Homeless in Hollywood on the walk of fame 

Did you have a job now are you stable

@Jordan Sharpe moved away from bad influence, moved someplace I could afford. Started taking care of myself. Slowly but surely & am now happier than I've ever been. Being homeless in Hollywood was extremely lonely & I balled my head off like a baby most of the time!

@@warrior9326 yes I am very stable now. Keeping my home is my number 1 priority.

@Jordan Sharpe what's your point?

@Jordan Sharpe true

Green Day.

Walk of shame

yes very sad....... i grew up there...... the best years.... 70's & 80's...... so many great memories

I guess LA economy was first hit hard with all free music and movies on the internet middle 90s. And now with lockdown.

@@ramonalvarado9503 NOT, It's a 1933 Great Depression song that Green Day covered. Green Day sux BTW.

I totally agree,I now live in Mexico for half a year,And I don’t see this!🏝🌴🦜

POWER💪 TO YOU, NEVER GIVE UP❤

Exactly!!! This is why I don’t help the homeless. I have 2 good friends I grew up with they’re now a alcoholics 1 friend pops up from time to time to ask for money or for a place to stay for a few days when people started telling him no he started sleeping in the streets, he refused to go to a shelter or a halfway home because they don’t allow drinking at the facility he rather sleep on the street and ask for change then get help. Friend number 2 comes from a rich family they told him to get into a program get clean stay clean for 6 months to a year and they’ll get him a condo and pay the rent for a year and buy him a bmw and a job at his dads law office, long story short he’s on the streets begging for change abandoned his daughter and doesn’t care about anything but getting drunk and high

People work hard to do drugs and not work. If you walked 2 miles for a dry sandwich then you worked hard.

Lots are mentally ill . The institutions That were open in the state that took care of the mentally challenged mentally ill ALL closed years ago ! therefore putting them out on the street with nowhere to live . this is a huge problem with the homeless and yes drugs and alcohol as well but not everybody is high

There more to la than Hollywood I visted 2 years ago with my young family and aside from Hollywood and the theme parks there is loads of interesting stuff to do

Yes always a dream growing up for kids all over the world... Now I'd rather go to kabul for 2 weeks.. At least the heroin is still heroin over there.. Afghans ain't no time for that fake fentenl crap the yanks love

True

Its all not what it used to be.....

@@Wildernessoutside I understand that. There are wonderful things to see and do in EVERY city. But as for me, I refuse to spend my hard earned dollars in cities that are so poorly run by elected officials. I choose to support states and cities that know how to spend their tax dollars wisely. And Hollywood isn't one of them. Nor the state of California.

The walk of shame are the people not helping.....don't kick people when they are down.

@Caleb DeCoteau libtards rather

Hard Times with what we now know about make believeland it always was walk of shame for victims of pedos. The only crime where the victims pay the cost.

@AllGuts NoGlory all baby boomers were not living large. Who started this B.S.???

Do something. Write a stinging letter to the LA Times!

The American dream was just an illusion

California*

Anywhere else is an American dream but except for these democratic ran cities lol

Every big city near you.

Very true

Same definition as Politicians and MSM News Reporters! How ironic- NOT!

ITS TIME TO THINK OF ALL THESE SO CALLED ACTORS AND MUSICIANS AND ENTERTAINERS AS IRRELEVANT!!! Its 2021 STOP THE INSANITY.

@@user-yk3sn9xd7m amen.

Actually the actors who work hard dont do it to seek attention. they sort of have to do it because its just in them as deep passion. Media advertises them and gossips about them and this makes them seem narcissistic. LA if full of people who want to be actors out of narcissism but that doesnt work out so they go become social media influencers instead. You should go after the influencers. they are the talentless opinionated weirdos making everything about themselves for attentions.

Yeah and Puff or Diddy has a star? For what?

