If I park in front of a fire hydrant, I get a ticket and towed. Why are they allowing this?
If I park my Motorhome in from of my house to load up for a trip without a permit I get fined.
@@Paiadakine Thats because you are responsible and play by the rules. These assholes have nothing, so they have nothing to loose. They should be rounded up and put in a fenced encampment in the desert. The billions of dollars being put into the "homeless" problem is a joke. Lot's of people getting rich on that one. They will never be an asset to society. I'm so done with the feel good woke BS.
@@midlifemotox I just read Calif allocated $10B for the homeless problem these last three years. Not sure how much was state and how much was fed money but it’s all taxes we paid. I sure can’t see where that money went. What a waste.
@@Paiadakine I'm going to do the math. What is the homeless population vs how many Billions of dollars are being spent. You could probably make each homeless person a millionaire at this rate. If you made a dollar a second,, it takes 12 days to make a million. To make a billion it takes 32 years. People don't conceive how much money that actually is. I drive down the streets in Burbank and it's all good. As soon as I cross into North Hollywood, it like the zombie land. Los Angeles county politicians are useless... I really never cared until now...
You just don't get it. You don't know the plan that is being "executed" for your behalf....and the rest of us.
And Newsom wants to become President after this mess??

@@dancalmpeaceful3903 Ohhhh he will be and that's a guarantee. End of times
Homes less in Florida too and desantis wants to be president????
@@jogmas12 nowhere near the level of homlesss LA has. Not even close.
I was born in LA, I went to visit the family there for the first time in 15 years. The amount of homeless tents and RVs is RIDICULOUS. It’s literally everywhere
I'm one of them. I'm paying $400/mo to rent one of these RVs from some guy I found on Facebook marketplace because I couldn't find anything else affordable. There's no electricity or running water. It's dark and cold at night. I work. I'm not on drugs. I'm not mentally ill. I've just have a lot of bad luck and debt and car problems since covid. I can't afford to rent proper housing at these current prices. Plus I have an eviction on my record from after when my mom died of cancer. I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help. No housing is available except for shelters, which I can't do. I have cats and work late and need my privacy. What's the solution for us? I'm already doing everything I can, and I can't afford to move. I recently tried getting a janitorial job to get back onto my feet, but then I got fired over too many homelessness related problems, ironically. Now I'm back to doing Uber/Lyft/Instacart until my car breaks again. Passengers with luggage hate getting me as their driver. My car is filled with important personal belongings that I can't keep in the RV because they aren't safe there. I don't know what I'm going to do once my car breaks again. The car is a lemon. I already put my dad over $3k into debt for the last transmission rebuild. In addition to over a year's worth in missed car payments, since I fell into homelessness. He can't help me again. I haven't even paid him back for last time yet. I just feel like giving up on society and turning to crime. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody cares anyway. I'm sick of begging and suffering everyday and getting nowhere.
relax karen
@@visionaryentertainment1431 it is everywhere. oh. guess you live in Beverly Hills. oh wait.. tents are there too.
In 1939 there were far more homelessness and shacks for homes around LA than there are now.
Good vote
Most of these people aren’t all from California, people come from all around the country because of how much “free” “government assistance” California gives whether you’re a drug addict or just don’t want to work, u will get help no questions asks. Only encourages people to become lazy and more addicted to whatever they’re on
Imagine how beautiful that street looked in 1953
TH-cam has videos of how they looked back in the day. Wish I could’ve experienced it
It was beautiful in the 70's!❤️
I don't think so Skid Row has been there for decades upon decades. None of these politicians I've ever done anything to help those people.
@@seannadiaz4028 this is no where near skid row
Yeah, back when the wealthy were taxed at 92%.
the council member of that district is simply bluffing. She has done nothing to house these people. She is simply collecting a big fat paycheck, benefits and a huge pension for her. It is terrible. I applaud that couple for doing such a great sacrifice to help these people who are meth addicts,drug addicts, alcoholics etc.. They will not succeed but the fact that they are trying is simply amazing.
you are correct..this is why this problem doesnt get resolved and only gets worse...there are many people making big money to simply shift papers and dont want to see the gravy train stop!
Homelessness is now a big ticket budget item.

