Since Today mayor Eric Garcetti agreed that it is illegal to camp on Venice Beach today was the final cleanup of zone number two on Venice Beach California I was there all day to record it Shout out to former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today is his birthday happy birthday Arnold
The city should not have allowed all those bums to camp out on the beach. I can only imagine how much this clean up has cost the tax payers.
But don't taxpayers just pay a flat amount from their earnings?

@@mikek9488 Rude remark
@@bcb2396 no, it wasnt.
& the landfill,. Bursting now!😐
As long as the politicians keep calling it "camping" it will never go away.
Greed has ruined California.
@liveyourbestlife 1 they wouldnt be allowed to. So we will never know.
@@beexcellent8809 if you people keep falling for the politicians lies...no shit.
Yeah, great point. Camping🙄
I've never heard a sane politician call homelessness camping, so quit trying to politize homelessness. If you want someone, or something to blame, go to the source of all of this mess. The unregulated real estate industry which makes it own rules and pricing....cha CHING!!! The wealthy win and get richer and the poor and needy get tossed into the street. All for profits.
Man, it's hard to believe they let it get so out of control?!
Corporate greed has created this there is nowhere for them to go .
@@jamied8678 lack of desire to work, drugs, alcohol etc. Some have some mental issues but others might have lost their marvels in search for the ultimate high.
Cleaning the beach as well as all the way up to the governor's office, massive clean up. 😎
Like your choice of soundtracks, and they should magnet sweep that beach, needles might be laying around.
I've performed numerous acts/feats in Venice. I do what I do out of LOVE and RESPECT. .....And also, because of the history of the place. Tai Chi Chuan, Snake style, I POP, Rap, Dance,Play Drums and I can Sing.......these I do free as an offering. And All performed BLIND FOLDED.
I'll be turning 53 soon and it takes a lot to do all those things throughout the course of 24 hours. I guess you could say I made myself a living sacrifice !!!
OMG these camps were a biohazard.
You can say that again! Eeeks
Yes they also have a machine to sweep the sand for needles!
Those piss bottles 🤮
and they talk about wearing a mask to stop Covid 19. Oh the hypocrisy from the evil Los Angeles government.
Yes they are. The sand must be so toxic. Yuck
it is ABOUT TIME for folks to NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO SQUAT IN SQUALLER anywhere they dang well choose.
@ThaKronDon They have to take some responsibility for themselves and pick up after themselves and they don’t need somebody chasing after them or giving them some sleeping pod that they can just filth up. If they were just decent homeless people they would keep a decent little area but they’re not there a scourge and they’re choosing to act like a scourge so why would anybody want to invest in giving them a nice new little sleep space that they’re just going to turn into a mouse ridden hovel??? In some ways people have to earn a decent place to live if those people want a decent place to live they would be showing that they were deserving of that because they would keep their area decent but they don’t they don’t even try everywhere you go homeless people seem to be filthy and gross and yucky and spread out all of their filthiness as far as they possibly can. Decent people don’t act that way. That’s the problem the homeless people aren’t decent people if they were decent people and they were just homeless it would be different.

You’ve done a wonderful and very kind way of showing the public what’s happening . This is very disturbing and reaffirms the need for permanent placement and opening of mental health institutions .
@Shelly, these people need jobs, incomes, roofs over thier heads, NOT MENTAL INSTITUTIONS.......
@@justferolalbertastrongandf5143 lots of jobs out there right now Drugs addicts have a hard time with holding one as do the mentally ill . Neither could just keep the roof over their heads . It’s not about having Jobs or roofs .They need full time care for everyone’s safety .
@@Hell5150
Maybe some are but not all, and German in Venice has even interviewed some that were truly down on luck. I just dont think human beings should be dumped into an even worse nightmare than the one thier living. Mental Institutions would keep them drugged and locked up and thats not the solution. How about more rehab facilities to help these folks get better so they can be part of society.
@@justferolalbertastrongandf5143 That's where you're wrong. A roof over their heads by all means, in a professional facility where their mental illnesses can be addressed and controlled, maybe even cured.
@@justferolalbertastrongandf5143 It is probable the majority of homeless do NOT want to be "a part of society". They are not interested in the 9-to-5 existence, paying bills and all the rest, not to say most could even begin to live that life. They need shelter and care.
German in Venice is the best journalist on L.A.'s west side. The ones getting paid six figures never leave their studios. Real Journalists go where the story is, get dirty, and tell us everything. I LOVE YOU, German in Venice
Deserves a ❤
"The ones getting paid six figures..."? German in Venice makes about six figures from this UA-cam channel.
Completely agree. A hell of a normal guy just trying to make a living. Most of these guys showing the homeless don’t even talk about what’s going on. Not German in Venice, he tells it play by play.
Hats off to German In Venice !!!
@@gregmoore66 Maybe, but he's out there actually earning it as opposed to people who sit in the studio. That was the point of the comment.

