The gentleman that drives the trash truck works harder than anyone. He isn’t lazy and is always working when others are just standing around.
The Producers of 'Hoarders' should do a 'Hoarders on Wheels' edition. Endless subject matter.
Man, that’d be interesting. But considering they’d be on the streets instead of a physical property; that would mean less production control for video & audio :P
That's Sarah?! I remember your interview with her, on 4-11. She had a lot of pretty artwork.Interesting lady. You were so kind to her, I'll bet you made her day! 🎨🖌💟
Great job by you, the cleanup team,😄💪👷🛻🚧🦺 and the LAPD Santa Monica police officer. 🚔🚔🚔👮♀👮♂👮Another pile of rubbish from caravans that spoils the cityscape with the scrap caravans doesn't look nice when you come to you as a holidaymaker, there are scrap caravans and cars on every corner on the streets
I remember this parking lot from one of your clips some months ago. There was an RV on the street out front with a makeshift bike shop set up around it. There were all kinds of tires and tubes hanging from the mirror and a motorcycle frame on blocks in front of it. The ebb and flow of life on the road.
It’s sad. These officers are often the ones to see the end of the line for these people who’s lives have fallen apart, who’s families have completely disappeared or died, who’ve lost everything and everyone…these officers see what happens when you lose everything and die alone. That’s really got to wear on someone after a while.
Their families usually give up after trying everything to help them. Thank God you obviously haven't had to deal with this problem in your family.
This is a never ending thing
Where is lazy Daisy to help with the cleanup😂
She’s Getting antibiotics at the std clinic
I feel so bad for this woman, my heart goes out to all elderly homeless people.
LAHSA should be helping her. She is seriously mentally ill.
Care Court! The gravely disabled?
C'mon! The lady has a choice! She's probably been asked a hundred times if she wants to live where a roof is over head. As soon as they tell her she must be drug tested daily, she refuses the help. Haven't you people been watching these videos? She's a tweeker!
@@Meofcourse27 actually that is probably true - if she stopped the drugs she would realize the hoard she has and what she has become
The big bus is back 😡
I feel bad for the sanitation men.Get the homeless to clean up the mess They made.
I can't believe she got that thing to move.👍
The Governor is guilty
The Graffiti on the Bus @2:40 is amazing, such artistry is really cool, I wish you would have panned out to show us; that's talent.
There is a cat sitting in the front window of that bus...
8-9 people being paid to stand there watching an old lady trying to gather her belongings and trying to figure out where to go next. Nobody lifting a finger to help. Pathetic!!
Why are all these reports filmed in slow motion?
What a waste to trash those good shopping carts. They are not cheap to replace.
Stealing shopping carts????? Thats their transportaion for their junk...Why can't they go to jail for stealing??
Simple Sense :
Comfortable in a Senior Center
but no, she must survive an indigenous life on the streets. What does she do with S.S. check ?
Does anyone know why that old woman doesn’t take shelter? I am certain they would prioritize her given her age unless she prefers to live this way.
She refuses because they drug test you.
Doesn't want to drug test. Where have you been.
drugs- also why she hoards- she needs to let go of some of that junk
Where is this woman going to push this junk too?
down a block- then she will come right back. the police know it but cant do anything about it.
What a waste of time.
YOU ARE A WASTE OF TIME !!!
What's with the hard hats and masks?
It's dangerous work. Needles, infections, fentanyl, disease.
Sie lässt sich nicht helfen!!😊
They know & she knows there's no place to go.
Yeah, there is place to go.
Isn’t this the older lady that had all the paintings the other day?
Yes
