It's embarrassing how this homeless man puts more effort than the city
@Rob Roy well said
Because cleaning the city and helping ppl cost 100s of MILLIONS
and placing decaying teddy bears and big broken Hot Wheels in trees doesn’t cost shit but the time of a retired tweaker
if ya like it so much go do it
it don’t costs shit all ya need is a good hit of the rock and the whereabouts of a GoodWill dumpster
@@jessielastern3064 the world is over populated as is we don't need more company cars as we know not many people are not buying instead put it on shelter mini homes like Oakland did

😂
Forgot to mention no property tax
Hahahahahahahaha
You forgot to mention no HOA
it's crazy how the media portrays the homeless. Mini Mansion???!!! it's called a shelter. wtf.
It is a mini mansion for lots of people without anything,,

This is a shelter. Not a mansion. There’s a reason he’s so willing to accept housing

This is the type of homeless man that deserves a home...he'll actually want to take care of it and be responsible with it
That’s not how things work
@@mephistopheles7545 look GUY, i’m not for it by any means, and i’m unsure if you live in a state that has way too many homeless, but they talk in my state as if thats the plan. 95% of the homeless want nothing to do with a home, nor would they take care of it and use it to move up in life. But this guy, he would make that asinine idea of giving them places to live look good. That’s all i meant. Of course thats “not how it works”
You need to get rid of your misconceptions and educate yourself. Many homeless people want homes and deserve homes. Most homeless people don’t become homeless from their own fault or nefarious reasons but from years of struggling. It’s perceptions like yours that leak into politics and make it harder for these people to move forward with their lives.
@@GabrielTheMagolorMain was this for KC or Mephisto?
Cause where I'm from as well, homeless don't want any housing. They don't. Because they rather do drugs than than do good. One requirement for housing is being clean and many don't want too. This guy here wants a home. Why hasn't he asked? I do not know. Move forward? These mf's rather be hitting innocent people, pouring shit on people, and all these other crazy shit. No 2 homeless are alike, and this guy here is one of the decent ones.
Every homeless person deserves a home.
I love that he's got flower pots and a nice path leading to his house.
and that manicured lawn 😂
“We reached out to city officials and caltrans for comment” way to snitch this man out. News media doing new media things 🤦🏻♂️

Well I have one thing in common, in my 65 years of paying taxes, no one has offered me housing either!
Im shocked that an 85 yr old guy is watching this on youtube. I hope when I am 85 I never see social media again and am following my dream to move to another country and discover it by bus.
@@blackdogslivesmatter1568 you better start by learning how to read.
Nice 1
I’ve been trying to find affordable housing ever since I became seriously ill, emergency surgery, lost my apartment while in a nursing home & it was rent controlled. I’ve now been in a horrible nursing home for almost 4 years, in a wheelchair & am stuck here where the food isn’t fit for livestock & no available apartments I can find. I wonder if this man has a real home yet. I hope so.
And be pays no taxes! Imagine that.
I can’t believe they just exposed this poor man like that and the news lady laughs and giggles at his situation.🤦🏽♀️
Yeah you can tell with her little judgmental laugh that she's always had the Silver Spoon up her butt and never had to go without anything or suffer one single hard time
She literally said he would make his new home just as beautiful pause or creative whatever it is you want to call this. Savage👌😈

This punk rock is snitchin all day Facts
It’s Fox News so, yeah
Idk I watched a lot of tik toks of this guy

@@carlosanthonypadilla better than some encampments that has trash all over.
@@carlosanthonypadilla I feel like you have not seen to been to the average homeless encampment. Hell I've seen yards at people's houses that are way worse than this. When the local businesses go "Nah we don't mind it" then I don't really see that much of an issue with it.
Hmmmm... looks like trash to me. Albeit, creatively placed :) sure he will accept housing, if it's free lol
That’s beautiful. He’s making the world a more beautiful, kinder place.
Maybe he should move into your backyard
Oh yeah, its real pretty.😂 I feel sorry for this gentleman, but who the hell wants to look at that in their backyard
Major, major stretch
You're lying.
Uhhhhhh Ok go live in Haiti
My Heart goes out to this homie. Goes to show, even during adversity and harsh times we can still be respectful and keep pride on what we do. Best of luck; hope this helps him and it's not just another headline.
They need to leave him tf alone, they kinda exposed dude
In a shithole like L.A, its everyone for themselves.
No one wants to look at this disgusting mess. If he had any pride he wouldn’t have left Mexico and gotten addicted to crack.

