Mayors Los Angeles Nightmare Trash Homeless Encampments Skid Row 

if this pandemic was so deadly wouldnt there just be dead bodies everywhere in these areas? or even just filling the hospitals up with homeless people because they are the ones that are not practicing social distancing or cleaning their hands constantly.

The solutions to these problems are more than LA is willing to pay. They talk down to the rest of the country whilst they rot from the inside.

I’m in LA now. Trucker. Seen a younger girl so high and so gone it was heart breaking. I grew up in Baltimore so it’s not new to me but these are people, human beings. All you can do is make the help available. You can also be kind and look at them as actual human beings who have a tragic disease.

Well in Florida the prisoners do the street work with a chain gang so-called not really on chains but they keep the streets clean then some of them get on work release and some of them get other options it’s a way to pay back society and earn money.

With a collosal military budget that often goes down the drain,yet they cannot even afford to find a solution on these homeless people.what a shame..

Thank you Gavin for your policies! Please continue creating a Utopia!! To bad it’s a utopia for rats and bubonic plague

..Garcetti is a TOTAL FAILURE. So what happens to him??...He gets PROMOTED and gets a raise....There is something fundamentally wrong with our system..........

With all the taxes from weed sales there should be low income housing

Get rid of the tents as soon as they pop up. Do not allow overnight camping on the streets. Ban all palattes boxes skid from being assembled into structures.Arrest any drug dealers steam clean the streets.

I live in LA. What people dont understand is that activists dont WANT to get these people off the streets. They feel they have the right to live like this and there are laws in place to make it illegal to force them into shelter or rehab. We walk by these people and dont help because we CANT help, unless its to buy them food or tents.

Every one deserves a place to call home

Step one: Fire the mayor

Those tents needs to be removed. And criminals needs to be arrested. They should get help to find a job and build cheap appartment for them. You dont know how there situation was before they ended up homeless. We shoulnt not judge them. If you are losing your job and you cant pay the rent that's really terrible .It can happens to all of us. It's very hard when you are homeless and you have no future.

Why dosen't the Mayor hire the homeless to pick up trash they littered? Give them a hand up.

Get the f out. That my baby daddy’s stuff. Priceless!

Getting off of the drugs and getting a job, and stop expecting the government to fix this, is the solution....

Dammm it's really bad when you get kicked out of a homeless persons tent!!

This is like 3rd country, shame on mayor and Calvin newcomer, all of them should step down if they can solve this problem. Do something ..

The biggest problem with the Capitalist system is that it rewards success and punishes failure. There is no solution to the problem under the current system . The city can not afford to buy the overpriced real estate to build shelters even though the city has hundreds of unused commercial buildings. It is only going to get worse as long as people are allowed to camp on the streets.

The best things a City Council should pass.to.clean its CITIES are: 1. Ordinance banning loitering 2. Curfew on Minors 3. Putting all drug addicts in a rehab centers never let them be freed unless they are healed....so simple Ordinances yet effective in slowing drug dealings and crime but at the same time cleanse the cities...

very brave to walk and film in that place

Thanks for the upload. Skid Row is a night and daymare. Always a shocker to go there.

So THAT'S where all the millions and millions of dollars are going...an occasional porta potty, garbage can and handwash station...mystery solved...🤣

You take huge risks to do these videos for us. Your a true legend who deserves more credit. Thank you for everything you do

If cleanliness is next to godliness, Los Angeles should change its name to Los Demonios.

One of the most dismal things I have ever seen. I live up around Cincinnati Ohio. I can’t believe that they’re human beings in such conditions. Certainly not the LA that I am familiar with from Adam 12 TV series. Keep up the good work stay safe

Lord have mercy !!!! Never Know when this can be yourself.

well lets hope u never have to be homeless mate thats all ill say

This country's greatness is gone FOREVER !

No kidding.😳 Is this the American dream? I thought America is like heaven. Sad to see all this.