Evangelina Valero ---- the film and tv stars don't live in Hollywood, and most of the film and television studios are not in Hollywood, there are some but, the "stars" mostly only care about themselves and even though they talk a good game about being woke, and how sad it is to see all the homeless, while they are doing interviews, or on talk shows, they don't want to help or even look at them on the streets. They drive right by like everyone else does. I'm guilty. I can't afford to give money to every person on every corner holding a sign. But what I do is this. There is a busy Blvd in the neighborhood I grew up in next to LAX airport that all the limos and taxis use to get from the freeway to the airport, it's a shortcut. And the street runs through a residential section and just the backyard back side fences face the Blvd and the City rarely takes care of the overgrown trees on the sidewalks, city property not the homeowners, and the weeds and grass get very tall. A few months ago I noticed someone had been cleaning up all the weeds and trees etc... and there were a dozen garbage bags full. And a few days later there is another small section cleared and the work was progressively moving along the mile or so length of the street. One day about a week later I saw that it was one, white guy, in his 30s or maybe 40s working his ass off and he had put up a sign that I never saw before and it said something like " I'm clearing the overgrowth the city won't do, I'm homeless please donate if you can". I drove around the block, passed the house I grew up in and came back around onto the Blvd and I pulled up, rolled down my window and told him I grew up just on the other side of the street and I see how hard you are working and the street looks so much better and thanked him for doing that work. He thanked me and said he just wanted to have the street look good because so many people drive down here going to or coming from the airport and its such a nice neighborhood, (million dollar homes) that it was a shame the city doesn't care. I had him come closer to my car and I handed him a $100.00 bill and told him I appreciate what he's doing and thanks, take this money, I know it isn't a lot but it's what I can afford right now. I'll give you more in a couple days. He was stoked. He thanked me and said God Bless You. And he went back to work and I gave him more a couple days later. Those are the people who deserve the help and need it. Most of the homeless in this city are lazy losers who don't want to work. Some have mental illnesses, and drug use is rampant, but even drug users can hold jobs, I know firsthand. It's just easier to be a sidewalk camper than to get a job. And when the city doesn't enforce any laws or offers any alternative, people are going to camp for free and be criminals, or beggers, or collect cans and plastic bottles. It used to be homeless people would live for a month or two in hiding and then they would get themselves arrested for anything they can so they would get locked up for 90 or 120 days or 6 months for the free food and bed and safety of jail where its warm and dry. But cops and city lawyers and judges don't do that anymore. They want the paying customer in jail so they make a profit. The homeless cause a loss of money for the system because they aren't paying fines, or paying to go to classes after release, and paying for lawyers etc... It's really a terrible tragedy brought on by bad government and greed of the cities and counties

And I'm sure the wealthy see All this unhealthy an just keep going. Shame

Which is ironic because most of them are constantly in the media virtual signalling to the rest of us how we should live and behave, I bet you Ellen and Oprah have stars on that boulevard.

@@Thyalwaysseek ---- of course they do.

Ohio also has a homeless problem, not as bad as LA but it's still there. And not all of them are drug addicts or mentally ill just had some really bad luck. Sad honestly:(

No One can Do this For Them ! Offer Methadone maintenance for free..and shelter. BUT the rest has to be done by the person.

@@mikemiller659 so I'm curious how does someone who is homeless get a job? Say your a hiring manager are you going to hire someone who can't shower, can't be called, and more than likely doesn't have transportation? Sure you can give them methadone and a place to stay but that isn't going to fix all their problems. You also can't force someone to hire them. Have you ever been in hiring? You make it out like they are choosing to just be homeless when 90% of the time thats not the case. How many homeless people have you actually stopped and talked to? Or listen to their story? Judging by you thinking methadone and a place to stay will fix their problems I'm going to say 0 to none

Under the eyes of God... We need more love in this world. No one in the whole world should ever have to sleep on a street or go hungry.

@@edvanesch178 The Salvation Army helps a lot of people.

The American Dream is a state of mind. This is the state of mind of the country due to a fraudulent government.

Evil egoism destroys all that is good.