@@yourname5566_1 Peter Pan needs to grow up!
It’s therapeutic to see Venice beach getting cleaned. Hopefully this will be ongoing and continue helping the homeless with services. Now we all can enjoy a safe and clean Venice beach. Shoutout to all the workers that’s cleaning and helping the homeless. That’s a tough job..
Too much is done lots of homeless aren't from LA too
What services are the homeless providing for society? What do they give back???
It's so sad....on all accounts. A majority of the homeless have mental issues that make it impossible for them to live a normal life (holding jobs, paying bills, just fitting in). Idk, it just hurts my heart.
@@pennyblanton1904 so how about the younger homeless like “Spoon and broke” in Germans other video? No mental illness there just laziness.
@@sonicflash5090 I feel sorry for mentally ill and physically disabled or elderly homeless folks not younger people who come from other states and sit there to do drugs, refusing any help.
Perhaps finally, the residents can claim back their beach. The fact that mice were breeding in the tents is disgusting.
It’s a public beach. The people that live there don’t own it, that is a common mistake that a lot of selfish people make.
It's more disgusting that stupid people have kids
@Sam Hureuz Depends on how they became homeless. If it’s due to not being able to afford housing they can get help. Most of those homeless on the beach are druggies who are not looking for houses.
Pets?
I know I'm gonna enjoy the beach free of trash, needles, and human waste!
I cant wait to go running without the air smelling like urine!
Yes it's a *public beach* for *everyone,* is *not* a place *people can claim* as their *own personal home,* or toilet, or dumb!
I really enjoyed your videos about the homeless because as far as I can tell you don't judge the homeless people and nor do you judge the city you are a good journalist. And this is coming from somebody who was a journalist for over 40 years. Bravo
Now the rest of the state needs to do the same thing!!!! Long overdue . Looking awesome. People finally have their beach back as they should!!!!!!!
All they did is push people out of that area and moved them elsewhere.
So wealthy people can get a suntan while these poor people are stuck in an alley way begging for scraps of food and you're proud of this country .
Time to clean up the mountains too. Every year we’re in danger they almost burn us up.
I really hope this doesn’t amount to being ‘room service’. That beach is going to cost a fortune to clean up after the encampments are gone. Who’s going to lay on the beach or let their little kids run in the sand with all those rats running around? What a nightmare.
And needles.
Most of the rats will dissapear when the tents are gone. It's much worse with the needles...
Cali residents are taxed to the max and can’t even safely use public beaches. The Dems care sooooo much. Disgusting to pollute such and iconic natural gem. Makes me so sick. All those sick people protecting the vagrants. Where are the taxpayers right? I guess they have a right to pay for the cleaning. Nobody would bring their children to that beach ever again.
@@lillybell2557 there's other beaches to visit other than Venice. Any part of LA is a shithole orange county beaches are much nicer and cleaner I don't see why tourists mainly go to that one spot. Maybe cause the international Airport is closer? Idk
@@MayorMcheese12 good points. Guess the LA voters got what they asked for. Wonder if this will wake them up? Probably not.
Big shout out to the Sheriff for getting the ball rolling and making the lazy indiferrent city officials do their job.
Yup, it really has shown me what a difference one person can make. He lit that fire under the cops ass.
Seriously.. its about time.
Cheap tinyhomes are not expensive to make at all, they need to build small solutions for these people, and enable free housing for cleaning up the streets, and landscaping the grass and trees around the city.
@@dertythegrower agreed ,but politicians will exploit the need and pay thousands for what you are describing. Homelessness is big business. The people managing this issue are paid big bucks and need job securi

