City of Los Angeles Conducts Collaborative Cleanup Operation at Homeless Encampments in Venice
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2023
- On Thursday, July 6, 2023, the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, in partnership with Action Cleanup Environmental Services, carried out a thorough cleanup operation targeting a homeless encampment located on Grand Canal, Canal St., and Mildred Ave. in Venice. The primary objective of this initiative was to address notable health and safety concerns affecting both the unhoused individuals and the general public. During the operation, sanitation workers, wearing white hazardous materials suits, strictly adhered to safety protocols.
LAHSA (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority) played a crucial role in providing homeless outreach services during the cleanup, offering assistance and support to those affected.
The cleanup operation involved the coordinated efforts of two waste management teams. Initially, Action Cleanup Environmental Services sorted through the garbage to identify and collect hazardous waste items, including batteries, urine, and syringes. Subsequently, Los Angeles Public Works sanitation workers took charge of collecting the remaining garbage.
To ensure the safety of all involved individuals and secure compliance from the unhoused population, Los Angeles Police Officers maintained a constant presence throughout the entire cleanup operation, which aimed to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the area.
While the cleanup of homeless encampments in Venice has positive effects on public health and safety, it is important to recognize that it does not offer a long-term solution to the broader issue of homelessness. The City of Los Angeles is actively working on implementing comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of homelessness and provide essential resources and support to those in need.
The City of Los Angeles remains committed to tackling homelessness in the area and will continue its endeavors to find sustainable, long-term solutions.
Overall, the recent cleanup operation in Venice signifies a significant step forward in enhancing public health, safety, and the provision of necessary resources to unhoused individuals. The City of Los Angeles remains dedicated to its ongoing work in addressing homelessness and striving for lasting solutions.

There are people 80 and older (me included) working to make ends meet, in today’s economy... these people need to get a job, they are healthier than many of us! Irv.
God Blesses you everyday, you are doing your best. My Dad is 93, he would work if he could too! He still lives in his own house, rides a bicycle everywhere, he can. We try to do our best to take care of him. He says he fine on his own. We only get so far, first I walk in with a plate of baked goods, to keep him busy while we do whatever else we can until we get yelled at & taken out for lunch. ❤😊
In my country you need a fixed address to get a job and a bank acount with money in it for tax purposes
Lots of jobs in America....only need social security number.
Also, what they don’t understand (because they don’t work) is that work no matter the job or $ gives a sense of accomplishment, purpose and confidence. But preaching to the choir here
And you probably either own your own home or have lived in a rent controlled apartment for so many years that your rent doesn't even come close to what the current market rates are. I don't blame these people at all for not having jobs because even with minimum wages of 20 dollars an hour you're still making half of what you actually need to put a roof over your head. And with wages being so out of whack in comparison to how much rents have gone up over the past 25 years there's really no incentive for anybody to work unless they're making over 100,000 a year. That's what L.A. has become, a city for people who make over 100 grand a year. Everybody else is either already homeless or living so far above their means that they might as well be homeless.
Good to see the problem is being addressed.
This should have never been allowed to escalade to this level.
Addressed? It's the same ones on this camper....they move to the next street then come back by dark...it is like digging a hole , filling it up, dig it again. Fill it up.
Semi-addressed. Better than a year ago but now that there are available shelters and LA minimum wage is like 20 bucks an hour, we need to start imposing/enforcing a non-camping ordinance.
Unfortunately, it is addressed every week. They come out, wait for PD to leave and move right back in.
It's like a game of Whack-a-Mole. Ultimately, a society operates on the honor system. That's where the behavior of each person depends on him or her, not the government---unless that government has a million employees (such as cops) overseeing each square inch of a neighborhood. But a "c'est la vie" (or libertarian) attitude does make an already bad situation even worse
How many Homeless Do invite in to live with You!
OH, I see You'd rather Help the ILLEGALS?
I was homeless once Lost my home, had to Sell & with two little kids WITH NO GOVERNMENT assistance I turned to my Family... My Saving Grace. 3 Months I was back on my feet.
Great start can we move on to the next order and remove all RV's that have no tags no insurance and completely broken down 👏
Good luck paying for them 4 Million illegals benefits.. As that will add $120 Billion to the States taxpayers to cover..Never mind they will have the right to Vote in State Elections. And you know what they will vote for. More Benefits from your wallet..hahaha. suckers...
