by Caltran. Those workers had pride in their work.
So cute video
Good job 😮
Good it's about time! Jus like their crackin down on unpermitted vendors it's time to crack down on unpermitted campers!!
Get rid of the ones that are crazy violent and drug addicted. They are not all like that. Resolve yourself to the fact that you can't save the world help those who are trying to help themselves.
The Supreme Court has ruled they can’t be incarcerated or hospitalized against their will unless they commit a crime.
thanks. at least some one notices us
Bravo
Good job
I wonder where these people will go next to set up camp, and why did it take so long for the city to take some action and move them out? Also, it looks like these people had been in this location for quite a while. I am surprised at the amount of stuff they collected.
Every Homeless person will have a home of their own when nesara/Gesara comes in affect no one around the world will no longer be homeless this could be why they are finally after all these years they are cleaning the streets they have done the same in Washington DC they removed them from a park
There is a process. These people have to be served an eviction notice. In some cases their belonging have to be stored at the states cost, even if its a cart full of trash. The people that want help get help. These people don't want help. There are so many free resources the homeless have access to.
They can set up a make shift house in 2hours. Not there when you went to bed🌃 there when you wake up.🌅
There is help with getting rid of anything🦠 in your neighborhood.
Call your city for information who to reach out to for any problem you see.
It's unbelievable to see so many people without a home gather so much stuff. One would like think, seeing that if you are homeless why would you want all this junk....But that truly is a sign that they don't have any intention of trying to get back on there feet, they would much rather get high and live on the streets and commit any crime that needs to done to continue there life style....I am so passed the point of having any compassion for them, they are cockroaches.
Here is the your answer someone tought that by given them some old stuff that means he/she would be helping thenselfs is almost a native indian thing in some states i think.. i cannot even open my on Casino because my ancester dod move passing the border way down south so now i am Brazilian today..
Your right, we should execute them all, right now.
@@marcellachine5718 lol now thats a little too far but i feel your pain.
It is time for these young healthy homeless people by choice to find a job and pay bills like we all do .Most of them are lazy or into drugs. Time to clean up now
That is harsh, although I don’t understand y they need all that stuff, it has to be a mental thing.
Gee, if I show up on Martha's Vineyard, in the Hamptons or on Mercer Island and say "I'm homeless, now house me!", do you think I'd get a nice hand-me-down mansion? Why do people say it's Los Angeles' responsibility to house every indigent who makes it to the Pacific Ocean?
No, and neither are these people. What is wrong with you?
No wonder stores have to up there prices. Look at all the stolen shopping carts.
Their hoarding pushes people to say something about the amount of junk piling up. All they need are the necessities in a cart, food, shelter, few clothings and toiletries, because being homeless is not supposed to be a long term plan. Unless you’re disabled or suffer from a medical condition you shouldn’t be lugging around a couch.
@1zzy L
I wouldn't doubt it.
No shame.
Bet they walked away so proud of themselves!
@@missingno81
It's really sad though.
I feel fortunate I had a stable home growing up. Worked for a large company for 40 years and retired. Never been homeless or strung out on drugs.
My local grocery store has upped their buggy prices to one dollar I guess they think that’s going to stop disappearance/theft of the buggies but the homeless will always find a way through begging to get $1 for a buggy and keep it for all the crap they pick out of people’s garbage at the curb/donation bins.
@@purplebutterfly7257
Wow
i’m can’t believe!!
those the reasons all lots of tourists make’s a fun 🤩 a bout california
The thing I can say about one of our homeless encampments is....they have really kept it clean. The business, across the freeway, said that if they needed to, they could dump their garbage in the business dumpster. This encampment also has their own rules. Break a rule, take a hike. They haven't caused problems. They are right next to a busy street and haven't even panhandled.
some people just want a life free of societies bullshit. unfortunatly, we are all lumped in as druggies,criminals, bums.ive had people throw bottles at me, jump me, cops beat me up and left me on side of road, and countless people telling me to fuck off and die. yet they complained we didnt help our vets. im an army veteran
We need more videos like these, its very satisfying 😌 more please...
Yes , This kind of full length HD videos are entertaining
Why because it makes you feel like a success,,??
Can they do Venice Blvd. Underpass between Slauson and Sepulveda next.
I give this a 2 fat thumbs up 👍🏼
It’s about time they put an end to this foolishness. There is no reason for anyone to be homeless. It’s a cause of laziness, addiction, and mental health.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
the problem is ego. and their culture that if ur become 18 mind your own .they want to live alone but luck of proper education to stand alone to compete. to earn for themselves.
Lol we're just going to ignore inflation and the decline of mental health in America then. Anyone can become homeless, and it doesn't even have to be their fault.
"An end" That's hilarious...
Nice. So satisfying to get rid of junk
Perhaps The Money Being Spent On Housing Non Citizens,Can House These Homeless Citizens.JS!
Sad💔
How in the hell can homeless people acumulate all that crap. if theyd spend as much time as they do gathering crap as to getting off the damn streets they be real successful at it.
