@Bone Head LOSER

But there not im a vet and it hasn't changed

Been there . . . done that ! Thank God, I've recovered and reside on subsidized housing - Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸

It would cost a fortune in security!

Haha excellent!

@@walkingtourseurope8526 special security needs to be defunded.

No they will just create more programs to pay themselves more from it. They profit quit a bit off the homeless as it is.

Do you think the officials can fix this I think they caused it

They defo dont care, civil servants getting rich off another crisis

This is the result of a failure to address wage stagnation, housing as a spec investment vs a home, educational system that is severely lacking, lower life expectancy than our parents, the gutting of middle income jobs by corporations wanting to increase profits by cutting American jobs and building facilities overseas, lack of healthcare especially mental healthcare, so many contributing factors.

@@atomicstyle7344 sad isn’t it and it didn’t have to get this bad. Infighting and greedy politicians

Either don’t care, or being paid to look the other way.

How is anyone suppose to care if these people don’t care? They’d rather sleep with bugs and rodents than a homeless shelter so they can continue to do their drugs? Let them stay with you... you care so much!

But why not just say be out of town by sundown? And don't come to town except on Saturdays? It worked on us? Like I say if you feel sorry for America in any kind of way you a fool? Don't get caught after dark?

You're pro-life aren't you?

@@undrwatropium3724 Kerry, I am Pro-Choice up to three months and Pro-life after that. One should be able to know if it's a "keeper" by then. I do not believe that my taxes should not be used to be spent on drug addicts living on the streets thousands of miles away from the State that I live in. California is culpable for the problem that it facilitated. Frankly, I am not Pro-Life when it comes to the drug-hazed zombies and fentanyl OD is doing a good job of helping those that want to commit suicide to do so. Drug addiction is not a disease. Cancer, diabetes, MS, etc, are diseases and they are not self-inflicted. Yes, I have lost close family members to drugs and I am angry at the pain they have caused those that loved them dearly. Drug addicts are the epitome of narcissism for it is all about them, even to their deaths.

Yes summer is almost here rolling blackouts coming in la

I live in SE Oklahoma and last week it has felt like Louisiana! July and August is going to be brutal

Worst water shortages in history, water now being rationed. Have fun.

Wow I was just thinking this🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Kensington is a lost cause. They let it go for too long.

@@NoQuarterIsHere skid row has been there for over 100 years

If any of you people came to the Kensington and Allegheny area in Philadelphia and visit it you'll never forget it, it is a totally disgusting and disgraceful area it is so crazy that when you see it first hand you won't believe what your looking at and you'll never forget it

Not only that, families surrounding those houses wouldn't want these type of people living next to them, I wouldn't blame them.

They can thank their lawmakers for that. The eviction laws in California are ridiculous.

@@humachine5226 this people are human beings you could end up homeless as well have a heart

@@blacky8030 sorry man, ive lived on my street for 22 yrs and a few years ago 2 house on my street were bought and were rented out to some low income families that never paid their rent and literally trashed the street with getherings everyday, beer and hard liqoure bottles outside their house, not one time did they take care of their home. Luckily one of those families were forced to move, we only have one low income family that still lives here and just a few months back swat team woke up the whole dam neighborhood cause that family got raided. And these were only low income families imagine homeless people? Hard working people deserve to live next to other hard working people that value where they live.

@@DonJulio510 i feel you but cant condemn a whole society of less fortunate cause of the few bad apples . Some people genuinely wish they had a place to just lay down . Ive worked with the poor in 3rd world countries makes u have a heart for humanity. I I totally feel u

Exactly right only hide them during elections which is whats happening now. Predictable Government

No money in it for them

75 years old, my mom use to bring me shopping back in the days. I was a Kid and all I saw was white wine noos. Now take a look discussing

A death penalty for drug dealers would be quite nice.

@@bigfrank717 - I strongly support death for dealers. Instant. No courts. No jury. You get caught with more than one hit of dope, execution on the street. Bullet to head. After maybe 100 of these publicized executions they would think twice.

Dorian: With drugs pouring in via open borders, hatred for law enforcement, criminals being released from prison, governments (fed, state, local) decriminalizating drug use, corrupt officials pocketing gobs of money while they give a wink and a nod.....who can overcome the infestation and devaluation of our great Country??? We are sunk.

@@bigfrank717 well we need it one way or another :legalization or death penalty...incarseration,drug wars, money laundering its just a business...it worked out for china..they could not fight the british over the opium so they just got rid of the market now they are building space stations and could win the british in a war i believe....i DO think less addictive drugs should be legal like weed and mushrooms

@@anunknownknown it will take a revolution to turn things around at this point. I'm old so I pray I'm dead before it really starts.

Better idea. Let's just leave it like this. The politicians and all of their idiot bleeding heart supporters who voted them in WANTED THIS. They voted for this. Of all the homeless, most willfully chose to come here. Let's give these people the state they wanted, and rightfully deserve.

MenTaL?HeaLTh,.....iT's caLLed drugs and Laziness

@@arminiusofgermaniaWould you please explain the reasons behind each of these statements. I don't live there and am wondering if there were specific issues you are referring to.

