The real irony is that if any homeless person tried to camp out on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or any of the surrounding area, they would be carted away without hesitation. Celebrities love to virtue signal, but they also don't tolerate their 'nice' neighborhoods being trespassed. It's a fascinating disconnect. Most celebrities hate border walls, signal their sympathy for the homeless, fight to save the rain forest or combat global warming; yet when the chips are down, they retreat back to their giant mansions with a huge carbon footprints in a neighborhood with 24/7 police protection, gates and guards that enforce vagrancy laws.
Should set up those tent cities outside the gates to the rich Hollywood bums communities..see what oprah or Kimmel say when its thier driveways and sidewalks are the ones being shit on and used for crack meth and heroin addicts to share needles and sell thier buttholes for the next fix leaving used disease infested condoms for thier kids to find while playing on thier swing sets😂 I bet they'll want the firing squads posted at the gates😂
My biggest dream growing up was being able to skate along Venice beach and go to LA. I'd spend so much time depressed and sad because I could see it all on youtube and TV but I could never get there. Finally last year before my 23rd birthday I decided to book a trip to LA/Vegas and then finally Texas, all because I wanted to try some BBQ brisket I had seen on a food documentary. Shout out to Franklin BBQ! 3 days in LA was the worse trip I've ever been on. I swear to god I didn't speak to a single person except a homeless guy at Venice beach. No one gave a shit about you, food was so expensive. Close to Venice beach was this cafe, ordered a avocado sandwich not seeing the price and it come to 20 bucks. I didn't feel safe when the sun went down. Was hands down awful, maybe it was because I'm by myself, but my long childhood dream for years, crushed just like that. Vegas was incredible. Gambled maybe 20 bucks lol, but downtown was so fun with the music. Met some incredible people. But Texas, I went there with no expectations. just to try some bbq and stay for a few days. But I met the best people who are now my best friends today, had the best time of my life and had some incredible bbq. Honestly, the best place I've ever been too in my entire life. Austin and north of Dallas, a little city called Plano. Great memories. The first bar I visited in Texas, was a guy with a cowboy hat and called me out on having a nice watch. 5 Minutes later he's buying me a drink and inviting me to go shooting with him. I really hope Texas never changes. The rich who live in LA doesn't deserve the heart warming state of Texas. And I'm from the suburbs of London England.
That’s Good ol southern hospitality you don’t get anywhere else In USA . Had a lovely time in Texas myself. Had a whisky shot ,bacon strip and orange juice . Called it the breakfast shot!
Texas is done dude. It's getting 1,000 Californians and New Yorkers moving there a day. The idiotic lockdowns are also going to dramatically increase homelessness everywhere when the economy collapses. It's over for Texas and most places.
Ya Texas is going away from purple and towards blue in a couple of years. Tarrant county population grew by 40%. And it’s a chance they may be voting blue in primary red county.
Bye bye Texas. I live here but we all know these leftists will get their way. Soon everything will be censored all to hell. The second amendment will be gone and after that, the first will go bye bye as well. We already see Canada has banned hate speech
First time I knew about Ben Shapiro was when I watched a RU-vid video and I thought they had made some kind of digital distortion to his voice. Then I watched a second and third video and I was like “shiiit, his voice is real!!!”.
As a Australian my first time going to LA was not what I expected or saw on tv, Homeless people, crazy people and they kept asking me if I was British.
@kommisar there are a lotta street food vendors, or fast casual places that got michilin stars n shit. You'd be surprised. It's not all high end multi-course dining
Several years ago my son and I went to downtown L.A. to go to a shop in Little Tokyo. He was 12 at the time. While looking for parking, I turned the street and ended up driving through the heart of skid row. Several men on the street were shouting and attempting to flirt with me. My son looked surprised and said, “Mom, you attract men!” I laughed and was like, “Yeah, homeless ones!” 😂
I lived in san Antonio and Austin. homeless and panhandling bad their too. basically all big citys. half or more of Californias homeless are from out of state.
My favorite LA memory: I was sitting passenger in the car my mom was driving. We're passing by a grocery store parking lot where I am watching a man poop into his hand, gather it, and throw it at the wall in front of him. The poop stain was there for years.
