hell yeah , that first one with the solar panels i dont truly call homeless, that a whole individual built homestead right there 0:08 we saw that in his other vid where he featured Hawaii's poor and homeless, but honestly that looks like a cool tiki hut style home.
I am houseless by choice in Washington State and certainly glad I have kept my fort skills and Swiss Family Robinson childlike imagination. However, I also own the property on which I squat, pay my taxes, have garbage service and go out of my way to avoid annoying anyone or creating an eyesore. No AVs on my property, they all run, even the shuttle bus that is my solarium/kitchen.
ngl you have balls going into those places, as someone that was homeless for almost 2 years I can tell you some of these people are dangerous af psychotic
I live in a bigger city and a doctor and his wife bought a huge piece of land. Their idea was to build tiny homes on it for the homeless. They would rotate others through as folks moved. The city stopped all plans because they couldn’t get enough tax money off of it. They put roadblocks at every turn. The doctor finally gave up and is selling the land. Now we are back to encampments that look like this. It’s a shame!
The problem with showing these things online is that the authorities will eventually see them, bulldoze the area, destroy the people's homes and possessions and leave them in a worse position.
I really hope someone called the authorities for that poor little guy. God knows how long he's been there by himself. The poor thing probably needs food and water
I'd wish someone would interview me. I'm a homeless senior citizen, and yes, I live in a shelter. I would love to find a studio apartment that I can afford to rent.
The last thing you want is a homeless hating, brainwashed exploited like Nick to interview you. Maybe dress your best and you won't be accused of being a "bum on drugs".
Be careful. There was people probably there hiding and watching you. I appreciate your work, info that needs to be told but I think that was bordering danger.
The people living there are literally homesteading free of taxes. Being dirt poor forces people to survive they are doing better than the ones sleeping under a bridge or in a tent....... I fear one day rich people will want the land and the local government will kick them out.
100% this , but you get 90% of people here saying "contribute to muh society",or " muh capitalisim" mean while society is scheming to replace your job with ai or a robot.
I support the homeless one hundred percent (as long as they are not on my property...). its vile what is being done to us. we are slaves just to survive month to month now most of us. im not homeless but im being ripped off in every way and barely make it
Only reason i dont support the homeless is the mess they leave behind. I was born in washington state and lived in oregon for 8 years they set up tents on the sidewalk. But i get fined for camping in a campsite in the middle of no were for not getting a permit. My grandpa always said "its one thing to be poor, its another thing to be a poor slob"
It’s so depressing how humanity and society are going backwards. So many great cities are now landfills and shops are closing and homeless are crapping on the sidewalk.
Well, stores refuse to be decent and let them use the restrooms, so what are they supposed to do? You can’t just stop all physiological bodily functions permanently. 🤷🏻♂️ The gov’t refuses to do anything, even though we all pay taxes, so I can’t really fault them for 💩 on the sidewalk. I’ve been homeless sleeping in my car and half the time businesses turn _me_ away from using their restrooms just because they perceive me as a homeless degenerate based on how I look, even though I have 2 bachelor’s degrees and a job.
Yeah nothing says backwards like build skyscrapers that destroy half a hectare of land just to make. Get real with yourself, humanity is declining because of its greed people much like you. You think living like this is unfavorable because you think like someone with money those that don’t understand what life is, and that’s survival. What’s so wrong with living a nomadic life to you, not all homeless just defecate on the streets.
😂Are you kidding? The government has pissed away billions of taxpayer dollars on this. Remember one thing, you can’t make people do right. You can’t make addicts stop doing drugs. 😂California gives them drugs now, there’s no hope.

@@Mike-tu7uw by giving money away we don't have to defend other countries borders, funding proxy wars, taking care of non us citizens. This drives inflation up and makes the dollar worth less.

Wow Nick! I can’t hardly believe I actually feel sorry for that pet pig 🐖! I sure hope someone is feeding him!! It’s unbelievable how bad America 🇺🇸 has become now! Thank you so much for all of your hard work to bring us this information!! Stay Safe Out There.💞
The pig is probably for a pig roast. Went to a Luau on Kuwaii, they roasted a pig in a hole then cover it with these large leaves to smoke the flavor, makes it tender. Some of the best pork that I've ever ate. It's probably a native encampment.

I talk to homeless in Hawaii daily. They’re out during the day. There are many reasons why: They might have a job, but it’s also prime time to collect cans, beg, or sell drugs. It’s when they can eat or shop. It’s hot and they like to find shade. This group sounds like they work well together, but they often steal from one another.

The pig in the enclosure is one of the ways these Hawaiians are creating fertile land, using the pig's feces to fertilize the very pen where it lives. After a period, the walls are taken down, erected somewhere near; this way, in time you cam create fertile land to plant fruit trees and other Hawaiian ffod trees to provide organic food for themselves. The smell of these pig pens, leftover food, fed to the piga, is their organic/natural way to create fertile ground to sustain them.
OMG... I thought something was going to jump out at any moment. Glad you left Mappy home. Sooo freaking eerie. That chicken doorbell is funny 😂. I am now worried for the poor pig 🐖. Sad to see what has happened. I have not been there since 90s.
I wonder where the dog was, when he first had a look. Even when he squeezed the door bell (dog toy?) the dog did not show nor did it bark. Then later he was lying there and also did not bark. Well trained by the owner not to bark?
The videos I've watched of Slab City were nothin like this place! Inside their homemade residents looked pretty normal to me... Nothin at all like this!
A flag upside down means a in distress doesn't mean you're not part of the country or America means that the countries in distress means Hawaii's in distress
🎉🎉🎉 WOW 😯 Nick ! What a very strange place. I truly appreciate how you take us to so many weird locations. This camp kind of looks like a place where people go to work in the daytime and come back to the basics of living in their shacks.

