Move all those people to Governor Newsom's front yard.
Really the LA Mayor Garcetti is more responsible for this mess. How these people get voted in year after year is beyond me.
expsterm1, and many of these people leave California and screw up the states they move too
19 of 20 poorest states in the union are Republican.
Lol 😆
daniel213141 Yea like Mississippi is Republican and a poor state but you do not see homeless people all over the place like this.
The irony, people paid millions of dollars for a beachfront view. These peeps got it for free.
It's that way here in Maine Portland they want a lot of money to be there the homeless people sleep there for free in the park
Yeah well they got gonorrhea and salmonella to go with it plus whatever other diseases you can catch from sticking needles in your arm
@@jackmckay4621 they probably don't fair too well in the winter though.
This is a absolute disgrace 🤢. No matter where it is. This is people who are lazy and have dropped out of society and they may have mental health issues. Most of them are drug addicts. Who are there because they want to be. And it doesn't help people handle them stuff and food what is the point of getting help. When they have everything there. I know kind people mean well. To give food. But it is also feeding the problem. The government really needs to step up. I don't have any answers to the problem. But it has to be addressed.
@@MM-fc1kv what do you mean I can donate. No I won't be helping anyone in needle park if úr so fond of this kind of life. Than maybe you could donate. 🤢
Meanwhile they sent 5 cops to arrest me for surfing in malibu...
That's cause they know they can get money out of you bro. Harassing and extort that's their motto.
@@robertbreezee6138 They did, they found me guilty of " being in a closed state park" and had to pay 280$ of the little bullshit income I have. There was about a dozen minorities in court that day, and feminist judge gave a 100% guilty verdict on every one. Land of the free they said.
Sorry to hear that, unfortunately that’s how our society works.
@@robertbreezee6138 that's why California is thinking of adding cameras at stop lights now as well.
Another way to team the working class🤦🤦🤦
Sad politicians use police tactics for law abiding citizens not dominion software fraud
Santa Monica is it's own independent city in LA county and Venice Beach is part of LA city. That's why Santa Monica keeps the homeless encampment out. Good video, my friend!
Is it still like that? i’m seeing videos of homeless all across California
Keep voting for this people ,your politicians are rich living behind walls
Paid the people to clean up the breaches and around the stores and apartments and old folks homes. Pay them to help clean up their area and the residents and out of stated people mess. $7.50 hr person for a area each day. It adds up after awhile. That is about $53 a week. Use $5 each day for food and water if you are not good with money or $3 if you are very good with money. For instance most places have free water so just buy the food ects. And so on. That Is not counting their own money from begging. I mean even good Samaritan could just put the money in a bucket guarded by those running the program to pay them for cleaning. This way the money is use for good and the place is kept clean. It's that simple. If they have enough cash they could up the paid to $13 or more an hour. Could even go from block to block around the city cleaning up and having the residents chip in a $1 into the bank for the project of keeping california clean and the homeless feed and clothes and shelter. You know a symbiosis relationship. Where both parties benifits from the other. What is a $1 anyways when your neighborhood could be cleaned up and looking nice and money coming in because people from outside of the usa wants to visit your beautiful cities and clean beaches.
@@ShouttoJesusChrist I have a better idea. The government should take over the drug trade and set up clinics, doling out heroin, crack, or whatever. The catch? You have to do a day's work to get your daily fix. Don't want to pick up trash? Fine; enjoy your cold turkey.
its actually enforecement of zoning..or non enforcment to be more precise
@@MrRezillo I don't approve of drugs. But I can see how that could work if that was my aim to enslaved someone to drugs. It's not my aim. So I am going to have shake my head and say no.
@@ShouttoJesusChrist Switzerland now runs clinics where addicts can go to shoot up in a safe environment with clean needles. Bear in mind, most of the street addicts are already enslaved to drugs, and it's already ruined their lives. My plan would be not simply to give out the drugs of addiction, but also to offer addicts another path, any time they're ready for it: offer them naloxone or other drugs that block opiates, methadone maintenance, antibuse for alcoholics, etc. and social services to help them if they really wanted to clean up. But the social services would not just be a hand-out. They'd have to stay clean and do some kind of useful work to stay on the program.
What we're doing now doesn't work. The cities give out clean needles, which end up getting thrown in the street, creating a toxic nuisance, for i.e., kids walking to school, etc. This is just a rough sketch, but my suggestion is not at all inhuman. Think about it a bit: providing addiction drugs in clinics cuts out the drug dealers and the associated crime, prevents deadly overdoses, not to mention cutting down on AIDS and other diseases, keeping dirty needles off the street, etc. etc. It's just acknowledging the fact that addicts are already "enslaved" and they're going to get their drugs from somewhere.
Crazy how it’s free to camp in the city on the sidewalk, yet it cost money to camp in the woods .... 🤔
Motorcycle... You forgot beach
Or $140 for a parking violation.
That's to keep people from taking over the woods and turning it into a desert like the beach is. There are no strip malls in the woods to provide taxes that will pay for law enforcement and fire departments to do anything that needs doing in the woods. Money has to come from somwhere. Look what happened to the woods in California this year? 6 of the worste fires in California history burning simultaneously.
The woods have bears , coyotes and rattlesnakes.
