Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.
This man may be labeled bi-polar and mentally ill...but he’s actually far more sane and intelligent than the majority of society who labels him...I hope the very best for him.
There is a new kind of homeless people nowadays. Entire families of kids and Mom, educated people, people that lost their job, home or tragedy. Many work. I don't give them money. I give snacks, drinks, and brown lunches when I get the chance.
It's called PROPERTY VALUE versus HUMAN and LIFE VALUE. Property values WON. Jesus spoke about this 2000 years ago in Roman Judea. And he WARNED against this and BEHOLD where we are today .
I'd love to know how he is getting on today. The people who wrote comments above have said he made it out of homelessness. He's so intelligent, with an analytical, logical mind.
This man is great to listen to. He has a great spirit and soul. It seems like our system pushes guys like that down and lifts up the wrong qualities if you ask me.
@You You a wicked one ... a beautiful phrase for example is this one: "do we get what we want or do we want what we are given?" ... social engineering is a thing, my friend.
@You You well, off course not. but being conscious about ones surroundings makes these choices easier, I guess ... and it's quite interesting to look a little deeper in how certain behaviour can, was and is being manufactured by ruling positions. in today times and in history
@You You From my perspective, the system is designed to promote greed, lack of compassion/empathy, lack of trust, self-promotion, and even arguably violence and hate. Yes, you're right everyone is responsible for themselves and they have to make good life choices for themselves but that is isn't the issue with the system. The issue is the negative aforementioned qualities that become promoted in our society. Some people just don't have the thick skin to tolerate the BS of our system. We need to promote compassion and support for our most vulnerable. It feels like we are all scared to care for our left behind because by doing so we risk losing what we have. Its the attitude of feeling like it'll never happen to you until it actually does. Did you still make the right choices then?
I have a roof over my head..The road still calls my heart because society is run by a huge crime syndicate we think protects and cares for us.....I don't want any part of it...I know change begins with me no matter where I am in life.
I completely agree, and when I ran into the little girl, in downtown, Austin, i was at a loss as to what to do. I really didn't have anything I could do for her, except give her what little cash I had on me. That was far from anything she needed. Terrible, and yes; the gmen (and those behind them, the actual gmen) could not care less. (I run into their kind, all the time, and despise them.)
Nope , its about throwing God out of our lives so that we can be alcoholics, & use drugs, & hurt young people & old , so they will run away & leave every thing , its because of child abuse , serious bad sin that are in families & behind closed doors , not black & white .
I grew up with said people who secretly and openly beat the heck out of others , molested them , stole their childhood & mom & brother from them , I've been homeless because of these monsters , have talked with others in my shoes how messed up they feel inside like something bad got to them & it did , don't have to wear just one pair of shoes , lots of reasons why people become homeless , no no lie ok 😢💖
@@proudchristian77 yeah, i got beat and sexually abused. put on the patriot act list for speaking out against unconstitutional wars and so forth. there are no excuses. i still ask for forgiveness and strength in Christ. my only point is, why don;'t you hate the trillionaire satanists that run the place as much as you do their victims? here is the answer, they control the space between your temples.

Best moment was when he says , “ you know what you got the guy who make 100k over there, the cop , who knows how much he makes and the city worker you know he makes minimum wage. And when the disaster strikes it don’t matter if it’s man made , natural or unnatural they are going to be right here with us and the funny thing is man we are going to help them.” Something to that effect.

Wow, this guy has had to see and deal with a lot of crap. Seems like a good soul. I rather this person be my neighbor or someone to count on than the psycos that call themselves cops.
it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. So many souls selling out for a life of unhappy wealth....
Such an intriguing man. I wish people would start opening their eyes and listen . The thing is, they just might teach you a few things. Thanks for posting another important video!
You both speak the truth!!!! Homelessness is everywhere - in more places then people know. It is so refreshing to see good souls come together. I was homeless for two years. God Bless You Two🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
@@s.w.sministries4873 yeah brother in Christ we need to warn save the lost for the kingdom of God is at hand. Becuz police officers are part of the Freemasons which a secret society which is evil like the guy in the video talking about the so called cops, I don't like cops for many reasons regarding this being one of the reasons that he talks the guy in the video so.