darn reporters, don't care who they hurt as long as they get their story.
Seriously
Probably by now he’s either on an immigrant camp, or deported.
Who was hurt? I don't know where you live, but this is becoming the norm where I live
Damn well said. Leave him alone.
I'm even surprised they even showed that. It's all over California. The biggest encampment is in Sacromento. They camp up and down the Sacromento river. Just about ever city town has homeless/drug addicts most are just Drug addiction PROBLEM. The one's that lost there home on different circumstances are not homeless for long. They get right back on there feet with help. The other's just want to be left alone to do there DRUG'S! As long as the politicians are giving them money to buy drug's that's what they are going to do.
It never was this bad in the 1970s 80s. Now they open up the boarder to let the phentenlyol and all the other drug's they can kill people with.
It's going to get even worse when the druggies need that fix. Home invasion, robberies.
This man took "just get a house" to another level
He cleans, keeps to himself? Can't hate.
They need more of him in studio city and hollywood. Someone needs to give this man a job landscaping actual mansions. He's doin pretty good with what he's got.
Yes you can. He's in the middle of the fucking street building a trash mountain. This is ridiculous. I
People like you are the problem . It's bad now, and it will get worse. Stop abetting this behavior.
Yeah that is the issue. I think if the homeless encampments just stayed clean most people wouldn't have as much of an issue with them as they do now.
@@paradiso4562 That's what happens when studio apartments run for 1400 bucks or more, you doing anything to bring down the cost of living? If not than don't complain.
Wow, quit trying to snitch on him, news. Just let him be in peace. Trying to contact the city for what? Just let him be.
Citizens Arrest u don’t even live around there. Relax
seriously! leave him and go mess with the ones that make shit-holes all over the place
@Citizens Arrest looks better than dirt and trash like it would be without this guy cleaning the area for free.
@Citizens Arrest Shut up!
@Citizens Arrest shut the hell up Frank.
This report probably gonna get him kicked out.
Sad but true
Hopefully not.🦝
@@jjbentley9 just happened sad
😭
I lived a few blocks down, I saw him building it from the beginning. He’s no longer there. I wonder where he went. Especially with the rains 😔
Hopefully back to Mexico
This guy has more manners than those that actually lives in mansions.
Not really
That’s a pretty generalized statement about alot of very different people. It only makes you sound jealous.
Where you get that info from?
No...
Dont paint them all with a broad brush , I know a very wealthy Dr. With a mansion and you wouldn't even notice it .
He’s not lazy just homeless. Hell some homeless people are under-employed.
How do you know if he's lazy or not? You have no freakin clue
@@andrewokamoto ummm bc he cleaned up all the trash, and literally created an entire garden which took time. Plus did you not hear the restaurant owner say he comes and cleans there?
Did she say that he was lazy ? I would agree with you that 1/3 of the population that is homeless is probably because they are underemployed and the cost of living is too high. This creates a "Circle of Poverty" which may force the individual to work multiple jobs or have to relocate. Also, I am going to assume that the other 2/3 's that are homeless may have a SUD/or a mental health issue.
Anyway, one can only hope that this man and the others in the area will be offered housing shortly.
He's not even close to lazy he created a little shelter with an architectural design. He's living the life..
Dudes probably illegal
Get the man a house. This is crazy doing a report on how well this homeless man is maintaining a price of dirt next to the highway.
buy him one bro
Lmao
Just help him get a decent place to live.
Maybe he can build the needed homes and pay him to buy his home
or maybe someone can get him a psycologist because he is clearly not in his right mind, before buying him a house he will eventually mess up
This reminds me of a comedian who made fun of the film crew filming right next to hungry children announcing, "these poor children are starving" He said, you are right next to them!!! Give them food!!! Feed them!!!!
Bill Hicks
Housing? homie has a house and no bills to pay . Everyone should just leave him be.
@@carlosanthonypadilla They said in this segment that he never caused any trouble & even helped keeping the area clean.
@@DUNGSI27 Wow! You really have great receptive skills!
let him camp in front of your house then.
@@DUNGSI27 so what, that isn’t HIS property, you just don’t get to plop your arse wherever you want on state property. IDG2S if he’s picking up the trash, why won’t he put that energy into actually working?
Because he’s a raging alcoholic, yeah, they omitted that part of his story.
What makes you think he’s an alcoholic? Do you know the man? Get off your high horse and try to understand other people’s point of view in life. We’re all not born with a silver plater at birth.
His life their entertainment... she pretty much laughed the whole segment. If this is all he have, he's making the best out of it... offer him employment not exposure.
I mean, if you're a landscaper, you want people to see your work/art. He could have been pretty happy with the exposure. Maybe this exposure will land him a landscaping job? Just trying to see the light of things.
This is the news life yo exploit others for views
Their laughing his living
Exactly
Exactly 💯
At least he kept his space clean. I wish other homeless kept their space tidy.
oh yes i wish illegal immigrants came here and lived on the side of the road instead of actually living in a house and coming in legally, now going to be deported and arrested
@@hellokatie3974 Then work.
@@hellokatie3974 - they’re not encouraging homelessness, they’re just saying that it would be good if people who already are homeless kept their space clean.
Ofc the long-term end goal is for no one to be homeless. However, that will take time. keeping the area clean is something good that homeless people can accomplish right now, in the *short term.*
@@hellokatie3974 how do you know he is illegal? oh that's right you're making an assumption! at least he isn't an anchor baby!
@@hellokatie3974 shut up goofy
The first step to helping to homeless is to get them to feel pride. This man is clearly a proud man, who's actively working to make his situation better, he's improving the world around him (arguably) and he's not hurting anyone.
He has a home. It might not be on private land, but I can't think of any better use for wasted public space.
RARE
He’s a real one
@Citizens Arrest so you're against allowing the public using public property.
Well you have a strong argument. But I'm going to go ahead and point out that you're wrong.
@Citizens Arrest what would we do without brownshirts? You are doing God's work son. Make sure they are strangled so tightly with irrational rules they can't breath. You are superior. It's your right to oppress the world

