Yea… it’s not a problem when the common citizen has to worry about the homelessness problem, but the minute it affects the rich, action suddenly needs to be taken seriously
Yes!! We all pay a lot of property taxes in California. No matter the location and it's not fair that we see more homeless in the streets near our homes, schools, businesses.
Some people tolerate it, some don’t. It seems like the upstanding, responsible and civil people won’t tolerate that. Those people tend to have money. Meanwhile lowlife irresponsible people tend to tolerate it.
@@philmccracken179 unfortunately you’re right. But most of these low lives would rather support the actual homeless state of living because of liberal ideals. No offense to anyone but it’s true, it’s one thing to be a liberal and have a different political view, it’s another to be absolutely unreasonable and allow this to keep going.
@@truecanuck97Oooooh now a news story about the ramped homeless issue in LA because it affects Beverly Hill. Like SF this has been going on in LA for decades and only get worst - embarrassing we treat people this way.
@@openminds8765 LA busses the homeless around from community to community to avoid the headlines. Long Beach, El Sugundo, Inglewood, West Hollywood...LA needs to bus them to the Pacific Palisades right in front of Kamala's vacation home.
In May I went to LA on a business trip - I was quite excited to see what had become of the City of Angels since my last visit in 2004. To my horror what greeted me was ubiquitous litter, pollution, sprawling tent settlements - and the human leftovers of the opioid crisis. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, all of it was beyond words as I counted the hours till my departure. They`ve really let it go..
It wasn’t a problem until it came to their neighborhood 🙄 I truly hope it spreads even further into the more affluent areas so they can experience the stuff that we common folks go through on a daily basis.
Maybe then they'll actually start taking some action against people being priced out of their homes, regulating the conditions of the working poor and making sure the services these rich people take for granted and rely on daily can be done by working people that have somewhere to live and are not driven to destitution month after month. Maybe. Because, hey, the problem is now in their back yard and as much as they hate to admit it, they ARE the enablers. Vote and take action for affordable housing in coastal cities.
*Indeed! The Beverly Hills Democrats are the ones who pour millions of dollars in campaign donations to irresponsible, corrupt, inept politicians WHO SHARE THEIR TWISTED IDEOLOGY -- AND who are dedicated to turning California and the USA into one giant FAVELA.*
Who’s this “they” that you’re talking about? Why do you expect these rich Beverly Hills residents to do something about encampments in the other area? People in Orange County don’t do anything about what’s happening in Skid Rows. Why don’t you bash them also?
@@frankyhonnolus5528 Because the Beverly Hills crowd are the ones who finance (see campaign contributions) those slimy, inept, corrupyt lefty loons whose policies are turning L.A, California, and the USA into a major dump. ... And btw: Orange county is not a Democrat region. It's red! They don't vote for stupidity like this.....
Are you new to LA? How is it that you don't realize that Redondo, Hermosa, and Manhattan Beaches have all been picking up homeless individuals and transporting them all to skid row since at least Jan '97, and probably years before that of which I'm unaware. This isn't a new problem. That's 25+ years of not addressing this issue before it became out of control. Reagan cut all the funding for mental institutions back in the 80s, and that was 2 terms of his, and one of Bush senior, that those building fell into total disrepair. The US didn't have a homeless population until that happened, and then POOF overnight these people were forced out of mental institutions and onto the streets. Some have been there ever since, self-medicating. These actions have long-term consequences. You almost never saw homeless people in any city in the US except for a very small number of transient, low-functioning psychopaths, before Reagan caused the mass closure of all those institutions all over the US and it happened almost overnight.
@Bossybk28 Thanks! Actually, where I live is full of Trumpers! Also, we take care of our homeless, unlike California people. we care about our population.