Army of Gog you might be Native American, but I think it might be interesting for you to have a closer listen and understanding of the teachings of your elders. I think you might find some more interesting stuff then looking down on and critising people that have no accès to medical and dental care and getting by the best they can
This man is smart, informed and compassionate. I can see him succeed at a myriad of trades and careers. He’s vital. Everyone has something to contribute. He has a lot. Along with housing and healthcare, some vocational training/opportunities would be great.
There's a high likelihood that, due to my own personal struggles, none of which involve drugs or alcohol, that I will be homeless in the near future, with no means nor the wherewithal to change my circumstances. Over the years, I have taken in people off the streets, let them sleep in my car at night, held regular get togethers, kept food, clothes and blankets on hand (sometimes getting a knock on my window in the middle of the night), let them do laundry and take showers. I got their mail, because you need an address. Phone service. Helped a few in the crew to take classes at the college where I worked. Even got an attorney when a couple of the guys had been physically abused by a local business. They were friends of mine. Like, 15 of them are dead now... maybe 3 are still alive. Still homeless. I've seen how things happen to people, and realized how precarious is my own position in life. "There but for the grace of God go I." I've seen what homelessness can do to people... For me, I'd rather be dead. And I won't go quietly.
It's painful to read your account. It isn't right that someone who has done so much for the homeless , an invisble demographic, should end up among them. It's so rotten unfair.
These videos are eye-opening and pretty powerful. I have been binge-watching them for the last few days. I've never really even thought about the difficulty of getting housing or whether or not homeless people choose/want to remain homeless. I didn't realize how absolutely normal many of these homeless people seem to be. Thanks for educating me.
Best interview I have seen on this subject. I love this guy. It is people like him that can make a differance. So intelligent and well spoken. I sure hope he finds happiness. I could listen to him all day. Sending much love.
@@ateekahmitik324 I got it from a Bible verse... 🙏"What Does the Lord Require of You? to Act Justly and to Love Mercy and to Walk Humbly With Your God."
John Emerick I can tell anyone I want that I love them. You are to love your neighbors. That's one of Gods Laws. Don't tell me what to do, be grateful that you're loved!
I absolutely love what I've seen of this fellow's character, verbal expressions, and communication style. I could have listened to him for hours, as he does have wisdom and life experience. I hope he gets housed, gets proper medical attention, and is able to find at least a part-time job as a cook again.
Listening to this mans injuries makes me extremely grateful that I live in a country with public health care, it’s not perfect and could be better but I couldn’t imagine walking around with broken bones and bad knees. I really wish you the best of luck.
He's very intelligent and articulate. And absolutely right, It's planned! There's no priority to get people off the street. There's many cabable people who'd happily do construction work with donated materials. People who can cook. How many vacant properties in Detroit deteriorating?
@@FeralNitrous would be nice if an actual program existed to help people and at the same time make use of vacant delapidated houses. It's very humbling to have a personal crisis and end up homeless.
16:50 New World Order Novus Ordo Seclorum It's on every dollar bill The Bible warns for it. So better all repent and believe in Jesus Christ, because this world is broken and is going down very rapidly as it is written and we all need His Salvation. Things are getting worse very quick. Our only hope is in Him.
Lina Ash Yea, but if they're making money out of people who can't even help themselves, but are placed in the very situation they are in because of the system. Then that should say a lot.
Andrew yang is the only presidential candidate that is talking about this serious issue. Universal basic Income is what America need. It will get the boot off people throat
@@MichaelHarrisonDTOrg The money that's donated as well as the tax money that's set aside by some communities to house homeless people is often not actually used to help homeless people at all.
16:00 yup. With the murder that recently happened, and the witness to the murder being killed aswell. We all know damn well something disgusting is happening deep within our society
😍Let us all pray for this man and all our homeless brothers and sisters out there in need!💔 If you ain't a part of the solution you ARE a part of the problem..so I do hope you do stop and pray. Prayer is the solution!..And prayer goes hand in hand with action!