That’s right: if you broke down on the highway and didn’t haul your car, then it would get impounded/crushed.
They should tow that camper!
Is that camper properly registered and insured? Seems to mean something when I get stopped.
Anybody that could tow that camper doesn't want to touch it. They have to go through so many regulations in Ca.
a rich country with so many homeless people , what's happening america ?!...😢😮😢😮
@@lambertosaga1241drugs and laziness for the most part.
@@lambertosaga1241 We are not rich. We are in debt up to our eyeballs thanks to politicians who spend money we don’t have.
The guy in the orange hat at the beginnng is the same guy that used to sleep in the restrooms on the beach
The problem isn't addressed, this is called job security.
👍🏼
Bullsh*t! This is called CalifirnUtopians getting exactly what commentators like you asked for…
Domesticated homeless. teach them survival skills live off the land.Can't make someone survive and work with the collective.Freewill is the being addressed everyday by everyone.Goodluck staying back in the old world!!
They have to do it evey day or they will just come back
Pointless
They seem to be moving alright, right around the corner!
Ok I'm gonna rant hard. O.m.g. skateboard man is part of this whole problem!!! Every.single.time!!! There he is with his crap!!! AND GET THAT BEAT UP DANG R.V. OUT OF THERE MY GAWD CITY!!!! W.T.F
They just move it to another place. They should make them move the camper or fine them. This crap would not be tolerated where I live.
Same ones over n over.Good way to give people jobs though....homeless n hoarding all that stuff.....but no money n no job
I have to move our car twice a week for street cleaning or I'll be fined, as should these RVs!!!!
This is the most encouraging activity seen in California in some time. Hopefully this will spread throughout the state. Bring back the beauty we once knew. Elect responsible officials who enforce laws and respect law abiding citizens. Without enforcement our cities will become slum centers.
Those cops aren't doing a fucking thing but standing around drawn their money
They will be back before nightfall and it all starts over again
Not fixing anything, you keep voting for idiots that cant fix anything except their pensions, and bank accounts and their high tax rates, high cost of living for the WE THE PEOPLE, The democrats has screwed yous state and thats why many are leaving., The could help the homeless but they dont care., Please keep your policies their and dont move here.
Stop voting for Democrats. Democrats cause this problem.
Out Of Sight Out Of Mind>> RIGHT??? > Most are WORKING, SICK WITH CANCERS, DISABLED, VETERANS, ELDERLY, TEENS>>> Not Addicted To ANYTHING~ But were SMALL BUSINESS MIDDLECLASS JUST 6 YEARS AGO!!! YOU can be one too!!!
A LOT of money, time and trouble could have been saved if they never allowed this TO BEGIN WITH
You stated what I have been thinking for a long time. Other cities including Detroit is not allowing this.
Are you enjoying living in LA LA land you should just for giggle s spend one month on the streets and then let's read your comment.
@@user-xq4yz1mp1t "don't feed the bears" applies
@@user-xq4yz1mp1t I also think the first step is drug treatment. Then housing, in a drug free housing, and basic public works option if no work is available in private sector. They have to work in order to eat.
I bet the residents around there are so happy.
People who are working are paying soooo much taxes in California, of course they deserve to walk on streets safe and they deserve clean streets . This homeless people do not want to stay in shelters and they hate rules. Arrest them if they don’t stay in shelters because they’re shameless and dangerous
The city of Coronado, California run by a Republican mayor does that. They have zero people living on the street. California became like this because of Democratic run cities and Gavin Newson, a Democrat.
Nice broad paint brush you have there.
It is common sense, taking private property is illegal (shopping carts), arrest them and put them to work cleaning the place up. You are not going to eliminate homelessness but you could reduce it by 50%. Push out the ones who are just lazy or want to sit around and do drugs. But the problem is too many people are resentful of those that are successful so they use the homeless as a foil to be permissive to, and then rub in the face of those that have worked hard and have success. The homeless, whenever they need anything just walk into a store and take it because they know that the police have been given a stand down order by the elected officials. What a great society we have...
Whats you're solution?