Everyone is forced to vaccinate and wear masks and we should make it really difficult for anyone to enter the states, except maybe the super clean and extremely hygenic people making an illegal border crossing without any social distancing is perfectly fine. At a core level Californians are incompetent and you might just be part of the proven
@amux patch It's a sarcastic reference to a show years ago called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", but yes I'm pointing the finger at Beverly Hills because they to aren't immune to the homeless issues in LA. They need to see it up front like the rest of us that are dealing with it.
In the USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than $760k within just a year, and I've entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.
@@hunter-bourke21 Could you guide me on how to get in touch with your advisor? My funds are being eroded by inflation, and I'm seeking a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize them.
Sure, the financial advisor that guides me is *Mary Onita Wier* and she's renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn't be a hassle finding her. Just look her up.
After locating her, I composed an email and arranged a phone conversation. I'm optimistic that she will reply, and my goal is to conclude 2023 on a financially successful note.
Exactly! Look what happened when illegals were bussed to Martha's Vineyard. Illegal immigration wasnt an issue until it happened to them. I'm beyond over people making laws/policy decisions for things they know nothing about instead of doing what those on front lines recommend. It's easy to sit back and say ban guns when you're protected 24/7 by armed guards and live behind security walls. Same goes for casting votes. This is what most of California keeps voting for.
Not doable, this is the lesser area of Beverly hillls, where the real reach people are it’s in the hills, have community gates, and ongoing security around patrolling. Even if you aren’t homeless and you’re just looking around they’re Quick tk kick you out hahaha
We have the same problem in my city. Last week the mayor said the city will allow tents only in public parks. The proposed solution is to develop several unwanted pieces of land and built mini homes that would house the homeless. They are not much bigger than a backyard shed with shared toilet and shower facilities. The ongoing problem is that landlords are charging unaffordable rents since there are so few rental units available compared with the demand.
@@robertshipley6990 Its full of SJW celebrities that vote HEAVY blue. A herd of these homeless people need to make their way into Beverly Hills and then maybe they will start changing how they vote.
Back in '97 when I lived in Hermosa and Manhattan beaches, the police would pick them up and drive them to Skid Row. That happened for a decade until I moved. I was there again last week, and there are still no homeless people in HB, MB and Redondo, so that tells me they've continued to do this. It's not the first or only time the homeless have tried to be in the wealthiest neighborhoods.
@@arestus many don’t want to be helped! I’m not talking families and others who use shelters. I’m talking about the ones who don’t want help as far as shelters as they want zero restrictions on their drug use and movements! Once you legalise encampments and open air drug use..you then get out of state users come in too to! Until open air drug use is clamped down along with a number of other enabling laws/lack of laws this will continue. Which seems to be what the Dems don’t want!
@@SedriqMiers nah, it's am excuse..... So what do you propose, give them free shelter, free feed, give them free mental health counseling? So then why do I have to work if they just get everything for free. If you don't want to be a productive member of society, then you will get nothing for me. I don't care what excuse they give.
I live in a poor area in south LA. There are homeless everywhere but the politicians and media don't care. As soon as homeless show up to a rich neighborhood, suddenly the media report on it and the councilmembers call for an emergency to have something done about it.
Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra were bragging if they give millions to the drag queens they should move their tents over to their property I mean how many mansions are out there more than enough room to move the tents off of the street
Yeah because the rich have money to throw at the problem to get it brushed off their doorstep. They will not be able to keep this away for long with how things are going.
One of our neighbors just got evicted yesterday for destroying property, yelling, raging, breaking and slamming things all day and night for the past 5 months. We had to live in fear/chaos/hell bc of him. We lost neighbors bc of him. Nowhere to go he will end up in the streets bc he refuses his family’s ultimatum of rehab.
Its really sad. We had a local homeless person aka addict/mental health person in our neighborhood. Took nearly 3 years of him screaming, howling and crapping on the street at all hours before he got help. He only stopped a couple days a month when he got paid and was able to pretty much be comatose on drugs, or for an hour or two during the daytime when he slept I guess. The rest of the time it was like having a banchee out in front of your house. The cops were called all the time, in fact this neighborhood has the police station at the end of the block but nothing was done. Finally a couple months back he started banging his head and falling all the time and they fitted him with a special helmet. When he started removing that and nearly killed himself the "ever kind" lefties did the unthinkable. They put him against his will into mental health treatment. Unfortunately I think it was too late to save his life. People who think they are so "moral and kind" because the only people whose activities they want to control are the tax paying, law abiding normal folks, otherwise allowing people to sleep in the elements, live in filth and take drugs day and night is ok with them. I sometimes think these lefties are so afraid they are going to be told they can't smoke pot or take their recreational drugs they are willing to forfeit anyone's life who has the misfortune of getting addicted.
Too bad u had to live in fear. No one should b living in fear. What kind of life is that? No one should infringe on your peace n happiness. Too bad no one has the balls to euthanize him n put him out of his misery.
Oh they understand it real well they just don't want to fix it IF they did fix it, it would put them out of a job and no more access to the Billions of dollars.
@@kathleenking47 Please use some common sense. Reagan cut the funding for mental institutions back in the 80s and it's 2023. In other words, those institutions that shut down have been vacant for DECADES now, and might be in extreme disrepair. If they have not been maintained they will be a DANGER to anyone who moves into them, and especially service dogs. We need a temporary solution, in buildings that are already in operation and safe, and people need services in the interim while the work on long-term solutions. A lot of the homeless individuals have untreated bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and the drug addicts mostly have underlying Cluster B disorders for which there is no medication, and they need long-term therapy which is incredibly specialized and expensive. Those who are suffering from untreated PTSD will most likely be the fastest population to treat with EMDR and get back on their feet, as long as they don't have any comorbidities. This is not a quick fix. The money has to come from somewhere to pay for all this, too. We do not have socialized medicine here the US. Our physicians have hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan debt they've borrowed and owe. Medicine for profit in the US is a massive problem, as is education for profit. In other countries, they don't have to pay to go to medical school, or to get a nursing degree, or for dental school. In the US, we do. This is a multi-faceted problem that needs to be addressed. I wish there were a quick, easy fix.
That moment when that across town problem is now at your doorstep is priceless. Wasn’t much of a problem when it’s in your neighborhood but once it hits where the city leaders live then it’s an emergency. Remember these are people you vote for, learn to vote in better leadership next time but thanks for playing

