@@HandcraftedintheFoothills The government don't care about that they won't cheap labor anyway slave thirsty bastards.They don't even pay their border patrol agents enough enough anyway.So they easily get bribe with a offer of 10k etc to look there other way.Desperate wage slaves will do desperate things.You probably would accept a few illegals In here if you were offered 10k?
The USA 🇺🇸 needs to fix their own issues and it’s people inside their own country, before trying to fix outside issues and other nations! It looks like there is a lot of homeless in the nation. People in need. Very sad!
I'm from England and have just watched this shocking video . Is this the America that's spent 10 billion on a telescope just to look at things in space that no one will ever get to and don't mention driving a car on Mars , another complete waste of money . Absolutely awful , the government should be ashamed .
I'm from UK as well and I have seen homeless people living in tents in the cities, but we wont help them, the government gives the refugees homes and money, the will help the foreign people but not our own. It's sad very sad
@Sandy Candy The comment is correct ! The system is seriously flawed and no one in the USA should be living in a tent on the sidewalk !! It’s not about lack of heart , it’s time to look deeper into a corrupt and dysfunctional system that lets its people live in this way with very little help and no light at the end of the tunnel !
Correct. It should not be normalised. The problem has been ignored for decades and now it's become unbearable. Of course there are larger systemic problems within society that contribute greatly to this problem. But they shouldn't be allowed to live like this indefinitely tho.
The sad thing about your statement is that the some of the mentally disabled are being left to the wolves in some states and that's terrible and wrong on so many levels. Arm the homeless
And yet a few miles away in places like Laguna Niguel, people live luxuriously without a care in the world about these homeless. "Out of sight, out of mind."
This music is much better than what I've heard in most others. It's not an emotional ballad, it's just ambient music that makes the ride feel more real, in my opinion.
I believe these people that we see in all of this video those from the street tents and on standby or walking the alleys in the highways are those refugees who come to amerika through the borders last years abd to all of these months. They are foreign people coming from diff nations i South anerica.
This is a result of many ,many factors but I would say having no universal health care during a pandemic where thousands have lost their jobs might be a contributing factor. It's obviously going to get so much worse than this.
I was living in LA years ago during the recession and ended up a 6 month stint homeless living in a rent a car. Eventually saved up enough to get a place. The homeless problem in LA and other areas is really bad. Almost everyone I knew and met there confessed to being homeless at one time or another but we did at least have cars to sleep in. I imagine the situation being much worse doing that without a car. The make shift tents and boxes on the streets was a sad sight.
Also I recall at the time they had set up a "tent city" at the city center. So if you went there to do anything for permits, drivers license etc you had to deal with being barraged with homeless begging for money and cigarettes. It was astounding how many people were living like that. I guess they allow this there as there is no where else to put them. In other areas there are woods etc to hide them. Not in the city though.
You are one of the few examples of getting back on your feet 👍🏻 Sadly many homeless people have a disability, illness or addiction , very hard to get back to a normal life without any help .This citizens are forgotten by their government …
Yes many small businesses here closed especially restaurants. Yet the president says jobs are coming back and the economy is better since he took office. Well not here in Los Angeles county.
Cities officials and commissioners shoukd be held accountable for. However, citizens have lost theirs votes and voices. This its not new News, all administration shoukd be accountable for these massive lost of jobs and properties values.
They all closed because the illegals (and latinos in general) don't think shop lifting is wrong. In their culture its only embarrassing to be caught. No business can survive if no one pays.
I am a truck driver. I used to go to LA several times a week (no more) delivering food. All the places I used to be able to park overnight are now taken up by trailers, vans, cars, tents, etc. I no longer deliver to southern California. It's no longer safe for me to do so.
I can vouch being I lived there that it is indeed really bad. Anywhere a person can set up they will...I know there are a lot living where you can't see them like under bridges as well. And countless living in cars and vans just parked on the streets.
Yeah - if the people decided to choose to have aids or cancer I guess you could make the comparison but they don't. Deciding to not work anymore and live in a tent instead and live off the government and handouts from strangers isn't quite the same thing.
@@Matt-wf7ry not all of them did this to themselves, people in their indifference like to think this to feel superior, there are vets that fought for you and suffered. no excuse for this
This is just one place. It’s so bad here people starving to death little kids starving. But we send every country 1000000000. A month to live like kings. They are killing us here.
@DSUM i agree with you.. unfortunately no matter where you go everything is going to go through the roof.. everything is getting expensive even food.. people make a choice put a roof over your head or buy food..most people are going to get the food..more people are getting into RV s.. campers vans aneything that people can live in.. I'm in a camper my self.. it's not fit to live in it's better than a tent.. unfortunately it's not mine it belongs to the landlord.. he's been threatening to get rid of me.. without filing out any paperwork to get rid of me.. I've been paying him rent.. under the table.. he's not reporting it eather.. that's illegal i think
I understand some folks want to live this kind of existence but, my heart breaks for those who find themselves living this life through no fault of their own. Must be nearly impossible to break out of this situation. So sad 😢
Too many people focus on the obvious problems, such as addiction. Many people wouldn't have gone down the addiction pathway, if there were opportunity such as existed back in the 1980's and before...there were all kinds of industries, paying living wages... sardines, manufacturing (only China is allowed to pollute now) etc. Yet real estate prices and taxation is to the moon. Bureaucracy is the largest bubble that needs to go 💥 kaboom in the states.
I live in L.A. this is the downtown area. This area also have million dollar condominiums communities. Los Angeles is filled with the rich and famous. It’s one of the most expensive places to live in. I believe the homeless congregate in the downtown area because that’s where the homeless resources are located. It’s Sad that it’s happening all over the world. The average person is one paycheck from being homeless. A good percentage of these people were hard working citizens who fell on their luck…….it can happen to anyone.
L.A. resident, yes I agree. But this scenario is also true (as sad as it is) in a lot of the major cities in the world. Slums & homeless people surrounded by large buildings & affluent neighborhoods. Shows the great divide between the rich & the poor within the urban jungle. I think it's the reality of capitalism. So do we want socialism? Perhaps a hybrid of the two.
"don't do unto others as you won't others do unto you". Simple law of karma. Rendering others homeless in foreign countries by means of war, will come back to haunt you.
you are full of it, this great nation has had it's son's and daughters fight and die freeing and feeding so many around the earth. perhaps addictions and mental health issues have landed alot of these into this situation. Their Democratic Socialist representatives (Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, AOC, BERNIE Sanders, and Puppet Biden) got them exactly where they want them. This is DEMOCRAT AMERICA, if you dont love this country then carry yourself to where you believe is better. Also try helping donating and contributing to the solution not just the negative BS.

SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A SHOCKING VIDEO, I NEVER EXPECT TO SEE THE SO CALLED WEALTHIEST NATION ON EARTH HAS THIS MASSIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE SCATTERED AROUND LA.
While people increasingly live like this in the US, Room & Board is available in Nicaragua for $60 a month. A 2 bedroom house rents for $80 to $100 a month. The big show stopper is drugs are not tolerated, not even prescribed marijuana or opiates. But perfect for non users on Social Security. Average income in Nicaragua is $150 a month, yet it is the safest country in the Western Hemisphere.
@@karenlevine8076 77% of homeowners in Nicaragua own their homes outright. So they have no mortgages. Unlike the US they save to buy homes not get loans. Other countries throughout LatinAmerica have an even higher percentage of home ownership. In the US home ownership is 67.8% with 62.9% of them mortgaged, A huge difference in nearly all Latin Countries is tthe land itself is owned by families and never sold, And common for 3 generations of family or brothers and sisters to live together albiet separate houses or apartments. Seldom do people live alone. So tyoicaklly 3 or 4 of thise average $159 a month incomes.Some houses are nothing more than metak shacks, but they own it outright and make improvements when they have the money. The land being Spanish Land Grants. A typical 2 bdroom/1 bath house built of block and cement will cost $4500 to $6000 to build new. Plus a family of 4 can eat on $15 a week, In my case I rent a 7 bedroom/5 bath house with 4 car garage on 23 acres for $161 a month. The owner is a Costa Rican Pharmicist working in Switzerland the past 10 years. The 23 acres is a portion of an over 1100 acre family compound and farms, mostly growing coffee.Mortgages on homes is extremely rare.
@@karenlevine8076 First of all over 78% of Nicaraguans own their homes outright,. So no mortgage.. Also most have 3 generations of family and 4 to 5 workers in the household. Selsom does anyone live alone. You don't buy a home on credit., Sometimes a house is little more than a metal shack, but the improve and expand the house when they have the money. /block and cement homes eventually.
@@karenlevine8076 Yeah, definitely not survivable in other countries for people used to income from welfare and charities. I go to the US and no matter the city encounter beggars within a couple hours. In nearly 8 years in Central America, South America, the Caribbean and Europe, not once have I seen a beggar. They always will have something to sell or offer tto do work. nce a double amputee in a wheel chair was selling candy and jewelery he made. Not only did I buy some, but gave him $700 emptying my pockets except for 30 Cordobas (about $5). Two weeks later he had a small shop selling the same things but a very expanded stock. 6 months after that he also had a small resataurant. A prime location just across the street from Parque Central where I had met him. My dad was an amputee from events in WWII, so seeing this man still proud and making a living for himself decided to give him additional opportunity. One thing is they also have National Health Care and everything is provided. A littly project of mine has been providing cellphones for the blind here allowing them to see ahead using an application with proimity and laser sensors to covert the information to sound.
Holy shit. I'm so sorry, you poor people have to live this way. I never considered myself well off until now. I grew up with not a lot of money, no job, stole food to eat in Ak, New Zealand. Had a family, got married, worked hard, bought a house, semi retired now. It could all be taken away in a blink of an eye, like some of these poor people. I feel for you all, I'm not religious at all, but right now I want to pray so much, I wish my fellow brothers and sisters in our world, to Not go hungry, to Not feel the cold at night, to feel love, warmth and happiness, and to all have a better life. One huge hug to each of you. I'm deeply saddened.
When I was a kid growing up in the 1970's they kept telling us that one day a huge earthquake was going to happen and the state of California was going to crumble into the sea! What ever happened to that? I was so looking forward to that happening. Now we're stuck with this shit!
Because of filthy lobbiests who run congress. Same reason we can,t get assault weapons off the street. From Eisenhower to Ford we did not have this kind of problem.
I can't speak for America, but Australian foreign aid is always guaranteed to be spent on importing Australian products and on many occassions, from companies that have shareholders in Australian Government. So, in effect, all alleged Foreign Aid is simply a method of diverting public funds into shareholder's pockets. Nothing new here, move on.
Because they throw money back at the political elites to say “thanks”! And everybody thought when president trump wanted to take care of Americans he was being racists and selfish. No....he did t want this to happen. Billions went overseas and to worthless projects that we the people won’t be able to use. Sickening. We need president trump back...MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
@@JR-of5hp The problem is people like you, who think this problem is either Blue or Red. What a basic line of thought. The whole American system is falling before our eyes, no political party can save it.
This is pretty much due to Globalization that began in the 1990's and the outsourcing of many good job's in the U.S. I would also blame the use and abuse of legal drugs, and illegal street drugs.
Agreed that globalization and outsourcing of jobs is a problem. I would also add that LEGALLY immigrating millions upon millions of “the poorest of the poor”, who are illiterate in their own language from south of the US border, plays a large role in what is going on, as well.
It is NOT due to any of those things. It is the result of LAZINESS by the people who are homeless (I used to be one of them), and, it is the result of the community not doing enough to offer alternatives. If these people committed to getting off the streets and making their lives better, they could do it. Then the community could do it's part by providing more education, jobs and opportunities for everyone. Trust me, it CAN be done. There is plenty of blame to go around for this shit, but, it starts with the individual person who is homeless.
The US is not the only place this is happening, its all over the world. OK part of the reason is globalization. We have given our jobs to China and made them prosperous and shot our own foot. The other reason is lazyness and these people want to live like this. You take them, clean them and put them in a shelter. A few days later they disappear, they want their freedom and don't desire to work
This is America,when yr president spend trillions in Afghanistan for twenty years,US$300 millions yearly on media to discredit china should hv it we'll spend on the American. billionaire and millionaire pay very little tax,but contribute large amount to the democrats & republican.while the homeless are left dying on the streets.gbu.
@@ngfookkwai6096 Who cares about the homeless? They are nothing more than bottom feeders who leave shit and urine in abundance everywhere they go. They run down the environment with waste, filth, and CRIME! ALL governments are corrupt. It is the government's responsibility to take care of grown men and women. That is the individuals's responsibility. Most of the homeless DO NOT WANT ANY HELP!!! I was homeless before, and, many of the people I talked to REFUSED to seek help or assistance. Homelessness has NOTHING to do with outsourcing or globalization. There are plenty of jobs out there if a person looks and really wants one. They just REFUSE accept certain jobs that IMMIGRANTS WILL TAKE!
I grew up in Los Angeles in the 1980s and it has always been like this. In fact, this is a major improvement from the 80's / 90's. However, I now live in Virginia and I have seen some spots just like that because rent is out of control, housing is out of control and something needs to be done to rectify the situation that we face. They /we need to take abandoned buildings, malls, shopping centers, and turn them into efficiencies and allow people to work a vacant position or pay a minimal based on benefits / ability to pay for their shelter. But for the grace of God.. Be blessed all.🛐🙏
Wonderful idea. But the fact is the Powers That Be have always been this way. The only way to stop it is to Get Black Owned Everything. Stop spending money in their community. When was the last time you saw them spend Money In The Black Community? NEVER. And You Never Will. An occasional Black Sales Person in A Beauty Supply.Store. A TOKEN to Lure You In. Stop buying that fake Ass ugly hair. Do U A valuable lesson to learn. Just Do It
I would like to see if people with money take the money with them when they die. Death makes us all the same. WE are ONE in the eyes of CREATION, GOD , EXISTENCE the name you want to call it.
Mr. Jefferson, you were exactly correct about the consequences of having a central Bank; that we will end up paupers in our own land. We have done the experiment and here is the result. And the FED is sending $300B to China every year. Do you think $300B will fix LA's homeless problem ?

