Venice Beach homeless encampment during a rain storm 

Good one !

Real talk....I always dreamed of 2020 like some futuristic paradise....Turns out.."woke progressives" took us back 100 years...

Worse than Flintstones. At least the cavemen got their own homes.

Looks like the sanctuary districts in the Star Trek DS9 episode called Past Tense when they get sent back in time to the year 2024. They weren't far off with that episode.

I remember Venice in the 1960s and it was a very freaky mess even then. What you see are people who are totally strung out on drugs. In the 1960s the drugs weren't flowing in from our southern border yet except marijuana. Don't worry because president Kamala and Joe are going to open up our borders so even more drugs can come in.

Dont give god that glory. Give that glory to yourself. You did that, not god.

it wouldnt matter. you see, the money sent abroad helps the usa too. a lo of the money you send abroad goes to countries that make your foods, make your electronics and tools. it keeps them producing, if they collapse then america is in huge treouble, the usa like most countries in the west rely on the 3rd world countries. if they collapse then the the usa would collapse. there aretwop areas, that the usa must not let collaapse orr it will collapse itself. 1. is the countries that provide what america needs, and the other is the uk. the uk is more important to the american rich, as its illegal to manage money i a tax haven in the usa. but its the main business for london. those sky scrapers in london are full of investment managers, managiung accounts in the caymon islands jersey etc for the american super rich, if the uk and london was to fall the americans billionaires would lose EVERYTHING so the usa will never let the uk fall out of greed and their own self interest, and thl;ike i say without giving money to third world countries those would collapse, and your food costs would sky rocket, clothing would sky rocket, technology woulsd sky rocket, and people wouldnt be able to live thats the thing you and most americans do not unsderstand with your lamerica first syndrome. that the usa iss so interconnected that if one domino falls then they all do. you arnt giving money to foreign countries for fun you are doing it to keep the usa alive. its not your fault though, you have a substandard education system compared to other western countries like the uk. you should be taught this at school, then people wouldnt think like you and not understand WHY the usa sends money abroad. its not cos they like the countries, just americans are unskilled, and have never made decent products. i worked for a chemical plant, and my job was to take everything the americans made there and try to make it into something actually sellable. because the quality was that low it was unsellable. i had to mill it, just so that it could be sold and try to scrape some profit .

Homelessness is business in Democratic US cities. Think of all the “non profits” and how much money they bring in and how many people are employed to “end” homelessness. It’s a fucked up world we live in. The devil walks.

I agree with you buddy. But those people don’t want help. They’re rebels without a cause. They think they’re sticking it to society by not participating in the daily grind. Those politicians need to be run out of office.

@@sunnydaze2359 The media only show the worst of the worst poverty stricken places in 3rd world countries. I've lived in a 3rd world country and majority of homeless people or poverty stricken people live in illegal settlements. And they have jobs.

We are to many people on this planet and we are wasting to much of the mother earth resources. The next generations will have to pay the price, thats for sure.

You still don't look at all the homeless.

prior to the UCLA graduates deciding to invest in beachfront property, places like Venice and Santa Monica had poor, that were outpriced in the college buyup.

Well hopefully if people voting out the democratic "millionaires" that keep raising the property value and wanted to put a tax on gas. I get the state want to be green and progressive and all that, but people making minimum wage only get like 28,000 because thats majority of the services that offer only that. A comfy safe home is more than a million. A house in houston at 300k would be 6.5 million in la.. people literally have to come into LA for their job because property here is for business owners and executives.

Since you’re calling the obvious be their guest and fix it 🤷🏽‍♂️ make it seem like they can turn shit around at the snap of a finger guy

california has really 40 million non english speaking illegal aliens. average education level 2nd grade.....they simply out number the born locals...

@@lunam7249 that is freaking stupid even for you 40 million ??? Where in the hell do you get those numbers

Have you lived in California? I paid $1800 a month for a studio apartment in HB. If you're working class (working class people in California have to make over 60k a year to even survive) and you lose a job, or get injured and can't work, you're essentially screwed. The cost of living is just too high for someone not making over 80-90k a year to survive on their own. There's plenty of people that come to California for a job offer that's 20-30k higher than what they were making in the flyover states. If a California transplant has a financial setback and then has no family or friends in the area theyre screwed. The weather is nice enough to where you can sleep in your car and function without a residence but that's a slippery slope. I knew a few people that lost a job, took a job paying less and couldn't afford their rent. They ended up sleeping in their car and accepting that as normal. Without close friends/family and without the cash for a new apartment (about 4k with 1st month rent/security deposit) people end up couch surfing or sleeping in the car, one more setback and they're in a tent on the street.

Why would you want to bring your family there, it looks like an absolute 3rd world shithole.

@@Thyalwaysseek is it not safe cuz of the criminals or what?

Because there's only one trash hauler company now, that's monopolized the service. And the county and city to do with Los Angeles are SO incompetent, that most utilities barely do a minimum of anything. CA is the place of choice, for homeless people from other states and countries. Usually they were given some means of just showing up here. That form of human dumping has gone on for decades too. If you ask most of the homeless where they are from, it's from anywhere but Los Angeles.

My question is why dont the city set them up at the city dump so they dont have to haul all that shit to Venice Beach.

They are not that forgotten, people give them food and money all the time, most of them have EBT government food cards, and Obama phones. There’s a lot of shelters, food banks, and churches that always step up, trying to help them, in a way enables them even more. NOBODY on the streets of LA is dying of starvation. We even have obese homeless so food is not a problem. Is mental and spiritual. Many just gave up, don’t want to work, and once they get hooked on drugs is over. Even if is just marijuana that now is legal, some people can’t handle it. All the want to do is get High and do nothing. The trash is their “stuff,” it may look like trash but they get upset if you try to take it from them. The City protects their right to keep their “stuff/trash.” And is one of the reasons why these people don’t go to shelters because they’re not allow to bring trash or drugs. So they rather stay on the streets with their things. Believe me I know. I was doing homeless outreach and is so hard to get the mentally ill and drug users off the street. It is the political leadership that allowed this mess in the first place. So is their fault. So much for their progressive socialist Utopia. Is so sad. I used to love going to Venice. I haven’t been there in 10 years since it started getting really bad. I used to live in downtown LA and left too, because is just a hell hole now. I came to the suburbs outside LA and now is over LA County, is a California problem but mainly in the inner cities. All we can do is pray for them now and reach out when we can. Occasionally someone will go to rehab and get help, but it takes a miracle. 😔

Because we pay for trash removal? I don’t know the answer. But I know I pay every month

@@regand7830 You're so right, I like your term "human dumping", never thought of it that way.

As a person who was homeless for 5 yrs you are correct..fortunately life was hard enough that i got sober and wow! I stopped being homeless. Hopefully those who dont like being homeless..they wake up and change. It was my experience 90% of those homeless was becuz of booze and or drugs. Ijs

what , 🤣😂🤣 i was expecting you to say something more sensible like helping them ..giving them money to rent a hotel or something ,...

Lol sure that's it

Off the coast of California most sea life is already dead including 60 thousands grey seals.

@@knowmenomo That's terrible. Not very good stewards of the planet.

Swimmers and surfers beware.

@@knowmenomo if people did away with plastic water bottles so the fish quit eating them might help... Then people eat the fish they eating all the chemicals the fish ate..and wonder why Every body dies of cancer

I agree with you dirty and undercoming beach....tears

@@sammwill9575 LOL!!

What are you talking about??? Our beaches are pristine! What would you know anyway?

That's freaking disgusting what the h***

@@weaslebronco2867 I am from the so called '3rd world country', and out beaches are wonderful and clean...Venice beach isn't for me, thanks

The rich get tax breaks..the taxes go to government and should be redistributed to create resources. But uhm.. 🤷🏾‍♀️mismanagement. Selfishness of people who can't think of ways to gain from each other in a community sense but prioritise individualism.

Back to them..

Rich people don't pay taxes thanks to the GOP handsome tax breaks. But tell me about how Democrats are ruining things.

There is no "tax money", it goes to secret off-shore accounts lol. The middle class are funding this bullshit, thats why they're all leaving. Socialism doesnt work.

@@J_131 Wrong.

You have to survive long enough as hard as it may be you have to practice good hygiene work together as a team then we the people will win there's a lot of work to do we have the same problem in Australia

Things only get worse before they get better. Idea is to not let it turn into a shit show to fast. Homelessness will get worse. I was born in California. In 40 years I have seen California go down the toilet. And I have not seen any improvement whatsoever. I have seen the cost of living just sky rocket there. So much it drove me to another state.

