I’m so thankful that I left there over 25 years ago! I’m truly blessed to live in the beautiful forest now in the clean air! I’m going to go for a hike & fill my spirit with gratitude ❤
Watching these kinds of videos and seeing how some people live, it makes me so grateful to be a homeowner with a job and loving family. It makes me think you know what it isn't so bad getting up at the crack of dawn for work after all.
sometimes get this craving...for the apocalyptic feeling and missing LA (left 3 years ago living in a small town ..city another state) but every time I get those strange LA vibes I watch something like this to remind myself I did a great thing in leaving
I remember those days I use to live on Stanford and the corner was 6th street , I was on General Relief then back like 1985-1987 there were no tents back in those days. Mostly I seen was the people living in cardboard boxes. I did work part time I lived in the hotel called Eugene paying 200.00 for a room.Those were not too bad of days. I remember the Goodwill on 7th street, I use to go on the half price day on Sunday and buy things, I remember buying a used t.v. and putting in one of those grocery cart and brought to my place wasn't all that far. The place had community bathroom but I didn't have any problems living down there at the time. How the years passed, I also stayed at the Ford on 7th street on the 3rd floor, the manager of the Ford at the time also managed the Eugene, That is how I moved from the Ford to the Eugene hotel. I was blessed to find a better job and moved from downtown, Now I live in another area of the city. Haven't been back in that area since 1988 I just see on youtube videos and new about the area now. These has changed a lot since those days in the later 80's.
Hitting up la in 6 weeks and been studying the places to go n not to go. Skid row is at the top of the donts. I feel for the homeless however. Sad and very eye opening. 🙏🏽
Me and my buddies used to drink on Skid Row back in the 70s and 80s. Wonderful times at Crabby Joe's bar where anything went. But while it was the epitome of sleaze, it really wasn't too dangerous. Today, I don"t think that I would want to hang there.
How many times do you get confronted about your camera? I noticed you kept the camera pointed down for a while. I remember looking at the beautiful clouds not so far away decades ago and seeing the misery on the ground below and wondering how many people saw the same kind of sky before me and felt as sad about the conditions people lived in under that same sky. DTLA has plenty such history. I could see today coming too. For a while things looked like homelessness could be a lot less, but that didn't turn out. Aside from politicians and bureaucracy botching things up, there's so many of the homeless who cannot escape because even when they have a decent chance, they bring the reasons for their problems with them. That's why it seems so hopeless.
If someone is dead here on the streets the liberal kids will step on them playing on their phones like zombies. Imagine we have war here who will fight definitely not the new generations. Twenty something kids are cowards
@@walkingtourseurope8526 I wish everyone stays on their phones while walking outside! I found $800 laying on the ground because everybody was walking by it. Everyone under 40 is screwed in the future because we (Gen X) refuse to fight for them mindless zombies.
I opened a porta potty and it was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen it was overflowing and the smell was horrible it’s in 1 of my recent videos. I’ll never enter a porta potty again!
@@walkingtourseurope8526 I can imagine. I thought about port o potty but I figured they wouldn't even be usable and blown out of service , so that's why I asked lol . especially if there is only a few of them and thousands of homeless. I know the government isn't going to spend too much on port o potties for them
It would be interesting to see these videographers spend a week on the streets surviving. Could you do it? You and a friend pitch a tent and survive a week and record it. Could you be homeless for a week challenge.
@@mikedavis2969Conservatives have no solutions either, they'd be too busy thumbing their noses at this misery, strutting around in arrogance, name calling.