This is so sad... in Paris is the same, i remember i was very early in the Champs Elysées there was a lot homless people sleeping on the street, a little bit later before all the store open ( and the tourist come ) the police have remove all the homless people and sometimes they have kick them 😔

I’m so sorry! This is sad. It’s not that people don’t believe you but the main stream media do not want this narrative put out. I live in FL and the amount of people moving here from CA and NY has to be the highest ever. I work in a field that helps ppl new to our state. Every single transplant says they can’t take living their anymore. Such beautiful cities & states being destroyed should never have happened

STFU if your not helping then

@@Group_Anonymous what are you doing for the homeless

That's what happens when evil ones take over and crowd folks into concentration camps called "cities" and make it too expensive to build houses or own their own place because inflation and taxes have reduced most ordinary people to poverty levels.

Almost like it was planned.

It's disgusting!! Where is the humanity??!! 😭😭😭

And Americans are afraid of socialism

The farther removed from Jesus we are the worst it becomes. You ever notice the first thing dictators do is tell everyone avoid Jesus?

Sure covid was made by rich people, or the lockdown was made by rich people not by politicians...

It's an outsider perspective of America in the land of Hollywood. Not sure if he became a citizen or not? Likely he did since he's been here for 30 yrs. They have homelessness in Europe, it's just no where near as bad. But the U.S. is also the world number 1 consumer of drugs!

@@anthonylipps3102 he's American with a fake Accent & An epic asshole in real life. He is another guy in an rent controlled apartment by the beach bitching about the homeless.

They need to move and STFU and let's see what they can afford without subsided housing. That is what rent control is. Yet they claim to be high and mighty wage earners and tax payers.

how did you get out of it? how did you get into housing? all the best to you for getting out!!

I am so happy for you.

People come from all over the nation to where it's warm. L.A. is more hospitable to the homeless than other cities.

Seattle,Portland,San Francisco, and L.A. are good to the homeless. Only in sanctuary cities.A lot of homeless belong in a mental institutions.

Cali promotes homelessness and dug abuse.

@@fedupamerican296 Cali promotes drug abuse in hopes that the homeless o.d. just my opinion.

So how do you truly know the state of affairs.... Other than occasional homeless loudmouths, As long as there were crowds it is tolerable.

@@StEve-zt5pc Lisa's right. Hollywood in 89 was kinda of grimey, but not nearly as bad as today. Back in 89, you woould'nt have been sleeping on those streets, cops would've gotten you. Now, the so many, they really don't give a shit no more.

@@StEve-zt5pc what kind of ? is that?! Everyone can vividly see the state of affairs, around the whole world as a matter of fact!!

In architecture school in 83', we had a theoretical project next to Pep Boys...spent a lot of time there...and there was NOT ONE VAGRANT....EVER. So sad...

I was there around that time but the drug seen was even very bad then ! And now with the world the way it is , it’s got a hundred times worse ! Reality of it is Sad !

And it’s heading east.....very sad. Well done GIV, well done......✌️🇺🇸

Hollywood has been this way for as long as I can remember....back to the 80’s

COVID was suppost to take care of this... it didn't quite work out.

It will get much worse if it is the end of the world Jutta. God tells us in the Bible that it will be like man has never seen or will never see again. That translates to really bad.

olivi333 ... it’s gonna get worse (S Africa strain is more severe). Homeless people sleeping in cold shuts down their sinus and lungs immune system. Double whammy, Many are gonna be dying soon. Ivermectin as a preventative could stop it but our leaders WANT this pandemic ... and they push a nefarious deadly gene therapy they parade as a vaccination.

And most of those people are using drugs and alcohol to self medicate because of mental illness.

Easy way to get them off drugs would be to put them in prison.

@@bnwo most do go to prison for stealing to surive, that's capitalism i guess.

@@cjapao8058 glad you helped them...

@@PainfulRenegade thanks it was an honor.

@YEET there are a million and one solutions to the problem,, but allowing homeless people, no... ENABLING homeless people in this manner, is not one of the solutions.

