You would have to be on thee other side of the fence to understand!! Don't judge them the maddness has gotten worse homeless more then ever cuzz of this economy their people to that had sumting now they have nothing!! Don't judge blame your self not lifting a helping hand instead of holding a damn camera these are people that use to have!!

its like they like collecting stuff yet I don't understand why they need all that stuff where they can have a roof over there heads instead of being on the street.
It's called hoarding while homeless. A phenomenal mental issue sweeping the nation, yep it eventually gets swept away if not taken by individual hoarder.
With rent so high I believe people are working and can't afford apt. It takes a while but should get on housing list. I've been in substized for 20 years. Can't afford regular rent. And it's still hard.
@Roberto Souza I've been a homeless addict before. I'll be the first to tell you that 75% of these people just don't wanna do what they have to do which is get clean and better themselves.
I'm living in Africa and home invasion is the order of the day.Being elderly I pay to have small chores done .Biggest mistake.Once these MF congregate amongst themselves and gossip what's in your property ,you life will be in danger. Their plan is to make your home their for free.The mastermind is always scouting for soft targets, this person is well to do with business.
Yes I feel sorry for the home owners who’ve spend good money to live there and then have to deal with this is insane..Sure they don’t pay taxes for ppl to sleep at their front door
Thank you City for cleaning all this mess up. To remind us that this is not a proper way of living and how unhealthy that way of living is. It’s a reminder for homeless people too. So thank you to all the workers. 👏
Not what this person was saying. You know it is wrong for these people to live this way, it disgusting the political people are using the homeless as paws. You really think Polosi cares about any of these people??? Only if it stops lining her hubby's pockets! The government is abusing these people!!
Sooner than soon a lot of us is going to wish we had a tent to live in. Things that are coming up on the earth as things get worse is going affect us all. Because I own my home and car today I don't know what world effects are going to effect me later. True statement, you know where you been but you don't know where you got to go.
I would not argue with these people. Make them leave or lock them up. The city does not provide free living on the streets. They have so much junk and leave a mess.
People have to live what do you expect? Maybe let’s get a acre or 2 and fence it in and let them set up camp there, doesn’t that sound like a problem solved? I think so
@@ThatWrapperDude the City of LA just has to loosen building codes for homeless camps and build some slums. Make public camping zero tolerance. Slums are ugly but jeez better than all your sidewalks covered in junkies.
@@ThatWrapperDude The state of California should purchase hundred thousand of shipping containers put them in desert cities like California city, Mojave, Amber to house the homeless.
I live in a fairly small town compared to area like Venice Beach. Recently the town cleared out a homeless camp and hauled away 90 tons of trash and junk.
They brought bums to the nursing home I work at. The bum can walk but refuses to use the bathroom. He shits and piss on his bed. A 60 year old Mexican cna had to clean up his shit and if she complains she is discriminating against bums.
It’s about time, this homelessness is getting out of control, it’s trashing our cities and making it unsafe to live here. We can’t even bring our kids to the parks anymore.
I think that is what homeless normally do.. but the pandemic had created a very difficult situation that was abnormal and made survival for homeless much more difficult. resources that would normally be available were not available.. and that includes for the housed as well.. but the housed had a home for refuge. For example of many many examples.. gyms shut down.. banks closed their doors to access by customers. restaurants shut down.. and for 2 plus years we didn't know when or how things would shift .. would things get worse or better and how?? there were frigtened people on the streets.. public transit shut down.. and civil servants were afraid.. and they denied service to the public.. they discriminated and could get away with it because there was no one to stop them.. and people lost their homes because landlords could get away with it.. landlords could harrass and discriminate and unlawfully do things to get tenants out and make them fearful for their safety so they would leave. where we are at now.. hopefully, is that the pandemic is behind us.. and we are like in the post 1994 earthquake (except this pandemic earthquake has been going on for 3 plus years) and we are trying to recover as a society/community. I hope the police get the emotional support they need to along with their crews of social services staff while working with thos injured during this pandemic and trying to clean up the city.
They want free phones, a free check a food card, but they don't want to go to any shelters or anywhere else where they aren't allowed to do as they please. Especially anywhere that won't allow drugs or drinking.