Move some to Venice Beach.
i heard about this on rogan. i know it stupid expensive to live next to the beach in socal. so somebody has a little 2 million dollar home and they gotta deal with this shit. you can buy a mansion next to a lake here in st louis, mo. probably for less😬
I was in Venice beach only six years ago. It wasn't like this then. It is astounding and truly shocking. If I was a resident I would be absolutely livid.
I remember playing handball on those exact courts 5 years ago lol..
Thanks Mayor Garcetti & Governor Gruesome 👍
Go to Nancy Pelosi's front yard! She'll feed you ice cream!!
Born in Venice, this is so depressing. Remember the salty, tangy air, now its the smell of shit and piss and filthy rags
You forgot about weed.
That's unreal, growing up in maine all I wanted to do was live there....not so much anymore
Here endeth the American Empire.
What goes up must come down!
In other words like Pelosi’s box😂😂😂
This is what system failure looks like.
This is what it looks like while they enforce the Georgia Guidestones population law.
@bigbluesparky True bro
I bet everyone that works or lives there is looking forward to the next big storm to wash all that away.
@doug dimidome You are a terrible person.
No this is what today's Democrat controlled environment looks like.
As a Canadian, I've been to Venice beach a few times 20 years ago. It was vibrant and clean and beautiful. I wouldn't take one step near that place now. How are the businesses surviving if no one is going there anymore. I don't think the tent folx are patrons.
Venice Beach has changed for the worse these last 12 months. Two weeks ago I saw a homeless man eating a sesame bun with toenails on it. Apparently he had nothing else to eat, so he had gathered toenail clippings from himself and others around him and put it on the bun. It was truly an unforgettable sight. I hope this Covid-19 situation turns around soon, or I cannot see how this soceity can keep it together.
Just imagine what is with Venice when the tourists dont go there anymore.
"even the rich can't be any closer to the beach"
I studied, scrimped, saved, sacrificed and suffered for years to save enough money to get a place at the beach. Little did I know that all I needed was a tent.
All that studying didn't make you too smart.
Dummy
It really is that easy. The homeless are unofficially allowed to pitch a tent on Venice Beach - oceanside property for free!
it's never to late. You can still live your dream. Why don't you trade your beach house, with one if these homeless people.
So go pitch a tent and give your rent or mortgage money to homeless projects like tiny homes or mental illness treatment programs. There, problem solved.
Even the homeless in America have WAY too many things.
Hahahaha very true
Yes, they have the latest IPhones.
They don't even have homes and you're still trying to tell them have "too much".🙄foh
@@lenaely6146 he’s comparing them to other homeless people in other countries. Not to ppl with homes.
Except the one thing they need, a house
These Venice beach videos are really hard for me to watch. I was born in Santa Monica and Lived in Venice growing up. I practically lived on the beach and walked from my house to the beach almost every day then later using the bike path where the only problem was the old woman who tried to stick her cane in your spokes because she didn't like the bike traffic. It is so sad for me to see it as it is now and I hope some day it returns to its former glory
This is what happens when you price people OUT of a place to live. Affordable housing. Help for the mentally ill
"You're not supposed to show the truth" is basically what that other guy was saying
Oh I live in the area and I've even been told by lefties that "it's not true, there are no tent encampments there, lies from Fox News". Every day is opposites day for them. Criminals are heroes. Fathers working 70 hour weeks to support their families are "disgusting evil racists". Opposites day every day, and free heroin needles by the dozen. We're doomed here. My family, we're on a plan to move to another state and no, we aren't taking the insane ideology with us, we never believed it.
All this is caused by Trump's reaction to covid.. just to make it clear.
@@mbikersMost covid restrictions are taken on state level, not national.
@@mbikers Please explain what policies Trump enacted that caused this? State and local municipalities are coming up with all the Covid reactions, not the Feds.
just some woke idiot, who think its ok to live like that toilet there,
finally an honest look at Venice beach and not some PR tourist promo shot
This is a shame in the richest nation in the world. Our politicians are unable or unwilling to help these individuals.
@@tyoungjjr unwilling...is the obvious truth.
I had the pleasure of going to Venice Beach 36 years ago I had always hoped to get to go back, but I never did. I can’t imagine having had an investment 40 years ago 20 years ago and to think that you would retire and then this is watch your face with so much for equity of your labors. On the flipside of that, I am not unfeeling for the homeless and their plight, but A lot of them won’t conform so that they can have a place to live no they won’t follow the rules, not just of polite society but to get along, and to live and let live. I understand that an $8 million complex is going to be built within a few blocks of Venice Beach for homeless people and that there will not be a lot of restrictions as far as signing in, drinking and drugs, things like that, and that the new DA Will not prosecute trespassing, misdemeanors, driving without a valid drivers license, prostitution, etc. I understand that it is difficult for the police to stop these people and to make an arrest and to do their job to uphold the law with people who don’t care for the law they’re just trying to live, And I get that but surely they can have some respect and consideration that someone has worked hard, kept her nose clean, made an investment, for their future and now someone else is pissing on that. Also, I am not so blind to see that, especially in California, politicians have line their own pockets and promoted their own agendas at the expense of the taxpayers which some of them are likely to now I’ll be the homeless. So a Nancy Pelosi, a Gavin Newson, a Kamala Harris, etc. are people who don’t care about right and wrong, being fair, respecting the laborers, etc. and they are every bit as much of the problem because of their greed and corruption.
@@tyoungjjr why gov has to help them ?? They have the freedom to change themselves and get a job!! They choose to be low lives .More you give them free the more they want.
