It’s mind blowing that their answer is to issue tickets, instead of finding a solution, perhaps building parking lots for rv’s, vans and people who can’t afford an apartment or a house.
Most states, are cracking down on Rv's. Because, they don't pay land and house taxes.. the states can't make no money off of them... that's the whole thing, in a nut shell..
@@jennis4018 We shouldn't be forced to adapt to corporate greed that is at the crux of the issue. Instead, we need to get involved at a local and national level to deal with the giant investment management companies that have been sweeping up properties all over the country. First time home buyers are priced out of the market and affordable apartment complexes become unaffordable under these companies. They will suck the middle class dry.
Its called vanlife... We aren't homeless. We are refusing to be slaves to landlords who raise rent to a point where our entire income goes into someone else's pocket.
Absolutely 💯 Correct I'm in Riverside California and Live Periodically in My Car and Sometimes in a Motel for a Nice Shower or Sleep I am totally with you on being a Slave to Landlords or Corporations just taking my money 💵 and leaving me Broke to try to figure out how I'm going to pay next month's $1800 Rent .. I enjoy Living in my XB it's Comfortable and Plenty of Room and I get to Travel and Enjoy Life. As long as you're clean no drinking 🍻 or Drugs or 420 .. you've done nothing wrong but just park somewhere and fall asleep till the next town.
As I watch this, I am settling in for the night in my vehicle in a Nevada parking lot. I am house less, not homeless. The nomadic community is a different “neighborhood” than a homeless encampment riddled with drugs and crime. I’m a widow, mother and grandmother making the best financial decisions to sustain me long-term, without being a burden to my family or community. This lifestyle gives me financial freedom to travel. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs, never been arrested, paid my taxes, and attend church in the various towns in which I find myself when Sunday rolls around. The area around my vehicle is left cleaner in the morning than it was when I pulled in. I so appreciate the few businesses that allow me to tuck into a corner of their parking lot to safely spend the night. I would anticipate that the numbers of nomadic people and families will do nothing but increase in the coming years. Perhaps instead of passing judgment our communities and places of worship could consider opening an overnight parking area for nomads just like me. I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the folks with whom you would come in contact if you should dare speak with one of us and perhaps with that brief association your understanding of a different life path would deepen. Many nomads volunteer helping other nomads and those less fortunate. Nomads help to keep clean our BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. Likely you interact already with some of us and don’t even know it. This segment of my journey through life has been rich with blessings.
If the 'houseless' didn't leave their garbage and crap all over, it might be different. You see an RV, you see a pile of garbage right in front. You see a tent, you see a pile of garbage....so???
Is this a joke report ? That is what Nevada is calling a homeless encampment ? That looks pretty damn neat and clean to me, in the Bay Area we wouldn't even complain about a encampment that looked like that. Those people have cars and RV's and from what I am seeing are super clean. If you want to see what real homeless camps look like, try San Francisco or Oakland.
@@catherinerodriguez4598, Democrats will find a way around that. If they can enroll in school with a questionable status, voting won't be a problem. You need to stop watching CNN.
It has been reported that rich corporations have been buying up housing, even single family homes, jacking up the sales prices, and raisng the rent they charge therefore contributing to higher rent rates overall. It's such an issue in many parts of the country that the traditional young family has been unable to own their own home.
The dream of home ownership has practically disappeared for some folks! There are families with both parents working 10 hour jobs that are unable to pay rent in a decent neighborhood. Some people that work from home move from place to place but actually live in vans,cars and campers and the like. It's a jungle out there and people survive any way they can! The government isn't trusted by practically any sane person. Who you gonna trust?
The state of Nevada should have a designated place for these people to park their cars or vans. There are going to be more working middle class living in their cars thanks to the politicians who DO NOTHING about raising wages to keep up with the cost of rent!!! BUILD MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING!!! Take care of your people.
These people talking and complaining are the ones that out price locals and Nevada did Zero to keep homes affordable, now pad yourself on the back for turning Nevada into San Francisco without the beach.
@@anthonymartinez4307 its not the government's job to keep homes "affordable" in a free economy. Its the people's responsibility to elevate themselves by working or studying to increase their earnings. Try Cuba or China instead.
That neighborhood that you're showing across the street from that "encampment"? It wasn't even there 5 years ago. Most of the homes directly across the street from that spot were only built in the last 18 months, and the ones on the extreme western edge are still being built out. That spot has been a hugely popular boondocking spot for the nearly 15 years that I have lived nearby. This guy in the video is a typical affluent and privileged person who moves into a newly developed area and then complains about the existence of things that were there long before he arrived. I have absolutely no problem with the people boondocking there in the cooler months. I park out there to hike up the trail going up that ridge, for the combined beautiful views looking out toward Red Rock on one side, and towards the Strip on the other. I have never seen a problem of trash, or noise, or drinking, or anything else. I see people who enjoy the land and respect the land, and who aren't bothering anyone but the affluent Chads and Karens.
This story is more like former Nevada renters bother current nevada renters fortunate enough to still live in an overpriced apartment or own a home. Treat these people well and maybe you won't be treated like the plague when you become homeless right next to them. And yeah-while your at it, kick them in the shins with fee's and fines.. and why don't you just confiscate their only shelter- throw them out in the elements- LAS VEGAS MAYOR CAROLYN GOODMAN AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT DO NOTHING TO HELP THE VOTERS UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY! If you want to help - give them a zone where they can safely park and sleep and dispose of their trash so they can get to that LOW PAYING job their holding onto! This is a way to help struggling business owners keep their businesses too!