Reagan policies of years past. If they live in a mental hospital and are not dangerous to themselves then let them out. Crappy Republicans don't have the answers. Same as the Democrats. All every one wants in expenditures is to keep the cost of governing low. Both the Democrats and Republicans don't want to spend mioney to do asnything about this problem.

I endorse that 100%. There is dignity in an honestly earned paycheck.

we have to do something about mental illness as well.

@@dontamba4919 Correction, white homeless bums don't wanna work.

The people cleaning the roads are/were homeless or just got out of prison.

One day u will end up homeless and you will remember this comment. Have empathy for goodness sakes where do u want them to go? No one wishes to be in poverty

@@bombonelnastase8031 thats for them to answer to God , that shouldnt excuse someone talking down on the poor . We should have kindness to help humanity, you never know your tomorrow.

Homelessness is a sign of a wealthy nation not a poor one.

@@blacky8030 no man I had an uncle that choosed to be homeless in l.a. we tried to help him for over 20 yrs but chose the freedom to be free. you can tell who is homeless because they lost it all and still choose to thrive and then you can tell those that just are comfortable being homeless.

@@blacky8030 What is your address, you have plenty of empathy, no? They can stay with you!

Indeed

Those streets are home to so many mentally ill, elderly & crippled people in wheelchairs, it is shameful & inhumane for sick human beings to be neglected this way.

@@madamelebuff yes indeed lots of sick people gere

Here

@@walkingtourseurope8526 I always imagined a life in a wheelchair would be unbearable but to be so vulnerable in a wheelchair trying to survive on the streets? that is a different depth of hell. It is heartbreaking. Thank you for showing this reality. Watching from New Zealand.

Great idea

You give politicians far too much credit and ability. It’s not that easy as making them wall or in filth. If it was that simple to come up with an idea why don’t you go Waller in the filth and tell us all the answer rather than just blame someone else, and think someone else should be responsible for fixing it, so there is that...

The politicians would just start slinging rock and demand UBI 😂

It's funny when idiots say this like it would ever happen 🤦‍♂️ who's gonna force them you 🤔 yeah good luck with that but keep virtue signaling how you would like to see it

@@bluebird1954 blow me

Reason: poor life decisions, self pity, and drugs. Accounts for probably 70% of them. Sad yes, but most have done it to themselves.

Most of them of not all have to do with drugs and prostitution

yes rhyme and of course reason your just too lazy to think past your cliche phrases your so proud to think up

Drug addiction and mental illness. The mental illness is a tough one to deal with but the drug addiction is an easy fix. Punish the dealers with life imprisonment or worse and provide temporary housing but under the condition the addicts get treatment. We need to stop enabling these destructive behaviors.

Most of them choose this lifestyle.

true its a lifestyle for many here, social network as everyone relates to each other.

If you walk through here on a sunny summer day you'll see many of these people lounging about, drinking, smoking and grilling, playing cards and generally just having what looks to be a terrific afternoon - everyday. Doesn't seem like such an awful way of life, probably preferable to working a regular 9 to 5 and paying bills.

I've seen & met many ppl around thru that I gotta know that most of these ppl trapped in addiction & some of them tried & failed & hooked on the habits ( homeless lifestyle ) plus they've got food stamps & some monthly benefits on how they depend ..

& obviously most of them suffer from mental illness, inferiority complex & staying low life .. & maybe some reasons we never know ! Otherwise nobody wants to live a life like this ..

Thank You but Politicians do not have any answers only ask for more money

@@walkingtourseurope8526 yah!need help now for all homeless..

@@walkingtourseurope8526 because there is money in keeping the sickness, not so much on the cure.

I agree. Not a great situation for multiple pets 3:22 ... 9:38 at least throw a blanket or welcome mat down and give some real food. People have choices but not the pets.

To keep a pet there is by definition animal cruelty.

German In Venice does a good job filming the homeless plight

Thank You!

Austin TX is quickly becoming like this, housing through the roof, working folks can't afford to live there any more. Homeless enclave growing larger all the time.

often times people will get their children taken from them if they cannot support them

Yes, and it starts with our government and churches. People need to get involved in both places and demand that our tax money is allocated in this direction. The books need to be gone through from the local clerk up.

Agreed, although I'd say it depends on your definition of "fixed". Many of these people will never be productive citizens (this is not meant as an insult to them but a testament to the chains of mental illness). What we CAN do is keep them safe from themselves and others AND provide an opportunity for community and a semblance of normalcy. When people cannot take care of themselves and pose a threat to others, they must be institutionalized, a term that desperately needs to be de-stigmatized. They need to be diagnosed, looked after and sheltered for their own safety because they cannot recognize this need on their own. This is the conundrum of severe mental illness: you cannot recognize your helplessness and therefore cannot see you need help and thus can't take care of yourself. The fact that politicians make the point of being "compassionate" while allowing them to persist in this state is utterly disgraceful. The idea of placing these people into houses and expecting them to stay housed is laughable and shows how out of touch the govt is. Real Compassion would actually be removing them from this helpless situation (by force if necessary because there's no chance at willingness without treatment).

