Downtown San Diego residents wanting to break leases because of the homeless crisis have options

- Опубліковано 22 гру 2022
- San Diego’s homeless crisis is profoundly impacting both people living on the streets and the people living and working near unhoused individuals.
For some people living in Downtown San Diego, the situation has gotten so bad - they want to leave the area and are even willing to break their leases. But moving out isn't just time-consuming; it can also be costly.

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.
To balance out your real estate holdings, I suggest investing in equities. If you're cautious, even the worst recessions can present fantastic buying opportunities. Additionally, volatility can produce fantastic short-term purchase and sell opportunities. This is not financial advise, but you should buy immediately away because money isn't king right now!
You're right. I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets with the aid of an investment coach, and I was able to use high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and bonds to generate a little over $830K in net profit.
Would you mind providing details on the advisor who helped you? saving for a pension through a corporate program since the age of 18. I hit greater tax along the road, so I increased my company pension with a SIPP (tax benefits). I'm now 50 and would love to expand my finances more aggressively; there are a few automobiles I still want to drive and a few mega-vacations that I still want to take.
You can employ another adviser, but Julie Anne Hoover is my one who provides guidance. She has years of knowledge in the financial markets, and her approach has worked for me in the past, leading to my success. She offers points of entrance and exit for the securities I prioritize.
I located her, sent her an email, and scheduled a call; hopefully, she will reply because I want to start the new year off financially strong.
I had a similar problem. Homeless people were breaking into apartments and camping outside the apartment building, so my wife didn’t feel safe. We asked the landlord if they own other properties. Luckily, the landlord owned 5 other properties. They worked with us, so we moved into another property owned by the landlord in a safer neighborhood.
and yet you and YOUR PEOPLE always vote Democrat. You caused this happening all over the country. Congrats.
@@SamuelGriffin I don’t vote because it is waste of time. People are going to do whatever they want no matter what.
Great advice 👍 thanks
Good thinking👍
If they allow this to get out of hand there will be no more safe neighborhoods. Imagine what this state or anyone's state would look like if half the population lived on streets, in cars, vans and Rvs because they could not afford the rent. Maybe the WEF wants the world to look like one big Mad Max movie. The rich can hire private security for protection but everyone else will be poor where there is no middle and upper class people. Like they say " people will own nothing and be happy." Well that is if no one is willing to fight for freedom and only obey like little puppies.
This is a perfect example of why I do not sign a lease anymore. I am month to month now, after having a horrible experience at the last complex I lived in.
Month to month is expensive. You’re at risk of rental increases
my complex charges an extra $800 a month without a lease and of course it could go up at any time, I'm in a medium suburb not a more expensive big city so I highly doubt most renters can afford to do that.
Blackrock thanks you for your service :P
I consider myself to be a humanitarian but this situation is out of control. Those that have fallen on hard times can and do seek space in the shelters. But those that want to do drugs all day, poop in public and steal stuff will never go into the shelters willingly. Frankly, we should not have to tolerate that second group. We need to empower the courts to force them into rehabs. Enough is enough.
Or, the laws could be enforced, and the perpetrators put in jail.
@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563 which law(s) are you referring to, and where is there space to jail all of these peoples?
@@toemblem vagrancy, littering, causing a public nuisance. As for space in prisons, at least they’ll be indoors.
@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563 ok, thanks for chiming in but there is a reason that is not being done.
@@toemblem yes, democrats don’t like enforcing laws.
The city needs to be held accountable for allowing this sprawling squalor.
What is Martin v Boise decision?
The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. It did not necessarily mean a city cannot enforce any restrictions on camping on public property.
Unfortunately they used the pandemic money to bail out there failed programs. They were near paying the piper with there disastrous budget but they were thrown a lifeline so now it will have nice time to disintegrate.
Not going to happen.
What does the city do with them? And do you want to pay for it? You pay the taxes.
@@mamatrain100 Yes, I’d gladly pay the taxes to have them removed from public areas and provide them with a “campsite” with access to public services.
It is getting closer to the point where the homeless complain about the noise the one and only housed person is making.
lol, sadly maybe
Let the dogs out on them
😂😭
100 percent - my son was running to WORK one day and kitty cornered across and lawned easement and buddy in the tent screamed " get off my effing lawn."
😮😂
I just spoke with one of my closest friends who live in San Diego this afternoon, he told me last week while on his way home from work he was assulted by some homeless guy. He also told me today his wife was attacked in their own apartment building hallway. He said the police don't do anything and the building manager doesn't care about anything as long as the rent is on time. He said they're moving at the end of this month, and if the manager and landlord don't like it he's gonna take legal actions against both. I told them both I would do the same thing if that happend to me.
@@raffpants618 .. things like that happen, my dad was a prosecutor for a few years before he became a criminal defence attorney for 30 years. He saw all kinds of things while being an attorney.
Tell them to vote red or else
F*CK RED ... VOTE BLUE, UNLESS YOU'RE A NAZI SUPPORTER.
Isn’t democrat leadership wonderful?
@@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563 .. alot better than The New Nazi Party Repugs Want.
As a former resident who grew up in Southern California 60s, 70s, and left in 89: you did it to yourselves. You made a hell hole out of what used to be so awesome.
Correct!
@ What'sreal: I moved to San Diego in 1978 and worked downtown for a few years. When I first arrived I remember seeing a few homeless people between the airport and the downtown area but not many. When I brought my wife and children she was shocked by the number even then but it wasn't as bad as now. We lived in La Mesa for 8 years where we never saw the problem at all. We have been gone for some time and can't believe how bad it's become since that time. What is your take on the reason for this change and how to fix it?
Hiring an attorney could cost as much/more than breaking a lease. Story highlighted a horrible problem, but the proposed solutions seemed vacuous.
"hire an attorney" says the attorney
Just withhold rent until it is a few months overdue. Then the landlord will settle for you paying it, rather than going through with the eviction and likely losing out on thousands of dollars. Works every time.