My cousin was renting a 2 bedroom apartment on Tropicana for $700 💵 till some corporation bought the complex and kicked everyone out under the guises of remodeling, then jacked the rent up to $1700 per month. I bet these people living in their cars suffered the same fate. Crazy times we’re living in 😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
That happened to me back in 09. I said Fk u and moved into my moms basement. Been here ever cence as I wasted the economy jobs and everything else slowly be destroyed to socialism fascism and Marxisum.. I knew what was comming in 2015. I had a really good idea what might come in our future?..
There should be a limit on how much rent you can charge- I don't care if it's big money talking - if it leads to homelessness then you are charging too freaking much
I was living in Nevada and making great money but had to live in my van for a bit because there was zero housing available other than shady hotels that were not safe. Nevada also needs to have more housing that is pet friendly. It’s nearly impossible to get a place that accepts pets.
Same here in Southern Oregon🐶Also here some prop owners are asking for 3x the anount of rent in monthly income. $1650 rent (or more) × 3=$4950.00 in employment proof each mo. 700 credit scores. Like what is really going on Nation Wide?
May God have mercy on the homeless. It might be an eyesore to those who are comfy in their homes, but they should show compassion. Many of those who are in their cars used to have homes too. Be careful how you treat those who are down on their luck it might be you in that position one day. Never say never.
The difference between those living in the cars and those living in the houses is one paycheck. Do not be fooled by those who are homeless because you lose one job, somebody gets sick, or another pandemic happens and you'll be glad you have a car. Instead of looking down upon somebody who's gone through a worse situation than you have, help them and let us grow the society back to what it once was and not what it is becoming.
🤔 How many homeless people have you personally housed? Most people are out of touch because a majority of these people don't want to come off the streets. In the same token no one is looking down on someone because their homeless, you can be homeless that doesn't mean you get to leave trash everywhere. If the law is it's illegal, you would want to do the least so as to not draw attention to living in your car. But leaving trash everywhere this only makes the homeowners reach out to authorities and complain.
They need to open up more camping grounds to help these people stay in a safe parking area... its so hard out right and who knows how long this will last. For those who are living well, we'll thank God!! ... but things change from one day to another.
I'M CURRENTLY STAYING THERE! First off, when I had to leave my apartment I went to the BLM section of Red Rock because I wanted to be lawful and I was approached by a park Ranger one night, he told me to go to this location because it is safer. I will tell you straight up 99.9% of people staying there are responsible and respectful people. Very very few people have been there for longer than a week, most are travelers. Few people are locals like me, I've been there for 8 weeks and have never seen anyone leave trash and no one is ever up late being loud, partying anything. It's actually quite remarkable. I'm very thankful to have been able to stay in a place so safe and quiet considering my position. Most people only stay overnight until 8:30am, if they are locals they are going to work and travelers are going for morning hikes bikes etc. I've been working as a tour guide for an atv company and am 1 or 2 paychecks away from being able to rent a room in someone's home, so I will be leaving soon but the locals there are just like me. They're trying to get into a better position.
Good insight! Wow, I’m surprised a ranger told you that, especially considering all the car break ins and catalytic converter thefts that happen nearby in calico. I’d feel safer in the BLM areas. Not sure if those areas are actually considered part of red rock though. It’s kind of a grey area, despite some signs stating otherwise, but those are pretty far out there. You weren’t accidentally camping in black velvet or mud springs or something right? Those spots are off limits to campers.
@@mcculloughdakota If you take a look at the BLM map for. Red Rock you'll see practically everything off the side of the main road is BLM, not the actual conservation area. That's why there are some "no camping" signs in for of some trail heads. As long as there isn't a no camping sign off the main road you can camp. Ironically, the area the Ranger told me to go is not authorized for camping lol. But that's why you have seen vans, rvs etc there for years cause the police tell them to go there. I think it's in part safety in numbers and also no to have people scattered all over Red Rock 🤘
@@mcculloughdakota It's absolutely amazing how the government can prohibit citizens of this country from camping on "public land", paid for with our tax dollars!!!
Let's be clear about a few points here. First of all, what you showed in your video was not homeless people partying and living in their vehicles. Those were legally parked vehicles with no occupants in them. One of the vehicles can be clearly identified as a company work truck. Secondly, while the pandemic did have a big impact, the real problem is that people can't afford to live in the rapidly increasing cost of living in Las Vegas. Low wages in Las Vegas are $20 to $25 per hour and these people can't afford to rent or buy a home so they are forced to live in their vehicles or camp where ever they can. There's a lot of hostility about these "homeless" people but nobody is really addressing the issue and helping.
I wouldn't say 25 American an hour is LOW, but there are barriers to getting a place to live: no inventory, a credit check (which is AGAINST Credit Bureau ethics guidelines (we don't do it in Canada; same credit bureaus) and often you have to come up with a full month or two deposit, a chunk if you're just getting b ack on your feet. and it's going to get worse.
You assume that any of us should care about them or are responsible for helping them out lol. No, I don't want to help them. I don't get up every weekday at 6:00 AM to spend 8 hours in an office so that I can give part of my earnings to some bum that sleeps in and drunkenly scrolls through TikTok all day lol. No, I don't want them in my neighborhood .
There is a serious disconnect in our society. The average American is one or two paychecks away from becoming homeless. This inflation is only going to get worse and it will be hard for people to rent an apartment.