@@jaxy5898 Can't blame the cops if their hands are tied by liberal politics
It is incredible how much effort goes into cleaning up each tent site.
Pretty sure have to rope off each section clean trash but more importantly im guessing they have to run a metal detector over the area for all them needles.
I know. They turn a tent into a mini garbage dump.
@@moewilson4605 more like an environmental hazard, imagine taking your child to the beach and they get stuck by a needle they left behind, who going to be responsible when they get a deadly disease.

I think I'll wait a decade or two before I trust the sands of Venice Beach with my bare feet.
Wait till you hear stories of people stepping on needles in Venice beach and getting HIV or Hepatitis. 🤦♂️. I will also wait a good 10 years.

Thanks Mike for simply showing the reality with no bias either way. Music matched the tragic melancholy of the scene. Reminded me of Townes Van Zandt’s “Flyin’ Shoes” especially Lyle Lovett’s cover - sad scene for sure
Made me feel hope for California. Finally trying to clean up their mess.
Hopefully they do this in Hollywood next. We can’t just have camps everywhere. They offer all these people places to live downtown they just don’t want to stop using and dealing drugs
@@snappyAF That’s highly debatable. More then likely most of them were homeless before the pandemic.
I’d like to see them say, you know what, I’m going to get up early, look for employment and pave a better life for myself. Stop with the, they’re just victims of circumstance. The majority of them are victims of their own poor choices.
Ya all homeless are drug dealers and addicts.
@@dr1flush they are
Beach in motion: keep that tractor moving every day cleaning the sand. Dont give them even five minutes to settle on the beach. They have free assistance they just don't want it so they can do drugs. Off the beach ! No camping!
@Blue Savage FOR YOU!!!
I live in Florida and there's absolutely no overnight staying at any beach as far as I know. Definitely no tents and camping.
@@s0uthp4w68 same here in south Texas.
@Blue Savage what they don’t have those anymore?? Bummer

I grew up on the beaches of California in the 80’s and live in Arizona since 95. It saddens me to see what has become of my old home. What really scares me is that after they clean up tents on the sands, that how many syringes that will be left behind in the sand. Very scary and will not be visiting that area for quite awhile. Great job with the videos German.
They have sand sifting grates that drag behind those sand trucks there. How often they do it, don’t know.
Easy solution: stop voting Democrat.
No worries they have a sand Sifter that works will.
Southern Cal and the beaches were a great place to be in the 1980s, it’s really sad what’s happened to Cali. You’re right about the needles, not just that but the rats and broken glass. The broken glass and garbage issue is bad seemingly at every beach across the country I’ve been to. It’s obvious too many people today just don’t care, they should do what Canada does and take it serious (fine people and teach people to be more respectful).
@@Argyle302 When did the Republicans help out in California? I'll wait. Mind you, I'm neither a Dem nor Rep..

🙄 _Alot_ is a town in India. _A lot_ is more than one of something.
To everyone that wants to hear a story of someone who USED to be homeless and actually used the available resources to find a stable housing situation, I'm willing to answer questions. And this was back in 2018. I can't imagine the resources have dwindled since then. Moving to California literally saved my life. So to everyone that thinks their tax dollars aren't helping anyone, that isn't true. You helped me. So thank you.
Well done for getting back on your feet Timothy. Peace always wherever you may go. 💖🙏☺️💐
Yay Good on you 😎
I hope you stay clean. Good for you.
Your quality has of life has improved. You’re welcome. But ours has dwindled to a point where I’d love to see you and people alike taxed at a higher rate.
Are you planning on moving back to your state?
What types of services and resources did you use that you felt were the most helpful and what would you change about the entire system if you had a magic wand?
So encouraging reading your testimony.