My friend in San Diego told a new thing homeless doing. They are stealing and no consequences if caught. And they are taking something and tell people to buy them these things. I wish I was lied about it, bur she lives and has to walk around for buses.
Call your local shelters and get a shock at the lack of places mate. I'm a single woman and when I had no where to live, there were no shelters with places open. I should have been one of the first priorities, but women with children come before me, and those alone had the shelters full up. Time to stop buying the narrative you're sold about those in poverty being the sole cause of poverty, homelessness, etc.
@@thomasbattis9574 You must be one of them dumb lefties in democratic shithole state 😂 It’s people like you who created the homeless problem by voting for democrats and when democrats gets in power, the rich gets richer and the poor gets poor. That’s why california has the most homeless population AND everything cost way too much.
Love how the homeless act like it is rude to ask them to move for a city sanitation crew to clean, public sidewalks. How about the disabled person who has no access due to the homeless taking over the sidewalks? Or people who live in or around the area, no access, ....
America is too lazy and greedy to help create affordable housing for its slaves. So lets open the border and add to the problem. America is being destroyed from within and the dumbed down sheep are none the wiser and could care less.
And then you got the guy in the red shirt broadcasting his self-perpetuated disdain and he should've been trying to get his important documents together.
They can't Cali Supreme Court said, they can only clear out an encampment if the cities offers alternative housing. and that costs money people simply don't want to pay.
What's going to happen is they're going to go out and smash-and-grab again and steal what they want. They have nicer clothes and shoes and I do. And instead of helping clean the s*** up he's running his loud-mouthed so everybody can hear out downtrodden he is 🧟
@@jessea3165hahaha every city offer alternative housing, it’s not permanent. They’re just shuffling them from one area to another. What would you do with these people?
The police should have brochures of where these people can find a job - like the Career Link Offices, where they can stay-half-way housing, shelters, and where they can find food- soup kitchens.
They do, We spend Billions on the homeless here. They are offered housing & services..many do not take it because , They don't want to follow the rules & can't do drugs while in housing , living on the streets is their lifestyle. The ones that end up in housing destroy them due to drugs & mental illness.
I live in the city of Hawthorne and there's a small park adjacent to the Hawthorne Senior center on the north side of El Segundo Blvd, east of Prairie Avenue- about 6 month ago, a group of homeless IDIOTS decided to pitch up their tents at the same time that employees of the Senior center started reporting some vehicle break ins- The Hawthorne police dept IMMEDIATELY ran them off, they posted signs saying that the property was NOT a sanctuary for the homeless and anyone caught residing there would be arrested and prosecuted for TRESPASSING- and NOW the city has passed a law that makes it illegal to park a motorhome on privately owned property- THIS is how u handle the homeless crisis- KUDOS to the city of Hawthorne and their police department
@@flyerbob124 and the Hawthorne PD have also stepped up their game as well - I used to live in El Segundo and when I first moved there, I heard their police department had a reputation -?? Not really- I actually had a conversation with one of their deputies and he described it by asking me to define the phrase "bad neighborhood" - he said the city earns that reputation because the police department and the city officials aren't doing their jobs - I've nicknamed the Hawthorne pd calling them the RAT PATROL which was one of my favorite TV shows - I'm so glad to see all those extra SpaceX tax dollars being put to good use-

I'm from the East Coast. Philadelphia to be exact. We have a huge homeless problem as well as taking very large drug problem. Most of our homeless are in one area Kensington and some other scattered sites throughout the city. I myself had problems finding housing that was either affordable or close to work and or in a decent neighborhood. None of these three criteria were met so I'll end up buying a RV. I'm parked next to a public park out-of-the-way and taking up no space nor anyone's parking spot. I'm discreet and quiet and I don't make a mess I go to work everyday. I'm one of the lucky ones. I've been chased a few times before I found this spot and the police officers in this video get the gold star for their behavior and patience. I've been chased by police and had a sergeant make me cry because I couldn't get out of this place I was in and the neighbors would just complete a-holes. Anyway I digress. I don't understand how all of this trash has accumulated and the point of Gathering somebody possessions when you have nowhere to put them. I've been living like this since the end of April of last year. The Winter's been mild so I am lucky. I hope things get better for everyone.
