this is what happens when people don’t have opportunities, this man is very decent, with a good work ethic, i’m sure given the chance he’d make a great contractor, but we’ll never know because he didn’t get some stupid paperwork before his mom died when he was still very young and now he’s stuck on the streets hoping for a miracle and society is completely missing out on his gifts.
This is what capitalism does in reality, that politicians will project as something happening under a socialist system. If the *people* themselves decide on the issue on housing, housing becomes a *right* and not a privilege. This man (and any other homeless person) deserves a home to sleep at night, an education if they wish to get one, a job if education isn't right for them or healthcare for all if they are unable to either study or work. I would forego my chances of becoming a multi-millionaire, let alone a multi-billionaire like those who control the world if it meant every person was allowed these fundamental freedoms in order to pursue happiness and self-realization. I want everyone to have the freedom to work and power to have an equal democratic voice within that workplace, as such we could make our society truly democratic rather than the pitiful excuse for the word we currently "enjoy".
I have provided some information for Mark to pass on to Danial to help give him some options to apply for copies of his vital records. However virtually all options require a mailing address so Danial will need to work with someone/some business to provide him a location to receive mail or alternatively he will need to purchase a PO Box. Hopefully his GoFundMe can help out with securing funds for these + the cost of applications.
One of the problems with getting ID is that there are criminals who steal your ID while you sleep. My brother is homeless and as he slept other people would steal his ID, his cell phone, his food stamps. That is one of the problems with being homeless today.
@@CydnotCharrise1 ok but without it you will continue to be homeless, so really what's the choice? probably good to find a safe place to secure it. with a friend or in a locked stored place nearby. Really refusing to get it isn't a choice, so maybe rent a small storage box in a Private Mail Center. Probably goes without saying, but rather than complain you could have guarded your brother's ID for him.
Articulate, Intelligent, Patriotic and Community minded Daniel displays all these qualities and finds himself being moved on from his unhoused location to another space regularly and for what appears to be no benefit to himself or the local housed community. Daniel wants only to work and get his life back on track but because of a lack of identity documents he is penalised this loss of opportunity means both he and society as a whole does not benefit from the potential this man clearly possesses. About time government and local agencies stop wasting time disrupting and criminalising the unhoused residents and used their budget on schemes that produce results which empower homeless folk to steer themselves toward a settled productive life.
Every day I realize more how classist the government is. It's almost like it's designed to keep the poor poor, and try and strip them of their lives and resources until they're powerless so the rich can live in cities with only other rich people. So frustrating and heartbreaking and unjust.
This country has always functioned this way, since inception. From chattel slavery to economic slavery. The slavers' mindset has not changed overtime, but they have gotten much better in disguising slavery and hiding their opulance.

Yep there reason for the wealth is due to consumerism and his control of the market. Many other parts of the developing world people can at least work and afford rent. These days in the United States many are just scrapping to get by. These stories of life on the street shows how hard it is for people to get the resources needed for a better life.
instead of trying to give those people a job and a roof over the head they force them to move or take away everything that they have left. That's incredibly cruel
@@IIII...... Capitalism causes homelessness, last time I checked the American duopoly consists of two right-wing parties in heavy favor of capitalism-imperialism; as in support of bailing out banks, investment firms and large corporations during economic crises using publicly raised funds, launching endless wars to profit defense contractors, energy and mineral corporations as well as destabilizing sovereign nations, and building the largest surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen. Do you really believe this would happen if Americans decided on issues democratically? Do you think homelessness, widespread poverty, medical bankruptcies, poisoned water supplies and educational debt would exist if the people whose communities the policies effect themselves had the economical-political power to change it? Surely the regular working class American does not hold such contempt for their fellow person that he wishes to rob him of the most minimal of dignity and opportunity to pursue happiness?
That should be criminal to wipe out the resources that people living on the street have. How the hell are people supposed to break out of that situation if the system keeps on wiping them out. That is angering because it's hurtful and debilitating.