Yes it is a shame but this is what the voters voted for. The voters overwhelmingly want this as evidenced by their voting. 1970 is the year democrats took control of the legislature and currently have a super majority. The voters are more than happy with the direction California has gone the last 50 year or the voters would not give democrats a 2/3's majority.
This is a problem here in Chicago too. All the major parks have at least one homeless encampment. But instead of helping them out we decide to take on refugees from Mexico. It’s actually quite sad how we always have room for others but never any for our own people.
To Eligreg99: What? Chicago? The topic is the *IRONY* of the most dreamed-of district to reside in the world is transforming into a dangerous situation for the upright.
Ironic as most of the those "refuges from Mexico" are willing to find a work to support themselves... Take a look at what's going on Florida where most farmers couldn't find workers for their crops after the new "tough immigration law" thus increasing the value for fruits and vegetables... meanwhile the homeless that already here in the U.S, majority of them just don't want to work.
Most of the people coming over from border are not from Mexico , they are using the system to claim asylum . They are from Central American , South America , Africa , Central Asia and even Gypsies from Europe and China . Let’s just say I work in green
WHERE ARE THE POLICE???? There is typically some very simple bylaw that is not being applied. 1:16 clearly states this. I am in Vancouver, Canada. We have "tent cities" all over the city and surrounding municipalities. It was recently stated on our news that there is a bylaw that requires all tents to be broken down and removed ....DAILY! So "over-night" ....tenting ....is allowed .....I think in parks ....BUT THEY CANNOT REMAIN DURING THE DAY! So my question to OUR police is ......WHY AREN'T YOU DOING YOUR JOBS???? These police in Vancouver are now being paid $122,000 annually ......they JUST GOT A RAISE .....and then they've got benefits, perks, pensions, and pension benefits. And somehow, ONE tent becomes 30 or 50 tents .......and a whole pile of junk littered all around every tent!!! WHERE do these "homeless" people get all this stuff ......AND transport it to their tents???? Lets face and come to agreement ....the PRIMARY PROBLEM IS DRUGS. It is in Vancouver, Canada, .....and every single city and town and truck stop across the entire country. SO WHY DON'T WE STOP THE DRUGS ENTERING THE COUNTRIES .....CANADA AND THE U.S.???? WHY NOT SPEND A COUPLE BILLION DOLLARS AND SHUT DOWN ALL ILLEGAL DRUG IMPORTATION??? This cost would probably pale in the costs drug addicts impose on ALL the support systems in both countries ....policing, medical services, funeral services. WORK WITH THE COUNTRIES THAT EXPORT DRUGS!!! If we don't, it is just going to get worse. .
Yup...all the 12 thousand downtown first..right up to Beverly Hills where they belong..then the rest can follow. ..there's a cupcake ATM there u know. 🙂
I moved to St Thomas in 2013 to be a bar tender after getting my bachelor in engineering and working at a $85k job. I was scared at 1st the I suffered a mental breakdown. I couldn't take it so I left America. THE BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! I no longer have anxiety nor depression. I have real friends whom I call family, we play soccer every weekend plus Tuesday evenings, video games every Thursday and Friday nights, plus party Saturday nights at nightclubs where folks dont flex. I'm really Happy. I wish I've done this earlier. 😊
I hope the cops continue to send the homeless into the richest neighborhoods, it's the only way it will ever be fixed. They certainly aren't going to create mental health facilities as it's not monetarily beneficial in any way. The only change will come from inconveniencing the rich, politicians, and elite.
The generous people of Beverly Hills will open their homes and finances for the Sanctuary City they talked, voted and promoted. God Bless the homeless of Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills is a sanctuary City? that I never heard. Also never heard of a Beverly Hills sanctuary City ballot measure; especially one which Beverly Hills residents unanimously voted yes . And I live out this way.
Go to the police department with a friend to film you. Watch how quickly they will force you to leave the public property by them. They ignore this next to people's homes and businesses. However, they do not ignore if it bothers their personal lives. As an alternative, park your RV outside councilman Katy's house. Again, film it and post on TH-cam how quickly you will be forced to leave or given a ticket.
Don't listen to the jerk above, stay safe, you are not alone, and don't be afraid to ask for help and move if you're able to. Relocation was my start over to a new life, out of state though since I couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't even homeless and could barely pay my bills in the most low-income apartments.

@@desconocido188 for real what an ignorant comment lol I’ve had homeless people attack my girlfriend as she walked to her car to go to work. Because parking is a joke in LA
BTW, I reside in a city that as soon as a tent goes up in a park, sidewalk, or neighborhood, the cops are there warning, issuing tickets if necessary, running their ID'S, and taking them to jail if they have warrants or refuse to remove their tents. Also the cops enforce parking hours so campers do not move into streets. Those minor laws if followed on the books makes or breaks a city.
1) Make living on the streets illegal 2) Make being under the influence in public illegal 3) Put offenders in jail 4) Give them all of the social services they need to be rehabilitated Problem solved.
But see the liberal will say but that doesn't focus on the core of the issue. When we lock people up we do them more harm than good but this is the fallacy. Some people don't give a damn so if you get soft they will take sheer advantage in the fact they never cared but many others do.
I moved to south OC because I loved the area and how clean everything was. I never saw any homeless in the 5 years that I’ve lived in MV, however in the last year I’ve seen an increase of homeless people in different spots of OC. It’s alarming.
I like how that lady says “they are fighting and doing drugs”! I’m pretty sure a good majority of the people that live in Beverly Hills are also “fighting and doing drugs”.
@@michaelscott181 I agree with you on that. I just find it interesting that no mater where we are at on the food chain of life we are encountering the same problems but in different venues and at different pay grades.
Your right , the real problem is being ignored like usual. 99% of the people that are homeless are drug users. And its being brought thru our open borders , great job Joe Biden.
Drugs aren't a 'habit', they're an addiction. And usually linked to a trauma or mental health issue. But now its so bad its NOT just that, its literally people who can't afford housing. Thats a SOCIAL and political problem.
@@mikearchibald744 Actually drug use is linked more to Cluster B disorders, first and foremost, and people with true mental illness (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc.) are usually self-medicating.

