- On the morning of Thursday, November 2, 2023, a combined force of the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. engaged in their routine weekly cleanup of homeless encampments on Main Street, and the Venice Boardwalk.
Safety measures were rigorously followed with workers donning white hazardous materials suits, in accordance with prevailing safety protocols.
The vigilant presence of Los Angeles Police Officers was instrumental in ensuring the safety and compliance of everyone present, with a special focus on the homeless community. Their role extended beyond just overseeing cleanliness and hygiene standards, to ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols, thereby ensuring a secure and compliant operation.
These cleanup endeavors, such as the one carried out in Venice, signify a slice of the City of Los Angeles' broader agenda to mitigate homelessness. Although these measures capture just a fragment of a more extensive strategy, the city’s resolve towards crafting sustainable, long-term solutions is steadfast. The strategy underscores addressing the core issues of homelessness while extending crucial resources to those in need-a balanced approach reflecting the city’s earnest commitment to fostering enduring change.

The biggest problem I have with the homeless is all the trash and litter they bring to wherever they stay, even if there are trash cans they instead throw all their trash on the ground and it ends up in the rivers, streams and ocean, it is frustrating
Most people don’t realise that fact about stormwater….well said.
I agree 100%
Most homeless are on drugs and psychosis, you had be lucky they didn’t broke any of your windows !
99% aren't "homeless" their drug addicts call them what they are
I don’t think it’s the ‘biggest’ problem, though I agree it is a problem. A trash can to you and I is a possible food source to the homeless. Perspectives.
Daisy may be good for the view counts, but LAPD needs to start issuing her citations for interfering with official business. The woman needs help herself. Being pretty shouldn't be a free pass to interfere with a process that residents have been fighting for for years.
I despise that vile woman. She's an animal abuser ( she beats up an elderly, disabled dog "COOPER" who lives with his owner and her), a child abuser who has many restraining orders against her. She believes that because she parades her breasts and arse, half naked, around those homeless, and Police, she has a right to interfere with her crazy ramblings. She belongs in a psych ward, or prison. She's violent, a drunk, bad to the bone.
Its not cute.
It's great they are finally being allowed to address this problem.
The cop looking at his watch at 7:11 is like "Where is Daisy ?" " She should have been here by now " 😂
🤣😂
Beauty privilege? Lol my wife and I were just saying that if anyone else continuously displayed her antics it wouldn’t be tolerated long.
@@frdm5774 Exactly !
Crazy Daisy 😂😂😂😂
I don’t disagree
People are constantly complaining about the homeless. Not doing much to help, till they get to church. Then, it's all prayers for the homeless.. It takes nothing at all to become homeless. And, if your ID expires while you are homeless? No food bank. Not shelter. No soup kitchen. You are on the side of the freeway begging for money..
.
While you are homeless with ID? You can make it off the streets in time. But, if you expire during then? You become a prayer at church 🙏
Perfectly said
She's making the moment very tense, w her board twirlin' and bouncin' off the police tape
Oh Daisy, she's such a character
Some guy in the midwest watching this will pack his bags to live in paradise where they clean the street you live on and you can meet wild crazy chicks 😅
I thought you missed Daisy's antics😂 You did an awesome job of capturing everything!
I like her
@@TONYBALLARDALPINEALIEN- 😅 she's actually cute and good looking , imagine if she wasn't drugged out or nuts , in LA right there she could be doing professional porn , stripping , parts in movies , escorting , making a living making 🏦🏧
Wait... She's a known person in the community?
What’s her number I want to save that beautiful lady
@@emsauce75 I assume so , cause people are referring to her as daisy , and the cops in the vid seem to just laugh off her crazy antics . Hottest homeless , meth head lady in LA county 😀😅😅👍🥃🚬
About damn time
African American and Latino sanitation workers are the heroes here. It's hard to imagine what they see and smell for their modest salaries.
It wouldn't be complete without that psycho showing up..Jeez.
I agree. If she didn't have the plastic surgery no one would pay attention to her 😅
she sure loves the camera.
Beautiful lady
Daisy needs to visit a hospital.
The girl is wracked out!
Why does she carry on like that ? She just sounds and acts mad all the time
What is wrong with that woman?🤷♀️., I think nobody is upstairs 😂
She is one of those who get to do what she likes because of her looks .....if it was anyone else they'd get arrested......
🤣🤣😂😂
She has a TH-cam channel but I delete it because she gets annoying
I love crazy Daisy. She really is very athletic too.
I still don’t get it. All that equipment? Why not two cars with a few officers in each one PATROLLING the area so it doesn’t get like that????