They do not want shelter they choose this lifestyle
These are just druggies, you can't help them with housing they don't want that, if you get rid of the drugs they will have to leave
I was born and raised in California, moved out of state in 2017, best decision I ever made

You got that right! It is big business.
Corrupt “leaders”
You are 100% right as I’ve written above it is the city council members and the city government leaders that have accepted these jobs and the paychecks. This is their job to take care of this and protect the city, and the people of the city and they are not doing it.

Thanks for the update. Sad!
Check the bank accounts of the city officials.
How Sad what this country has become.

Just California really. Other places have their own issues, like everywhere else on Earth. But, this homeless situation, is uniquely bad in CA.
@@thembones1895 Not necessarily. Portland, Seattle, Austin, Philly, DC all have this problem and all have one thing in common.
@@PKPhoenix83 They all have the problem, but it's uniquely bad in CA. As in, disproportionately bad in CA. But yeah, those other places have it and it's policy related.

The people in this community fell for their lies and keep them in office scamming taxpayers and businesses year after year. You get the government you vote for. If people would start voting different, withhold their tax dollars and demand reform, they may start seeing some positive changes........
We support homeless RV's in LA better there than here
What a beautiful city.
The little kid was raised good, he called them campers.
Wow ! 500 RVs. I never heard of this before. It's a symptom of many different factors.

not really. 1 symptom. inability to function within a modern society. 300 years ago these people would have been bandits and pirates.

You are witnessing the beginning of this Greatest Depression.
I am homeless and I have 15 kids to feed the government needs to take care all my kids
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...
Freedom is the ability to do what you ought to do.
Not sure what to tell people anymore. Try harder on election day people...
People have been brainwashed to identify with a political party and will do what their masters tell them to. Group think. No individuals.
So if a republican goes into office homelessness will disappear? Ok einstein.

The degradation of our society is appalling. The America I grew up in is gone. I feel for these people but many of them don't want help. Living in such filthy conditions is a recipe for disaster. Heartbreaking to see such hopelessness.
All by plan my friend.
I'm paying rent to live in one of these RVs. I work. I'm not on drugs. I've talked to cops and housing program counselors but nobody can seem to help me. They wanted to get me into a rapid rehousing program months ago but there's no vacancies. I've been calling to follow up but nothing ever comes of it.
@@mikejohn0088 I will agree on this.
@@Network126 Hoping you find solutions.
But when I talk about the intention degradation of society, I get a years long shadow ban.
Senior citizens are being kicked out of their homes. People in Mobile Home Parks are now being kicked out of their trailers. More and more homeless people and not enough housing.
With average 1 bedroom rents going over $2K/month what do you expect. Solving the problem is not 'challenging' its bureaucratic and corpo greed. There are plenty of abandoned malls, buildings, etc that can be converted to solve a lot of this homelessness instead of rotting and becoming an eyesore but it costs money, the politicians have no problems throwing 100s of millions around or sending Billions overseas they just WONT spend it helping their own country first
The homeless industrial complex at work. Look at how much money has been raised to solve this and what exactly has been accomplished. The people receiving those funds don't want this to be fixed, or their gravy train would end.
I like how the homeless don't have rules

I'm glad we're calling them unhoused instead of homeless. That makes all the difference. Now the problem can be solved.
65 kids in 7 RVs!!!! Whaaaaat!!!!
Let’s send $$, supplies to other Countries. And let’s not forget the folks entering our country illegally and we are housing them in motels, providing them $$ and food stamps but yet we do nothing to help our own who are living here in the US living in the streets.
Yep, Room service for filthy illegal immigrants, nothing for american homeless.
I come from Europe and I can tell you it is exactly the same scenario in Europe. All the benefits go to immigration (unlimited resources for them). it does not make sense !

One Angel, in the City of Angels. Thank you Matthew for what you're doing
Wow. And in the 60s California was absolutely beautiful. Drugs, alcohol,
And laziness and mental illness ruined it all
The folks in SoCal just don't get it, they can't see the forest for the trees. Every effort made to " help " the homeless only serves to promote homelessness. Sure, it's a tough fact to acknowledge, but subsidizing that behavior does nothing to discourage it.
This problem didn't occur overnight, and the various " programs " laid out by City, County, and State officials have only made things worse.
Isn't it time to consider a change of approach?
If they keep on causing people to become homeless, then the homeless will overrun the capitol building, and that's one of the ways it will work itself out.
I agree and i am a life long democrat. These people need to be forced into the desert. There are ghost towns they can inhabit with this crap. The leaders are dropping the ball.