That one lady, who was too cowardly to show her face has a lot of nerve. "It is affecting THEIR quality of life, " have SEVERAL seats lady. Imagine how those people feel who are in those encampments. I love people who have these, "it will never happen to me attitudes."
@@gatbos Very strange to be pro homeless. Do you think it's better for them to be left in situ slowly dying from drug use and living in dangerous volatile situations? Not sure how that's something to be upheld if you're in the interest of humanity. These people need help and intervention, not a free pass to exist next to a highway until they self destruct.
If we can direct the majority of homeless people from downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco to the wealthy exclusive areas, then I think real change will occur because once it actually affects them, they do push for a change in administration. Just my opinion.
While I understand your line of thinking, and agree that the wealthy have the power and influence to affect change, we have to also remember that these are human beings, many of whom had childhoods that were traumatize the heck out of most of us. People don't develop mental illnesses and personality disorders in a vacuum, it's early childhood neglect, abuse, deprivation and trauma that causes those disorders, which is why they're known as developmental disorders. Many (not all) of these people are emotionally younger than 5 years old living in adult bodies and engaging in very adult activities while behaving like young children. We can't lose sight of that. They are not objects without feelings.
The poor and homeless population will keep growing until they will brake into those mansions. That's what happens when you let corporations to run a country.
Excellent! Glad to see this happening all over CA! Being homeless is a choice and the reason why it’s a choice is because you are being taxed billions of dollars to help the homeless yet the problem continues to get worse! You elected these fools now enjoy your lack of quality of life. It will only get worse!
Where do you get your info from or what crack pipe are you smoking. We are not taxed to help the homeless FYI our tax dollars are not used to benefit the American citizens whether they're housed or homeless. Our tax dollars go straight to funding bailouts, military contractors overseas, AIPAC, wall street criminals I suggest you get with the program and another FYI not all homeless people choose to be homeless.
And there are multiple reasons why there are so many homeless in the United States. Try looking at the cost of housing, rent and property taxes start there!!!
LA has a "Czar of Homelessness" since January. Her salary is $430,000 plus benefits and car, travel all paid for by us. She is planning a Convention for the other CEOs of homelessness in Maui. They have no reason to end this problem because it is their meal ticket paid for by the taxpayers.
MAYOR BASS "SMILEY" SAID EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE WHERE THEY WANT TO, SO NOW YOU HAVE THEM. ENJOY YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR. IT'S A SANCTUARY CITY RIGHT?
Man.. good thing LA county is a sanctuary city. Beverly hills being smack dab in middle of LA County would lead me to believe Beverly hills should show the compassion they claimed to have for those in need when they touted themselves as a "sanctuary county". It's always the appearance of being compassionate with these dems....
Compassion exhaustion. For every 1 person that cares there is 10,000 needy hands and hungry mouths. Dont believe? Look at the stats. Look at the bottom billion. 8 billion people in this world. We are the top 100 million. So for 100,000,000 people living the american dream , whil 8,000,000,000.. people in the world. Let me break down to smaller number 1 out 80 people have american dream. The bottom billion people.. live off less than 1$ per day. Some places work 14 hours a day digging for gold dust so they can get 1 or 2$... And then buy a loaf of bread. Then live in their rent free hut, drink ground water, sleep in dirty clothes or donated clothes we export over seas. A whole village of desperate poor people that make you feel like a billionaire if you have 20$ in your pocket. Then there is the phillipine kids community that live in the slums. A whole slum village. Eating from dumpster and landfill filtered food. No rent. No school. Dumpster clothes, dumpster food, dumpster shelter. They grow up from childhood to adulthood. The idea of a mcdonald cheese burger is like heaven to them. Their play ground is the dumpster. Of course.. the mothers scrap metal and tins.. for couple dollars a day.. but they also have like 12 to 15 kids.. in the dumpster area. Some from rape or lack of condom and some because they know half the kids wont survive or die of some random stuff. American history used to be a bit more like that. Before we had vaccines for chicken pox, etc.. people use to have more kids in the farms and had farm workers toil the land. Life gotten way easier with technological advances. In fact most people have the whole internet in thier hands. Knowledge at the tips of the finger tips. But life is really hard for alot of folks. Accepting this situation. The burden of life. So what i am saying is.. nothing changed but it got easier for us to create or destroy. Imagine.. being a farm boy back in the day of the west. You grow up in some farm. Its dark. Candle lit. Your father just tells you what you need to do. Toil the land. Cook. Kill animal. Have wife. Kids. And repeat over and over. Super boring. Some folks opt out. Life is super boring. But super easy. Hard on the body but easy. Just wake up. Toil land. Live. Now its different. We dont farm and its less harder on the body. But we still got use our mind more. Since we got construction vehicles, tools, power tools, internet, computers. Whatever. Anyway.. this world has to move forward and we are going to have growing pains. Just like how kids have growing pains going to school. Its a drag , mom!! To go to school!!! Lol 😂 ahh growing pains.. only if we could remain babies forever.
It doesn't just happen there. I happens everywhere. I live in a state that has a Republican super majority and we have homeless camps. And while we have really short and mild winters, we don't have the year-round nice weather they have in southern CA. One camp was just off of a highway and a major road and I went by it every day going to work and coming home. The piles of trash was insane and it got worse and worse as it went. A couple of weeks ago, they were finally ran off and it was all cleaned up. before that, they were on the north side of the highway, kind of hidden away until the camp got out of hand and they started burning tires. They moved to the south side after getting ran off from the north side. I'm sure they will pop up somewhere nearby soon.
@@DaveCM That sounds like Austin, TX. Isn't it great smelling piss, finding needles, being harrassed, and having people drugged-up and passed out five feet from your door in the middle of the day? Yeah, God bless those wonderful, hard-working, compassionate homeless people. They just give and give.
I don’t like the term homeless. Some people are just down on their luck, and they may have to live in their car for months at a time, or stay with friends or family till they get back on their feet. So they are temporarily without a home. But these encampments are mostly made up of people with mental health issues, such as veterans with PTSD. This is permanent. Someone down on their luck doesn’t defecate in their pants. Those with mental health issues need help. If they could vote you’d see how fast they’d be helped.
That's more shocking than people not caring about themselves, getting on drugs, deciding the streets are their new home, and literally threatening anyone who crosses their path? Nah. What's sad is all of the free things they get and it's still never enough. Ban narcan.
Ladies and gents, this is a representation of how we vote and folks we get in the office and little that is done to actually solve the problem. Caruso was absolutely right. It takes $600k to $800k to build an affordable housing unit to house a homeless person. My husband is working on a similar project now.