I’ve been homeless twice in my life, I’ve never been that trashy! And respected everywhere I was. Those people give homeless a bad name!
They already had one bud. There are some acceptions. I watched a vid about a man who built a neat little hovel in Canada! U know how cold that place is? Toronto! They made him leave and his was out in the woods. He had it all cozy and a battery and clever as hek. Then he put it on the web. Bad move.

I can see a tent and sleeping bags but all that stuff! There is no justification for that.
They dint even clean after themselves; what does that have to do with being poor. That is
just laziness!
Its called addiction and mental illness. Half will not want to live a clean sober life 😭
you have only mattress and linen in your home?
poverty doesn't cause people to be that way , it's the mental illness from drug use
A lot of irresponsibility that lead them down this path.

And he's one of the two that voted against the new law, so he gets zero credit.
He is truly a giant douchebag. You wonder how he can sleep at night or look in the mirror.

Who wouldn’t love to live in a tent on Venice Beach? Unfortunately it makes the Venice look like a camp ground. They had their free ride during COVID, It’s time to move on.
All the camp ground I go to Refugio, Carpentaria, El Capitan to name a few beach campgrounds are CLEAN these drug addicts are making Venice beach worse than the slums of Manila Philippines.
It doesn’t look like any campground that I have camped in, more like a city dump.

It’s crazy how so much trash and waste was allowed to get so close to the ocean.
Amazing that even when told they must leave, the homeless refuse to budge until some sanitation worker starts having to take apart their trash piles. Each individual tent takes quite a while to dismantle, and where's the owner?
I wonder that as well. They just leave all their crap and start over somewhere else.
They have to be real slobs to accumulate all that stuff and just leave it there.
Hiding in the shadows, perhaps? Bet they didn't leave a single thing of actual monetary value. Did you see that n'est of teensy mice? My red tailed hawks might be interested.... SMH

@@gregpeterman1102 it comes with addiction and mental illness. They just can not part with anything.
Thank god they’re removing all the filth. These spaces are for the whole community
@A 1 The homeless are the laziest and most entitled group of humans that exist. They sit around all day doing drugs and harassing people and complaining that the government isn’t providing them with enough free stuff. When in reality they don’t actually want anything from the government, they just want to continue their worthless lifestyle without any responsibility. They destroy and take from the people that contribute to society without contributing a thing themselves. If they actually tried to do good in the world they would be less hated but they don’t.
@A 1 But they definitely can't just stay on the beach. They are a hazard to other people. What needs to happen is those who have mental issues need to be given proper assistance and maybe open a mental facility. And those down on luck provided with housing so they can try again. I just think they definitely can't stay on the beach.
@A 1 homeless are not a part of anything. Id have more sympathy if they didn't pile junk up, Kept a clean tent, washed themselves, and washed there cloths. Those aren't hard to do. There are trash cans for a reason. You "live" next to an ocean, take a dip once in awhile. It won't feel good but wash your cloths in that ocean. Simple things that every civilized person does.
It's nice that the beach is finally getting cleaned but my concern is that for those that do not opt in for housing assistance, this may only be pushing them into other areas throughout the city.
California needs to enforce trespassing and squatting laws. Trespass and squat, go to jail.

people have to take responsibility for their own lives and squatting on a beach isn't that.
Why not?
@@BarronVonSchnoot Because the beach is a recreation area for the productive citizens who pay taxes to enjoy. Helps relieve stress before they go back to work to be more productive. Civilization 101, check it out! Might also wanna check out Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
@Kunta Kinte No they put themselves there and misguided folks who think it Ok are their enablers
@@BarronVonSchnoot let's see would you think this people are being responsible if they started camping in your back yard, or in front of your house rent free?
Would you be ok, having people throwing trash, and hypodermic needles all over your property?
Would you be ok, if every ones in a while you had a fire do to arsonist, or someone falling to sleep with a cigarette in their hand?
Would you be ok, if your property started smelling like urine, and human waste, because some of the homeless didn't wanted to make the trip to the public restrooms?
Manh reasons why squatting isn't really taking responsibility!
Sure it's easy for them, but it sure ain't easy on the actual residents, or business owners.
Its strange that they dont squat in the woods where they wont be bothered
Thank you to all the clean up crews for their service, restoring our community.