@3VIANEJI As a lifelong Californian and Los Angeles County resident, I can say with confidence that first, the answer is affordable housing for both the working classes and the homeless people. There's been a permanent housing shortage for 40 years. Rents have been too high ever since then, as wages haven't kept up with the cost of tent and other essentials. The there's the mental patients, who need good facilities, and addicts needing rehabilitation that works. Last the felons who won't stop with the violent behavior must go back to jail. Good jobs and manufacturing have to return from overseas. There you go. The money is there for all this, but officials and agencies have been stealing the funds for decades. I hope Sheriff Villanueva can stop them this time.

I’m from the UK we have homelessness here but in the US it’s by far worse. It rained earlier after a few sunny days, I was in my kitchen and said out loud to myself I feel so sorry for the homeless when it’s like this. This is very hostile for these people to do these sweeps, the poor people are trying to make the best of what they have and it’s taken away so abruptly. This man is lovely and most homeless people haven’t asked to be in situation. I wish the human race had more empathy.
This guy is so clear minded. I’m naturally very curious what his story is. Really hope he can get an opportunity to get off the street. Edit: man, not being able to get an ID is such a death sentence in this country. It’s so aggravating to see it impact people so severely.
Holy shit, why local goverment didnt do something about it. This man looks like a potential bright tax payer and citizen. There got to be some system which can be taken to help this young man
In the UK sweeps are so different. The police go round at 5-6 am to find any homeless folk, advice them there is a room waiting for them at a shelter and basically get to the shelter by 6pm and its theirs. They give them the rough sleepers team mobile number if they get stuck or get their mobile number to give to the team to check in on them.
I could never survive being homeless, especially with the heat. I feel very sorry for the homeless and wish I could solve it. They all are stronger than I.
Most people would think of homelessness the way you do until it happens to them. Then you adapt and survive, it’s what humans are built for - adaptation.
This young man is extraordinary and bright! I see his potential to do some GREAT things and to be an articulate advocate and protector for the homeless. Also praying for his birth certificate and ID. Wow!
How is it legal to deny someone the ability to obtain ID? How can you be denied access to the document that proves you were born? If no ID is the thing preventing him from getting work why can't the agencies help him???
What a bright young man. And he would even give away his last wish. Those with little truly know what’s important in life. I take for granted everything and everyone I have. God bless him and hope he finds his way
This is highly valuable and virtuous work you are doing. Giving voice to the homeless and discriminated against. Thanking you all, with all my heart! Everything should have changed, in our governance, long ago. The coveting of power and wealth truly is leading mankind astray. For us to ensure our future, we must do all we can together, and practice what we preach in peace. While being prepared to defend ourselves and what is right no matter what. The tiny homes programs are wonderful indeed, and many are building these homes voluntarily.
When i was homeless i carryed everything my guitar was dead weight but i just had to keep it I worked out every day And stayed a good person i had too much pride to ask ppl for money so i collected bottles and did temp jobs i was singed up to several temp agencies i would show up before any one else i would walk all the way accross town Man that life sucked took me a year to get out😜 Thank God Now my life is completely different fun job i love lots of money lots of hours Perfect wife a house a car a cute dog everyone around me is caring and loving everything i ever wanted!!!
It’s amazing a piece of paper can change ones life so drastically. There’s no doubt in my mind he’s a hard worker and a good person. Get this man his birth certificate!!!!😡wish I could help.
I can't understand why he can't get a copy of his birth certificate. This man should seek help from his Congressperson. I think he could obtain documentation from the "system" to help prove his identity. He should start with whatever agency was responsible for his foster home placement. . 💗💗
@Anita M ma’am Republican states require IDs too. Also, Trump took every false claim about voter fraud to court and lost! Over and over he lost. He made that bs up and now the companies that make the software and machines for voting are suiting trump for slander! Reality is, trump is a crook. He’s not on your side at all.
its probably more, most homeless are mentally ill or suffer from addiction, we just dont see it now. If he walked into any homeless clinic, they will help get him a ss card, birth cert and DL, its more than that.
@@Sinha010 Quit it with that excuse, the system is fucked. Poor people in general are VERY financially responsible, they have to be otherwise they'd be screwed. Ask a millionaire how much they spend a week compared to someone making minimum wage, I can guarantee the common person making minimum isn't buying a whole lot of things they want, and its all going to things for their survival like food, rent whatever.