Great comment Jeff

It's the most mind-boggling thing I've ever seen in my life

So.....what’s your point? What would they do with it if you gave it to them?

Most are drug addicts & would spend it on getting high & destroying their bodies so it's better you give them free shelter & therapy.

No I can't stand the pricks only one I have any respect for was Robbie Williams and keanu reeves

No, me also. Worked in casino and saw many. Never understood people flipping out. Very strange

Your not the only one 👀👌

Sadly that’s not so simple. All over America, there are boring towns with nothing going on, where dreams die over time anyway. At least when they go to Hollywood, there is a glimmer of hope in making it. In Anytown USA, there is often nothing for them but drifting through life and waiting to die. It’s no way to live.

@@tybarker5038 People think California is the promised land but it isn't. California is an illusion. What we do here in California, and we do it well, is produce fantasies. Fantasies are good places to visit, but you can't live in one. The reality is with hard work you can succeed anywhere. Look at Warren Buffet, he lives in Omaha, Nebraska.

I agree. California will eat you up in very little time. We moved away many years ago but still visit family in LA every year. It’s a sad state of affairs there but it’s still home. Best advice to up and coming actors? Don’t go to Hollywood.

Tell that to people living in your shitty tents

Many of those homeless are natives too. Those from other places have nothing to go back to for the whole country has been shot out for decades

Don't know if you'll see this but I hope now in June 2022 your son 8s getting the help he needs

everybody have dreams, it just he most probably dreams about having things we take for granted.

@@dfsdfsdsfsdfsdfs6694 I just got a bit teary thinking about when I was homeless , the one thing that I wanted was my own toilet

It's been that forever. For every starlet there's a hundred prostitutes. Maybe a thousand.

@@failedcareer6932 I agree, I was out there in the mid 80s. This blew me and anyone else I show this to.

i went to this place for traveling, LA is so scary, a lot of homeless and drug users, I felt scared even in the daytime walking on some streets. I am from China. The USA is not the perfect country people always say. And it seems that Western people are nice, but in their deep hearts, they are selfish.

totally agree but there has to come a time when you just have to start ignoring politicians and help one another, everyone needs less government not more.. have a great day :)

It is the very liberal politics of certain cities that create this problem.

can't argue with that.. and it's such a shame seeing america like this.

In the 90's there were a lot more homeless on the east coast in the NYC area, and now they are all gone pretty much. I hear rumors that they get offered bus tickets to CA. I have never seen it look this bad anywhere.

Good ole democratic policy, they want us all like that, completely reliant on the government. Funny how they dont even try to help them with some tough love, they just let it happen perpetually. Thank God I live in Georgia

Pray more often to your Moloch, to whom you have erected a statue in Detroit, the nation of Satan.

The '80s were the golden age of Hollywood Blvd full of great underground rock bands and clubs. Those of us who were lucky enough to experience it at as adults at the time will always cherish it. No reason to go there now.

Blad Blah I get you. After watching this, I have no wish to go to L.A. I was there 10 years ago but it wad not this bad...

Thanks for your insightful comment. We just visited Hollywood BLVD and Beverly Hills last week, and we were shocked by the filth and general grime of the area (Hollywood, not Beverly Hills lol). It was sadly disappointing to see how grungy it is compared to how Hollywood portrays itself. SAD to see in person.

It's very sad.

@John Jackson Apparently drug addiction is now considered "diversity" no homeless bashing, no pedo bashing and so on towards the cause of "social equality". Like parents that do not correct bad behavior they choose to ignore it and later wonder-what happened.

I live in Hollywood during the 80's.. All stores were thriving. Clubs galore. Clean. Buses coming were clean. NEVER SAW A HOMELESS PERSON WHEN I LIVED IN VENICE BEACH!!!!..TOURSTS PACKED UP THER FRI. SAT. SUN. MON. The city came to clean up nice... How devastating to see this now. Breaks my heart. I was lucky to see it peaking.. so sad..

It’s all gruesome newsom’s fault.

