Many have addictions and would rather live on the street because they can’t follow the rules that the government sets for them if they decide to get government services like staying clean etc.
As the wife of an Army Vet ..i know this is old, but the words homeless and Veterans should never have to be in the same sentence. I pray this brother will remain safe and at peace.❤️🤞🏾
@@roodick85 ohhhhh how I wish it were that easy. You are right too. It literally makes me physically ill to see a homeless veteran..( I feel empathy for all homeless..don't get me wrong) but to see our sisters and brothers who have literally given themselves for this country have to be without really breaks my spirit. Don't get me started on the treatment or lack therefore from some of the staff who works for the VA facilities. Not all of them, but I know Veterans who have had terrible experiences and I have personally witnessed rude/disrespectful staff. 💔😩🙏🏾
I'm from India, and you know what. He is trying to live his life and not disturbing anyone other than that Karen and other people in that station. Get a life
Thank you!! You’re much kinder than most Fox News viewers!! This man is a US Veteran and he’s harming NO ONE!!! The gov should be taking better care of Vets and they wouldn’t have to build their own homes on the sidewalk!!
The administration has to do a better job with our veteran population/ the effort has to be reciprocated from the veteran population as well.. I have seen first hand how veterans act when they are getting all of their desires given to them and it’s reprehensible… There is so much funding available to assist the veteran population.. Some work the program and successful attain their erstwhile desires and then there are those whom let their addictions control them and it’s so very sad…
Yeah, their incredibly abrasive take on this speaks volumes about Fox 11. This is my first impression of LA's reporting and it seems like they are very Anti-American. Is all LA reporting on the homeless this disgusting?
Yes!!! Their attitude towards this man is ridiculous, like it’s effecting them! and it’s the very reason why the world is like it is today! One would have thought their attitudes would have been, “wow, how can I help?” Not, “how despicable!” A SHAME!!!! 🤦🏽♀️
Those people just made themselves look bad. He’s already in a bad situation. They’re appalled with his resilience and are mad that he’s getting by in a way within his means and not wallowing in self pity. Good for him that he’s not letting people out of touch with humanity mess around with his sense of dignity.
Very well said. This is becoming a trend with people. I'm starting to find that people get uncontrollably agitated when they see that someone less fortunate can find joy in simplicity. Yall b safe!
@@joyvzpain1582facts! Like why are people angry that they didn't think of it first? So what if they have to pay for stuff and he didn't? Figure out a way to navigate this system 🤷🏿♀️. Rich people do it all the time....that's how they stay rich. They just mad that the not so privileged classes are figuring out the cheat codes....so now they are worried
Dude is industrious, resourceful, independent, and clearly gives a damn about the outward aesthetics which effect the social ecosystem around him. Mad respect for this dude!
They actually called the cops, the other guy asked if he was paying property tax and that lady asked if he’s paying a utility bill by using the city’s electricity? This is a perfect example of how heartless and cold this society is we live in 7:37
The news reporters in the station are saying everything to discredit this man .. there are truly horrible people in this world .. the fact he built this says a lot about him.. I WISH THIS BROTHER THE BEST 🤴🏾
@@phoenixflower1225 Not always…. some of these reporters come from broke butt backgrounds and are just putting on a front…. Believe me, I’ve seen it, they sometimes can be the worst.
The VA actually does find services and housing for you. If you are on low to no income while in the military, the VA offers you free housing and a federal job to get you on your feet, the housing is temporary until a nearby military installation has housing available or whenever you feel ready to take a VA house loan. The only rules you must follow while spieling with the VA is that you must not be on any form of federal illegal drugs or prescriptions. Normal homeless housing is terrible and is worse than living on the streets, VA homelessness housing is a lot better and actually treats you as a human being.
The fact that he called the police on him is sick. He's homeless, and doesn't want to be surrounded by hundreds of other people in homeless "housing". They really want a homeless man with a generator to pay a LIGHT BILL and PROPERTY TAX?
What composure ? It’s called shameless. I grew up dirt poor and came from a third world country with My mom , unfortunately for me , she passed when I was 18. , I work my azz off, no ged or high school diploma, I’m now 35 and I own my own property. I’m half of this man size . What is this guys excuse ?
They embarrassed theirselves by saying so he’s got a generator and a extension cord does he pay a power bill ? No he steals the power from his generator
@@bbgen-sp6ns That's an awesome story but that's your story. Let this man live his life not by your standards but by his. So entitled to think your way or ways are best.

