I use the Metro bus and train everyday for work and school, and it’s so scary when people who are clearly intoxicated or mentally ill who come close to me screaming, yelling incoherent words, and try to touch me. Luckily I move away or avoid eye contact so I won’t get attacked. It’s a real problem and it’s increasingly dangerous and saddening that this is occurring more often.
Try riding a train to work because you can’t drive. You have to always dodge Homeless people taking up two or three seats. Some are just sleeping, but others are often yelling and threatening people. Sure, let’s let them stay on the train 24/7 so that the city doesn’t have to do anything…. That will just turn the train into a moving homeless encampment.
And every time they build a new line they say stuff like this is not gonna happen.Just wait and see what happens when they are done with the people mover at lax.There’s gonna be a source of homeless people at every terminal
Nowadays street homeless and are fentanyl addicts, and not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is. Street encampments are open air drugs markets brewing all sorts of crime. Majority of them will die from fentanyl overdose, or drugs related violence. Second hand fentanyl smoke can easily kill you in no time. Street homeless gradually destroy everything around themselves. We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl drug available on our streets. If they can afford, they smoke fentanyl up to 100 times a day.

Many of these people should be taken into custody through 51-50, but then youd have dozens of phsyciatric hospitals full. Let me tell you, as someone who has been in one because of false allegations, i looked at all these people with mental problems, some of them talking to themselves or just walking around in circles, I thought, “wow! If homeless people were brought here, theyd have immediate housing, a bed to sleep on, food, medical treatment and help to recovery and other resources”. Except in these facilities, if youre unable to prove the ability to help yourself or dont have a plan, theyll keep you there. But nope. The govt would rather keep them in the streets and not have to assume responsibility over them.
@@selectiveapathy those talking to themselves or walking in circles are on meth. All street drugs are laced with fentanyl nowadays including meth, plus they add cocktail of nasty chemicals such as horse tranquilizer, rat poison, and such. Those zombified, always slow and sleepy, they are on fentanyl pill popular blues M30 Fetty.
@@AllenHanPR Very true, but it is a potential solution to at least help dramatically limit this problem. I don't think allowing the homeless to get on the trains or buses helps in any way.
Homeless have metro passes often free from various programs. So this wouldn't solve anything. Don't be shortsighted and say they need to stop giving away free Metro passes. Because a good percentage use these passes to go to work, and get off the streets.
Yeah imagine riding to work/school/grocery stores, etc. and being shoulder to shoulder with people who are seriously so mentally ill and/or intoxicated folks who are urinating and puking everywhere. Public transportation is for people to get to where they need to go and aren't here to house those who need more than just a place to crash. It's totally unfair for everyone involved. From what I understand, this is solely an American issue too.
It’s an American issue because instead of focusing on the root cause of homelessness like drugs, mental illness, high cost of rent, the government enables the drug user, enables crime, won’t spend money on mental health facilities and affordable living. Instead, our border is wide open so millions of illegal aliens that don’t go through the proper channels are invading our communities and taking up our tax dollars that should go toward fixing the homeless crisis.
@Lil Queerdoe Or, drive?? Who are these "quality" people of whom you speak? Lol, then again.. Must be a nightmare driving anywhere in that liberal utopia, otherwise known as CA. 😆
There’s not a whole lot of jobs that appeal to us African Americans we’re not gonna do dirty work and we’re not gonna dress up in a tie or do a whole lot of math.
If it's anything like in Sacramento with our light rail system, it's essentially an honor system since there are no turnstiles anywhere. You come on from the sidewalk for the most part, then get off at another sidewalk. Then it's up to the company itself to have officers onboard that check everyone for their passes. But there are large gaps in time where there just isn't anyone on to check passes. There are never any arrests or anything either. It's literally just "oh, you don't have a pass? Well then you need to get off at the next stop." and then they just get off the light rail, wait for the next one and get on that.
@@bubba6989 there's always a door next to it or some don't have turnstiles tbh anybody can get for free now they don't press the issue like a few years back and give tickets
Over where I live every business for a mile stretch has had their windows smashed. They scream throw stuff and leave needles. It’s disgusting let’s move them to the rich neighborhoods or where the politicians live. They don’t care cause it’s not their neighborhood
And I guarantee you that all those business owners with the smashed windows voted the politicians in office and will continue to vote the same politicians in office. I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone living in California. You voted these "progressives" in office so now live with the consequences.
I had a moment at work where a homeless women walked into the area I worked and began to change her clothing and even insert her tampon in the back area where I bring in shopping carts, and im there like "Lady we have a restroom inside where you can do that" and she said "Oh no im fine, its dirty in there" So yeah I used to feel sorry for these people, now they just get me so angry seeing them now.
Just become homeless and actually accept the help and freebies that come with it. I don't do drugs and rarely drink liquor, so I could live the good life as a homeless person in Los Angeles obtaining shelter and whatnot.
Or use taxes to build a housing area for the homeless in the desert. Anyone caught causing trouble in the city, should be sent off to a designated homeless village.

