There are about 2,000 homeless encampments around downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row. Six days a week, a nonprofit organization takes on the monumental task of cleaning up trash in a 49-square-block area called the Business Improvement District. Here's how they do it.

There is a large trash dump where the railway bridge crosses the Santa Paula Creek that has been for over a year. Homeless start fire to burn plastic. Fire Crews cannot respond.

@L0VELoops 4 года назад

Sophia Brown maybe the city should put up more trash cans and bathrooms. Currently there are only 9 bathrooms for the 2000 living in skid row. Most of these people are suffering from mental illness and mental illness is usually associated with drug addiction. Some people became addicted due to doctors prescribing oxy/vic just because pharmaceuticals companies will pay doctors bonuses for prescribing these drugs. Maybe the people who are profiting from the poorest and addicts should step up and help this community.

I usually defend the homeless (I was homeless myself for around 5 yrs)...except when it comes to this...I always did as I was taught about camping, “leave it better than you found it”...I never understood why they had to trash every place they camped????!! I would tell other homeless, “ no wonder they kick y’all out of places..pick up your shit”....I may have lived in a tent, but I didn’t look it and I conducted myself like I was raised...you know what ain’t cool....

@jessiemichelle5642 2 года назад

Exactly. I was homeless, too, and it's situations like this that give the homeless population a bad stereotype. Luckily I got help since I was a woman with a child but that didn't stop some people from being flat out hateful to me. A few times I broke down in tears- I had never been talked to like that. These people didn't even know me and were acting like I would attack them or something. It was the other homeless people that comforted me. I saw so much talent among them, and caring. Guitarists, artists, funny as heck some of them. And one day a fellow homeless person brought a huge watermelon and someone else had a pocket knife and cut it up for us. It was a real treat, the sweetest watermelon I'd ever eaten. And we did not leave a mess. I have come up with a saying: Homeless does not mean hopeless. Look past the grime and into their eyes. They all have stories you wouldn't believe. And really low self esteem. It's amazing what a simple haircut can do for a guy. Love your fellow humans. We are all in this crazy mess of a world together.

@joshuaupham5993 5 лет назад

Why not teach/train them how to use a garbage can or dumpster? It doesn't take long and isn't too difficult to understand how they work.

@L0VELoops 4 года назад

Joshua Upham because the city doesn’t have enough trash cans set up. There are only 9 toilets for 2000 skid row population. Anyways, like the guys said towards the end of the video, because of the trash he has a job, he probably wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for skid row. Gives someone a job and helps clean the community.

There are many housing programs out there for the homeless. The “problem” is these programs have certain rules and requirements that the homeless must follow (I.e., no drug use, pay a tiny amount of rent, and follow rules). These homeless people refuse to abide by these rules and prefer to live on the streets where they can do all the drugs they want and break as many rules as possible 🤷🏻‍♀️

Around La's skid row . Hell the hole costal part of the state is skid row.

An observation...if you look at the row of tents, it's just like a neighborhood. In front of some tents, trash is piled and in front of some tents it is kept clean and the area kept up.

I remember the days in the early 2000s when people took up camp in the morning and set up at night as homeless

We have this same problem in Ventura County. People burn trash along the railway where the Santa Paula Tourist Train operates on weekends, but the Police are prohibited from acting.

Just because you’re homeless does not give the excuse for the filth. I can’t understand the trash!? I know those businesses would give you trash bags to clean up your own mess!

Amy Heyart when you’re that deep in addiction and mental illness, cleaning no longer matters. Life loses all meaning.

Why can't the town council send every day a rubbish collection van and a small van that cleans street with disinfectant water like in Lindon.

Why are there no trash cans or trash bins in the area?

Everything washes away and it's all forgotten 😔 respect to these guys, but something HAS to be done

@soniasonger8423 4 года назад

I need to reply to all those saying that the homeless should clean up after themselves, True, But here is the thing they/we aren't being provided with garbage cans or dumpsters to do so. I am living that life due to sucomstanses beyond my control. Yet every day I put my garbage in bags and take them to dumpsters and throw them away. Here is the bigger problem, it is illegal to throw your garbage in anyone's can or dumpster. Be it a personal residence or a business, government or hospital and doctor's office dumpster. And I understand that they pay for the city service and do not wish others people's trash to fill the space they pay for.

Thank you for the insightful comment because I would just like to add that if ppl commenting would just look around in video they would notice a lack if trash cans in these areas.

Homeless are gathers of items that are discarded. Its our trash originally

@JG-np1qg 3 года назад

Send them to work camps. No work, then no food. No drugs, get meds, learn skills. If they learn to work, then move them to halfway house in cheaper city with jobs. If not, move them to colder climate work camp. These people cost us all too much. Time for them to start paying, not us.

Societal standards cleanliness and respect are disregarded in California. This is a problem that could be easily corrected with the right mayor and governor.

Why isn't America looking after their own people more. High percentage of homeless for a wealthy country. Why so many broken people and trauma?

@SinMore 3 года назад

omg, I want to get them respirators, heavy duty gloves and jumpsuits! I want to give them a pay raise....I'm so depressed.

@amyrife1377 4 года назад

Why can't they leave lidded trash cans on every block so the homeless can throw away their own trash and become responsible in some way. Its ridiculous you see none of the homeless helping these guys at all and its their trash!!!!!

I wish all the people who talk bad about the homeless would go completely broke and forced onto the street, only then after you come back like this guy working the clean then let’s hear your opinion. This isn’t easy and human rights always need to be a focus, big picture.