Also what's your nationality because this country has a long standing issue with those of the diaspora and foundational black Americans! Point is enjoy your come up but don't compare your history with ours. Your struggles started in the place you left where I assume the rest of your nation still sits in those struggles!
They totally ignored the facts that he's an army vet. That's the thanks you get for serving this country for these ungrateful people. No compassion, no sympathy, not a helpful or wishful thought is really sad.
Shame on the crew for trying to humiliate him!!! Very distasteful!! She kept nagging “Is he stealing electricity from the city?” No! If you were listening, he clearly said he has a generator! I’m glad he kept his cool and finished with grace and a smile. Prayers for him! 🙏🏾
I don’t agree. I’m skeptical that he built it in such a busy spot. If hundreds of people do this it’s going to drive down the beauty of the local area. He could build that place in a more remote location and do fine. I slept out in the woods with homeless people and am a military vet myself.
The scumbag reporter said "he" called to Police to see if something can be done? Nothing worse than someone who has a Home complaining about people who have nothing! Unbelievable.
As a 10 year Army veteran myself, one thing I can tell you is that the Army does a good job teaching you how to survive as a homeless person. Kudos to my fellow veteran brother. "Improvise, adapt, and overcome."
The thing is , this guy doesn't sound like or act like some homeless person on drugs or the like . He's got potential and needs the encouragement to move forward.
He's also extremely talented at working on people's bikes without their permission. I live in that area. I had my high-end racing bike stolen so I put up flyers all over the neighborhood. The eatery across the street called me saying that they saw him with my bike. I met the police there. I was so lucky that I got it back before he stripped it apart. It took me 2 years to save up for that bike! He also had 11 other expensive bikes stuffed in that "house".
How shameful is this news station is to treat this man in such a judgemental way. He's obviously doing his best to hold onto to his dignity in hard circumstances.
Right, the news report was realt shady. The reporter acted like he almost hurt him to say he was a Veteran. Unfortunately, here in our Veterans aren’t treated the best.. Hell the average citizen is treated with respect
Why does he get to live free, when I have to pay for my grass to cut every week, a plummer, people to clean my pool, fix cracks new roof, termites, of course I'm mad because he's happy with his life being free yes I'm MAD.
Yet, these dumb reporters have no smoke with the illegals receiving free benefits! Free healthcare, rent, money and etc! And they want to belittle this fellow Veteran! 😡
Guy seems coherent, constructive, and has a desire to work. I hope his plans to start a business pan out. He didn't trash the area like so many others do, even had decorative plants outside his home.
The flower plant on the outside of his home made me emotional. This guy deserves a good life, I hope someone in La can hire him so he can show the world his gifts. God bless
He doesn’t want to be hired. He wants to start his own business. That’s the problem. We’re so far gone that people get mad when others try to live for themselves. Like “Whaaaatt??? You’re not giving all your money to corporations and the government? You’re not sacrificing your life to make wealthy corporations even wealthier so their kids can also be wealthy while yours stay poor? You’re not feeding a machine that will eat you alive when it has nothing else to take from you? Thats not fair! I do it, you should have to, too!” The reality is what has become our norm is extremely fucked up and corrupt, it’s a disgusting perversion of what human life should be like. We’re treated like objects, not living beings. And people want to put all the nice faces on all these different monsters we’ve incorporated as normal but they’re not nice, they’re not pretty, they’re not good. We have become soulless. We need to get back to a lifestyle where we can have small communities where you can do something good for yourself and take care of yourself and your loved ones without anyone else feeling like they deserve part of your income for nothing, really. The government is supposed to serve us. But it hasn’t in hundreds of years. We have been enslaved to it. It’s proven that it’s a bad system. It’s time to move on and come up with something better. Something healthier, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, in every sense. This isn’t it. We can do much better.
He doesn't want to work he said that in the video. It has nothing to do with him not having things available. He wants to live how he wants with no rules or thoughts of his neighbors.
Why does he deserve a good life? You have no ideal who he is or what his background is. You don't know if he's hurt people, killed, robbed. You don't know anything about him. But some flowers hanging tells you automatically he deserves something.
The lack of compassion and ignorance is astounding. This man served his country. He provides for himself by fixing bikes and scooters. He's not blocking the walkway. He respectful and polite. There were people who were ok with him being there. Those anchors go to their homes at night blessed with all those things and yes they earn a salary because of news reports such as this. They believe they are paid what they are worth because of their experience, knowledge and skills. Why isn't that same monetary value placed on our veterans with their knowledge, expertise, experience and skills. There is no monetary value high enough for someone risking their lives for their country and it's freedoms, something those anchors wouldn't have if individuals like this gentleman hadn't served.
He's not bothering anyone, plus he doesn't seem to be a drug addict or have a mental illness. He looks like a great guy who fell in hard times. I really dislike how the female from channel 11 was attacking him. I hope things work out for this young man. God bless him!
@@absolutefreedom9437yes, or do you need to have to government hold your hand as they do 437 permits and 27 months to start putting one piece of wood down before you need 15 inspections before you put the second piece of wood. It so weird how much it bothers individuals that other people are doing good for themselves and advancing their lives. What if all those public places the homeless people are camping become homes and they get to live there? Surely you will have an aneurysm because you will be thinking… wait I want to claim it all for myself and charge rent and become yet another parasite upon society. The hard thing for you people to grasp is the homeless aren’t the parasites… it’s the landlords that are the parasites. They’re the ones that need other people to pay for them to live. The homeless are the ones that are getting tired of it. You’re bothered not by the homelesss, you’re being bothered by the land lords and real estate companies playing games with property… which is supposed to be guaranteed by the 14th amendment.
He's fine. What tables need to be turned? Did you see that house? He's comfortable and knows exactly what he is doing. He's smart and saving so much money. When rich people find loopholes and exploit them people applaud them. That's what he is doing. Exploiting a loophole. He's a genius. He's choosing to live like that. If I wasn't on a lease I would do it in a second.
They were expecting a totally different person. He was respectful, honest and upfront. They were trying to find something wrong with him. Her question, "where is he getting power from". His question, "is he paying taxes". Not one question about him as a person.
@@murielodette2995 A lot of these modern journalists are "dumb blondes". They know very little and are hired because they look good on camera, which is good for ratings.
Yeah the only real difference between him and the people living in tents is resourcefulness. If the city really wanted to eliminate homelessness they wouldn't allow anyone to live in tents on the street.
Back in 2007, during my time working in real estate, I witnessed people purchasing newly built homes from builders with the plan to sell them before the closing of escrow to another buyer for a profit. The crash hit hard and fast, and I vividly recall many of these units ending up foreclosed upon, with the builder's plastic still covering the carpets.
I get such worries. I'm 50 and retiring early. Already worried of the future and where its headed, especially in terms of finances and how to get by. I'm also considering making my first investment in the stock market, but how can I do so given that the market has been in a mess for the majority of the year?
@@izagdlife invest in stocks especially during a recession . While recessions can be tough, they can also offer good chances to buy low and sell high in the markets if you're cautious. Just remember, this is not financial advice, but it's a good time to think about buying stocks since having cash on hand isn't always the best option.
@@izagdlife Understanding your financial needs and making effective decisions is very essential. If I could advise you, you should seek the help of a financial advisor. For the record, working with one has been the best for my finances...