No one deserves respect. It is earned.
SMH reporting to get him evicted … why doesn’t this news channel help him out… show how you are connected to the community.
How the hell can you get evicted from a homeless encampment?!
The news anchor talking about “all the services Available” that’s laughable and anyone who has ever needed assistance knows these programs make it next to impossible to get any type of real help when you truly need it.
Agreed. What "services"? Just a run around is all! Those are services all right! Services to keep government "workers" employed! But few else.
The dude came here from Mexico and he wants free housing from the government? Why do we owe him that?
There's a little help to not die, but not to get on your feet. The real help takes months and months to find out whether you're accepted or not and is usually more for women with kids.

Hi. My brother and I have a Christian ministry, for 9 years now. We do many things but our favorite is...serving the homeless every day. We know MANY Veterans! Most of the Vets that we know can't make logical decisions concerning health or shelter. We get them the help they need...including food, clothes, shelter, rehab and medical attention. Please don't assume they all refuse help... some just don't understand. They are broken! Please pray for our Veterans and help them when you can. God bless them. God bless everyone here too!
Peace and Hope,
Lynne 🍃 💜 🍃
Sorry...one more thing...
I have witnessed homeless Veterans helping the homeless to survive. I have seen them share food, their own blankets, and clothes that they need for themselves. Yes they really give the shirt off their backs!!! I have seen Veterans purposely wait in line...last! Last in case we run out of food...(which we never will)...but they don't always know that. They are STILL SERVING and HELPING others....even in the woods. When I need help carrying boxes to the site or handing things out...the Veterans are the FIRST to offer help. I'm sure there are some Vets that aren't as kind but it makes me think that there's a good reason for it. They are unhealthy. Anyway, I love them...and I do my best to show love and concern especially for all that they have done for us. I am THANKFUL.
God bless!
In Peace,

This guy doing what is part of him , a gardener is one of the most highest valuable things a human can be , I hope that somebody sees the true value that this man has ,I'd see him as prince among the common .
If he went door to door offering his services, he could easily make hundreds a day. All cash, since he’s probably illegal.
Fr!!! Much respect
If he s really gonna get evicted, he surely can get a job in landscaping
Nah he just from colima ... no handout peeps... puro chambeador
Homeless not hopeless this man deserves to be left alone Maybe someone can get him a little home to live in where he is safe and left to do what he loves build and garden. Prayers sent
Yeah left alone in the bus back to Mexico
Left alone no way no way in hell I pay property tax I pay city tax I pay all sorts of taxes so this guy gets to build something and he's living out there in it and he doesn't have to pay shit no I'm sorry well actually I'm not sorry because this is all bullshit
He’s been in this location 2 years and another one for he lost count … maybe he can work as a gardener (since he likes it ) and pull his own weight rather than treating America like it’s TJ come on it’s garbage on a hillside it looks tacky you want that in your city uh no way. He couldn’t have saved money from never paying rent lol could you imagine not paying rent or a mortgage? Rather than him going to resources he says if he is offered housing he will take it … yea duhhh .. and you Jackie want someone to get him a little home . Geez 🙄 Jackie be that someone
nobody "deserves" to be given that kind of space like that. also what about the hundreds of thousands of other homeless people in the country? do they equally "deserve" that spot?
@@tohopes So true.
When I was growing up in southern california there were a few homeless people in the town who were like landmarks just living as part of the town. They never asked anyone for money, never bothered anybody, and basically just had a particular corner somewhere in the town where they slept. I think this is how it used to be most places before things got so out of control in california