@@richardmorris7063 Good question, a lot of people complain few give any solutions. Manage the situation: minimize how much they can have if they are on the street, if you have more take it away and make them work for a couple of days cleaning up garbage on the beach. Roust people out of their tents on the beach at 2 am. Give them a ticket if they have stolen shopping carts, the cost being manual labor. Make the shopping centers chain the shopping carts together and release with a coin deposit like they do in europe. Have a holding center to warehouse people for 5 days if they break the rules. If they are on the street no dogs take them and dispose of them. Have doctor and nurse crews doing rounds. Give people the mental medication they need. Don't allow back talk, people have to many righteous rights here so they are too comfortable, zero tolerance. If you steal anything 5 day work crew. This would reduce it by 50% which would be a lot more tolerable and fair.
Tell me why we have to separate our trash into 3 bins when they all go to the same place. Blue, recycle Black, Trash and Green, garden. They throw them all together in one trash truck.
No they don't. They have separate trucks for each.
Theres a documentary on this about how all the recycling goes to the same place because there's not enough processing capacity at the recycle facilities.
Let's be clear about one thing: We all see this as "a waste of time and money, and not solving the problem". What we must acknowledge however, is that until there is a MAGIC FIX, doing nothing, will certainly lead to what has happened in "Kensington Philadelphia"
“Prisons are magic”, put them in, “and they disappear”.
the magic fix would be all theses people getting jobs and living like normal people.
@@MrSteelehead You want to pay $200,000 a year to keep each homeless person in jail? Housing an inmate costs money and a lot of it. The US already has the highest incarcerated population per capita in the world. We have reached the saturation point in California with early release for minor offences.
I worked for managers that believed in magic monkeys to replace workers. Magic monkeys don't need to be paid. They are magic.
I've seen that on youtube that place is scary.
I'd just level it all and start all over. Plus that includes everyone that's the problem.
This is a good example why even relatives have given up on them and don’t want them around
The Billion Dollar Homeless Industrial Complex
That one guy on the skateboard is in almost every video moving all his useless junk from place to place. Acting all pissed off because he has to move. And those people in that trashed camper looking all pissed off. If I lived on that street I would be mad that they trashed the neighborhood!
I wanted to say that about skateboard bro too. He said, "you're not even supposed to be here" to the cleanup people. Really??? Really???
I noticed the skateboard dude had several bikes and a sweet drone.
This is GREAT!!! Thanks Fabian for all the coverage. Message: Don't dump on Venice.
These are not old decrepit disabled people. Time to man up, go to a shelter (which are available) and start working even if it’s minimum wage which in LA is almost 20 bucks an hour now. There are no more excuses.
@@craigrenner3380let them be dude just stay positive man people like us exist , but these homeles people need help not just kicking them out I agree
Minimum wages $20 a one-bedroom apartment in the city of Los Angeles menu I said apartment one-bedroom runs anywhere between 1,500 and $2,000
And that's an average neighborhood
@@craigrenner3380 your making excuses. majority of these people dont want responsibilities. Yes, many of them would rather have a place to call home but they want someone else to pay for it
@@kevincano9164 they are beyond help. They don't want responsibilities.
@@kevincano9164 what kind of help do you think they need name it you say they need help well then what kind of help you can't just say they need some kinda help like a magic trick look to begin with they have to want help of which all they want is what you see right there they want to live by their rules and screw everyone else thats it so whats the help you got in mind there bright one
Yeah, first!!!!! lets do housekeeping
Nicely done sanitation worker's! Respect
0:40: If that homeless guy spent that energy on holding a job, he maybe wouldn't be homeless!
Repatriate them to their place of birth whatever state that may be, if they are not native Californians goodbye, if you cant support yourself move on.
I noticed that too.
He might be, if his living wage covers the cost of his living expenses. He may have lost his home because he couldn’t afford it.
You’re not addressing the problem of poverty and homelessness, you’re just pushing it along to another community.
And the homeless are not helping themselves. Majority (maybe not all) are drug users and alcoholics. I have personally seen them shoot up and discard their needles on the ground with no caps on them. That is a health risk. I refuse to go to my local 7 11 anymore because they piss and s*** right on the ground and the stench makes you want to throw up. There needs to be stricter laws with the homeless.