It's pretty obvious that our homeless will have to migrate to warmer climates though to survive. If you broke, live shitty, welcome to life.
Great coverage. I could watch them clean-up the beach on video for hours. I’ll be back for next video. I’m anticipating the 230am last call.
Hopefully the Mayor and City will stay on top of it and not let it spiral out of control again. Venice is a beautiful beach. It needs to be appreciated and preserved for future generations.
It seems so hypocritical to be so concerned for the earth and preserving nature, yet allow things to get like this😭. Things do not add up...politics😝

Farm animals. R. Cleaner 😬
Ahhhhhh. Why did you have to go there?
@@dertythegrower Nasty and lazy. Don’t wanna walk to the ocean SMDH,
I would love to see those who have used the beach as their camp demonstrate respect by keeping their space clean and garbage free. The prevalent behavior shows people treating the space as a garbage dump and passing the cost of cleanup to the general public (i.e. those paying taxes). No one appreciates people taking something they do not own and defiling it as if they own it. It is time for many of these homeless advocates to demonstrate charity by example or step aside.
Well said! we have the same issues in the bay area. The cleanups are super expensive and they move back in 6 months later.
Everyone must be accountable to keep our communities clean and safe. That includes those who are homeless.
you do not become homeless because you have perfect mental health. those judging should be on their knees thanking the good Lord they are not in that situation. sorry their tents look awful to you.
@@dawnmatthews2354 Watching the month-long cleanup effort on Venice Beach and interviews of the homeless have changed my understanding of the situation. Many who were offered assistance were very transparent and sober on why they have rejected assistance.
1) I want to be free to roam and not be tied down
2) There are conditions on receiving assistance - no thanks
3) Who would not want to live here (weather, beach, proximity)
If you are abusing substances, the last thing you want are conditions to receiving expensive treatment. Some things as simply clear as a bell.
I see so many homeless people here in Denver CO now. I treat them with common decency and respect. If they smile at me I smile back. They compliment my tattoos and I say Thank you! We can't give up on our fellow Humans.
Doesn't matter whether or not you give up on someone who has already given up themselves. Treating people with respect is a basic human skill, but it goes out the window when they're doing meth on your stoop and screaming at phantasms at 7AM.
No self-respecting human being, who has never filled an innocent beach full of used needles, should feel compared to these troglodytes.
You treat them like they are a fellow human, how nice. Kiddin Jay your comment was the first one that hit me as human. These people had to go, but so has the empathy. To throw away the last things a homeless person has is quite sad.