- Daisy must have a tracker on the clean up crew. lol smh🤣😂
- Great job on post Mr. Fabian. 👍👍
Why are there always these plain clothes , i guess social workers around ? They don't seem to have purpose or benefit to anyone .They're always just standing around doing nothing .
"It's boring when you don't have meaning or purpose!" If anyone would know, it would definitely be her!
I think she's intelligent and by far the one of the most unique individuals I've heard. She needs her own show. She has a personality like no other and it is one of a kind.
@@ringostartheguineapig5783 She's a troll and a nuisance! If I was one of those cops I'd arrest her for obstruction. She's not provimg a point and if all these homeless people were just left to do whatever they please (which is what she wants), Venice would look like a 3rd world country!
I thought it was Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe @@ringostartheguineapig5783
mental illness isn't unique.@@ringostartheguineapig5783
@@ringostartheguineapig5783 Well she said she has 7 warrants out. And she’s still trying to see her kids. I think she acts crazy to avoid reality. Pretty sad. 😢
Whats up with that chick? Shes looks like shes not all there
She isn't. She is mentally ill from what I have heard here.😒
She's not.
Where do these people get all this junk from? And how do they accumulated it that fast? Unbelievable.
People (non-homeless) basically dump their unwanted shit in front of these camps and think they are being charitable.
It's yours. Stolen
They scavenge what people put out. Some people may have just put it out with their garbage for proper collection by the city others might have just put it out there knowing someone else would take it. There are scavengers that aren't homeless and make a crappy living driving around a pickup truck and scoping out dumpsters.
There might be a few genuine stolen items they snatched out of someone's yard but it's usually just trash.
@@Ferreal92 You and DadeMurphie are right I've known a couple of people who did that, gave the homeless clothes. One time my son and I put out an old dresser there was a guy living behind the building next door, I called for trash pickup came out he had taken it and was using it. 😂I took it back.
accumulated . . . 💀
Daisy lives!
How does she not get 5150 everyday ?
Ĺast week the cameraman showed them all move across the street and as soon as crew drove off the block, they were putting their items n tents right back in the same place.
I think a few big name moving companies should hire these homeless people... do you see how much "stuff" they can fit into a shopping cart- imagine what they could pack a moving van !
Not that woman again?! Doesn't she have a husband to take care of? Why do you keep focusing on this person when there are others who are coherent and may have something of value to say. I sure as heck would like to hear from 5he sanitation workers and how they feel at the end of the day.
This would be interesting, short interviews, but more than likely he does this because she brings in views.
@@milliondollalic So what you are saying is he is using a mentally ill woman for clicks? Gawdalmighty.
2 reasons.
she prolly an actress he hires
Sex sells
She’s crazy.
That woman you can tell was traumatized at a young age…voice gives it away.
I have the same voice 😂😂😂
I can’t get loud to save my life
She talks about it! It's bad 😢
@@countryfriedbaconstrip1287 Most men would find that appealing 😂🤣😆
I've tried watching your videos you tend to title cleaning up homeless encampments. I leave because you then dedicate your camera to the mentally ill female. If its about her also why not admit that in the title "Homeless incapment with nut lady" . That way I'll move on to something more interesting .
TOO MANY officials to clean a little bit of trash! Ridiculous waste of resources
Cop's gotta be the laziest ppl out there every time you see them always 6 in a circle just talking for Hours doing nothing watching other ppl work hard then they jump in there patrol 🚓 cars n drive around for 4 more Hours
Daisey, dear, please find a place to stay, and stay there. This is not healthy for you
what happened to her husband??
@@cady3997Sounds like to me of what I heard, They're getting a divorce. 😢😢😢
She needs to mind her own business. She is sad.
wow that didn't last long@@rayinhollywood
@@rayinhollywood Could you imagine trying to live with her ? , it would drive me nuts in about 10 minutes.
What a bunch of sluggish looking officers 😮 unbelievable unfit couldn't chase their own hat if they needed to. How embarrassing no wonder the city is a mess. From the top just trickling right on down.
Facts😂
I definitely think they need more people onsite to have this job go smoother. So far, 6 police, 8 guys in high vis vests and two social workers i think? 😮
What is more people going to do? How was that not smooth?
And they will be back as soon as the cleanup crew leave.
@@DadeMurphie sarcasm.
@@Pete-z6e it’s definitely a complex issue. I watch a TH-cam channel called ‘Soft White Underbelly’. The host has been interviewing homeless, addicts, women of the night, etc. for years now. Out of thousands of people he stated he knows of only one who escaped the streets. One.