@Dadda Russia TV San Diego I had already followed you before this video! I recognized you in the video.
loser usually pays all attorney fees
@@popehatesrap Exactly - right after acknowledging nothing she could do about it!!!!!
The new PC term “unhoused individuals” is ridiculous. If your unhoused your homeless…lol
Exactly… or chided for not saying “those experiencing homelessness”” they’re more concerned once again for labels then anything else. Meanwhile they feel freer then ever to loaf around, attack people, do drugs and shoot up heroin in the open. urinate and defalcate openly in the streets expecting the rest of us to feel sorry for them simply due to them being “unhoused”. Which is socialist code word to indicate the STATE must house them.
I know I noticed that too...ridiculous
The PC term “unhoused individuals” is asinine. Some useless bureaucrats or politicians get paid to concoct such drivel. Then they try to guilt the rest of us into parroting their BS.
The word is "you're", as in, "you are."
I was stationed in San Diego from 2001-2004 and the homeless problem was out of control back then as well.
If you want to live in a major Cali city my advice is to try to live on a high hill grounds, where those homeless won't be able to push their bumcarts uphill.
I’m from NYC and moved to San Diego in 1989. My rent was $550 a month, in Pacific Beach back then, and I literally lived 1 block from the beach. It was such a beautiful city, and I still keep in touch with the wonderful people I met throughout my stay during those days. I left San Diego in 1993 and will never forget the great memories of such a beautiful city, and now hearing about this is very sad, and disheartening.
Pacific beach is not San Diego 😭😭😭and the 80s and 90s were the worst times for this city lol I’ve heard the statistics from those days match up to Chicago today lol you clearly don’t know nothing about San Diego
Who cares boomer
@@stacks7538 your response is indicative of your ignorance.
The rent for the same place now would be $2500 dollars. California has become unlivable.
My best friend is now paying close to $3000 a month to live in PB. it's crazy.
I been attacked 3 times living in East Village in the past 5 years. The last one I got hit from behind by a crazy person and was rushed to the ER in an ambulance. The cops did nothing, they issued a citation to the crazy person that attacked me from behind and the City Attorney refused to press charges. I called them for a year and they finally returned my call a day after the one year statute of limitations to file charges ended asking me how they could help me. Absolutely ridiculous! Two weeks ago I went to the post office and a crazy man comes rushing out of a camping tent chasing me with a crack pipe and a gas torch in his hand, I literally ran to the middle of the street as cops were passing by and I flagged them down, the cops waved at me, laughed, saw what was happening and kept driving. I called SDPD to report them and when they found out why I was calling they put me on hold for 2 hours on the phone and then hung up. That's SDPD for you. But you will see them taking naps while on duty around the community college and other quiet areas. Why are we paying their salaries for? BTW All three times I was attacked was in plain daylight going to the grocery store. I carry a high powered pepper spray gun concealed in a bag now every time I walk out the door, its simply not safe!
Allen I’m sorry to hear that 😅same issue here. But it’s close to my work I have no choice and East village is cheaper than Other places in downtown. And quieter than the Gaslamp district! May I ask when what time was that happened that the person hit you ? Just curiosity
@@HeHeHoLo around 5PM on a weekday, came up running from behind, I heard loud running thumping sounds coming up behind me before the lights went out, he was a big guy too, it happened on 14th and J street
@@thenarrowwaydisciples that’s so scary 😟 I thought it’s at mid night. Can’t believe it happened in day time 😭😭😭I only got robbed one time in front of Gaslamp sign there last year at midnight.
This comes with the territory of living in the urban jungle.
Make plans to get out of the state. That's really your only option. It's not going to get better until more people vote with their feet. And think about your voting choices. California's political choices have led to the situation it is in now, not random circumstances or some uncontrollable outside force.
Providing “free” housing is a waste of money and does nothing. Many turn down offers of free shelter because that means they have to be sober. They’d rather live in a tent and be high all day. Arresting them and either offering rehab or time in prison is the only way out of it.
This is so sad. San Diego was the last big city in Cali that was not totally gone. LA gone , San Fran -Long gone and now SD. California is truly "Paradise Lost".
They’re getting what they voted for and it’s a beautiful sight to see. Hopefully every democrat voter and their families suffer the consequences of their woke decisions. I couldn’t care less either.
@@ryanblanchard2508 I agree but why don't they learn from their mistakes?
How about the other small towns and rural areas? California is a big state. I had relatives who lived there long ago. I haven't been there in years. I am just wondering how these smaller population areas are doing. I know CA has a big economic structure. I believe their economy is larger than some small nations. If some areas of CA are doing better and don't have these problems, what are they doing differently? BTW, I worked in the educational system in Houston for years and helped a lot of at-risk students get through high school and then go on to community college. So I get that this is a complex problem. If people want to make it out of homelessness, they need shelter but also transportation to a job. This usually means some kind of vehicle plus gas money and money for repairs (meaning they have to have a bank account and be saving up for unexpected expenses.) Banks charge fees if you don't keep a minimum balance. So there's another expense. Then if you have a felony on your record (and it can be easier to have a felony than you think), you are really dead in the water. Apartments often won't rent to you and no one wants to hire you. I have wondered if a non-profit could run a "workshop" making simple products so that people could get some work experience to put on a resume. Maybe a bus could pick up people and bring them to work and there would be showers and basic medical care onsite, maybe drug and alcohol counselling. I know that these types of workshops were used at one point to employ mentally-challenged individuals. Could something like this be done with homeless people? Of course, if an individual is truly stuck in addiction or simply doesn't want to follow any rules (and there are a few of those), then you really can't help them. However, I don't feel you have to allow camping on the street. Ugly as it is, about all you can do is provide an area outside of town, maybe put in a portable toilet and do garbage pickup, and that's about it. I guess my philosophy is help those who will take the help but realize a certain portion are going to go their own way. An ugly fact but a realistic one. They don't have the right to just camp anywhere.
@@ryanblanchard2508 get off our dick worry about yourself gang
@@ryanblanchard2508 Exaaaaaaaaaactly... Watch me not care.