It’s shocking that this is even happening. Venice was my least favorite beach because of the amount of filth, homeless and crackheads. It was scary at times cuz some of these people were unhinged. Hopefully it is continuously cleaned. To those asking “what about the homeless have a heart!” Please leave your addresses below so we can send em to stay with you 😉
Your wise
I agree. Everyone is about how could they but noone wants to house them themselves 😄 many homeless people are dirty nasty people, rarely ones who actually good decent human beings. Most of them drug addicts who'd stab your throat for some cash money
Marius... Your correct... Lifetime drug use creates mini holes on the brain like Swiss cheese and antisocial pyschotic random behaivior!!
GIV!!! Thankyou for being you. Have a great day!
Why was that ever ok to set up camping with TRASH, shame on the city of LA
Kick those politicians out of office.
Its utopia doncha know🤔
Stay off Alcohol and drugs.
Thank You for reporting on what's going on with the homeless problem around town. It is appreciated very much!
Looks like Beautiful Venice beach will get its beautiful back. Great coverage, keep it up.
I just love watching you, you always have Great Shows. Thank You !
Now I will go take a walk there. It's been 2 years, was waiting until they moved outta there. I would rather see a clean beach! I grew up in Southern Cali, and this was my go to Beach for a long time! Thanks for the update, German.
Wear your muck boots!!
Do not go on the sand with bare feet or sandals. My daughter got a staph infection as a child from beach sand.
Mahalo Mayor Garcetti for taking back Venice Beach🤙🏻🌺🙏🇺🇸
Thanks for keeping us informed.
Simply adding up the cost for all the equipment that the State, County, and City has purchased. All the employees, and the paychecks that entails, and the fact that dealing with the homeless has become an enterprise/industry. This is never going to change.
THEY COULD HAVE PAID THEM TO CLEAN IT UP, USED THEIR WAGES TO RENT A PLACE...OR THEY COULD HAVE MADE PRISONERS CLEAN IT UP & USED THE $$$ TO HOUSE THE HOMELESS...STUPID!!!
@@reverendmother3641 pay somebody to clean up the mess they created..yeah that's the answer.
@@dc76384 YES, PAY THEM INSTEAD OF A CITY WORKER WHO GETS $25/HR...HOMELESS WILL WORK FOR FOOD & A FUKN TENT! YOU WAIT, ONE DAY HOMELESS WILL GET YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER, NO MORE RENT EXTENSIONS...YOU WILL SEE & MAYBE THEN YOU WILL FIND YOUR HEART...OR GET ONE!!! YOUR POOR FAMILY, SELFISH & JUDGMENTAL!
@@reverendmother3641 i say we compost the homeless. useless mouths to feed.
Strict enforcement is whats needed rules need to be followed and enforced no exceptions or this will all happen again
I hope the city/county will enforce the mandate. This was a disgraceful situation which drove many businesses and residents away and kept many tourists from coming to VB.
Yes 🙏
I visited 2 times in my life about 8 years ago never went back
I've visited twice, once in March and again just a couple weeks ago, the difference in just 5 months was remarkable and noticeable. VB was clean and fun again.
If you are homeless in LA either get your shit together, move to somewhere affordable like the Midwest, or relocate to Skid Row.
@@colirino It wasn't clean a couple of weeks ago based on this video I just watched here. Look at all the tents and trash that had go moved in this video.
@@lookingforwyatteearp3137 Admittedly I probably didn't walk everywhere, but on Saturday July 17th, in the area by Muscle Beach and the basketball courts I didn't see any encampments
a Great day for business owners, home owners, and tourists too.
Even if you hate the Mayor of LA he should get credit for passing this city ordinance. I wish Gavin had the guts to do statewide what Garcetti did for LA. Kudos to you, Mayor.
That first tent was nasty, living with all that garbage and mice when there was garbage cans just a few feet away.
All the vermin will be infesting the nearby homes and businesses.
Will they enforce it is the real question..
Last time I was in Venice was 2018 before my cancer treatment I wanted to go back but the homeless problem was overwhelming and I didn't want that to be the theme of my trip. I like Muscle Beach not Homeless beach. My heart goes out to all the homeless. I hope they got the support and that their lives get better.
Thankful for these workers, the new law, and GIV!
Thanks Mike for taking us on this loooooong arduous journey.
It’s been so educational. I love to keep up with what’s going on out there and you are the most sincere and ethical source to get info from. Much respect ❤️
Always love the background music. Would love to get a sample of it. Love you GIV! Almost up to 200k subscribers! Keep up the work of a genius.
This video moved me to tears. God help us all.
I'd avoid eating at any of the restaurant's on the boardwalk due to vermin infestation
First let me say I hope that one day you will be able to interview Arnold. Your impersonation of him is fantastic. Also the part where you said that one guy has to leave by 2 a.m. then you show a quick clip of being there at 2 a.m. is hilarious. I can hardly wait to see your next video. Have a wonderful and safe day. Peace