Also, according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 11% of the adult homeless population are veterans.
@@cameronb3834 Eh, I have no family support, serious anxiety and PTSD issues, chronic kidney disease, I've kept it together. It's called credit cards and planning. I have met many homeless people and they mostly are just selfish drug-addcits who don't want to work.
Yeah, weird … as soon as the eviction moratorium ended, homeless people are everywhere. Nice work, L.A. We’re out May 1st. The place is Detroit with palm-trees.
Well, Beverly Hills residents are solid supporters of the governments which have created this problem, so all I can do is congratulate them on the results of their political decisions.
It's like you're so young, you've completely forgotten it was Ronnie Reagan who, with one swipe of his pen, cut all the funding for mental health institutions across the US and cause, almost overnight, the first homeless population since Hoovervilles sprang up in the depression. That was back in the early 80s that happened, and he kept them that way for two terms, and his former VP Bush Sr. upheld that for another 4 years for a total of 12 years of no maintenance or upkeep on them. Now, I'm guessing you know what happens to buildings that are left empty for several years. They became unfit for workers, much less to house mentally ill individuals. By the time 1993 rolled around, and we were in a full-blown recession, there was no money to make the massive repairs from lack of upkeep over the last decade. When I lived in Manhattan in 1990, these now homeless individuals were freezing to death sleeping on the metal grates on the streets because the homeless shelters were so violent and dangerous. The city was giving people 2 options: a one-way Greyhound bus ticket back to a family member or, if no family member would allow them home, they had to go to the west coast so at least they wouldn't freeze to death on the street overnight. Those were brutal winters back then, not like the mld NYC winters of recent. You need to direct your anger at the empathy-deficient narcissists who created this problem Ronnie Reagan and George Bush, Sr. Go rage at their graves. They started this nightmare that, by the time anyone could try and change it, was going to cost the US a fortune in the middle of a huge economic recession. This was a nationwide closure of mental health facilities, too. Almost overnight, I learned as a child what homelessness was. I had never seen more than a handfull of homeless vagrants in my city prior to that nationwide closure of mental institutions. Now, in 2023, the problem is so massive...but it did not start recently. Heck, when I moved to Hermosa Beach in 1997, the police would load up any homeless individual and drive them down to skid row. Guess what, I was there law weekend and there are still no homeless encampments, so they've kept on doing this. You need to learn some history.
Are you daft? In a Chicago winter they will FREEZE to death, and die in the sweltering heat and humidity of your miserable summers. Heck, most of us can't even conceive of surviving in an apartment there the weather is so miserable.
And in Chicago, there are agencies that are actually helping people get off of the street. That was one good thing the plague did for Illinois. Money was set aside for rapid rehousing. And love it or hate it, Chicago is finally using some of those vacant buildings to house people. If more cities took that money, rehab'd those warehouses, schools that shut down and so on, we could end homelessness in about a year. But nope. They would just rather give them choke sandwiches and a "blessing bag" of mini toothpaste and bars of soap. Pocket the rest of the money for themselves.
Well, sounds like everyone’s gonna have to experience with others in LA are also experiencing huh?…… WE ARE ALL PAYING HIGH TAXES AND SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO LIVING IN CONDITIONS LIKE THIS. WE’RE ALL FED UP EVEN IF WE DON’T LIVE IN BEVERLY HILLS…….
Great progress is being made with homeless neighbors. Hats off to Beverly Hills for being so amazing with this new development. Gavin Newsum is so humble he does not want to take credit for this new housing approach.Keep the progress going California.
When I moved to Hermosa Beach in '97, they police were picking up homeless individuals and driving them to skid row. This has been a problem for a long, long time. Oh, and I was back in Hermosa, Manhattan, and Redondo beaches just last week and there are STILL no homeless people, just like the decade I lived there, and that tells me nothing has changed, and it's only compiled the problem for 25+ years now.
You must be new. This has been a problem since the 80s when Reagan cut all the funding for the mental institutions all over the US. This has been a problem for DECADES. You must be new to California....or very, very young that you don't remember this history when we suddenly had a homeless population overnight.
Japan has a near zero tolerance on drugs (the only exception being alcohol) and even though they haven't solved homelessness altogether they certainly don't have anything near what the US has.
@@karlabritfeld7104 did you not see my parenthetical comment? I said alcohol was the only legal drug. Even with that aside it doesn't change the outcome of reduced drug use has a direct correlation to decreased homelessness.
@@karlabritfeld7104alcohol is a solvent mind you. Allow to remind you it doesn't produce an immediate intoxicating effect like other narcotics (but for some strange reason, even being 0.02 BAC is considered 'impairment') like delta-9 thc cannabis that can deliver an immediate (by immediate - per doseage can undoubtly impair judgement and motor functions, drowsieness, etc), on top of both substances being addictive. Yes, alcohol is a drug.. because it had to be labeled as such (it's still a soving agent, all alcohol does is dissolve) for reason that humans consume it.
*Homeless people are all DEMON POSSESSED* it is not a “mental illness”. Demons took over their bodies and use them to move around and to make them commit crimes! No person, even mentally challenged, will subject themselves to this level of lawlessness and filth.
Why do they need free housing? There are many news segments where they are offered a free room (privacy, access to a shower and a kitchen) and they say "That's too small." I am so tired of them. I've had drug-addict neighbors threaten me so I am tired of hearing it. Contribute or go live in the woods. Not on the corner, IN the woods. And stay there.

Once you become homeless, its next to impossible to get out of that. In Philadelphia, if you go in some shelters, staff actually steal from the homeless can constantly talk down to them. Its unbelievable.
It is absolutely true. Once you become homeless, it is almost impossible to get out of it, unless you are very fortunate and have a find a high-paying job.

Yes!! We all pay a lot of property taxes in California. No matter the location and it's not fair that we see more homeless in the streets near our homes, schools, businesses.

It wasn’t a problem until it came to their neighborhood 🙄 I truly hope it spreads even further into the more affluent areas so they can experience the stuff that we common folks go through on a daily basis.
Absolutely right
Maybe then they'll actually start taking some action against people being priced out of their homes, regulating the conditions of the working poor and making sure the services these rich people take for granted and rely on daily can be done by working people that have somewhere to live and are not driven to destitution month after month. Maybe. Because, hey, the problem is now in their back yard and as much as they hate to admit it, they ARE the enablers. Vote and take action for affordable housing in coastal cities.

Are you new to LA? How is it that you don't realize that Redondo, Hermosa, and Manhattan Beaches have all been picking up homeless individuals and transporting them all to skid row since at least Jan '97, and probably years before that of which I'm unaware.
This isn't a new problem. That's 25+ years of not addressing this issue before it became out of control.
Reagan cut all the funding for mental institutions back in the 80s, and that was 2 terms of his, and one of Bush senior, that those building fell into total disrepair.
The US didn't have a homeless population until that happened, and then POOF overnight these people were forced out of mental institutions and onto the streets. Some have been there ever since, self-medicating.
These actions have long-term consequences. You almost never saw homeless people in any city in the US except for a very small number of transient, low-functioning psychopaths, before Reagan caused the mass closure of all those institutions all over the US and it happened almost overnight.