The people will lose.

@@timothydare6007 This is insane! I'm from S. CA too. I lived in N. CA for 11 yrs and been in MA for 8. This is beyond surreal. I remember going to Venice 20 years ago. Never in my wildest imagination could I have pictured this.

It looks like you're in a third world country! The state of California is in quite a state. Beautiful graffiti? I think not. The pictures maybe, but not all that other scribbling.

..go clean it up

@@chrisgoffe5048 Chris STFU

@@chrisgoffe5048 thats what tax dollars are for..... fool.

Disgusting makes me not want to go there !!! Venice Beach has always had it's share of colorful people but this is disgusting!!!!

Trump economy

They would if they were not drug addicted and had some pride, but they are and they don't.

Lol they never will

A bunch losers who refuse to be responsible for anything.

If you were homeless, why TF would you care about trash? Would you literally don't know where your next meal is coming from or how you're going to survive that day why the f would you care about litter on the ground? You are quite a piece of work. No wonder why Society is the way it is. Because the majority are people like you

@@electricianron_New_Jersey and that's why Society is the way it is is because of people like you. And on another level there's people in your life that look down upon you the same way you look down upon those homeless people since you think that you're all that

I live in Miami. My street outside my Airbnb home is full of Homeless people. It looks like a 3rd World country. Each week Miami PD has to chase the Homeless people away and Trash Crews come to clean up their messes. Then 2 days later. It's another mess to clean up and Miami PD is back again. While in nearby Miami Beach. There are no Homeless people in any great number. No messes to clean up. In all I don't notice too many Homeless people in Miami Beach. The only Dirty people in Miami Beach are the Bad Tourist from nearly States.

I went to Key West in 2004. Parts of it were overrun with homeless. The beaches were full of their tents. The bums would hang out by tourist shops and restaurants, and harass the tourists and employees.

I use to live in Tampa the homeless weren't bad actually really friendly. Here in cali drug using bums!

@@miguelnolasco2192 No law enforcement because there are no implemented resource outlets setup and made to work in order to "attempt" to redirect the lives of the homeless. Some make it their choice; there are a few that would make better. How to sift out these few ?

Simply having endless laws and regulations will not help these individuals get out of their situation. Especially those individuals who want better for themselves. But hey, the tourists are happy, we’re safe right. And now we are realizing the consequences of these laws and regulations. Right here, right now it is time for repealing these laws and actually replacing them with meaningful solutions. For instance, social safety nets and communal housing spread throughout the city. This is much more effective and you will see results.

You can watch it washing all the garbage directly into the ocean... Politicians have embezzled the money for water conservation projects for decades. All that rain will do nothing for CA :). Just FYI

Never could understand why they built metropolis in an arid area.Water supply cannot sustain such large populations.This is a big country .Rain all over except in parts of the west.

Thank a Democrat

Brings me joy

You can thank our government for this! They sent billions of dollars in foreign donations to other countries and yet with all that money they could clean up the entire homelessness problem in the United States in most likely less than two years!

That is true. Little can help. We started doing youtube video sharing kindness to inspire others. THE CLAVERS

@@theclavers give a man a fish and he eats for a day teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. People forget how to help themselves when free stuff is just tossed at them, yes a few need help and just a hand getting back up up but the minority are looking for that handout not the hand up.

LOL...You think the Dems want to fix this? They love this shit because it's a huge cash flow of federal money into their pockets.

Yes in DC

@@wolfganggruberschnickel1825 now if only it could wash you out with it.

Americas national debt. Disagrees with your comment.

@@icehog3454 Exactly! What's wrong with this picture?

Yep rain or shine, I'm happy to have a home to come to. Some people choose homelessness cause they would rather not have a boss or responsibilities. To each is own.

@Kelly Israel youve never been homeless. it sucks. its not the life.

These comments are interesting, and not one of them is true. I'm 53 years old now and got out of homelessness about 20-30 years ago. Now here is the real truth from a person that's been there before. First off, I realize the question is just a rhetorical question. However rhetorical it may be though, the truth & facts are that none of those who believe the comments below are true, knows anything about what a good or bad day is like to a homeless person. Secondly, Don't ever think that giving a little change, or a buck or two to a homeless person is not appreciated by them. It most certainly is appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. What's left of it anyways. That hot meal from mc'donalds you gave us the other morning, or that ride you gave us the other day, or that pair of socks or coat you gave us to help keep us warm at night. NEVER EVER think or believe those things are not appreciated. THEY ARE! So then what's the problem? WHY are you STILL homeless? Did we not help you enough already? These are a few of the questions you may be asking yourselves. I understand. However, these questions are the WRONG ones to be asking. The problem isn't HOW MUCH you give, or how OFTEN you give. It's WHAT you give that is the problem. Don't miss understand me on this. God bless you all for your helping hand outs, Lord knows they help keep us going while we are in dire straights. But it just doesn't resolve the MAIN problem we are faced with, that impedes our efforts EVERY DAY. Your little bit of change here and there helps us with our struggle in EVERY DAY BATTLE to survive one more day, true enough. You'll get NO argument from me on that point. Now, as to the question of WHAT should be given? What would be needed to RESOLVE the homeless problem? WHAT'S needed? Just look at what MISSING, but REQUIRED. 1. A phone. 2. An address. 3. A bar of soap & some place to take a shower at least once a week. (One that's CLEAN and sterilized). Some place to wash a few pieces of clothing and some detergent. 4. Some place we can lay horizontal and sleep without some cop harassing us to move or worse yet, arresting us and taking what little we do have. Last but not least of all, GIVE US A JOB!!! So we can help our selves out. ANYTHING would help. It doesn't HAVE to be a fancy job in some factory, (though that would be great!) but, even just a simple job like maybe pull some weeds around your house or business, or if you got a lawn mower, to mow your grass for you, or wash your car or windows, or scrub the gang tags off your garage in the alley, or maybe do some painting of something for you. Hell, ANYTHING at all is better then having to stand on some dumb corner every day holding some stupid piece of cardboard sign begging for a job, while wearing filthy clothing and looking & (feeling) like I haven't showered for weeks with scraggly hair & looking like death warmed over right after hell ran over me. Ok. That last part there. Myself personally. That was where "I" drew the line. I just couldn't bring myself to do that one. That was just tooooo embarrassing for me to do. I went into restaurants and asked the managers if they had a job I could do to pay for a meal. But for those that do that, give them a job. It's also a great way to find out just who is real about that, and who the B.S.ers that do it for free hand outs and "WANT to be lazy". Their is ALWAYS at least one bad apple in EVERY basket out there. As to what's a good day? Well, understand this, a GOOD day goes something like this. First of all, know that OUR day starts about 10:00 P.M. the night before YOUR alarm clock sounds off. At or about 10:00 P.M., restaurants toss out any foods that didn't sell or get picked up that day. Like in my case, when I was homeless, I always hung around Little Caesar's pizza to wait for them to toss their pizza's in the dumpsters. They were always sealed and still hot from the ovens. I would usually find about 4-6 packages with 2 pizzas in each one. Or I'd go to a K.F.C.'s to get a 30 gal. bag of chicken they would toss out, that was still hot and in a clean and tied bag. Yes, I ate like a king. I'd find a 2 liter bottle of pop or a gallon of milk that had JUST reached it's expiration date "TODAY" and was still safe and drinkable. YES, I drank like a king! Then I'd eat. Then I would go what I called my can route. Come back with a 30 gal. bag or two of cans & bottles to cash in and get about 3-5 dollars. Buy a pack of cigarettes and get a cup of coffee from the donut shop. Then I'd get some sleep and HOPEFULLY not be disturbed and harassed by the cops. On some nights I'd have awash cloth and a pair of pliers to go behind a store and inside a make shift blind made of pallets, be able to take a cold shower with a short piece of garden hose for a shower head and a bar of soap. then in the cold air, dry myself off and get dressed. Then wash out my other out fit in cold water and a bar of soap and then go a field to hang them on a tree limb to dry. Then go looking for some one who might have some little job I could do for a few bucks so I could get a meal or what ever else I needed for the time being like tooth paste or something. then by then, It would be time to start all over again on the can route again that night. There, now that's a good day for a homeless person. Sad those kind of days are VERY far and few. Try doing that for just ONE week end with nothing but the clothes on you back. You WILL be heading back home to the comforts of your house, with a better understanding of what the homeless are faced with EVERYDAY with out any breaks. Then ask yourself your own questions.

Some of them love it.

@skum bum Dam, now that I re - seen my post. Yea, I see what you mean. Sorry.
