i go to venice beach to look at the homeless people as a tourist spot... said no one ever
If I wanted to see the homeless, I'd go to Skid Row.
@@outdoorsguy I go to my backyard alley..they dump more trash in the alley area lucky my area is clean
Venice was built to be like Venice Italy a center for art and music. We had many "characters" that were "cleared out" (beat em up let em die in the cells if they don't look right) was the Metro Squad motto who moved into my hometown in 72 after they changed their badge numbers. They caused the first Watts riots but got rewarded not punished after they were found guilty of raping and murdering black folks...
Here is what the Bible says about the American dream:
"Woe unto the Nation that charges its people for their own water; that joins house to house and field to field all the way to the end of the place. Shall no one else dwell in your land?"

It’s been absolutely way too long, it should’ve never been allowed to begin with. Such a failure in politicians and police departments.
@J B when the garbage worker don't pick up the trash we do blame the garbage worker. Even if it was a holiday
I pray for them all hope 🙏 God bless them all give them homes to live in
Exactly that's why mayor Garcitti is leaving
true! i love watching people with mental health issues lose the very little they have in life! it's awesome! lol
@@joejackson9986 Stop with the mental health bs. Most of them have issues due to drugs. A very small percentage have true mental issues, most are just lazy and want to do drugs. I know this first hand because my uncle used to live under the peir in Ventura and told me so many stories.
👏🏻 Keep doing this around the city. We need our spaces back.
LA and SF need to clean up and clear out their Mayor's and city councils’s office while they're at it.
Agreed they get a big fat F
Yep
@Travis Hantsbarger Oh yes they can.
Black Moses sounded like he was about to break into poetry
He sounds intelligent enough to work. It's his choice to have that lifestyle but not on public beaches and sidewalks.
He doesn't want a boss.
I wonder what is Black Moses story.
He was very well spoken
@@buddyrevell4329 really blaming everything on Covid please
Venice beach has always had homeless. But to have a tent city on the boardwalk where folks have businesses and pay taxes and permits is just plain wrong. The city of Los Angeles has the money to help folks out but also help it's business folks by using the laws in place . Sorry you just can't pitch a tent anywhere you like .
You see homelessness because you live for Satan or self. I see lost children who are ready to be baptized in the holyspirit. People like you will never feel the holyspirit.
Absolutely this is LONG overdue. This tail never should have been allowed to wag the dog to begin with.
@HH LOL
Wow! That Black Moses dude has an amazing voice. He should do talk radio.
He wants to be free. He doesn't wanna work.
This started in the early 70s when the politicians decided to do away rent control and raise cost of living for the next 50yrs!
Los Angeles City rent control took effect in 1978. Any building before that construction date is under rent control. I live in a building that was built in 1924 in Hollywood. My rent cannot increase more than 5% per year. I've been here 20 years. I pay half the market rate. Can't give it up because all the new massive construction units are minimum $2000-$4000 per month. There is no such thing as new affordable housing in L.A.
rent control keeps rent high and buildings in disrepair
@@QuadCloudNine so that's why rents are quadrupling now and many apartments are still terrible about maintenance?
I didn't realize we were under rent control right now! omg we gotta get rid of it!
@@cosmicllama6910 yes, its a problem. probably more problematic are restrictive zoning laws. at least LA started allowing you to build granny flats on your property recently, those had been forbidden for a long time
No, actually it did not....
Black Moses got a really smooth voice, kinda like smooth jazz 👍🏼
Guy needs a radio job
Good crack?
@@saj103 He really looks like the type of guy that shows up to work! The type of Disc jockey that keeps a radio station in the local top 10! Keep dreaming! He just wants to do nothing

@@doiron12 He'll show up to work for a 20. They'll do anything for a hit.
Figure out which homeless are Californians and which ones are drifters from out of state. Send those ones back to their home states and concentrate on the California homeless.
I’ve been saying this for so long.
That's what they did in Hawaii
If they had a home state they would be there
@@robertjennings397 Not true. Half the homeless you talk to are from out of state. They gravitate to southern California for the good weather and lenient policies.
This person gets it. People saying this is all California's fault when these people are probably from their home state.
"The Unhoused". "Experiencing Homelessness". America has become Orwellian
by the US..
0:43 “and it’s the beach, this is not...”
he was going to say this is not East LA or south central, this is his neighborhood
Well, his neighborhood is looking much worse than East LA today, TBH.
I think he was going to say Skid Row.