@@axiathunder9128 And yet California pays the homeless like a salary every month. This means: votes!
So movie stars lifestyle was the image of LA all this time to outside world.
@amux patch It's a sarcastic reference to a show years ago called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", but yes I'm pointing the finger at Beverly Hills because they to aren't immune to the homeless issues in LA. They need to see it up front like the rest of us that are dealing with it.
In the USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than $760k within just a year, and I've entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.
@@hunter-bourke21 Could you guide me on how to get in touch with your advisor? My funds are being eroded by inflation, and I'm seeking a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize them.

Not doable, this is the lesser area of Beverly hillls, where the real reach people are it’s in the hills, have community gates, and ongoing security around patrolling. Even if you aren’t homeless and you’re just looking around they’re Quick tk kick you out hahaha
We have the same problem in my city. Last week the mayor said the city will allow tents only in public parks. The proposed solution is to develop several unwanted pieces of land and built mini homes that would house the homeless. They are not much bigger than a backyard shed with shared toilet and shower facilities. The ongoing problem is that landlords are charging unaffordable rents since there are so few rental units available compared with the demand.
Those "homes" come with rules that these junkies dont want to abide by.

Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra were bragging if they give millions to the drag queens they should move their tents over to their property I mean how many mansions are out there more than enough room to move the tents off of the street
Yeah because the rich have money to throw at the problem to get it brushed off their doorstep. They will not be able to keep this away for long with how things are going.
One of our neighbors just got evicted yesterday for destroying property, yelling, raging, breaking and slamming things all day and night for the past 5 months. We had to live in fear/chaos/hell bc of him. We lost neighbors bc of him. Nowhere to go he will end up in the streets bc he refuses his family’s ultimatum of rehab.

@@nannerz1994 it wouldn't happen so often if they weren't passing out rehab and narca like it's skittles. You create your mess, you figure it out.
Its really sad. We had a local homeless person aka addict/mental health person in our neighborhood. Took nearly 3 years of him screaming, howling and crapping on the street at all hours before he got help. He only stopped a couple days a month when he got paid and was able to pretty much be comatose on drugs, or for an hour or two during the daytime when he slept I guess. The rest of the time it was like having a banchee out in front of your house. The cops were called all the time, in fact this neighborhood has the police station at the end of the block but nothing was done. Finally a couple months back he started banging his head and falling all the time and they fitted him with a special helmet. When he started removing that and nearly killed himself the "ever kind" lefties did the unthinkable. They put him against his will into mental health treatment. Unfortunately I think it was too late to save his life. People who think they are so "moral and kind" because the only people whose activities they want to control are the tax paying, law abiding normal folks, otherwise allowing people to sleep in the elements, live in filth and take drugs day and night is ok with them. I sometimes think these lefties are so afraid they are going to be told they can't smoke pot or take their recreational drugs they are willing to forfeit anyone's life who has the misfortune of getting addicted.
Too bad u had to live in fear. No one should b living in fear. What kind of life is that? No one should infringe on your peace n happiness. Too bad no one has the balls to euthanize him n put him out of his misery.
This is the message politicians need to understand, and now something will be done like always. The rich get hurt, now it matters.

@@kathleenking47 Please use some common sense. Reagan cut the funding for mental institutions back in the 80s and it's 2023.
In other words, those institutions that shut down have been vacant for DECADES now, and might be in extreme disrepair. If they have not been maintained they will be a DANGER to anyone who moves into them, and especially service dogs.
We need a temporary solution, in buildings that are already in operation and safe, and people need services in the interim while the work on long-term solutions.
A lot of the homeless individuals have untreated bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and the drug addicts mostly have underlying Cluster B disorders for which there is no medication, and they need long-term therapy which is incredibly specialized and expensive.
Those who are suffering from untreated PTSD will most likely be the fastest population to treat with EMDR and get back on their feet, as long as they don't have any comorbidities.
This is not a quick fix. The money has to come from somewhere to pay for all this, too.
We do not have socialized medicine here the US. Our physicians have hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan debt they've borrowed and owe.
Medicine for profit in the US is a massive problem, as is education for profit. In other countries, they don't have to pay to go to medical school, or to get a nursing degree, or for dental school. In the US, we do.
This is a multi-faceted problem that needs to be addressed.

Ironic as most of the those "refuges from Mexico" are willing to find a work to support themselves... Take a look at what's going on Florida where most farmers couldn't find workers for their crops after the new "tough immigration law" thus increasing the value for fruits and vegetables... meanwhile the homeless that already here in the U.S, majority of them just don't want to work.
Most of the people coming over from border are not from Mexico , they are using the system to claim asylum . They are from Central American , South America , Africa , Central Asia and even Gypsies from Europe and China . Let’s just say I work in green

WHERE ARE THE POLICE???? There is typically some very simple bylaw that is not being applied. 1:16 clearly states this. I am in Vancouver, Canada. We have "tent cities" all over the city and surrounding municipalities. It was recently stated on our news that there is a bylaw that requires all tents to be broken down and removed ....DAILY! So "over-night" ....tenting ....is allowed .....I think in parks ....BUT THEY CANNOT REMAIN DURING THE DAY! So my question to OUR police is ......WHY AREN'T YOU DOING YOUR JOBS???? These police in Vancouver are now being paid $122,000 annually ......they JUST GOT A RAISE .....and then they've got benefits, perks, pensions, and pension benefits.
And somehow, ONE tent becomes 30 or 50 tents .......and a whole pile of junk littered all around every tent!!! WHERE do these "homeless" people get all this stuff ......AND transport it to their tents????
Lets face and come to agreement ....the PRIMARY PROBLEM IS DRUGS. It is in Vancouver, Canada, .....and every single city and town and truck stop across the entire country.
SO WHY DON'T WE STOP THE DRUGS ENTERING THE COUNTRIES .....CANADA AND THE U.S.????
WHY NOT SPEND A COUPLE BILLION DOLLARS AND SHUT DOWN ALL ILLEGAL DRUG IMPORTATION??? This cost would probably pale in the costs drug addicts impose on ALL the support systems in both countries ....policing, medical services, funeral services. WORK WITH THE COUNTRIES THAT EXPORT DRUGS!!! If we don't, it is just going to get worse.

