Dozens living at a homeless encampment in Oceanside forced to leave
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- An encampment of people experiencing homelessness is located just east of the I-5 on south Oceanside Blvd. They call it "Fall-town," a place where people fall.
The people there have been living in the area for the past few months, but the city has said they need to be out by Saturday.
More than 50 people call the Oceanside homeless encampment home. Including Rodney McGough who feels as though the city is throwing them out like trash.

I work with many nurses who volunteer their time to help the homeless in Oceanside. They are offered A LOT of help. From showers and hygiene products to job interviews and apartments under one condition which is staying sober! No alcohol, no heroin no meth.. NOTHING! But the sad reality is that many of them would rather get high and live on the streets instead of getting help and getting back on their feet.
Don't know much about addiction issues, do you? The common denominator is abuse.
I Have To Disagree With You. I Know People That Need And Want Help And Are Treated Like Caucau At These Places And To Top That Off "Denied" Essential Social Services Like Ebt Food And Medi-Cal. 🤐🤫
Yep, same in Skid Row when I use to work there.
That’s an oversimplification of the issue. It’s not like a light switch that you turn on or off that you can’t to get sober.
@@lorettagallagher if you know such people then do your part to refer them to the resources that offer such services instead of trying to cause sorry excuse of a reply.
That looks relatively clean and organized. You should see the one's in LA. Trash, junk, and old furniture EVERYWHERE.
It started out as a place where many people were living out of their cars and RV's on that same stretch of road.
That’s how it starts: then it gets like LA...
Exactly it starts small and organized than blows up. Behind McDonald’s there’s camps and under the over pass by the creek bed.
"relatively". yeah keep telling yourself that.
It needs to be nipped in the bud.
That guy is speaking out of his ass!! Talking about moving to peoples backyard!!
Lol
Better hope it's not the wrong one. I'm willing to bet 223 they won't be in mine
@@JohnGalt916 if they in mine, ima pull out that gun and have no hesitation to open fire. My property, my choice. Now get the hell outa here or I’ll do it.
I have no issues with houseless people but the amount of trash they leave on the street is insane. I live right there on Greenbrier and every other day you see piles of trash blowing down the street, I really hope they can receive help and I hope the shelter is available to them soon.
with all the trash I'll tell you what follows... roaches, rats, a lot of birds and multiple other rodents. I saw it up close in East Village. That is the thing w/ homeless people, many are mentally ill and are not capable of doing the most basic tasks- like putting trash in the bin.
I'm surprised the city council hasn't figured the way to charge them property tax
How has Covid not wiped these ppl out? Oh wait, they don’t have TVs.
Its true though!
Covid is and has always been a scam. I went to Africa on vacation and nobody cared.
@@JesusChrist2000BC Hi, there, Covid isn't as bad as people say it is. I'm tired of all these ghost stories about this virus.
@R.machado lol! Homeless people are exposed to waaaay more pathogens than you trusting the government not to have your healthy friends over for supper... Homeless have 1. Lack of access to showers and good bathrooms 2. Lack of nutrition 3. Dirty encampments 4. Lack of health care 5. High stress 6. Some have drug use issues resulting in more unsanitary conditions. Hosting your healthy friends on the other hand is basically no risk...unless you watch a lot of tv in that case you have munchausen and are clearly going to die if you do normal human things....
😂😂😂😂
If you have a drug addiction you get money for housing assistance. If you’re sober you don’t. What kind of bull***t is that?
Back in the days when we saw someone homeless we would offer them a job ...
Right?!? I remember that WORKED
Its not like it used to be.
They don't want a job.
@@rickyfandango6054 A professor said some people would rather give money to a drug addict then a person that has potential so they can play the victim saying " I tried to help but I was taken advantage of"... This program is to seek potential not to buy someone their next fix...
@@artsandinventions3209 Than.
Back in the days jobs paid a living wage and housing was cheap. Both have been screwed over by the wealthy. Most people who are homeless lose their housing despite having jobs. Our system is designed so that you can’t save up, you can’t afford an emergency, and the whole time richer people are going to get a lot richer
Kick them out, then what. They’ll move and settle in another area and it starts all over again.
Write an essay plan if you complaining. Solve the shit you speak.
...the cycle of life Mufasa...
There are a lot of homeless camps in the brush nearby.
@@Double2KK ...those aren’t camps...they’re homeless B&B’s....
@@Andrei2000PC plow them all into the sea?
They should have been doing this a very long time ago
The smart ones camp out of sight and away from other homeless...
Millions of illegal immigrants are being allowed into this country and then flown to their choice of destinations but there is no help for the homeless American. So very sad!
Enforce it. Get them out. Half of thoughs people dont want to get better. And if they get a voucher to stay in hotel then they need to be sober/clean, random check ups to see who else is in hotel. I dont want out Oside to become like LA. We have too many people struggling who are doing what's right. These people dont want to get better or clean.
Those people not thoughs people.
@@dmitrikguajardo6006 ...our resident grammar docent...