Who can seriously say in today's economy they are able to save money? One pay check or one emergency away for breaking into savings is all it takes...then you are back to square one in being homeless...due to one unpredictable emergency.. There is no getting ahead in this economy...the rich dominant the financial sectors...there is no longer a middle class family and people need to understand that the Middle class family and the Blue collar citizens are the ones that keep the pockets of the rich full and wealthy beyond their standard of living. The standards they impose upon the working class families is something they themselves can not fathom if it was to even happen to them. The power of the people who help sustain and maintain the infrastructure and global economy has been all but removed....now they squabble for scraps... barrowing from Peter to pay back Paul and begging for help all in the same breath. 🤔🤷
so let me get this straight a person falls on hard times and they want to implicate fines to resolve the person that fell on hard times issue I think and feel it would make their situation worse they need to find a way to resolve the issue without financially hurting them even more
People honestly believe that making it illegal to be homeless will somehow help. Now they are homeless criminals. It's chasing out the 'riff raff' before they 'hurt property values'. The world is very unkind.
Any person can fall on hard times but if they were a nice giving and social person to begin with then family and friends are already there to help. If not it’s because the same person doesn’t have the mindset to help somebody in need. It’s always about themselves. This is why a person resorts to living in a car to begin with. No long term thinking or planning. If some folks are supposedly so compassionate then feel free to open up your homes to them then. You won’t do it. Always a sense of entitlement and expectations for government or taxpayers to help. Trash Liberal Democ Rats. This is why every city self destructs run by Democ Rats.
I'm over 60 years old. Just can't remember hearing about homelessness of this magnitude in the United States growing up in the 1960's. Why are we sending billions of $ over to Ukraine now when our own citizens are in greater need?
I don't think that you are an American if you have to ask that question, and I don't think you have or will ever help anyone but yourself and you wouldn't help these car dwellers either.
Here is the big thing they don't tell you in this story the RV's and other vehicles parked in the "No Parking" area are on BLM land and it is legal for them to disperse camp in that area. The no parking signs refer to the Highway right of way, not the area where the vehicles are. It took about 4 minutes of web search to figure this out.
Thank you! And they also didn't tell you in the story that the housing development across the street is brand new, and that the boondockers have been there for years. The land across the street used to be BLM land, until the BLM released it and sold it a few years ago. It would have been a much better story to talk about housing developments for the rich encroaching on the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, but I'm not holding my breath until they do that one.
@@geezerpleasers_OG Exactly. It took me around 3 minutes for a public records search that showed that the guy bought the house, brand new, less than 2 years ago. And then he started complaining about something that was there long before those houses were built, and which is 100% legal.
People doing what they have to to live . Any one could get in that situation in life. So never look down on any one in life. Uplift them instead with words of encouragement. Remember God Almighty made us all.
These people, who look down on others... should be going to city council meetings and demanding why their isn't enough, low income, housing for people. One never knows.. when this could happen to them!
That’s dope that so many people in the comment section understand the struggle ,,,if you are somebody who wasn’t blessed to born into a solid support system it is very easy to find yourself in this position one mistake or or even bad luck can cost you the roof over your head
That’s bs I was raised in foster homes grew up worked hard stayed away from drug I’m 41 retired and live in a paid for beach house the American dream is still in reach just be smart about it a good friend of mine moved here from Honduras with absolutely nothing 7 years ago owns his own business his house is paid for and has a good life
@@frederickmuhlbauer9477 Until you said It i never even thought about that, I've lived within a 20 mile radius my whole life, even when I didn't have to. Lol
I had a home kept and family warm in it while there wasn't any work in Vegas, I rented a place in l.a. keeping my job there paying bills back home , well my wife's ex was busted neglecting out daughter, then tried to sue us when he was in the wrong, so all my extra money went to a paralegal, I ended up living in my truck fighting for my step daughter, I learned a lot about myself during this process too. I fought dirty back as he waited to sue us in April my most financial month of bills, I did deep and fit so much dirt in this guy he dropped the case and we won, I finished my job and went back home to my family and home, never judge a book by its cover, I met so many homeless that never looked it, dressed nice daily, had jobs, but lived in their cars and U-Haul units fighting for child custodies and going through divorces
Some of those vehicles are worth $100k....I seriously doubt someone with a Ram 4x4 with a flatbed fourwheel camper worth $100k is a vagrant. Also that airstream travel trailer is probably $50,000. Is he really homeless? Some do look homeless like the ones living in the black painted schoolbus. I bet more than a few of those folks have decent jobs at Red Rock Casino and just can't afford summerlin home prices and want to live closer to work....and there is a convenient open desert 1 mile from the casino lol.
Good question and yes, some are. I know two people who used their remaining funds to buy and RV or a camper in which to live. Fortunately, their incomes are enough that they can stay at some lost cost or free campgrounds, at least part of the time.
I passed through Red Rock canyon every single day going home and to work I have never seen a cleaner bunch of folks I've never seen it trashed everyone is minding their own business and it seems like everyone is peaceful I understand that for the people who live by the area that was highlighted on the news piece they pay a lot of money for their home but understand it's not like the people who are living out of their cars Vans or RVs are doing it by choice I have a friend who just rented an apartment a year ago for $1,400 a month her rent got raised to $2,000 a month for a one bedroom apartment! That's insane! The city needs to do something about apartment complexes and property owners raising the rents these ungodly amounts the situation will only get worse
I agree completely. I live about a mile down the road from this spot, and I have NEVER seen it trashed, and never seen any kind of problematic behavior. By the way, I'm pretty sure that the No Parking sign that they kept showing is new, probably in response to the Chads and Karens in the brand new housing development across the street. Also, it's completely legal to park there during the day, so for the story to show people parked there when it's legal, while talking about how it's "illegal", was just bizarre.
