- Los Angeles is in rapid decline due to street conditions and online sales, I’m walking Broadway Street from 3rd to 12th streets, in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles , what once was the city's main commercial street and is the location of the Broadway Theater and Commercial District, it used to have twelve movie palaces located along a six-block stretch of Broadway, and now it’s reduced to one.
Los Angeles,often referred to by its initials L.A., is the Second most populous city in the United States, behind only New York City it is also the commercial, center of Southern California, and I know that LA it’s not only one street but I have to start somewhere and to avoid making a three hour video. I will divide it into many videos for you to enjoy and experience Los Angeles like you have never seen it before.

That’s funny. I just did a drive from Bend, Oregon to Los Angeles county. Nice drive , I wish I would’ve had more time.
@pamelas1002 thank you, Portland Oregon is next on the list , I can’t wait to get out there!
@@LeoMetalTravelerI like your vids & have shared them with my brother. Coincidentally, I just finished writing him about this vid: “Just watched another vid documenting the ghost town effect of abandoned commercial properties. This one was Downtown LA. Unbelievable! There’s such blight! Though a lot of properties have For Lease signage, they’re never going to be leased again amidst the graffitied squalor all around the boarded-up properties. Retail, restaurants, theaters, office space….its all gone for good. The inner cities have become wastelands with all sorts of sketchy people wandering around. It’s truly shocking to see. I was very familiar with the Downtown LA area at day & night - it was thriving! Plenty of hustle and bustle, throngs of people shopping, dining, out on the town at entertainment venues. Now, it’s only sparsely populated with the sketchy & poor. Same goes for the other places I’ve seen documented by this particular videographer: San Fran, Oakland, Sacramento. Places I’ve personally known in their hay-day in the mid-‘70’s. It makes it all that much more surreal to me. All this has GOT to have a significant impact on the country’s overall economic health, because it’s multiplied throughout other major cities across the country. / It makes me wonder: these properties are gone for good; no one will ever want to lease them again; the inner cities will remain ghost towns until they’re turn down….but who would ever sink money into the demolition and for what purpose?! There’s zero ROI for doing so.”
Killed the Golden Goose. No more tax revenue, no jobs, no hope.
And they have spent BILLIONS on the homeless in LA and only gotten more of it with absolutely no accountability. Someone is making bank and it ain't the homeless.
Vote blue no matter who really works
BOY,YOU ARE SO RIGHT !!

Just over a year ago, I lived at 5th and Broadway, inside the Metropolitan Building, on the 4th floor apartments, above "Fallas". The Falla's store was still open, as well as the Rite Aid, on the corner. Many of those shops & theatres down Broadway, were still open. I'm shocked that the Burlington is still open. This really sucks for DTLA. I remember sleeping at night, awakened by terrifying screams from people running through the str

I like the way you think
Only dumb Leftists fall for this. Let's see if the idiots get smarter in November..
Well said
Gavin Newsome can't run for office again. Termed out!
politicians are selected by elites, they carry out the anti-human agenda. Blame yourself for trusting in any of them.
A city without stores is a dead city

“Gone Now”! Lol 🤣
We are basically looking at MILLIONS of dollars of lost tax revenue to the city. Whoever runs this city is not doing a very good job.
The mayor a black woman. Just imagine. Coming from the most deepest invention of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
The Party
DEI and affirmative action candidates.
They keep getting voted in over and over so at some point you have to ask yourself are deserving this because they just dumb as dog sh*t.
Retail is dying all over the UK too, for example,
in the 1980s you couldn't even find an empty space anywhere in downtown LA
the last good decade!
Good ol crack days back then 😎
That was part of the problem , ño plans for the future. 😮😢
Wise up get a large parking lot for free parking . 🤠
Everything has its time nothing lasts forever
Built Back Better!
Gavin's work here is done, now on to the nation.
Yeah, ain't THAT the truth!
if you were "middle" class, or are "middle" class; you won't be for much longer; you kneel to Gavin, or git to the back of the new bus, and no welfare for you.......& don't talk too much.