Those stats sound made up by idiot, so I'm guessing YOU made them up, tool
I have been homeless for nearly 4 months. I have been clean and sober for that 4 months.
Those*
So many programs. Lifeline, Interfaith community , 211. These programs will help you get ID, birth certificate, SS card. Help you find funds. Home/shelter.
At least the city is doing something about it - I live San Marcos and there's homeless ppl who have started to move in on the street behind my house and I've complained to the city and Cal trans and nothings been done 😠!! ... it's makes my family and I feel unsafe in our own home- I've even called the police a few time. I feel for them but wtf man there's lots of help out there... Have them move behind your house and then let me know how sympathetic you are towards homeless ???!
Well they aren't doing anything about it downtown. There are bodies, trash and feces lying all around the streets and sidewalks.
Good for Oceanside. Keep our city livable. Drugs, feces and derelicts do not belong on our streets.
I'm so happy this is happening
Yeah, it's tough, but people started trashing the place. Sad.
If you lose your job, and or your home, then you'll have the same lifestyle as they do.
The streets are trash in San Diego County someone needs to clean this s*** up
Yep homeless don't like rules. Most just wanna get high
1:52 "doodoo, human waste" 😂
"Due to."
@@johneldridge8678 I know but mine is funnier per homophones :-P
cant be more honest than that! lol
They needed to get them out. It was getting dangerous.
The California government created this mess and now they have 50% of the nation's homeless. Loving Phoenix more and more.
The daily bus full of homeless from Illinois, Michigan , and Minnesota who ship their homeless in the winter months so they don’t freeze at night doesn’t help either, can’t blame ca completely when the majority of their homeless are from out of state
@@johnnyeveryday fake claim
@@johnnyeveryday Good point!
Cause rents so expensive they gotta lower cost living some people get garnished and cant survive on what they get
Phoenix isn’t any different, 10 Frwy and Indian school road , there young heards of homeless. You got to go to Anthem to clear that.
They should start a caravan to the Mexican border
😂😂
I'd make a forced work program for homeless. Get them a job picking up trash and cleaning the streets. If they can't make it after that.. then maybe it's a lost cause.
I agree many do do drugs. But, many have mental illnesses and really need help. If you talk to them and listen to some of their upbringings, many were abused. Or ask them what or how they got onto living on the streets, it is freaking sad. They need mental help. Many turn to drugs because they are trying to kill themselves. Many of these people go to the hospital a lot because they have strokes, heart attacks, lung problems, diabetes, etc. Most of the food provided is mostly sugar. You get a pb&j or tuna with chips and cookies, juice and water. On top of that at breakfast they give out cakes and more cookies and desserts. Because it is Cheap and easy to eat because people do not have stoves, ovens, microwaves. They get canned foods as well though, veggies right?
Ebt only gives a certain amount of money per month and if you do not have a place you have to buy the food there and then so it doesn't get bad or people try to steal it from you. Some people don't have the mental ability to fill out forms and get paperwork finished in order to get ebt or other benefits. Some do not know about the benefits. Section 8 is 12+ yr waitlist and then when you get it, they barely help with finding you a place. You have to do it. They have forms and lists of places, call them. The places are filled,the places have a wait list too. Then they don't take you because your credit score is bad because many people made mistakes and lost themselves and became homeless. Did you know even with Section 8, they still enforce the 2.5x the rent requirement for income? Some do not even make 1.5 times. Some have been raped and beaten and their minds are all traumatized up and you want this person to work? They are trying their hardest to live day by day and they do not even want to do that.
Guys out there treat the women terribly and because they are homeless nobody cares.
Many go to jail, turn the jail system into a psychiatric medical center. There needs to be a sweep and a removal of drugs and more rehabilitation centers, more beds. Many do drugs because they are tired of peeing, shitting, sleeping in bushes.
@@vanessaharper6080 Totally Agree With Your Comment.
Homelessness is a symptoms and a signs of a decline nation.
I believe the "domestic terrorism" legislation that's being pushed is going to be aimed at desperate people losing everything as the US continues to collapse.
Is it true that all the homeless that are in Carlsbad are dropped off in Oceanside?
Yes. Cops give them a very small amount of money to “get on there feet” and dump them in Oside. #fuckcarlsbad
I bet San Clemente does it to.
The US government is spending 60 million dollars a week to house illegal immigrants. What happened to taking care of our own people?
I sleep in my car, I hang out with homeless all the time trust me they don’t want to works
And why the hell should they work for the system which FUCKS THEM OVER IN EVERY SINGLE WAY HUH??? You Don’t Know their every single one of their Stories so you ought to think before posting some dumb shit like that.
@@GABRIELADAWSON the system doesn’t fuck them over, trust me. There so much help available they just don’t want to do it. They want to live worry free from scheduled jobs to rent etc.
If there’s anyone qualified to even talk about homeless it’s me. I talk to them daily. I really do live in my car, I shower at the homeless shelter and park in areas where they’re are tons. You defending them tells me how much you really don’t know about homeless people. I’m sure you never even stop to talk to them, because if you did you would agree
@@GABRIELADAWSON on some real shit go talk to the homeless, offer your help. See where that gets you.
I offer jobs to homeless all the time , I don’t give them money. I tell them about programs etc. they just chose not to do it.
@@jabari441 Now I don’t know what World you’re living in but I don’t care neither The So Called “Help” as you wanna call it aren’t there to Genuinely Help but for Financial gain they don’t GAF about nobody...And the Government wants More people to wind up Homeless because they’re a bunch of GREEDY,SELF-ENTITLED ASSHOLES it’s all apart of their Agenda
@@GABRIELADAWSON now you just sound ridiculous. Government wants us to be homeless?
“But I don’t care neither”
So much for understanding someone’s story right?
Just go to a homeless shelter and talk to the homeless stop living in this fantasy world.
I’m one thousand percent you’ve never been to a homeless shelter and that’s why I’m telling you to go for yourself
The amount of trash and calls to the police is costing us Oceanside tax payers and these homeless individuals don’t see a problem
Did you vote for or against proposition 21 last year? Allowing municipality’s to put renting caps in their city’s
Oside is my home. Its about time we help lets set the example and do it better than yesterday.
Homeless vouchers are for 2 weeks and then what
@Sandra Tamez what do you suggest the solution in ?
This is the real pandemic
They need to make Campland property in every city where there’s homeless. Where they can set up their tents and not be bothered. And if they have a designated place where they can set up their tent then they can’t set up at the beach or in front of other peoples homes.
There’s a lot more that would be needed. Toiletries, security, running water, a roof for rain.
@@eladam135 The tent would be their roof, and there was no security or toiletries or electricity when they Campanelli’s! They need some place to go that’s legal. For sure it would be a definite slum area but at least they would have somewhere to go
@@o2bnob nah their numbers would only grow as time continues. Without help they’re doomed to continue to trash, spread their biohazardous waste, and lower property values.
Legal doesn’t mean ethical
@@eladam135 I agree totally but I believe that’s the direction it’s going to go in anyway they are only going to grow in numbers
About time!!!
It's was the saddest thing to see this in Oceanside
Finally time to pick up the trash 🙌🏼
They picked you up?
With robots taking all unskilled jobs homelessness will only explode.
Undocumented workers are getting all the low paying jobs, cheap housing, and government assistance.
You’re both robots. I can tell because I’m one.
@@ericday3538 Yes, at the moment. Robots are going to work free of charge. I don't see why people are going to hire anybody anymore if a robot will work at Walmart. mI've seen it already.
Praise God! Oceanside needs a homeless shelter. 💕
No they need a new jail
Fuck God They Need to STOP Building CONDOS and HOTELS for the Wealthy Assholes and we need Start Building Shit for OURSELVES!!!!.
Give them bus tickets to go back to where they came from
I love how they say "free" hotel rooms.
Why don't the people who feel so bad about homeless let them move into their homes?
If you let somebody into your home, and they don't play by the rules, then you have to throw them out. One rule most people have is that you don't shoot at them.
@@MrJuvefrank you're preaching to the choir friend.
All we do is throw more and more taxpayers $$$ at these people and nothing changes. No solution to make permanent changes as so many of them prefer street to having a job and responsibilities
Do you live in SoCal?
To the person who wrote the INCENSETIVE comment below.... (I'm gonna yell now) YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE EITHER ILL INFORMED OR JUST IGNORANT ABOUT ADDICTION!!! No one chooses the life of an addict! What you're suggesting is the same as asking a person with a freshly broken leg to hop to the nearest emergency room! NOOOOOOOO... They have to have help!
This is America the biggest country with the most opportunities for everyone! These homeless people choose not to do it. Immigrants comes here with no English and they work at factories or picking veggies I don't see them begging on the streets! Some American citizens are just plain lazy and drugs are more important to them.
Hard to argue that.
We are having the same issue in Austin, Tx every since our city counsel removed the ban on camping in public places.
Hope my tax dollars aren't funding this? But then I believe Cal. got alot of tax dollars recently. Which will happen again and again and again.
Many of these people have burned their bridges w/ their families.or they would probably help them.many ,not all have given in to their addiction.
Why can't we just learn from other countries such as Denmark, they have one of the lowest populations at 0.1 percent. They prioritize housing, create programs for education and employment opportunities, and also create their own cemetery if needed, now if only they would listen?.
I think we will see more news like this soon...😭😭😔😔😔
I would've never thought Oceanside would've had homeless
Oceanside has has a homeless population since I lived in Carlsbad in 1992. Back on East Coast since 2006. Stopped going to New York years ago because of the crime and homeless...
United States sending money to different countries but can't help their own people
No affordable housing. Start looking elsewhere.
Move to an area away from a main street and away from businesses. I totally agree these people should be helped before any illegals.
@@oscarjimenez6534 you must be illegal because you took this guys comment way out of context. I hope you find peace man because the hate is oozing out of you through your cell phone 🤦🏾

They need more room for the homeless Joe is importing and keeping the human traffickers business booming.
They are given hotel vouchers but don’t leave and cali law makes it real hard to get them out.
Can’t go further west then the coast of CA, all the other states buss in their homeless to Socal.

2021 the year of the homeless lol.

cALIFORNIA MESSED UP SO BAD..
Why do they expect everybody else to solve their problems.
When are they giving the vouchers? Planning on going there, I need a place to stay too! Maybe I should bring my tent. They might give me a voucher.
You're a dick. I'm in social services and it's 18 months for domestic violence victims to get into the main housing center. Why not spend one night on that strip in a tent or downtown SD and report back on who survives?
@@mede7575 you are insulting me and I'm the dick? Lmao fact is most of those people, not all, don't want help. And the ones that want help, the system has failed them.
@@dave3207 The vouchers are temporary and the system has failed anybody having to be outside with zero resources. Yes, you're a snarky scumbag for that comment
Always someone else’s fault....
People have lost everything because of the pandemic!!!god help us!!me and hubby are in an isolation hotel in Vermont.i have to call every month to recertify for our room!
Feel for you both... in social services and Motel 6s were bought by California at the start to of all this house people, but Republican residents said "not in my backyard." Some states are running programs better than others and if you have a car it might be worth researching which have rapid rehousing lists. Vermont may as well.
other than the ones that want to live that way , the others can vote out the ones causing this sh!t
The renting cap was a ballot measure that California residence chose not to pass.....
Of course you are kicked out! You can't live in the streets. If its too expensive, move away.
With what money, moron?
All these people were residents of this town before they became homeless ? Wow !
Nope.
@@rickyfandango6054 😉 didn't think so. Probably sucks living there and having to take on that new burden.

You aren’t also a fiscal conservative are you? Because that’s going to take a lot of money
If restaurants are needing workers than they should have no problem finding job that is if the restaurants manager and owners are interested in hiring them. Most people are making more on unemployment verses working part-time at local sandwich shop franchises and other restaurants.
Nah they hire undocumented workers instead.
Good. Kick em out, this ain't LA.
Homeless was right the rent is too high these days

We (as a society ) can decide to pay for whatever why want with our taxes.... what do you want taxes to pay for ?
Just claim to be an undocumented immigrant, you will get a 15k check and a home
But the government will not give them of cheap rental They have removed all cheap rentals this is why we have the homeless

It's literally not the governments job to take care of you. There IS affordable housing. You choose to live in Southern California. You could MOVE to a more affordable state.
I am so sick of this of someone needs to take care of me mindset.
Yes keep doing this its getting outta control
Good. This city always had too many problems with homeless people. Can't even go to the beach without one talking to or barking at you
Oceanside has changed a lot. A lot of places that once allowed homeless people just don't. Oceanside ranked as one of the nations safest places to live, homes average 550k and even downtown has changed. I didn't see no issue with what they did cause it was clean and that part of Inside is still struggling but Oceanside a rep to keep
Oceanside has gotten better but I've had personal experience recently- Unfortunately there is still gang activity but they will be gone soon with higher prices.
The fact that we have let this even come to this is despicable, disgusting
Thing is free isn’t free ! Someone has to pay for it ! Get the heck out of here .
"Everyone's fault but mine."
- Every homeless person
All lives matter! This is despicable and sad that this happens to anyone. They should have affordable housing. Everyone needs help sometimes. I guess it's just that the world is so overpopulated and the system is broken.
Rules need to enforce.!
Get em out !!
What’s affordable housing for them? $100/ month rent including utilities & food, health insurance, cell phones, bus passes, social services & etc?
The real issue is drugs. The city can set up any program they want,and it won't help. Sad to say,but homeless people don't really want help they want,drugs,free handouts,and for working society to feel sorry for their bad decisions they made in life They can find a way to drugs,but can't find a job when everyone is hiring. Not all,but for the majority of homeless people you can't feel sorry for.
What happened to the Tiny homes for homeless population?
I don’t have no affordable housing in California because you vote Democrat.