American capitalism is what American's claim they want. THAT MEANS...screw you, I can raise rents as high as the market will bear. NO the city is NOT responsible to somehow force a "capitalist pig" to stop pigging. THIS is what the American public wants but when it happens to THEM they squeal, "THIS is not what I meant. The OTHER guy should be suffering." Honest to Pete, American's just are too damn stupid to see what is right before their eyes.
I value the cleaning lady in the food court at the mall, the janitors , the cashier's, the drive thru workers, the bus drivers, the trash collectors etc. Make homes and apartments affordable so that they have a place to lay their heads some piece of mind for themselves and their families 👍
You hear that, everyone? Octudela here values your work. No, she won't tip you, she won't donate a dime to help you make ends meet, but she will support you in spirit for a couple of seconds. What a noble person she is! Everyone clap for her, please!!
When i was homeless in LA i was sleeping in my car ..the major challenge was to find a spot without parking restrictions finding shade cus it would get hot constantly moving from place to place without attracting any attention from the busy bodies.. i would get parking tickets all the time..it was very stressful. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY CITIES DONT HAVE A BIG EMPTY LOT WHERE THOSE WHO LIVE IN THEIR VEHICLES CAN SAFELY SLEEP WITHOUT CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS IN THE AREA..
It's because the supposed God fearing people who are fortunate enough to live in houses won't let it happen! They and business people are the only ones the politicians care about! What you said makes perfect sense but I've yet to see it happen here in Portland, Oregon!
Exactly... a place to park with porta potties or even a restroom cabana and dumpsters for trash. It surely would not cost any more than the cost of running away conventions, tourists, investors, businesses, and paying for the clean up of tent camps without restrooms and dumpsters !
As long as your car is registered you can park almost anywhere. Don't park where you need a permit . And set alarms for time limit spots. They can't give a parking ticket if you're in the car. Unless you're in a no stopping zone
He will soon be homeless himself give it time. The Mayor only care about the best place to get rid of bodies. I moved out of Vegas a while back because I would rather be homeless in a much cooler place than there. Hey at least they aren't living in Las Vegas sewers look that up on RU-vid. Good luck to everyone with our Great Administration and God bless
@@farmerbill6855 I don’t see any of these vehicles parked in front of anyone’s home. I do think there’s a problem if these folks are leaving trash but I bet 90% of them are not. Why can’t we have mercy for those that are in their cars? I can’t imagine living in a car in Vegas during the summer! No one WANTS to do that. But, let them stay for a few days in the areas they showed here. Again, I didn’t see anyone parked in the streets in front of houses.
🙄 So I guess you missed the shot of the trash left behind by the very clean homeless people. I'm not against them having a place to rest their heads but clean up, so no one knows your there and complain about it.
What's really interesting about this story is the fact that the only negative impact that these people seem to have is trash which they only showed one picture of a small grocery bag full which tells me that there's not much trash The other problem is people don't like seeing vehicles parked near their home this is a tough one but it sounds to me like someone either needs to move to a gated community or recognize that they're just too poor to move to that gated community and they're going to have to deal with the people that are a little bit poorer than them and living in their car not to mention a lot of those look like $100,000 converted sprinters not exactly the drug addicts I would be worried about if I was the man complaining another thing if it's such a big deal how come they were only able to get one resident on camera to talk about it and the other was a city employee I know it's a run-on sentence I'm using voice to text cuz I'm lazy
It's most likely the van community. I agree. I understand the homeowners trepidation, but the solution is more places for these tourists and house less people to park safely.
Its always something how our Country never has the money to help our own, but we can always come up with literally Billions to give to other Countries at any given time. This Governments nonsense they pulled the last few years is most likely what caused these people to lose everything, make no mistake about that..... this could happen to many of us at any time....
You get what you vote for. People keep putting the same people back in office year after year and do not seem to stop and take note of what they keep voting for when things start falling apart and the country starts crumbling. People need to wake up.
I wonder how these snobs are going to feel when Vegas runs out of water and they become displaced maybe they'll feel what it's like to be like these people shoes
Please come to the San Francisco bay area and see how many people live in their vehicles here. It's A LOT! A safe place for people to park would be better than complaining. There but for the grace of God go almost all of us.
I fear that there go most of us, if only when old age no longer allows us to work. Bad breaks earlier in life: cancer, a lost spouse, disability--will just get you there quicker. A huge prrcentage of these vans are just retirement homes on wheels, or even just a tarp against the wind.
A careful look at the good condition of the RVs point towards nomads who are probably working and maintain their rigs. The news clip showed Ford Transit B van conversions, an overlander and a well kept trailer, $$$ to buy. Big difference from a challenging homeless encampment which often brings broken down rvs, trash, human waste, drugs and theft. Working homeless seek alternatives, and should receive some respect.
I can empathize, I have 2 doctorates and 39 years work experience, I go on interviews for technical jobs and get age discrimination, sometimes I hear them say I'm over qualified but usually it's just a flat our refusal. I've tried everything to hide my experience and look younger but it doesn't work. I got hired by a company with good pay but was let go after I gave my social security card and drivers license with the excuse they accidentally hired 2 people for the same job, just to clarify they are still interviewing for that one position. The practice is illegal but it goes on everywhere. So what choice but minimum wage do I have, I'm now a security guard for 15$ an hour I should be making at least $60 an hour, if I was younger I would. This country is so ruined.