I like how Phil ignored Marla’s irritating question about the electricity and ignored it a 2nd after he said “I’m listening” 😂 I respect Phil for respecting Q
He stands straight, kept his language clean. And its amazing that he still had ambition and selfworth that he’s planning to pick himself up instead of expecting assistance from others. He doesnt come off as a bad person. Just a victim of bad situations and consequence.. And why is that woman so condescending to the guy??
The female reporter kept trying to exploit the gentleman asking about the usage of the city's electricity. The male reporter kept ignoring her, then finally answered her by saying no. Great job and good luck to this gentleman. He's no longer homeless.
Notice that a lot with women reporters. The men will usually sort of defend eachother unconsciously in certain situations where women are trying to unnecessarily vilify men
Marla is rude and prejudiced. You can see and hear how badly she wanted to demean and "catch" him trying to abuse the system or commit a crime. Terrible behavior when he's clearly one of the few that are trying to do something with themselves.
But he is abusing the system. As the reporter noted, all the businesses in that area are paying high fees to maintain their structures while he just set up his own camp.
@laurenell1112 what fees should he be paying? He built the domicile/shelter himself and provides his own electricity with generators and moves the entire thing when necessary, like cleaning and other reasons. To be honest, it's essentially an RV. Edited for spelling/grammar.
@@ShinM. RVs are on the street, he is on the sidewalk. I view it as a structure, other people are paying high costs to be in structures in that area, he is paying nothing. It becomes more of an issue when other people start doing the same as him.
@laurenell1112 so he can just put it on the street and you're okay with it? I'm sure he can do that. It's completely mobile and is on wheels. And what do you mean he pays nothing? He pays all the taxes he is supposed to. He pays state sales tax, he doesn't have a job to be taxed on and he doesn't own land so he doesn't pay any of those either. Do you complain about corporations or business owners defrauding the government on their taxes as well? I mean, companies and their owners avoid billions in taxes every year. This guy would probably generate under 15k a year. Just say you're racist or classist instead of trying to justify it with prejudiced idealogy.
The 2nd news broadcaster could use some compassion. How in the hell is he going to pay taxes, and he's homeless! He'd be taking power from the City if he stayed in one of those shelters! I'm proud of him! He built all of that with no money and donated materials! He has no running water, and he's not asking for charity. He's trying to work odds and end jobs to get his own money!Give him a break!
Well said this man is homeless and js working his way up… not begging for money. His creativity of building his house with recycled and unused materials is amazing 🤩
But I have to pay rent for my house. He doesn't. He gets everything for free while we foot the bill. Yeah, this guy isn't a problem but this will eventually start happening everywhere. It can't keep happening. This isn't helping anyone. This kills neighborhoods and isn't helping the man himself. All we are doing is enabling homelessness by not doing anything about it. I have no issue with this man personally but why are we allowing this?
@justine yes indeed my son is a veteran from the army and he was injured and had to come back from Afghanistan he is my only son yet he still served!!! They don't get help and I didn't see him for many years not knowing if he was alive one day he just popped in the door with PTSD and anxiety and has to deal with it every day. That's just a little bit of the issue that's why I'm upset that news anchor just bitched about not getting a bill then get him an apartment they do it all the time for the white community he can get one too!!! But I can see that she is racist just because he's not white she is running her mouth. Okay I'll have to check on this veteran one year later. Peace ✌️🕊️
Socal qnd the rest of california are going to become fucking slums in the next 20 years. It's disgusting. Why do the people with no money always try to live in the most expensive places? 😒 If these people actually wanted to do anything with their lives and not just breed more useless leaches they would move to the thousands of cheaper places to live in the US. Instead they leach off of government services.
@neal cassady yeah and non of them pay property tax... While the ones who pay property tax are the ones paying for the city cleaners to clean up their trash.
"Does he take power from the city, because he doesn't get a power bill." Imagine being a grown adult and not realizing a generator takes gasoline or diesel.
@@leroygreen9227i despised both desk reporters then? And i despise them today. I was so disgusted with them both i think i had to seek therapy afterwards. Hate at it's finest
Lmfaoo everyone is just a few paychecks away from this Jimmy. Have some compassion 🙄 the place isnt an eye sore he could have trash everywhere and it’s much better looking than a tent regardless whether he’s here on his own poor choices or not he’s a human being he is gonna exist somewhere I’d rather see this on the street outside my business then a bunch of shit piled up 🙃🙃 but sure go ahead and judge him and the struggles you’ve never had 👍🏼
It’s sad to see that the reporters have no sympathy for this man’s situation. He’s simply trying to make the most of his life in a terrible environment!
This interview was disrespectful and he was so gracious and humble to even entertain this foolishness. Someone will see this and help him in a real mighty way. Keep going young man! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I LOVE this guy! 😂 He is so nonchalant about everyone’s opinions of him and what he’s doing. Meanwhile, he just wants to be and continue being an entrepreneur! Bless him 🙏
@winterbreak Lol the city of LA has zero intentions on helping him. The reporters were just throwing out hypotheticals with nothing in place to back what they were offering.
Let’s not forget something here, this man CHOOSES to live this way! And the fact that he served his Country, I say let him live there. God bless him and I hope he stays safe and lives the way he chooses to live, not how others think he should live. ❤
I love how the female reporter tried to accuse him of stealing electricity when he clearly said he has a generator. She doesn't understand how generators work and it went over her head, maybe the nice resourceful veteran can teach you a few things.
This exposure is his elevation. What they desired for evil, to humiliate & take away any remaining dignity he possessed, he showed himself composed & peace and MORE in his right mind than the people who questioned him. Clothes don’t make a man. He is a soul. A spirit. And a body. With the capacity of his being, and the aid of His Creator this man his literally pulling himself up from his boot straps-out of nothing to something. I salute you. My prayers go with you.