The homeless go to California cause of the warm weather

During the 1980's my high school friends and I would park our cars around Alexandria Hotel around midnight and walk through Skid Row and alleys...we would see a few crazy and memorable things. I remember not too many people were sleeping outside Skid Row, the few ones we did see were sleeping in cardboard boxes and shelters in the 80's. Almost 35 years later this well documented video shows an overpopulated homeless community that shouldn't exist...I'm in disbelief how worse it's become. My wife and I retired from the U.S. Air Force, we don't see too many homeless people in Virginia and West Virginia...most of them get Government State housing and U.S. Federal assistance to buy their own home. Where are the Government programs for Skid Row, California?!🤔 All 50 states need to get together and fix this problem...it's everyone's responsibility!🇺🇸

This is what happen when the country keep pointing fingers and waging wars on other country while neglecting their own people

This is beyond unacceptable! What, if anything, are elected leaders doing about this?

The result of Decades of Democratic Leadership rights before your eyes.

This is too big to be fixed. No back to normal. We'll be seeing things we don't want to see.

Same problems in Greece, nobody cares. Yet I keep trying. Love your little documentary well done.

shining city on a hill, welcome to AMERICA!!!

In other places , we have stray cats and stray dogs . Here we have stray humans .

there needs to be more diversity in homeless people

At around 12:30 mins, you can see a security guard sitting outside the door to what is probably a real business. And it looks like apartments across the street. So, you've got tax-payers trying to lead "normal" lives amidst the zombie-like people living on the sidewalks. Horrific.

No one has the right to live anywhere he or she wants, even the most rich ones. They should be given the choice between shelter, camp area or rehap. Nothing else.

Xinjiang China is very clean, safe and no homeless.

The rest of the country doesn't care! You made your own bed. Now sleep in it!

I live in North Clarendon,Vermont,2 miles south of RUTLAND CITY,VERMONT where I was born and raised and even though DRUGS are in RUTLAND CITY its NOTHING NOTHING like this MESS in L.A..our Govenor Phil Scott And our Mayor would NOT Tolerate it NOR ACCEPT THIS!! the homeless here in RUTLAND CITY VERMONT..get VOUCHERS to live in Hotel/ Motels up to 1 year for FREE...and after 1 year they are RE EVALUATED to see if and how their circumstances have changed And if they have for the better for example have a job and doing better then they either have to pay for the hotel/ motel themselves or move out so other homeless people can move in AND if their circumstances have NOT changed the VOUCHERS are extended for 6 more MONTHS AND my state also helps with Food stamps and finding perminate housing for the time they are living in a hotel/ motel.and one more thing you NEVER EVER see GARBAGE on every street like this in RUTLAND CITY..AGAIN it would NEVER BE TOLERATED NOR ACCEPTED by our GOVERNOR nor MAYOR.. MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone in the comment section and Especially C2..and your family and friends

The disrespect of the home less people in shame on the city of Los Angeles to let these home less people ruined the city

Notice the pair of AT&T trucks. They're working in pairs for safety reasons. Normally utility companies try to discourage this as it tends to be less efficient.

AWESOME FOOTAGE

These are the children and grand-children of every terrible thing allowed to exist forty and fifty years ago, when it was not so obvious. The inner cities were abandoned, and the working poor made powerless long ago, largely by policies of inaction and the designs of wealth and privilege. People who believe they know how to fix such problems are looking in the wrong places and blaming those who have never known much better for generations, There is no future enlightenment to be had, because there is no light. The truly wealthy do not live here -- or work here or play here. They are invisible monsters, living in castles by the sea or in the mountains, cavorting with mountain lions and bears and insuring their many mansions against forest wildfires and earthquakes. It is far too late to be awake. It is finished. Welcome to a little piece of the nightmare we all helped to create.

It's a disgrace how the mayor and governor let this happen california is such a rich state no wonder people leaving california.

Can you Imagine the desese in all that, ?

Manny years a go l lived in LA . On the radio late at night there was a call- in about how to solve the problem of homlesness. A mam called and said : We need to call them the OUTDOORSMEN ......