California in general is expensive to live, but southern Cali even more. I can't imagine paying high rent and you can't even live comfortably due to your surroundings..
Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all day long. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. If they are aggressive, screaming, talking gibberish, talking to imaginary people, they are on meth and wasp dope. One dosage of P2P based meth causes paranoia and schizophrenia after only one dosage.
How do they afford drugs? They steal from stores various items such as tools, baby stuff, hygiene products, and such and sell for little just to get next fentanyl pill. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties. They call it boosting.
These people aren’t on the streets because of finances, it’s because of drugs and mental health.
Bay area is the most expensive
I wouldn’t agree.
Never been to the nor bay area?
You voted for it. Live with it don't run away to TX and mess that state up.
Texas is already messed up buddy …
Texas is messed up lol every state is in their own way
Texas sends homeless here... Maybe we should ship them back??
@@learnmathwithme3864 except California voted for this and frowned upon other states on how they deal with this issue. You voted for it Bud Light Drinker, enjoy the homeless.
Texas IS just as bad. It is an absolute dump. So is Florida. Crime is out of control there as well. I visit my sister there once a year. I go in hang with my sister and her husband for one week, eat BBQ, and then get the hell out. I remember walking with my sister in downtown San Antonio and heard gun fire. Didn't even faze them. They said oh that just the projects over there. I was shocked.
I visited San Diego just one time in 2015 and was amazed how beautiful and clean it was. I fell in love and planned to move there by 2020. Well, life happened, I didn’t move, but hearing this downtown homeless issue, is very sad.
It'll get much worse before it gets better. The younger generations are largely ultra left wokies, and they will vote in politicians who make today's leaders look like Ronald Reagan.
You got lucky.
I can promise these landlords are going to be as difficult about it as possible
the developers created the crisis, its the "jewel city" model that has been developed in about a dozen or so cities, I live in Atlanta which is one of them. The idea was to create a city center for the wealthy to "live work play" only you get this instead. All the "play" gets pushed out too, independent clubs and restaurants can't afford rent, instead we get dollar stores and quick trips, only big corporations like that can afford to do business here. its a total wash, and academics in urban planning were warning of the socioeconomic problems before they started building. There just isn't affordable housing available in these cities, they start an affordable housing project and its filled before they open, its a couple hundred apartments and 3x the applicants.
@@notverynotoriousg5674 Yes. It was an unsustainable model from the very beginning
lol it's Cali tell them you're breaking the lease and moving out and they should give you back fees or you'll stay and stop paying rent. They won't be able to evict you for 1+ year and have to pay a ton of attorney fees. If you stop paying rent they will work with you to get you out.
@notverynotoriousg you're right, and it's the same thing in many other cities in the US. In Orlando, for example, the only place we can afford living is 1 hour from the city. So 2 hours a day just commuting to work.
@@philipp3001 Ugh. That’s a rough commute. Sorry to hear buddy.

You can thank Ronald Reagan for the mentally ill out on the street .And ohh the was a republican .
Well put
Well stated....
I just came from overseas for one month vacation, and initially I planned to spend it all in SD downtown, but one week later I changed my mind and moved to mission valley.
I’v seen ppl vomiting in the sidewalk, using drugs, collapse, and it’s smell bad whenever there are homeless
this getting out of hands, and those ppl need help and attention, we cannot ignore them for ever
We will send them to live in shipping containers put in desert cities soon.
Isn't that too bad that you were inconvenienced. While most of these people who are homeless once lived in houses and were priced out of the real estate as they got older or handicapped. why don't you just go back to where you came from if you don't like San Diego. A lot of these people slaved away at minimal wage and now can't afford the rent if they retire I'll get old. everybody has the right to live and some are not living as well as others isn't that too bad that you were inconvenienced. It doesn't matter what religion you are most religions preach that you should take care of the people who have less. Take care of the old the disadvantaged the week it doesn't matter if you're a Christian or a Muslim. you can't call yourself either if you are complaining and not helping!
@@dougca7086 I could not agree more
Vacation. You’re not even from here. Go home and gather facts about how it is here. Please
MV isn't exactly a shinning jewel either! Alot of human trafficking, homeless, and drugs!
My daughter is leaving her apt in Austin in a nice neighborhood because a low income building was built across the street from her. Somehow, that attracted the homeless. She doesn't have to break a lease, fortunately, but it's expensive to move. The authorities don't care.
Call your Governor. You elected him.
Time to recall San Diego mayor Todd Gloria because he doesn't do a damn thing about homeless problem.
What is Martin v Boise decision?
The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. It did not necessarily mean a city cannot enforce any restrictions on camping on public property.
@D G Not all Republicans are the answer either. Voter had a choice to elect Larry Elder by recalling Gavin Newsom. Larry elders was the high vote getter and would be Governor now. He ran on fixing the homeless situation first
I haven't been to downtown San Diego for 6-7 years. It looks like it has gotten far worse. I recall a concentration of homeless near a Greyhound station and a few here and there. Not overwhelming. I really didn't see any at the tourist destinations. There were lots of condo and apartment complexes going up. Downtown is looking more like Los Angeles' skid row.
It is very bad, my spouse has a channel of all his daily encounters from living out there.

This issue is not a California issue, but a nationwide issue. At this point, it’s criminal negligence of our local government who allow these issues to grow and flourish. We are not safe in our cities, our kids are not safe in our cities. Nothing that has been proposed or enacted has alleviated the problem.
This is absolutely taxation with representation and we must demand that our government enact change.
I'm surprised that there has been no national attempt at a tax revolt. Years of public funds being transferred by federal and state governments into corporate coffers.
Money needs to be spent carefully, for me choose investing my money properly rather than spending like a fool.
To get rich in life, you need to spend less and Invest more. You don't expect to spend 90%, invest 10% and sit to make more wealth.
So correct you need to live well below your means
Not really below your means, but have a profitable investment.