I'm glad that this man is working on his life no matter what type of housing he is currently in. The fact that he built his own house says that he is determined to be successful.
He refused proper help because he doesn't want to comply with the terms and conditions set, instead he chose to break even more laws by occupying public space and not paying taxes to the town council. He is a thief.
A lot of those shelters are abusive and degrading. Many go and then decide they never want to go back cause what's a shelter if you're treated like dirt inside. They'd rather have their freedom and make their own way. If they didn't and took assistance from the government, you'd call them thieves for that too.@@firedup692
@@firedup692Taxes are theft. That's why we had the Revolutionary War. This man is showing us what the American Dream is supposed to be. Rather have this than the hellscape that is San Francisco at the moment!
4:58 the woman accuses him of stealing electricity when he just said a few sentences earlier that he has his own generator! It baffles me how people can make such a big deal about this beautiful, artistic, well-built construction, rather than dealing with the eyesore trash of other homeless encampments. We really need to designate empty lots to be for anyone willing to put effort into an organized and well-built living place.
Imagine every homeless person builds a “house” like this on the streets. Do you know how unsanitary and chaotic that would make things. People like you think this utopian world exists where homeless people can do nothing for society but give them rights to build shacks on public sidewalks. California will soon be a socialist state.
Ikr & the reporter interviewing seemed irritated when she kept interrupting to say he was stealing electric & milking off the city. I thought he was going to tell her it's a generator run by gas & I was thinking "oh nooooo they're going to freak about the gas, thank God he didn't say anything
Which also gets to one of the cores of this issue..Part of the hatred for the homeless is due to the fact that many who have mortgages and property work extemely hard to afford it or cannot afford it. Instead of admitting that they hate someone who is not slaving away to debt due to jealousy, they trash the homeless and call the police guns. F*** this reporter. Bank should take his money and his house until he gets his shit right.
The lady was so judgmental. You could literally see it in her facial expression. You really never know what may happen in life that may result to any of us being in this situation including her. I’m very proud of him for evening thinking to use what he had to build a home for himself.
You mean the black woman in the business? She was giving me heavy, " I feel like I'm going to be raped" vibes. Or did you mean that annoying reporter in the studio? yeah she was a terrible name I want to say , but I wont.
@@doro626 I mean the news anchor she was clearly judgmental. The black woman your referring to appears to be minding her business trying to avoid the camera.
Not really. Just the fact that if your day to day person would built something like this on their own property city inspector will force you to tear it down. Everyone has to follow the rules. But I do believe this guy carry himself with a positive attitude. He deserves to be given a chance to get a job.
This interview was disgusting! The fact that the reporter called the police on him as part of the interview was mind blowing! And the belittling questions and commentary from the female anchor was appalling as well! God bless you Q and thank you for your service!
When they see anyone escaping the system, their first reaction is to get them back in. "If you found a program that gave you free housing, facilities and training, would you take it?" They've been brainwashed
That's was out of line I've seen this man plenty of times on TH-cam and not one of the other ppl that stopped to ask him questions said anything about call the cops they thought it was neat that he made a shelter for himself. So messed up of the reporting crew. Seems they don't like the fact he isn't hurting anyone by just surviving.
Shame on the reporters for there arrogance and trying to belittle him. He seems like such a humble and pleasant man still holding his head high God bless him
The problem is this man has no shame. Shame on you for not recognizing that. If this is allowed then we coulld all just start building wherever we felt comfortable...without shame. Come on. This is ridiculous and totally shameless!
@@ginanotafan1039 No one is a terrible person on either side. What makes you the judge of who is a good and bad person? He is breaking the law, and if everyone built a structure wherever they decided they wanted to live we would live in utter chaos and probably violence. There is a reason that you cant just build a structure in the middle of the sidewalk.
I can’t believe how hateful the news crew was! I’m glad he kept his composure. This is how we treat our veterans. It’s so sad. I hope he succeeds with his future plans.
In America you go jail for trying to survive a honest living while the real criminals continue to walk the streets smh shout out to this vet keep grinding brother 🙏🏽
I am sick at heart, soul, mind and body. Leave this American citizen alone!!! I grew up in the military, a child of our noble U.S. Navy my dad serving at Pearl Harbour, he was a hero saving many lives as the West Virginia was going down the water was in flames as oil was covering the port my dad kept on rescuing despite his burns and pain. I loved the military l still do, l was and am so proud to be his daughter he has passed but what he taught me was not spoken in words so much as it was in action, self discipline, courage, protection of Americans our homeland, the will to know right from wrong and do that, fight for that. What is happening to those values??? Has my life been a big lie? OUR VETS building a home on the streets, living in tents, physical and mental illness beyond imagination. These heros were promised care, support, a reason for their bravery service, to freedom with all their might they gave life the best part of their life to the idea of life, liberty for all and America gives them a tent, life on the streets, many of our men & women drug affected , mentally handicapped, physically in great pain due to waring events knowing that where is help for them? It appears all America can do is say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I see America becoming weaker, as our leadership grabs more and more of self serving interests in the name of goodness having never served one hour of true honest to God service it looks to me like all of them suffer from bone spurs. It also appears to me l have been living a big big lie at the expense of land of the brave home of the free, give me your tired and your poor to do what with. It was all a lie as truth offers truth and my heart breaks at the loss, as we hide the idea of good when action showsits face to be bad, a lie upon lie, cover up after cover up. I feel like a mushroom, feed me shit, keep me in the dark is that the end of all? I say provide for vets keep your promise AMERICA or get out of my way as l struggle to overcome your lies.