Wow, I could imagine sitting and talking to this man for days. God bless him and ALL those in this horrible situation that SHOULDN’T even be a thing. This man is DEFINITELY in the know. This is one of THE most memorable, touching interviews I’ve seen yet.
"I'm not homeless. I was born and bred in the United States...I'm houseless." This really has to be the quotation of the year. Priceless. And unbelievable that this gentleman, Cheech, with such a brilliant mind, originality and power of expression, should be in such a situation....I hope you have made your way out of it Cheech. Or that you are travelling with your wardog alongside, out of choice, not compulsion.
Great video sad reality. As former homeless I can relate when he said all they need is a roof over his head and some dignity. Mental health sucks it takes a lot of patience and time to help and stabilize the issue. I know because I struggle with it, but after much prayers, education and holistic approach I am overcoming the challenges. I now owe a home and I’m a landlord (low income) to people that were in my situation in the past. Some come out of the place owning their own. All by helping them via coaching, financial advice on how to save, health care, etc. Yes it is a lot of work, but worth it. It is my way of giving back for all my blessings.
May God continue to use your life to help uplift others. This is how we come together and destroy evil by reaching out and loving each other (through God's true pure love). Jesus Bless you and your loved ones abundantly for eternity.
I often think of you, I saw your video when it came out & I've just found it again. I do hope you have somewhere now, you are an impressive guy, God be with you!!
This one is one of your best interviews in my opinion. God Bless Him and your work. Thank you so much for bringing these outstanding individuals to our attention. Stay Amazing
I've watched a ton of your videos but of all the ones I have seen - this one might be the most profound, most engaging and convincing of them all - everything Cheech says is riveting and on-point and perfectly summarized and presented. I really appreciate your commitment and passion for your videos plus the fact that you allow your subjects to speak at length without interrupting them and allowing us (the viewers) to truly understand their perspective. thank-you
Btw; to Cheech, I think I ran into that little girl, a day and half before him. I saw her (long, dark, hair.. doe eyes, terrified, and blubbering-crying..) down on Red River, across from Swan Dive (I shoot music in the area.) She was just sitting on the sidewalk, in her pajama bottoms and long-sleeved tee, crying. I stopped (nobody stopped -- it was weird!) and asked if I could do anything. It was one or two in the morning.. she said, "I don't have anywhere to sleep." That was it. Sadly, for her, I am poor. I cleaned out my bag, of all the money I had, and it was less than $5, I am sure. I really didn't know what else to do for her. Calling cops, for that, is counter to anything reasonable. It was terribly sad. Little girl. Tiny feet, covered in the black of Austin exhaust and human sweat.., and I should have thought to video it.., but no, wasn't the right time or person. She was really out of place, there.
Maybe it would have helped to find her a place to sleep, if not in your house, maybe in your car, or yard or something. She was probably scared to death.
@@Babu-kr3cr See? You have made some assumptions there. I do not have a car. I was taking a bus home (and only left myself my bus pass.) I do not have, "a yard or something". I live and work in two tiny rooms, so no; could not have taken her to my place. Maybe you can go downtown and start collecting people. I am not really able to do so.
@@johnw5584 1. Cops do not solve problems. 2. being homeless, in Austin, is (famously) not a crime. 3. Her age would not matter. There are more than a few homeless kids downtown.
@@annebeck58 Okay well she might be dead now. So maybe it would have been better to let her sleep in one of the tiny rooms or at least to have found her a safer place to stay and then come back to check on her. She probably would have gladly slept on the floor.
@@Babu-kr3cr You obviously don't understand how things work in real life. I have allowed homeless people to stay with me, three times, and each time, I was threatened with eviction. You know nothing of this girl. I know nothing of her except what I saw. I did what I could, at the time (2 a.m, on a Sunday.) I bet it is more than you have done. If you feel you are the most virtuous, and you have the answers, solve the homeless crisis we so obviously have. I couldn't even get her to my home. A bus pass is good for one person. Buses are not free, in Austin, any more. (I think they ended the ozone action days to stop homeless riding buses all day and night in the heat.)