He had to be special.....

HOLY AND MOST HIGH Yahua, I come before your thrown with Thanksgiving and shouts of joy and praise for you are sovereign over all the world. I would implore of you to circumcise this Germans heart. He must be born again if he ever wishes to Enter the kingdom of heaven. Heavenly Father, please make this known to him, because we are living in the last days. He is exploiting the homeless people of Hollywood to increase his subscription and "likes". I rebuke you German in Venice. This is why you must be born again in order to be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because with a Heart Like Yours, you won't be able to. You will suffer in hell . The Bible, the number one selling book in the world, tells us of this. I don't have anything against you, but you need to change your ways German. People do not meet by coincidence,. And so as it is written "MATTHEW 25:31-40 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, "I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (NIV)

Prayer isn't going to get them what they need. Prayer does nothing, it's essentially a wish on a falling star. Prayer is for people that are giving their power to another, when they believe they have no any power over it. If you really want to help in Los Angeles, take them into your home and help them. Feed them. Bathe them. Give them warmth. Help them find the way out. If you cannot do that for your fellow human in your community, then you are no better than a face on a screen thousands of miles away, saying the same exact thing. Prayer is for the weak, action is for the strong.

gods or god are inventions of your invented religions and cults...accept it and get over it..

Yahushua Hamashiach may your amazing grace pour out onto Germans heart of stone And convert it into a heart that is much more Christlike, And that is doing the will of the FATHER. I pray for German in Venice, that he receives the Ruach Ha-Kodesh. I pray that he seeks the Lord with all his heart , and that he seeks the LORD WHILE HE MAY STILL BE Found. I Tell you the truth, one Of these days, maybe not right now, or maybe tomorrow, or maybe a couple of months from now, but I tell you the truth, the body of Christ and the restrainer, "the holy spirit" will be caught up in the clouds, where we the Saints will meet with our Lord and our savior Yahushua Hamashiach Go out with him for the rest of our days. For eternity. May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob bless All those were reading this right now.

You must be Republican. They always offer thoughts and prayers, but nothing else to help common people.

Aren't some of them still alive? I doubt they care much.

You're right, it is up to the individual person to fix it. I was at a mental health facility one time and I talked to a counselor for a few minutes and she told me "most of the people who come here, do not get any help" and it's because they really don't want help and they are only there because someone in their family took them there or suggested it. Until someone hits rock bottom or they get much older, then they won't get help and change. Sad but true.

Exactly right.

It becomes a way of life and just trying to live day-to-day is probably exhausting but you are right they can only help themselves.

Some people can do it, some can't.

I live in SoCal. We the people cannot legally do anything. The politicians need to change laws that would enable action to be taken to fix this. But they won't. They don't care. They are all corrupt. All of them.

@@Martin-gz4qn Yes and no. The laws are already on the books, it's a matter of enforcement. Still, your point is valid. As it turns out the democrats have found a way to make big money off the homeless. They take your tax dollars, allocate a few million to the homeless problem, hire their political supporters and friends for various contracts, cleaning, studies, "outreach (buzzword)" consulting etc. Those friends in turn donate, or secretly payoff through phony "foundations" to said politicians in charge. There's your corruption in a nutshell. For the life of me I'll never understand why the citizens of places like LA continue to vote in such political slime bags. Making millions off the pain and misery of others.

in a civilized society we have enough of a healthy wealth distribution that millions of homeless population aren't destitute in the streets lol. this isn't a matter of saying "oy fuck off back to the alley bum" there are simply TOO MANY homeless people to care for or house effectiely, so they are spilling into every part of the city. Its also happening in St Louis, Chicago, Miami as well because America is spiraling down the toilet in every regard.

@@Martin-gz4qn Government is the freaking problem

@@danieldoss1987 Corruption is worse in LA compared to China and they want to raise our taxes.

Thank you very much for sharing. 💕

I think it is true that just lifting someone's spirits like that, really and sincerely listening, is enough to encourage them to help themselves. It makes them feel a part of real life and not just some ignored and forgotten remnant.