The news lady and the man with her think they humiliated him, when reality they made themselves look heartless. What a way to treat a veteran. I pray for him. The only acceptable comment she made was “he’s resourceful”
I love how when the woman asks about the "power bill", instead of cutting him off and asking that, he let the man finish and asked, "are you happy?". < 3
These two reporters can’t seem to CONTAIN their disdain! Did they forget that this was live TV? Did you see him grimace after insisting it was blocking the sidewalk…unwarranted hate! To call these two heartless would be kind. They tried to remain calm but couldn’t seem to contain their hate. They couldn’t even fake care and compassion. I can only imagine how they really feel about this homeless man. They don’t even know him. I truly believe that people like this aren’t human.
The mans also contributing to society, he is fixing peoples ways of travel for cheaper, paying for fuel which goes to the government, paying for food which goes to the government, i think he well earned his right to reside on that sidewalk, infact he deserves better than those disgusting reporters.

People like that, full of hate against the people they cant undertstand are the ones causing all of the problems in the world. If only compassion was mandatory for everyone the world would be greener.
Couldn’t have said any better 👏 the world is full of wicked people like this. Fortunately, you can see the care & compassion from the reporter interviewing him
I can tell Marla nor her co-anchor, has ever been without a day in their lives, because if they had, they would have empathy & compassion for this man. I wish him good health, love, peace, and prosperity. Amen 🙏🏽
Or they're upset that they work daily for jobs they hate, people they tolerate all to support a lifestyle that leaves them unsatisfied. Lol they're really upset that a man living on the street and built a home from scraps yet has dreams, hope and joy

Lowkey you could tell the male reporter was trying to not give the female reporter any ammo with the stealing power from the city line. Dude even covered for him and said "No the generator isn't taking power from the city", didn't even ask the dude cause didn't want dude to incriminate himself. Big respect to him for not trying to ruin the homeless man's setup. You can tell that some reporters actively try to get rid of dudes like this while others have a level of respect and consideration for them. I'd rather the dude live in this setup than on a random tent on the street.
That man is talented. He built that. He needs to go to college and get a degree. Oh, and he is not homeless, he built a home with his own hands just like they did in the old days. This man is a real man. 💯
He needs to own a business because that's what he set his sights on. And vocational training would be more suited to his talents. Why do people flippantly blurt college like it's the most practical solution while most people who graduate college just have massive debt.
They're refusing city services because people don't understand that shelters and public housing treat you like criminals. Theyre so strict in what you can bring, cerfews, etc.. Then there's theft from other homeless as well. Don't rely on the government to help you, because they won't. It's so sad what this country and big cities have come to. I feel for these people, I was homeless many times and lived in a tent. People need to treat each other with dignity and respect.
People have no idea what housing shelters are like, or the fact that theyre extremely crowded and often don’t even have a bed available for those willing to endure the dehumanizing experience. Including for the sick, those fleeing domestic violence, kids, etc. People have been trained for the last hundred years to view those down on their luck as parasitic, so they have little qualms about looking down on people that might even need to stay in a shelter.
@@Shtevenmore like, violance, rape, drug abuse, people nearly dying and actual death... No wonder he's taking care of himself, still he doesn't belong on the streets, one person like him is not a problem, but this shouldn't be normal, get him proper housing, help him get a job or if he prefers an education, yes it will cost tax payers money but you better see it as an investment as all the streets in l.a slowly are slowly turning entirely into zombieland...
I did 4 years in shelters to get housing, and yes I did eventually get housed with a subsidy program in LA. Shelter is the only way to get subsidized and the subsidy is the only way to realistically afford rent. Anywhere at this point. The inflation is rising so quickly, not just for LA or Cali. Best thing I ever did was get that subsidy. But the things you endure psychologically and physically in the shelter, will leave you changed forever. It's institutionalization, it operates much like a prison- that I know from my own family members accounts of it. They're eerily similar. From the confinement, to overcrowding, to the bad food, the daily violence. People who talk sht about the homeless refusing services haven't lived that life. It's easy for them to imagine the shelter is a nice place and homeless just hate following rules. We like doing things that are easy and we don't like facing realities which are hard to stomach.
I bet you he’s got a bad ass job a year later. I’ve seen videos like this. Hell have 100 business owners stop by his “house” to offer him a job. Love this.
Nope. I’m a man, but life as a woman is dangerous enough without having to walk past homeless shacks to get home. You people need to rub your two brain cells together and make a cohesive thought. What if two things are true at the same time? 1. This veteran is nice and needs to be taken care of until he can get on his feet. 2. It’s unacceptable to build a structure, whether it’s on wheels or not, on public or private property without permission. You don’t get to break the rules because you are homeless.
right willing to put him down instead of putting him and other homeless people somewhere where they can be at peace so they get mad he built himself a home
he is not a Veteran he was Convicted of Felony crimes when he was in and was Kicked out he is not a Veteran he is a Criminal that done Felony crimes on America and Americans he has a Criminal Felony dishonorable Discharge he is NO Veteran it just Go's so Show how many People are Total Stupid out of there Minds Today
I don’t know if the reporter is trying to help or not. Calling the police and asking questions like that. Doesn’t seem like it. Much love and respect to this man for building this home with his bare hands and more importantly, EMPOWERING HIMSELF!!
The world would be a wonfderful place if we the good people took control of things. It's totally obvious that those who are the richest on the planet control everything and has done nothing for anyone else outside of their own family, friends and others who are as heartless and uncivilized as them. These news reporters are employed by the low life's I speak of and are put in the front to do the dirty work for the rich. It'exists
Considering this is Fox, where most of the reporters are held regardless of political affiliation... I would say he's probably not trying to help, but rather "expose" him. And that's annoying me. People love to mind other people's business, but only if it's a "problem" for them and not to offer any actual help to them.
She doesn't even know that a generator generates electricity, while he is not only a vet but clearly very skilled and resourceful. How the world rewards talentless people who were either born into their positions or knew the right people.
@@ivonivan1169 Of course him having a generator and no wires connected to a light pole or anywhere else to access the cities electricity is not evidence enough for hateful people like you. The cops were even called to the scene and had previously ordered him to move, no mention of him stealing electricity, but good ol' hateful ass Ivon Ivan has cracked the case.