Homeless in California and billionaires living a few miles way. Welcome to the THIRD world economy! The billionaires want more of your stuff. The billionaires are SICK humans ,they made their billionaires by moving paper around.
Quite often it’s other people’s ‘ paper’. I know a man worth over a billion , and when dining out with family, he unscrewed the pepper grinder, removed the peppercorns, and pocketed them to use later. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Why don’t the billionaires show some compassion and use some of their wealth to help these poor souls into a more dignified situation. Build shelters for them and stop being so damn selfish. The city will show the rich some respect if they did.
@@arnolddavies6734 Try google and search how many billions of dollars they have donated on different organizations, charities and other philantropist works they have done instead of judging. You should be asking the local government officials (congressmen, governors, mayors) what are they doing with the funds allocated to them by the government because all the states and cities have been given substantial amount to provide programs, aids and other related causes that should be using for the welfare of the people.

I lived in San Diego and there is a growing homeless population as well there. One night I went out in the Downtown area of San Diego to buy some dinner. On my way to the car I noticed there was a few homeless people tenting it up a few feet away. I stepped on what I thought was mud but upon inspecting my shoe, I realized that it was human dung. A huge 1 foot long dung. Lets just say that ruined my night and my dinner. These people are pest and I wish they would get their life together or disappear completely. There is no reason to take a crap on a sidewalk. Respect pedestrians.
I've visited LA, there is dung and urine flowing for several city blocks on skid row. alot of people are mid crapping when you drive by , just in the middle of the road popping a deuce. 🤷🏾♀️😓
Please read this because there IS a problem when in America (land of the free) where it's the second largest, people are living in tents. Yes there is a huge problem.
The biggest thing I notice is they homeless tend to hoard worthless and unsanitary items. WTF do you need a broken shopping cart or half a bicycle for? Everybody thinks they're Fred Sanford and are going to have a second-hand sale or something.

90% of these people have drug and alcohol problems. They have created their own problems. There are jobs available but these people don’t want to work, they want a free ride. Life is about choices and they keep making bad ones. I never graduated high school but figured out how to get by.
Is that an actual statistic? It’s bad for the city as a whole for them to be there so everyone suffers bc they are there. If you watch invisible people you’ll learn that these people don’t all have addiction problems, some do, but most would love a chance at a normal life. I dunno what the solution is but there needs to be some kind of action to get these people off the streets.
You are right....These people chose to take drugs ....They chose to be lazy and not work....Now...They are dregs that the rest of society doesn't know what to do with
I lived in LA for decades. I have never seen the homeless situation this bad. Maybe it is the Covid recession, but this is ridiculous. We are the most prosperous nation in human history. We must do a better job of taking care of the unfortunate people.
No your not the most prosperous, that's only what Americans want to believe! You have no free health system which every other western country has, you have few house owners, and 15% of the population OWN everything! railways, supermarkets, power stations, phone networks, I watched Trump say they were the only country in the world where the railways were privately owned!!! and he was proud of it! Americans need to educate themselves because their government is hiding the facts from the population, after visiting the usa I was horrified at what I saw in Hollywood and Beverley Hills! Bums everywhere!!! it looked like a third world country! in Las Vegas the pedestrian overpases were lined both sides with Beggars!! on their smart phones??? I feel sorry for the naive majority that can't see the woods for the trees.
@@reefer2917 *most prosperous nation* USA has the highest GDP as a nation. It also has vast natural resources. *15% owning everything* Income inequality. USA has a problem with this as it has the highest income inequality among the industrialized nations. It is a big problem. However, the private ownership of the train is not an issue since we do not use it. And it is not true as AMTRAK is funded by the federal government. Private ownership is not a problem as long as there is competition and good service. Government works with the private companies to provide services to the non-profitable areas. *Healthcare* We do have a universal healthcare. However, due to the massive illegal immigration, the law makes it so that you have to register for it. You cannot simple get free care as other nations do. The real problem is the cost. We pay the highest cost for a mediocre healthcare. *Homelessness* We have a government program for everything including food, healthcare and housing. The drugs and mental illness prevents many people from taking advantage of it. For example, we had covid relief problem during the pandemic. Unfortunately, you had to sign up for it. There are other issues. High crime rate, drugs, massive illegal immigration, taxation, giant military spending and so on. Our problems runs deep.
They make you beleive you are the most prosperous nation in human history but you are NOT. Your goverments even made the twin towers fall in order to create a war. I am sorry but the truth is they cheat on you.
Having had care homes for the Mentally Ill for 20 years, I know a bit about of which I speak. From just watching the first 10 minutes, what I see is a sufficient number of vacant buildings to help address the need for housing. Convert the selected buildings into housing and within the structure provide services such as medical/mental health. How do we pay for this, by a more equitable and sensible tax structure, stopping foreign aid, especially to countries that don't need it. Many of these people are vets, many others of them didn't choose mental illness, it was a sorry fate, they didn't deserve it, they need help. Bust up the 1%, the parties over.
It is such a tragedy that people are seen almost as animals…. Each tent is someone’s daughter, son, father, mother, family or friend. Truly heartbreaking no matter what the cause.
US Govt should spend their time and effort into looking to improve the welfare and well-being of their middle and lower income population instead of wasting their time and effort in smearing China Govt on human rights. US Govt only focus and care for the rich and wealthy Americans living in Wall Streets
Don’t you get it? Our Democratic administration does not want a middle class. They want us all to be with nothing. It’s easier to control the masses. It’s easier to keep it all for themselves.