I haven't been to Venice Beach since 1999. So sad. I used to live in Hermosa in the 80's, and bike the Strand several times a week. We used to pick up trash on the beach, despite the plethora of KTYD garbage cans. But this is beyond belief.
I lived in San Diego for about a year back in 89 and used to drive everywhere to different beaches and it was absolutely beautiful. So sad to see what it has become.
I don’t think he means this is showing San Diego. He just used to live in SD.
I really enjoy when you show all the movie scenes from when I was a child. Much appreciated!
It is a Third-World country now, unfortunately.
Wow. Pple are so heartless. We should be talking about how to care for each other or get them help not property values.
It looks like Cuba now, who would have thought this could happen.
@TheSeductiveArts yes I live with a family member now who's like that. Destroyed his own health and looking for a pity party. Found out he wasn't taking his medication for years purposely and purposely starts drama in the house
The ignorance
@Theodore Misc wtf does that have to do with the homeless drug addicts? Because the immigrants choose to work for a living?
I used to live in Venice for over30 years, Left in 2012 it did not look that bad. I divorced California in 2016 and never looked back.
Me too. City of fallen angels
I wish more people would do that
@@JMacSonic333 that's part of the problem. Good people moving out. I dont blame anyone one bit though.
Good people, not as good people, people in general. It got kinda over crowded. I prefer less people. Either way I like it in Cali. Especially up in the redwoods with some roots reggae. Irie, seen
Where did you move to? Thinking about doing the same.
Enjoyed the video, thank you. I lived and worked in Venice from 1990-2006.
The best years of my life. It saddens me greatly to see how parts
of it are now so dystopian.
Oh man - Venice Beach has gone down the tubes. This place did not used to look this bad 40 years ago. Very sad to see the American Dream being just a dream. This is reality! Thank you for sharing.
Question is not what happened to Venice Beach, the question is what happened to California.
Democrats is what happened
@moose boy inflation
@moose boy people need to get paid better, but the federal minimum wage has gone up. i don't know what you're talkin about.
@moose boy the federal minimum wage is $7.25. you said it has not went up since the 70's? i remember making $5.75 in '98. i remember my parents saying they made way less in the early 80's/late 70's.
They got flooded by homeless people from cold red states. Damn Repub-tards
A few years back I went to Los Angeles for the first time with my daughter. Decided to go to Venice beach. As soon as the Uber dropped us off I realized it was a mistake and my daughter was scared. Had to call Uber back to get us the hell out of there.
I knew shit was getting bad in my area but bro.... this is insane
Congrats on what you have done with your channel. Amazing job!
Also it’s so sad what happened to Venice. I remember coming to visit in 2006 and it was not like this. Been out here since 2007 now from Boston.
My dream is to go to Germany to visit the VW headquarters and also Westfalia
The decline and fall of an empire. Happens to every empire eventually.
@@devianthousend I second that
The US empire should've declined over half a century ago.
True good point
@Gold Pill Bill I dislike your comment 👎🏻
True but this is the shortest running 'Empire' in the history of Empires. Us only gained power after WW2. Benchmark: 1000+ years
I've lived in Los Angeles foe over 50 years. Politicians are so desperate to be politically correct, they are willing to tolerate this filth. Between the state and the Feds, Los Angeles has gotten over 1 billion dollars to help the homeless. The mayor was asked where the money went, he couldn't provide an answer.
What does that tell you!?????!!
THe reason there is so much more less than the was 60 years ago is of course increase in population and secondly and more importantly is the cutting of funding of mental health institutions. Funding for mental health institutions and rehabs would begin to turn the tides on this problem. Unfortunately it may be too late. There are so many factors now contributing to homelessness. Economic problems. High rent + low wages. Drugs and alcohol. Mental Health. I think it's only going to get worse. Notice how during the pandemic the richest billionaires got richer. Didn't Jeff Bezos go from like $110 Billion net worth to $190 just in 2020. That's nuts all meanwhile many people have been laid off, furloughed, lost there livelihood or business, etc. Disparity of wealth just went into hyperspeed in 2020. National debt is climbing. I'd be interested to see what 2030 looks like in America.
@@izang5800 There may not even be a recognisable remnant of Amerikkka left by then. This will be the downfall of society.
Isn't California mostly liberal?
like 99.99999999% liberal
It's also a funnel for all homeless people because of the weather. Unfortunately California will always have the worst numbers of homelessness in the US just die to its Mediterranean climate.
@@bubba842 hell of alot of left states are doomed
@@robertreilly5897 doomed how?? You do realise that is where all the money is. If you take away Texas and Florida all the other "red" states are poor. And Texas and Florida will probably be blue states in the next 10 years because of demographics. It is all the "left" states that are keeping states like Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana functioning through Federal taxes. If states like California, New York and Michigan become "doomed" then the loss of Federal taxes will have a massive knock on effect to all the poor states that happen to be "red states."
@@pewishjrivilege896 who's running away from the money?? The money, just like every other state, is held by the rich for the rich. Just because a state is rich l it doesn't mean every body takes part in the rich lavish lifestyle.
Just like everywhere the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The wealth gap is increasing every year. California just happens to have more rich people than anywhere else. Rich people supporting rich activities. The vast majority of the people are poor.
The super rich might live lavishly but they will never share their wealth through fair taxation. They will bribe politicians to change tax laws that only benefit them.
Don't forget, if they are not paying their fair share everyone else has to pick up their slack. The only people who are leaving are the poor. No rich person is leaving.