@@ajx1994 I don’t think you’ve seen the worse parts of East LA, it looks like a 3rd world country with shacks as houses and mountains of garbage.
@1zzy L yep, it’s sad but true. But at the same time, the city should be looking to help the people in poverty who pay taxes.. and not help bums who chose to be on the streets which is the majority. This homeless issue will never end, all we can do is watch the dumper fire and suffer with all the crime.
Don't call it a homeless crisis, it's a drug addiction crisis.
Besides a drug addiction problem , there is a housing affordability crisis. Rent costs are almost imposible to be covered for people under the poverty limit. Making 14 dollars an hour 40 hours per week you make roughly 2000 dollars a month, how would you cover basic living expenses having to pay 1500 to 2000 dollars a month. The main reason Californians are living the state is because they cannot even afford to be over the poverty line.
If it's a tourist destination why did they let big tech, big developers and air BnB gentrify a tourist area and destroy the area over the last 10 years.
Personal items shut up they shouldn’t have any right throw all their trash away. I work in ER AND WE OFFER HOMELESS HOUSING AND FOOD EVERYDAY THEY DONT WANT IT. They straight out will tell you when cameras are off that they prefer being on the street with no rules and unlimited drugs. These people need to be put in a mental facility.
I came to vacation there a couple of years ago. It seemed ridiculously absurd to vacation in the midst of a garbage dump. Never had the desire to go back.
I grew up in San Jose moved to Arizona n went back every year, it's so sad they let this happen to a beach the city is at fault for letting it happen why would anyone ce visit skid rows very sad ..... Wount vacation in California any more
California will only get worse
Arizona is awful
Homeless for TWELVE YEARS?! That's not an acute crisis of being homeless. That's a LIFESTYLE.
Yeah, I said it.
C'mon people. If anyone here were to be morally, and intellectually honest about this Hydra of a problem, neither the homeless OR the local and state gov't comes out the good guys.
Totally.
Thank freaking goodness it’s finally getting cleaned up😃👏
Skid Row is Next
They will be back by September.
That doesn't sound exactly like 'happiness'..
Maybe I can go there now. YAaaaaa
I think they let it go too long!.. it was way overdue!.. it’s about time…I just hope 🤞it lasts🤞!!!
I mean it’s great that it’s being cleaned up and the beauty of the beach being restored.
But then it’s sad because these people went from homeless to less than homeless.
I have an idea! Why don’t you house a homeless person or let them live in your back yard! Then they are no longer homeless! O wait you just want them in my neighborhood…
It’s May 2023 and we still have homeless people in Venice beach California 😮
St Joseph claims that they have no religious affiliations with any religious institutions. So... why are they called St Joseph, then? They're not a Christian org., they just happen to have a Christian name.
It was started by two nuns several years ago on their own. It is not affiliated with a church.
So what if they were church affiliated?
They can have a Christian name as long as they aren’t trying to convert anyone. I see no problem if they want to help for a good of heart ONLY.
@@MA-gv3wg it's a conflict of interest. In AMERICA, there is supposed to be separation of church and state. These places get gov. funding, as long as they do a few things that the gov. wants, and also Don't do certain things that the gov. Doesn't want. Other than that they can make their own rules. If a shelter that gets gov. funding is encouraging or pressuring people to join their religion (cult), then they are doing something unethical. If you are not a Christian, the name alone might discourage you from going there, and for good reason. Do you have any idea how many demented felons are hiding behind the... mask of salvation?
Too many to expect anyone to visit a non profit facility that appears to be... Christian.
@@MA-gv3wg you see, modern jesus doesn't care what you do. You can steal, kill, cheat, lie, pollute, nothing matters as long as you ACCEPT jesus as YOUR LORD and savior. You're not perfect, nobody can expect you to be good, all you have to do is SUBMIT TO GOD, and you're in. It's like joining a gang, but with more cult stuff.
Homeless for 12 years… whatever system in place has failed this man.
Am I the only one that thinks Black Moses has an amazing voice.. he could of done some voice over work.
He sounds like the man they found begging for work/money a few years ago and named him "The man with a golden voice"
Old news. They gave him a chance…he never shows up for work because he’s an addict👎🏽
Looks like a fool.
Since we have so many unemployed people in this country...build affordable housing for these people...employ people to help the homeless with their personal belongings... pay workers to help these Americans
Many of them don’t want the help. This is what they like
@@kaylavldz I have seen MANY interviews to the contrary
@@troybrewer2576 so have I and they say they don’t want the help
@@kaylavldz they will
@@kaylavldz
They are not there by choice!
Most of them have no insurance to get medical or mental health diagnosis, no way to get meds, or they have addictions. They need community shelters to begin with. You can’t force them off the street unless they have somewhere else to go and a reason to go there!
Wow that Moses guy had the coolest voice and a nice attitude.
"They ask them what they need"....
How about: a home.
Displacing them to elsewhere won't fix anything.
Them living there is not a fix. We didn't make them homeless
free living on the streets cant be an option. they have other options, they are choosing not to take them
@@DavidSmith-wp2zb which options are those?
@@prunabluepepper survival of the fittest
@@savagegunbunny4685 yeah, no idea why Americans think that concept is good, when most can't even survive without delivery service XD
Head to Portland next…..Seattle ..clean up…the mess
Vancouver, BC....should be on the list, as well. Tent city is disgusting here, as well. Politicians with no balz cause this mess, no matter what side of the border we live on.
Black Moses got that deep radio voice
Long overdue and the City Manager's are also long overdue of being replaced. No one is entitled to property that they are not deeded to. If that is permissible then I want to build my home on the public beach front. Oh, I can't build a permanent structure? No problem, I'll build it on a wooden slab capable of it being moved in theory. Or perhaps I can bring in a double-wide mobile home for my beachfront home...is there truly any difference than the tent and trash squatters? By the way, I won't loot and shoplift openly from the businesses or break into cars nor use drugs or alcohol either.
Give those city workers a great big bonus for this work. LA has become better known these days for its homelessness catastrophe than for the Hollywood sign. Clean this up!
Clean up America and take back compassionate democracy. No one needs to be homeless.
Just in storage areas in America there is enuf room to house every man woman and child in America 7 times over. This is a symptom worst than any pandemic that has murdered countless innocents in the name of greed.
@@andibowe6890 99.8 per ent of homeless are on drugs and don't want help
@@ashgreen3574 i suppose u have been homeless yourself so you know more than i? Well how about all the families and elders and even blind people evicted over all the years i have lived? Even more now because of COVID no evictions ending? i have helped many people fight 3 day eviction notices and you are obviously a very prejudiced and probably entitled individual. Judge not for in the same measure we judge others we are ourselves judged. There have been homeless in Venice Beach as long as i have been alive but no one ever camped on the Boardwalk before now...
@@andibowe6890 You walk that homeless encampment and see how many people you find that are elderly or blind. They are druggie dude. Just admit it
Coachella is a huge patch of land that is rarely used why not build a large shelter facility there so the homeless can can shelter and create a community and thrive.
Slab City is not too far from Coachella and already has a cult following among the homeless-minded. A tourist attraction already exists outside of Slab City called Salvation Mountain. There could be industries for the homeless based on Salvation Mountain's tourism attraction. Same with other desert properties. First, they should sort out which homeless are actual Californians and which aren't. Send the transients from other states back to their states, and work on getting help for the locals.
They like best vews and the best wether plus they probably get their food money daily from tourist i think
@@culcune "First, they should sort out which homeless are actual Californians and which aren't. Send the transients from other states back to their states." Ya, except that the US is not a totalitarian dictatorship and that violates the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Really. Are you even an American?
@@culcune define “actual Californian”
@@danieldaniels7571 I would say last known legal physical address unless these people emerged from under rocks...
So who is going to help these people? Where are they supposes to go? America should be ashamed...really great job helping their citizens.
Not me
What have you done to help them? Curious
Guess I can’t build my winter home at Venice Beach.
Being Homeless is a choice for most people, most of these Homeless people refuse to improve their lives, refuse to clean up their act, and refuse to get a job and work for a living.
I get that there are many Homeless people who are mentally ill, disabled, and many who are severely addicted to drugs, and those are the ones i think we should help, by sending them to Hospitals and Rehab facilitates respectively.
But, the rest of the people are continuing to stay Homeless by choice, they aren't mentally ill, disabled, or addicted to drugs, they may have gotten homeless due to poor life choices, but it is still up to them to become responsible for their own well being.
California's Politicians need to either be voted out, or change their act, because for the last many decades, they have just allowed the Homeless population to grow to enormous numbers. And beautiful cities like LA and SF have turned into 3rd world shitholes.
All land that is not private is public land, we all pay taxes to have those lands maintained, and cleaned so we can all enjoy it together.
But, the Politicians are wasting our tax dollars by allowing Homeless people to set up camps and fill the sidewalks with their personal belongings, therefore making that land undesirable to look at, or walk on.