@Albo alt absolutely nothing available in any part of the city. I'm in my fifties so having roommates is not on my my list of options haven't had done that enough times to regret it. Someone always wind-up carrying the weight of the others. I keep looking and there really is nothing in the areas of the city that I would like to reside. Also I have to factor in my lack of vehicle. I can't spend paychecks worth of money just in travel. Anyway I am going to get corrective surgery for my cataracts pretty soon and I'll be able to drive this behemoth. But until then it makes no sense right now since I outright own this thing to have to go and pay rent or a mortgage. I got property on wheels. I've become accustomed to scaled-down living and I actually enjoy it now. I'm close to work and I get along with The Neighbors I am clean and neat I don't party I don't make noise and I put my trash out on trash day. So far so good.
@@keytimebill1478 moving was the problem. I was living with housemates and they got sick of the city so decided to take advantage of the housing market being a seller's market. So I can't blame them. I had a year-and-a-half to look and look I did. I live in Philadelphia which is a crap hole run by ignorant morons who failed special education class. There were no available residences literally no residences. The neighborhood in which I was residing at the time in my search with three different realtors and my online searches I found one property and it was a house for sale a small bungalow if you will a 2-bedroom house that was probably between 900 and 1000 square feet the asking price was $ $400,000. That wasn't going to happen. As for rentals there was nothing available. Some places in North Philly that will roach-infested and crime-ridden and I lack the melanin to fit in. My only option was to buy the RV. I've become adapted to small living and I've come to enjoy it. Like I said I don't make noise, I don't make a mess, I'm cordial to the neighbors and I put my trash out on trash day. They see me go to work everyday and they see me come home like a normal person. So far it's been cool. I do elder care and I do hospice work, the woman I currently care for is 96 and has dementia. Her family's has her money by power of attorney and I know for a fact they will not put her in a care facility because that would eat up her money. So I've got job security. She'll probably live maybe another two years and in the meantime I plan on saving all the money I would use for rent and for a mortgage as well as utilities. This will give me the ability to be truly independent financially. So it's kind of a win-win. I'll move when the next job comes to

why should Californians have to pay to house the homeless coming from all the other states (which they literally send to us in buses)? Dogsh** states who instead of trying to help their homeless decide it's more beneficial to them to entice the homeless into going to California because "they give you free services!"
Ya just give them your house! They put these bums in nursing homes! They order the nurses around like they are entitled. Imagine a bum so lazy they won't use the bathroom. Shits all over the bed and a 60 year old cna from Mexico has to clean it! The bum can walk he does it on purpose
I am sick right now. I have fever and i can't breathe good. My whole body hurts. At least i have a small but comfortable home with a heating system and medicine. I can cook water for my tea. A clean toilet is next door and i can lie down on my sofa and watch tv.
THIS YEAR I PAID $45,000 IN TAX. THAT TAX MONEY PAYS FOR SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESS. RIGHT NOW ANY HOMELESS PERSON CAN GET A BED AND 3 MEALS A DAY AT THE SHELTER. BUT THEY CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE STREETS TAKING DRUGS, STEALING FROM US, MASTERBATING IN FRONT OF SCHOOL KIDS, DEFECATING AND PISSING EVERYWHERE. REMOVE THEM FROM OUR LIVES SO THEY STOP TERRORIZING US. CLEAN UP SANTA MONICA NOW.
@@markspencer171 That's a bit the Trump way but i can understand the argumentation. All American states must change their laws. It's illegal to sleep anywhere in public places. Everywhere. Then you have to offer shelter places with no limits. The homeless don't go there because they consume drugs and that's not allowed in government facilities. It's a big problem.

The man in the red tee shirt, yelling "We are at the top. We need to take care of our own!" Reminds me of the story of the grasshopper and the ants. The story goes there was a grasshopper who spent the summer dancing and fiddling on his fiddle singing "🎶The world owes me a living. I sleep all day but that's all right🎶". The ants on the other hand spent the summer gathering and preparing for winter. When the winter hit the poor grasshopper would have died except for the ants took him in and took care of him. At the end of the winter the grasshopper had a totally different new attitude he went around singing "🎶I owe the world of living. I work all day but that's all right 🎶." These homeless people remind me of that grasshopper that thinks that the world owe them. Only that grasshopper was smarter than these people he learned that if he's going to survive he's got to work for a living.
