I am riding my bicycle through the alleys in downtown. Los Angeles is absolutely insane all the things you find, and all the graffiti’s covering the buildings you always find something new. - บันเทิง
And people of Los Angeles will still vote for the same politicians.
Especially the mail ballots.
Especially by mail.
Especially after they are dead
@@jaymike3302every body gets a mail in ballot whether you requested it or not!😡😡😡
Especially when truckloads of ballots show up at 3am and the polling place has brown paper covering the windows.
No way I’d dig around in that. Must be full of rats.
And carcinogens
And needles
Imagine the stench in that city. 😳
I’ve seen the rats in downtown L.A. at 3 a.m. They are so big you can put a saddle on them.
Rats are way cleaner than anyone that put its shit there.
LOL when you stood there in that mess and still yelled out “welcome to beautiful Los Angeles!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
He pronounced Los Angeles funny 😂 Los Angel Es instead of Los An Ge Les 😂
@@pookiewookie7679you understood him right? The GIV speaks at least 2 languages, be nice. It’s not easy being bilingual or trilingual
Appreciate the honesty in your videos, it's rare these days
When you pointed the camera at the electric polls I thought I was in Honduras
Or Bangkok!
Yeah , electric polls in LA or SF looks like from 50s hahah I was shocked when I saw it .. all over you US .. very embarrassing for America 🤦♀️
Thank you Mike for always, no matter how bad it gets, putting a positive image of L. A. out to your viewers. If you were here during the '60s and 70's, you remember there were opportunities everywhere. So very sad to see what it has become today. "Let's be careful out there".
I grew up in L.A. in 50s/60s/70s. It was a pretty great place to live. But it's changed so much and gone downhill, I don't want to go back there even for a visit.
@@egrogan6482 YOU ARE CORRECT! I hitchhiked from Philly after graduating from High School in June '64. I got a job at $1.50 per hour on Washington Ave near Lincoln Blvd, an apartment at Speedway & Wavecreast on the alley off the Venice Boardwalk, and paid $67.50 a month. I paid out-of-state tuition at Santa Monica City College. It was affordable. I was successful because of the values instilled in me by my parents. I was confident, had an excellent primary education, had a lot of passion, and was positive, as I still am! Mike is a very talented man of tremendous insight, as we know him on this channel.
You're a beautiful and compassionate person ❤
@darkandstormie Gee, you are the first person among the comments here that has a positive message, today's topic is damn Los Angeles, the homeless, addicts, maybe heading towards my City of Brotherly Love's Kensington neighborhood open-air drug scene. Mike has an artistic eye, he is a damn good artist and deserves much credit for his insight shared by his craft and Vlog. We are entertained and touched by his videos and narrations. Thank you for improving the comment section with something other than disgust.I appreciate your positive message amidst the discussions about the challenges in Los Angeles and the potential impact on neighborhoods like Kensington in Philadelphia. Mike's artistic talent and insightful videos add value to the conversation, offering a different perspective. Thank you for contributing positively to the comments section.
The funny thing about LA is if you watch a video showing the clean, nice parts it looks amazing. When you watch a video like this it looks like a dump.
LA is a place of extreme wealth and extreme poverty. A true tale of two cities
It’s a dump
Having grown up in San Diego, not a lot of people like going up there in LA. However, just to be fair and honest, both locations are a dump!
Whose district is that in this video?
GIV !!! You should open up a hotdog stand in front of your old store, just see how long it takes till they ask you to move. I have a feeling the store front will stay there for a long time, no one is gonna rent the place, LA is closing down
German hotdogs are great.
Solid business plan.
You're right,if he couldn't make it there no one can. His signs will be up for a long time me thinks.
meanwhile they can raise 50 million in one night to help Trump pay his lawyers............Hypocrites
@@nicktw8688 He can call it ,,,,,,,, GiV Hot Dog Stand!
@@RootsMusic-ek5nc Or raise millions for the Biden campaign
Mike remember, when one door closes, another one Opens ❤ We need you GIV !!! Thank you!
I agree! ❤ I'll never give up!
GIV, you are one of the best TH-camrs in the Los Angeles area. Thank you very much for ALL that you do.
@joelfrombethleham Man, why limit Mike to just L.A.? Let's give him more credit. See his Las Vegas videos, as well as Germany!