Michael Douglas' 'Falling Down' comes to my mind immediately. That movie back in '93 already foreshadowed the chaos and collapse of this city.
“You think I’m robbing you??!!, I’m not the one charging 50 cent for a freaking soda! You’re the thief!”
Great movie
YOu are naive if you think this is just happening in Venice...or just in California. It's ALL OVER. And you can thank the COURTS - who decided 'being homeless isn't a crime' - so the IDIOT lawyers (for cities, counties, etc) have decreed: NO ENFORCEMENT. FOR ANYTHING. :(
Man LA is becoming like the movie Escape from LA with Kurt Russell.
@Erfansvideos Hollywood foretelling again.
Everything they say in the opening credits has come true so far
Becoming??? lol It's already there
Wasn’t it Escape From New York ? Early 80’s. Movie
You should see Palm Springs! Even worse!
Meth, Crack and Heroin in every city in the U.S. this is by design.
Nobody is forcing these people to take meth, crack and heroin. How is this by design? People make choices and there are consequences to their choices. Wake up!!
Drugs isnt the problem. Reality is there is a subset of society that will happily coast through life doing as little as possible. Living in a tent on the beach and subsisting off handouts is perfectly acceptable. They used to be called crusty punks.
Brooke B Incorrect...this problem existed prior and has gotten worse.
that's why we were told each and every one of us we can choose right and wrong we just don't slow iworld down enough to think about it
@Brooke B it wasn't the lockdown. It was the democratic party since the 1800's
Dude there isn’t one person in a tent because they just lost their job.
Not true. But the vast majority have mental illness, ex convict, an addict, all three even.
@DeadlyButSilent2 It’s actually not a mental illness. You described another percentage of the homeless population. Deadly but silent sounds about right. You’re full of shit. I’m no sap. I’m just stating the obvious. There’s a lot of different people from different walks and ways of life who end up on those streets. Not all of them “goof off all day and drink booze”. You can show a little humanity and not be a sap.
@DeadlyButSilent2 you clearly never read anything about the homeless and are probably parroting tucker Carlson, Shapiro, and possibly Crowder... do they feed you your fish before or after you clap and balance a ball on your nose?
!0 years ago I hitchhiked from Montana, to LA and back. It was a great trip. Slept one night on the beach at Santa Monica. The beach cops walked right by me as I was sleeping but hauled in people nearby that were drinking. I'll be taking another hitchhiking trip around the US in a week or so. People are as you expect them to be. Forgive and you will find people who forgive you. It's the way to peace regardless what problems you may have.
Why complain??? This is what you voted for.
Opioids, bro.
Trump is trying to bring you your jobs back to the US don’t forget to vote for him
WELL SAID! They should write and complain to Gavin and Nanna Pelosi....not that that would do any good!
Who voted for it? Liberals voted for it and liberals don’t make up the majority of the country.... Hence the reason a Trump is dominating.
Spot on. As long as people continue to vote for the "establishment"... things will never change. I know some people don't want to hear it: Trump is leading the new "anti-establishment"... (ie. draining the swamp)
CONSIDER:
_“Hope” is an emotion. “Change” is a condition. Neither is a plan._ ("Hope"... it don't get the job done... just sayin'...)
People had better shelters 2.000 years ago,and no garbage!
where would you like them to go?
@@HorizonHipHopFEMA Death Camps?

The don’t want shelters. Drugs aren’t allowed in shelters.
Yup and 2000 years ago our population wasn’t 6.5 billion
I understand being homeless, but what I don't understand is the trash and crap everywhere. They can at least pick up after themselves. Those politicians have to go!
Mental issues. Not only drugs and homelessness.
You’re right. This is a huge issue with the homeless.

That why it is a shithole not enough sense to elect politician that will clean it up
They didn’t sign up for this. Dealing with the unpleasant problems of the world.
Cali wants the state to have zero emissions vehicles in 2035 but they have no plan for the homeless?
💯🤷🏽♀️
Exactly. Also they have no plan for the vehicles. They have rolling blackouts in heatwaves and they already purchase 1/3 of their electricity from elsewhere

Leave it to Nonesense to come up with BS orders instead of fixing the state and it's cities infected with this trend.
Yall can have California.....I don't get y ysll love that shit
Thank you for you documentary amd your effort, I am a photographer along with some of my friends that we use to go there alot to photograph beautiful crazy Venice Beach ⛱ but now its insane.
the first time i went to venice beach, i was shocked and almost in tears. i expected just sands, boearwalks and the sound of water, but instead the sight of homelessness. california needs to do something about its growing homeless population.
Lived 50 yds from Muscle Beach for 44 years...saw the this crap coming 10 years ago. Another fine example of astute political leadership.