@@adjudicator4766 I know this might sound harsh but it stands to logic to put your money together or move to a place where you can afford.

But life doesn't owe you or me understanding. We have to either pick up the pieces and figure it out for ourselves or forever living in suffering.
i would bet money that 99% of incorporated towns / cities have laws against camping on public property, you can however camp on state forests in some states with a permit.
@@mohamadabdul4391 I was homeless for a month some of these people can get help but they choose this life because they can put any of their stuff where they're going most of it is all trash so stop I use to work for a homeless outreach and all they want is to do drugs n get high 🙄🙄🙄
Took my family on a 48 state trip back in 2020 and couldn't believe how nasty some of these cities are. California was the worst. You can't even enjoy the cities for the homeless. Passed out on the sidewalks, puking, doing drugs right in front of everyone, pissing right on the sidewalks or sides of buildings. Tents as far as you can see. While staying at a hotel in Kansas City, MO I got up early and went for a walk and outside there was a man in a hospital gown walking up the sidewalk busting out the windows of every car. I called the police and when they arrived I had to show them where the guy was, he was passed out right by a car he had vandalized and they just ignored him. They were literally 10 feet from him pretending to be looking. Then told me if they arrested him he'd just be right back out. I understand people have misfortune but most of these people don't want to be productive citizens, they are drug addicts and alcoholics. You can't even eat out in public in most places for them coming up while eating wanting cash. Almost every gas station I got out at to refuel I got approached by people wanting money. The Gov should create a work farm for these people and round them up and make them earn their keep, pay them a wage, provide onsite housing and they could sell the food they grow to sustain the farm. This would be the leg up for those really wanting a new start to life. But the reality is most of these people are just trash and don't want help, they only want cash for their next high. There's a reason they are homeless and most are because they have already burned through their family and friends because their habit was more important than being productive.
That's what happens when you're young, and don't want to work,when you get older, you'll end up homeless. They gave him plenty of time to get his blanket and bar bell.
These people get comfortable and don't want to leave..they hoard crap & there are no consequences 😒 😑 😕 they are not ALL bad people , this is getting out of control !
I’ll never be able to afford a house in Malibu, but if I have a tent, I can live there? Horseshit!!! Take a flamethrower to those tents, let them go live in the woods.

@@jennifercox1935 Feel free to help. I promise you that most of the cops have tried countless times to help. When someone finds it easier to sleep in a tent than work 40 hours a week to pay for home and a piece of mind this is what you get. That dude hollering nonstop I promise you he has been homeless for over a decade. In his head he is not homeless. He just has different rules he thinks he needs to abide by. No one forced those people to put up tents and other living spaces in front of homes and businesses. He chose the location because of 1 reason. It is convenient for them to get to and from their drugs and what not.
Everyone who's homeless don't want to be homeless. biblically soon approaching not only are people going to be homeless but watch what you say because famine is really going to make a whole lot of us think twice when it start affecting us fortunate ones....and it will.
This is the city, free walk and ride not for slipping or relax on the streets???? They have to respect people pay taxes to live on property all clean!!!
Does anyone feel like me that this is so outrageous? That people can just the face a city like this? I grew up in Santa Monica, which is next to Venice. It was never ever like this.
Exactly clean up the streets there are shelters and maybe the city needs to do more with homelessness but the solution was never to let them sleep on the streets like this
I'm 62 and I work 5 days a week, in fact some people have commented that I do a lot more work than many of the 20- and 30-somethings there - you know, the supposedly "able-bodied".
All that trash and garbage they leave behind is what bothers me. It would be one thing if they just have a tent, their clothes, sleeping bag inside.. But, looks like a lot of furniture all sorts of trash on the sidewalks.