Good reporting. No bias one way or the other, just facts. Lord help them all🙏❤
I have so many feelings about this. Why do some people try to ruin it for everyone...people try to help, but other people take advantage and just leave all their garbage everywhere...
There is always that one person or group of people who don't care and everyone pays for their carelessness I also have mixed feelings about the homeless cuz most don't bother you but all that buildup is hard to live with in a constant matter

The only answer is force. It sounds harsh, but reality is harsh.
The politician stated that she "will be" doing something which means she hasn't done anything up to the point that the news has just brought new attention to this situation. Politicians aren't working for the people.
Correct. They are just mouthpieces.

How the hell are homeless getting RVs? Man I’d love to own an RV to go camping with my lady lol
People give them away, they're old and worthless. Probably don't even run.
Them RVs are kinda ugly
You don't know how to listen. They explained it.
The homeless rent the RVs from shady people.
Stealing them..
Over years ive visited more than 120 cities in China and never seen homelessness alike in US UK & EU. Sure there are poverty in rural villages but what is poor ? Poor is within heart and mind. Poor is compare and compete. Once one feels poor everything is perishable and nothing is worth cherishable.
China builds huge cities to house their population. USA doesn't.
This is the California people will remember for next 100 years
You can’t help people that don’t want it.
Total BS from that council person.
Its called pass new laws when it comes to RV ownership- enforce a yearly inspection - no inspection sticker/ not allowed on the street = towed - RV can't be parked no less than 50ft from fire hydrant - If it catches fire the OWNER is responsible of have it being removed/towed within 8 hours-( financial lien) Then to get it through the homeless heads every Monday n Friday - bobcat right down the sidewalk throwing away anything in it's path - ITS PUBLIC PROERTY all citizens get to have access - NO blocking the sidewalk.
Another suggestion - buy a few tiny homes put them in a empty lot - turn it into a HOA type of situation -
Why is the city not enforcing the parking laws ? It's illegal to just park a vehicle without moving every so many hours within so many miles.
vote?
VOTE DIFFERENTLY. The (D) ain't cutting it any more.

Because cost of living and financial problems. I'm paying $400/mo to rent one of these RVs from some guy I found on Facebook marketplace because I couldn't find anything else affordable. There's no electricity or running water. It's dark and cold at night. I work. I'm not on drugs. I'm not mentally ill. I've just have a lot of bad luck and debt and car problems since covid. I can't afford to rent proper housing at these current prices. Plus I have an eviction on my record from after when my mom died of cancer. I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help. No housing is available except for shelters, which I can't do. I have cats and work late and need my privacy. What's the solution for us? I'm already doing everything I can, and I can't afford to move. I recently tried getting a janitorial job to get back onto my feet, but then I got fired over too many homelessness related problems, ironically. Now I'm back to doing Uber/Lyft/Instacart until my car breaks again. Passengers with luggage hate getting me as their driver. My car is filled with important personal belongings that I can't keep in the RV because they aren't safe there. I don't know what I'm going to do once my car breaks again. The car is a lemon. I already put my dad over $3k into debt for the last transmission rebuild. In addition to over a year's worth in missed car payments, since I fell into homelessness. He can't help me again. I haven't even paid him back for last time yet. I just feel like giving up on society and turning to crime. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody cares anyway. I'm sick of begging and suffering everyday and getting nowhere.
You deserve a damn oscar for this.
Real life journalists. Good stuff.
television gets emmys lol
@@TheBic4 Yeah yeah yeah yeah
No they dont. They report what's convenient. While Fox 11 does a better job than most local news, the mainstream media is selective on its coverage. The media could help end homelessness if all aggressively went after the governor and all top politicians, but they wont.
Oscars are for actors 👍🏼