This is what kept me stealing sleeping bags from stores. I didn't really want to but I didn't much have a choice. It was a near every 3 days thing. Each time i risked being thrown in jail and getting a criminal record which would fuck me.
He seems like an very interesting person, made a lot of wise points. I love the end when he said he would give his last wish away. Giving soul. I hope he can get an ID.
@@Tornado63727 hey fool; pay attention. he said he works but without proper ID he is at mercy of folks he has to sign his check over to. Get over your biases & stupidity. I'm in the same situation. Been posting looking for work in Craigslist for 8 months now since restaurants and stores won't hire me without documents. Tried to get a job as a live in housekeeper with a family instead. Unfortunately the only replies I get are calls from perverts trying for a sexual encounter. The issues the homeless face are horrible, we don't need it made worse by bigots like you.
Being from the UK, I find what this extraordinarily humble and nice man is talking about, so unbelievable. We have our own Homelessness issues here but the fact these already unfortunate people are getting kicked whilst they are down, is just beyond what being human is about. In the west we constantly preach to the world how advanced our society’s are, yet the way we treat our most vulnerable, demonstrates how broken our society’s truly are.
He'd be an asset to any community! He could be doing moving work again, he'd be a great manager of an apartment building or something, he could work in a bike shop or even he could be working to help build housing for homeless people! The fact that he can't seem to get his birth certificate is crazy.
When I first watched this video I thought it was from Nigeria. Not because of the black guy but because of the situation. US politicians, shame on you.
I don't know what to say. I am a new subscriber and I really appreciate what u r showing us. This is real life. This is the world where we live. The glamour the soberness everything is meaningless now. Seeing this young man really feels bad and agonizing. I pray to God everyone has a home and I pray to everyone out there please take care of your home. You are blessed, really. Respect to you man! 🙏
Homeless sweeps are just ultra cruel and hurtful! Plain and simple. Pray for this man and all the homeless, they're doing it real tough and they're the unsung heroes of our society 🙏🙏🙏
There are agencies that will help this man get his ID and proof of citizenship. He is smart, young, and able-bodied....so if a lack of documents is the only thing keeping him from working, then I say this mountain can be turned into a mole hill with a little assistance. God bless him.
I can’t understand the sense in these “sweeps” Surely it would less costly to house and help these people until they are able work. It seems to me the authorities are going about this all wrong, treat the symptoms of this epidemic and the symptoms will resolve themselves.
Note to Self; When trying to gain empathy, sympathy, human compassion, charity from others, maybe, just perhaps I should tell people how it is to be out in the rain, in the heat, in the cold, not having food or even enough to eat, access to medications, how I would absolutely love if somebody could or would offer me a job, a place to keep my self clean to go to that job, how I can't keep my cloths clean, how frightened I am, how frightened that I may end up with some kind of illness or disease living out on the streets, how I am frightened about dangerous people out on the streets, or how I may need empathy, compassion, charity to help me with a mental issue, alcohol issue, or drug addiction issue that keeps me from being a productive member of society, or how I don't have any of those issues, but I just need a chance, I just want and need a hand up in life, not a hand out, how I am a diamond in the rough and know full well if I can just get that helping hand, I would absolutely shine some day!!!!!!! 2nd Note to Self; At all costs, no matter what, maybe, just perhaps, don't ever tell anybody, let alone on video for all the world to see, that what pisses me off the most about living on the street is how they keep coming around making me move, or take away, my electric generator, my TV set, my video game controller, my video games, and my mini fridge, from the Public City Sidewalks, maybe, just perhaps, I just might be able to gain some empathy, compassion, charity, a helping hand.
All he needs is id its so ridiculous he can't get it. I never thought about the id problem but I guess that would be a problem. But he looks in good shape and looks like he can work.
I so understand this guy.. as a kid I only had one document that kept me in this country (didn't have a birth certificate.. didn't have an ID until after highschool..) if that one piece of paper had gotten lost.. I'd be in the same boat as this guy..