Sounds like what's been happening in Texas for a while now. Austin has tons of homeless people with all the problems they bring. Other towns in central TX (& even Dallas/Ft. Worth!) have been buying bus tickets to Austin for their homeless & sending them...local governments know once the bums arrive in Austin, they're not likely to return. Austin has too many public services, church-funded pantries, etc. for that... It's called "Greyhound therapy".
Went on holiday to LA from the UK.Really was a shithole.So many homeless,overcrowded and literally saw a guy get mugged. Also everybody is so self involved
@@kenc.2448 dude just becaue someone or a group of people have a bad situation doesnt mean you can't make a joke about it. Plenty of people who live under unfortunate situations joke about to spread awareness or to show people they're people too etc. There's nothing wrong with it, get off this imaginary high horse, stop with patronizing passive aggressive bs and let people have a good laugh. Do you have a brain tumor? Is that why you're acting the way you are? If not then stop being upset and frankly annoying for a man who's been dead for a very long time.
Guys, I'm pretty sure Maxwell Lynch is honestly telling us he doesn't get the joke... because he'd like to laugh about it too. I mean, it's so obvious it's kind of sad he's getting bullied instead. Maxwell, the joke Ben makes about finding a man lying face down in the gutter simply alludes to Edgar Allen Poe being found delirious in the streets right before the writer's death. The details of why Poe was in such a destitute situation is surrounded in mystery probably not unlike the plot of the first Hangover movie. It's funny but more of a meer chuckle as opposed a knee slapping hee-hee-haw-haw.
Got a LA story for you. after filling my car with $4 per gallon gasoline i'm driving down the street when i get pulled over by a bike cop that was hiding in the bushes for going 5mph over the limit. as i wait for my $300 ticket less than 30 feet away from us there is a guy cooking & selling food out of a stolen shoping cart retrofitted with a propane tank. i get my ticket cop leaves & does a zig-zag maneuver to go around the shopping cart chef to get back to his hiding spot. i go home & make plans to move the heck out of LA.
Rent is due to high demand vs supply. Cali needs to clear the bums,crack down on illegals, and block outsiders from moving in. Let people leave, deport the illegals, ban public camping and you are already in a better position. Dems=idiots
@@californio1850 a good chunk of the illegals get there and find a way to obtain government assistance and NOT work. They have 12 kids with their wife who will also collect benefits. Drive to any govt housing in LA ... it is all Mexicans that speak zero english. Their trick is to get to America, have kids on American soil so that they can be considered American citizens, get a job that pays cash, file for govt assistance etc. An unfair loophole that should be shut. Check out Ron Paul's response to this. We need to be harder/smarter when it comes to illegals.
Nobody talks about how decrepid LA had become especially with our homeless problem the media is virtually silent on it, great to hear someone bring it up
the media doesnt talk about it because the homelessness and drug use is symptomatic of democrat policies. They would never point out the obvious and monstrous flaws in the leftist agenda.
dragonsder yeah unfortunately most of my dads side of the family moved up to Washington in the 90s but my dad and I are the only conservatives remaining in our part of town, although more and more of my friends, GenZ are turning conservative through RU-vid videos and stuff so there is still hope!
I was a kid in the 80's and remember going by Skid Row back then. At that time, the tents were just cardboard boxes. They were there since I can remember, but there weren't as many of them. I have also been there in the last 3 years, and it looks like a city of Mad Max extras.
@@chivoloks28 They are also sending them to small rural California towns, like the one I'm from. Those towns are "out of sight, out of mind", and don't usually have the resources to send them back, or don't care to.

There should be a game like "streets of rage"(2D) where you play as Joe Rogan who walks the streets of LA to buy a donuts while beating the shit out of homeless.
It’s funny that you guys poke fun at AOC when she’s one of the only people in Congress confronting large corporations for exploiting the working class. I forgot that the Right loves to be shills for billionaires though, so I guess it makes sense..