Yep, and I'm just a paycheck away from a weekly rental as I work my ass off 40 hours a week as my rent takes nearly all my monthly pay. I scrimp to eat, pay out the butt for a cell phone and internet service (Cox has manipulated the area, so it's impossible to find another ISP service); auto insurance is the biggest scam in Nevada and seeing a doctor? Forget it.
Don't lump all homeless in together. There are a lot of regular folks out there on fixed incomes who just can't keep moving away from their familiar doctors and people that they know. Some people have already moved here because a while back at used to be more affordable here and now there's not a whole lot left to go to so it's van Lifetime and that has to become more permissible. And if you got to go van stop littering the shit up.
@@tonjamarshall4842 and they have to build plenty and they can't treat them like institutions they have to just sell them like little houses that people can actually afford at the salaries that we have or the fixed incomes that we have.
Now that runaway inflation has almost doubled food prices in a few short months, homelessness will follow suit. I've been around for a while, and I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. Prices will likely just keep going up and triple, then quadruple in the coming months. The government is lying about it, naturally.
They'd really crap their pants if they knew there was over a hundred thousand people living like this and these are the homeless that you don't usually see.
bingo. I live on an island in Hawaii, and since I moved here 10 years ago I became aware of a group of people who live in a cave a few miles out of town. You know the island is full of lava tubes? This group has a lady whom I know, who works for years at a local upscale restaurant down the block from me. I see her walk by, she's always clean and nicely dressed. They live in a cave, and they are only one group that I know of.
I see absolutely no garbage around the vehicles shown in his pictures! With the wind garbage blows all over. I always have beer cans etc in my yard I don't drink beer.
I drive by that road and see them everytime I'm driving to hike in red rock. the vast majority of them usually leave in a few days... it's just a good spot for hikers and climbers because it's so close to red rock. most aren't even homeless lmao
Every single state has usable land that could be designated, approved, improved and set aside for nomad living. We used to have traveling conservation core camps, farms had transitory housing camps. Break governmental regulations and give us back to freedom to travel.
I've been an auto mechanic for 30 years, I was paid 22$ an hour in 1988 age 26. The other day I applied for a job in Albuquerque and they offered me 15$ an hour!

Welcome to the new America! Millenials have been bitching about this for years but ignored and called lazy complaining kids. Now that Gen Z'ers are seeing how bad and greedy corporate America is as they slowly join the workforce, they immediately pack up bags and quit. Lol
“Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”-fifth amendment. I guess it all depends on whether or not that street is considered public or private. Given that summerlin is a master planned community well….
You don’t get to price everyone out of the market as far as rent, housing and cost of living, then have it be illegal to live in your car.. That’s why people snitch to the news.. They wouldn’t dare go up to these people and complain in their faces! Scary asses want to have something to say without fear of rebuttal or getting knocked tf out!
I agree with you that they should be allowed to live in their cars but whether or not authorities enforce it in "their face" is another matter. If they did get "knocked tf out" that would be battery and then they would go live in prison instead..
@@MuadDib_ I meant the guy complaining. He isn’t an “authority” on anything, but has a mouthful of shit to talk, but I guarantee he’d never go approach these people.

you are correct, i once had a home owner leave a note on my windshield saying i am not allowed to park here. I arrive at 11pm and left 6 am one night and this happens. they are cowards for sure.
Homeless is getting larger every year. I live in northern Virginia, in my city it's illegal to sleep in your car.. my local Walmart is starting to fill up with some homeless people parking overnight. Some local government in different areas making it illegal to live in RV and cars n vans, they want us to buy house or rent as many are no longer able to afford even working two jobs, and working two jobs you can only do it for a short time and get burned out
Your correct burned out and die is really what they want. Drain you like a vampire then turn you into the Walking Dead, sound familiar??? Then throw dirt in your face while your children is being indoctrinated in the public school system. The Matrix is more realistic than your think
I've spent many nights in that zone. It sits on BLM land and not in a residential neighborhood. 80% of people that were there were from out of state. Notice how the story is one sided where they assumed everyone was homeless? I've seen tons of people who were there to hike and rock climb in Red Rock. There is only one campground at Red Rock and it isn't big enough to accommodate more campers. Also, many of the camper vans and SUVs are high dollar vehicles and not something homeless people are going to own!
These people are snobs. Any one of these complainers can easily find themselves in this situation at any moment. Lack of compassion and judgemental heads are indicative of a screw loose. Your day of reckoning will approach. God Help you.
Wanting your property value to stay up when you're paying on a mortgage does not mean you lack compassion. I doubt if you would have the same view if it were your house and trash was being left behind.
I have never seen a RU-vid comment section in such agreement. So full of understanding and empathy and honest and compassionate perspectives. This is clearly an issue on many people's radars.
The homeless population problem goes back decades. It started in 1980's and before, but rarely seen. It got worse as the decades came and went. But it has really took off dramatically and hugely in last 15 years or so year by year. 10 years ago it was bad, but nothing like now. Unfortunately it will continue to spike up year by year and in next ten or 20 years, half the country will be homeless if this charade of greed and selfishness continues. No relief in sight, just lip service by all in government saying they are trying to fix the problem. It's BS, they are not! Homelessness is the norm now. Get used to it. It's not going away, and just gonna get worse. USA TITANIC now sinking fast!