Omg, yes Americans are hurting here at home! I know their must be talented people homeless that can build homes. As lady Liberty says, give us your tired and weak. Well, give Americans a “fishing line and teach them now to survive”. Not everyone on the streets is addicted, many are lost yes so give them a place to build for a job and home. America is better than what we are turning into, homelessness, killings, our children going to schools being killed. I have battled MH and depression and know what our government has in place isn’t working, it’s still broken as the people who say their are professionals. Without people being giving hope for a better day, nothing will change. People can’t find a job if they can’t present with showers and clean clothes. Who will hire someone dirty or smelly? Even folks who work outside shower and change their clothes. What happened to our values, goals, and love for country? Evil demonGutterRats who care less about the American way.
Do not feel sorry for these people, they have all had numerous offers to go to shelters. They refuse because they do not want to follow any rules. They want to live their lives out the way they want to regardless of what it does to you or cost you. Where ever they set up camp soon becomes a filthy dump. By helping them continue with with this lifestyle, all you are doing is just enabling them. They are the ones in control not you. You see they are getting to do what ever they want, so who is in control. Its them.
But you can't help it , how do you not , they were little children once, i know what happened to some of them, & no wonder, well , dah how they got to that point , we need to love on them ones , hugs to you sweet heart's in California, & ty for the eye opening, but honest content . 💖🍶
@@Pimp-Master Its simple you give them one of 3 choices. 1. Give them a slot in the shelter. 2. If not then put them in a work camp, they will be taken care of and they will pay there debt to the tax payers. 3. If 1st. two choices refused then a oneway bus ticket out of the state.
because these places are for slaves. the masters are segregated in their own quarters, away from this. this is a slave slaguther house, you don't worry about sheep cows and pigs getting slaughtered, all that mess and guts and blood spilled and evisceration, do you? you care only about the hamburger.
Because they are not spending in the poor people! most of those really huge taxes that they collect in this state! they're just taking it for themselves! or even spending it just in themselves! or in other useless things! but not in the poor people! because they believe that they don't matter at all! and that they don't mean any more money for them! what a shame! but our almighty God is going to give them their own punisment! the one that they really deserve! for doing this kind of harm to their brothers and sisters!
The problem is not money or even shelter. It’s drugs, mental health and lack of emotional/foundational support to do for oneself. When stuff happens and you can’t move out of it and you fall deeper. In 9 out of 10 cases, if you gave folks money, a job and a place to live, they will likely choose to be back on the street in a tent. This is a much deeper problem of the failures of American individualism and capitalism.
When you have nothing ,you have nothing to lose,it's this type of mentality that crushes the soul,day in and day out it becomes all consuming,we are better than this ,it takes everyone not just someone ,heal the world ,justsayn.

Where did the background music for this video come from. You couldn't have chosen better (really drives home the despair). Hard to watch but an excellent chronicle of current events!
This is a misquote not of Lincoln. It comes from a book called, “Love for the Battle-torn People’s,” published in 1916 by a minister Jenkin Lloyd Jones. The closest bonafide quote from the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln comes from a speech he made in Springfield, Illinois, in 1838. "At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad," he wrote. "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
This is the result of everything the democrats are doing. It is a plan..the great reset. Take everything away from the people so they will be thankful when the government throws the people a loaf of bread. Shameful....this in just 1.5 years. The democrats destroying business on purpose.
You are right John, this government should be ashamed. But they are not. They have their mansions surrounded by walls, and located on the fringe of the city. Then tell their limo drivers not to drive by areas like this, you know, out of sight, out of mind. Then they can boast about what good care they take of their people. Disgusting.

I was living in LA years ago during the recession and ended up a 6 month stint homeless living in a rent a car. Eventually saved up enough to get a place. The homeless problem in LA and other areas is really bad. Almost everyone I knew and met there confessed to being homeless at one time or another but we did at least have cars to sleep in. I imagine the situation being much worse doing that without a car. The make shift tents and boxes on the streets was a sad sight.
Also I recall at the time they had set up a "tent city" at the city center. So if you went there to do anything for permits, drivers license etc you had to deal with being barraged with homeless begging for money and cigarettes. It was astounding how many people were living like that. I guess they allow this there as there is no where else to put them. In other areas there are woods etc to hide them. Not in the city though.

While people increasingly live like this in the US, Room & Board is available in Nicaragua for $60 a month. A 2 bedroom house rents for $80 to $100 a month. The big show stopper is drugs are not tolerated, not even prescribed marijuana or opiates. But perfect for non users on Social Security.

What's so great about that when half your income pays for room and board and 2/3 to afford a house?
@@karenlevine8076 77% of homeowners in Nicaragua own their homes outright. So they have no mortgages. Unlike the US they save to buy homes not get loans. Other countries throughout LatinAmerica have an even higher percentage of home ownership. In the US home ownership is 67.8% with 62.9% of them mortgaged, A huge difference in nearly all Latin Countries is tthe land itself is owned by families and never sold, And common for 3 generations of family or brothers and sisters to live together albiet separate houses or apartments. Seldom do people live alone. So tyoicaklly 3 or 4 of thise average $159 a month incomes.Some houses are nothing more than metak shacks, but they own it outright and make improvements when they have the money.

A prime location just across the street from Parque Central where I had met him.

WHY DO WE GIVE FOREIGN AID TO OTHER COUNTRIES

I can't speak for America, but Australian foreign aid is always guaranteed to be spent on importing Australian products and on many occassions, from companies that have shareholders in Australian Government.