Democrat leadership
Will Powers 👌🇺🇸 First.....with homeless people 🤦🏻♀️.....in covid deaths 🙄...and in building walls (between people) .....really great country to live in 🤪
I’m a little hard-pressed to figure out why you would want to live this kind of life in the first place. I mean is it really our politicians fault that people live like this on the street? I’m not going to back our politicians don’t get me wrong these guys are crooks through and through, But blaming this problem on politicians doesn’t really make sense considering they’re not the ones telling these people to feel the way they do about themselves. I don’t think any of us really have an idea about how you become homeless, most of us work really hard and we go and live our lives and we do what we’re supposed to do. Or at the very least we do what we’ve been told what we’re supposed to do. Nowadays you’ve got people on TH-cam telling other people how great it is to live in their car, people are decking out their cars, their vans America is getting to a point to where they would rather live on the street then have a mortgage and that’s pretty sad. We already don’t like having our politicians tell us what to do in our personal lives you see that all over TV all the time, people can’t stand government intruding into their homes. So what can we have The government do to fix this problem? If they go and start making rules about homeownership and prices of homes all it’s going to do is piss off people who have worked hard to own homes. Personally I think we should all be allowed to start homesteading again. To be given land for free as long as we build a structure and maintain it for five years or more. I think this would give a lot of people in this state ways to homeownership. I don’t know it’s just a thought.
Exactly, I lived in San Diego from 1994-2004, I left to raise my family in the country in the PacificNorthwest. That was the best move I’ve made. Birds chirping in my Raised garden beds and hammocks in the Evergreen trees and peace and quiet.

Also folks fail to realize the major mental issues folks have going on that play a huge part in this as well. I’m an RN that works specifically with the mentally disabled like right now I’m taking care of a Paranoid schizophrenic patient at the moment and work 72 hrs a week helping the mentally unstable. The state gives company’s $12k - $15k a month per client. Our whole system failed along time ago.

I can’t believe that the public hasn’t held the Governor responsible for all of this.
California public is stupid
coronavirus made them loose more control. they used to send them south to poor neighborhoods to keep the rich people happy-ish. also other states kick their homeless out or pay them to leave, or they leave because there are no opportunities in this country anymore and drug use has increased so much over the last couple of years. no place to send them, rehab centers aren't so great either honestly and there isn't even enough of them anymore to handle it. good ones cost lots of money. i'm not trying to excuse anyone. i'm just putting information i've found interesting because i actually wish this would change.
Newsoms followers have been tricked..and are now cult members..
the media keeps it quiet
They're docile mind controlled slaves and can't.

You're doing great work ! Please keep it up. There is no easy solution to this problem. The homeless are often only viewed as an eye sore and a scourge, but each has a story and some are heartbreaking. And many are mentally ill. Maybe we should create encampments until a better solution is found -- like we used to have during the dust bowel migrations? You could then install showers, restrooms, etc. and get them off the streets. There is lots of land in nearby desert areas that could be used for this.
I’m an immigrant from Kenya and I guarantee my entire home country looks like Disney World compared to this. I love America, but so many states have let their cities go to literal piss and crap because of the crooked politicians who run them.
Welcome. My advice is be a good citizen, make a life for yourself and vote Republican 👍🏼
@@lancairw867 Thanks. I’ve lived here for 12 years. Been voting Republican ever since I was old enough to vote. Definitely don’t buy into the media’s narrative.

DEMOCRATS rule the demise
Yep, you can thank the democratic politicians for this debacle!
Vote for those people in charge, get what you voted for.
Exactly.
100%
please vote republican, save the republic. any time democrats raise taxes 3 things happen 1) small businesses that have employees cant hire and middle class folks suffer 2) rich people and the biggest businesses protect themselves from the tax anyway (by "offshoring" more of their money in the cayman islands for example), the rich don't ever pay taxes! 3) government wastes the money on uesless projects, liquor and more yachts. please dont vote democrat, they don't know how to run things, they just know how take your money!
@@jeremyelliott9831 most republicans support free market philosophy, so it's hard to separate republicans from free market proponents. republicans have more than just a difference of opinion vs democrats, they care about the country more; democrats fundamentally disagree with the existence of the united states. therefore, everything they do destroys it. taht's why there's homelessness, at least republicans will give you a job and help you improve your space, democrats don't like the system at all nowadays, maybe in the past there was opinion differences, but now they will literally take the consistuion and rip it up again and again and again until we're all freaking homeless. it's gotten that bad they dont care. i think limited government is good and i think the more you rely on the governement the worse society will be. ok im done
California, where I was born, has 50% of the homeless in the US.
California is the place to be... free drugs, booze, all the sun they can get and everything else that’s why homeless people from all over the country flock there!😂
Wow I went to Venice Beach once back around 1990 and it was the coolest beach spot Ever! I thought wow what a dream to live here. Clicking on this video and seeing this homelessness in areas where life should be a walk on the beach, happy, fresh air, girls on roller blades, muscle beach guys working out! WTF happened? Something is wrong. I live in Florida and our homeless peeps stay mostly at facilities, churches and Cita work for pay to get on your feet and function like the rest of us have to!! I’m dysfunctional sometimes too but being homeless is a choice in some cases they like how they are living!! So Sick but true, a big stadium for homeless people needs to happen. Get most of them off the streets. Bill Gates? What no money to be made? Any of you rich greedy peeps have an idea?? So sad...
@@tonyl1483 free booze and drugs.... wtf are you talking about. You need to step away from conservative podcasts.....
@@oarguello you need to get a life!😂
There were several times when I used to take my paintings to the beach side of the boardwalk and sell them. I was surrounded by other artists. It was wonderful. But, that was years ago. I would not even attempt to sell my art there now. We had our own community of creatives. This is heartbreaking.
I lived in Redondo Beach and Venice Beach is a dump and full of homeless people taking a dump on the side walks. Thank god I moved out of California. Don’t walk, run!
Redondo is amazing. I was just there
Good luck finding something as good in a red state

You just came up on my phone so I started watching. Its sooooo sad. I've been wanting to go to the Hollywood stars, but now I'm scared. I live in Bakersfield. I have to go to bed but I cant stop watching.