Thank you for reporting...
I am homeless...
I am heading over there today with my rv and 7 friends
Go to the police department with a friend to film you. Watch how quickly they will force you to leave the public property by them. They ignore this next to people's homes and businesses. However, they do not ignore if it bothers their personal lives. As an alternative, park your RV outside councilman Katy's house. Again, film it and post on TH-cam how quickly you will be forced to leave or given a ticket.
Don't listen to the jerk above, stay safe, you are not alone, and don't be afraid to ask for help and move if you're able to. Relocation was my start over to a new life, out of state though since I couldn't take it anymore. I wasn't even homeless and could barely pay my bills in the most low-income apartments.

If we can direct the majority of homeless people from downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco to the wealthy exclusive areas, then I think real change will occur because once it actually affects them, they do push for a change in administration.
Just my opinion.
While I understand your line of thinking, and agree that the wealthy have the power and influence to affect change, we have to also remember that these are human beings, many of whom had childhoods that were traumatize the heck out of most of us.
People don't develop mental illnesses and personality disorders in a vacuum, it's early childhood neglect, abuse, deprivation and trauma that causes those disorders, which is why they're known as developmental disorders.
Many (not all) of these people are emotionally younger than 5 years old living in adult bodies and engaging in very adult activities while behaving like young children.

MAYOR BASS "SMILEY" SAID EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE WHERE THEY WANT TO, SO NOW
YOU HAVE THEM. ENJOY YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR. IT'S A SANCTUARY CITY RIGHT?
Man.. good thing LA county is a sanctuary city. Beverly hills being smack dab in middle of LA County would lead me to believe Beverly hills should show the compassion they claimed to have for those in need when they touted themselves as a "sanctuary county". It's always the appearance of being compassionate with these dems....
Compassion exhaustion. For every 1 person that cares there is 10,000 needy hands and hungry mouths. Dont believe? Look at the stats. Look at the bottom billion. 8 billion people in this world. We are the top 100 million.
So for 100,000,000 people living the american dream , whil 8,000,000,000.. people in the world. Let me break down to smaller number 1 out 80 people have american dream.
The bottom billion people.. live off less than 1$ per day.
Some places work 14 hours a day digging for gold dust so they can get 1 or 2$... And then buy a loaf of bread.
Then live in their rent free hut, drink ground water, sleep in dirty clothes or donated clothes we export over seas.
A whole village of desperate poor people that make you feel like a billionaire if you have 20$ in your pocket.
Then there is the phillipine kids community that live in the slums. A whole slum village. Eating from dumpster and landfill filtered food. No rent. No school. Dumpster clothes, dumpster food, dumpster shelter. They grow up from childhood to adulthood. The idea of a mcdonald cheese burger is like heaven to them. Their play ground is the dumpster. Of course.. the mothers scrap metal and tins.. for couple dollars a day.. but they also have like 12 to 15 kids.. in the dumpster area. Some from rape or lack of condom and some because they know half the kids wont survive or die of some random stuff.
American history used to be a bit more like that. Before we had vaccines for chicken pox, etc.. people use to have more kids in the farms and had farm workers toil the land. Life gotten way easier with technological advances. In fact most people have the whole internet in thier hands. Knowledge at the tips of the finger tips. But life is really hard for alot of folks. Accepting this situation. The burden of life. So what i am saying is.. nothing changed but it got easier for us to create or destroy. Imagine.. being a farm boy back in the day of the west. You grow up in some farm. Its dark. Candle lit. Your father just tells you what you need to do. Toil the land. Cook. Kill animal. Have wife. Kids. And repeat over and over. Super boring. Some folks opt out. Life is super boring. But super easy. Hard on the body but easy. Just wake up. Toil land. Live. Now its different. We dont farm and its less harder on the body. But we still got use our mind more. Since we got construction vehicles, tools, power tools, internet, computers. Whatever. Anyway.. this world has to move forward and we are going to have growing pains. Just like how kids have growing pains going to school. Its a drag , mom!! To go to school!!! Lol 😂 ahh growing pains.. only if we could remain babies forever.
And what do the conservatives do?

It doesn't just happen there. I happens everywhere. I live in a state that has a Republican super majority and we have homeless camps. And while we have really short and mild winters, we don't have the year-round nice weather they have in southern CA. One camp was just off of a highway and a major road and I went by it every day going to work and coming home. The piles of trash was insane and it got worse and worse as it went. A couple of weeks ago, they were finally ran off and it was all cleaned up. before that, they were on the north side of the highway, kind of hidden away until the camp got out of hand and they started burning tires. They moved to the south side after getting ran off from the north side. I'm sure they will pop up somewhere nearby soon.
@@DaveCM That sounds like Austin, TX. Isn't it great smelling piss, finding needles, being harrassed, and having people drugged-up and passed out five feet from your door in the middle of the day? Yeah, God bless those wonderful, hard-working, compassionate homeless people. They just give and give.

@@christinajackson3461 😂
I don’t like the term homeless. Some people are just down on their luck, and they may have to live in their car for months at a time, or stay with friends or family till they get back on their feet. So they are temporarily without a home. But these encampments are mostly made up of people with mental health issues, such as veterans with PTSD. This is permanent. Someone down on their luck doesn’t defecate in their pants. Those with mental health issues need help. If they could vote you’d see how fast they’d be helped.
What's shocking is the lack of concerns for these people from the residents of BH.
RICH people give not one daym about the poor. America should be ashamed of itself!
That's more shocking than people not caring about themselves, getting on drugs, deciding the streets are their new home, and literally threatening anyone who crosses their path? Nah. What's sad is all of the free things they get and it's still never enough. Ban narcan.
Who cares, they are drug addicts who don't respect themselves. They don't deserve sympathy.

