    It's so dangerous for the workers to be going through all that trash with their hands. Those latex gloves are not going to protect them from all those needles.

      Sophia Brown maybe the city should put up more trash cans and bathrooms. Currently there are only 9 bathrooms for the 2000 living in skid row. Most of these people are suffering from mental illness and mental illness is usually associated with drug addiction. Some people became addicted due to doctors prescribing oxy/vic just because pharmaceuticals companies will pay doctors bonuses for prescribing these drugs. Maybe the people who are profiting from the poorest and addicts should step up and help this community.

      Joshua Upham because the city doesn’t have enough trash cans set up. There are only 9 toilets for 2000 skid row population. Anyways, like the guys said towards the end of the video, because of the trash he has a job, he probably wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for skid row.

    I usually defend the homeless (I was homeless myself for around 5 yrs)...except when it comes to this...I always did as I was taught about camping, “leave it better than you found it”...I never understood why they had to trash every place they camped????!! I would tell other homeless, “ no wonder they kick y’all out of places..pick up your shit”....I may have lived in a tent, but I didn’t look it and I conducted myself like I was raised...you know what ain’t cool....

    • @jessiemichelle5642

      Exactly. I was homeless, too, and it's situations like this that give the homeless population a bad stereotype. Luckily I got help since I was a woman with a child but that didn't stop some people from being flat out hateful to me. A few times I broke down in tears- I had never been talked to like that. These people didn't even know me and were acting like I would attack them or something. It was the other homeless people that comforted me. I saw so much talent among them, and caring. Guitarists, artists, funny as heck some of them. And one day a fellow homeless person brought a huge watermelon and someone else had a pocket knife and cut it up for us. It was a real treat, the sweetest watermelon I'd ever eaten. And we did not leave a mess.
      I have come up with a saying: Homeless does not mean hopeless.
      Look past the grime and into their eyes. They all have stories you wouldn't believe. And really low self esteem. It's amazing what a simple haircut can do for a guy. Love your fellow humans. We are all in this crazy mess of a world together.

      The dilemma is when issuing a homeless person a violation is the reality that they can't afford to pay and then it leads to an arrest warrant then to jail..etc and it becomes a cycle. I don't have a real solution for it but I know handing homeless people tickets is not it either.

      Exactly. I've been in California since 79. In the past 5-6 years, this is the worst that I have seen it. And it will continue to worsen. Our tax dollars need to go back to reopening mental institutions. There are a lot of them that don't have the mental capability to care for themselves. A lot of that trash is from hoarding, which is a mental/drug issue. These so-called political leaders have made this situation worse year after year, especially San Francisco and Los Angeles.

    I need to reply to all those saying that the homeless should clean up after themselves, True, But here is the thing they/we aren't being provided with garbage cans or dumpsters to do so. I am living that life due to sucomstanses beyond my control. Yet every day I put my garbage in bags and take them to dumpsters and throw them away. Here is the bigger problem, it is illegal to throw your garbage in anyone's can or dumpster. Be it a personal residence or a business, government or hospital and doctor's office dumpster. And I understand that they pay for the city service and do not wish others people's trash to fill the space they pay for.

    Salt Lake City Utah had 500 homeless living on the street.
    They rounded them up, put them on buses and drove them 300 miles into the mountains
    No one has been able to locate any of those people
    There is a video of the line of shopping carts on UA-cam
    There was a mile of the carts after the buses left
    All the belongings were in the carts
    People's pictures, personal items
    The city trash trucks came within an hour and they had bulldozers that they lifted the carts into and dumped them into the trucks
    It is amazing how clean salt lake City Utah is.
    I think Los Angeles could clean up the city if it wanted to
    The Mormon church got rid of all their homeless in 1 night