Thank you man for that great video. I live in Louisiana, and we dont have such a big homeless problem as yall do. We have a few people but not as bad. Wow your are right venice beach was a great place to visit. I had been there before . Way before all this mess happened. Hope it gets better soon man.
Everyone has to get out and vote and recall Governor Newsom. He has been an absolute disaster
This is your local government at work. Bonin to be specific.
Like Republicans have ever solved any problems with their governance. There’s no problems in Republican run states, it’s paradise, low taxes, low crime, and no one needs government help, right?
@@jcr1382 then why is it that people from the twin cities like Portland/Seattle are flocking to Iowa where Iowa is a beautiful republic run state? Well guess what? Then california shitheads will vote Democratic in Iowa. They are too stupid to realize that Iowa will start to look like California ,NYC. Yes.... Nyc, chicago, Venice Beach.
U people have got to quit voting these same people in political office over and over
But... but... Republicans are nazzies!!!!!
I agree BUT, here is the butt... Until we get a politician that is available to vote for that actually is representative of the majority of the people living in this country it will not change. So far we keep getting people that are from and represent the interests of the 1% living here.
California has had both republican & democratic mayor, so who do u want them to vote for?
@@jamesh5460 at this point what do you have to loose?
What do you mean “you people “ don’t you vote?
What a tragedy 😥 Something's really gone wrong with the world, it's so sad to see. We're witnessing something similar in the UK. I grew up in a lovely little town in the middle of nowhere. I remember it as a happy place with a thriving town centre. Now half the shops are boarded up and there are homeless people sleeping in the streets.
5:18... I used to live in that building. Top Floor, front, on the left. My livingroom window.
In 1983, 2 girls and I split the rent of $285 a month total.
It would have been $250, but we were subleasing
It took a while, but most of Mexico looks better and safer than California
I don't know about most of Mexico, but I know the Yucatan looks a lot better than this crap going on in the US.
La is safer than almost any big city in America
@Dan Rice the fbi?
Crime rates?
Google it.
You know what has bad crime rates?
Texas cities
That's because most of Mexico has moved to California.
@@zeppelinmexicano true am in the city of Puebla right now in Mexico and I feel a lot safer here then over there in LA Puebla looks like a lot worse then LA but to be honest the people are a lot more nicer here and also it isn’t as noisy and there aren’t any homeless here
This is what happens when you blindly vote for the letter next to someone's name and not the person.
Correction, this is what happens when you vote for the letter D instead of the R!
@@spiritualalchemy3393 I really doubt that the people living in tents in VB, La, SF and SD are very happy. We have had dems ruling Ca for far too long and they haven't been able to solve the homelessness issue and all they do is impose more and more taxes. So yeah, I stand by what I said and I will keep voting REPUBLICAN!
Look at all those people that's voted for California's officials with out even actually voting themselves. Wake up people. The people didn't vote them in. They vote themselves in. Why do you think they dont care about that
@@spiritualalchemy3393 so having tents set up dosen't decrease property value? Not sure what you mean here.
@@spiritualalchemy3393 You saying rich people are happy, what a surprise. You falling for that Dems care about the little people. In 2013 in Chicago 47 schools were closed, at once, under Obama, in Obama's city, what a great man truly a man of the people, gtFoh
I look at the beach today (your video) and I fall back to this video. There’s still a few tents left but nothing compared to this.
Thanks for making this video. I always told my self one of these days I want too visit Venice since I have not been there. But now watching this clip I definitely will not visit. How terrible and sad is this.
20 years ago, Venice was cool. No camping allowed, not even in your car. California should be PISSED OFF, but now they are only getting PISSED ON!!!
They deserve it.
Oh no it was bad 20 years ago. And now its great. Just ask the democrats. They will tell you all the good they did in California. They will tell you how much better life is in California and how bad the rest of the USA is.
Venice in 2016 wasn’t even like this
@@fish578 well the Democratic party got it straightened out. Now it's a paradise. Just ask them.
Is the governor salt tomato sauce the chief of police the people that live there let's start from A to Z and let's put the blame on what it really belongs to everyone yep if you live there you're part of the problem.
These people have more rights than the tax paying citizens.
Just need to live man
People are happy to keep junkies around to feel good about themselves when they toss them a half eaten starbucks croissant.
@@nickyms2601 that's why so many taxpaying people are leaving. It's only going to get worse.
@Big Brother obviously
Its quite remarkable, unbelievable. The governers all should be sacked.
This is national problem buddy not just a California problem. People are politicizing it when this is happening in both red and blue states. But unfortunately it's the the America people want to see. They want to see fantasy and believe in Hollywood Marvel movies as if they are real. This is the future. Our politicians no matter what party they represent don't give an F about the problem. As long as they get their lobbying money they will pretend this doesn't exist or just completely ignore it. It's not as if there is any social systems in place to help the problem. They stripped them back years ago.
.... how do you not know that this is happening all across America?..... do you really think this is only happening in one city in the entire nation?
I used to Love Venice Beach, now not so much. But when I visit LA this summer I will come and say hello to you👍🏼💯♥️
Send them to Malibu, Beverly Hills and bel air where they will be able to share all amenities of the wealthy that constantly advocate for them. They will be able to share their pools, showers and will probably be invited to fine dining with these concerned stars, producers and directors each morning for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Put the word out that these generous individuals are anxiously awaiting their arrival..why should they have to rough it at places like Venice beach when paradise awaits them.