@@DadeMurphie my comment was more an observation. It seems a very inefficient system. If I operated my own company like the city I would have been bankrupt long ago. Not saying I have all the answers, but that’s a pile of money per hour, couldn’t those funds be used more effectively?
I have followed this channel on and off. The one thing that I keep thinking about is the costs of all the various government agencies involved.
It is apparent that as is with a road construction project, how many people stand around doing well apparently nothing.
Social workers,police,park rangers, trash inspectors, trash handelers,and who knows how many others at the tax dollar buffet.
I shure hope sending all the jobs overseas was well worth the cheep TV's,cars and crap. I guess some of the "experts" nailed it 1989.😮
Imagine how much cleaning they could really do if 5 clean up guys didn't just stare at trash for so long. Don't get me wrong. It's a job I wouldn't want. But you were hired to clean. Rant over😂
@@_Babs_1960 it’s even deeper than just that. In my experience ‘going to work’ and actually putting in a solid effort is where the rewards are. I couldn’t do that job, not because it’s rough, but because there is no reward.
I watched one guy pick up a piece of garbage and literally hand it to another guy who was standing beside the garbage truck. 🤷🏼♂️
Every 30 years history repeats. In 1990-93 was a similar rent moratorium too
@@frdm5774
Good morning
Yes Ive seen a many a videos of these cleanups. Who supervises these folks? Many employers would fire this type of lazy behavior. Tax payers should be appalled at the lazy behavior.
I feel for neighbors who have to see these trash piles daily.
I don't think things will ever change no matter how many times things are cleaned up.
And what a shame all the expensive store carts that are trashed. And let's not discuss they are stolen to begin with. 🤬
Have a great day.
a non-profit would come pick up all the useable stuff for free ----- the rest of the trash could be picked up by the regular pickup
Skater girl looks fun, is she available for parties?
Seems like everyone knows that crazy daisy women.
Miss psycho is back again. 😢
Why isn't she doing adult movies instead of screaming around ?
Daisy get's a 10 for that show 🤣🤣🤣
is there a store that sells shopping carts?
She is not homeless…she is clean with clean hair and full makeup and clean clothes. Stupid skateboard is just a prop😂😂😂😂
except feet which are rotten the rest we don't know
She's just acting knowing she's being videoed!!!!!
The lady at the end always see her out 😂
How has the world come to this, with so many homeless people sleeping outdoors?
If I had enough money I would create a camp far away like the mountains so the homeless can stay there for free. If they wanna leave they have to walk back!
Why so they could trash the mountains and start forest fires? Desert is a better place for them
@@southbay_dan_explores..I think you just nailed it that is where they belong not in the city messing everything up
I am wondering where the folks are that use to live on these streets. Were they given advice as where to go for help? My heart breaks for the homeless.
I wouldn't be running around there in my bare feet. Makes me cringe.
Daisy, The pain in the Butt Butterfly!! LOL🤣🤣🤣
Trillions on war zero for homeless
Ah you got it a bit wrong. Billions on homeless...That's why it still going on, don't you see it's a business?
America gives its enemies billions but for the homeless not a penny ,what’s wrong with this world
Daisy make sure that she keep’s everything under control there. 😂
She need to be locked in a looney bin.
I came here to look at miss daisy 🌹😘🇺🇲
Daisy is a bit rambunctious today.
Daisy was a tad over passionate today😉🥰🌴🌊
Where is Daisy's Prince ??
I'm guessing working a job to provide for them since she's not bringing home the bacon.
Where is her onlyfans
Why five cops tho
Tense?
Where's little daisy the best thing about this chanel
Her Bueaty is worked on daily this is all an act
we have the same problem in marin county
She really loves that skateboard
15:51 she should take them in if she loves them so much.
It’s about time
Is she just acting nutty?
Seems like a mix of genuine mental illness with added attention seeking flair. I think she puts on a show and acts crazier than she actually is but should still be on some meds.
No, she is a 51/50
Too bad she's hotty
Surprised to see how inefficient it is.... 5-6 guys standing around and may 2 actually doing the job..very SLOWLY lol
More DAISY!!!❤
Who is that girl?
and its just a matter of time before the mental case of venice shows up!
Are these government employees?😂
To make things easier everyone should help to pick up trash and have the homeless to help out too also police officers instead of keep watching.
Dizzy Daisy the white rabbit 🐰 girl , she's obviously popped the pill 💊 and not the one her mother gave her, for it doesn't do nothing at all 🌀✨👑🎈🎶🎵💖
18:01 so weird seeing cops get in the back of the cop car lol I bet is feels weird for them too. Probably some cops have never seen or experienced. Sitting in the back of a cop car sucks when you mess up and have to lol
I never thought of that. Thanks for pointing out something completely new to me😅
I feel so sorry for Daisy. Yes she can be entertaining to watch, but she needs some help. I hope that somehow she finds the help she needs soon. Very sad.