I get that Liberals get mad when someone talks about relocating the Homeless, but we need to take steps, because this is severe Government mismanagement, and our tax dollars are collectively being wasted.
California's residents really need to change the people they vote for, they have been voting in Democrats for the last 40 years non stop, and look how ridiculous and stupid California has become, it's a joke of a state.
High taxes on everything, cost of living in LA and SF are some of the highest in the nation, high Homeless population, high crime rates, and deteriorating infrastructure, with horrible traffics in both SF and LA.
I fail to understand why Liberals/Leftists/Democrats who live in California do not see that the Politicians they continue to vote for are useless and incompetent.
The residents of California are some of the most brainwashed morons in the nation.
Those who let that happen needs to be put in prison,, just awful to see happen in any city, but in a world famous site,, just sad and those who sat on their collective hands needs some prison time to think about what they let happen.
Last dude at the end tried to take that clothing in the trash lol
Good the government needs to get this under control. This one of the reasons everybody is leaving California
And that lousy mayor of Los Angeles will be an ambassador to India. L.A.'s win will be India's loss.
Aren't the conditions similar?
yes i knew it would take weeks or months to clear years worth of accumulation and hoarding
I'm mildly surprised the wealthy haven't built a tolled sky-walk, elevated out of reach from the homeless, spanning above the worst streets; providing views and vistas and safety from witnessing the struggles of poverty beneath them.
In the not too dystopian future, this will happen. There was/is a plan in place to shuttle people to Dodger Stadium on a tramway from Union Station.
@@culcune nerd
That would be cool
Its coming but it will be more like a floating city like the movie Elysium. Why do you think Branson, Besos and Musk have been scouting vacations in outer space.
@@TheAshMcG you need to stop watching movies, they are clouding any sense of reality you have left!
California is finally exercising some sense? Miracle!
With many companies downsizing their office space due to wfh, a lot of commercial buildings are going to be unused…maybe there’s an opportunity to turn them into low rate/subsidized economy style apartments.
I remember at one time the gov. helped them and found them some homes, but they left the houses to go back to stand around and live on the boardwalk that's why you pick them up and put them a gated housing.
Sure, that happened. So glad to see both compassion and reason have checked out.
In general, speaking as a person who was once homeless, most of the people I met during that time do not want to give up their drugs and alcohol to go into homeless shelters.
If you’re homeless for 12 years it’s obvious you chose to be homeless
American homeless live better than most other countries lol
Yeah, that guy was a lot more poised & articulate than I expected. He could definitely find a way to make a livable income somewhere if he wanted to. He's definitely living that lifestyle by choice.
@@Chicago_Native if you don’t mind not having any or little material items it’s the way to go. You live on the beach with great weather for free. American Government gives them enough money to eat an free healthcare. every thing else they panhandle for is fun money for drugs an liquor. The USA needs to audit its welfare system they will soon be giving 1/2 their paychecks to support people like this.
@@coolchrisjThanks. I didn't know it was this lucrative. I'm on my way there as we speak.
@@Chicago_Native He doesn't want to work, doh.
Chances are they’ll just come back but I’m glad it’s getting cleaned. If they can’t at the very least keep the area clean, then I don’t feel bad for them losing anything.
Soon the city will look like a post apocalyptic city and homelessness won’t even be considered bad.
It will look post-apocalyptic because they're cleaning it up?
Ok dude.
@@I_am_Jordan_K Yep they're cleaning it up which means the homeless will just disappear.
@@Kitsuragi556 Unless they are being turned into Soylent Green, they aren't "disappearing".
Well where did they put them? In Canada last winter they put out the homeless people from shelters and killed lots of them. There was one left at least to tell about it.
They need to feed the homeless to the hungry.
did I miss it, or did the report forget to mention where the homeless people are moving to?
I think we need to end for profit housing. Capitalists extract wealth and power from workers through rent. It is the privatized and unnecessary tax that has been normalized.
We want our Venice Beach back Nice & Clean and beautiful place to be with the family and friends and have Fun 👏👏
Get rid of those druggies homeless clean Venice Beach.
Try helping your fellow man instead of worrying about your silly problems. You think these people like living that way? Most, most definitely don't. Try giving instead of just taking.