They constantly say that such and such a billionaire has donated so much, but they cannot build a simple psychiatric hospital for the mentally ill, so the patients live right on the street. So, they constantly lie about this charity, and billionaires just walk away from taxes. In the richest country in the world, mentally ill people do not have the opportunity to meet basic needs.

In ca you can't force mental health tx, unless the person is a danger self or others....then there are drug issues and people want to live that lifestyle...smh
Los Angeles County has received billions for the homelessness problems. No mental health facilities or safe housing built that would provide employment for medical professionals and housing administrators. Where's the money?
I think you would make a good point, if most of the homeless weren't on drugs. You can build all the psychiatric hospitals you want they won't stay there. As soon as they need there next fix they cut out.
LOL… this issue was an issue long before Newsome. Educate yourself before you make rudimentary comments about important issues from your cozy recliner and before you accuse another of being out of touch. 🙄

@@whyamiheredlb you're right, this issue has been around since the days of Jesus but never have we seen the amount of homeless as we see now under any other Governor. Newsome's approach along with other like minded politicians have enabled homelessness and drug use. Maybe I should pull up some news coverage videos of how these non profits are caught dumping all of the goods bought with state funded money instead of giving it to those in need. Or videos of people who have been assaulted or killed by the homeless because the policies under the current administration have made it harder to prosecute reckless behavior committed by the protected non tax paying class. Let me take a knee and lock hands in solidarity with all of the looters and pretend I empathize with their "struggle" of entitlement instead of taking immediate action... I may be making these comments from the comfort of my recliner but I can gaurantee you this recliner was bought with hard earned tax paying dollars. Not given to me out of pitty, or taken from the curb off of someone's trash pile. I WORK LONG HOURS FOR WHAT I HAVE. i dont eff off my day consuming drugs or hoarding trash. Once you put in your 8-14 hour work days and watch your once calm neighborhood go to shit can you talk about who's out of touch.
I think that we as citizens we should pull our money together and rent a tour buses and give the homeless free tours of our politicians homes and drop them off there. Tour guide - “ and next up is the luxurious home of our congress women Maxine Watters …..yes we can drop you off so you can get a better look “ .
Excellent idea! We can call it the Abbott Express bus line. Don't forget the Governor's Mansion. It must be nice & cool inside because Gavin baby had the nerve to tell all of us serfs to turn up our a/c & not use electricity as he wore fleece. He puts up some homeless in $500/night hotel rooms but demolishes tiny homes that people build with their own money for vets & elderly homeless people. This state now longer uses common sense or logic!
They can do as they please. They can sleep in the stations, smoke, do drugs etc. They need to be committed to a hospital. And kept there. Stop giving them rights.

Insane asylums used to be an excellent example for people who misbehaved. Worst than prisons at one point. They need to bring them back in order to sedate these people.
Keep voting blue!! Keep raising those taxes and keep putting in laws that don’t allow police to do their jobs! California is a state we’re all so proud of!!
After the last trip the trains are brought into the service yard to be mechanically inspected/repaired and cleaned for the next days service. Long Beach asking metro to bring the homeless into the service yard so the city doesn't have to deal with them is asinine! The homeless are not metros fault or problem...i can also guarantee that the same homeless that are getting off the train in long beach probably got on the train in long beach and rode it back and forth all day....
This is beyond ridiculous! As taxpayers you deserve better protection than what you’re getting from the police and from the government. Your only option is actually to hire private security and send the bill to the state.
Stupid comment. You don't understand what would happen if Russia starts taking a bunch of countries over. It would impact us nore than 600 billion over time.
Moving them around the city doesn’t help AT ALL. They are all across the city. The city needs to do something and be proactive and stop blaming housing on the issue. Housing has nothing to do with it. These people need mental help. Smh it’s a shame
I also think that they need to make illegal drugs legal (with regulations) and create hospital banks for people to safely manage their addictions and withdrawals. We have to stop acting like housing is really the solutions. By having a central point addicts will stop wondering the streets creating chaos.

So where are the social workers at the end of the night?! If the business owners are really upset. Why are they not addressing the question? The homeless people are not the problem. The Metro IS NOT THE PROBLEM! Hotel rooms have empty rooms at the end of every night! SO WHERE ARE THE SOCIAL WORKERS WITH THE MOTEL VOUCHERS?!
Lol so motel workers have qualifications to deal with homeless mentally ill? Not. It’s dangerous. You just wat to pass the problem to someone else. Imagine the mess underpaid housekeeping has to clean up when housing these people.
Do you want your social worker daughter or mother to get mugged and potentially assaulted at night? Politicians need to use tax payers' money, support police officers, and start doing street sweeps. Instead of prison they need to taked them to a mandatory assylum where they can get clean for 30 days and then set free.

This is the solution for almost every state where it snows or gets too cold. They just send their homeless to CA. They promise them CA will take care of them.