Austin has been growing like it should not be, in the past thirty years, and in particular the past ten years, as Google, Apple, Facebook, have moved so much in. It is leaving a lot of Austinites homeless.
@@anythingeverything2659 Still need people to run those automated machines. I know. I do that. There is also, in Austin, a turn back to handiwork. People sell a lot of their handmade items, here, and are appreciated for it.
@@annebeck58 its beyond automation..AI will run that. IBM already has a quantum CPU thats cooled by nuclear smoke stack. I encourage you to research the NEOM Project. Invention Secrecy Act of 1951.. we are about 40 years behind on what is already out there. people are being merged wth machines and computers and made into cyborgs already so that we can go beyond low earth orbit. we never been to the moon.
You are so right one thing can change your life. I got injured at work and my life has been hell every since. SSI ISN'T ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. Many people that are homeless are not bums, they were hard-working people. One thing can change your whole life.

Not homeless, houseless! That was exactly my saying when I was homeless in Austin a few years ago. Wherever you are you're home. 😍
Yes a city can be your home.
..Living out there is as street smart as one could be and observing as much possible. We all need a need(s).
synergistic WE Home is where your heart is 😍☺️

@@ateekahmitik324 exactly 😍
it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
So many souls selling out for a life of unhappy wealth....
Bris Vegas correct.
Their wealth Is not authentic wealth. It is not Gods wealth ❤️
I like that very good comment
Bris Vegas truth
When money means nothing.
20:50 he drops some wisdom, finishing with "It sucks, alright, that I have to be houseless... in my own home" -Cheech 2019 ...hard truths right there.
doesn't hurt to be street smart. and that he is..
This guy is spot on. He’s telling the truth.
This was a really good interview, Mark 💜
Such an intriguing man. I wish people would start opening their eyes and listen . The thing is, they just might teach you a few things. Thanks for posting another important video!
You both speak the truth!!!! Homelessness is everywhere - in more places then people know. It is so refreshing to see good souls come together. I was homeless for two years. God Bless You Two🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
AMEN!!! He is home just houseless!!! May Jesus Christ bless and watch over you!!! THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE NEW EARTH!!!
S.W.S Ministries That's right my sweet dear!!! Happening soon!! Love you😊💖
Amen Jesus is coming, the Illuminati & the secret Societies are the work of the Devil.
Thank you all! So many people don't believe now a days!!!
@@s.w.sministries4873 yeah brother in Christ we need to warn save the lost for the kingdom of God is at hand. Becuz police officers are part of the Freemasons which a secret society which is evil like the guy in the video talking about the so called cops, I don't like cops for many reasons regarding this being one of the reasons that he talks the guy in the video so.
Where is Jesus????????where is GOD? ?????????we're all on are own,RISE UP WISE UP TO AUTHORITY
Great Video Mark...Cheech is very knowledgeable about what is going on,and smart,I hope he gets affordable housing
This guy is very aware, very emotionally smart. I wish him the best, he deserves it!
He is soooo intelligent and insightful....
Wicked troll.. you sound so foolish!
Army of Gog / The substance of a human being is their heart and soul. You are clearly shallow minded with a black heart.
Army of Gog you might be Native American, but I think it might be interesting for you to have a closer listen and understanding of the teachings of your elders. I think you might find some more interesting stuff then looking down on and critising people that have no accès to medical and dental care and getting by the best they can
There is more humanity in Cheech's words than all the preachers' and politicians' speeches and sermons combined.
🙏 This World needs more love & compassion 🙏 ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤🌎🙏
Amen.
@You You But for the grace of God there we all go.....
This man is smart, informed and compassionate. I can see him succeed at a myriad of trades and careers. He’s vital. Everyone has something to contribute. He has a lot. Along with housing and healthcare, some vocational training/opportunities would be great.
😔 a great sorrow i feel for you. For much was given only to fall upon deaf ears blind eyes & stagnate body.
There's a high likelihood that, due to my own personal struggles, none of which involve drugs or alcohol, that I will be homeless in the near future, with no means nor the wherewithal to change my circumstances.