This gets under my skin. This man served his country and he’s homeless? No one who has served in any branch should be homeless and without food.
Even if you made seriously stupid decisions in life? Man, Americans should stop crawling up the ass of the military.
He refused services and help though
To be fair, they did offer him housing and food. It was his choice to do this on his own
Its his choice
Many have addictions and would rather live on the street because they can’t follow the rules that the government sets for them if they decide to get government services like staying clean etc.
Someone needs to get this man a contracting job asap. He has pure talent and is a veteran. The system has to do better at taking care of its people.
your house is not on your lot.
move now!
yes I'm sure he buys all that stuff
Letting you build your own shack on Hollywood Blvd and set up camp literally anywhere in the state is pretty good at taking care of them
@@TheNaturalwoman221 Uhm I'm sure this won't last long. Glad he can move it

As the wife of an Army Vet ..i know this is old, but the words homeless and Veterans should never have to be in the same sentence. I pray this brother will remain safe and at peace.❤️🤞🏾

As the daughter of an Army vet, I absolutely agree.
@@roodick85 ohhhhh how I wish it were that easy. You are right too. It literally makes me physically ill to see a homeless veteran..( I feel empathy for all homeless..don't get me wrong) but to see our sisters and brothers who have literally given themselves for this country have to be without really breaks my spirit.

Not all of them, but I know Veterans who have had terrible experiences and I have personally witnessed rude/disrespectful staff. 💔😩🙏🏾
I never tire of someone reminding us of this truth.
The word homeless shouldn’t be a thing period like what are we doing

Thank you!! You’re much kinder than most Fox News viewers!! This man is a US Veteran and he’s harming NO ONE!!! The gov should be taking better care of Vets and they wouldn’t have to build their own homes on the sidewalk!!
Cool. Sounds like you won't mind if I come park my homeless camp up in your driveway. What's your address??
when a homeless vet has more class than anyone else in this story...
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!
You said it. The urinalist female is irritating.
Makes u wonder huh...?
The administration has to do a better job with our veteran population/ the effort has to be reciprocated from the veteran population as well.. I have seen first hand how veterans act when they are getting all of their desires given to them and it’s reprehensible… There is so much funding available to assist the veteran population.. Some work the program and successful attain their erstwhile desires and then there are those whom let their addictions control them and it’s so very sad…
exactly
The fact they called the cops while reporting is insane.
right?I was like really? that was unnecessary and he was waiting for the whole thing to get cleaned up talking about how 'interesting" it will be
FRRR like he seems like such a chill guy and even gave them a whole interview like whattttt
Talking about “To see what can be done to help”, they probably flipped it when they realized the police weren’t gonna say anything
Fking nuts
Racist newscasters make me sick to my stomach…
The lack of empathy is astounding.
Yeah, their incredibly abrasive take on this speaks volumes about Fox 11. This is my first impression of LA's reporting and it seems like they are very Anti-American. Is all LA reporting on the homeless this disgusting?
If he was stealing catalytic converters and in and out of prison the community would’ve banded together and bought him a house lol
Facts
The news reporter on the street is cool, but the other two, my goodness
Yes!!! Their attitude towards this man is ridiculous, like it’s effecting them! and it’s the very reason why the world is like it is today! One would have thought their attitudes would have been, “wow, how can I help?” Not, “how despicable!” A SHAME!!!! 🤦🏽♀️
You can tell by the look in his eyes hes sad and just wants to live his life. seems like a good dude

He's the most motivated and positive homeless person I have ever seen.
You should've seen me when I was homeless😅 I could sell Jesus sandals
take a look at the short documentaries on 'soft white underbelly' lots of decent good people going through the hardest of times man. its rough
Marla you okay.? 👀
So true
Most homeless ppl do drugs, it doesn't seem like he's on any.
Those people just made themselves look bad. He’s already in a bad situation. They’re appalled with his resilience and
are mad that he’s getting by in a way within his means and not wallowing in self pity. Good for him that he’s not letting people out of touch with humanity mess around with his sense of dignity.
TOTALLY AGREE👌
Very well said. This is becoming a trend with people. I'm starting to find that people get uncontrollably agitated when they see that someone less fortunate can find joy in simplicity. Yall b safe!

FACTS ✊🏿
The US government used to actually do that .Should start it back up.
The VA actually does find services and housing for you. If you are on low to no income while in the military, the VA offers you free housing and a federal job to get you on your feet, the housing is temporary until a nearby military installation has housing available or whenever you feel ready to take a VA house loan. The only rules you must follow while spieling with the VA is that you must not be on any form of federal illegal drugs or prescriptions. Normal homeless housing is terrible and is worse than living on the streets, VA homelessness housing is a lot better and actually treats you as a human being.
Right 👍🏽
No one has fought a good war since world war 2
The fact that he called the police on him is sick. He's homeless, and doesn't want to be surrounded by hundreds of other people in homeless "housing".
They really want a homeless man with a generator to pay a LIGHT BILL and PROPERTY TAX?
They want you to support the system. If you figure out a way to go around it, they'll try to destroy you.
That's like paying a Car Note for a Bus Pass !
They tried so hard to embarrass and belittle him! I love his composure.
What composure ? It’s called shameless. I grew up dirt poor and came from a third world country with My mom , unfortunately for me , she passed when I was 18. , I work my azz off, no ged or high school diploma, I’m now 35 and I own my own property.

bc he said he was a vet. lol you buy that
no, they kept offering him services and he kept turning them down.

Embarrassing both of em, these people raise kids that continue this type of disgusting ignorance
I don’t agree. I’m skeptical that he built it in such a busy spot. If hundreds of people do this it’s going to drive down the beauty of the local area. He could build that place in a more remote location and do fine. I slept out in the woods with homeless people and am a military vet myself.
No matter how the media tried to shame him...HE SHOWED THE MOST ...Intellegence and Class!!😁
And he chose prime real estate too 😆 right on Hollywood Blvd
Ey f it tho right? I mean if there was a place to choose to build it -thats the spot!