For sure, you're right,
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, i am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
The stench is horrible! I am so glad I don’t have to live nor work down there😔 Wishing the best to those that have to deal with it AND I hope there will be a solution to fix this someday soon🙏🏾
yup! really bad
yeh quit voting blue libtards
It's a shame the homeless crisis now CONTROLS the city, and after numerous discussions, meetings, and proposals about how to "solve the problems" for years, it is now an EPIDEMIC!
This report is going to make it more difficult for landlords to get future tenants to sign leases, which will contribute to partially empty buildings, and a decline in discretionary income spent on bars, restaurants, etc.
San Diego is in serious trouble! 🤔
San Diego is on it's way to become another Detroit. That's why they are starting to open up Casinos. They are already planning for the future.

All of the "smart" people should have invited a couple of the down and out, dumb homeless people to their meetings, and discussions, or at least had a conversation about rent control and other likewise ways to have an inclusive community the right way.
Some of the landlords purposely keep their buildings partially empty anyways to drive up demand excusing this horrid practice on software and the "market."
It's already happening, and there's always someone who wants to sign a lease.
This doesn't even look like my hometown of San Diego. I lived downtown between 1990 and 2005 and we had like 4 homeless people, typically begging on 5th Avenue and a small cadre at Island and 7th... hardly any homeless people. Glad I escaped in 2006 to Joshua Tree, CA. San Diego went from a paradise town of a few hundred thousand in 1949 when I was born there in Ocean Beach, to an overdeveloped nightmare of millions when I finally fled in 2006. It's unrecognizable to me now. Sad.
I left California in 1978 because I thought it was becoming unlivable even then. All of its problems for the past 20+ years have been completely foreseeable. The same situation exists with many US cities now. Yet… so many people who live there refuse to realize they are getting exactly what they voted for.
Oh wow, what a friggin genius you are, right?? GFY, you lying pos. Why do you hate filled, useless Donnie lovers think the homeless problem is the fault of politicians?? Besides the fact you are stupid??
The news needs to stop labeling drug addicts as homeless and call them what they really are. The people who are truly homeless and want to get back on their feet shouldn't be put in the same category as drug addicts. Drug addicts prefer to be on the street and close to where they can get drugs. If they are doing drugs in public they should get arrested. If they get arrested too many times they should go to prison. The City leadership is too busy ribbon cutting and patting self on back.
but so many are drug addicts
LOL. Every city council, board of education and county supervisor meeting I've watched they spend half their time thanking and congratulating each other.
Bingo. Same thing here in New York. But they have the subway system here. That’s where they shoot up when it gets too cold.
They decided years ago that it is cruel to jail people who are suffering from the disease of drug addiction. They will not arrest them. They also will not force them into treatment. They are waiting for them to wake up and choose treatment. Seems pretty inhumane to let them fend for themselves. But what do I know . . .
People don’t generally become addicts out of boredom. They’re usually trying to escape some kind of pain. It may start out as a bad choice but before long it is basically a medical situation. Asking addicts to “just stop” may sound reasonable but it’s not like the world just offers a hand up once you make that move. It is extremely difficult to make that transition. Many of the people who speak so casually about it don’t have the willpower to do it themselves. It serves societies interest to rehabilitate these people. Prisons are not humane or cost effective.
Many downtown shopkeepers want the hell out too! The bad news is there's no guarantee that any new place they go won't turn out this same awful way.
I agree with you about no guarantee because homeless are spreading throughout sandiego. Every area is threatened.
The homeless like warm weather, you need to move to places where it is cold and gets a ton of snow every year. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, the Dakotas is where I would go if I found myself facing homelessness.
I used to live and work in San Diego for 2.5 years between 2019-2021. I used to live in East Village on the 13th street which was only 5 minutes walk from Convention Center. Beautiful part of downtown of San Diego, so it was not long time ago that I left San Diego. I remembered that during my time in San Diego there were not many homeless people in East Village. It seems like the homelessness increased very rapidly in the last 1.5 years.
The homeless bums are going to California from all over the country. CA offers them benefits and has better weather than Chicago!
It's the new western migration only this time, they are on drugs!
If you offer it,,,,they will come! Tell your friends. We can all live in tent communities do our drugs, steal, shit on the streets and harass the working residents. CA will provide, you can walk into any store, grab what you need without paying with no consequences for theft.
When Biden took over everything turning to a disaster!
WOW , I was there just two years ago and I didn't see not one homeless person. I was living in Seattle at the time so I was really impressed. This is sad. One of my favorite towns.
so bottom line: tenant will have to pay a lot. lawyers aren't cheap, neither are legal aids. i called a legal aid for some minor issue and was quoted $675. i ended up researching on Google and did it myself for under $60 bucks
Landlords aint angels. They're the real devils in the whole picture here.
You don't need to be an attorney to do legal work. You need to be a licensed attorney to charge others to do legal work for them.
Contacting a lawyer will cost more that just paying the remaining of your lease and bolting.
Money, money, money. Everywhere you turn. Every s.o.b has their hand out wanting your money and more and more are stealing it one way or another. Those doorbell cameras so popular nowadays show people stealing packages, kids toys in the yard, plants, everything and anything that is not chained down, and even stealing your mail out of your mailboxes hoping to find checks and a few bucks. Many are the homeless, but just as many doing this are neighbors or people who do it as an occupation. Disgusting mess we are all in.
Great Job Sami. Keep up the good work.
they pay premium...for a ghetto neighborhood...Id get an attorney asap and get my money back....

A lot of them are also wealthy foreigners causing rental hikes. They are not in need of housing. They wanted to come now they can deal with the realities that they are apart of.
What would an attorney other than collect money. You signed a contract.
@@harshilpatel7629 move and be done with it....I know it's a contract but move....You may give up your deposit but whatever...