Back in the day there were ticket 🎟 checkers and police and sheriff deputies checking tickets and if you didn't have a ticket, they kicked you off and maybe handcuffed if you had a warrant.......WHERE ARE THEY NOW

It sure was and then the bus riders union filed a lawsuit because they felt it was discrimination towards low income patrons and won. That's why fare enforcement isn't enforced. Unless bodily physical harm is done, they can't be removed.
I've been a driver with them for 20 yrs. This has been a forever problem. Since before I was driving. Homelessness isn't going to end with the way the economy is setup. It's a no win situation.
I came from Northern California. The subway system up there is worse than this. They used to have fare checkers and write tickets, but then progressives came out with their favorite argument that wins every time "what about the minorities". They said minorities can't afford to pay so they stopped checking for tickets and now it is estimated they lose anywhere between $50-$100 million a year in fares. If you stand at one subway entrance, you will see on average 80% of riders jump the gates or force the gates open without paying. There are regularly homicides and rapes on the subway each week, but nothing will be done because they will scream "what about the minorities" and then things will go on as normal. People who live in California and vote for these politicians deserve everything they get and should stop complaining.

It's not Metro's job to find help for the homeless. As to paying, don't get mad when the police or security ticket someone or tells them they have to get off. You can't have it both ways. I'm just saying.
The stem of this problem is the Homeless are getting on these trains without paying, if there were enforcement to pay a fare to ride then homeless wouldn’t be on these trains to begin with… that’s the problem.
You don't want law enforcement because there's gonna be confrontation. And a homeless person is not going to comply. If they lunch at a police officer with any kind of weapon and he shoots them you're gonna be mad you're gonna be protected. This is exactly what this is all about.
How the hell did they get on the train in the first place? You actually think they have valid tap cards with sufficient fare? kick them off the train in Compton and Watts or Signal Hill. Start there. I RIDE that train occasionally all the way from 7th and metro clear down to 1st Street in Long Beach. I don't know how they get on there but they're always shouting and threatening.

@Whiterun Guard you can be homeless and be hygienic about it. Get a tent, clean your space, shower at gyms through the money you get collecting cans and stuff, ask for toothbrushes and tooth paste from those that distribute it for homeless, get food from food banks, respect people, go to your local library and ask for a library card, research things, make money online, buy a laptop, buy a modem aka portable internet, make friends in your field through seminars, get a car. It's not easy nor can anyone just do what I said but to be a douche and destroy stuff and hurt others because of your personal problems is not a good thing when others are being negatively affected by it. Feels bad for the other homeless just trying to not freeze to death at night. It gets really cold at night. It gets so cold, your back gets sharp pain and it's super uncomfortable and the only thing you can do is just take it. So yeah, I was all for homeless going to the train and sleeping there til it was day time then just leave the train and go to a bench and rest or anywhere you can.

If the police would enforce the law on the homeless that would solve some of the problem. Right now if you're homeless you can pretty much do whatever you want and there's no consequences.
Police can arrest all day but you all voted to be soft on crime and they are out of jail before the officers finish paperwork. How is defunding police working for you?
@@shanaolson1812 it is illegal to urinate in public, break into people's homes cars and garages and block sidewalks that disabled people need to go through with their wheelchairs and scooters just to name a few.
There are, but California is to spineless to do this. Surrounding states encourage their poor to travel to California for housing, benefits. I'm in the field working with folks who've told me they've even been given bus / plane tickets and encouraged to apply for housing, GR funds. Literally we have at least 20% of our homeless from out of state. And they aren't working, or contributing, and are waiting for free services to house them, feed them, and sustain them. I have been speaking on this issue for a while, and I've said it clearly that California needs to canvas which of our homeless are from out of state, and they need to be sent back to their State of Origin, because it's those states who should be responsible in helping their citizens, and not bussing them over to us. This would reduce homelessness on one end. Then there are California Resident Homeless who have cognitive, developmental disorders who need evaluations so that they can be serviced by the Regional Center. The Regional Center can then work on family finding services to place the developmentally delayed, or house them in adult group home, or adult FHA foster homes. Then there is the issue of RSO housing units, where several families have improved their financial situations over the past 10+ years, and continue to live in Rent Control units, when the entire family has grown to earn as a family unit far beyond 100K. These families can afford more but won't leave these units because they are paying less than 18% of their household income. They are holding on to units that should go to real low-income families. There are solutions, but the city, state, counties don't want to change policies that might make them look progressively right wing.
The problem is that the politicians in California pander to the progressives in order to get re-elected, keep the homeless megaplex going, then make their bank.
@Usual Suspects I was an activist in Madison if you don't think that is a productive thing to do then you are part of the problem.