Yeah but there is shelter help but .those have curfew aswell as other rules no drugs or alcohol use so these people don't want that plus they are dirty and disrespectful AF!
f that there problem is not my problem now lets go back 10 years of there life im gonna assume spending 10 a day at starbucks, paying rent for years and never gonna own a house, drugs, brand name clothes, its there own fault where you end up in life is your own problems, and why dont you give all the homeless people free rent at your house if you gonna do something about i bet no so words dont mean anything unless you do something about now go do something about it
They were definitely very patient with the african american man. He was the one they let stay the longest, I was watching when he was in the background. They explained the time limit and he said "well i wont move let the chips fall where they may." Pleasantly surprised by their patience - as a european all we know are horror stories in regards to the homeless - whether it's between themselves, or from the law.
I don't understand why the City of Venice doesn't just pass a city ordinance that prohibits camping within the city limits. I was a Police Officer in Florida for 25 years and the city I worked for had just that ordinance. No camping either in a tent or trailer, nothing, 11pm to 6am 7 days a week. Solves the problem. Yes you are moving them but allowing this is creating a much larger hazard and should be dealt with. Unbelievable they come in and I guess Clorox the place and they all go back.
@@GUITARTIME2024 true even being a part of LA is big. It could be a city ordinance but police would have to arrest every violator and that seems a hill too far. I was a Police Officer for 25 years in Key West and it is only 4 miles by 6 miles across. But huge ban on camping of any kind. Even the random big RV trying to stay overnight in a parking lot. Nope they had to go over the bridge to Stock Island. I worked night shift and it was a pain but I get why the City did it. Small place and if you let anyone do it the place would be over run. But it is still horrible to see Venice Beach like that. Unfair to the business owners and workers have to deal with that. I would never live anywhere that a homeless problem like that but that's just me.
they have an ordinance. but LA county has not done anything substantial to address homelessness or affordable housing and the problem only gets worse year after year.

Looks like a great concept in CA. Let the homeless litter and leave there camps to be cleaned up by ethical working class people on tax payers dollars. Totally makes sense. And then toss it all in the landfill. How to make for a greener CA. Government Nitwit Newsom and his colleges keeping that perpetual wheel spinning.
This is the true problem with the homeless. It’s not as much of the tents. It’s the trash and makeshift shelters blocking the sidewalks and streets. It’s the unsanitary conditions. Nobody wants to see people suffering on the streets, but just because you have drug and alcohol issues, does not give you the right to take over public property.
Cities need to become private operations, giving the people ultimate control over who gets to stay within the boundaries. Giving the police the authority to remove a relocate the degenerates out of the city limits. These places are becoming out of control cesspool's where criminals and drug addicts have more rights than property owners.
@@bobturner177 I responded to the wrong person with my last comment. These homeless people have no right to ruin peoples businesses and scare off tourists.

I left Brentwood 30 years ago. All my children were born at St. John's hospital. I don't recognize those streets. The people of California need to stand up to the state government. Stop enabling drug use and homelessness.
It's just like the squatters in Manila the capital of the Philippines. Huge sanitation problem. If you're a pedestrian you have no access to the sidewalk.
Are you kidding?? Its NOTHING like Manila...I've visited the city tons of times and although its a poor city and you do see people hanging out on the streets, they are not camping on the streets, nor pissing or sh*ting on the sidewalks or streets. Most of them have homes. The homes they stay in may not look like the typical homes you see here in America but most of them do have somewhere to go. What you see here is totally different. Its a health hazard to allow people to camp out on the streets
They are completely furious of course. Some states have even sued their local councils, for a refund of their council taxes. Brcuse the homeless tents NIT only create an enormous amount of filth but they shoot up deficate , harrass their customer and the business owners. But they steal from them as well. One business owner has had some junkies throwing his own shit at him. But it's not just business owners vthey completely right in front of luxury apartments!!!
This is just disgusting. Stricter penalty for illegal settlers must be enforced without exception. A program should also be in place to prevent this from recurring.
This is kinda pointless though. The homeless are there just waiting for the police and sanitation crews to leave so they can set up their makeshift homes again. Slowly but surely itll all be backup just like it was.
The red shirt guy and his girl neighbor stayed for the drama. "Victim banter" with the authorities is the language they know. It's the skill they've refined. What's ironic about insisting on victimhood is that you NEVER win, because, after all..., you are the victim.