Do u want the government showing these people how to be responsible adults? Isn’t that sht already done from 1-12 grade plus by their parents? Like “oh hey stop being a meth addict or you will be homeless”. 90% of these people are addicts
@@oldenoughtoknowbetter6473 no! Imma gonna sin sin sin all day long!
They are literally sweeping the problem under the rug. But to be honest it was only a matter of time before the city's property owners forced the city to try to do something, anything. Because in many of these cities the homeless are turning $1 million properties into unsalable properties.
@@oldenoughtoknowbetter6473 Let me be clear. I am a Christian and respect you and admire your passion. However, I hope you realize you are preaching to the choir. The homeless aren't listening.
Nice to see this place get cleaned up, but the sad truth is they will just move somewhere else. We need real solutions like getting the illegal drugs off our streets, providing real rehab services for these people and bringing back affordable housing.
The real solution is not to attract zombies to your city/state with handouts. They get more cash in handouts than I pay in rent, and I get $16 in SNAP(food stamps). They get $200: if they’re hungry, what are they doing with their EBT card?
Many of these people have skills: make them contribute towards their own tiny home and maybe they won’t trash it. Or is that against their “bodily autonomy “? wtf…
Remove their trash perhaps ! Set them up in parks camping grounds offer rehab for those that will accept ! Show them they are loved but don't keep tearing down the neighbor hoods because they are poor !
Why are they disposing those shopping carts? Why not call the store they were stolen from so they can come get them?
I agree, those carts are not cheap. Some stores now have carts if taken off of their lot will cause the wheels to lock up.
They are too FILTHY...I don't want to put my clothes in one or my food....
Would cost more money between transportation, locating the shopping store, and then cleaning and repair of the cards before they could be put in use
Workers could move a little faster. I never saw so many clean up so little.
lol Sanitary engineers 4 to watch, one to dump, one to rake, one to drive, one to take pictures for the lawyers!. 6 cops? One the working undercover for sure.. :) Fire any with their hands in their pockets - what do they think they are , Politicians?
Slower than molasses in winter time 🤣
THANKS, THANKS THANKS.
This is quite sad indeed. It’s a shame that something like this has to happen within the richest nation in the world.😢
Its not sad it’s pathetic
The richest nation, people keep saying that, but really? the 1% hold much of th eprosperity of your country, and the average Joes are just as poor as people from third-world country, but at least they got a simple home, these people do not have the simplest human right to live. The economic system, the liberal capitalism, has failed, and people still refuse to accept that or do not know out of ignorance.
This happens when you have politicians "care" more about other countries' affairs than their own citizens'
Don't be sad, you have the best government to print more money to those in need!
This is not a local problem. This is not a national problem. Homelessness occurs where opportunity dries up and it is occurring in every country that embraced the neo-liberal policy of the 1980's. 43 years and we are watching the end game right here. Reaganomics has become a world problem.
These people don't have pride in themselves and they use any explanation to make their situation seem like they have a reason for what they are doing.
bingo! sitting around smoking all day feeling sorry for themselves or blaming corporations or rich people aint helping. get out and do what those business owners and rich people did. get a push mower, weed eater, broom and squeegee and go knock on doors $60 a house. 6 a day gives you $350 after gas. work 6 days a week and make $2k a week. after a summer you can buy a rider and trailer and small used truck and start charging more doing nicer houses. get $100 a house then. people here paying $60 a house just for window washing a 1 story 1500ft house and $60 a mow. They could in years time get $100 a house for both and hire couple their buddies to work for them. but thats too much effort. they want someone else to struggle for them and work for free.
Get to work lazy workers
Portland Oregon, Salem Oregon will follow ! Great job Police department 💪💪!
Thank you la city works and police for your hard work.
Judging by the size of them they been working hard at the donut shop..
I have a job and rent a house and these folks have more furniture and crap lying around than I do in a whole house.
Our government has allowed this situation 😖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They closed so so many military bases why not use all that abundant empty land and empty housing and buildings for the homeless
Help the mentally handicapped
And the physical handicapped
Bring in welfare
Bring in a treatment center
Bring in a hospital
And a jail...for those who choose
To be unstable and choose drugs
No more excuses enough is enough
Our government has got to help
Those who are elderly to stay in there homes...