They don't look homless. Their vehicles are pretty new and late model. It is all the people the real estate investors put on the street by tripling rents. The useless Government should stop worrying about the trainies and moggers. And birdies and do something.
That’s why before the 1990s you could stay at places like the downtownr motel and crest motel for $20 a night, because there was a standard in society and always a basic clean accommodation, you could live there and then work at someplace and build up, but now anywhere you stay is $100+ and they also didn’t have resort fees back then, and what is left of that is over priced boutique motels or complete dumps. No basic standard of decently anymore. The problem today is how normalized it has become. It shows americas newest and biggest weakness.
@@rectaldestructionisnotlove4091 Bingo! Yup! True but also 🏦 bank, mortgage companies etc.. foreclosed and foreclosing on millions not paying or can't truly pay their back breaking monthly payments. Amongst job loss, got sick, etc.... Homelessness now a disease like Corona, Flu, Cancer etc... in USA TITANIC. A new trend of normalcy. Awful! Sick! Greedy, Selfish country we have become. Horrible horrific scary because it will continue to spread like wildfire. Non payment of property taxes will also leave you in the streets. Too many obstacles for all in USA TITANIC. USA TITANIC now sinking fast! Good luck all!
@@pessolanostudios Very true! I remember those days and decades. I did it! Whiskey Petes $15 a night! Imperial Palace $20 a night! Excalibur $19 a night! Railroad Pass $10 a night! Many strip and off strip hotels, motels had deals and steals back in 1978 to 1999 or so when I lived there. Not anymore, those days are long gone and won't be back ever unless Las Vegas runs out of water or depression. Greed took over, and I mean nasty dirty mean selfish ugly greed. USA TITANIC now sinking fast!
@@truelies3690 Wow I’m fascinated with that time frame in Vegas I’m only 21 and moved to Vegas but I’ve done allot of research on old Las Vegas. It was a interesting time. You must have seen Stardust and the Maxim.! I read it was $40 a night and they would polish your shoes.
Do not assume that everyone who lives in a vehicle is homeless. Some of those rigs shown in this news clip sell for over 100 grand. I lived in a van and during that time, I never felt more alive. I also had thousands in the bank but chose not to get a room. It's called boon docking, not homelessness. Boon docking is a freer, more adventurous and a more recreational way of living. Bob Well's is the most noted person who promotes dispersed living and he has many videos on RU-vid. I would recommend "Without Bounds" as a starter video into this subject. Bob also makes more money than many people who live in boring houses. As far as this issue is concerned, Nevada is not lacking in wasteland and BLM Property, I'm sure this issue can be worked out. PS, BLM in this case means Bureau of Land Management.
I remember when BLM released 380000 thousand acres before we sold and moved to Texas. Undeveloped acres in basically desert. I can't remember the exact price. There was a pig farm at the edge of town and the subdivisions were crying about the smell. He was forced off his land. It used to be called North Las Vegas. That's where the black people lived even had their own casino called the Moulin Rouge. I'm starting to date myself. Peace y'all
@@angieatvegas Any roof that doesn't leak is a real roof to me. If you're into buying a house, it's a nice place to hang your hat. I run a business myself and I now live in a house. It's boing to me I do not know my neighbors well and I watch RU-vid too much
Most of those vehicles looked well kept, like van lifers- are the people just enjoying life from Sept-May instead? In the Denver area the areas and vehicles where people are actually living in ratty old rvs full time are absolutely trashed, looking like a junkyard along the road. Old tarps, tents, garbage, furniture etc etc
@@duckmysick4988 But you're ignoring the arrogance in the video, "yeah the pandemic has been hard on people, yeah housing costs are rising at an alarming rate, but get these people outta here i can see them from my backyard!!!" lmfaoooo fucking pathetic humans not caring. These weren'y trashy homeless people, they are working people who don't make enough to pay rent. Its a shame that thats allowed to be happening here.
Some of the working poor make enough money to handle that payments on a nice Van or small motorhome, but could never afford rent. That's why some of those vehicles are nicer models.
During the pandemic, a lot of rentals and apartments complexes would not accept the money that was available for rental assistance. Look what happened after the pandemic was considered over, rents went sky high, because they evicted those who were behind. Maybe we need what new Yorkers have, rentcontrol. And I don't want to hear about rights.
Vegas has changed so much over the years. It's easy for those fortunate enough to blame the homeless for "not trying hard enough" or whatever you want. I'm working more than 40 hours a week, and with the BS minimum wage on top of rising gas prices, and rent increase, it's just about IMPOSSIBLE to live alone. Most places require 3x the rent to start off, and no SINGLE person can do that. I had to have someone cosign for my apartment or I wouldn't have a place to live either. It's unfortunately just easier to life out of your car than bust your ass and barely make it...
@@dcg590 Wow Lisa, that's pretty insensitive, at least this person is making an effort, there are plenty who don't, even if G9 furthered his education it would take time and the situation would not change very quickly. Hoping you have a better situation than this person! I for one will say a prayer for G9 and all the others who like him at least make the effort..
@@dcg590 it's not that easy. The thing people don't realize are the situations others are in! My mother has stage 4 terminal Brest Cancer. I'm her caregiver and have to be available if she needs me. I can't work two jobs because of that. I HAVE an education, but honestly having a degree doesn't do shit these days. Y'all think it's always an excuse but there's a reason for everything. I just got unlucky with my draw at life. Shit happens. Once again it's so easy for those who have it made to blame others. You have NO idea what others are going through.