Seriously???
@Dirk Diggler , I'm in New Mexico and we have a problem here too. I'm on a limited budget but have an extra bedroom. As a single woman I don't know how to offer it, Do You? I thought you were being facetious.
Edie You want to bring a homeless stranger into your house? I hope you don’t have children, have renter’s insurance and have made a will. Best of luck to you, you’re going to need it.
It is not a crime or immoral for the filthy rich to become filthy rich, as long as their wealth was earned by hard work and in an honest way. Some filthy rich have earned their wealth at the expense and suffering of others, such as drug and human traffickers who never get their hands dirty at the street level. I would advocate for the death penalty for those at the top of these cartels, once those are rooted out and executed then the next one would have to decide with their own personal life on the line, will they take that risk. Only a tough and extreme stance on the matter will bring lasting results. Otherwise it’s just an endless and ever increasing situation without solution.
R Lee Agree. At the very least, each liberal/leftist should let one homeless person set up a tent on their lawn, balcony or porch. Great idea on your part to begin.
Dammm. My city in México looks way better than that
The American dream right there
Si
I’m glad he is showing reality.
Yes people who think they are coming to America for a better life have a rude awakening
@@PsychicReverendDonnaSeraphina Thanks for nothing Democrat Politicians and Sheep Voters, look what your bleeding heart liberalism did to the USA
Thank you for your video, I appreciate you ! .
"This video should not discourage you from coming to Venice Beach" um.....I'll go up to Central California, thank you very much. Much less homeless.
Was in Santa Barbara and only saw one homeless man, then up in Santa Cruz there was a huge encampment.
Very sad.
This video was definetly NOT sponsored by the local tourist board... On a serious note: what does the Mayor plan to do about the situation?
More of the same, probably.
Lol
@George Ross just like the favelas in Brazil
He raises taxes! To do um, something. They’re definitely on it guys. Any day now.
No plan at all. Those of us that live here know this problem will never be solved. Too much on the table here. Drug addiction, laziness, mental health issues, enabling state, and the list goes on.
California governor should be sued by the remaining people for endangering their lives.
Blame crony capitalism failure on one person & one place. This is happening all over the world.
Do nut sue the California Governor: he was elected, eat is his duty to protect these evil homeless, they are (Saints) untouchables, we-are all considered the motha-fuckers trying to eject these (Saints)=d0-nut$
I wonder if my family can sue the state for not allowing black people to buy in santa monica or any zones that wasnt in the ghetto my family would be rich as well but I guess white privilege was how many white people acquired lots of money.. so sad
Yes!!!!
Depressing, disgusting and unacceptable!!!
This is California, I used to live very close by but never visited, just could not risk it with my kids. So many talented , smart people in this area. I would love to see a solotion that helps everyone.
The governor of that state should be made to walk throughout the homeless camps without security.
Better yet have a homeless sit on the governor’s face bare assed!😂😂😂
Better let him sleep for two night 😁😂.
And barefoot
Make politicians live in this.....
@@tonyl1483 Sounds like you have a desire your afraid to face
People of California. You get what you vote for . Just don’t move to my state bringing your hippie politics with you . You lot made your bed now sleep in it ......
I admire your honesty. Thanks for sharing this...
The worst is the people's attitude in this county. Like that guy saying he was harassing the homeless. They are blind by their own ignorance. Thank you for showing the true state of our county. Hopefully people wake up!
Looks like people have to start voting for different leaders. That's horrible to see. Totally destroying California. Soo sad!
Yup, that's why Trump got voted in, to fix the Democrat's mess. But there are Democrats that don't want Trump's help like Pelosi; she's more worried about stopping all of his betterment strategies than helping her own State overcome their self-induced homeless pandemic!!
@Charlie D and that is why the media ignores all of this
They got what they wanted lmao
"Respect my home and I'll respect yours."
Oh the irony...
looks more like a threat than a message to me, after all the latest events.
You disrespected my home when you set up your trash within my view.
I do not think this person understands respect.
@@pd39aol awww...don't like it....move! suck it
@@surfinmuso37 Moved here to get away from the shitty "Streets of San Fagcisco." Willing to move again. Asking $450,000 for a house on which I still owe nearly $300,000. Nothing fancy, just the going rate of property in CA. You interested?
Pull, tennis court, 5 golf courses within one hour drive, lots of businesses opportunities, centrally located. 2,100 soft. ⅛ acre lot.
These people get paid money from the government for being homeless. And food stamps. Saw that released from a homeless man in another docu. He said “why would I want to get house when this is free and I get paid to do this?”
Wow, I had no clue it was that bad and that sad! Thank you for showing the Truth!
This is happenings all over the county of Los Angeles and Orange County
Don’t forget San Diego county too bruh. Hey you all wanted these democratic progressive mayors, governor, congress people and senators.
@@DevilChildLabs Yes,it is true that democrats do not have answers to the problem of homeless Americans. Well guess what genius,neither do republicans.
10/5/20...Rep would NEVER have allowed the ppl to crap/urinate/put tents on the streets/roads/ sidewalks/parks/beach.
THERE are common community laws/rules/restrictions about dress code/drinking/drugging/
littering/loitering in public & on public property....
DEMs allow all the rules to be ignored/broken so common ppl MUST put up with all this nonsense....