We had all that, but recently they decided that they don’t want to spend all that money on those programs anymore. This is why we are seeing this problem everywhere

@Jellyboy so called fentanyl pill popular blues M30 Fetty contains: fentanyl, sedative benzo, horse tranquilizer, rat poison, and milk or baby powder plus who knows what other nasty synthetic chemicals. It takes one smoking and human is addicted to this combo. 10 years ago when fentanyl pills came directly from China, it contained just fentanyl plus baby powder. Then, it took about a week of smoking before human would be addicted to it. There are plenty of cases when people got either addicted or died from nowadays secondhand fentanyl smoke. That's googleble. These are all verifiably facts.
Yes because being homeless wasn't a crime, but criminal behavior was. Today in California, criminal behavior is no longer a crime. You can walk around and do anything you want short of murder with no consequences. Being homeless should absolutely not be a crime, but any criminal behavior committed while homeless should absolutely be treated as a crime with consequences.

Strange that you have folks coming into the US illegally and are treated much better than the homeless. Those entering the country illegally are given jobs, housing, government support while the homeless suffer. This has to change.
The difference is the govt knows they can put the illegals to work, the homeless are completely unemployable due to their history of mental illness and drug abuse. This situation is going to explode one day and all of California will be full of these zombies like the walking dead.
The homeless are usually mental patients on drugs who seek attention anyway they can. There's on on Figueroa and adams that constantly rides her wheelchair into active traffic.
Stop it. You are really always dreaming if you really think the solution is giving them a job. Walk through skid row and ask who wants a job. Only thing on their mind is the next fix not finding a job. Lets be real here.

Downtown LB is absolutely disgusting. It’s a dumping ground for drug addicts, homeless, mentally ill. It’s so sad. This city, county, state and country are completely going the wrong way.
Yes you can. They purposely reduced the number of officers protecting the trains, they don't enforce train fares and couldn't care less that their stations are landfills, thanks to the homeless.
Metro is a government agency with local and federal funding The funding they get from government doesn’t even come close to the amount that would be collect in forcing to collect the fare. The more bus and train are out in service the more people they pick up (if they pay the fare or not don’t matter. ) the more government funding they get. That’s why metro got billions $ to build all these new projects. And even started new program ( Micro ride ). Which is like Uber but operated by LA Metro for its customer that don’t want to ride The bus or train because of the homeless or crime that happens. No matter what we all get screwed. High gas prices or Jack up public transportation

Gave them an inch, they took a mile. We were nearly attacked on the metro a couple weeks ago. Some homeless asshole didn't like other riders brushing against his life's hard work in his stolen shopping cart. He started hurling racial slurs, calling us dumb ass crackers and spicks, talking crazy about how Jesus was about to spill the blood of the lambs on that train, threatening several times to kill us. There was a kid standing a few feet from him. After what seemed like an eternity, he got off at the wrong stop and started bashing the side of the train with a metal fence post when he realized. The whole time this was happening, all I could think about was what would happen to me or anyone else physically and legally if we had to defend ourselves against this. This place is a nightmare.
States get so much money from taxpayers. If politicians would quit giving themselves raises all the time and have a limit to what these politicians can earn, like no more than 100,000 a year, and quit squandering the rest they could build or renovate old buildings that can handle the mentally ill. Turn old buildings into psych wards to help them, not abuse them. Give them something to live for. They are angry with the world. They don't care if they live or die. But there are homeless that aren't addicts. Whole families thrown out of their homes with no where to go. Banks should not be able to foreclose on your home for a few months of missed payments. Add it to the back of the loan til they can overcome whatever happened. After 2 yrs then see what's wrong. Then foreclose..if they can't be helped.

ATTN: EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE Here's the answer. Build a huge lot out in the woods away from the cities. Have police enforcement, healthcare & job resources available for them. Make it free, free food & cots to sleep. Showers available too. Absolutely free to go but strict guidelines, if they don't want to stay they have to live in the woods. Problem solved.
I agree. They should have a bootcamp way out in the boondocks of Alabama. All of the services you mentioned should be provided. Three options: 1. Housing with services to get back on track. 2. Hardcore Bootcamp with Drill Sergeants for LIFE with those services for those who refuse assistance. 3. Federal prison indefinitely for those who want to act out.
Homeless ppl didn't become homeless by themselves. Family isn't family anymore. Lots of ppl with mental/drug abuse issues or just very stubborn or don't want to ruled by anything or anyone. There are options to come out of their situations but not enough. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. And blaming a bus system for "dumping" the undesirables into a neighborhood is ludacris. At the end of each bus and train shift they must be swept of passengers. Regardless of what end it's on. Yes it's unfortunate safety is being compromised but there's far more buses and trains in the system than what officers can patrol.
Well this is what happens when you defund the police. A good wack on the knee with a baton will correct the misbehavior, but ohhh noo, activists cant stand to see someone get disciplined. There is no reason for the homeless man to break that window other than he wants to get locked up. This is getting ridiculous and out of hand. Love and compassion is not going to resolve this issue.
@@exirokia1331 There is no need to lock everything up, but some homeless people destroy property in order to get arrested and have a place to sleep for the night.
Sure it will, you must be an expert 🤔 the homelessness crisis didn’t begin the defunding the police and it won’t end with refunding them. Your band aid solution is great for those who really don’t have the capacity to contribute much more to the conversation.
This homeless fiasco is terribly sad to me. Those persons wanting help don't get it; why's that? 🤔 YET...YET, THERE'S MONEY FOR CRIMINALS CROSSING THE BORDERS ILLEGALLY!!! Americans & veterans 1st!!!
If they don’t want the help, they will never get clean - it is their comfort zone, a safe feeling, where they feel good about themselves for that moment in time. I’m a recovering meth addict (4 years clean), I know that the need to get clean is way weaker than the desire to get high. It is one of the toughest tasks to finish successfully, overcoming addiction. Prison and forced rehabilitation may be a key component of fixing an issue that has plagued California and other states that have struggled with progressive thinking.
What I dislike is when we are going to work at 5am I mean the people that board to go to work. We get in the metro. And all the seats are taken. By homeless ppl and they smell some off them I have to get off and go to a cart that doesn't smell horrendous . My opinion they gotta sleep outside let the hard working ppl sit on the metro.. it's ridiculous.