Over the years, I have taken in people off the streets, let them sleep in my car at night, held regular get togethers, kept food, clothes and blankets on hand (sometimes getting a knock on my window in the middle of the night), let them do laundry and take showers. I got their mail, because you need an address. Phone service. Helped a few in the crew to take classes at the college where I worked. Even got an attorney when a couple of the guys had been physically abused by a local business. They were friends of mine. Like, 15 of them are dead now... maybe 3 are still alive. Still homeless.
I've seen how things happen to people, and realized how precarious is my own position in life. "There but for the grace of God go I." I've seen what homelessness can do to people...
For me, I'd rather be dead. And I won't go quietly.
Stuart Edwards I pray for you .
@@susanbrown2909 Thanks, Susan. I'm grateful to have had my eyes opened.
That was a great thing you did. People dont realize it's the small things that can make a homeless person day. Just taking a shower is really huge
It's painful to read your account. It isn't right that someone who has done so much for the homeless , an invisble demographic, should end up among them. It's so rotten unfair.
Really praying for you. Wish I could help. I pray someone does. God bless.
These videos are eye-opening and pretty powerful. I have been binge-watching them for the last few days. I've never really even thought about the difficulty of getting housing or whether or not homeless people choose/want to remain homeless. I didn't realize how absolutely normal many of these homeless people seem to be. Thanks for educating me.
Those in power are worried, no wonder the cops are getting more militaristic
godstomper As they should be, The creator God is on the Earth, and about to be revealed.
Do you Think bro? I am not going to argue with you. You're speaking a bunch of babble bs. This is Gods creation not yours.
Under Doggg I am sorry you feel that way about yourself, get well soon. Xo
Best interview I have seen on this subject. I love this guy. It is people like him that can make a differance. So intelligent and well spoken. I sure hope he finds happiness. I could listen to him all day. Sending much love.
Be blessed ! Thanks Mark
This is my favorite man you have interviewed. Love this man

John Emerick I can tell anyone I want that I love them. You are to love your neighbors. That's one of Gods Laws. Don't tell me what to do, be grateful that you're loved!
@@ateekahmitik324 Never seek to tell thy love; Love that never told can be. For the gentle wind does move silently... invisibly👥
Very touching and intelligent man. God bless you
I absolutely love what I've seen of this fellow's character, verbal expressions, and communication style. I could have listened to him for hours, as he does have wisdom and life experience. I hope he gets housed, gets proper medical attention, and is able to find at least a part-time job as a cook again.
wisdom he holds!!
@You You its to bad you hold none!!!
what an awesome man. I would rather spend my time talking to him, then 98% of the people I know. I love his wishes too. God bless him.
We have a huge problem ,
@You You ok
I met Cheech a few months ago in rehab really good guy and I’m happy to say he’s doing really well!
Is he good? or housed?
This gentleman is very articulate intelligent man-
America is a christian country right. Prove it folks. Prove it. Call your polititions and vote out trump.
His heart is so rich. God please bless this man and provide him with the shelter and dignity in his life. Protect him!
God bless Cheech and God bless invisible people★peace
I hope this man has found a beautiful home or finds a beautiful home very very soon ❤️ What a wonderful man ❤️ He deserves only the best ❤️
Thank you Mark. I always learn something from the people you meet.

Listening to this mans injuries makes me extremely grateful that I live in a country with public health care, it’s not perfect and could be better but I couldn’t imagine walking around with broken bones and bad knees. I really wish you the best of luck.
Jo Nanna And the bloody Liberals keep hacking at it all the time.
WHAT AN AWESOME MAN, YOU ARE SO WASTED ON THE STREETS, WITHOUT YOUR HOUSE, I WILL PRAY FOR YOU!! LOVE FROM THE UK ❤️❤️❤️❤️
He's very intelligent and articulate. And absolutely right, It's planned! There's no priority to get people off the street. There's many cabable people who'd happily do construction work with donated materials. People who can cook. How many vacant properties in Detroit deteriorating?
We should send the homeless from Austin to Detroit.
@@FeralNitrous would be nice if an actual program existed to help people and at the same time make use of vacant delapidated houses. It's very humbling to have a personal crisis and end up homeless.