When he talks about staying out of sight and out of the community... That breaks my heart and I think that's crap! I hate that ANYONE is made to feel that way! As though they don't count! I'm sorry our society has done this to you. You matter. You count. And don't ever think that you are not worthy of being seen. Prayers
I lived in San Fran for a few weeks. I mean people literally lived in tents in front of the apartment I was at. At night, only crazed homeless people walked the streets. I felt very unsafe. The homeless would harrass me and I just had to ignore them and walk away. This problem is complicated. Lets not talk about one side of the story. Homelessness effects everyone, not just homeless people.
the point is that we should be helping homeless people by putting them in homes. criminalization and shit like police sweeps only exacerbates homelessness.
@@ecoterrorism_liker7251 a lot of homeless people don't want to live in homes or aren't mentally stable enough to do so. The problem is we have a huge population of homeless people that either are too mentally ill or too drug addicted and crazy to live in a home. And I'm sure the sweeps existed for a reason. We need to hear both sides of the arguement and until we're objective we won't find the proper solutions. Just giving away homes isnt the solution, I'm sure of it
We need to wage war on homelessness not the homeless!! My God these poor people have it hard enough without having to deal with the city taking their stuff. I've been homeless and what may look like junk to some people is treasures to you because that's all you have. Please Lord Jesus bless this man and the other poor souls having to live on the streets. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen...
About the NY BC's , it is not true that if you loose your ID, you can't get it back. I work with a contractor for NYC Dept. Of Health and they have alternate ID's they accept, like gov letter, utility bills, college/ school transcripts and even a gov agency can request you BC if they work directly with the vital records office by mail or in person. NYC even has pre-adoption BC's if you want them for your files, but they are only informational because the after adoption is the certified one. Don't know about NY state, but with NYC, things can get worked out.
The sweeps by me in Korea town consist of tow trucks impounding stolen cars at the camps, throwing away mountains of bicycle parts from stolen bicycles, and stacks of furniture 🪑 that will just be a huge fire blaze in a week or so. Homeless people do keep it clean and do actually have their items nice and neat and over all nice people, but the people I love by are pretty wild with literally buildings built out of trash turned to crack dens, and stabbings every other day. After a sweep around here, it’s less ambulances speeding down the road.
I understand the plight...but there are legal issues: camping on public sidewalks is basically claiming public lands as personal property, the general public cant use public lands. Then there is the issue, that if the city allows this, they are legally responsible if there was harm to the public. This would result in loss of money that would have gone to serve others in need, and jobs too. I can see both sides. The homeless are seeing the now, the city is seeing the future.
this is what happens when people don’t have opportunities, this man is very decent, with a good work ethic, i’m sure given the chance he’d make a great contractor, but we’ll never know because he didn’t get some stupid paperwork before his mom died when he was still very young and now he’s stuck on the streets hoping for a miracle and society is completely missing out on his gifts.
Governments can be very dangerous to the public well-being as well as helpful, but in this case...
This is what capitalism does in reality, that politicians will project as something happening under a socialist system. If the *people* themselves decide on the issue on housing, housing becomes a *right* and not a privilege. This man (and any other homeless person) deserves a home to sleep at night, an education if they wish to get one, a job if education isn't right for them or healthcare for all if they are unable to either study or work.

Everything should have changed, in our governance, long ago. The coveting of power and wealth truly is leading mankind astray. For us to ensure our future, we must do all we can together, and practice what we preach in peace. While being prepared to defend ourselves and what is right no matter what. The tiny homes programs are wonderful indeed, and many are building these homes voluntarily.
When i was homeless i carryed everything my guitar was dead weight but i just had to keep it
I worked out every day
And stayed a good person i had too much pride to ask ppl for money so i collected bottles and did temp jobs i was singed up to several temp agencies i would show up before any one else i would walk all the way accross town
Man that life sucked took me a year to get out😜
Thank God
Now my life is completely different fun job i love lots of money lots of hours
Perfect wife a house a car a cute dog everyone around me is caring and loving everything i ever wanted!!!
wow congrats, sounds like you paid your dues for sure
✝️🕊️God bless every single one of you. ✝️🕊️ It's so important to speak out loud! Thank you for helping these people get a platform 💖All glory to God
It’s amazing a piece of paper can change ones life so drastically. There’s no doubt in my mind he’s a hard worker and a good person. Get this man his birth certificate!!!!😡wish I could help.