It's just like the movie Vacation when Uncle Eddie is dumping the sewage from the 'Tentiment on Wheels' down the street drain! They KNEW!
It's amazing homeless people have so much stuff.
Hi. I'm a van lifer. It's criminal what some rv parks are charging for a slip. It's as much as an apartment so the homeless strike out there as well. Everywhere the poor go they are priced out and penalized. If they try to save money they are penalized. If they do anything they are penalized. It's against the law not to be successful in America
This is happening in many States not just California.
I haven’t seen anything like this in the Chicagoland area. Yes there are homeless people but not to this extent
No I think it’s just California this bad
@@ericlikestowander7510 Because weather
From Tijuana to Toronto. It is in all three countries, and if it ISN'T worse where you are right now, JUST WAIT AWHILE.
the vast midwest small towns deadly cold winters and blistering hot summers and 0 homeless camps. vote anti abortion.
Very unsettling to know the firetruck can't even get to the hydrant. Any place else someone would get a ticket. Also as that one guy said; not everyone wants help because he rather have this freedom.
Took the Compton bus to downtown from the Rosa Parks trains set: (they were renovating the tracks). Cars blocking almost every apt. access. Tow them. They're never run again, and you need in Calif. to pay for non licensed cars. In El Monte we aren't allowed to park on ANY part of our yard that isn't paved.
OMG that's horrible. Somebody should email the White House and get step by step instruction on how to resolve this issue
Sick!
A famous movie line was, HELP ME HELP YOU. I'm a very positive and optimistic person but these critical circumstances are just like gangs. NEVER ENDING
Just like the cops. Biggest gang in town!
Love and Prayers 🙏 😰 💔 🥰 💕 💗 🙏
The people in charge of working with the homeless make six figures and they are not interested in eliminating the problem or they will be out of a job.
What no one wants to admit is that most of these people are beyond help. There are resources to get off the street if you want. These people just want to live in lawlessness and do drugs all day.
Yep, and they have 8 kids running around because they just keep birthing them out and then the kids don't go to school, see their parents slumped over day and in day out. The parents don't teach the kids how to talk half the time, teach them nothing just have them "play outside" on the side walk for yearssss at a time and NEVER send them to school, and we just let this happen? Hammer needs to come down. All those off spring will completely illiterate insane.
No there aren't. Most programs and outreach orgs are scams. They provide the smallest help and take on all that sweet money for overhead costs.
What resources? I live here in Cali and there are none! No low income housing just nothing
@evanshall the gaslighting certainly helps.
Not most. Some. It’s often said California is too expensive and this is just the byproduct. There’s so much to it than just drugs and everything being expensive.
There are approximately 65 kids there if I could I'd get them out of that situation someone needs to help the kids get better living conditions I hope they get them out before they end up dead, on drugs, or sexually exploited.
Fentanyl is destroying our society slowly but steadily. They are adding rat poison, horse tranquilizer, sedative benzo, wasp dope, nitazene chemicals into pills street homeless smoke all day long.
@@sarbantz drugs are one of the main reasons for homelessness I think they should try to help addicts with rehabilitation and if they choose to keep doing drugs then let them, but the kids are innocent until it's too late I worry about what will become of those kids lives they still have a chance and not get stuck in the cycle of homelessness, drugs, sexual exploitation, and death.
@@rodbars I hear you. As of now, they let people smoke fentanyl openly like that's just a game, just fun.
@@sarbantz the drug addicts have given up on themselves so society has given up on them and I don't blame them people try to help but they're stuck in a cycle and they choose to stay stuck.
The kids are already being exploited. Look at the conditions they are in. Theres no question.. its total lawlessness. LA county is pro pedo.
These people needs to help themselves first. Show tough love, not love.
Can’t believe this is Los Angeles

I worked off 190th and Main st. from 2014 to 2016, it has gotten way worse but problem was already festering.

@@sarbantz the war on drugs has failed..do what the UK does with their DR monitored programs addicts are addicts
@@lutomson3496 there is no recreational drugs use any longer with fentanyl around. If you flirting with drugs even just marijuana, you are extremely likely to end up smoking fentanyl without even realizing it which would be your death sentence. Heroin addicts used to hit the rock bottom and change their lives by going to detox and rehab. The rock bottom for fentanyl and modern synthetic drugs addicts is nothing else but do miserable death ☠️💀⚰️
I discovered this place by accident a few years ago. I was driving home from work and WAZE gave me an alert of an accident on the 405 and told me to take the next exist. I found myself in an area by the Goodyear Blimp and the Porsche road test. I followed Broadway Blvd and for miles, it was solid, broken down RV's.

Me too! I was driving back from Santa Clarita and Waze had me get off the freeway and take surface streets through industrial areas with miles of RV's. Smell was horrible 🤢

The bit about how the RVs are rental properties enforced by arson is dystopian as heck.