The jobs need to increase the hourly wage so people can afford this outrageous rent. Nobody should be homeless or hungry if their getting up going to work everyday. Shame.
They are just gonna raise it again. No time to go work on them. The gloves should be off. Round up these hedgefunds and give them some CIA Black Site treatment. Take the useless Government whose only worried about the trainies down and go to work on the rich. I got your asset portfolio right here. Let us see how good those panic rooms are.
I get your point. But did it ever occur to you that when companies increase the wages of their employees, the consumer pays for it in the end?? Truth be told, if the people at the "top" were willing to be more equitable in sharing the profits of their companies with their employees as opposed to being so greedy and self-centered, your idea would go a long way toward bringing about a solution. But you and I know that is not going to happen.
The economic system is broken. Rents in the Western part of the country have always been high, crazy high, to where people have to get into roommate share situations and even then the rent share can be too much for working class people to afford.
These are all great and useful ideas, the problem is that the politicians are corrupt. Look at what they did to california. They dont want to solve the problem because if we all wanted that , after more than 2000 years of homelessness and poverty and lots of money ( I mean this goes way back to the time of Christ ) we as a society along with the ruling elite would of solved it . Do not blame this on capitalism because this exist in commy countries too...There are some great videos on the homeless problem in California and how the politicians and so called none profits , that profit big time off the misery of homeless and down troden make money off this. Very disgusted and sad over the truth I see.
There are some places that have now gone so far as to say you can't rent out that spare room in your house, or live together as roommates if more than one person is unrelated. Gee, there's gonna be a lot of "cousins" around. And if they try smasking for DNA proof.. not gonna happen.
Tell me about it I moved to Vegas with my parents it's crazy how my mother, my father, my wife , and I are working and living together and we can barely make ends meet!!! Food in Vegas is almost 25% more expensive than in California and the wages here are almost double less than California. I only moved because Cali has good paying jobs but we barely were able to rent a spot because their asking for first and last month + security deposit and wit the rents 2,500-3,000 for 3 bedrooms we refused to pay 10,000-15,000 dollars just to rent a house !!!! I get it homeowners lost a lot of money during the pandemic but why the hell do us people who paid our rent throughout the pandemic have to pay for the bull sh*t everyone else caused!!!
Let’s see to the person that was interviewed for this story if the brick wall dividing between the property line of the neighborhood and the state highway it’s not your business or concern of that owner of the car suv rv or van you should mind your own business this is what’s wrong with the country now is everyone in someone else business and not to bother if there ok or offer help to them
Im one of those guys who will kill any of you without hesitation if I feel my family is threatened. Move behind my house and find out how fast reality sucks.
Has the homeowner that was interviewed in this video talked to these homeless people? I think the answer is no. If he tried to communicate with them and discuss the trash situation or what’s important to him I’d be willing to bet they would be reasonable. These people are working people not bums freeloading for years. It’s likely if the homeowner had a few conversations with them he’d find that they’re very similar to himself.
It's different people every week and shouldn't the ones leaving trash be a little more considerate? Seems to me if you're down on your luck and you have a place to stay, you wouldn't want to screw it up. I don't blame the homeowners for wanting their street back. These situations tend to get worse. Do you want your street looking like LA?
@@3rddegreeburns494 The Hall monitor super dorky nerd man interviewed AKA Jeremy Kelly took a picture of one bag of trash, hell he could have put it there for all I know, in fact I’m going to call him guilty of putting that bag of trash there and taking a picture of it. As for appearances everything looks in order to me, they even have their vehicles lined up in an orderly drive in movie type fashion. Also the reporter Alicia Patillo is kinda hot 😍 which isn’t really on topic we’re discussing but something I noticed.
America is a disgrace and is on its way down. So why don't all the rich and ruling class get together and pass a law that says being homeless is illegal so you can arrest and send all of us working class corporate slaves to death camps. So all the have's can get rid of the have nots. Then you can live in peace until the over breeders and immigrants manifest the same scenario.
It's doubled since last year! Rent is very steep. Many are scared... the future looks bleak to them. Suicide rate, is still going up. People, are depressed and anxious and they don't know what else to do but sleep in their vehicles... For many, there is NO where to Go.
This will soon be a problem all over the US with housing so expensive now, not to mention food and gas!!! Our Government is not doing anything to help, they need to get off their overpaid buts and take action!!!!!!
And stop sending all the $$$$ to other places, some of which make snide comments about America and our lifestyles. Billions that are being sent to Ukraine, Israel, and other countries, while 25000 people are homeless in California alone.
Rent is SKY HIGH all around the country. Home buying is impossible because you have to OUTBID CASH OFFERS. I don't blame people for living in their cars. BETTER THAN THE STREET
A Desert city who let skyrocketing rents and monopoly prices for homes is to blame Nevada you let California prices takeover what once was affordable, keep in mind California has beaches you have a desert.
@DANonPC Indeed. It's completely legal to park there, on BLM land, despite the reporter misinterpreting the No Parking sign. That refers to the highway right of way, not to the big parking area set back from the road.
Society is collapsing. We had to buy a camper and stay in it in Bozeman mt. I will not pay 2,500 a month. We have worked all over from east coast and west and decided to go home. I went from highend carpenter to a janitor in my home town . We decided this will be our last stand against the army of greed.