Ladies and gents, this is a representation of how we vote and folks we get in the office and little that is done to actually solve the problem.
Caruso was absolutely right. It takes $600k to $800k to build an affordable housing unit to house a homeless person.

"They are not homeless, they are unhoused...and these people are part of a vibrant sidewalk community that employs thousands." -Progressive Advocate on the Way to the Bank
Homelessness is a self-perpetuating industry.
Los Angeles has allocated a significant amount of money towards addressing homelessness. In July 2021, the city approved a budget of $1.3 billion for homelessness-related programs and services for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. This represents a substantial increase from the previous year's budget of $994 million.

According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, African Americans make up about 40% of the homeless population, while only representing 13% of the general population.

Also, according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 11% of the adult homeless population are veterans.

Well, Beverly Hills residents are solid supporters of the governments which have created this problem, so all I can do is congratulate them on the results of their political decisions.
It's like you're so young, you've completely forgotten it was Ronnie Reagan who, with one swipe of his pen, cut all the funding for mental health institutions across the US and cause, almost overnight, the first homeless population since Hoovervilles sprang up in the depression. That was back in the early 80s that happened, and he kept them that way for two terms, and his former VP Bush Sr. upheld that for another 4 years for a total of 12 years of no maintenance or upkeep on them.
Now, I'm guessing you know what happens to buildings that are left empty for several years. They became unfit for workers, much less to house mentally ill individuals. By the time 1993 rolled around, and we were in a full-blown recession, there was no money to make the massive repairs from lack of upkeep over the last decade.
When I lived in Manhattan in 1990, these now homeless individuals were freezing to death sleeping on the metal grates on the streets because the homeless shelters were so violent and dangerous. The city was giving people 2 options: a one-way Greyhound bus ticket back to a family member or, if no family member would allow them home, they had to go to the west coast so at least they wouldn't freeze to death on the street overnight. Those were brutal winters back then, not like the mld NYC winters of recent.
You need to direct your anger at the empathy-deficient narcissists who created this problem Ronnie Reagan and George Bush, Sr. Go rage at their graves. They started this nightmare that, by the time anyone could try and change it, was going to cost the US a fortune in the middle of a huge economic recession. This was a nationwide closure of mental health facilities, too.
Almost overnight, I learned as a child what homelessness was. I had never seen more than a handfull of homeless vagrants in my city prior to that nationwide closure of mental institutions.
Now, in 2023, the problem is so massive...but it did not start recently.
Heck, when I moved to Hermosa Beach in 1997, the police would load up any homeless individual and drive them down to skid row. Guess what, I was there law weekend and there are still no homeless encampments, so they've kept on doing this.
You need to learn some history.
as a chicagoan this is so strange, you will only see a tent under a bridge somewhere, never in the open or in high income areas
It's nice weather here n tents sprout out anywhere n everywhere like the weeds they smoke.
@@axiathunder9128 LOL The weather is not always nice here, hence homeless people build tents.
Are you daft? In a Chicago winter they will FREEZE to death, and die in the sweltering heat and humidity of your miserable summers.
Heck, most of us can't even conceive of surviving in an apartment there the weather is so miserable.
And in Chicago, there are agencies that are actually helping people get off of the street.
That was one good thing the plague did for Illinois. Money was set aside for rapid rehousing.
And love it or hate it, Chicago is finally using some of those vacant buildings to house people.
If more cities took that money, rehab'd those warehouses, schools that shut down and so on, we could end homelessness in about a year.
But nope. They would just rather give them choke sandwiches and a "blessing bag" of mini toothpaste and bars of soap. Pocket the rest of the money for themselves.

When I moved to Hermosa Beach in '97, they police were picking up homeless individuals and driving them to skid row. This has been a problem for a long, long time.
Oh, and I was back in Hermosa, Manhattan, and Redondo beaches just last week and there are STILL no homeless people, just like the decade I lived there, and that tells me nothing has changed, and it's only compiled the problem for 25+ years now.

It's disgusting to offer people housing if you're not going to give them any housing
Thats what liberals call compassion.
Why do they need free housing? There are many news segments where they are offered a free room (privacy, access to a shower and a kitchen) and they say "That's too small." I am so tired of them. I've had drug-addict neighbors threaten me so I am tired of hearing it. Contribute or go live in the woods. Not on the corner, IN the woods. And stay there.
@@christinajackson3461 no no dont send them to the woods where i live. If you vote democrat then you invited them into your life , if you dont vote democrat then you are welcome out here in the woods.
Large cities are not safe and never will be unless something big happens to change that. All you can do is get away from it.
Nothing is free in this world. Someone's paying for it somehow.
Once you become homeless, its next to impossible to get out of that. In Philadelphia, if you go in some shelters, staff actually steal from the homeless can constantly talk down to them. Its unbelievable.
It is absolutely true. Once you become homeless, it is almost impossible to get out of it, unless you are very fortunate and have a find a high-paying job.
That sucks.
And I know personally what you're saying.
I thought Chicago's rough. Nah. Nothing compared to Philly. I see people filming by that train station on Lexington and Allegheny(I think that's the spot) and it's a hot mess 24/7!
@@janeentumbao8690 Kensington. Really bad in that area, nothing but despair there. I'm just finding out its banned or somewhat illegal to feed homeless, people are getting fined if caught.

Thanks for the correction. I knew it had some British sounding name! 😁
And I think there should be limits on feeding them, but never a ban.
You don't want them starving, but you don't want them hanging out all day either.
It's criminal to be homeless.
So, the person who's homeless is a criminal and is trespassing which is a crime.
So, the action required is jail, right?
Who's the governer? Sack him.
Now that it's affecting rich people with connections you'll finally see something get done that's the California motto
California deserves all of this and more.
No California doesn't deserve this. No one deserves this.