@Kelly Smith they came here. If anyone wants to be homeless, might as well pick a state with great climate. Ask how many of them are natives.
This is pretty much due to Globalization that began in the 1990's and the outsourcing of many good job's in the U.S. I would also blame the use and abuse of legal drugs, and illegal street drugs.
Agreed that globalization and outsourcing of jobs is a problem. I would also add that LEGALLY immigrating millions upon millions of “the poorest of the poor”, who are illiterate in their own language from south of the US border, plays a large role in what is going on, as well.
It is NOT due to any of those things. It is the result of LAZINESS by the people who are homeless (I used to be one of them), and, it is the result of the community not doing enough to offer alternatives. If these people committed to getting off the streets and making their lives better, they could do it. Then the community could do it's part by providing more education, jobs and opportunities for everyone. Trust me, it CAN be done. There is plenty of blame to go around for this shit, but, it starts with the individual person who is homeless.
The US is not the only place this is happening, its all over the world. OK part of the reason is globalization. We have given our jobs to China and made them prosperous and shot our own foot. The other reason is lazyness and these people want to live like this. You take them, clean them and put them in a shelter. A few days later they disappear, they want their freedom and don't desire to work

Is that an actual statistic? It’s bad for the city as a whole for them to be there so everyone suffers bc they are there. If you watch invisible people you’ll learn that these people don’t all have addiction problems, some do, but most would love a chance at a normal life. I dunno what the solution is but there needs to be some kind of action to get these people off the streets.
You are right....These people chose to take drugs ....They chose to be lazy and not work....Now...They are dregs that the rest of society doesn't know what to do with
I lived in LA for decades. I have never seen the homeless situation this bad. Maybe it is the Covid recession, but this is ridiculous. We are the most prosperous nation in human history. We must do a better job of taking care of the unfortunate people.
No your not the most prosperous, that's only what Americans want to believe!
You have no free health system which every other western country has, you have few house owners, and 15% of the population OWN everything! railways, supermarkets, power stations, phone networks,
I watched Trump say they were the only country in the world where the railways were privately owned!!! and he was proud of it!
Americans need to educate themselves because their government is hiding the facts from the population, after visiting the usa I was horrified at what I saw in Hollywood and Beverley Hills! Bums everywhere!!! it looked like a third world country! in Las Vegas the pedestrian overpases were lined both sides with Beggars!! on their smart phones???
I feel sorry for the naive majority that can't see the woods for the trees.
@@reefer2917 *most prosperous nation*
USA has the highest GDP as a nation. It also has vast natural resources.
*15% owning everything*
Income inequality. USA has a problem with this as it has the highest income inequality among the industrialized nations. It is a big problem. However, the private ownership of the train is not an issue since we do not use it. And it is not true as AMTRAK is funded by the federal government. Private ownership is not a problem as long as there is competition and good service. Government works with the private companies to provide services to the non-profitable areas.
*Healthcare*
We do have a universal healthcare. However, due to the massive illegal immigration, the law makes it so that you have to register for it. You cannot simple get free care as other nations do. The real problem is the cost. We pay the highest cost for a mediocre healthcare.
*Homelessness*
We have a government program for everything including food, healthcare and housing. The drugs and mental illness prevents many people from taking advantage of it. For example, we had covid relief problem during the pandemic. Unfortunately, you had to sign up for it.
There are other issues. High crime rate, drugs, massive illegal immigration, taxation, giant military spending and so on. Our problems runs deep.
They make you beleive you are the most prosperous nation in human history but you are NOT. Your goverments even made the twin towers fall in order to create a war. I am sorry but the truth is they cheat on you.
Having had care homes for the Mentally Ill for 20 years, I know a bit about of which I speak. From just watching the first 10 minutes, what I see is a sufficient number of vacant buildings to help address the need for housing. Convert the selected buildings into housing and within the structure provide services such as medical/mental health.
How do we pay for this, by a more equitable and sensible tax structure, stopping foreign aid, especially to countries that don't need it. Many of these people are vets, many others of them didn't choose mental illness, it was a sorry fate, they didn't deserve it, they need help.
Bust up the 1%, the parties over.
It is such a tragedy that people are seen almost as animals…. Each tent is someone’s daughter, son, father, mother, family or friend. Truly heartbreaking no matter what the cause.
Capitalism. That's what the cause is called.
And the fact that 40% of the homeless have a job only confirms how the economic system has failed.
@@YonnyMestampo but some homeless are getting homes now with some of there documents
A cleansing is coming
Yup, plain to see......... Rampant Godlessness always brings in a cleansing. Om Tat Sat