The city of Las Vegas needs more housing for everyone instead of jailing homeless disabled people for sleeping outside and fining them $1,000 according to the city’s ordinance passed during the pandemic
During the 1920's "Great Depression" people lived just like this around Boulder City. Word got out that the Hoover Dam was going to be built and citizens flocked to the region in hopes of finding work. Called "The New Deal" President Hoover enacted legistlation that set aside funding for large projects that allowed people to work. And history was made. The guy that is complaining about these people would have never had the chance to live in Summerlin if the "New Deal" was never enacted.
That guy complaining needs to go live in russia or china, as he certainly does not deserve the freedom I fought for. 40 years I've been a disabled veteran, with the past 30 years homeless, living in my vehicle. He should be outraged at our leaders who have robbed social security, with cost of living adjustments far lower than inflation. When social security was created, you could spend THAT monthly benefit check entirely on gasoline, then sell it at today's prices, for $30,000 - $50,000, depending on where you live. Does anyone think I would be homeless with $50,000 coming in from social security? Your leaders CHOSE to make oil companies wealthy, leaving the disabled and elderly homeless. Poor decisions were made by those at the top, not by those at the bottom. Now, read my first line again! (does it apply to you too?)
That’s when we had a president who actually made policy’s in the interest of the American people. That’s what Trump was doing with the pipeline and bringing back independent energy and adding jobs. Not to bring Trump into it but it comes down to policy’s that work.
Umm. The new deal started in 1933 under Roosevelt. Also construction(planning phase at least) of the dam started officially in 1928 a year before the depression even started. It’s almost like you don’t know history and what you are talking about.
@@jimcarrington6744You don't know that man or what his contributions are. He's an American, period, & is wholly deserving of every right enumerated in the constitution, whether you fought for this country or not. End of story
In my rental home, we all work! But we all have to eat(at a 40+% increase) & we have to put gas in our cars to get there that in the past 2yrs the price of gas here in Mi has gone up over 100%!! In end of 2019 before this degenerate took office, I paid $2.19/gal... Paying $4.49/gal now. Not to mention prices on Utilities, recycling, trash pickup, electrical, natural gas, ect ect ect ALL UP!!! Starting today im serving my family meatless dinners. Last night i made my last 3 chicken breasts in a pot of chicken soup to stretch a few days. Every 2wks i visit a food pantry & stock up on beans, rice, canned foods & some boxed cereal. If im lucky i get 1lb of hamburger or a pk of hot dogs. FOR 3PPL FOR 2WKS!!! We are literally 2wks away from being homeless. In 2018 i bought a used popup camper & it just may become my home! I cant believe how many ppl are complaining abt their property values, knowing all too well your homes could be TRASHED & someone will buy it at a 150%++ Value increase & they dont even have to see it in person!! Thats how desperate ppl are to buy homes in the USA right now. When im homeless, i wont give 2 shi*ts abt your 900sq ft 2bdrm home value of $300,000.00 when 2yrs ago it was worth $90,000.00. Greedy-azz ppl! ALL OF YOU COMPLAINING AZZES! i seen 1 bag of trash!.. Not trash everywhere among those rvs. When its your turn to be judged, you'll try & forget & be forgiven for your lack of empathy.. All for MONEY THAT U CANT TAKE WITH YOU! ughh sickening
That's man's attitude disgusts me. This whole report is a joke... They're going to issue tickets to people already struggling 🤡. Having had to live in my van before, simply because one set back suddenly made my living paycheck to paycheck impossible... Disgusting. Like, what the hell... This makes me wanna cry.
Who is this guy Abdul-Jabbar! This guy lives in a dream world; So what do you think about reality guy? Instead of sound like a little girl you need to help find a solution! Anyone can become homeless in the matter of a day... Empty houses everywhere & rotting away "Sad" Greed Changes People...Kilo
They’re trying to be close to town and out of peoples way yet are still being pushed out. Those grill out are people just trying to cook their food. So upsetting to see that this is the mindset of some of the community
Jhonnyfendi, u still live in yo mammas basement😂😂😂 i bet yo mom is a Karen too,u aint 21 years old yet, u haven't reached puberty yet either, so u have no clue u ignorant baby.U probably posted that remark because you were going thru PMS, dumb pnk!
Concerned...that people EXIST? Their purpose for being there...is LIVING. Yeah, funny thing, people have a RIGHT to live and they are supposed to have a right to PROPERTY too so they can do this! You've really sold your souls, haven't you? That and your wits. So astonishing to witness this happening. How spiteful can you be? YOU WILL OWN NOTHING! Do you understand!? NOTHING.
I bet these people complaining also go to Church and read about "helping the least of us and those less fortunate with empathy" but then come home and judge the less fortunate
@@blueeyedwolf2205 They are obeying the law. First, the No Parking sign refers to the highway right of way, not the area set back where they park. Second, while it's illegal to live in your car in Las Vegas, they are on BLM land, outside the jurisdiction of the City of Las Vegas.
We have over 700,000 acres of land.. unoccupied, here in America...It's not that we're running out of land.. the govt. owns much of it.. The govt sucks!
Don't compare retired in rv lifestyle. To homeless. We pay our way and contribute to many businesses on the road. Happens to be our retirement dream. And having a great time.
@@reallifesuvlife9051 It is addictive. I have been at it four years. Some of these people surely have some real problems. Even on BLM property, I would never camp within site of a house. I am guessing these people have no choice. - Ga$oline is really increasing my cost of living! It is starting to hurt.