But she some nice big ole tatas
I think she is in a very good mood ans seems very happy. It´s the opposite of depressive. She has a lot of power and energy.
She is acting you fool 😂
It doesnt matter they aren't trying to fix anything, if they had triple the help the results would be the same
Making room for the immigrant wave
Your MAGAt delusions are covered by Obamacare.
16:18 2 words. Arkham Asylum
city hall is just another of the gangs we have to deal with
Then run for office and make a change instead of just running your mouth.
Any woman that looks like that, chooses to be homeless.
she isn't homeless, just mentally ill
I realize all the issues others have to put up with having homeless near by even property crimes. This needs to end . Homelessness and drug addiction is growing daily . City needs to find land not near homes and make a tent city with rules of how much things can store there . Needs restrooms and toilets and trash bins .THey are still human beings and should be treated with the right to shelter.
I don’t know what it’s like everywhere, but here where I live housing isn’t the issue. The majority refuse social housing of any kind. We have a fentanyl problem here as well. I worked for a few years in the tougher part of the city where the issue is most prevalent. Over two years I called 911 three times to rescue people who overdosed. It was in conversation with the paramedics and other emergency personnel that I learned all of the people have been offered housing and refused. I stand to be corrected, but I don’t think housing is the issue per se.
@@frdm5774 the issue is they want to continue to do drugs and to qualify must be drug free . It's sad how drugs is destroying and making America weak . God Bless you for calling for help . Think God may have given you a halo .
@@RossellaPerry yes, I believe “no rules” is a big part of the homeless community. Though, again, here we give drugs to the addicted. And then call it harm reduction. Madness. Believe it or not, it’s not working.
As for calling for help, while a cynic, I do believe somewhere amidst all the darkness that surrounds the lives of the lost, even in them a diamond of light exists in us all. Perhaps God will reach them… I’m giving out halo’s ;)
You can blame politicians, judges and greedy parasites calling themselves landlords.
The somersault got me.
Why doesn't that lady get a job?
I love Daisy is always out there fighting for Humanity. 🤸♀🤸♀👏👏👍👍
That vile, dog abuser woman should not be allowed to interfere with her despicable, crazy tirades. That violent woman belongs in prison, or a psych ward. She'll end badly, somebody won't take her shit anymore one of these days.
6 policemen not working ?
6 police officers? Love the white guy with the clipboard too
If they don’t care why should we???
Daisy ...you are absolutely stunning!!! 😊
I love the skater girl. She brightens my day!!! Where are you skater girl? If we allow more illegals into California it will just make things less chaotic, and there will be more taco stands, for future generations to enjoy. Also, terrorism will be reduced drastically by the number of peace -loving hippies who simply want to see Jerry and Bob play one more show.
Very sad for homeless - mentals - drugs…
Look bad for L.A.
Hahahaha she wants to me a movie star,,
Where did homeless go
To another streets …
Look very bad in L.A downtown .
@@tuyetvo4353 so it’s just a circle, never ends
LAPD is hiring, folks! yes, you too can deal with this crap!
It’s so sad that daisy is so cute but she doesn’t have any more brains left 😢
You can be crazy and not scream at every body.
Someone is desperately trying to get discovered, but unfortunately for her, horrible actors with botched cosmetic treatments are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, she needs to give it up already.
bro she bipolar
I think the City of Los Angeles hired skateboard girl for entertainment purposes to fight police officer bordem.
FYI Homeless centers in LA are full!!! People are getting stabbed, and stolen from in the homeless shelters due to overcrowding and understaffing!!! Homeless people have nowhere to sleep, and Venice has the most foot traffic, so they stay there to get help from passerby. It's almost like there is plenty of vacant buildings in LA that could be converted into homeless refuge, or resource centers for the homeless. But Nah! You all see them as nonhuman, and treat them as such. It's your petition, and it's your vote, only we the people can vote homeless resources into existence. Next time you're tearing down homeless encampments, think to yourself, where else are they supposed to go?
ANY VETS THAT ARE HOMELESS IN LA COUNTY, there is a resource called Mental Health of America Los Angeles (MHALA) they helped me get into an apartment after being homeless. They have a building in palmdale, which you can take a Metrolink to palmdale, and the city bus will take you nearby, or they have a building in Long Beach as well, but I have no experience with the palmdale center. They have specialists for disability, healthcare, service connection, and housing!