I live in Chicago. I’d like to come out to California for a few days; it’s been 10 years. I’m retired. I don’t need homeless and drunks and dope. I have that here. I’ll stay home.

Definitely a mess. Didn't used to look like that.

I was shocked on a freezing night to see a homeless, elderly woman in a n area I was moving to. What sort of depraved civilization was this. However, I tried to help her over a period of months and could not. She could speak and form thoughts like that one in the video, but was actually almost sub human. Immediate idea. They tear through trash looking for cans and half eaten food. City should wait until after that, then put out a few dumpsters and hire to clean up the secondary trash. Let all know it is a finished, picked over dumpster. It is not drug addiction!

Some people will look at this and think something needs to be done to help these people get back on their feet while others would say that they need some tough love. I kind of side with the realization that a majority of these people would rather live like this than live like normal people who go to work 5 days a week and have responsibilities and have to answer to the man. I doubt they would trade places with you if offered the chance. They can do what they want every day. Maybe they are the ones that have it figured out and we are the chumps. 🧐

Make prisoners clean these encampments up weekly so that it doesn’t cost tax payers any more money

I used to live in LA for over 35 yrs and moved in 2017 to southern Africa, last time l was in LA in 2018 homeless people broke into my rental car. The city l used to live in and love has gone to Shit.

The truth is-only God’s Kingdom can fix this problem. And it will along with every other problem in this world.

imagine strapping a go pro to a rat would be a very new way to see los angeles

I was homeless... But you dont have to STAY homeless. Most of this is by choice. Im sad but im not... We have to want to do better... We have to! We cant give up!

You can film this problem in most cities of the world.

Cali needs to be cut off of the U.S.!!

It would not have been the Los Angeles or is it?!? What happened to the nice boulevard and the nice gentle people there. Where is all the sea, sand and people in swimsuits playing in the sun? What happened to the California Dream and California is seen as a lucky place, a land of opportunity and good fortune?

What a wonderful view. 190k new cases everyday.

I don’t understand, I thought liberalism was for clean water, clean air, clean streets? Helping poor people? What gives? Thanks from.St. Paul Minnesota.

It should read california nightmare.

This is the real deal right Here . It's happening in our city to Detroit

In the old days Los Angeles used to be a destination now it's someplace to stay as far away from as you can

I've noticed that no one mentions the continuing soaring rents that are the cause of people losing their home stop pointing fingers at political parties. I do agree that people should have more than one source of income. That's fine. Saving money also fine. All easier said than done. People do want to work, L.A. is one of the more expensive places to live. It's why everyone & I mean everyone is moving out of that state including businesses. There is no easy solution.

In what part of the Middle East was this filmed?

Dear Los Angeles Mayor, 1) Raw Foods Raw Enzymes by Dr. Edward Howell. Ground placed in compostible bottles given to the hungry. 2) Clothing with simplified accessories. 3) Water, shower kiosks with proper filtration. Toiletries, all as close to organic as possible. 4) Workers Cooperatives maintaining kiosks. There's much more... Like debt forgiveness yearly... People reading, exercising. Looking to leaders... Donald Suiters

Rise and Fall of the US Empire

This is your Democratic government working hard for the tax payers! Heart breaking....

Even Grand Theft Auto is clean lol

Another fascinating but grim video from C2 France. Congratulations to the brave people who made it. No simple solutions. People should always be made aware of the fact that they could face the prospect of homelessness in their lifetime. From the moment we leave home /go to college we should be prepared. We should always try to have more than one source of income if at all possible. Failing that, we should save and save every day until we get a pension. Finally, let's be honest - very few people choose to go out to work, so making money will always be a problem for millions of individuals.

For one there are not enough trash containers secondly homeless shouldn't be allowed to be hoarders. Fine them with community service for t6he messes. Limit what they are allowed to have on the streets.