Not only the lease issues, but a lot of the apartments downtown dont have parking garages if they do i know its an extra $$$ for a spot (in some). So that means a lot of residents have to park their car out in the street where the homeless are just going around breaking in to cars or damaging them for no reason. You also have to park blocks away on weekends because its still very busy. I moved to the east village in 2017 and moved out 2018 because we noticed the homeless issue was just getting started and it was ridiculous having to smell sh!t and physically see it on the ground day after day and being harassed. Its so sad but glad i got the heck out of there
😂😂😂😂😂 she called them Unhoused Individuals. Next they’ll be calling cartels Unlicensed Pharmacies.
In case you haven't noticed, the political system in most California cities are allowing the street takeovers by homeless people. There are plenty of laws against living on the sidewalks but are not enforced. The leaders of San Diego allow this blight.
Jails are full, and his isn’t a left/right problem it’s a basic infrastructure problem. It’s also a weather problem. Nobody wants to be homeless in the north east!
@@magesalmanac6424 please tell me how much money the feds have set aside for infrastructure improvements?

I can't imagine paying thousands of dollars a month to be surrounded by squalor and destitution. But where do you expect these people to go? Enforce all the rules you want, but you're still going to have 100s of people with no shelter. They can't just disappear.
@@CameronCourts Yeah, OP is not being very compassionate & empathetic. So are a good number of people who leave comments on other videos pertaining to the homeless crisis -- just an absolute, total lack of caring for these poor people in their poor situation! These are NOT vermin or pests to be gotten rid of -- these are HUMAN FREAKING BEINGS, & they should ALWAYS be treated as such.
Also, you sound like one of those A-hole Republicans who unfairly blame all urban problems on Democratic leaders, without actually looking into how, why, & with whom said urban problems ACTUALLY start. I'll give you a hint: These things have NOTHING to do with Democrats!
But they already knew that there was a homeless problem, Why did they sign a lease and now want to be 'leaseless'?
@wheresimpreza They don't know Murphy's Law, I assume.😷
3 years ago there was approximately 1500 unhoused individuals residing in downtown. A recent report suggests there is now between 8000 to 10,000
I lived in downtown San Diego back in 2002. The homeless crisis in the East Village was so bad then the first thing I was told was not to go there (I lived in Little Italy.) No, this isn't "new". It may be worse, but it isn't "new". Too many of these tenants just didn't do their due diligence and thoroughly research the neighborhood before signing the lease. That's why I have no sympathy for them.
The safety of tenants absolutely should be a valid reason to break the lease
I live in a small town here in south Texas outside of Corpus Christi. There was a proposal to add a mini bus station so residents could travel between towns. Many were upset when the residents in my town demanded and local politicians shut the proposal down. The neighboring towns when through with it and called us small minded. I wondered why and later understood to keep the homeless and panhandlers from taking bus rides to our town. We have no homeless and panhandlers in my town because residents will not give out money or food and there is no bus stops for them to hang out at. There neighboring towns are now dealing with the homeless people issues.
What a bunch of heartless pussies. ' Oh, we are so scared of people who are not just like us and may have some problems, since we are perfect and all and have some things that others don't '. How Christian of you chickenshits! ' Oh, we can't have transportation for young, old and working people because we are afraid of some homeless people might be commuting to panhandle in our perfect little town '. Pathetic, but typical of Texas. Don't you wimpy a-holes kidnap immigrants and bus them all over the country to try and piss everyone off and blame the Dems for all our problems? Talk about undesirables.

@@tranger4579 I was in Corpus Christi in 2022 and in 2023.
Was in downtown on a somewhat quieter Saturday night 5 or 6 weeks ago and noticed the usual homeless person or persons at pretty much every block I drove past. Then parked right next to one that was just standing there watching. Thankfully wasn't accosted. But the thing that really stood out was the smell of urine permeating the air every second of my 3 block walk. That whole area smells....bad.
People are crazy enough to pay 3k+ a month for this!?
I was in San Francisco in 2019 and the homeless situation there was insane. Combine that with the rise in people breaking into cars, and the insanely high prices, many parts of California are a no go for me in terms of living there. I know the homeless situation isn't easy to deal with, but it's a problem that has to be solved.
I spoke at a conference in the 80s in SF....
You could see the homeless problem back then....I was shocked and I come from Chicago...
I've been to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, each city several times from the early 90's into the early 2000's and from what I see in those places just in the last decade alone is about 100 times worse than what I remember.. it is really bad, really, really bad and I thought it was quite bad 20-25 years ago.
It seems like the crisis multiplies at least ten times each passing year. I love California, beautiful state but you couldn't pay me or give me a vacation to go into any of those areas. It's like the people (those with a home) have been conditioned and they either are not allowed to say anything or don't realize just how bad it really has become. I understand some people will get chastised and berated if they speak up.@@mackthnife3
Downtown San Francisco is literally worse than a 3rd world country.
It’s all by design. The homelessness industrial complex. Politicians are the culprit and they should be punished for this crime.
@@marcodarko6941 in terms of your last remarks, I see that here in chicago in relation to violent crime...I used to live on the north side for around 25 years...very hip...lots of fun...safe as can be even late at night...now I see young people on the news being interviewed blocks from where I lived talking about carjackings like they are hot dogs.
I think many are committed by lease or ownership and are in denial to maintain their sense of sanity...very sad...
FYI... Homelessness will always persist in areas where affordable housing options are no longer unavailable🥴
That's basic cause & effect, guys🤷♀️
What a shame. I've only been to San Diego once, about 12 years ago, and It was one of the nicest cities I've ever visited.
San Diego is the perfect place for homeless to be all over the place. I am surprised this huge crisis didn't happen sooner because the weather is not bad and the homeless can survive out there because it doesn't really get that cold at night expect for a few weeks during the holidays. The beaches from Mexico to Ventura are literally riddled with homeless. It makes a bad experience for people that want to visit beaches. You are either hit up for money or the benches are dirty or there is garbage or other nuisances all over the place. For example, free parking structures tend to smell like urine. They basically take over the best areas of the City that people go to get away.
We all know the complaints, what we don't do is solve the problem. End stage capitalism puts people on the street. Drugs are a cheap comfort compared to housing and mental health care.