It's criminal
I can't understand why he can't get a copy of his birth certificate. This man should seek help from his Congressperson. I think he could obtain documentation from the "system" to help prove his identity. He should start with whatever agency was responsible for his foster home placement. . 💗💗
@Anita M ma’am Republican states require IDs too.
Also, Trump took every false claim about voter fraud to court and lost! Over and over he lost. He made that bs up and now the companies that make the software and machines for voting are suiting trump for slander! Reality is, trump is a crook. He’s not on your side at all.
@Anita M WHAT? You think this guy would vote Republican? You're nuts. 😳
its probably more, most homeless are mentally ill or suffer from addiction, we just dont see it now. If he walked into any homeless clinic, they will help get him a ss card, birth cert and DL, its more than that.
Reminder: Most of us are 2 to 3 missed paychecks away from this.
Because most of y'all are financially irresponsible
@@Sinha010 Quit it with that excuse, the system is fucked. Poor people in general are VERY financially responsible, they have to be otherwise they'd be screwed. Ask a millionaire how much they spend a week compared to someone making minimum wage, I can guarantee the common person making minimum isn't buying a whole lot of things they want, and its all going to things for their survival like food, rent whatever.
This is what kept me stealing sleeping bags from stores. I didn't really want to but I didn't much have a choice. It was a near every 3 days thing. Each time i risked being thrown in jail and getting a criminal record which would fuck me.
LoL, petty theft & tresspassing is how we get out of the weather.
The jails got everything you need & dont have on the streets
He seems like an very interesting person, made a lot of wise points. I love the end when he said he would give his last wish away. Giving soul. I hope he can get an ID.
NY adoption records have opened up in the last two years.
Lord God, have mercy upon this man, upon others in his condition. Please bring solutions Abba.
He is fit & able, he should be working! Someone just give this guy a job.
He don’t want a job
He could have a disability for all we know, mental illness is considered a disability
How will he get there,where will be get ready for work(shower)
@@Tornado63727 hey fool; pay attention. he said he works but without proper ID he is at mercy of folks he has to sign his check over to. Get over your biases & stupidity. I'm in the same situation. Been posting looking for work in Craigslist for 8 months now since restaurants and stores won't hire me without documents. Tried to get a job as a live in housekeeper with a family instead. Unfortunately the only replies I get are calls from perverts trying for a sexual encounter. The issues the homeless face are horrible, we don't need it made worse by bigots like you.
@@Tornado63727 watch the video before you comment ignorantly
Gods bless him. His heart is definitely in the right place.
😊🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Being from the UK, I find what this extraordinarily humble and nice man is talking about, so unbelievable. We have our own Homelessness issues here but the fact these already unfortunate people are getting kicked whilst they are down, is just beyond what being human is about. In the west we constantly preach to the world how advanced our society’s are, yet the way we treat our most vulnerable, demonstrates how broken our society’s truly are.
He'd be an asset to any community! He could be doing moving work again, he'd be a great manager of an apartment building or something, he could work in a bike shop or even he could be working to help build housing for homeless people! The fact that he can't seem to get his birth certificate is crazy.
You really fall for that? Wow
@I Coroa
Wow . Guitar guy forms an opinion and you don't like it, so you form one of him and attack him. Do you even see the irony?
When I first watched this video I thought it was from Nigeria. Not because of the black guy but because of the situation. US politicians, shame on you.
@I Coroa If he wants to be homeless everything is fine, otherwise not.
Keep your head up God bless you and love you
I don't know what to say. I am a new subscriber and I really appreciate what u r showing us. This is real life. This is the world where we live. The glamour the soberness everything is meaningless now. Seeing this young man really feels bad and agonizing. I pray to God everyone has a home and I pray to everyone out there please take care of your home. You are blessed, really. Respect to you man! 🙏
Lord protect him and help him to get the help he need in Jesus name Amen.🙌👍🙏🙏
I will ask the Easter bunny, there's as much proof he exists and will intervene. We are in control of our own lives unfortunately.
You sit in your middle class home and pray for this guy? Please wake up.
Soooo, people can't pray anymore? Wow
@@LockThePocket prayer that isn’t backed up by action and actually trying to help people suffering in your area is not thoughtful, it’s insulting.
@@LockThePocket people are free to do as they please, but it aint gonna help anyone!. Actions speak louder than words or prayers.