Thank you. One of the posters here claims all the homeless are just drug addicts and alcoholics. That way he doesn't have to jump start his empathy or compassion. Probably voted for Trump.

@@ArizonaWillful some people just run on hard times. I ended up hurting my back being a volunteer firefighter and then ended up loosing my property a little bit after. Took about two and a half years to get approved for disability but by then I already lost everything and went homeless. When I got my back pay I was able to get a RV and move to a cheap RV park on the Washington coast. I don't need to worry about the cold Winters here. Just lots of rain during the winter season.

That show has become a leftist tool to brain wash.

They are satan worshipers mason

They're demons

@@milesmorales5929 the fuck does that even mean

@@godschild5587 do you actually believe that

If you think Scientologists are scary you should try being near catholic priests!

@@SittingBearProd I grew up Roman Catholic the nuns were mean as hell!

Cheryl...I was wondering if it was like that back then too. thanks for letting us know.

@@SittingBearProd if ya think catholic priests are scary try be near a group of antifa

Scien yes 🙂😄

dont you mean drugs destroys .....

Management’s

It’s not about money it’s about soul

Most homeless people aren't from California there out of staters.

The money is squandered by inept, stupid politicians.

Rite!!! The city need to wake up. Send medical help. Food . Check for Covid!!! The homeless get zero from the shitty city . They let this get out of control. IT'S a place to go to die .No one helps. This is a crime AGAINST HUMANITY...

Vancouver looks much the same

Not for long, Biden will see to that.

@@MeadowDay more migrant are coming and what did u say 😆

I can.

America is not the richest country..... Switzerland, Dubai, England, Germany are some of the most wealthy countries.

so true

This is in every major city in our country ! I found out yesterday all the prisoners get a 1200 check, they should not it should go for rent for a homeless person.

@mark. No! Nobody forced these people to start binge drinking and doing meth and heroin. Also many homes people come from all over the country because of the nice and warm LA weather.

Major Garcetri said that homelessness means prosperity for the city. So I agree with you.

@@aegisreflector1239 are you going to comment this on every post that comments about the California government?! What makes you say that all of them are drunkards, or drug users? Have you spoken to them? Do you know all of their situations?

Watching this breaks my Heart! And at the same time blind eyes are being turned on the homeless...

Great comment!

The way it’s always been. It’s a deliberate intention to destroy America while keeping their billions.

but herein lies the kicker ..... ....if you cannot wake YOURSELF up everyday .... .... then you are DiRT POOR !!! those billions means nothing....

Why is it someone else’s job to “take care” of these slugs? Take responsibility for yourself

@@cleatusjones2467I agree 100%. They make the choice to not work, to drink or take drugs every day until they're in a stupor. They take no responsibility for their actions, won't even clean up their own poop.

The top 1% made good choices and decided to acquire wealth instead of squandering what they have. Make no mistake rich people can turn poor in a moments notice with bad financial decisions. I used to live in the Hollywood area for several years and these homeless people choose to stay homeless and panhandle and do drugs rather than get assistance. I worked three jobs and couldn’t afford much more than my rent. I had to go to a food bank to get assistance with food. There were about .00001 percent of the total homeless people in the area there getting help. There are tons of resources available in Los Angeles for homeless to shower, get food and jobs but they would rather be bums. It’s a shame. Drugs are so easily available to them they would rather steal a bike for some meth than go get a job. Covid has really hurt the homeless business because every homeless person just on Hollywood blvd makes anywhere from 200 to 1000 dollars a day. Thousands of people give these people one dollar each a day and make more than some attorneys in the area. They have no ambition and need to be forced into a rehab program for drugs to get help.

Aaron Wood Very interesting, I know many of them are trying to sell and get out of America. Albert Pike WWIII is here.

Is he moving to Texas?

@@christineadams1284 What do you mean by Albert Pike WWIII is here.

I don't see any politician forcing people to start binge drinking and doing meth and heroin...

