Always going after people that owns property,but the city can’t clean up all the homeless encampments in downtown Los Angeles and all the suburbs in California. They could of cited these people long ago before it got this bad
I don't understand these people. I worked for a man who rented homes and apartments. He had two large properties filled with junk. Cases of caulking, paint, old newspapers, cardboard boxes, etc. The paint and caulking were so old they were all hardened. He actually admitted he had lost over one million dollars in rent as the places were filled with this junk and he could not rent them. I tried to help him clean it up, but everything I tried to throw away he would say no, I might need that. I worked for a woman who had a nice ranch house with a swimming pool. She called me to work on a mobile home she was living in in a park. It was filled with junk also. She actually moved out of the house she owned and into a trailer at the park because the house was unlivable as every room was filled from top to bottom with trash. She did not think she had a problem, just not enough storage space.
Often, a hoarding addiction comes from past trauma with deprivation, which is why it is common among the homeless. Those who have experiences going without tend not to be satisfied with just the basics. Everything that could be useful, someday, becomes a treasure. Unfortunately, they often sacrifice cleanliness and intrude on the safety and well-being of others. I don't believe hoarders can live independently. They have to be monitored and supervised like children.
@@PamiShoodrani I had a friend that was very much like this. Great guy always helped me out. But it was something mental. Something that happened to them in past I think everyone may have a story. I know people who stock food up like crazy because they didn’t have food as a kid.
It's a mental health thing yeah often a trauma response. A lot of times they know it's completely irrational but they're stuck in this cycle of fear of getting rid of things. It's really sad actually
After clearing a hoard house 3 years ago ( $9,000 in dumpster fees ) I wont set foot in another. Some homes look completely normal but hide horrors within 😝
I have a friend who worked for an old man for years on a 850 acre ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, Ca where the old mans own son stored 100's of old cars and junk to the point the county came after them for not being zoned for a auto junkyard and forced them to clean it up, when the old man died he left the property to my friend because he had a love for the land as he did and left the son nothing. in the end it was the attorneys who made the most of it all with the son fighting the will for years and draining the bank account that was also left with the land.
These county officials can't have their priority straight. How about downtown LA? It's a thousand times worse than this. You've got tents, encampments, RV's (that don't move) everywhere. Trash, human wastes, used needles litter the street. And they worry about this man litter his own land?
A local hillbilly had the usual 100+ cars and trucks rotting away on his 30 acres, + much other junk. He wanted to sell the property after he moved away.......cant be done. Its a toxic waste site now. They wouldnt say how many 100's of 1000's of dollars to make it pass inspection but it is a lot. His junkyard is no where near the size of this illegal junkyard. Not even 1/10th. This woman knew what was going on and kicked the can down the road, the city knew what was going on and kept kicking the can down the road.
It will be millions to clean this property, the oil and etc that has leaked out into the ground, means a huge EPA disaster when clean up starts, digging and hauling away of top soil, re filling holes, after junk is hauled away. This guy has been collecting junk for a long,long time. It could have been stopped, but a mother hates to confront her son. Hes just mis guided.
How that typically works is the government entity that cleans it up charges the land owner and if the land owner can’t or won’t pay the property is auctioned off to pay the bill. There is a due process for this and I’m sure the government attorneys are well aware of it.
@@bradsanders6954tough to say. Millions? Maybe. Once the government entity has to do a cleanup, whatever the cost, the property owner is on the hook or through due process the property is auctioned off to help pay for the expense, whatever that ends up being. If it ends up like you speculate, it’s likely that the owner will loose the property.
Did everyone here read the recent article about this? It took that article to finally get some reasonable action. The mother had been previously arrested, which she didn't seem to mind. She is a classic enabler protecting her son and now that he's been arrested, maybe _she_ as the owner will finally put her foot down. If David continues to live independently, he will continue to hoard. This problem won't go away until David is living with someone or a multi-family complex, etc. He requires oversight to monitor his hoarding addiction. Treatment? If it's therapy, I don't believe that works for addiction. There are pharmaceuticals to treat alcohol/substance addiction which are effective for other addictions, as well.
If you go out driving in rural America? There are all levels of this "hoarding of junk" going on all over. Somehow living in the great beauty of the outback makes some want to live in a junk yard acres wide. People hear they can drop off their unwanted vehicles and junk, so they do so. For years.
I do understand that dudes neighbors do not like his lifestyle but ya gotta be kidding me here, I find it hard ro believe the resources used to HASSLE this home OWNER and her son vs THE FELONIOUS BUMS EVERYWHERE!!!! KARENS SUCK
Not condoning his mess but this is just another example of why you don’t really own your property in California if the government is unwilling to clean up the streets, freeway overpasses and trail ways that have been invaded and destroyed by people occupying them , then how is this man being jailed for using his own family property for his private purposes.
Well there are many many many similar properties which seem more common in certain states. Driving past some properties you wonder it’s it’s a yard sale or life style. 😂
@@bradsanders6954currently 135 a ton in Illinois I don't know what it is out there and any vehicle that has a solid frame is completely 100% salvageable not like Illinois where frames rust out and snap in half and the floorpans of your cars drop out
Car batteries and generators are a big red flag. Some of those type of properties include metal and catalytic converters. That might not be in this case,but in my cyberstalking case someone knows cars and car batteries. They also know how to use batteries and electrical power grid. Also meter hacking and electrical appliance hacking.
All the law enforcement there should have been sent to look for animals that break into our homes. Yet the city is more concerned about this lol. Seriously? Crime is out of control and they go there instead?
Hoarders have been part of the Crescenta Valley / Sunland Sun Valley Tujunga Sylmar ecosystem for DECADES. You probably got a good deal on your property because of his junky place. Did your home inspection miss looking to your left or right? Understand the safety concern. So many residents in this area have had to deal with far worse and a new family moves in a gets a press conference and international media coverage? Hmmmm? How can life long residents of this area who have had to deal with similar issues and worse not get this kind of special treatment? What gives? Why does this messy parcel get the spotlight? Who has a pending offer on it? This problem of bully tactics plagues the entire Foothill area and no one wants to talk about it.
One man's junk is another mans gold, meanwhile society at large continues to fill land fills everyday with perfectly usable goods for lack of repair or it the new trend, there is a difference, and it's only because they think they are special because they throw things away in a land fill...?
The sad part is the female cop who thinks the eyelash extensions make her look better - she'd be much more professionally respected (and maybe cuter) without the batting fake eyelashes.
Why did it take so long for the city to respond? The delayed response from the city of Los Angeles can be attributed to its sheer size and intricate (many times awful) bureaucracy. Unlike smaller municipalities where decision-making involves a cohesive group, Los Angeles grapples with layers of administrative complexity. Contacting local offices isn’t straightforward. Instead of a single point of contact, residents must navigate regional offices, each with large teams and reporting managers. These additional layers elongate processes. Efforts to streamline procedures often result in new teams or task forces, further complicating matters. Neighborhood councils, which are based on residential location rather than neighborhood names, offer some recourse. However, this system remains unfamiliar to many, by accident or by design? You be the judge. City council members may attempt to escalate issues to the appropriate authorities, but Los Angeles faces a multitude of pressing problems, homelessness, infrastructure strain, and more. Often, individual concerns take a backseat or remain unresolved. Occasionally, a councilmember may spotlight an issue for political gain, but it doesn't change that systemic challenges persist. The critical question remains on why do we tolerate this? Despite evidence of the City Los Angeles’ struggles and successful autonomous models in other county cities. Historical events like water wars and the St. Francis Dam collapse underscore the consequences that the City of Los Angeles creates. The continued growing failures city wide show great dissatisfaction on how things are run otherwise secession attempts wouldn't be happening. Yet the County or State allow it to continue.
@@vuaeco lmao that’s where I live my guy, I know there’s a lot of trash fires in skid row, but there’s no nature/trees. I’m talking about those crazy wild fires Cali is known for.
Look I ain't defending the hoarder guy or mother. But I've seen it around the United States poor neighborhoods in some places that were deserts before there was other houses there was people that were living in those little deserts I'm sure that junk power was there before those people started building those million-dollar homes. So let the rich go live with the rich and stop building in poor neighborhoods. Now I'm sure that area was a desert before all those homes were built there and I'm sure that lady lived there with her son before those houses were built around them they knew where they were building a new what they were doing when they were building those houses building million-dollar Mansions next to a turd pile they figure they can move the poor out of their neighborhoods they've been doing it in the cities in every state in town across the United States I guess money does pay for influence.

Two different problems. I agree the homeless issue needs to be addressed. But this guy's location is in an arroyo.

The mom is responsible since it’s her property. Son should have be evicted years ago.
Mom's don't do that to their sons. They need them for their future.
@@andreacalkins5189 what kind of future would that be?
@@andreacalkins5189that is a ridiculous comment. Enabling a hoarder son only hurts the son ultimately and of course hurts the parent as well.
After clearing a hoard house 3 years ago ( $9,000 in dumpster fees ) I wont set foot in another. Some homes look completely normal but hide horrors within 😝
If it’s their property leave them alone!
Very sad situation… this woman could lose her property and the son doesn’t seem to care
It looks like a large junkyard from Google Maps. It's a fire road and looks impassable.
I have a friend who worked for an old man for years on a 850 acre ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, Ca where the old mans own son stored 100's of old cars and junk to the point the county came after them for not being zoned for a auto junkyard and forced them to clean it up, when the old man died he left the property to my friend because he had a love for the land as he did and left the son nothing. in the end it was the attorneys who made the most of it all with the son fighting the will for years and draining the bank account that was also left with the land.
so the city only acts when the resident is already in custody and unable to dispute the warrant.
The charges should be CLEAN IT UP

His property, he can do whatever he wants with it.
It's not his, it's his mothers.

It may be their property but it becomes a public problem when their property becomes a major fire hazard (and La Tuna has had major wildfires.)

You would think? To have a huge piece of land? You would have a lot of pride to keep it up!!!!!!
It called private property

How did you come to that conclusion? The guy lives with his mother who owns the property? 🤡

How many of the neighbors have the same issue???
What’s the law(s) that are being broken?
Those authorities that we pay to do a job are incompetent.
Explosive devices? What a joke
Why this illegal? What was written on the warrant? Seems like a fishing expedition.
Sun Valley is the name of the resort. Ketchum is the town.
well if its scrap its basically money in the bank but people get lazy lots of money sitting there
I see a lot of money in that "junk".
Yes enough to pay people to take it to the dump.......nothing of value there just scap
That’s the problem with horders.
Scrap is worth zero or near zero currently. If these vehicles were worth money they wouldnt have been left in the junk yard.

Cited 180 days in jail for violations but only served one day, makes sense
This reminds me of my sister's place in Corralitos.
Didn't the City about a week ago say this wasn't their problem? Now, all of a sudden, they're doing something about it?

Sad, they did make it worst.For the mom and son great now they will take their property away in fines.
Horrible
They have no one to blame but themselves. Why should the taxpayers have to foot the bill for this mess?
I think someone with some money and influence wants the property so they pushed for this
Clean up the streets of LA
someone wants that VW pickup BAD !!
So isn't LA county doing the same thing? They need too clean up their act first.
That land worth some money
I dont think its anyones business
It looks better then downtown LA
Politicians always worried about the wrong things
Fire risks, smells, pollution, lowered property values for the neighbors. This is EXACTLY why we pay local taxes for local enforcement.
Bunch of Karen’s
All the things going on in la and your worried about this, bloody hell man get your priorities right damn
My old boss died the same thing in CT. You can't even store property on your own property? That's unconstitutional.
LA should be more concerned with the downtown area
Just another example of you never really own anything! They will take it when they want which will be the case here
Oh yeah, the set for Sanford and son 😂
What a huge mess the place is and the Mother is wrong, there is a lot of bad stuff there.
Is the Hoarders TV series still produced?