The smell of these pig pens, leftover food, fed to the piga, is their organic/natural way to create fertile ground to sustain them.
He said feed me and give me some water, pleaseeee 😢
They are hiding and watching you
Nick: Where’s the owner at?
Dog: Get out of here.
Or maybe Dog: Save me. Take me with you!
No new jobs exist; only crummy ones. Off to the homeless camps we go. 5-10 to an apt, if the lease allows it.
They call it ‘co-living’ in L.A. because it sounds trendy 😏
@@flanagamer - yes, along with these new, so-called `tiny homes.`
they will have everyone living in cardboard boxes soon, "pods". I'm trying to get a subsidized senior apt so I'm not homeless.
@@peeppeeping1389 - good for you; good luck.
5-10 people is illegal Code violation yet no one enforces that..
When the Hills Have Eyes meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Poor pig. Hope someone is giving it food & water.
@TaterTots380 The pig's okay. It's being fattened for a hangi (luau feast). They won't let it starve, you can be assured of that!

I think it’s more likely they intend to sell it to someone else who will imu it.
OMG... I thought something was going to jump out at any moment. Glad you left Mappy home. Sooo freaking eerie. That chicken doorbell is funny 😂. I am now worried for the poor pig 🐖. Sad to see what has happened. I have not been there since 90s.
I tend to think the people living there are either at work, or hiding from you.
BAD DAYS ARE AHEAD …. Really bad days 😢
Our officials should actively be addressing these issues. America first
There's no snakes on Maui, however the centipedes can be gnarly!
The collection of stolen children's bikes is a nice touch
😢😮😊 Nick, the homeless village was pretty amazing. The soundest structures that you've shown us to date.
It was nuts Margaret 🥜
Thank you.
Looks Post Apocalyptic!!! Damn!!!
basically appropriate for the times lol
Just like a mad max movie. Which character do you choose to be?
The mad max one is already taken by me.
Not really. People just love junk.
These people aren’t homeless. They’re living in illegally-built homes on park land. The land belongs to the people, it squatters.
WHO really owns the land?
It belongs to the Kanaka maoli.
Yep. Our new shanty towns are starting
A+ video!
Gutsy to get such rugged footage in that homeless village, great footage!
AAAAAAAA
11:00 That's a nice set up! If you're going to be homeless. That's how you do it!!!!!!
I'm all for people buying cheap land and building a structure that works for them. Too many zoning codes contribute to homelessness.
They even had a nice front gate and front sitting porch
They use the table to make the gate that looked pretty cool
I wonder where the dog was, when he first had a look. Even when he squeezed the door bell (dog toy?) the dog did not show nor did it bark. Then later he was lying there and also did not bark. Well trained by the owner not to bark?
The one with the solar and water catchment was a winner.
He's walking in tall cotton. You might say the talk of the encampment.
@@brianmatthews4149 -could be from CONUS ( a transplant).
mad max life reality is around the corner
My Freind Stay Safe 🎉❤
You too will have to do what ever it takes to live 😢😢😢
Great video Nick!
Thanks for the video Nick 🇦🇺😊
I felt bad for the pig with no water and food! Dang
It's like a tropical Slab City 😱
Slab city actually appeared some what cared for compared to this.
The videos I've watched of Slab City were nothin like this place! Inside their homemade residents looked pretty normal to me... Nothin at all like this!
Have you been to Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and Rota Islands? You should visit those places too they're US territories.
Hey, Nick Johnson's commin' let's run for it! Lol.
That hut with the grass roof looks really nice.
Well they aren’t homeless if they’ve built homes
I always enjoy your videos. This here is a very sad situation. 😢❤
Hi Joan!
Bz right now but can’t wait to watch!! Love your vids Nick!!!
Ok!
If this area is safe to retire, I'll do it.
What do you mean by safe??? Crime rate is relatively low for an area with sparse police presence so i hear.
@@cochisenahuh7939homeless junkies generally dont call the cops on each other
I was in Hilo last night, Bayfront and watched the homeless bed down on the sidewalks in front of closed businesses.
A flag upside down means a in distress doesn't mean you're not part of the country or America means that the countries in distress means Hawaii's in distress
This is how favelas started in Brazil. Instead of homeless people, they were ex-slaves.
กระต๊อบที่มุงด้วยหญ้า เหมือนประเทศไทยและประเทศเพื่อนบ้านสมัยก่อนเลย
🎉🎉🎉 WOW 😯 Nick !
What a very strange place. I truly appreciate how you take us to so many weird locations. This camp kind of looks like a place where people go to work in the daytime and come back to the basics of living in their shacks. Can’t knock them for trying to make the best out of what they have 😢.
I really wish that you could have found some people to talk to.
Better luck next time. Until then I’ll see you on your next video.
Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos
