I agree 100% with removing them, but they are humans and do need to sleep. So why not wait untill 4-5am get it while no tourist are out and have it clean first thing in the AM for people. I used to train hop for a decaded and the rule was always go to sleep after everyone leaves and get up before all the stores open. I had 0 intereactions with police using that method in 10 years traveling and sleeping outside.
❤❤❤❤ I’m a bit hooked on your channel, your filming is so smooth and I love the way you let the story talk for its self .😊Thanks It’s sad to see and reinforced how blessed I am to have a roof and food .
They have enough energy to pack a whole lot of crap onto carts or whatever but they refuse to go into shelters. If the shelters are so awful and you care so much then do something to improve the shelters but these people need to get out of public spaces parks etc.
This is great. LA finally getting serious about the homeless issue. I guess Newsome threatening to restrict funding to Counties deemed not doing enough to clear encampments is having an effect.
It's election year. Newsome promised to fix the homeless crisis, and he's doing it by kicking the down the streets to other locations and states. It's true.
The piano, remarked to be an almost historic monument of famous local musician, being destroyed is perfect visual depiction of the compartmentalization of the task forces to their separate duties, with a supervisor who is "new to the division" and out of touch with the residents. A very complex problem for sure, but it's almost kafkaesque how the pursuit of repelling these campers just leaves them more scarred and scuttled off into new corners. I hope a support/crisis advocate is on-hand for each case- but what I am seeing is a top-down solution that collides harshly with reality. Props to the workers for being seemingly patient and enduring, but my heart hangs heavy for our troubled countrymen
We as a society shouldn't have deal with junkie bums everywhere. People who are homeless should be offered help and if they decline it they should start arresting people for drugs and any other thing they can charge them with.
Doesn't look like those campers have that much "clout" after all. The beach should not be a hobo jungle, other places for that. Go ride Shack's train to Portland if you dare!
There is a hostel in Santa Monica that offers dorm beds. Unfortunately they are unaffordable (100 a night and unavailable to locals. I’ve said this before, many of them work. Create a place where they can rest between the hours of 7pm to 7am. A blending of a hotel and hostel that’s affordable. Private room (door, lock and key, shared bath) Cost between thirty to forty a night. This would at least get a demographic (those with an income, but can’t afford market rate housing, or on wait lists, etc) off the streets, or beach. Think outside the box
When you see this struggle in action it makes it more understandable how it almost necessitates the emergence of a controversial or outlandish advocate like Daisy to get anyone's attention. And the necessity of objectively-aimed street journalism like this channel. Next would come allies within the system/govt who have been through this stuff on the ground to actually swing for impact versus "results on paper"
I remember hiking in Griffith Park around 2005…and I saw this guy who was camping on one of the trails..I saw him a couple of times and he was smoking something…and about a month later there was a fire in those same hills…I’m almost sure he was responsible for it, I’d bet money on ig…
@@Gl6619 if anybody remembers all the fires back in the 2000s most of those were because of homeless encampments. Either from cooking stoves/fires being unattended or they had a cigarette butt that wasn't put out start it. It wasnt until 2 people were found dead at the source of one of the big fires that they started kicking them off the hills into the city and giving them EBT cards that could be used in some restaurants.
Well, jeez, maybe if you make housing affordable for them, maybe their wouldn't be so much homelessness! And if you have never been homeless? Then you have no right to judge any of them. Try being homeless and see what it's like? It's a nightmare.
ALL 2024 CANDIDATES AT FEDERAL, LOCAL, AND STATE OFFICES SHOULD BE MANDATED TO DEVISE HOMELESSNESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS/PROJECTS BASED ON CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND DRUG ABUSE RESEARCH -- THE BUCK STOPS ON ALL OF US NOW!!!
Fabian, don't buy into their redefinition of language. "Experiencing homelessness" is wordy and redundant. They are transients. People with no fixed living address.
The extent of most homelessness is where the political sway is in there favor to be homeless. Thus states and cities like this will always attract drug addicts and the like
@@lordraydensthey always want to solve homelessness..as long as it doesn’t involve them getting their hands dirty and not having encampments in their areas
So now it’s against the law for these poor homeless to sleep ? They’re only going to be sleeping during the day same spots- since they didn’t sleep at night . Making it even worse! What a redundancy of action!!! 😠
Excellent point, and it goes for those sleeping or resting in vehicles as well: It is not now, never has been, and never will be illegal to sleep (or to rest), if one is too weary to move safely. So BITE ME!
@nowadayswithandy Really. So, do you think these people are too tired to drive and are resting? I see a lot of able bodied people wasting their lives away. You could always let them sleep in your yard.
@@Kevin-g5b Take them to your bedroom instead. They need help not harassment from sleeping. 💤 They will not be able to get a job if they’re dirty, sleepless and have no place to shower or be clean. This harsh approach is making it worse!
