- The Department of Disability admits that if errors were made the work will have to be redone, with taxpayers paying again. David Goldstein reports.
Love how the 1st lady was saying it was abusing the tax payer money but had no problem taking the tax payers money by winning a huge lawsuit...why not instead say how about you fix these problems by such date or we will sue...bet the city would of done it but no you gotta sue 1st how about all those disabled people donate the money to a certified company to help fix all the problems they say there is and most of what they say is wrong isn't even places they probably ever visit...they just want to sue without ever giving a huge city to try to fix the problem 1st and then the city has less money instead has to pay you and focus on your one problem then multiple problems they face...
and i bet she's gonna get mad when she sees her taxes go up because of the law suit.
Haha I was about to type the same thing when I heard her say that.
M F hey jackass I'm sure the city was well warned that they would be getting sued. How about you fucking Sheeple stop voting your democrats in office and see if things don't change. Got no pity on repeat offenders! Lol!
Fontaine King Yeah things would change. The republicans would privatize the sidewalks and the parks so the guy would have to pay to use the sidewalk then pay to use the park.
TruthHurts TRUMP 2020
We don't need city crews. Hire private contractors and make them pay for mistakes and let them worry about waste and fraud.
but what about the unions........ (sarcasm off)
Lmao you must work for a private contractor
@@kule510 i don't work in this industry at all.
Then don't speak on things you know nothing about.
@@FEnixPS1studios do you even understand the word nothing?
Shouldn't the contractor be paying for this?
City workers
The real problem is at city hall.
Bunch of crooks!😼
How do you become a Certified Disability Specialist? Is that a four year program?
You have to break every bone in your body to be certified.
It's disturbing me to find out that I'm not doing my job
I don’t want to pay for disability access!
Wtf he need to go to the park for
3:50 *shakes head no* "absolutely"
Tom Ives lie to me
in poker we call that a micro-tell
I do construction for LA through a company I work for in Azusa we at all costs make sure everything is up to code and idk how these dumbasses messed it up when they’re using a smart level which gives you exact levels on the dot
I work for 1 of the biggest construction companies in Massachusetts and the 1 access is completely ignorant and unacceptable... but 2% pitch over a span of 12 feet is unnoticeable....look laws are laws but what some of these inspectors enforce is ridiculous....it’s funny when we work in the “hood” nobody checks anything literally they check nothing
around the same time they re did all the ramps and street openings in downey. they left them worse than how they were so guess what? 2 months later they tore them up and did them again. and we payed for it again.
The lady talking about abuse of tax payer money.... Sues the state.....
“Union workers”
Civil servant union workers not private sector
City by-law or building inspectors never check the work of their employees. This was a make work project.
These crooks getting rich of taxpayers money! Unreal!
He's got the level in the dang gutter
FOIA requests for the contracts would have improved this report.
EVERYbody in leadership positions in the City of Los Angeles say they had no idea fraud and abuse was occurring. They not only knew but benefitted from it.
Illegals and workers Making $10 an hour running these jobs fuck that. UNION ONLY!!
That is just in La check out Chicago the disabled in Chicago and in the suburbs in between have it hard they have to cross the street and cars do not stop for them and they are getting hit and just left my mother was hit twice she can't feel it on her legs but they broke her legs and kept on going she didn't realize it till she got home a couple days later her leg was swelling up she said oh car bumped me he didn't even stop he just kept on going this is how dangerous it is she has to cross the street in the middle to get over to the McDonald's near her house
its illegal to fly over moving cars with a drone unless you have a waiver, you don't have a waiver to do so
He said Billions? That’s allot of money
It amazes me that they got up and down it fine it’s flat enough
That department head doesn’t give a shit because he will be getting backhanders from the contractors
Scam city
The city would have to put sidewalks in the park just so they can make ramps. If there is no sidewalk there should be no ramps needed.
That's because they pay for the cheapest labor they can get to do the job.
The contractor should be paying for not to taxpayer if the city worker did a job and it's not done correctly they should be doing it until they get it done in the correct way they're getting paid to do a job and they did it wrong they should be they should be paying for their mistake not the taxpayer
At that point the city and the people responsible of overseeing these projects including the union of the workers that were doing these projects should be the ones coming out of pocket to fix these and not taxpayers considering we pay for it already. Honestly that's the problem they do this shit on purpose knowing they can get another check from taxpayers.