Many of these people should be taken into custody through 51-50, but then youd have dozens of phsyciatric hospitals full.
Let me tell you, as someone who has been in one because of false allegations, i looked at all these people with mental problems, some of them talking to themselves or just walking around in circles, I thought, “wow! If homeless people were brought here, theyd have immediate housing, a bed to sleep on, food, medical treatment and help to recovery and other resources”. Except in these facilities, if youre unable to prove the ability to help yourself or dont have a plan, theyll keep you there.

From what I understand, this is solely an American issue too.
I wont let any of them sit near me. And if they do. I will do something.
@Lil Queerdoe Such a humble comment. God bless your humble heart sir.
It’s an American issue because instead of focusing on the root cause of homelessness like drugs, mental illness, high cost of rent, the government enables the drug user, enables crime, won’t spend money on mental health facilities and affordable living. Instead, our border is wide open so millions of illegal aliens that don’t go through the proper channels are invading our communities and taking up our tax dollars that should go toward fixing the homeless crisis.
@Lil Queerdoe Or, drive?? Who are these "quality" people of whom you speak? Lol, then again.. Must be a nightmare driving anywhere in that liberal utopia, otherwise known as CA. 😆

Why are they even allowed on the train to begin with. You need to pay to ride the train. It's the same excuse from these no good politicians.
They jump those turn-styles all the time.
If it's anything like in Sacramento with our light rail system, it's essentially an honor system since there are no turnstiles anywhere. You come on from the sidewalk for the most part, then get off at another sidewalk. Then it's up to the company itself to have officers onboard that check everyone for their passes. But there are large gaps in time where there just isn't anyone on to check passes. There are never any arrests or anything either. It's literally just "oh, you don't have a pass? Well then you need to get off at the next stop." and then they just get off the light rail, wait for the next one and get on that.
They have let these roaches do as they please. Commit people to mental hospitals like they use to.

We should all come together and don’t work for a day or two not pay taxes and see how fast this will be fixed
Just become homeless and actually accept the help and freebies that come with it. I don't do drugs and rarely drink liquor, so I could live the good life as a homeless person in Los Angeles obtaining shelter and whatnot.
Or use taxes to build a housing area for the homeless in the desert. Anyone caught causing trouble in the city, should be sent off to a designated homeless village.
Nowadays street homeless and are fentanyl addicts, and not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is. Street encampments are open air drugs markets brewing all sorts of crime.

They constantly say that such and such a billionaire has donated so much, but they cannot build a simple psychiatric hospital for the mentally ill, so the patients live right on the street. So, they constantly lie about this charity, and billionaires just walk away from taxes. In the richest country in the world, mentally ill people do not have the opportunity to meet basic needs.

In ca you can't force mental health tx, unless the person is a danger self or others....then there are drug issues and people want to live that lifestyle...smh
Los Angeles County has received billions for the homelessness problems. No mental health facilities or safe housing built that would provide employment for medical professionals and housing administrators. Where's the money?
I think you would make a good point, if most of the homeless weren't on drugs. You can build all the psychiatric hospitals you want they won't stay there. As soon as they need there next fix they cut out.
And to think Gavin Newsome is hinting at a presidential run. That guy is completely out of touch.

@@whyamiheredlb you're right, this issue has been around since the days of Jesus but never have we seen the amount of homeless as we see now under any other Governor. Newsome's approach along with other like minded politicians have enabled homelessness and drug use. Maybe I should pull up some news coverage videos of how these non profits are caught dumping all of the goods bought with state funded money instead of giving it to those in need. Or videos of people who have been assaulted or killed by the homeless because the policies under the current administration have made it harder to prosecute reckless behavior committed by the protected non tax paying class. Let me take a knee and lock hands in solidarity with all of the looters and pretend I empathize with their "struggle" of entitlement instead of taking immediate action... I may be making these comments from the comfort of my recliner but I can gaurantee you this recliner was bought with hard earned tax paying dollars. Not given to me out of pitty, or taken from the curb off of someone's trash pile. I WORK LONG HOURS FOR WHAT I HAVE. i dont eff off my day consuming drugs or hoarding trash. Once you put in your 8-14 hour work days and watch your once calm neighborhood go to shit can you talk about who's out of touch.
I think that we as citizens we should pull our money together and rent a tour buses and give the homeless free tours of our politicians homes and drop them off there. Tour guide - “ and next up is the luxurious home of our congress women Maxine Watters …..yes we can drop you off so you can get a better look “ .
Excellent idea! We can call it the Abbott Express bus line. Don't forget the Governor's Mansion. It must be nice & cool inside because Gavin baby had the nerve to tell all of us serfs to turn up our a/c & not use electricity as he wore fleece. He puts up some homeless in $500/night hotel rooms but demolishes tiny homes that people build with their own money for vets & elderly homeless people. This state now longer uses common sense or logic!
What money?? We are broke out here.