this is weird how reporters are reporting this and calling it a mini mansion?
God bless him and I pray 🙏 cal trans does NOT come tear it down
They need to stop this. It’s getting bad.
@Citizens Arrest yeah but not him....he’s neat and tidy whereas other homeless people leave piles of trash everywhere...y’all should complain about that and not this guy who is not bothering anyone....
if you've ever been homeless, you'll know, this is no "mini mansion", house or even a place for any human to live.
I've been homeless for 5 years an I agree.
I have been homeless before BUT I didn’t make myself comfortable on the side of a highway for a couple years..... this story is ironic because IF it were your backyard the whole vibe might be different. That property is going to lose value having a makeshift “suitcase city” developing on it. How many customers have found another place to frequent because of the threat of possible crimes that come along with the vagrants who have parked themselves there? You know there is definitely drugs finding their way to that area. How about the bathroom habits of the people in the area? I KNOW the business owner is attempting to be merciful BUT when has someone gone too far with the overlooking? I give it about a year before it’s a dope hole.... it’s sad but true....🤦🏽♀️

@@wakawaka8257 What I've always wondered is how do the homeless, with no visible source of money, find the recourses for cigarettes, alcohol and drugs?
It’s a mansion if you’re on heroine
"And he's never saught shelter, never seeked out any of the serverices all over southern California?" Those are 100% the words of a person who doesn't understand the struggle at all. smh
Seriously, it was just so the well off people don't have to worry and can move on. Nothing to see here because there's services all over smh.
Actually you both misheard what was being said. There aren't humane services. The so called services offered are limited to drug addicts and mentally ill. Of course people like yourselves that are comfortable and safe say incredibly ignorant things. Give him your place and you live here.
Actually, it is easy to acquire housing in California. There's a ton of programs that give people free housing & govt subsidies housing. People can get whole houses thru a program, never having worked a day in their life. Section 8 is another common one & widely offered when one goes to social services. California hooks up undocumented people with free housing & other services. Ur telling me people who don't speak English that just arrived here from another country have an easier time acquiring free govt stuff than people born here? Well, they do because this stuff is easy for them compared to their home countries & they take whatever is offered. Social services always gets in touch with them & the state helps them more too. What you can do, if ur an uninformed american is to take a trip to social services & see what you qualify for. You will be surprised at all the stuff u can get when ur unemployed. I know people who live off the system. Amazing & ridiculous but it's all there.

He is a free man and free spirit. Leave him alone. He is not bothering anyone.
Of course if this guy actually tried to build something like this for real, it would go against all kinds of zoning rules and spurn all kinds of opposition.
Something is seriously wrong when it's easier to build something (without permission) on government property you don't own, than to get permission to build something on your own property.
You said it perfectly.
Yeah meanwhile I have to take out a 400k loan for 1700 sq ft single family home and can’t add a sink to my garage without planning department forcing me to make it conform to code of a “duplex”.
I gotta agree. Zoning laws have to be pacified some, especially for peaple paying an arm and a leg. In. Property Taxes. Which is just about everyone
Could you imagine. If instead of coming with a bad attitude and a bundle of fines, except maybe in an extreme case of major safety issues. If we were able to build. A multi dome home, a giant Habitrail. A nice and functional tree house, or a Bio sphere looking house. Your imagination would be the limit.....with very little limitations, properly Strapped or Anchored down, boy we'd really see some good Home Grown American ingenuity
@@hfarthingt Why even ask the planning department how the heck are they going to know if you ever think to your garage that’s crazy you just add it anyway no one’s coming out to look at your sink in your garage I highly doubt they give a damn you’re the one who went and told them so now they’re going to complain about it because they probably want money no doubt I’m sure they’re gonna come for this guy start asking for taxes or some thing to
I really wish they wouldn't have done that to him. He's lived there peacefully, kept the place clean and not bothered anyone.
They screwed this guy over so bad. Keep it out of the media. LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!
Exactly!
The man has nothing and he manages to create a home and even make it look charming. I love the little donkey at the fence! Fantastically talented. He deserves a nice home.
How are you able to live in a home or apartment? You get up. You go to work. You pay your taxes. This is the way.
...and just think, only 600 years ago, indinigenous people only lived here and they didn't have the wheel or horse or any metallurgy. People came here with just wagons, and the clothes on their backs. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
you're joking right?
@@hopnglo680 Not everyone is able to work. We are the homeless.
Anyone who thinks this type of situation isn’t a problem needs to visit Portland, Oregon and see what happens when this gets completely out of hand.
He has done a beautiful job cleaning the area. I hope he is able to get housing and bless his new neighbors soon.
This is exactly who we need in America. My suggestion: Let the city use vacant lots to create tiny home communities. This gentleman would be an excellent candidate to manage them! Hardworking, peaceful and able to live in a modest environment. He's a role model! Don't evict him, HIRE HIM!!!
A guy tried to build tiny homes with solar panels and city took them away. Governments make money of homeless crisis.
Is the guy looking for a job?