L.A. is really falling apart.
Was there back in 2019 for a whole summer. I could see the shit falling apart then
Worse in texas
@@Afineaddition I haven't been to L.A. city for a long time. I was in the valley in 2021 but for only a few hours to visit relatives.
Looked fine when I was there last month. Lots of people with lots of money, but every city and town has its shitty side though no matter where you are at.
Not all of LA looks like this lol this part of town has been this way for decades, it's a containment zone.
Hi glad u are ok
That garbage is absolutely disgusting
Beautiful cats
Part of California's green policy.😅😅😅
5/14/24...GIV---I BET THAT FIRE WAS SET...EITHER TO CLEAR OUT THE PLACE + TEAR IT DOWN. MAKE LOTS OF $$$ SELLING THE PROPERTY TO CLEAR OUT/BUILD A NEW BUILDING.
GIV---i THINK YOU'RE A NATURAL HERE...EVEN IN THE PILE OF DESTRUCTION.....
STAY SAFE!
LUV YOUR VIDEOS!
@@eileeneclark9011 there is a caps lock key on your keyboard, please use it.
LA is looking more and more like a mad max movie, this is why no tourist want to come here
I furnished my first apartment back in the early 1980s scavenging alleys in Beverly Hills. I found a working TV, a Danish modern leather sofa and arm chairs, coffee tables, a bookcase, out door wrought iron patio table and chairs, a 1960s dinette set, tons of books, magazines and pots and pans.
I did the same in 93
It is against the law in B.H. to go thru the trash. The BHPD will come for you if you get caught. B.H. Is an incorporated city with its own police, fire, etc. This sort of thing would NEVER happen there! There are other incorporated cities throughout and the same goes for them. L. A. Is the largest city and it is being run by the bluest of the blue (Karen Bass).This is what you get from BLUE politicians. Read it, weep and maybe make a difference next time you vote. In L. A. County AND the entire state!!!!
I live here and can assure you there’s no chance this is going to improve anytime soon. On the contrary, it’s spreading.
I live here as well, I’m moving to Dubai. LA is wrecked and I’m not waiting around for things to get better.
Open borders is a big reason why,illegal drugs coming across the border & we can't support the ten million illegals that have poured in. And some are seeking a better life but many like the Honduras come here to peddle drugs. Should have nipped it in the bud,too late now.
@@ericpetersen8155 I like Dubai. It is VERY safe. Would never see anything like this there. The USA is doomed and not coming back anytime soon.
This is how it goes back to Mexico ❕
@@ericpetersen8155 Quite a few celebrities have homes there now. If I was younger, and in better health, I'd move there yesterday. Cheers! 😎
Damn GIV I thought your storage exploded!
🤣🤣
It’s his new shop. Everything half price
You have an adventurous spirit and that's why you are good at what you do.
GIV, be careful out there Brother! And God Bless You, for all that You do!!!
Hello again,...I took a vacation from You Tube, so I missed a lot of your posts. Then because I am really old, I'm 70,......I got ill and had to stay in a hospital for almost 2 weeks. I just got out 3 days ago. I guess I'm going to live. They didn't find Cancer,....I just had a blocked intestine. I forget to stay hydrated. I sip water,....not enough to keep everything flowing. Good to see you again,...I love your reporting and videos.
Good for you
@@RollerCoasterLineProductions Yep,..for the win!
Glad you're better.
@@noonierune6933 Thanks!
Atb. Take care ❤
It’s so sad to see the City of Angels looking like The City of hell. Great one GIV
German in Venice! Future Tour Guide for fans )
I’d buy him a nice meal because I want to know about this TH-cam monetization
You really think that after a fire all those clothes are left there… This is what you call an urban dump a company dumped a bunch of clothes in the burnt out foundation of a business. Open your eyes and realize what is going on.
I’m talking from point that my house is burnt down and what you’re seeing is bullshit! You think a building burnt down and all those clothes are there and not burnt? American waste at its finest.
GiV, you always cheer me up! (I’m 68, dealing with cancer.)
Graffiti makes everything look like hot garbage and creates areas that you want to stay away from. It’s awful all around LA.
It's not the graffiti that makes it we actually get up in run down places and adding a more interesting element of waisted and decaying environments
Makes a so-so place look like a total shit hole.
I don't mind some of it,its actually art. That being said there's a time & a place for it even when its nice.
Its a shame that a lot of the really artistic and lifelike graffiti gets ruined by people who just tag their name over them.. Its about on the level of dogs wanting to pee to mark their territory and about the same intellectual level too.
How would it look otherwise? Gray and lifeless?
Very interesting GIV. Love from Australia.
Awesome another GiV video
Thank you GiV. 👍
Gavin Newsom’s apocalyptic policies for California leaves the state in ruins.
Newsom would say it's because of those Black Cats .... And his voters would believe it
Just think of this cat being a world leader, geez we'll be really in trouble, everyone!
Thank you, Michael! This was an interesting video!
God bless you, and your mom!
Mike thinks LA is not dangerous. He is getting real comfortable in shady situations. LA is a city with no mercy. Happens fast.
He has lived in LA for over 30 years. He knows the score...
Agree I would like TH-cam A.K. Nations opinion. Probably thinks he's too trusting.
LA's violent crime rate is actually not very high compared to many other large US cities.. You're much more likely to fall victim to theft/ property crime in LA
You think anything YOU say is going to be news to Mike? He’s seen it all, nothing is new to him.
only the lowest of the low would assault a chill dude like Mike
Enjoyed the vid. Thanks keep up the good work.
I love your videos man. Hope things get better for you.
Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg Germany 👋
Hab Deinen Kanal and i Love it.Liked , subscribed and shared 👍
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
GIV you should avoid burnt locations since there are lots of toxins & in that place which is very old asbestos. As always, great video!
Your awesome Mike, always seeing the beauty in life 🌅
Another day, another GIV video! Let’s gooooo!!
You will never get the smoke smell out of those shirts...
Vinegar bath
Loved your tour
Dang... this looks like end of the world kind of stuff...
GiV is the VIP
Tell that to Oktoberfest
@@user-lp1jw9bo5y yes, ok
Mike your videos are so real! Love it
GIV you did it again. Another great vlog, showing the world an honest, and fair perspective of Los Angeles.
Fun tour. Thanks!
Been 10 years since I have been to LA certainly gone down the shitter. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you for the tour and sharing thoughts… every place has its own story …and not all that shines is golden.
Keep it up Mike! GIV’s Finest work!
Looks third world.
Gavin Newsome’s world.
@@andrewjohnson5188 With so many businesses gone and none coming in the State has some hard times ahead.
@@davemitchell6281 You're right. We recently went from being the sixth largest economy in the world, to being the fifth largest economy. In. The. World. Tourism is at an all time high. Hard times, indeed. Whatever shall we do?!
@@kgreene460 Yes. The super elites are still there. While everything else is turning to garbage.
@@kgreene460 The super rich are getting richer. While the rest is like in this video.
I love All your videos 😊
Thank you GIV
This was entertaining
Many thanks for another interesting video. Good job.
Hi Mike, great video, never know what you'll find in the alley. Some of that graffiti was so good. Using cans of paint has got to be challenging, especially if you think the cop's might show up. The graffiti is everywhere, some phenomenal, and some just looks bad. All that razor wire to protect your property inside is crazy, and aall those power wire's look like a fire waiting to happen. That guy digging through the clothes cracked me up, he was digging deep, but when he said he found the whole outfit he was wearing with that big grin, that was to funny. There are so many places that look good out in LA, and so many places that look rough, but the GIV show's it all. Much love to you brother, was glad to see a new video, they are always good. I like the color of your shoes, glad they didn't get trashed from the fire. G-d bless from a lady in Michigan.
How can a brick building completely burn down, but not the clothes?
You got some strange fires in the US .
😂
That was incredible. From the tons of clothes of burnt out buildings to the really good art work especially the 3 D stuff, I m an artist and I cant do the 3 D stuff , that is just RAD! Thank you for that. You really show some interesting stuff Mike, I dont recall LA being like that growing up there in the 60 s. God bless you, Be well and safe.
Love your back alley videos! Keep it up!!!
You’re a kid at heart
@@XOXO-nq8fx so what ?
You made me glad I live small town in midwest.