Well he is in the wrong. He cant call the govt housing as concentration camp. Thats insulting millions of jews who died during ww2

As a 10 year Army veteran myself, one thing I can tell you is that the Army does a good job teaching you how to survive as a homeless person. Kudos to my fellow veteran brother. "Improvise, adapt, and overcome."
They do that on purpose so they can discard you when they are done with you and it is simply criminal that we as a country allow it to happen.
The thing is , this guy doesn't sound like or act like some homeless person on drugs or the like . He's got potential and needs the encouragement to move forward.
He/ any vet shouldn't have to be homeless, they should automatically set you up. With all the money they get!
Facts
Everyone who serves should be paid the same as the president 400 grand every year for life!!!
" *where does he get power. Is he just milking it from the city?* "... wow. Way to show your ignorance *Marla*
He won’t be homeless for much longer dude is extremely talented
Amen!
He's also extremely talented at working on people's bikes without their permission. I live in that area. I had my high-end racing bike stolen so I put up flyers all over the neighborhood. The eatery across the street called me saying that they saw him with my bike. I met the police there. I was so lucky that I got it back before he stripped it apart. It took me 2 years to save up for that bike! He also had 11 other expensive bikes stuffed in that "house".

Right, the news report was realt shady. The reporter acted like he almost hurt him to say he was a Veteran. Unfortunately, here in our Veterans aren’t treated the best.. Hell the average citizen is treated with respect

The female reporter kept trying to exploit the gentleman asking about the usage of the city's electricity. The male reporter kept ignoring her, then finally answered her by saying no. Great job and good luck to this gentleman. He's no longer homeless.
& on the low the interviewer caught her doing that plus didn’t want to make her look clueless because he knew generator’s take gasoline 6:02
Notice that a lot with women reporters. The men will usually sort of defend eachother unconsciously in certain situations where women are trying to unnecessarily vilify men
Of course they had to call on him busy bodies they're safe and fine troublemakers
Marla is rude and prejudiced. You can see and hear how badly she wanted to demean and "catch" him trying to abuse the system or commit a crime. Terrible behavior when he's clearly one of the few that are trying to do something with themselves.
But he is abusing the system. As the reporter noted, all the businesses in that area are paying high fees to maintain their structures while he just set up his own camp.
@laurenell1112 what fees should he be paying? He built the domicile/shelter himself and provides his own electricity with generators and moves the entire thing when necessary, like cleaning and other reasons. To be honest, it's essentially an RV.
Edited for spelling/grammar.
@@ShinM. RVs are on the street, he is on the sidewalk. I view it as a structure, other people are paying high costs to be in structures in that area, he is paying nothing. It becomes more of an issue when other people start doing the same as him.
@laurenell1112 so he can just put it on the street and you're okay with it? I'm sure he can do that. It's completely mobile and is on wheels. And what do you mean he pays nothing? He pays all the taxes he is supposed to. He pays state sales tax, he doesn't have a job to be taxed on and he doesn't own land so he doesn't pay any of those either.
Do you complain about corporations or business owners defrauding the government on their taxes as well? I mean, companies and their owners avoid billions in taxes every year. This guy would probably generate under 15k a year. Just say you're racist or classist instead of trying to justify it with prejudiced idealogy.
@@ShinM. Oh, now I'm suddenly a racist. Wonk wonk.
The 2nd news broadcaster could use some compassion. How in the hell is he going to pay taxes, and he's homeless! He'd be taking power from the City if he stayed in one of those shelters! I'm proud of him! He built all of that with no money and donated materials! He has no running water, and he's not asking for charity. He's trying to work odds and end jobs to get his own money!Give him a break!
I agree!!!
The world doesn't stop for those who trip, it only stops if one gets back up.
when he buys anything he's paying taxes just like everyone else. leave the man alone
Plus I’d much rather pay taxes for the unhoused to have electricity than paying for wars abroad
Well said this man is homeless and js working his way up… not begging for money. His creativity of building his house with recycled and unused materials is amazing 🤩

If she knew how cold she was then indeed she'd be coldhearted. But since she's not aware at all, she is indeed heartless beyond coldhearted.

I have no issue with this man personally but why are we allowing this?

Breaks my heart. He is a veteran and deserves so much more than what he has.

You need to work hard to better yourself. I’m a veteran and manage to get by and build a house I pay taxes on to support my community
@justine yes indeed my son is a veteran from the army and he was injured and had to come back from Afghanistan he is my only son yet he still served!!! They don't get help and I didn't see him for many years not knowing if he was alive one day he just popped in the door with PTSD and anxiety and has to deal with it every day. That's just a little bit of the issue that's why I'm upset that news anchor just bitched about not getting a bill then get him an apartment they do it all the time for the white community he can get one too!!! But I can see that she is racist just because he's not white she is running her mouth. Okay I'll have to check on this veteran one year later. Peace ✌️🕊️
how many say they are veterans but is not true ?
Thank You!
He is a human being...and deserves to live with dignity

Instead they leach off of government services.

I love how the female reporter tried to accuse him of stealing electricity when he clearly said he has a generator. She doesn't understand how generators work and it went over her head, maybe the nice resourceful veteran can teach you a few things.

I'm glad that this man is working on his life no matter what type of housing he is currently in. The fact that he built his own house says that he is determined to be successful.
He refused proper help because he doesn't want to comply with the terms and conditions set, instead he chose to break even more laws by occupying public space and not paying taxes to the town council. He is a thief.
A lot of those shelters are abusive and degrading. Many go and then decide they never want to go back cause what's a shelter if you're treated like dirt inside.