These people need housing not evictions
Is it just me or did the witch doc not look like uncle George from Barneo in the Little Rascals !!!!!! Hahahahahaha hahahahahaha
There's so much trash on Venice Beach and Santa Monica and I understand they have their personal belongings but is trash part of the personal belongings.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
Take the money that it would cost to build 1 B-1 bomber and find a location and construct simple 1 room huts that they can sleep, and cook in. Like a camp ground and then have a community shower and toilet area.
Denver has the same issue. The homeless made a campsite in front of our capital. Tbh it looked horrible. You’d walk by and countless needless and liquor bottles on the ground. They finally did something about it.
So does any one ask where did homeless go to?
00:54 LOL "It's a national news story, let's get over to Venice beach and look at the homeless people." OMG that's so wrong. lol
Black Moses shocked me with how he spoke. I’ve been to Venice beach and the people I’ve encountered don’t usually have it all together or make sense
Bigotry of low expectations.
It’s early……talk to it after 7pm………high on meth, screaming about the end of the world, harassing people….He’s a schlub…….
Should you really be judging anyone on how they speak when you cannot even use proper grammar yourself? 🤔
Black Moses has a great voice. He should be on the radio.
I have no problem with them leaving there. But, when you throw trash everywhere. Gtfo
One mans trash is another mans treasure, these meth heads ,drug addicts think everthing has value.Make it illegal to dumpster dive.
@@williamchandler2558 it is
A homeless camp in my town just burnt down 600+ acres that is still burning today. I feel for them but enough is enough. If they burn down any houses than ppl around here are about to go vigilante on these camps.
Do the stores get their shopping carts back?
Why did you cut off the statement from the last man you interviewed?.... he came from both side of fans.
Thank you!
It's my favorite beach to go to❤
Yeah that's cool, just do some surface cleaning and then try to sweep it under the rug and pretend like it's all fixed, that always makes everything better!!! 🙃
One small way to fix this...whenever a homeless person asks you for money, instead of ignoring them, have a conversation with them about social services. There are shelters, they don't want to use them. There are programs, they don't want to clean up. We already pay to help these people with our taxes, force them to use that system and they will have to.
Bunch of base heads
The problem with the shelters is some of them can be very dangerous. Even more dangerous the just being out there and risking it. If you don't believe me ask.
You can't force anyone to do anything, and even if you do it creates a volatile environment.
Homeless that only want to camp at the beach while real homeless at Skidrow need help. Yeah, all twisted from both sides of the spectrum.
Skid row Next. 1.5 billion in democrats pockets. We shall see
This is the problem. Los Angeles $15 × 40h=600 per week after taxes $503. 503 × 4= $2,012. Studio $2,000. $12 left over for food and bills
And this is why i moved.
Chicago $15 × 40h=$600 per week after taxes $540. $540 × 4=$2160 per month. Studio in Edgewater $750. $1,410 left over. Most Chicagoans make much more than minimum wage
I've haven't seen one tent since moving here
Ya but the only problem is 17 people got shot while you wrote that comment.
@@JonathanNelsonOfficial I live in the North Side. It's nice here. When u hear about about violence most of it is in the South and West side and its localized to certain neighborhoods. That part of the city is far from me
Government can't take personal property without compensation at full market value, even for public benefit; Fifth Amendment US Constitution.
The agencies should build camps on public lands that have campsites, restrooms, showers and garbage disposal, like State and National Parks.
Our family member, Charles Aragon, died from injuries in 2020 sustained while defending a woman from assault by a homeless person. He is not the first Senior homeowner to be injured or dead because of this issue. Still no justice, BUT I hope this helps. I donate and volunteer at Missions Modesto, yet feel unsafe in my own neighborhood park, because of this same issue.
🤣 "with no doubt squatters will be back"
So, they have to start somewhere. Just move them again. This problem got out of control because people did NOTHING.
That's what the sheriff is for.
“L”
Take the homeless to the landfill too.
That is ridiculous! Thd homeless needs help! The government of California need to bring down the living prices! What they need? They need a home!
That's the problem people like you think the government needs to solve everyone's problems. It's not the governments job to dictate the price of anything...That's called socialism, and if that's what you want then to to Venezuela.
Good for them! As long as they are helping the homeless and helping them get homes I’m ok with it!
Let's be reals they are not helping them. Not saying your being naive. This is the same government forcing posinious uncessary vaccine on the community. You think they going to help them? I see some people stating that they are meth heads. Some may very well be but not all or homeless because of drugs it's unfortunate they get lumped in with the few bad ones.
@@TannyYem A homeless person that wasn't on drugs would distance themselves from the ones that are. They wouldn't choose to live in that area. No one in their right drug free mind would. These people are offered free housing free rehab. They don't want that because rules come with it. I've lived in section 8 before. You'd be surprised the way people will complain about a perfectly adequate free living situation because they don't like that their apartments get inspected and they can't be loud and have wild parties.
@@meosha299 College degree means something or nothing depending on what the degree is in. I ain't rich. Never made more than 30k.
If a person has a degree and actually makes good money they should not be living paycheck to paycheck.
God bless Moses and the rest of them
Venice Beach belongs to the working people who pay high taxes to enjoy the beach. Not the moochers who won't work. Clean it up and keep it clean.
Its good cause on encampment mean more and more homeless they get cleared out here in Florida . it smells and smells all they do is use drugs and pass out those encampment enable them to keep using drugs not trying to get clean.
I say if they pass a drug test need help to help them. Drug user send them to rehab
This is what needs to happen because LA is becoming a homeless city. Get homeless people housing.
Or slaughter house
Get them outta there. Give us back our beaches. They leave trash behind and don’t respect their surroundings. And it’s dangerous when they start tweaking…this was long over due…
Why use city workers when a bulldozer would get the job done quicker.
Thank god! Why don’t they create more tiny shelters for the homeless. Have them build them and they can have their own community.
Homeless people need to understand that what they’re doing is not right. But I guess if you’re neutral you have to be able to see it both ways so I applaud that gentleman for his comments.
They're not doing anything wrong by being "homeless." Jesus would not rule on the side of the condo association. This country is every American citizen's home. Realize that.
Where are they relocating them to??
They’re not
Black Moses got a radio voice 🙌
moses has a nice voice. he would be a wonderful narrator :)
It’s not “unhoused”!! As if I went to the market and came back to an empty lot. Than that’s unhoused!!
*What do homeless want?*
*Homeless: me want heroin, crack, pills, syringe.*
WHY NOT BUILD A TALL BUILDING FOR THE HOMELESS...I MEAN THE CITY IS MORE FOCUS ON A SPORTS STADIUM THEN THE HOMELESS....ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE THAT WAS KICK OUT OF DOWNTOWN L.A AND THE PARKS TO RESTORE $2,200 A MONTH LOFTS....LETS COME TOGETHER AND CREATE A PROP. FOR THE HOMELESS ...DID PROP. HHH PASSED?? ... THIS IS WHY I WOULD BE OUT THERE WITH A HAMMER... I THINK LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE HOMELESS FOR 90 DAYS..THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE NOTHING...TO ONLY SHOWER AT THE Y.M.C.A TO GET FOOD AT THE L.A MISSION AND TO SLEEP ON THE STREETS... HOW MANY SIGNATURES DO WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN ?
That's a good idea but America is all about how we can make money and more money they don't care about nothing else.
No. Just no. Send the homeless on a trash barge.
I love finding needles on the beach!
It’s about time.
Finally doing something about it!
Actual number of filthy bums who should be allowed to live on the beach : ZERO !!!
A lot of the stuff they have is junk. If it's not actual documents, medications, health care equipment, etc... why do they need it? They can get clean clothes, shoes, and other stuff for free through these organizations.
I seen one camp with 3 wheel-less lawn mowers, a dozen broken bicycles, broken chairs, numerous trash bags.
The country is not collapsing from the outside but it is from the inside .
Are you watching San Fran?!?
Houston?!?
All other bigger cities...Seattle....etc...
Why would the news not cover this story in its entirety? How many people and from where? Family anywhere? Obstacles preventing re-entry into communities as non - homeless? Most urgent needs? Easiest needs to satisfy? Both short & longterm goals? overseers of each stage and person/family? Alternate shelters? Aid community groups & individuals may provide and who to see so it is handled to the best & most beneficial to the success of project? What not to do if wanting to help? Do those affected have any requests or statements needing made? When will follow-up and progress updates occur? Individuals and entities contributing to project sucess publicaly salutd? Complaints, suggestions, questions to who? Legal advise and questions answered for anyone affected or involved in any aspect? And a bit of history about what the people did for shelter before locating at the boardwalk? What are talents, skills, experiences, and goals/dreams of a better future?
News people have obviously forgotten the key parts to any investigation or reporting. Who What When Where Why and my personal additions to the mix, What else? and Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" and finally, other versions/perspectives of the story. Or at least give a link or phone number directing anyone with concerns where to turn.
Seems to me if anyone had a genuine plan the City would have prepared it in writing and available to all prior to sending in the crews to make homelessness invisible again.