Gavin is Nancy Pelosi's nephew. Crooked as they come. All for us and screw the American people.
@@george_richmanYou keep on being delusional, buddy. Never been better, yeah right.
What a breath of FRESH air - real journalism. Thank you sir. 🙏❤️
Seriously, what ever happened to that? I never see mass media journalists ever interview people in the street anymore, they dont even do real war reporting from say Ukraine or talk to anyone. Its just talking heads.
So how does the city survive if nobody is doing business there? The same is happening in NYC.
At some point people need to start considering if all this is intentional.
Really?😮
But why?
@@zoilarobledo8135 Divide and Conquer.
It is intentional!
It IS intentional!
Shortly before the Mayflower sailed from England to North America in 1620, Satan gave the anointing to England and its people to "Go up and take the land. I'm giving you the land. Fear not, for I am with you."
So they did, and eventually a mighty nation emerged from the original English settlements.
But sometime during the 1950s, Satan took the anointing away from the white people of Western Europe, and gave it to the African-Americans. And they have been working for roughly the last 70 years to tear down what the white people built, and replace it with a new nation of their own, dominated by non-white people, and with a new constitution, a new flag, a new currency, etc.
Its also to do with the insane rent prices. These owners want $15k a month for a dumpy tiny stall
A lot of that has to do with these places being rented out my large conglomerate corporation groups that are based overseas. Los Angeles to them is just some words on a piece of paper. They are not on the ground seeing this first hand.
Well now they get nothing and gotta find some other way to pay all that property tax and it ain't cheap 😂
cities are really bad at adapting to changed economic conditions. look at the rust belt and how long it took for places like Detroit or Cleveland to really hit bottom--several decades--and there's neighborhoods in Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh that are permanently wrecked... but back in the 1950s there was probably some landlord looking for top dollar for retail space that then went vacant for 70+ years. think of all the cost tied up in all that infrastructure that needs regular maintenance, etc...
typically US; crappy but costly!
Thank you, Leo. America - and the world - needs to see this.
Downtown LA was always gritty and dangerous, but I could cry at how it kept declining all my life.
I’m 77 yrs old and when I was young downtown was the place to go for shopping, lunch, movies, etc. It was beautiful! If my parents and aunts were still alive they would be stunned by what DTLA has become. 😢
You’re a brave man, Leo, for documenting all this. Stay safe.
Absolutely. Pretty soon, poor Leo going to need some armed guards and attack dogs to protect him from getting mugged by Democrats..
HE SHOULD DO A VIDEO, AND TITLE SHOULD BE, TOURISTS, DONT COME TO CALIFORNIA ITS CLOSED.
WVERYINE AND THEIR BROTHERS ARE FILMING THIS PLASTI G IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND SHOWING OUR ENEMIES!!! BRILLIANT 👏 👏 👏
Don't give him too much credit Brave my ass. I live in Los Angeles in downtown is not that dangerous. And Broadway stretches a long ways that area is just one small area in which Broadway crosses. Los Angeles is a big city with many different areas and plenty of businesses. Despite the High Cost of Living and high rent rate and housing California's economy is booming. And despite the red states criticism the United States needs California's economy. Which is more than I can say for most of the red states. God damn rednecks.
Thank you for showing me downtown LA . I had a store on 11th and Los Angeles street for 39 years when things were booming I can’t believe my eyes. I’m a senior citizen now and don’t get out anymore. Stay safe!
I am guessing, since that was the garment district, that your store was associated with that once important industry. I often shopped in The Alley and other outlets in the 80s when it was thriving. As Leo would say, "Gone now!"

PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD RENT FOR A SMALL BUSINESS ANYMORE!!! When rent is $5k to $10k per month and insurance/ etc !! How the hell can you keep the doors open? It's sad!!!

The Biden-Harris campaign launched a strategic initiative Wednesday to rally the LGBTQ+ community in support of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s reelection in 2024.
The current administration is the most pro-LGBTQ+ in history.
The new program, ”Out for Biden-Harris,” highlights the campaign’s focus on the LGBTQ+ community and acknowledges its pivotal role in previous electoral wins.
Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez discussed the crucial role of the LGBTQ+ community in electoral victory in an exclusive to The Advocate.
“LGBTQ+ voters are a force to be reckoned with. They were critical to our victory in 2020, and they will be critical to winning again this November. That’s why we’re thrilled to launch Out for Biden-Harris, which will harness the LGBTQ+ community’s organizing prowess to reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris this November,” Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.😮

outcome of self responsibility
Born and raised in Los Angeles. Spent 30 years of my life here and left in 2003! I worked LAPD and for the US Government in policing and I can tell you that LA and CA are a lost cause at this point. Communism has destroyed this once beautiful city and state. CA is one giant mental institution at this point. They never learn from their mistakes and will continue to vote for the same morons over and over again.
Sadly, I agree...
I doubt people are voting for this crap, they want us to think people voted for it sure. But did we really? C’mon most of the people don’t even vote period in Cali , I’m born and raised there too. We are just being lied to , and it’s the same with all elections IMO
CALIFORNIA IS A SQUATTERS/HOMELESS PARADISE!!! Sad but true!!
Agreed.
How could it be that in a city as rich as Los Angeles all of the businesses are closing? What is going on in California?
Newsom was like huh!!?? What?!? Small guys making money ?? Still?? Close them down immediately!!
😔

I started a new drinking game, you take a shot every time he says ( For Lease)! Thanks for the tour, Its sad to see what has happen to LA.
When I first came to Los Angeles in 1976 Broadway is where I landed! It was full of life people from all over the world everywhere! It makes me so very sad to see what has happened to Los Angeles!!
that was about the time that I landed in downtown LA...it kind a still have the aroma of glamour years at that time.
Those were the best of times. Used to take the #7 RTD bus downtown.
People did it. 😢
Good journalism. It’s about time I have seen real news.
Thank you! I will be posting more videos in the next few days.
America Beware!! If you don’t improve life and businesses within your cities, Metal Leo will be paying your city a visit saying: “It’s Closed Now!!…😂