4:58 the woman accuses him of stealing electricity when he just said a few sentences earlier that he has his own generator! It baffles me how people can make such a big deal about this beautiful, artistic, well-built construction, rather than dealing with the eyesore trash of other homeless encampments. We really need to designate empty lots to be for anyone willing to put effort into an organized and well-built living place.
Imagine every homeless person builds a “house” like this on the streets. Do you know how unsanitary and chaotic that would make things. People like you think this utopian world exists where homeless people can do nothing for society but give them rights to build shacks on public sidewalks. California will soon be a socialist state.
Ikr & the reporter interviewing seemed irritated when she kept interrupting to say he was stealing electric & milking off the city. I thought he was going to tell her it's a generator run by gas & I was thinking "oh nooooo they're going to freak about the gas, thank God he didn't say anything
Absolutely ridiculous he should be kicked in rear for building his house on sidewalk 😂
Does she not understand how a generator works…..
Which also gets to one of the cores of this issue..Part of the hatred for the homeless is due to the fact that many who have mortgages and property work extemely hard to afford it or cannot afford it. Instead of admitting that they hate someone who is not slaving away to debt due to jealousy, they trash the homeless and call the police guns. F*** this reporter. Bank should take his money and his house until he gets his shit right.

I loved the military l still do, l was and am so proud to be his daughter he has passed but what he taught me was not spoken in words so much as it was in action, self discipline, courage, protection of Americans our homeland, the will to know right from wrong and do that, fight for that.
What is happening to those values???
Has my life been a big lie? OUR VETS building a home on the streets, living in tents, physical and mental illness beyond imagination.
These heros were promised care, support, a reason for their bravery service, to freedom with all their might they gave life the best part of their life to the idea of life, liberty for all and America gives them a tent, life on the streets, many of our men & women drug affected , mentally handicapped, physically in great pain due to waring events knowing that where is help for them? It appears all America can do is say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
I see America becoming weaker, as our leadership grabs more and more of self serving interests in the name of goodness having never served one hour of true honest to God service it looks to me like all of them suffer from bone spurs.
It also appears to me l have been living a big big lie at the expense of land of the brave home of the free, give me your tired and your poor to do what with.

People have no idea what housing shelters are like, or the fact that theyre extremely crowded and often don’t even have a bed available for those willing to endure the dehumanizing experience.

I did 4 years in shelters to get housing, and yes I did eventually get housed with a subsidy program in LA. Shelter is the only way to get subsidized and the subsidy is the only way to realistically afford rent. Anywhere at this point. The inflation is rising so quickly, not just for LA or Cali. Best thing I ever did was get that subsidy. But the things you endure psychologically and physically in the shelter, will leave you changed forever. It's institutionalization, it operates much like a prison- that I know from my own family members accounts of it. They're eerily similar. From the confinement, to overcrowding, to the bad food, the daily violence. People who talk sht about the homeless refusing services haven't lived that life. It's easy for them to imagine the shelter is a nice place and homeless just hate following rules. We like doing things that are easy and we don't like facing realities which are hard to stomach.
I bet you he’s got a bad ass job a year later. I’ve seen videos like this. Hell have 100 business owners stop by his “house” to offer him a job. Love this.
That news lady is a terrible human being.
Nope. I’m a man, but life as a woman is dangerous enough without having to walk past homeless shacks to get home.
You people need to rub your two brain cells together and make a cohesive thought.
What if two things are true at the same time?
1. This veteran is nice and needs to be taken care of until he can get on his feet.
2. It’s unacceptable to build a structure, whether it’s on wheels or not, on public or private property without permission.
You don’t get to break the rules because you are homeless.
Agreed
She is asking for dumb questions
Ahh?? He was a mental health issues.. she didn’t grasp it that much
💯 percent
Agreed
I couldnt stop laffing at the fact that she couldnt get a word in edgewise omg im freakin ☠️☠️☠️☠️😭😭😭😂😂😂
You can see the embarrassment and hiccup and choke he had when he mentioned the man they are making a mockery of and not helping is a homeless Veteran
When?
right willing to put him down instead of putting him and other homeless people somewhere where they can be at peace so they get mad he built himself a home
he is not a Veteran he was Convicted of Felony crimes when he was in and was Kicked out he is not a Veteran he is a Criminal that done Felony crimes on America and Americans he has a Criminal Felony dishonorable Discharge he is NO Veteran it just Go's so Show how many People are Total Stupid out of there Minds Today
@@sassyd8738why don’t you take him in. Yeah right. 🤣
@@f430ferrari5f I had the acreage I definitely would take him in. Give him space to build he could probably make all sorts of cool things
I don’t know if the reporter is trying to help or not. Calling the police and asking questions like that. Doesn’t seem like it. Much love and respect to this man for building this home with his bare hands and more importantly, EMPOWERING HIMSELF!!
Agreed. I didn't like any of the reporters.
The world would be a wonfderful place if we the good people took control of things. It's totally obvious that those who are the richest on the planet control everything and has done nothing for anyone else outside of their own family, friends and others who are as heartless and uncivilized as them. These news reporters are employed by the low life's I speak of and are put in the front to do the dirty work for the rich. It'exists
Since you such a righteous man, why don't you help the man move to your driveway.
@@thorrrr1962 You got to be stupid for a living hes not in a driveway wierdo
Considering this is Fox, where most of the reporters are held regardless of political affiliation... I would say he's probably not trying to help, but rather "expose" him. And that's annoying me. People love to mind other people's business, but only if it's a "problem" for them and not to offer any actual help to them.
Good for him. I pray he prospers and no harm comes to him. Let those that wish and attempt bad on him to never succeed in bring him down.
She doesn't even know that a generator generates electricity, while he is not only a vet but clearly very skilled and resourceful. How the world rewards talentless people who were either born into their positions or knew the right people.
Of course he steals it, why burn gas, when you can hook up electrical outlet to a light pole?
@@ivonivan1169 Sure buddy...
@@ivonivan1169 Of course him having a generator and no wires connected to a light pole or anywhere else to access the cities electricity is not evidence enough for hateful people like you. The cops were even called to the scene and had previously ordered him to move, no mention of him stealing electricity, but good ol' hateful ass Ivon Ivan has cracked the case.
They said he has been offered services and help and refused because he's a lazy fucker. Like most of them.
Lmfao I’m so rolling😂