I don’t really see homeless in a warm climate as that much of a problem. They are there because that is what they want and I don’t think it’s some terrible existence like most people think. They literally have no bills no problems and the only thing they have to spend money on is drugs. Would they really be that much happier spending their entire day at work to live in a shitty tiny place that is barely better than a tent? They don’t get a job because they are happier without one. Until working all day for minimum wage is way better than just living outside in nice weather with no responsibilities then homeless rates won’t go down.
I moved from LA years ago , it’s my motivation to do better in life so that I never have to return, driving there is insane, trying to park is insane, trying to take a walk is insane trying to make a decent living and afford to pay rent is INSANE , sad place indeed 👎🏼
My sister moved there for her teaching credential. And is still there 5 years later. My folks and I can’t convince her to leave (nor can her LA friends). I loathe LA for your same reasons and more.
@@JBrotsis1 Yup, a few of our friends are just starting to leave finally. But most are digging in deep. It's a kind of depression I think to not understand that one has options.
I listen to Shapiro’s podcast on my forklift every night at work. I put him on 1.5 speed. He sounds like one of those chipmunks, but I can’t still understand him.
I just got back from LA. I live in Tennessee. The culture shock factor was on par with going to a foreign country on the other side of the planet. I didn’t know there could be that many homeless people in one place. I’ve also never seen anyone shit on a street before. Now I can say I’ve seen it multiple times! Woohoo
@@yujiro424 80% of Americans live check by check. 500k homeless. mental illness on rise. 22 veterans commit suicide per day. economy would be crashing hard if not for government printing monopoly money.

California has been on this trajectory since the '70s. It was the state that everyone wanted to move to, and they did. Cali doesn't have that much buildable land as everyone thinks considering its size. Its geography and shape make it very difficult. So eventually, it couldn't keep up with the demand and everything started collapsing. Rent increased, property values soared, wealthy foreigners started buying up property further exasperating the problem. Meanwhile, politicians like Nancy Pelosi and her husband made their fortunes off of real estate so they have a conflict of interest. I really hope Shahid Buttar unseats her this year. Her, the corporate Democrats and Republicans have no intention of helping the people.
Nonsense. The main reason for the lack of housing is bad zoning laws, not geography. 75 % of the residential land is zoned for single family housing units. This lack of density is the main driver of the homelessness in the region.
And now there is mass migration out of California to surrounding states which are being gentrified with luxury condos and rent is going up to where eventually the whole country will be like LA.
@@MichaelP-ke1tm when every other place fills up every corner of the country will fill up which is why we must protect our national parks and forests because eventually that will be all the greenery we will have left.
Had people been living responsibly and within their means they could have saved money and moved to another area of America where the cost of living and the salaries are comparable
The overwhelming majority of homeless people have severe mental illness or serious drug addictions. They are not average people who just fell on hard times. Yes, rents have skyrocketed, but that is a separate issue from chronic homelessness.
Southern California weather attracts homeless people. It's just a fact. But Reagan cancelling mental asylums in the 80s without a proper monitored replacement is what brought us to this. That and our drug problem.
It breaks my heart to see what CA has become. It used to be truly wonderful. It had already started its decline when I first visited in the 1980's, but I still dreamed of moving there. Now, I'm glad I never did.
It's taking over Texas now. Houston is falling apart but our governor won't do anything for it. The fact that more people are running out here is outrageous.
Actually homelessness (before COVID) was dropping in Houston but in Dallas and Austin is rising like crazy cuz a these people from California are moving here and screwing it up
I never considered austin a texas city, its basically little California where the failures flock with their horrible ideas to a place where they can ruin with their horrible ideas. Houston is also being infected with cali thought.
@Porsche Boxster Content definitely. Itd be an interesting clash of styles. I dont personally like ben as much as alex but they both have their flashes of brilliance along with low points. Alex's are much worse though.
Yo I lived right outside downtown LA for like 8 months, about a year ago. There were tents outside the apt building I lived in, and I walked thru dtla to get to work and I’ve seen someone just pull down their pants and take a shit on the streets in broad daylight smh!
He did it cause he doesn’t want to pay taxes but that still kind of a stupid reason to move to Texas. It’s always hot and their is a crazy homeless problem I’m every major city
@@scottabramo8953 There was a news article a few years back that some states were paying for bus trips for homeless people to these cities. I dont remember of the top of my head how exactly it was worded but it pretty much claimed that some states would just put homeless ppl in a greyhound and shipped them to CA. I have been living in LA for a better part of 11 years now and it was not this bad before, it definitely exploded which leads me to believe the article in question had some validity to it.
@Christina R yeah, which is one of the reasons I get kid of pissed when people say “oh look california is turning into a hell hole because of the homeless, take care of your homeless” and I’m like “...bruh they are not our homeless”. It has grown exponentially the past few years too, it’s definitely not normal as you can see from this video. I would understand if it was 2008 at the peak of the housing crisis but not anymore. I do think the mayors need to do a better job controlling the population though. I read as well that there was an initiative to provide gov housing at some point but not sure how that turned out. Besides, if some of these people are mentally ill, it’s unlikely they would take that out anyway.
@batty grrl keep voting Democrat. As I live nowhere near LA. Keep all the scum in the same place. As for what happen read some books. I like history books myself.
Yep close Pacific State Hospital and the crazy people make babies with other deranged people. Now we are dealing with them, their children, and grandchildren. I'm a conservative and 69 years old and NEVER like Reagan! PS at 69 I still work at least ten hours a day five days a week setting up cranes, driving heavy equipment, and moving it all with tractor trailers.
We had a young guy in his 20’s, liked by a lot of people, was walking down the sidewalk. A homeless person was walking down the same sidewalk towards him. Not thinking anything of it, he just continued on. But when the homeless guy was about to walk past him, the homeless guy cocked his arm back hit him square in the face. Because he wasn’t anticipating the hit, the young guy didn’t even get an arm up to block. He fell knocked out into the street, and a car ran over his head. Dead. Homeless guy later said he thought the young guy was talking smack about him, which might have been a hallucination. Most homeless people are harmless, but still, it is worth keeping your guard up around them unfortunately
some homeless guy was being loud as he slowly walked past my car, its typical behavior for homeless, I wasnt really paying attention, then i hear him kind of passively yelling things and totally felt him looking at me. He was talking about kicking someones ass for talking smack. He kept saying "you". i ignored it, but they do sometimes confront you with their thoughts.
You know thats really sad but here in San Francisco, several months back we had a young lady who got stabbed in the upper back by a homeless person as she was jogging along the embarcadero in the morning. Here things are different. The homeless mentally ill don't need an excuse and I'm sure the guy is probably out right now wandering the streets. Our DA lets thieves and violent offenders off the hook really easily here.
Whenever I see a jre clip notification on my phone my brain automatically says *the roe jogan experience* in that robot female voice from the intro lmao
I lived in my car (by choice actually) in LA for 2 years...The people that live in cars vs the people that live in tents or on the street are 2 completely different classes of homeless... I had a full time job and a gym membership (for showers, etc.) And chose to live for less money...The homeless on the street were drug addicted and crazy and most couldnt even take care of themselves!! They thought I was living like a king...
@@Avalanche2 I don't know if he voted for LA's rulers. But he was indeed a Bernie supporter. That means you're clueless, and I can make a rational factual logical case why that is accurate and true.
People get caught up in 9 to 5’s and the distractions that they fall outta place and get off track. Don’t go to California unless you have a real plan and funds to be secure.
@Jim I live an hour outside of NYC and I am there pretty often, I had no idea what homelessness is until I went to the west coast. Holy shit. West coast cities make NY look like the city of dreams. Sure there are homeless here and there hanging around in the subway stations, but I have never seen full tent cities under every underpass, human feces on every sidewalk, and used needles practically everywhere until I went to vegas and LA. crazy shit.
Right, and when your city leaders enable chaos and charge super high taxes, no developers will feel like taking the huge risk of building affordable housing.

Exactly. There's a group of people THOUSANDS in sample size who don't social distance, don't mask, haven't changed anything their lives for the entirety of this bs pandemic... and they're doing JUST fine. Not dying. Not even sick. Their groups are actually GROWING.
@@bustindustin959 When you actually look at the numbers, Texas has around 100k covid cases in a state of 30 million. It's good to take precautions, but if you never changed your behavior at all you're probably still not going to get it.