Failure of human rights and exposing cold and heath hazards. Failure of a Failed State. Please send SOS fir living in datkness

If LA authorities wants to fix this matter create a group of Ranger Patrol to constantly prevent homeless camping also make signs on every place where the homeless like to stay.

Los Angeles, where you can buy a home for 28 million up. But for the masses, poor payed work, decades of paying more and more rent for rubbish housing, housing in the renter's market were you have less to no rights, these are broken people, drug addicts , people who are sick of struggling. The divide today between rich and poor is MASSIVE, we all live in a divided society, it will only get worse. We all need affordable housing, by affordable I do not mean 3/4 of your income, I mean 1/3 if that. More rights for renter's , most renter's have paid for the entire property in a decade, if they stay, yet out they go at a drop of a hat. There is nothing else we rent or buy were you are dictated to so much as are homes.

Go about this enclave at night . . . under the cover of darkness - 'light some fires' ! THEN, maybe the Mayor may pay attention, to this ongoing, daily disaster ! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 😎 💀

All these homeless people are suffering from Mental Illness and/or drug addiction. The State Government need to take responsibility and lock them up in institutions and assist with drug and/or mental health treatment. These helpless people will all die from neglect if nothing is done.

It starts and ends with greed, high Tax , high rent, low wage, there is always an excuse for it but when you look into it , it just greed

We need to put up the wall around Cali. 🤮🤮🤮

Greatest country in the world....

Get rid of rotten politicians in LA

That ain’t shit. Try going under some bridges in LA!😳

You get what you vote for.

THIS WHY THE COVID VARIANT IS HERE THE HOMELESS AND THE VERY AIRBORNE TRANSMISSION IS CAUSING ALOT CONTAGION.WE REALLY NEED TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL BEFORE OR REALLY GETS WORSE.

Watch, there will be a big push to clean all that up before the Olympics.

Let. The. Pepole. In. Charge. Sleep. There

You've been told many times earlier that you, the US citizen, have waged too many wars. With easy calculation you have less than twenty years without war since 1776. Then where can you get the money?

I sympathise with the homeless but there is no excuse for their leaving such messes everywhere. Do they LIKE living in their own trash?

Tough love is needed for change!

Thank God in live in Chicago🙏 My home city is beautiful and affordable

C2, thank you for walking past the woman who was raging incoherently at 4:02, and then your turning around to record this heated out bursting. Documenting the total collapse of civility, so that others can view it, may lead to some kind of change, but how. This confrontational street life is as unsafe and ingrained as it is really mentally unhealthy and probably irreversible. I've worked in the inner cities; the dislocated / disenfranchised just move on ~~ taking their problems somewhere else.

This is why California's billionaires are moving to Texas

It would help if you started cleaning up first and start cutting off things and systems that enable bad behavior. people need a sense of pride accountability and direction. If they didn’t get it growing up it Hass to be somewhere. This is the way to function ability

This is where I’m living in California Los Angeles and I’m like where is all these people that go to work every day and pay taxes and then have this crap you know what I mean we need to help them and it’s like what are you guys doing in this world what is people doing just sitting on the couch

One could always learn from Japan, Denmark, Singapore, and Canada (Medecine Hat, Alberta). It's complicated, you can't just throw money at the homeless, or give them a place to stay, etc. There are a lot of mental health issues involved here and many addictions. Even those not addicted or never been diagnosed with any mental health issues are definitely going to have some issues after being homeless for some time ! It is very very hard for a homeless, unemployed person to re-adapt to the discipline of enduring the tight routines of having a job, they will feel like they are not free, especially if their new job involves a long shift, and let's face it, many of the homeless just will not be able to ever hold a job, because their "normal" mentality may be already be damaged, so YES, our societies need to be able to provide homes, food, clothing, etc to these people, but most importantly, they will need case workers to assist them and to oversee the programs, also to make sure they can take care of their homes, and not destroy, or turn them into garbage dumps. The bottom line is whether the people who have the power and the authority to actually do something,... WILL or NOT ! All I can do is donate to charities, but I am not a mayor, governor, senator, minister, or president !