Seems like a good and intelligent guy. Hope resources are available to get the things he needs. Best of luck to him.
I'm so sorry so many humans are so uncaring. It breaks my ❤ to hear these stories.
:( just prayed.
He's amazing! Praying for him!
i want to see a cop or a politician sleep rough for a few months then theyll get it until then its blowing smoke
Homeless sweeps are just ultra cruel and hurtful! Plain and simple. Pray for this man and all the homeless, they're doing it real tough and they're the unsung heroes of our society 🙏🙏🙏
You are enough! You are as good or even better then most!
Keep believing in you!!
Best and most heartful interview period ! He is a great American and he has to be able to get his Birth certificate
This country treats Homeless ANIMALS better than Our FELLOW HUMANS❗
They kill most of them so.... Not quite...
There are agencies that will help this man get his ID and proof of citizenship. He is smart, young, and able-bodied....so if a lack of documents is the only thing keeping him from working, then I say this mountain can be turned into a mole hill with a little assistance. God bless him.
Praying for this man and all the homeless just trying to survive. 🙏
This man is very intelligent and well spoken
such a good guy with potential that was robbed of opportunities of basic human needs.
cried half way through it
Praying for you Daniel, that you get a home and a good job.
I wish good for all of the homeless people. May God Bless them all. Lilly
God bless you.
So great giving a voice to the homeless.
Good luck take care xx from the U.k. x
I can’t understand the sense in these “sweeps” Surely it would less costly to house and help these people until they are able work. It seems to me the authorities are going about this all wrong, treat the symptoms of this epidemic and the symptoms will resolve themselves.
@I Coroa it sucks. The richest country in the world and that’s how they treat their own citizens. Awful. Meanwhile Elon musk pays no tax...☹️
It s just assholes abusing their power
@@matthewmiller9575 this is not in Luxembourg
House them where?
@@lavinder11 social housing, or suitable care facilities. Make billionaires, mega corps, giant pharma pay their taxes. That’ll cover the cost.
Beautiful, intelligent, young man! Sad this is happening!!!!!
Note to Self;
When trying to gain empathy, sympathy, human compassion, charity from others, maybe, just perhaps I should tell people how it is to be out in the rain, in the heat, in the cold, not having food or even enough to eat, access to medications, how I would absolutely love if somebody could or would offer me a job, a place to keep my self clean to go to that job, how I can't keep my cloths clean, how frightened I am, how frightened that I may end up with some kind of illness or disease living out on the streets, how I am frightened about dangerous people out on the streets, or how I may need empathy, compassion, charity to help me with a mental issue, alcohol issue, or drug addiction issue that keeps me from being a productive member of society, or how I don't have any of those issues, but I just need a chance, I just want and need a hand up in life, not a hand out, how I am a diamond in the rough and know full well if I can just get that helping hand, I would absolutely shine some day!!!!!!!
2nd Note to Self;
At all costs, no matter what, maybe, just perhaps, don't ever tell anybody, let alone on video for all the world to see, that what pisses me off the most about living on the street is how they keep coming around making me move, or take away, my electric generator, my TV set, my video game controller, my video games, and my mini fridge, from the Public City Sidewalks, maybe, just perhaps, I just might be able to gain some empathy, compassion, charity, a helping hand.
That is exactly what they had me do on my birth certificate form. I answered all the questions and info they needed.
"To serve and protect".
What a joke.
Police moto should be:
"To clean up and collect".
America is the greatest country on earth. He is right. A person can be homeless, and he or she can still eat and have electricity. Amazing.
God bless this dear man.
May he get a home soon.
All he needs is id its so ridiculous he can't get it. I never thought about the id problem but I guess that would be a problem. But he looks in good shape and looks like he can work.
He doesn’t want to work
You are GOOD ENOUGH !!!!!! People who have a HOME & MONEY are they really ENOUGH????
YOU ARE WORTHY AND LOVED….
Thank you for sharing!
Homelessness is epidemic.
If I ever I have a platform.... I will share my personal experience. I’m numb still......
God bless you
Very very nice guy, thanks for sharing my friend 🙏👍
love how he provided the customary 'god bless america' at the end, even just to praise homelessness. That's to stay positive, thou.