So sad where are all the rich people in that State giving a hand up Robin Williams tried to help.
I live in Canada and Robin Williams called my country “a beautiful apartment on top of a meth lab”. This makes that hard to argue with…………
Never judge we have not walked in their shoes .
No one is judging, but yes, various governments do wrong. Spend money unwise and the poor gets more poor. Same in our country.
LA spends 900million on this problem, obviously mayor and their shareholders pocket all that money
US Govt should spend their time and effort into looking to improve the welfare and well-being of their middle and lower income population instead of wasting their time and effort in smearing China Govt on human rights. US Govt only focus and care for the rich and wealthy Americans living in Wall Streets
Don’t you get it? Our Democratic administration does not want a middle class. They want us all to be with nothing. It’s easier to control the masses. It’s easier to keep it all for themselves. They intentionally closed down these cities intentionally destroying businesses intentionally putting “everybody” in the slums. Welcome to Venezuela fools!!
All empires eventually collapse
So you think because we have homeless people that we will collapse?
Look at the state of the US now yes it is collapsing #chinaiscoming
@@typicalcasual4623 Lol no, it's not. You are uninformed.
@@willymoeslim9639america is going down into the shits 🕳️ holes,not only the homeless, peoples depending on food stamps, can't pay rents, mass shootings, blm, guns violences, anti asian hate crime,will lead america to the collapse of an empire.
@@ngfookkwai6096 America has always had homeless and welfare dependent people, people can pay rent but are abusing the eviction moratorium to become squatters instead of good tenants. These people are spending money on cars casinos and unnecessary things instead of being a good neighbor to their landlord. My family has struggled but we pay our dues, we signed a binding contract and I'm a man of my word.
With so many ridiculously rich actors in the same town, just the Kardashian fortune could take care of this. A couple of shelters could be built for these unfortunate souls
Some of them are getting houses with some of there documents is easier than begging for home my sister in law got hers with some of her documents
God this country, this world is screwed up for us to let all the tyranny go on and let it become like this.
This is not post-apocalyptic. It is pre apocalyptic. Maybe the apocalypse has already begun.
The Music sounds 'Timeless' It's perfect for the setting ! The County of California saved my Life in Oct. 1994 . . . Now I feel so Helpless that I can't Help them back, God, I'm so sorry for the situation that has culminated in this !
This says a lot about who we are a nation when our own people live like this and too little is being done for whatever reason this has become the norm and acceptable it should have never ever got this way this is not living they are just existing.
As long as drug use is glorified, and laws are bent to accept their abuse TIS will be the reality.
The policies put in place has enabled these people.
If you have a parent on the street, why? They should be with you, right?
I contribute this too addiction.
That's the hard truth.
KEEP IT REAL!.
In india there are homeless people too but they are from rural areas/villages....people who migrated from villages to city for a better life but ended up with nothing...
So we have to make our villages self sustaining so people don't move from villages to city
It was the same problem in the developed world, in the 19th century.
Omg, yes Americans are hurting here at home! I know their must be talented people homeless that can build homes. As lady Liberty says, give us your tired and weak. Well, give Americans a “fishing line and teach them now to survive”. Not everyone on the streets is addicted, many are lost yes so give them a place to build for a job and home. America is better than what we are turning into, homelessness, killings, our children going to schools being killed. I have battled MH and depression and know what our government has in place isn’t working, it’s still broken as the people who say their are professionals. Without people being giving hope for a better day, nothing will change. People can’t find a job if they can’t present with showers and clean clothes. Who will hire someone dirty or smelly? Even folks who work outside shower and change their clothes. What happened to our values, goals, and love for country? Evil demonGutterRats who care less about the American way.
I have lived in L. A. I am praying for these people. Heartbreaking. The DS needs to be brought to justice now.
I will pray also.
Do not feel sorry for these people, they have all had numerous offers to go to shelters. They refuse because they do not want to follow any rules. They want to live their lives out the way they want to regardless of what it does to you or cost you. Where ever they set up camp soon becomes a filthy dump. By helping them continue with with this lifestyle, all you are doing is just enabling them. They are the ones in control not you. You see they are getting to do what ever they want, so who is in control. Its them.
But you can't help it , how do you not , they were little children once, i know what happened to some of them, & no wonder, well , dah how they got to that point , we need to love on them ones , hugs to you sweet heart's in California, & ty for the eye opening, but honest content . 💖🍶
Your statement may sound harsh, but without a real solution there will only be more people pulled under and more misery.
