The dumb thing is that some of them (not all) keep voting democrat (our left-wing party) which caused these problems in the first place. So they leave to escape this but then keep voting democrat because they think republicans will remove all abortion rights or some other nonsense. I lived in California for a year. It's very sad to me because California has the best weather I have ever experienced in my life, I was an hour North-west of LA and it was like 65F and sunny in the winter and 75F and sunny in the summer. Weather was so good. I wish all the Democrats were in the swamp or frozen North and Republicans took Cali but what can you do.
Lol bro Republicans have been president many times. All repubs do is blame Democrats and nothing really changes from either side. People like you are why this country is this way because you let people exploit everyone that's just trying to live.

I'm from russia and here's why. At least in the US you have freedom to do whatever you want. If you end up homeless it's your fault. You are the one in charge of your life. In dictatorships it's always someone else. Your life isn't truly yours.

Seeing homeless makes me sad. Really sad. Some are homeless due to drugs or violence in families etc. some of the other people look menacing, dangerous. This place is scary.
On one side you have the rich area where actors and rockstars live (the one they show in the movies); next to it is the poor area, a total mess, where delirium and danger reign. Los Angeles, the city of fallen angels.
I am Bulgarian (the poorest country in EU). Even here things don't look that bad and it's not even close. Are there still people who believe in the American dream 😂?
It’s funny how everyone’s under the misconception that if you walk here at night, these people will hunt you down like hungry zombies when in reality, they keep to themselves.
Because we already have 1000x more bureaucracy ("systems that failed") than 80 years ago, and this didn't happen back then. Didn't even happen in the 80's. Bureaucracy, mass psychology and consumerism replaced morality and discipline. This is the result.
American culture raises people to have no empathy for their fellow man and only relate to him as zero sum competition. Most of these commenters don’t realize in this day and age they’re far more likely to end up like this than strike it rich.
@@Alterior245No because people take no accountability or responsibility for ending up in situations…you can’t fault a system if you’re not working to get out of it. You can make money and move out of a city, did you know that?

The consequences of legalizing an addictive and brain damaging drug (weed). CA has an extremely corrupt government so profiting off of drug sales means nothing if they can line their own pockets.

I’m from Australia, can someone explain why things are this bad with homeless in the US? We have homeless but not packs of them camping in tents on the side of the road. I’m assuming this is a drug thing?
america is ran by a capitalist party, so this is not actually considered bad. in fact most americans will tell you themselves they don't care these people are homeless, they just get insecure when they see homeless since it reveals how low the capitalists have brought their country, and want them out of sight what is worse is that their ruling capitalist party is split between a moderate faction and an abrahamic faction, and the pyramid scheme faction is pretty against anything that uses science instead of their faith-for-afterlife sales manual (so nothing really gets done in that country) luckily the secular and civilized world has already left these occidentals behind, as we focus on progressing humanity and ignoring their delusions 😂
@@RM-xr8lqyou are getting it wrong. The rest of the world is capitalist too, you don’t see this in other places. (I am from an ex-communist and later socialist country which was part of the Soviet Union)
This is mainly in bigger cities. Rarely you see this in any suburbs... scary thing is, more and more weirdos are moving into the suburbs. I wouldn't be shocked if my future grandchildren or great grand children end up leaving this place. This country is going downhill.
I used to have to live in a hood similar to this as a young white kid back in the day and had little issues, once in a while some random git would try to finesse me, but it’s usually chill. Racism in the 90’s tended to be much less an issue and honestly whites had more racism in their minds then anything I ever noticed from how I was treated. I still feel racism is more of an issue in the media then in the real world. Now crime in these areas is and always was an issue and that’s just reality, but not the majority. People just trying to live with what they have at the time. Less income, more crime, it’s just how it goes. Thanks for taking us on your stroll through this LA hood Charlie.
Honestly it does not disturbed me so much... Beside few things i noticed (example the weird guy probably under effect of Meta in the beginning of the video), i think this place is more alive than places look better... I saw many people doing just normal life in this video too...
You should do a walkthrough of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's life. See how they complain about paying any taxes while they have more wealth than many countries and hate unions that fight for paying working people good wages. Do it. Be brave.

If you’re still there, you should explore the subway station in that neighborhood. They play classical music to keep people away 😂😂
This was pioneered in London and it actually works
To keep people away? Do you mean the beggars?

The station is in good shape now. They have the classical music at other stations, too. I like it.

Damn right
he was high on life(and fent probably)
Leaving aside the environment, I am struck by the lack of trees on the streets.
Man has nothing to lose
Even the message on the bus is depressing. “If you’re high, don’t drive.” It’s crazy watching this after watching some similar content from Japan.
Some of those sidewalks are too dark for comfort, but your video footage is amazing!
Yes; it might not be a big thing in itself that street lights are broken for 30-40 meters/90-120 feet, but the signal value ("local government has lost the ability and/or does not care to maintain the city anymore") is way larger than that..
As a german tourist, i tried to park my rental car at those streets to take a walk into the city. But some girl left a poop direct on my parking slot in Front of us, so i decided to search for a nearer and safer car park
🤣🤣🤣

I'm from russia and here's why. At least in the US you have freedom to do whatever you want. If you end up homeless it's your fault. You are the one in charge of your life. In dictatorships it's always someone else. Your life isn't truly yours.

Damn not gonna lie seeing you stroll down Wilshire passing by that Yoshinoya brings back a lot of memories when I used to get off work last year at 11:30 ride my ebike all the way from 3rd & Fairfax to 7th & Flower. You see a lot of INTERESTING stuff going on, for you to be walking around all this late at night man you wild I respect it tho! My very first video I seen on your channel was back in 2018 or 2019 I believe… you literally pulled up to the liquor store right by my daddy’s crib (RIP) on 120th and Central 😂

Seeing homeless makes me sad. Really sad. Some are homeless due to drugs or violence in families etc.

It’s funny how everyone’s under the misconception that if you walk here at night, these people will hunt you down like hungry zombies when in reality, they keep to themselves.
Because they will if you're acting like a fool or wearing something expensive
@ not at all (or at least in my experience) they keep to themselves more than half the time
Exactly they have enough trouble in their life
This, they are trying to stay out the way just like us
Unless they're having a bad trip or something, someone in my city ate a severed head on a bus
Home sweet home! To quote Axl- "You can have anything you want but you better not take it from me". 🤘😎
why are people in the comments hating on these people instead of the systems that failed them
Because we already have 1000x more bureaucracy ("systems that failed") than 80 years ago, and this didn't happen back then. Didn't even happen in the 80's.
Bureaucracy, mass psychology and consumerism replaced morality and discipline. This is the result.
Because it’s both.
Because it is soo much easier for people who have no stake in the matter to blame the people who are suffering than the ones who cause it .
American culture raises people to have no empathy for their fellow man and only relate to him as zero sum competition. Most of these commenters don’t realize in this day and age they’re far more likely to end up like this than strike it rich.
@@Alterior245No because people take no accountability or responsibility for ending up in situations…you can’t fault a system if you’re not working to get out of it. You can make money and move out of a city, did you know that?

The consequences of legalizing an addictive and brain damaging drug (weed). CA has an extremely corrupt government so profiting off of drug sales means nothing if they can line their own pockets.
@@Mr_Bones. Weed is not addictive or damaging 😂 U Definitely have never smoked in Ur life I live in LA Smoke weed every day Drive High asf Everyday Its part of the Culture here!! Weed is literally the least harmful substance on this planet!! It has never killed anyone !! And you can't overdose from it, SO Yea u should be worried about the "legal"drugs like Alcohol or Cigs And the drugs that caused those homeless to turn out like that Coke, Fent, Met h Not Fucking Weed and as that billboard I literally drive better when Im high !! I Focus better, drive straighter and it doesn't make me road rage (cuzz that's a big issue here in CA) It literally chills me out !!

I’m from Australia, can someone explain why things are this bad with homeless in the US?
We have homeless but not packs of them camping in tents on the side of the road. I’m assuming this is a drug thing?
america is ran by a capitalist party, so this is not actually considered bad. in fact most americans will tell you themselves they don't care these people are homeless, they just get insecure when they see homeless since it reveals how low the capitalists have brought their country, and want them out of sight
what is worse is that their ruling capitalist party is split between a moderate faction and an abrahamic faction, and the pyramid scheme faction is pretty against anything that uses science instead of their faith-for-afterlife sales manual (so nothing really gets done in that country)
luckily the secular and civilized world has already left these occidentals behind, as we focus on progressing humanity and ignoring their delusions 😂
@@RM-xr8lqyou are getting it wrong. The rest of the world is capitalist too, you don’t see this in other places. (I am from an ex-communist and later socialist country which was part of the Soviet Union)
This is mainly in bigger cities. Rarely you see this in any suburbs... scary thing is, more and more weirdos are moving into the suburbs. I wouldn't be shocked if my future grandchildren or great grand children end up leaving this place. This country is going downhill.
@@tylerries9279I also plan to become homeless can you advise to which country or states should I migrate?

I used to have to live in a hood similar to this as a young white kid back in the day and had little issues, once in a while some random git would try to finesse me, but it’s usually chill. Racism in the 90’s tended to be much less an issue and honestly whites had more racism in their minds then anything I ever noticed from how I was treated. I still feel racism is more of an issue in the media then in the real world. Now crime in these areas is and always was an issue and that’s just reality, but not the majority. People just trying to live with what they have at the time. Less income, more crime, it’s just how it goes. Thanks for taking us on your stroll through this LA hood Charlie.