It's more disgusting what the city does with the tax dollars that they get to fix the problem in the first place
Rightfully said!
it was a pleasure to meet you over the weekend in Venice!
Good reporting GIV.! Due to the rent/mortgage moratorium ending this best way to tell people stop camping out on the beach.
They want everyone to care about them and their plight but they don’t care at all about the people who own property or just enjoy the beach. Certainly they don’t care about the parents who don’t feel safe about bringing their children.
HYPOCRITES. no long DEMOcRATS.but hypocrite s. The mayor should take the homeless in see how they like it
The homeless are often clean and well organized. I've never seen a group of people that have their shit together quite like them.
@@justinwebber9968 You’ve got to be kidding right?
That was one great Arnold S impression.
Thank you so much German Venice for sharing this awesome video and I hope the homeless people get places to live in and be safe you have a great day thank you so much for sharing this sincerely Suszie💜💜💕💕💕🌞🌺🌴🌴🌴🌴
I would still be concerned about going on the beach. So many contaminations and needles left behind make it very dangerous.
It’s really sad what they have done to this beach. Look at the biohazard and needles the clean up I can only imagine what was going on the water. They have to stop this from happening. The beaches need to be protected.
Needles in the sand like landmines in a warzone
I thought it was only in The Way of the Road (Trailer Park Boys), but there they are at 11:40….High Definition Pess Jugs.
look at what the leaders of calf have done to these people you dont say anything about that..
@@georgestokes5116 I don’t even want to get started about the so called leaders of California. I used to live in San Diego and I thought it was the most beautiful place ever and now, I would never move back there. Ever!
I’m on east coast and I tell you that shit would never happen out here on any beach. They’re much more strict when it comes to the police Anyone who didn’t move asap would be locked up w/out warning
For sure it's totally different out here
Yep, I live on Virginia Beach. No way, no how is this allowed.
Yep, beaches in New York are the same way! A few tried it, gone before noon.
Yes agree...I am from the east coast...have never seen this...
This summer I visited Ocean City Maryland and Rehoboth Beach Delaware. Not a single tent. Not just on the beach or boardwalks, but not anywhere in the residential areas nearby.
A dozen years ago I was working for a company doing a contract for Cal-Trans - we were all over the state. Even then, there were homeless places similar to this - the difference is that Venice Beach is so "in your face" that it just blows the minds of most people. Back then, they enforced it somewhat more, but even then they were there.
This is just another symptom, folks. We gotta be doing a better job of helping the mentally ill than we do now. If that means institutionalizing some of them, that may not be the bad thing it was made out to be years ago... these people would be looked after and helped through their issues, at least... not saying we did it right before community treatment became a thing, but I think we went too far the other way in expecting the severely mentally ill to take care of themselves.
No matter what, just remember these are fellow humans, and treat them with dignity.
Thanks Mike. Love your Vlogs. I am just speechless. Stay safe.
Thank you so much for documenting this American tragedy of the great homeless pandemic that will be studied for hundreds of years ;) You are loved my friend:)
Epidemic - its only in California USA
@@bimbom8630 Only in blue/Democrat-run cities.
Only going to get worse.... this economy is going down the toilet.... cost of rent and housing is so damn expensive
Between the homeless explosion and Donald Trump, well into our future historians will be studying the past five years.
Arnold schwarzenegger got nominated and voted in only because of his hollywood status. Anyone that votes somebody in because of their color or because they are from Hollywood deserves what they get? He put california more in debt than anybody has
I lived in Downey when I was a kid and that was the best time of my life. I am 70 now and this makes me sad.
Hi! I grew up in Downey! Riding down the Rio San Gabriel river was the best. Now I live in Redondo beach:) Bicycling to Venice is Not something I do anymore.
Also side note: I appreciate how Downey refuses to lose itself... I’m really proud of being from there as I get older.
Many of us feel that.
I LOVE your Arnold impression! Es ist wunderbar!
Glad to see this finally happening, I love Venice Beach. I have a ?, why does everyone have to leave their trash all over? I've seen EVERYONE leaving trash everywhere when there is a BIN less that 2" from them!! I feel for the homeless, but is it necessary to trash an area, just because you can? Great job to all those who had to clean up this mess!!
you dont feel that bad for the homeless