I so understand this guy.. as a kid I only had one document that kept me in this country (didn't have a birth certificate.. didn't have an ID until after highschool..) if that one piece of paper had gotten lost.. I'd be in the same boat as this guy..
When he talks about staying out of sight and out of the community... That breaks my heart and I think that's crap! I hate that ANYONE is made to feel that way! As though they don't count! I'm sorry our society has done this to you. You matter. You count. And don't ever think that you are not worthy of being seen. Prayers
Amen Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
It dose suck.
many homeless are actually hiding from the homeless.
Those shelter gatherings are dirty rude places.
They can lock you up and let you leave with no ID but won’t help him to get his life together by getting his birth certificate. Disgrace
America is a total dystopia now, thanks to these oligarchs in charge.
This is a humanitarian crisis.
That’s so wrong. Where are peoples hearts? Wow.
I lived in San Fran for a few weeks. I mean people literally lived in tents in front of the apartment I was at. At night, only crazed homeless people walked the streets. I felt very unsafe. The homeless would harrass me and I just had to ignore them and walk away.
This problem is complicated. Lets not talk about one side of the story. Homelessness effects everyone, not just homeless people.
the point is that we should be helping homeless people by putting them in homes. criminalization and shit like police sweeps only exacerbates homelessness.
@@ecoterrorism_liker7251 a lot of homeless people don't want to live in homes or aren't mentally stable enough to do so. The problem is we have a huge population of homeless people that either are too mentally ill or too drug addicted and crazy to live in a home.
And I'm sure the sweeps existed for a reason. We need to hear both sides of the arguement and until we're objective we won't find the proper solutions.
Just giving away homes isnt the solution, I'm sure of it
So sorry !
Poverty is a business for the state. They will never get rid of it.
We need to wage war on homelessness not the homeless!! My God these poor people have it hard enough without having to deal with the city taking their stuff. I've been homeless and what may look like junk to some people is treasures to you because that's all you have. Please Lord Jesus bless this man and the other poor souls having to live on the streets. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen...
Bless 🙌 up, king 🙏... you deserve a good life
About the NY BC's , it is not true that if you loose your ID, you can't get it back. I work with a contractor for NYC Dept. Of Health and they have alternate ID's they accept, like gov letter, utility bills, college/ school transcripts and even a gov agency can request you BC if they work directly with the vital records office by mail or in person. NYC even has pre-adoption BC's if you want them for your files, but they are only informational because the after adoption is the certified one. Don't know about NY state, but with NYC, things can get worked out.
I'd vote for this man for President.
Thinking of you Daniel. I hope you get some good luck 🙏💛
Prayers up to my brother hope he becomes a millionaire 1 day 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Protection And May He And Others Obtain Shelter And Love
~°~
Mark bummed him out about the tiny house and the birth certificate but, hope it all works out for Daniel.
HA! I learned today he went into one of the tiny shacks. I’m going to try and connect with him next week.
Brother you gotta get out of that condition
They’ve literally made homelessness a hex on the person affected.
The sweeps by me in Korea town consist of tow trucks impounding stolen cars at the camps, throwing away mountains of bicycle parts from stolen bicycles, and stacks of furniture 🪑 that will just be a huge fire blaze in a week or so.
Homeless people do keep it clean and do actually have their items nice and neat and over all nice people, but the people I love by are pretty wild with literally buildings built out of trash turned to crack dens, and stabbings every other day. After a sweep around here, it’s less ambulances speeding down the road.
How do you even get an ID without proof of residency (address)? The system is stacked against homeless individuals.
God got your back, have faith and beleive
Praying
Polite man. This man deserves better. MUCH BETTER. this guy is sooooooooooo impressive. I would love to have him as a room mate.
I understand the plight...but there are legal issues: camping on public sidewalks is basically claiming public lands as personal property, the general public cant use public lands. Then there is the issue, that if the city allows this, they are legally responsible if there was harm to the public. This would result in loss of money that would have gone to serve others in need, and jobs too. I can see both sides. The homeless are seeing the now, the city is seeing the future.
As we all do, the homeless are living "the now".
I WISH him THE BEST
😇true👍I love what he said about loving America