If you had to live out of doors, wouldn’t you also choose the best parts of the city? Just saying
A solution I would suggest is the city could just close a golf course and relocate the homeless there. After all, tents were made for camping on grass.
I avoid parks because the homeless took them over. I miss the balboa park rose garden. 🌹
It's the same for the weather in Central Florida down, but it's generally not tolerated except for liberal Miami(which is turning and sent their homeless to...) and Fort Lauderdale, downtown Lauderdale is the worse, they let a tent city flourish right beside the library, they broke it up after a couple years but they just dispersed over to the train station and McDonalds and the surrounding roads, whole town smells like urine and a young girl got attacked on the main street couple weeks back. I lived in El Cajon back in the 80s, shame SD got so bad.
You vote for clowns you get a circus.
should have looked before they leapt...don't blame the homeless, many are decent
@@MONEYAINTATHANG100 I only care about the ones not on drugs. How much is that, like 1%? .... The others can move to their own island.
Do you really think you have a choice in 2024 of who gets elected??? If you haven’t figured it out yet, they are chosen….
Stop using unhoused. It is homeless. I left downtown for this exact reason. They are disgusting and have ruined the area. The city needs to remove them and do something with them. It is horrible!
Imagine paying $4000 a month to walk outside and see people pooping and pissing in front of your apartment. To have to listen to these people at night yelling and screaming "you took it, where's it at." or listen to a female screaming "stop" is super annoying and scary.
I don't have to imagine I lived through this and moved.
Anyone who pays that much to live in downtown San Diego needs their head examined. Fyi: the East Village has ALWAYS had this problem. It's not new. The only difference now is as opposed to being concentrated in one area (East Village), the homeless are now EVERYWHERE. But still ..it isn't a new problem here.
I left 14 years ago and use to go downtown all the time. I’m so glad I left but it was bad then and whenever I go back to visit it’s even worse. My heart goes out and many prayers regarding this situation 😢
It's Like Going Into A Lost World. We Left & We Don't Look Back. San Diego To Seattle All Democratic Disasters. How People Can Live With Themselves Is Astonishing. I Have My 40 Acres & A Mule.

This breaks my heart….San Diego…..always my second favorite city……this is a bummer….
The lack of affordable housing in metro San Diego is rediculous. I'm amazed that there aren't hundreds of thousands more homeless here.
Every local government it the US caused this problem by mandating single family homes and restricting density. If you're going to be homeless, take a bus to a sunshine state.
@@fluxcapacitor1621 In most states there is still affordable housing. In San Diego area the California Realtors Association ownes the politicians and local government, making all housing scarce, contruction rare, and prices obscenely high.

Not too long ago some crack pot was throwing the silverware and dinner plates at the customers in my restaurant until security was called, it's crazy out there.
I was in San Diego for convention in June. I was shocked. It seemed every other retail space was vacant then.
It's horrible downtown. Smells like piss in doorways. Some homeless tents smelling like feces. Crazy people are yelling for no reason. I don't blame them for breaking leases.
That is what water hoses are for.
California you voted for this!
This story is crazy. Where I live, even though it's a 1-year lease, they don't legally bound you to it. If you move, they just want a 30-day notice if your lease is going to be broken. That way they can go through other tenant applications.
Those residents should be suing the city for having to move. It's incredible to me that people will pay taxes to live in those cities then not hold the city responsible for not doing their job. Which is what people pay taxes for. Literal clown world.
Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all day long. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. If they are aggressive, screaming, talking gibberish, talking to imaginary people, they are on meth and wasp dope. One dosage of P2P based meth causes paranoia and schizophrenia after only one dosage.
How do they afford drugs? They steal from stores various items such as tools, baby stuff, hygiene products, and such and sell for little just to get next fentanyl pill. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties. They call it boosting.
Then American blue collar works should sue the State Gov for losing their jobs due to harboring and exploiting foreign blue collar workers living here illegally.
State officials within California must really despise their citizens. It's only going to get worse with the coming food and energy crisis.
Why do you think they are leaving?
Why dont they move all those people to the Midwest in the middle of knowwhere cities and make it illegal to camp in downtown and residential areas
They don’t care.they benefit from it.they are in nice locations far from the issues
and the stock market crash of 2024
Why do you stupid people think this problem was caused by politicians? Did Donnie tell you that only he can solve all our problems and you believed him? Like a complete idiot would? We have plenty of food and energy, you moron, what we don't have is affordable housing for the non wealthy, or mental health and addiction services. Couple that with no place to but them and not enough mental health facilities and here we are. That is a greed and speculation problem caused by the real estate industry inflating housing and real estate prices to make easy money, not a political one. What do you think non wealthy families do with a out of control family member with addiction, or mental health problems? They ship them off to a city were maybe the can get some free care, or die in the streets, or they end up in prison. Oh, but it all the generic state officials fault, says the clueless simpleton.
I moved out of San Jose and the state because I had homeless people and partiers hanging out on the steps and the general vicinity of my apartment building a lot. After years of it, it was just too much. Fortunately, I was on a month to month lease.
When you participate in gentrification by buying & renting overpriced condos & apartments whose construction kicks out & displaces residents from affordable housing & you’re mad that those past residents are now homeless have no where else to go & would rather stay in the city for easy access to everything & shelters & now it’s an inconvenience to u 😢
"unhoused"? What a stupid term.
It's the new politically correct terminology...oh my
the government should force these people to shelter. if they refuse, send them in jail or mental health facilities, if needed to be.
We don’t really have mental health facilities. We need to open up asylums again
The other night I came across a woman wedged in between a small structure and the convenience store at a gas station between Del Mar and Solana Beach. She was clean, neat and had her belongs packed into small satchels. When I came back out of the store I was prepared to give her 20 dollars if she needed it (and did) and she was in the midst of collecting her belongings (again neatly packed bags for travel) and moving off the gas station property. I drove away but could not stop thinking about her possibly having to stay as close to that brightly lit convenience store as possible all night long (it was only 6pm at that point). I thought out my plan and then went back and asked her if she was in trouble. She nodded "yes" and then briefly told me her name and that she was an artist. She had come down from Northern California and thought she could find housing (am thinking some sort of agency help with finding shelter). I don't know anything about how she wound up her situation but she could have left an abusive partner and had to come up with some sort of plan quickly (she came down from another extremely expensive town on the California coast), she could have reached the end of the line economically in Northern California and thought she could fix her situation better in San Diego, or I don't know what. All I knew is that I couldn't bear the thought of a woman in her mid to late 40s, maybe early 50s, sitting out on a curb in the dark and the cold alone all night. I got her a room at the Hilton across the street. At least she had a warm room, a nice bathroom, and a lock on the door from around 6:30pm to 11am. Unfortunately, that was a god send to her that night but what happens after? The receptionist at the Hilton told me San Diego is notorious for not having enough shelter space or housing for people in this woman's situation. The woman did not in the least come across as mentally ill and she wasn't on drugs. If she has to live on the streets for an extended period of time, she will come across like that to most.
This is a very sad sign of the times. I lived in the Golden State for a decade and San Diego was always the city everyone wanted to live in.
The last time i visited Balboa Park in 2014, it was still nice, but this video does not make me want to go back.
so check the areas before you sign the lease, drive round at night or day.
“Talk to the landlord about a settlement”. … it is the bad actors in the real estate market on a national level who have been ARTIFICIALLY INFLATING RENTAL PRICES by working together almost as one large company.

We have the same nightmare in San Fransico where city and state government have severely mismanaged the situation, I have no companion or patience for the homeless drug addicts. Hope they all expire from overdosing!
99.9% of the homeless prefer living in their own filth and outside civilized society. Put them out to sea on a cruise ship that "accidently sinks", but make sure there are no innocent animals involved in the "accident"
It’s a shame California local & state government allows this to happen. Residents pay taxes & help to build their community, but have to live amongst dangerous & unsanitary encampments that have rats, needles, feces, and urine. There should be an ordinance that nobody is allowed to live/sleep on sidewalks or at parks. Homeless people who have mental issues or drug addiction should live at state run shelters or facilities because they can’t take care of themselves.

When my husband had a sudden accident 2 years ago and is now paralysed and has stage 4 heart failure we lost everything. Home, business, belongings. We have a 10 and 8 year old. We ended up homeless and in father joes shelter. After 3 months we were incorrectly housed into an updtairs unit that my husband couldn't access. Back at the shelter we learned my son caught COVID and the shelter staff locked us out while at the dt refused to allow me to collect my belongings. We then lived in our van and the kids at my mother in laws (she lived up a flight of stairs) for a week. We were able to go to a hotel then we're accepted into salvation army for if hope.
One month in and the sprinkler broke and flooded the unit ruining the last of anything we owed. The clothes we had just replaced and got for back to school we caught in fire when the staff at door of hope attempts to dry them without washing. The soaked clothes, shoes, stuffed animals, blankets were to heavy and the whole laundry room caught fire. We were fast asleep and learned of the fire in the morning.
Salvation army refused to replace saying they had no insurance.
Fast fwd we are 6months into our inner year stay and i learn the the case manager had me as inactive for the housing referral program the entire time. After filling a grievance the director and the head director assured me they fixed my program. Only to find out i was inactive 4 more times over the last 6; months. I've contacted directors, other homeless agencies, hiding authority, housing commission, mayor, city counsel, Dept of Justice, health and human services, lawyers, health care workers, news featured us , i have some to regional task force, went to homeless conferences, mayors luncheons. Connected osbudsmen, just to be told that "yes they can see all the mistakes, they agree ive been treated wrong, discriminated on, and they can't help me they will pray for me though".
No one can tell me who's to be held accountable for the mistakes.
No one will help correct the mistake.
I was evicted from salvation army. They outright refused to give my children the Christmas gifts from the angel tree . They refused me case management for 6 months during the eviction. But also refused to remove themselves so i could be case managed elsewhere
They never provided a single resource. I lost 4 referrals in that year because they kept returning my mail to sender. Then they would say " sorry human error"
Im currently in a hotel unaware if what my next move is because the new case manger who btw is wonderful, can't get the ces/rtfoh to let the grudge go and house my family. I am the longest standing family in the ces program. I have homeless, children, disabled, medicaly terminal 24 hour care dependent husband but somehow rtfoh. Doesn't consider my family high priority. And won't allow my case manager to house me in an open available unit that they currently have available.
The charities/churches are held to no accountability, they don't have to follow ada, they don't have to share my account notes with the other homeless agencies. They don't care where u go or offer any type of resources. I have emails, texts, videos, screenshots of missed referrals, witnesses responses from every entity i listed to prove everything i say.
I have never been on any public assistance until my husband injury. My kids are watching their father die all while losing their toys, their home, their stability and will have to eventually deal with the passing of their father. God forbid i don't find a way I'll end up outside and cps with take my kids my husband will have to go to nursing and I'll be jailed for not sheltering even though the shelter kicked us out.i don't use drugs, i was not a prostitute I'm not trans i don't have aids I'm a us citizen. Who paid taxes 28 years. However I'm not a high enough priority to be blessed with an affordable housing unit I'm my home town. No one is held accountable. They do what every they want and suffer no reprecussions. They need to audit case managers, open a 3rd party company/concern line, make them account for the donations and government grants, make clients review the experience. Require transparency. This is horrible!! Sad!! And with all the money they have received in the last 2 years, they could have bought every single family a 3 befroom home...

Maybe somewhere safe to sleep in the car and take showers and the smallest possible storage unit for my belongings. I’m single, no kids. I don’t need much space. But the small spaces I am seeing are too expensive even if I work as much as I possibly can.