Not,Not if you people not change your governor California will be to vanish
DEATH of a CITY.
You know your Trouble. When you get a visit from the GRIM REAPER Metal Leo. Another one FOR LEASEEEE, this one Closed, Good Luck wIth that........."CLOSED NOW"
All that lost revenue, services for citizens, and taxes for the city. They make excuses for criminals. Unbelievable.
Chamber of NO Commerce! Partytime is Over!!!! If we weren’t laughin’ we’d be cryin’!
they preferred the land/area emptied, so they wouldn’t have to burn it down like Maui 😳
So glad there is someone who travels and documents the continuing decay of West Coast cities. Otherwise we might not see it. The media certainly doesn't cover it.
And unfortunately, they won't.
Downtown LA has always been pretty messed up, but this is so much worse. I miss the 2010s when there was a lot to do and fun to hang out there.
The 70s Much better

Birth of communism
Death of capitalism does not mean the birth of communism.

WoW!! I use to live DTLA across the street from the Staples Center when it was really popping. It's looking crazy now!
Even Beverly Hills is Closed Now!
Plus Hollywood and Santa Monica!
This is what people vote for. The sad part is that they continue voting for the same politicians.
Once every business is closed down in California, then the druggies and the mentally ill will turn their attention to the gated communities to fund their enabled criminal lifestyle.
So...what politician is going to force owners to lower rent costs for businesses then?

Dude, it was never better. It’s the same. I’ve been living here most of my life downtown LA always been shit
My husband and I went to DTLA flower district on Valentines day and the main flower shop called flower Mart closed at noon! We were shocked. There were other places to buy flowers but the streets are filled with transient strung out people. We felt so unsafe. Their were homeless tents everywhere but the people were all gone. We had to leave almost as soon as we arrived. We never felt so unsafe! We have gone every year for past 7 years. All of Los Angeles has changed. Even the beach areas. Its a nightmare.
I haven't been home since 2000, how are the beach cities now? This video is heartbreaking
@@PhillipFelix-kw3zi Orange County is safer but I see videos about Venice beach and it is not safe after dark.
Does it hurt your brain to ask "why are there homeless here ?" Shops that once hired people are gone because YOU shop at Walmart and other chain stores that ran these businesses into bankruptcy. YOU go to chain restaurants and chain fast food place and buy Chinese goods. Your Trump has has a "made in China" label. Yes. Look for the label. The homeless people used to be your barber, your mechanic, your neighbor. Help them !
@@silencedogood7297 Careful, most homeless are criminals with prior arrests and drug addicts. Help is available from our state but they refuse the offer.
Heartbreaking. I mostly lived in LA from 1978-2001 (cumulatively 20 years). I was also in the taxi business during that time as a driver, dispatcher and lower management for big companies. I am intimately familiar with those streets you walked. There was a shift in the businesses on Broadway from old traditional to Latino, mostly Mexican. Even they are gone, as are the crowds of families and working people that used to clog the sidewalks, shopping and dining downtown. So sad to me...
@@mrxman581 sure...they just buying time.
Where do people buy or steal their food?
I live on 6th and Broadway. That building is being renovated, it's not boarded up because stores left. In fact they've already leased out all the spaces when the renovation is completed.
It's real sad seeing all this. My ex girlfriend at the time, her family had a business in DTLA and thriving, like all the other businesses there. It was actually safe, and fun walking around looking at the wholesale businesses at the same time. Now, I just can't believe what it's turned to. Thanks for taking the time to post this for all to see.
Blue voters and biden's administration are so Proud of this accomplishment 👏
His voters even more.
It could be "Paper Ballots" ???
Biden, time to open your little eyes, who closed down all the small businesses in America for over two years, yes your favorite hero, Trump. Trump did MAKE AMERICA THE GREAT DEPRESSION AGAIN, but the blind will blame it on the idiot Biden who is just continuing Trump's work of art, you should be ashamed of yourself for being that gullable.

"Should be called Chamber of No Commerce." Agreed. It is sad to see this all close down. A once thriving city slowly closing down, business by business.

In a state where every little potential harmful item is restricted or banned outright, i can't believe that spray paint is xtill legal. It causes more damage and destruction to the cities and environments than fires, smog, and littering combined.
I know a guy that bought a condo in DTLA and the building is only 50% occupied now - there is not enough HOA to cover maintenance like when the elevator breaks down etc. Times are a'changin'
should leave asap
Where is everyone walking to if everything is closed?
The few convenience stores?
Apartments above boarded up and closed shops?
Yes, there are lots of highrise apartments in DTLA, like above the boarded up Fallas store, which is the Metropolitan Building (@ corner of Broadway & 5th). I lived I inside the Metropolitan building's studio apartment, on the 4th floor, almost two years ago. You'll see lots of apartment dwellers walking their dogs or going to the corner stores or Farmer's Market. I never felt safe living there, especially during the predawn hours, being awakened by horrific screams & yelling from the streets below. Los Angeles is like living the movie "The Purge", daily...😐