Jim Gavin The elections are just selections. Our votes do not count unfortunately. The whole American political system is rigged and a total scam.
Jim Gavin it’s an American problem though seems odd that Pelosi’s nephew is following the ideas that Trump laid out in 2019. Making it cheaper and easier to build homes so our rents and home prices will stop soaring? Would securing our border from 50% of the drugs smuggled into America come through Cali wouldn’t cut down on drug addiction resulting in more homelessness. Oh wouldn’t cut down one people losing their minds from drugs too and finding themselves on the streets as well? I’m no genius but some simple truths are clear to see.
Being that I live here in Venice this is sad to see. The California I fell in love with in 1976
is gone. It’s not just Venice, it’s the whole state. No doubt things here & all over the planet will continue to get worse.
Paid the people to clean up the breaches and around the stores and apartments and old folks homes. Pay them to help clean up their area and the residents and out of stated people mess. $7.50 hr person for a area each day. It adds up after awhile. That is about $53 a week. Use $5 each day for food and water if you are not good with money or $3 if you are very good with money. For instance most places have free water so just buy the food ects. And so on. That Is not counting their own money from begging. I mean even good Samaritan could just put the money in a bucket guarded by those running the program to pay them for cleaning. This way the money is use for good and the place is kept clean. It's that simple. If they have enough cash they could up the paid to $13 or more an hour. Could even go from block to block around the city cleaning up and having the residents chip in a $1 into the bank for the project of keeping california clean and the homeless feed and clothes and shelter. You know a symbiosis relationship. Where both parties benifits from the other. What is a $1 anyways when your neighborhood could be cleaned up and looking nice and money coming in because people from outside of the usa wants to visit your beautiful cities and clean beaches.
Tell your politicians to build affordable houses
beach boys last hit was in 68
Nothing is like it was in 1976. To expect it is unreasonable.
To expect people not living on the streets no matter what year it is
is not unreasonable. We’ve voted in prepositions to help & our leaders squander the money away or it ends up in the wrong hands. Corruption at it’s finest!
I live in Chicago. I'm about to take a greyhound to California. I've always wanted to try crystal meth. First stop Walmart to buy my new house.
Hey..at least anyone can love right on the beach now. It is not just for the rich and famous any more.
German in Venice makes me smile what a wonderful guy.
Last time I went to Venice was 2006. I thought the homeless problem was bad then! Get your shit together, CA. Thanks for this honest video!
People talking about how Tijuana is trash. But, this looks worse.
We don't have Donkey Shows... yet
Tijuana is nicer than LA lol
@I Am Becoming Brother, trust me. Walk around LA and look at the homeless and you will see these are not immigrants living in tents.
Sure but at least you don’t get kidnapped in LA.
Will you get the PayPal if I send it to you? I’ve been following your stories on TH-cam since you started. You are doing a Great Thing showing the world all the hurting that people are suffering.☮️ Phil
Good job presentation. Surprising to see no boats in Homeless Camps. Change is coming, The Magnetic Field of Earth is Due to Flip, is already in progress. Ocean will wash across Coast as Earth Repositions!
So strange, if you were to have all that trash in your home, the government would evict you.
Not in LA.
The mayors and governors of these states are responsible for this atrocity.
And Drugs!
@@donnamays24 I would bet 99% of the people in those tents are addicts. Maybe 100%. That is partially their fault, BUT I think a big chunk of it is the fault of big pharma. I can't give you the % but it's not uncommon for someone to be addicted to Oxy and then switch to heroin when they lose their source of Oxy. E.g. their aunt's medicine cabinet.
@@111bobgato I agree with you! Blessings💖
Kitanai Koneko In the end, the governor, mayors and local elected officials are responsible for what is happening in their state, counties, and communities. That is why they are elected officials. They have a job to do and they are failing miserably. It doesn’t matter where the people came from. Once the problem has taken root in your community, it’s time to act. The fact that these officials have allowed it to get to this point is disgraceful. Change existing policy, come up with some viable solutions, it’s their duty.
it's the american culture; you're all a bunch of narcissists
It sure has changed since I was last there 20 years ago! Wow!
Thanks for letting us tag along! Your mom looks like she had fun also, tell her hi for us ! You rock GiV ! 😊
Its heartbreaking my friend....we have an ever increasing homeless population here in Albuquerque as well, but NOTHING like on LAs scale, its just so hard to see. Maybe someday mental health care and drug/alcohol abuse help will be better handled....we can hope anyway. Peace everyone 🙏
Can’t force a horse to drink water.
Last time I was in Venice about 10 years ago it was still pretty vibrant...no tents. How times have changed. It's all completely flipped upside-down. Unbelievable.
The beach area has always had homelessness a lot of young homelessness kids too but it just got worse all across Los Angeles county
its still beautiful. I was there this morning doesn't detract from Venice at All. They are part of the changing landscape.
@@1love847 appreciate the optimism, but honestly when the huge divide between the haves and have nots is that evident it's just a really bad look. Tent encampments amongst multi-million dollar homes smh.
Hell yeah! No rent, front view of the Iran, drink jack Daniels all day, dedicate five times a day on the sandy beach? I LOVE IT!
So depressing... Trash every where. The beach scene is ruined in Venice.
Its truly disgusting!!
I think it is time for the public to "go fund me" enough to put those people in buses and take them to each of the mayors and govenor's front door and let them out and see how long that last.
Thanks for showing this!