Ur wheel chair should have reflectors for safe crossing
Somebody said “who cares”. Management should be held accountable.
Hire outside firms to do the Construction, Project management as well as the required inspections. The private firms have errors and omission insurance to cover mistakes. Have the private firms use drones to check the required percentages for Ada ramps.>
They have to spend that taxpayer money somehow. Bad enough they had a dozen guys working on one sidewalk ramp but then to do it wrong?????? Maybe they can send the guys back again on overtime this time.....that should get rid of those pesky taxpayer dollars....
So is the city going to refund us for their mess up they did to begin with???
The thing is that tax payers pay for them
When the private sector screws up they have to fix it themselves. They don't go back to their client and say we screwed up now pay me again. Criminals
Call em what they really are. SKATEBOARDING DETERRENTS
Hey that one guy doing the work while 3-4 other guys are watching, he can only do so much.
"it's abusing taxpayer money" sues the taxpayers...
Making the city pay for all of your silly upgrades is ridiculous. One and 100,000 people has a disability. I should be out one person be so lucky to have is very own sidewalk made just for him. That’s ridiculous
Instead of trying to landscape the entire planet for these people why cant we make more capable wheel chairs?
And how is Eng Dude an idiot??....but he does have a good point...make the wheel chairs more capable of the current terrain
I think it depends on the prices and what there budget allows. Most of them are on disability so they only receive so much. Also not a bad question.
Eng Dude These people? Really.
Eng Dude That’s not the point if you were in a wheelchair you’d be bullshit when you go to use 1 ramp, cross the road and the other ramp isn’t there
Peter Causon Current terrains??? Ya 1 handicap ramp isn’t acceptable...how would you like it if that was your mother or grandmother using a ramp, crossing the road and realizing the other ramp isn’t there...read my original comment on this story
If the work was done incorrectly wouldn't that be on the contractor to come back and fix it the right way on their dime not the tax payer's??
The contactor's should do the job over again at their cost and also be automatically disqualified from all future bids. Outrageous!!!!!
Katherine Elaine When I worked in the concrete business from 2008-12 it was so bad that these mistakes are just a mere fraction of what actually goes on with these ada ramps. Inspectors were rarely present if at all. Engineers design ramps on plans that are non compliant and say just put them in anyway. A lot of contractors bidding public work makes for a slim profit margin as is. What a shit show it was. All I’m going to say is it all looks good on the surface so that’s all that matters.
Funneling money to the unions takes priority over helping the disabled. If they have to tear out the work and do it over, that's more money for the unions, and more union campaign contributions to the politicians.
Did TheCity Do the Shotty Work ThemSelves...
Or Did they Hire Sub-Contractors to Do the Work?
If Sub-Contractors Were Hired, They Need to Do the Repairs at Their CompanyCost...for Messing it Up to Begin With.
I bet theirs nothing wrong with his paycheck
maybe create a city for just disabled?
Boeing got in trouble for policing its own too..
the street i live on was worked on by the city to install wheel chair ramps on the curbs, but the idiots totally messed up the driveway for cars in between and made them dangerously uneven. a fucking 4 inch height difference between slabs. and guess what, back at it the next month to fix the problem using our damn tax money. kids with play-doh sets can make better drive ways than city workers.
This is such crybaby wastefulness.
That's L.A. corruption!
she just want money
Seems like a lot of work amd tax payers money for a very small minority of folks.
Northridge city
I’m sorry but this is a terrible use of tax money. Correctly or incorrectly it does not matter. We can’t make exceptions for the few that cost fortunes.
Every path in a park doesn't need to be covered in concrete! it's no longer a park...
You could give them the yacht the city bought. Let em float around instead.
Do better!
City workers, what do you expect. That's job security.
Steven David Simon..... He's got to be IMPORTANT using all 3 Names...🤔🤔🤔
Out here in Las Vegas there's light poles and telephone poles in the middle of the sidewalk so there's whole sections of Street mile-long where you cannot be on the sidewalk if you have a stroller wheelchair a walker you literally have to go and be in the street with traffic
Can anybody say "one inch rise in one foot of run" ... a 1 in 12 pitch ... ramps are expensive, no excuse for the contractor to not see this and fix it before the concrete arrived ... more load on the insurance pool ...
It was amazing that he could four wheel into the park, what a sacrifice.
People pay your taxes on time so city, state and feds can waste it on time including generous pension
That’s sad 😞, we’re all in this together
I agree, all sidewalks should have some form of access for a wheelchair to get on, however I don’t agree with the guy going to the park, he expects us to spend thousands of dollars to have a path just for him so he has a straight ride to the park. What about the next person the street up, are we going to build a path for them too? No he wants a direct path then it should be out of his own pocket. Currently he has access to the park, it may not be the route he wants to go but there is a route.
Daniel Rigg all the sidewalks have to have a ramp everywhere they meet a street.
Franky Flowers Indeed they do. But his street conjoins to the side of the park. Not the corners where the sidewalk begins
Daniel Rigg it's a marked crosswalk. Just remove it and make a normal curb
Your stupid. It's a $10 concrete slab to pour. Regulations.
Do you know how much Cali spends on other things? Given the mans situation, I don’t think what he’s asking is a lot. Maybe not try to be a inconsiderate jackass.
I agree with the disabled thing. But when they are working in the vid, they are just listening to the architect. You gotta understand there's a bump beacuse it has to drain water. It's to let the water flow in the drains.
I think that is just wrong. As a contractor if I screw up I don’t get charged a customer twice for my mistake.
The only way to fix this issue is to ensure that when they finish a job it is check and if it is done right, they are paid. Otherwise do it again on their dime.
Otherwise the city should just hire external contractors as they can be held liable for shoddy work and won’t charge the city twice.
Good for David Goldstein for this story.
If anyone objects imagine going to a restaurant and ordering a meal, it comes and is horrible so they make you another meal, second one is much better. Then you get a bill for two meals. Would you pay that?
.... first world problems.
If this was not such a waste of money it would be hysterical.
Building a ramp on one side of the street but not the other side.
You guys voted for these folks ?
If you don’t like it then he should do it. Oh wait I I’m pretty sure he doesn’t ever know how to lay concrete
(a) abusing taxpayer money
OR
(b) government budget has taken a hit ( $10 loaf of bread)
Low educated workers doing high paying jobs... This is what you get...
It's the 21st century. Instead of fixing the sidewalks, the city should just buy them VR so they pretend they are walking to the park.
Nuke So you think that it’s ok that I can’t get outside? And not going out with my kids?
Nuke plug the cripples into the matrix.
Nuke just get a treadmill, fan and headphones and you already have vr for the blind ones.
Wtf
Like us Mexicans say they did a “mickey mouse” job haha oh LA
Everyone wants to win super lotto...this was Mr. Goldstein's worst show eva.....sue sue sue whine whine whine
HILLARY 4 PRISON
This is a bit much that lady the first lady's a joke to begin with
We should not be catering to those in wheelchairs
I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR PPL IN A WHEELCHAIRS !! I WAS IN 1 FOR 1 WEEK & IT WAS PURE HELL
They're not spending billions
Meh...good enough for government work
Your nit a quadriplegic if you can use your upper extremities
Find a new job old man your pushing it lol cbs get a life
Being a civil engineer for a city and reading these comments lol...people don't know how things work
more liberal policies that do not do anything
TRUMP 2020
California is the laughing stock of the country!
Governments and corrupt unions are not the solution, they are the problem.
Here’s a wonderful idea, I am not handicapped, most everyone I know are not either.. STOP making all of us pay for making a city accessible to you!!!
Do you not realize that the handicapped are tax payers as well? They should have the same access to public places as the rest of us.
John Bunn THERE NOT. THE GOVERMENT GUVES THEM MOENY.
but they (the government) spend a great amount more on the handicapped than the handicapped pay in to the government, meaning they are draining/leaching the economy
@@jam3z013 YEAH THEM ARE ALL LEECHES AND MOST ARE DEMOCRATS TO
the guy in the wheelchair makes a perfect point, they should put big ugly concrete paths around the park, spending money and time whilst making the park look a lot worse for the few percent that it slightly helps, because i mean taking your government paid for electric wheelchair over a little grass is just unacceptable