The homeless are not metros fault or problem...i can also guarantee that the same homeless that are getting off the train in long beach probably got on the train in long beach and rode it back and forth all day....

Moving them around the city doesn’t help AT ALL. They are all across the city. The city needs to do something and be proactive and stop blaming housing on the issue. Housing has nothing to do with it. These people need mental help. Smh it’s a shame
I also think that they need to make illegal drugs legal (with regulations) and create hospital banks for people to safely manage their addictions and withdrawals. We have to stop acting like housing is really the solutions. By having a central point addicts will stop wondering the streets creating chaos.

So where are the social workers at the end of the night?! If the business owners are really upset. Why are they not addressing the question? The homeless people are not the problem. The Metro IS NOT THE PROBLEM! Hotel rooms have empty rooms at the end of every night! SO WHERE ARE THE SOCIAL WORKERS WITH THE MOTEL VOUCHERS?!
Lol so motel workers have qualifications to deal with homeless mentally ill? Not. It’s dangerous. You just wat to pass the problem to someone else. Imagine the mess underpaid housekeeping has to clean up when housing these people.
Do you want your social worker daughter or mother to get mugged and potentially assaulted at night? Politicians need to use tax payers' money, support police officers, and start doing street sweeps. Instead of prison they need to taked them to a mandatory assylum where they can get clean for 30 days and then set free.

I've been a driver with them for 20 yrs. This has been a forever problem. Since before I was driving. Homelessness isn't going to end with the way the economy is setup. It's a no win situation.
I came from Northern California. The subway system up there is worse than this. They used to have fare checkers and write tickets, but then progressives came out with their favorite argument that wins every time "what about the minorities". They said minorities can't afford to pay so they stopped checking for tickets and now it is estimated they lose anywhere between $50-$100 million a year in fares. If you stand at one subway entrance, you will see on average 80% of riders jump the gates or force the gates open without paying. There are regularly homicides and rapes on the subway each week, but nothing will be done because they will scream "what about the minorities" and then things will go on as normal. People who live in California and vote for these politicians deserve everything they get and should stop complaining.

It's not Metro's job to find help for the homeless.
As to paying, don't get mad when the police or security ticket someone or tells them they have to get off.
You can't have it both ways.
I'm just saying.
The stem of this problem is the Homeless are getting on these trains without paying, if there were enforcement to pay a fare to ride then homeless wouldn’t be on these trains to begin with… that’s the problem.
You don't want law enforcement because there's gonna be confrontation. And a homeless person is not going to comply. If they lunch at a police officer with any kind of weapon and he shoots them you're gonna be mad you're gonna be protected. This is exactly what this is all about.
How the hell did they get on the train in the first place? You actually think they have valid tap cards with sufficient fare? kick them off the train in Compton and Watts or Signal Hill. Start there.

@Whiterun Guard you can be homeless and be hygienic about it. Get a tent, clean your space, shower at gyms through the money you get collecting cans and stuff, ask for toothbrushes and tooth paste from those that distribute it for homeless, get food from food banks, respect people, go to your local library and ask for a library card, research things, make money online, buy a laptop, buy a modem aka portable internet, make friends in your field through seminars, get a car. It's not easy nor can anyone just do what I said but to be a douche and destroy stuff and hurt others because of your personal problems is not a good thing when others are being negatively affected by it. Feels bad for the other homeless just trying to not freeze to death at night. It gets really cold at night. It gets so cold, your back gets sharp pain and it's super uncomfortable and the only thing you can do is just take it.

You people in Long beach need to be educated about why and how these humans became unhoused. Stop hating and start helping. 😃
If the police would enforce the law on the homeless that would solve some of the problem. Right now if you're homeless you can pretty much do whatever you want and there's no consequences.
California was yelling defund the police look at ya know
Police can arrest all day but you all voted to be soft on crime and they are out of jail before the officers finish paperwork.
How is defunding police working for you?
Courts have ruled it is not against the law to be too poor to afford a home.

How about puting these people back in jail where they belong?!?
We need feasible solutions for homelessness in LA, not just stigmatization, complaints or empty promises!
There are, but California is to spineless to do this. Surrounding states encourage their poor to travel to California for housing, benefits. I'm in the field working with folks who've told me they've even been given bus / plane tickets and encouraged to apply for housing, GR funds. Literally we have at least 20% of our homeless from out of state. And they aren't working, or contributing, and are waiting for free services to house them, feed them, and sustain them.
I have been speaking on this issue for a while, and I've said it clearly that California needs to canvas which of our homeless are from out of state, and they need to be sent back to their State of Origin, because it's those states who should be responsible in helping their citizens, and not bussing them over to us. This would reduce homelessness on one end.
Then there are California Resident Homeless who have cognitive, developmental disorders who need evaluations so that they can be serviced by the Regional Center. The Regional Center can then work on family finding services to place the developmentally delayed, or house them in adult group home, or adult FHA foster homes.
Then there is the issue of RSO housing units, where several families have improved their financial situations over the past 10+ years, and continue to live in Rent Control units, when the entire family has grown to earn as a family unit far beyond 100K. These families can afford more but won't leave these units because they are paying less than 18% of their household income. They are holding on to units that should go to real low-income families.
There are solutions, but the city, state, counties don't want to change policies that might make them look progressively right wing.
The problem is that the politicians in California pander to the progressives in order to get re-elected, keep the homeless megaplex going, then make their bank.
@Usual Suspects I was an activist in Madison if you don't think that is a productive thing to do then you are part of the problem. I am fighting for Solutions not only for myself but for society as a whole. And before you ask, yes I have income and I'm working to remedy my housing situation immediately
@Usual Suspects I welcome open minds, closed judgmental minds don't solve problems.
We had all that, but recently they decided that they don’t want to spend all that money on those programs anymore. This is why we are seeing this problem everywhere
Ask yourself this downtown la or downton long beach??? Its that simple of a choice for a homeless person, long beach is obviously the pick

@Jellyboy so called fentanyl pill popular blues M30 Fetty contains: fentanyl, sedative benzo, horse tranquilizer, rat poison, and milk or baby powder plus who knows what other nasty synthetic chemicals. It takes one smoking and human is addicted to this combo. 10 years ago when fentanyl pills came directly from China, it contained just fentanyl plus baby powder. Then, it took about a week of smoking before human would be addicted to it.
There are plenty of cases when people got either addicted or died from nowadays secondhand fentanyl smoke. That's googleble. These are all verifiably facts.
This is so crazy. 15 years ago we had homeless but they didn't act like this. We have a mental health crisis.
Yes because being homeless wasn't a crime, but criminal behavior was. Today in California, criminal behavior is no longer a crime. You can walk around and do anything you want short of murder with no consequences. Being homeless should absolutely not be a crime, but any criminal behavior committed while homeless should absolutely be treated as a crime with consequences.

Strange that you have folks coming into the US illegally and are treated much better than the homeless. Those entering the country illegally are given jobs, housing, government support while the homeless suffer. This has to change.
Majority of homeless are drug addicts or mentally I’ll that’s why they can’t get a job or home. Dreamer 😂
The difference is the govt knows they can put the illegals to work, the homeless are completely unemployable due to their history of mental illness and drug abuse. This situation is going to explode one day and all of California will be full of these zombies like the walking dead.
The homeless are usually mental patients on drugs who seek attention anyway they can. There's on on Figueroa and adams that constantly rides her wheelchair into active traffic.
Stop it. You are really always dreaming if you really think the solution is giving them a job.
Walk through skid row and ask who wants a job. Only thing on their mind is the next fix not finding a job. Lets be real here.

Downtown LB is absolutely disgusting. It’s a dumping ground for drug addicts, homeless, mentally ill. It’s so sad. This city, county, state and country are completely going the wrong way.
Sounds like long stretches of Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. THEY allowed it to get this way. This is by design.
u cant blame the metro.
It's their fault. They let homeless evade fares and ride for free, then dump them.
@@robertm2663 Bus driver is not security. They can tell you not to, but these criminals don’t care
Yes you can. They purposely reduced the number of officers protecting the trains, they don't enforce train fares and couldn't care less that their stations are landfills, thanks to the homeless.
Metro is a government agency with local and federal funding The funding they get from government doesn’t even come close to the amount that would be collect in forcing to collect the fare. The more bus and train are out in service the more people they pick up (if they pay the fare or not don’t matter. ) the more government funding they get. That’s why metro got billions $ to build all these new projects. And even started new program ( Micro ride ). Which is like Uber but operated by LA Metro for its customer that don’t want to ride The bus or train because of the homeless or crime that happens. No matter what we all get screwed. High gas prices or Jack up public transportation

@@americajones8642 to make matters even worse, fentanyl is getting replaced by nitazenes chemicals that are 40 times stronger than fentanyl. As it happens, overdose deaths and street homelessness will just skyrocket with no end to it. It will be very very ugly on our streets.
It’s sad but it doesn’t justify what they’re doing.
It’s so scary to walk my dogs in Hollywood because of the aggressive and drug fueled homeless scavenging through our street everyday. They dig through our trashes, leaving trash all over the front of the house and after many calls to LAPD, they never show up. The worse is when I use the metro though. I am scared everyday when I have to use metro red line to get to union station because of the homeless situation. I get called slurs, have sketchy people approach me and witness so much sadness that is never addressed by legislators.
What slurs do they call you and who mostly is calling them ? Like what type of ppl *?*