@Koa stfu
anonymous “Legal” as in man made “laws”, that is a whole other discussion. My stance is based on Universal Laws. I’m hoping no one would be at fault in that hypothetical situation. The driver would be responsible for the repairs to the vehicle and the guy whose dwelling that is would have to repair it. It would give him something to work on since it obviously brings him much joy to do so. 💜🙌🏽💯
anonymous “you cannot take land that is not yours” lol I agree and this ENTIRE country belongs to Native Americans. “Liberal” umm NO... High Priestess... YES! I appreciate your feedback, however it is best that we shall agree to disagree. Have a blessed day! 🧿💜💯
I remember the one time this guy constructed lots of shelter homes for the homeless… installed it in the area and 1 day later, the cops and others went to take all of them down. Permit or not his heart was a good place and away from working people. I don’t get sometimes. We should all win.
You don't get why people just can build homes and shelters without permits?
That state is swallowed up by greed and envy to no end. Any goodwill done by folks with heart will always get aimed at no matter what. Crooked people hate seeing uprise in positivity and prosperity if it excludes them. Spiteful political devil's.... they have no shame 😒
Thank you for reaching out to all the authorities to do a news piece on him so then they can go tear down his life.

Right! She was quick to shift the blame. Not a word on helping this man. Oh, yeah she's a politician forgive me for thinking she gives a damn!
This poor guy, they really should have thought this through now, he's going to be removed, that is so incredibly sad, more than likely the police already knew about this and obviously wasn't gonna say anything, but now he's going to end up being removed y'all should have kept this quiet SMH..
Oh no, now he can't do something that he's not allowed to do! It's just so unfair!🙄
@@EsotericOccultist Don't be ridiculous, of course, he should have his own place, but these people have known about it for a very long time, and they're good with it, and obviously the police know about it, but now he's not going to be allowed to stay there anymore. This is somebody who probably has something going on mentally after all, look what he's done to that area, nobody would really do this unless something was going on with them mentally. These people accepted it, so I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as they're OK with it how you feel about it, and let me say, this one more time for you to understand it, how you feel about it, doesn't matter you don't live in the area, it has nothing to do with me or you, these people accepted it, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean anything, they love him being there. Obviously there's something wrong with him, but he's dealing with it in a remarkable and artistic way...
@Toothless Bull Dog 2.0 Thank you, love, we should all be a lot more kinder in this world, more than likely he does have something going on mentally, but he has dealt with it in his way, and I love that he is very artistic and he seems happy. The other guys on here is like he should get his own place and things like that, but when someone has something wrong with them mentally and I'm not sure if he's military or not, but they choose to do these things like this instead and I don't have a issue with it if it's not harming anybody, some people just want to hate on others, because they're not conforming to normal ways of life. I just don't have a problem with what this guy is doing, and thank you for understanding this, I appreciate it, you have a wonderful night, sweetie.
You heard what that politician's reply was. She thinks his place reflects badly on her leadership. Now she is going to make a big to do about everything! Que lastima!
@@rhondamcdaniel525 Exactly that is so wrong, I get that, they want it to look like the way it's supposed to, but everybody knew it was going on, I just feel bad for this guy, you know, it's not like that now, he had to leave, he's very artistic, I just hope wherever he goes, he'll be happy, these people should have realized that she was going to get rid of it, I just feel bad for the guy..