@@Pimp-Master Its simple you give them one of 3 choices. 1. Give them a slot in the shelter. 2. If not then put them in a work camp, they will be taken care of and they will pay there debt to the tax payers. 3. If 1st. two choices refused then a oneway bus ticket out of the state.
@@claudenewton8932 yeh says china
All we can do is pray for them. It's their life, we cant change them unless their willing to change themselves first.
Why are the governors of California allowing this?
because these places are for slaves. the masters are segregated in their own quarters, away from this. this is a slave slaguther house, you don't worry about sheep cows and pigs getting slaughtered, all that mess and guts and blood spilled and evisceration, do you? you care only about the hamburger.
@@criztu At least the masters give us cellphones and cool stuff like that. What do these zombie bums do for anyone?
@@EsotericOccultist it's irrelevant. we're in a slaugther house, we're being processed as we speak
How many govenors (plural) does California have, I always thought that each State only has one!?
Because they are not spending in the poor people! most of those really huge taxes that they collect in this state! they're just taking it for themselves! or even spending it just in themselves! or in other useless things! but not in the poor people! because they believe that they don't matter at all! and that they don't mean any more money for them! what a shame! but our almighty God is going to give them their own punisment! the one that they really deserve! for doing this kind of harm to their brothers and sisters!
This country is slowly dying it makes me sad and sick at the same time.
The problem is not money or even shelter. It’s drugs, mental health and lack of emotional/foundational support to do for oneself. When stuff happens and you can’t move out of it and you fall deeper. In 9 out of 10 cases, if you gave folks money, a job and a place to live, they will likely choose to be back on the street in a tent. This is a much deeper problem of the failures of American individualism and capitalism.
A mentality
When you have nothing ,you have nothing to lose,it's this type of mentality that crushes the soul,day in and day out it becomes all consuming,we are better than this ,it takes everyone not just someone ,heal the world ,justsayn.
Biden says, "The tent manufacturing business is thriving! Lots of jobs making tents".
99% of all tents are made in China.
@@jonhelms6496 Strange then, that Biden is excited about all of China's tent making jobs.
😂😂😂😂 that was a good one
you will see the same homeless issues in all major cities.
I live in florida, they live at all the bus stops and libraries.
I was there two months ago and YEP… it’s real.
I was there six months ago, it's exhausting.
My tears just flow while watching this videos. I can't believed that even in America there is such a place like these. God have mercy on us!!!
American dream is over
🙏
Nice job showing Skid Row and the true scope of the problems there.
One of this days....the streets will be clean again...those homeless will have a home to live in it....one of this days...America will be greater than today...there's no permanent in this world...those homeless will not gonna be homeless for ever... You just wait and see...remember ! Life is like a wheel....we are on the bottom today, tomorrow we'll gonna be on top!
WHY WOULD ANY SANE PERSON BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS AND CONSIDER IT A 'SUCCESS'??
MAD MAXINE, ETC......
THE NERVE!!
@fladave99 Mills its why they all live in multi million mansions and eat 20 dollar ice creams.... exactly!! they all should be audited... it would be better if they gave the 2500 to the homeless who needs it, but they are not about really helping, unless its themselves!
What do you expect when you give "free stuff!" and require no work. Or offer open borders and are surprised you only get the worst the third world countries are only too happy to get rid of.
Where did the background music for this video come from. You couldn't have chosen better (really drives home the despair). Hard to watch but an excellent chronicle of current events!
Perfect music to watch dissolution of a society poetry in motion
I like it too. Very cerebral.
@Snarick Klash ?
This is a misquote not of Lincoln. It comes from a book called, “Love for the Battle-torn People’s,” published in 1916 by a minister Jenkin Lloyd Jones. The closest bonafide quote from the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln comes from a speech he made in Springfield, Illinois, in 1838.
"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad," he wrote. "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
There is lot more homeless people’s in this video than we have in entire Canada .
This is the result of everything the democrats are doing. It is a plan..the great reset. Take everything away from the people so they will be thankful when the government throws the people a loaf of bread. Shameful....this in just 1.5 years. The democrats destroying business on purpose.
@@gotchaback1365
Respectively disagree. Not a loaf of bread but a few crumbs.
You are right John, this government should be ashamed. But they are not. They have their mansions surrounded by walls, and located on the fringe of the city. Then tell their limo drivers not to drive by areas like this, you know, out of sight, out of mind. Then they can boast about what good care they take of their people. Disgusting. Thank you for filming this, very well done.
looked like a place at kensington St, PA (people on the sidewalks were like zombies)
Dear Governor and Dear Mayor can you please let me know where are my taxes going. Have never seen LA like this. Hope your teams can do a better job.
The four horses of the apocalypse springs to mind. To few have to much.