Another great video GIV
Gave it a thumbs up. ❤your videos. Thanks 😊
Hay GIV back in the 1990’s 2000, I had a shop in the Bendex building, it was so busy back then, today it’s dead ☠️
3RD WORLD LOS ANGELES
@thatonekid71 Almost 4th world man, what a colorful alley, damn when I arrived in L.A. by hitchhiking across America in '64, it was seedy...I read the novel by John Richy's "City of Night."...Pershing Square was a weird place; skid row was there just expanded by a lot. Perhaps your generation has not been on top of maintaining the American Dream, which I lived. Our generation raised you guys. I assume we Failed to instill good values in our kids. I'll say we failed! I take responsibility! It is easy to blame somebody else for mistakes. "If we are gonna bitch, we gotta pitch"!
Love your reports GIV
You do the best LA videos. Appreciate you 👍
What the hell is going on there? Seriously...what is wrong with that city?
Apparently politics
Politicians
Too much to pay for trash pickup so people illegally dump their stuff
Corruption
Why always blame politicians??
Did you see any politicians spraying graffiti or dumping trash?
Its the people creating this mess not taking resposibility.
Parents not properly raising their children?
That dude in the clothes is 100% tweeked out.
Keep doing what your doing 💫 Luv the boots on the ground reporting of downtown LA. The graffiti is always impressive. ✌️
Great video!!!!!! It’s so sad to see all those old buildings just rotting away 😢
Damn that guy digging in the shit is so tweeked out of his mind, that he truly believes someone or something left treasure or a cache of drugs. In his mind, someone or something is urging him to dig in that and he will be rewarded or blessed with some findings.. it's truly sad how drugs can affect the mind and soul. I pray he finds deliverance in this evil world.
He definitely has fleas just from sitting in that. Even for a min sitting on it, his entire body and clothing will have fleas.. and he's touching his face. Thats how MRSA and disease spreads...
Looks like the Apocalypse to me! 😵💫
G.I.V showing the LA USA 🇺🇸 street news 📰 thank you G.I.V out about the LA USA 🇺🇸 Street NEWS 📰 REPORTER 😎👍
Thanks, Joe.
Another great video
Nobody can take the stench of the alleys in Los Angeles. Keep your day job GIV.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your generous donation
Love the alley tour GIV!❤😉👍
Love the content GIV!!!
Interview the graffiti crew!!!
Thanks German in Venice
We love you GiV!
❤THANK YOU GIV FOR THIS ♥️🎊🎊🎊VIDEO 🎊🎊🎊♥️
Those artists are everywhere there is a wall. Loved the video
PEOPLE are the biggest problem facing this planet.
hatred is... *cough*
@@mikejones-vd3fg Dumb People is why there is hatred.
Disconnect from God is the #1 problem.
leftist politicians cant run anything properly
Some are. The ones that don't do anything about the huge problems in L.A. and big cities. Being in POWER is more important.
We have electric poles in Nova Scotia. All we have . They are terrible . Tks for the video’s 🎉❤ always enjoy . Oh and I’d buy the hat GIV! Cheers
I Love DTLA! Nice work GIV!
Great Video!
Instant Like. Easy on the Mind. Peace from a fellow Deutchlander
You need to roll Venice beach an see how many for rent units. Then after summer how many. Hear there is going to be a lot of people leaving.
Loved it ❤️👍
Mike: great tour of the city that most don't see; stay safe.😃
Please be careful! There could be used needles,nails etc. I so enjoy your videos and as someone old enough to be your mother-get out of there or I’m gonna ground you for a week! Lol! We need the GIV to keep us updated on Cali!
All i need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ as usual I luv your photography you have a natural eye for it📷🎥
“You get what you expect, and you deserve what you tolerate.” 😮
Immer wieder interessante Einblicke in das ECHTE LA 👍
Los Angeles is the most beautiful place in the country, isn't it? Great job, Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom on this momentous accomplishment.
Thank you 👍
Thanks Mike 😊❤
Why aren’t these businesses RESPONSIBLE for cleaning up THEIR DESTROYED PROPERTY/INVENTORY?????
Because they are taxed 50% and security and cleanliness is assumed and promised with no results.
Wow.. LA looks ruff
Watching from Port Townsend Washington thx for the video
real world content , thanks for the window upon LA