If all this is such a financial and social burden of looking at these folks everyday,why can't the government/ taxpayer buy up someplace like the failed community of California City,in the desert and turn them loose out there ? Let them put up their tents give them water tanks,porta potties and soup kitchens ! Maybe that way they won't be a nuisance by pooping on streets,begging for handouts and can do all the drugs they want without roaming working class neighborhoods and business districts,degrading property values and such?!?!

In Orange County, the state cannot remove children from parents due to homelessness. It's sad to see how many families live in their cars and run down motels with their children.

They are full, there is a waiting list to get in. When a spot opens up and you aren't there then the next person gets it. So the only way to get in those shelters is to camp out front.

100%

Plus some are afraid of getting assaulted

It's almost impossible.

Drugs and Mental Heath play a BIG Part!

Sorry lazy drug addicts, can't fix that folks

Drug addicts are all over downtown la now. Wondering around in traffic in the business district and it smells bad. Ow also

@@bigfrank717 Lots of things are possible, but we either don't know how, or it's not worth it.

Yet you never hear a politician say it's time to arrest the illegal drug dealers. It's almost like the politicians are getting kickbacks from the druglords, especially in Philadelphia.

Relocating these people won't work. Away is someone else's back yard.

🎯🎯

A free bus ride out of skid row could be a good thing....

"the city workers that clean up the area...." Aren't city workers. They are homeless people, formerly homeless people, and people that just got out of prison. They are paid minimum wage. City sanitation workers do come as well, like once a week. The ones pushing the garbage cans on wheels, sweeping, they are there every night.

They need drugs easy access is here

@@JustinTyme1966 Granted but the GOP is no better, unless you are a wall street hedge fund or a defense contractor or a big pharma company or a oil company or a billionaire. Then they will FIGHT FOR YOU!

Don't you mean conservatism at work. They are against spending tax payer money on a host of social safety net programs and ideas. You won't get any help from conservatives.

Take away the drugs, easy access

Lot of room on the roofs of building, just add some elevator 's and security and call them tenement houses.

@@walkingtourseurope8526 that’s the truth!!!! I was enjoying a beef dip sandwich and decided to cruise skid row with my brother and we started filming when we saw a drug deal going down and the fancy drug dealer looked straight at us with an evil looking stare. Then we drove under the freeway and saw people building 4 room shacks using power tools!!! Omg. Besides all the RV lined street smelling like a garbage dump. Truly out of control

@@taylorwilliams4131 hahaha 🤣 good one Taylor!!!!!

Re-criminalize the behavior and activities these people have been doing, send them to prisons, asylums, or work camps, get them working in gardens, craft projects, or public works (pending good behavior).

Yes thats the response from most people here.

OMG! Sadly but that’s reality happening now..

Kensington videos are horrifying. Somebody explained to me the other day that all those people bend over like that or on a mixture of heroin and tranquilizers. Looks like that would just make you lay down and curl up and go to sleep. I figured it was something altogether different.

@@sweetdrahthaar7951 the majority are on fentanyl I think

Fentynal is the drug the addicts are shooting up everyday in the open but all drugs are available in that area from pcp to crack it's a true abomination of lost souls that will never return to normalcy anymore

Thanks you!

Those animals certainly are used to seeing and being around a lot of people

They are here because of drug access and no rules no rent

@@miapdx503 the people can help themselves. Food, water, warmth. An animal kept on the end of a string has no choice. " how inhumane are you?"

Millions of Americans will be evicted very soon. You might be one of them.

@Richard Joniec same thing in Socialist Western Europe!

@@madamelebuff you already are lol

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sues cities who try to interfere with this mess. The ACLU allows the homeless to wander through streets, holding up traffic, to beg for money, and to set fires to cook and stay warm, and to deprive tax-payers of community resources such as parks, recreational facilities, and public sidewalks.

@@AmandaTexas And apparently the courts agree, so look for the answers there also.

Thanks for watching!

Yep lots of empty land forests up north but easy drug access here

@@walkingtourseurope8526 - No way man. These fools would burn all our forests down within a few days if they moved up here to Oregon and were placed in our forests. F-that.

Im surprised the leftists havent attacked your comment yet and accused you of being racist. Peace!

@@RapidCycling07 I’ll be the first to attack then buddy. It’s obvious by the dudes comments that he’s prejudiced against poor and working class peoples. Notice that he says “people that don’t want to work and live on social welfare” this is a common talking point by right wingers, they want to portray all poor people as lazy people who don’t want to work. But the reality is that they are some of the hardest working peoples in the country. What they fail to tell you is that they also want to send all low income people into housing projects too. Basically anyone who doesn’t make 100k a year or above who can’t afford to buy a house. They consider them to be subhuman animals not worthy of breathing the same air as them. These right wingers are fascists through and through and guess what you’re one of them.👍

These people will never be able to afford a place in LA, let’s be honest

@@ivy_caine5302 Especially when they turn down beds in a place that doesn't even charge. Don't want to be following rules!