Someone was hurt .
Gave them an inch, they took a mile. We were nearly attacked on the metro a couple weeks ago. Some homeless asshole didn't like other riders brushing against his life's hard work in his stolen shopping cart. He started hurling racial slurs, calling us dumb ass crackers and spicks, talking crazy about how Jesus was about to spill the blood of the lambs on that train, threatening several times to kill us. There was a kid standing a few feet from him. After what seemed like an eternity, he got off at the wrong stop and started bashing the side of the train with a metal fence post when he realized. The whole time this was happening, all I could think about was what would happen to me or anyone else physically and legally if we had to defend ourselves against this. This place is a nightmare.
the rich should come together and donate to help build a shelter for the greater good of homelessness
That has been done the problem is the homeless prefer the streets because they get free money and food. It's the mental illness and drugs.
States get so much money from taxpayers. If politicians would quit giving themselves raises all the time and have a limit to what these politicians can earn, like no more than 100,000 a year, and quit squandering the rest they could build or renovate old buildings that can handle the mentally ill. Turn old buildings into psych wards to help them, not abuse them. Give them something to live for. They are angry with the world. They don't care if they live or die. But there are homeless that aren't addicts. Whole families thrown out of their homes with no where to go. Banks should not be able to foreclose on your home for a few months of missed payments. Add it to the back of the loan til they can overcome whatever happened. After 2 yrs then see what's wrong. Then foreclose..if they can't be helped.
These people can't be housed. They need forced medication and rehab.

Exactly
Unfortunately you can’t force them if they decline to
ATTN: EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE Here's the answer. Build a huge lot out in the woods away from the cities. Have police enforcement, healthcare & job resources available for them. Make it free, free food & cots to sleep. Showers available too. Absolutely free to go but strict guidelines, if they don't want to stay they have to live in the woods. Problem solved.
That would have devastating ramifications on the environment, I.e. trash
What homeless will want to stay in the woods? Lol. It’s like putting them away in a jail forest.. you can’t force them to live in the woods..
I agree. They should have a bootcamp way out in the boondocks of Alabama. All of the services you mentioned should be provided.
Three options:
1. Housing with services to get back on track.
2. Hardcore Bootcamp with Drill Sergeants for LIFE with those services for those who refuse assistance.
3. Federal prison indefinitely for those who want to act out.
Homeless ppl didn't become homeless by themselves. Family isn't family anymore. Lots of ppl with mental/drug abuse issues or just very stubborn or don't want to ruled by anything or anyone. There are options to come out of their situations but not enough. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. And blaming a bus system for "dumping" the undesirables into a neighborhood is ludacris. At the end of each bus and train shift they must be swept of passengers. Regardless of what end it's on. Yes it's unfortunate safety is being compromised but there's far more buses and trains in the system than what officers can patrol.
Well this is what happens when you defund the police. A good wack on the knee with a baton will correct the misbehavior, but ohhh noo, activists cant stand to see someone get disciplined. There is no reason for the homeless man to break that window other than he wants to get locked up. This is getting ridiculous and out of hand. Love and compassion is not going to resolve this issue.
Yeah lock everything and everyone up like a caged animal? 🤔
@@exirokia1331 If someone is acting like a rabid animal by choice then why not?
@@exirokia1331 There is no need to lock everything up, but some homeless people destroy property in order to get arrested and have a place to sleep for the night.
Sure it will, you must be an expert 🤔 the homelessness crisis didn’t begin the defunding the police and it won’t end with refunding them. Your band aid solution is great for those who really don’t have the capacity to contribute much more to the conversation.
@@exirokia1331 you are catching on quick. Act like an animal………
This homeless fiasco is terribly sad to me. Those persons wanting help don't get it; why's that? 🤔 YET...YET, THERE'S MONEY FOR CRIMINALS CROSSING THE BORDERS ILLEGALLY!!! Americans & veterans 1st!!!
Honestly it’s hard to help those who don’t want the help or not aware that they need the help
they need prison, not help.
If they don’t want the help, they will never get clean - it is their comfort zone, a safe feeling, where they feel good about themselves for that moment in time. I’m a recovering meth addict (4 years clean), I know that the need to get clean is way weaker than the desire to get high. It is one of the toughest tasks to finish successfully, overcoming addiction. Prison and forced rehabilitation may be a key component of fixing an issue that has plagued California and other states that have struggled with progressive thinking.
What I dislike is when we are going to work at 5am I mean the people that board to go to work. We get in the metro. And all the seats are taken. By homeless ppl and they smell some off them I have to get off and go to a cart that doesn't smell horrendous . My opinion they gotta sleep outside let the hard working ppl sit on the metro.. it's ridiculous.
Everyone so tired of the homeless 🙄🙄