True, LA native here. Even the smallest apartment is ridiculously expensive. What they failed to mention is that LA’s own citizens have been priced out due to unaffordable housing. You go south to OC it’s just as bad. There’s no where to go except the desert for these people.
@@animedreammachine7123 that's a common problem across all US cities. New Orleans is full of luxury condos that cost 2k+ a month and the people that used to live and work down there in the tourism industry have been literally priced out of the area. America is in decay
The reason .... The cost of living has doubled and tripled over the last 20 years and the rate of pay has only grown less than a dollar during the same time. In order to just pay month expenses now it requires 2 people... Unless you have a very high paying job you can't do it alone anymore like you use to be able too.
Well that doesn’t hold true for this case though. California has been gradually raising its minimum wage for awhile now. Even back in 2014 the minimum wage in California was $9 an hour. It’s $12 an hour now
Not exactly... most of the people on the streets aren't there because of salaries or high costs - they're there because they're hooked on drugs or have mental issues. Having said that - you're right, it's way too expensive and the main reason I got the hell out of there when I graduated high school in the 90's.
When you say quality of life, could you explain furthermore what you mean? I’m just a curious Canadian who wanted to travel there this summer but couldn’t because of the pandemic. Thank you!
@@KunaevNS For tourists, it's a pretty dirty place and the sales tax is over 10%, so the fun isn't that cheap either. The mayor, Eric Garcetti, was also stupid enough to give some of the LAPD's budget to BLM, so don't expect to feel safe either.
@@KunaevNS i live here. the last year has been beyond horrific. you can still do amusement parks etc. when they open. but i wouldn't spend time on the streets in Hollywood etc. it was bad 5 years ago. like they were talking about encampments everywhere w junkies. drove by Woodland hills Marriot today and there's a sizeable encampment right on the side of the hotel. think you'd be happier w another destination.
No one’s leaving. Its cool to talk about it right now but I doubt any rich person leaves. Look at NYC same shit. People still stay and its still dope af for “fun” but not raising families (suburbs are best)
This sounds like seattle too. So expensive because of tech gentrification, but the streets are lined with tents and many crimes are essentially legal. And now the police are even being defunded and not allowed to do their job. I think forced rehab is necessary because drugs are at the root of a lot of the issues, but until there's new leadership Seattle will remain soft and the problem will persist. Homeless people go to jail, stay a few days, then are released and they keep doing bad stuff. As somebody who recently moved to a Dallas suburb after living in western washington my whole life, I'm amazed at how the cost of living is significantly lower (like 1/2 - 1/4 at least in regards to rent and housing costs) yet the entire area seems safe, clean, affluent, and happy. Please stay away people I don't want this place to turn into seattle lmao.
Hey BMonee, welcome to TX from Houston. Glad that you are enjoying your new home. Speaking of lower costs, how about no state income tax on your paycheck?
I remember my Mother took me to Skid Row in Downtown L.A. for the first time back in 1988, I was 12. At THAT time, it was used as a lesson to teach me that there's always someone less fortunate than you are. But back then, it wasn't nowhere near the total it is today. Like back then, there were gaps of space....every three blocks or every other block, you'd see maybe 2 to 3 tents. Cut to 1994, I'm working as an extra in a movie called, "Strange Days" in the area....and the presence was more. Cut to 2007 / 2008, I'm working at Dodger Stadium (not far from DTLA) and it's worse. But like Joe mentions, you saw it in DTLA mostly, with sprinkles of it in other areas. But now, it's damn near everywhere. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. It's deterioration is no joke. Definitely disappointing because it's been my only home city and now I'm not sure how long I'll stay in it.
A big problem is that LA has gotten too expensive; my grandfather bought a house in Hawthorne CA in 1990 for $120,000. He was a Mexican born immigrant spoke little English worked minimum wage his whole life and was still able to buy a house. This is something impossible now but anyway he sold that same house last year for $978,000.
@Chris Carlone Delusional. Govt. handouts only create more dependency. Our social safety net is as large as it has ever been and the problems are as bad as they've ever been. Socialism creates poverty, not eradicates it. All the leftist shitholes cause people to leave those areas for conservative run areas. California used to be a red state but now is a blue shithole. Leftist run cities always turn into garbage.