Already collapsed !! America is too far gone to repair !! Does Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom really think this is acceptable ?? I’m not American if anyone wants to reply to my post please do 👍🏻 I want to know what people think !

@Thornbird 67 I agree! I felt vp debate was a joke for THIS EXACT REASON!! Debate could've been on this issue alone? The state of California wasn't mentioned?? Its spreading fast- Seattle- to Portland! Its absolutely revolting how we are being pushed into compliance of witnessing people on streets dying in front of us- & doing nothing!!! The city of Los Angeles believes if port o potties were offered that homeless would just sleep in them or shoot up in them- so its better in their minds - that we have TYPHOID in our streets!!! Escape from LA - if at all possible- get out while you can!! I pray God will bless us with answers/solutions but if they are to be found its going to be because we put AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST!! We are going the opposite way! When a person who's entered our country illegally gets nearly twice the amount of stimulus funds as an American citizen! And im ALL for immigration- so don't even go there! My fathers parents immigrated LEGALLY- and if I wanted to move to Europe I'd be expected to do it LEGALLY as well!! Theres no debate here!! This isn't debatable!! The debate in fact, i believe, is a NOT SO GRAND ILLUSION!! Shout out to German in Venice!!! I visited Venice Beach with one of my best friends in 2017. I found a beautiful city there & had SUCH A BLAST WITH MY FRIEND/SISTER! With the plane ticket cost of only $79 each way- id planned to return soon with my husband & son.. But unfortunately caught a case of sepsis blood infection & nearly died. By the time id recovered in 2018 & felt strong enough to return & finally do this trip with my family- i found it was too late! The homeless issue & crime in Venice Beach had built & mounted quickly!! Alarmingly fast!!! The trip never happened- we went off to explore Arizona instead! I pray for our homeless brothers & sisters!! If you think it couldn't happen to you- think again!! But just for now- ill watch whats happening in LA & Venice Beach via this amazing channel that has shown SO MUCH HEART & Soul!! Love to you brother!! ♥️🙏

Just like 1940s Germany

Then get your ass out there and start mopping don’t down those people you don’t know what it’s like too live like that

There homeless all over there I was there it unbelievable. It real sad. The same thing in sf homeless is multiplying so fast ot becoming ti look like a third world poor country and just trash everywhere

yep, A Country that can't take care it's most vulnerable people is in deep trouble..

Yes. But they will be GREEN cities.

Better keep that border open!

Hollywood has been like this for YEARS

It's already here.

I remember smelling urine outside amoeba.

Not all over the planet. At least not here in The Netherlands. I guess also not in Germany, Austria, Nordic countries.

Broken dreams for sure...

naive people

you walked all the way to san francisco?

Highway 5 or the 101 North?

Is sanfrancisco any better ?

Stayed on the 1 most of the time but I went to highway 101 till I got to Windsor.

San Francisco is worse, how did you make it to the top?

Likely they are full to capacity bldg code and would get fines if they over filled the shelter or get their license revoked , at a Salvation Army in St.Paul Minnesota it used to cost .50 cents per night it's different in various cities and states around the country in Murfreesboro TN Salvation Army was free but you had to attend church and they had day out side facilites with tables for cards and other activities .

Stay strong!

Debbie, I am so sorry you are going through that. Do you have a PayPal, Venmo.?

Prayers for you

In Jesus name I pray for you. I'm broke to. Sending 🤗 hugs love .

SENDING PRAYS AND A HUG. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.

Nobody cares its soo sad.😥😥😥

They have other choices. But drug addiction comes first.

Rich people they don't care about the homeless while they are living in there mansions in their gated communitys with guards 😢😢😢I mean they tell us the struggling poor what to do😒while they have clothes and jewelry that cost heaps that could help the homeless and rest of us has to worry about rent bills and having enough to but food in the table😢😢😯😯

Nah. Most of these people are junkies.

@@Gstunfisk interesting comment, spoken like a true person that’s embraces their ignorance, congrats.