It was a satirical comment.
are the apartments empty or does someone live there? are there still shops there?
I used to feel sorry for these animals and give them money. Then I realized most of them WANT to live this way near their drugs. I hope these dirt heads will be moved so we can have our city back. However...it’s the city who gave them these tents and tarps. This is a result of Gavin Newsom as governor.
Downtown LA is absolutely disgusting. The City needs to take control of this situation. There are people that choose to live on the streets so be it. Go do it out of sight if that's the case. There are resources to help. The drug addicted need extra help if they are willing to take the help. something needs to be done!
We need Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 2nd bill of rights proposal to get rid of homelessness! This is a great shame caused by unchecked immoral capitalism that makes commodity out of basic human need such as housing. Capitalism must become more humane for it to service itself!
Know what would be cool - is a side-by-side video with someone driving around in the 70's.
Clearly this town needs to elect more Democrats.
yeah we need every seat to be filled with democrats. so everywhere can look like San Francisco! waking up to the smell of coffee in the morning? screw that. who doesn't like the smell of shit outside their tent!

Visited LA in the 1980’s…. And at that time I thought that some parts looked just like the third world (having seen some third world countries). Little did I know that LA would truly become a 3rd world …. Prophetic or what..?
The richest country on earth? It looks like an abandoned world. It looks like the remains of a zombie apocalypse. The remnants of hopelessness. It looks like death. Am I alive. The end……
Can't the city kick them out Stop being political correct Alot of these people just don't want to pay Rent Or Work.I bet they get SSI or some Food Stamps.They rather get high.Then Pay Rent.They got incomes.Just lazy.Put your Foot down This Drug thing has gone far Enough.