@Chris Carlone " The idea that somebody would apply for government welfare programs "just because" or because they want to game the system is an erroneous assertion at best, and a misinformed one at the least. " Obviously have never worked with people who explicitly try to game the government. Have never worked in a welfare office or knew anybody that did. You're incredibly naive to make such assertions. Let me put it to you this way, even I admit that I would try to game the welfare system if I could. If I could admit to such a thing, what's stopping anybody else with even less scruples? Social welfare creates dependency and disincentivizes work. Think about, why would anybody work for $20 an hour when they can pan handle for that much or more? You probably think that if you're entitled to welfare, any job that would cause a person to have an income that would allow them to qualify for such a program as unworthy and unfair. The very fact the welfare program exists means that the jobs don't pay enough. That couldn't be further from the truth.
@Chris Carlone "Have never worked with people who explicitly try to game the government." I haven't worked in the public sector. Are you saying you have worked in that domain? Empirical (personal) experiences don't necessarily mean that those experiences are true in all cases outside of the self. While they may not be true in 100% of cases, over the last several decades, the stigma of accepting welfare has nearly disappeared entirely while the reasons for accepting the welfare (because they can) has increased to a level that it is the majority of the reason. Just because someone qualifies for welfare and applies for welfare, doesn’t necessarily mean they need it. Some social welfare programs really are created to undermine private enterprise while the rest were created under the guise of being temporary and for only those who are suffering the most. Disregarding motivations for these programs, like most govt. programs, they create poverty because they create dependency. You’re strongly encouraged to work less than your full output because your benefits will disappear if you don’t. It’s similar to unemployment benefits where some persons will work just until they qualify for unemployment and then will get themselves fired in order to then receive that unemployment until it runs out. People who can game the system will do it, I know if I was in the same situation, I would. I can’t take advantage of the programs because I make too much money. If you’re starting off from the bottom making nearly minimum wage, you would have to make 3-4X minimum wage to not qualify for any social welfare programs. To get maximum benefits, you have to have a maximum income of 300% of FPL. If you make 350% of the FPL, you will be worse off. Read this: digitalcommons.oberlin.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1382&context=honors It provides a solution to this ‘wealth trap’ that the current welfare system creates. "The very fact the welfare program exists means the jobs don't pay enough." Most people do not earn minimum wage, people who do only do so for a very short period of time, it amounts to only 2% of the entire working population. Minimum wage should not exist because it kicks people out of the labor pool like those in High School or those who are learning on the job. Anybody doing a job that is worth anything is going to be making quite a bit above minimum wage. I know more persons who make minimum wage or very close to it who live comfortably than those who make several times minimum wage who are struggling to survive. Most people who get into fiscal messes brought it upon themselves and continue to make the same mistakes who then teach these bad behaviors to their children and the cycle continues. Our schools have completely failed at teaching people how to function as working adults and most parents have abdicated that responsibility (likely due to their own failures) to the govt. so no one is responsible and nothing gets done.
It's the same for both parties! The south is filled with a bunch of Republican states and they make up the top 10 states with the highest poverty line!
If Reagan didn't kick these people out of the mental hospitals and kept up JFK's Great Society Program, we wouldn't be in this mess. All that money that could have been spent on our own population was wasted fighting the crumbling Soviet Union, because a death laser in space is much better than actually having to take care of your citizenry.

I currently live in Long Beach, once one of the most dangerous areas of LA county during the 1990’s... Now covered in Gentrified apartment buildings costing upwards of $5,000 per month. How can people afford to pay $5,000 per month for an apartment that is quite literally surrounded by homeless people as soon as you walk outside? By far one of the weirdest and most economically unequal places I’ve ever lived. And the brainwashed people here think where I came from in the South is messed up 😂
Isn't that only true in downtown Long Beach though? I was born and raised in North Long Beach across from Jordan High School, there's no hipster apartments there.
Jonathan Yeah Downtown LB is the worst by far. I’ve never seen anything like it. Some of the richest people in America living with the poorest all around them. Something needs to be done before the rest of the country ends up like this