There is homelessness in Detroit and an overwhelming amount of abandoned homes that need to be demolished. A problem that is just now being addressed.

The Bible warns for it.
So better all repent and believe in Jesus Christ, because this world is broken and is going down very rapidly as it is written and we all need His Salvation. Things are getting worse very quick. Our only hope is in Him.
I've actually seen homeless people in Europe, they look and feel the same.
#Darius Thurman, That is because the same evil is controlling the world.
Darius Thurman there is a devastating homeless problem in U.K., it’s everywhere
Damn. Talk about exposing the truth.. Its about time..
The system makes money out of homeless people.
It makes money out of everyone.
Lina Ash Yea, but if they're making money out of people who can't even help themselves, but are placed in the very situation they are in because of the system. Then that should say a lot.
how do they make money out of homeless people? no sarcasm. just how do they actually make money from homeless people?
Andrew yang is the only presidential candidate that is talking about this serious issue. Universal basic Income is what America need. It will get the boot off people throat
@@MichaelHarrisonDTOrg The money that's donated as well as the tax money that's set aside by some communities to house homeless people is often not actually used to help homeless people at all.
16:00 yup. With the murder that recently happened, and the witness to the murder being killed aswell. We all know damn well something disgusting is happening deep within our society
These people have more sense than the rich these cops are gangsters in badges
😍Let us all pray for this man and all our homeless brothers and sisters out there in need!💔 If you ain't a part of the solution you ARE a part of the problem..so I do hope you do stop and pray. Prayer is the solution!..And prayer goes hand in hand with action!
Wow, I could imagine sitting and talking to this man for days. God bless him and ALL those in this horrible situation that SHOULDN’T even be a thing. This man is DEFINITELY in the know. This is one of THE most memorable, touching interviews I’ve seen yet.
"It sucks because I have to be houseless in my own home." Damn...
"I'm not homeless. I was born and bred in the United States...I'm houseless."
This really has to be the quotation of the year. Priceless. And unbelievable that this gentleman, Cheech, with such a brilliant mind, originality and power of expression, should be in such a situation....I hope you have made your way out of it Cheech. Or that you are travelling with your wardog alongside, out of choice, not compulsion.
Man speaking the truth. It's been my life experience the people with the least will help others when they're down and out the most. May God bless him.
Some how nothing more inspiring than a homeless man.❤❤
Great video sad reality. As former homeless I can relate when he said all they need is a roof over his head and some dignity. Mental health sucks it takes a lot of patience and time to help and stabilize the issue. I know because I struggle with it, but after much prayers, education and holistic approach I am overcoming the challenges.
I now owe a home and I’m a landlord (low income) to people that were in my situation in the
past. Some come out of the place owning their own. All by helping them via coaching, financial advice on how to save, health care, etc. Yes it is a lot of work, but worth it. It is my way of giving back for all my blessings.
May God continue to use your life to help uplift others. This is how we come together and destroy evil by reaching out and loving each other (through God's true pure love). Jesus Bless you and your loved ones abundantly for eternity.
This man has more common sense than all of us.
I often think of you, I saw your video when it came out & I've just found it again. I do hope you have somewhere now, you are an impressive guy, God be with you!!
This guy is smarter than 99 percent of people out there just for keeping all his information and he is homeless , speak for itseld
Your caring spirit shines threw 💫❤️❤️
ive been homeless off n on for the past 10 years n this guy knows whats up
This one is one of your best interviews in my opinion. God Bless Him and your work. Thank you so much for bringing these outstanding individuals to our attention. Stay Amazing
nothing that happens is an accident ! HE IS RIGHT !
I've watched a ton of your videos but of all the ones I have seen - this one might be the most profound, most engaging and convincing of them all - everything Cheech says is riveting and on-point and perfectly summarized and presented. I really appreciate your commitment and passion for your videos plus the fact that you allow your subjects to speak at length without interrupting them and allowing us (the viewers) to truly understand their perspective. thank-you
Btw; to Cheech, I think I ran into that little girl, a day and half before him. I saw her (long, dark, hair.. doe eyes, terrified, and blubbering-crying..) down on Red River, across from Swan Dive (I shoot music in the area.) She was just sitting on the sidewalk, in her pajama bottoms and long-sleeved tee, crying. I stopped (nobody stopped -- it was weird!) and asked if I could do anything. It was one or two in the morning.. she said, "I don't have anywhere to sleep." That was it. Sadly, for her, I am poor. I cleaned out my bag, of all the money I had, and it was less than $5, I am sure.