Before moving back to Boston when I was in Southern Cali 2012 I had never seen anything like it before just homeless people everywhere but, now it seems all U.S. cities are having an influx of homeless people moving into cities all over. We complain here about the methadone mile in Boston but, California's homeless population just doesn't compare. I never saw anything like that before in my life. I have heard that it just keeps getting worse out on the West Coast. Many of the people I met and made friends with have since moved out if San Diego. It's truly sad that this is happening all over 😢
What is Martin v Boise decision?
The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. It did not necessarily mean a city cannot enforce any restrictions on camping on public property.
It’s the entire west coast including Seattle and Portland.
California is idiotic. Losing millions in tourist dollars. Always wanted to see more especially the north coast, but now there are nicer places to visit.
@@cherryfireice8216 go see the north coast it’s still fine just stay out of SF.
Boston???? Oh you should worry because this crap will hit your city too.....Your goon of a mayor, Michelle Wu is your version of AOC and hell bent on making that city more "progressive"....
San Diego…no….the whole country is a shadow of its former self.
You get what you vote for, and lot's you didn't
Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all day long. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. If they are aggressive, screaming, talking gibberish, talking to imaginary people, they are on meth and wasp dope. One dosage of P2P based meth causes paranoia and schizophrenia after only one dosage.
How do they afford drugs? They steal from stores various items such as tools, baby stuff, hygiene products, and such and sell for little just to get next fentanyl pill. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties. They call it boosting.
@@voodootrucker1896 yup.
Florida has never had it better....even after getting rocked by a hurricane.
@@johnbeckwith1361 damn here in San Diego there’s homeless everywhere
I've lived in Detroit my entire life and we never have allowed tents on the streets... this is such a west coast thing I'll never understand it. The city provides shelters for the homeless for the most part. I dont blame these people leaving San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle. Truly disgusting there is no law enforcement out there to fix this problem with the homeless.
You can provide shelters, but you can’t force people to live in them. They want to use drugs, and shelters do not allow that, so they stick to the streets.
@@stephenlight647 ... but you can force people to use them. You provide shelters, food, medical and work programs. They must present a photo ID and are allowed to stay for 6 months, if showing improvement they can stay longer to succeed. If not, they get bussed out of county and cannot return for 2 years. The city/county has a 2-hour loitering law, a no camping law, a no panhandling law, no littering law, no being "under the influence" in public law, etc. The police should be arresting them, anything on their person gets put in an envelope and returned upon release. Anything not on their person gets impounded (just like anyone else), they either pay for the return of their impounded items within 30 days or they get sold at auction or thrown away. You can make people follow the law ... the government and police just aren't doing their jobs ...
I was born & raised in San Diego, laws like I mentioned used to exist. I have wonderful memories of San Diego, I was fortunate. The West Coast's Democratic/Lliberal attitudes have ruined some truly beautiful states. We need to bring back RESPECT & TOUGH LOVE
@@kimmidojo6102 This is so true. This is how Detroit works, and is only getting better which is why downtown is booming with new construction projects and people moving back downtown. They feel safe and its clean. There are homeless in every city but Detroit is nothing like what you see out west. I have friends in San Francisco that pay over 5000 a month for rent and there is human feces and needles and tents when they walk out their front door. And only getting worse.
Don't they live in abandoned houses? And no one has a tent in Detroit cause that's how you die in the winter 😂
No they dont.... thats just the media spin on detroit. You can't even get a studio for less than 1500 downtown. The bad houses are in the outskirts of downtown. The city has been progressively tearing them down and turning them into new apartment buildings. Major gentrification going on, but the homeless are dealt with entirely different than like out west. Tent living would never be accepted, or any of the bs that the west coast allows. No wonder everyones leaving California. Its ran by morons.
Unhoused? Who's feelings are we protecting?
The helplessness and failure of the government to prevent the degradation of our public spaces signals a dystopian future
I work in that area, IDK how anyone would want to live there. Downtown San Diego is beautiful but it's not worth paying all that money in rent for an area that is overrun by the homeless. It's dirty, dangerous, and full of unsightly going ons.
Goings-on
@@zachkonicek thank you so much for that! You knew what I meant though right?
My dad delivers mail in DT and got assaulted with on of these the homeless/criminals. They attack people unprovoked! And they know calling the police is nearly useless. Advice: start carrying pepper spray or self defense tool.
Or, better yet, a gun.
that's a pretty big deal beating up a postal carrier. Pop's might want to have the postal inspector types deal with this instead of the local cops.
Recent example comes from Chula Vista where a homeless guy came up behind a young woman sitting on a bench waiting for the trolly and dragged a knife across her throat.
Once a lady sat outside our lobby on a bench and talked loudly on her cell. This was a nice area where people waited for a cab or person to be picked up. Well if you ever lived in a highrise you will know that taking next to a tall building carries your voice up the side of the building. So after hearing her yap all week into the late night, I took a picture of water and poured it outside my window. She hollered for a while but she never sat on that bench again. If you don't like what's going on outside, just stay in and keep some water. Maybe use food coloring next time.
Landlords are always two steps ahead of us.
I made a few trips to San Diego back in the late 90s…didn’t see anything like this. Sad what America is turning into as this situation is widespread.
San Diego's government has caused this problem because they only have homeless services downtown. Homeless services need to be supported in each community not just downtown.
Every local government it the US caused this problem by mandating single family homes and restricting density. NIMBYs are to blame.
this goes back to the 50s, the real cost of building the white suburbs was shouldered by the inner cities. There are are nifty tricks the govts and businesses pull if they want something to pass or not because they know the voting base, the city residents vote progressively, and the suburbs vote against everything progressive. If you don't want public transit tax to pass you get all the neighboring counties to vote on it too. if you want the tax to pass you just get the city to vote.
@@sillyseattlecat there 18 cities within San Diego yet homeless shelters are downtown where are the other homeless shelters?
Are you kidding? The more homeless services that are created, the more homeless people come to take advantage of these services. Why do you think the problem keeps getting worse?
@@jasonjames4254 so how you doing in your narrow minded world with shelter and food🤯
You guys better get after that on the scene reporter. She said "homeless" instead of "unhoused."