I really didn't know what else to do for her. Calling cops, for that, is counter to anything reasonable. It was terribly sad. Little girl. Tiny feet, covered in the black of Austin exhaust and human sweat.., and I should have thought to video it.., but no, wasn't the right time or person. She was really out of place, there.
Maybe it would have helped to find her a place to sleep, if not in your house, maybe in your car, or yard or something. She was probably scared to death.
@@Babu-kr3cr See? You have made some assumptions there. I do not have a car. I was taking a bus home (and only left myself my bus pass.) I do not have, "a yard or something". I live and work in two tiny rooms, so no; could not have taken her to my place. Maybe you can go downtown and start collecting people. I am not really able to do so.
@@johnw5584 1. Cops do not solve problems. 2. being homeless, in Austin, is (famously) not a crime. 3. Her age would not matter. There are more than a few homeless kids downtown.
@@annebeck58 Okay well she might be dead now. So maybe it would have been better to let her sleep in one of the tiny rooms or at least to have found her a safer place to stay and then come back to check on her. She probably would have gladly slept on the floor.
@@Babu-kr3cr You obviously don't understand how things work in real life. I have allowed homeless people to stay with me, three times, and each time, I was threatened with eviction. You know nothing of this girl. I know nothing of her except what I saw. I did what I could, at the time (2 a.m, on a Sunday.) I bet it is more than you have done. If you feel you are the most virtuous, and you have the answers, solve the homeless crisis we so obviously have.
I couldn't even get her to my home. A bus pass is good for one person. Buses are not free, in Austin, any more. (I think they ended the ozone action days to stop homeless riding buses all day and night in the heat.)
Thanks he has a great voice and he is thoughtful
I know his world.
The grass isnt greener on the other side it's how you water it where you're at
Easy life,"" true words,. "" I will only grow and prosper if it it well taken of...
Sir, I raise my glass to you for your honestly.
I'm houseless but I'm home... Love this guy.
I really like this guy's mind.
Austin has been growing like it should not be, in the past thirty years, and in particular the past ten years, as Google, Apple, Facebook, have moved so much in.
It is leaving a lot of Austinites homeless.
Its goong to increase. Jobs are being automated.
@@anythingeverything2659 Still need people to run those automated machines. I know. I do that. There is also, in Austin, a turn back to handiwork. People sell a lot of their handmade items, here, and are appreciated for it.
very true i live in austin and anytime you leave downtown and come back in all you can expect is major traffic
@@sleeez2016 Yeah, my parents wouldn't move here, twenty years ago, because of the traffic. It wasn't even terrible, comparatively, til now..
@@annebeck58
its beyond automation..AI will run that. IBM already has a quantum CPU thats cooled by nuclear smoke stack. I encourage you to research the NEOM Project.
Invention Secrecy Act of 1951.. we are about 40 years behind on what is already out there. people are being merged wth machines and computers and made into cyborgs already so that we can go beyond low earth orbit. we never been to the moon.
Beauty conversation, reality 100 percent.
Stay safe fella, you truly are an inspirational man.
Hugs from Ontario Canada
This is a solid man
Cheech, you are an amazing person. Thank you so much for the information, brother. You are eloquent in your ability to speak the truth.
If their not making money off of you they don't help you spot on he hit the nail on the head
You are so right one thing can change your life. I got injured at work and my life has been hell every since. SSI ISN'T ENOUGH TO LIVE ON. Many people that are homeless are not bums, they were hard-working people. One thing can change your whole life.
Smart guy. Excellent interview.
This wonderful Man is astounding. The insight he has is just....well mind blowing! These kind of people have the tools in their toolbox to fix the problems. God Bless him