Help those who need help financially
Stay in there home's....
WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN 🇺🇸👍💞
God's blessings for the homeless people 😇🙏😇
Please help them God through your almighty Power Amen 🙏
Great Coverage ! Thanks for sharing transparency.
Where will these people go? Will anything be resolved?
The homeless all need to dump their stuff in the garbage trucks and be given plane tickets to NYC. Adams has plenty of space for illegal immigrants. US citizens must come first. No street camping, tents - time is up Democrats. They had millions to fund the solution.
@@gregdrivesdriver5104 Yes, we have a real problem.
Most homeless don't want help with shelters, they refuse to follow rules, drug addiction causes this, there are no conservatership laws that place mentally unstable individuals bc liberals don't want change
How about: quit feeding a begging dog… I was homeless, I didnt live like this.
Thanks
What a difficult task. Wonderful public servants. We need ideas. Thank u for sharing!
They are not volunteers but all being paid.
What ideas do you need? Enforce laws. Not rocket science.
Law enforcement, limited to cleanup patrol. It's pretty evident they're not allowed to do much else.
Always the same people, they were also living in the restroom and on the boardwalk, its easier to get rid of these same people
Nice to see something being done.
Can't wait when something has to be done with you!!!!!
Wow that is different great to see them clean up ,Thank you la city works and police for your hard work 👮♀️👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👋
Never ending clean up 😞 sad😔 😢
Landlords dump items from evictions on the burb, these homeless find it, fine the landlords.
Building is hard. Tearing down is easy. Cleaning up takes a lot of work. Filling up the streets with garbage and human feces takes no time at all. I am writing 10 days after this video was taken. I would love to see that the streets look like now. I will bet that by now it looks exactly the way it did before the cleanup, except, with fresher human feces of course.
😂 fresher 💩
Well done be safe bless u all. Seeya
It is interesting to see them get their act together and become motivated when the cops and trash trucks come rolling down the street.
if they worked like that all the time they wouldnt be homeless
They do this everyday in Santa Ana and it's still not enough!
Are they gonna move up the street. Wow right in the neighborhood.
Muy bueno me gusta mucho lo recomiendo excelente
God bless the workers.
Amazing what they think is worthy of hauling from place to place. If they had a place, they would be hoarders.
At least they wouldn't be Nazis...like you, clearly, are...
Los Angeles, Sanctuary City, everybody go there, you are all welcome. Diversity is our greatest strength. Free stuff everywhere. No need to even work, they will take care of you. C'mon down !!!
Where are they moving to, a few blocks away? There was a relatively small tent encampment in a flat grass field off one of the freeways here in Dallas in between to commercial business. I saw about 20 tents as I drove by. Week or so later when I went by they were all gone and the grass field had been flooded at least a foot deep from what I could tell. It worked. I guess the businesses took it into their own hands.
They will just go back to the same place again & say a big thankyou to the city for cleaning all that shit up ! 😮 😠 😡
It’s about time California 😊
cops in this video are all in great shape! congrats men
I don't like seeing people upset but maybe with them being less comfortable trashing up our streets, they will get the point this isn't ok to do here. Do this more frequently.
They shouldn’t notify them and just throw that shit away because all that’s happening is they are moving the stuff somewhere else! They are not getting anywhere with this!
These homeless people knows how to beat the system the city cleans up and the homeless comes right back😮
I believe the owners of those shopping carts would like to have them back
They can clean up as much as they want to because in another month is the same thing. My heart goes out for these homeless people which they losing what ever they have. The problem is if they need some necessities, what happens next. More Crimes. They are spending most of the fundings from Fed on temporary and useless solutions. If not all, half of these people need housing which the only thing city of LA is doing is just talk. This is truly a state of an emergency, we need actions, Not Talk.
Yes, you are right. We need a permanent solution. They should build a number of Shelter Homes Communities and allow these people to live there under some supervision and find jobs to get their lives together. A place to stay is the most important thing. It will help at least 50% of the problems of these homeless people. Then the support, guidance, and encouragement from the Government, Corporate Sector, Private Citizens, and Volunteers will help them even more.
The government needs to open some of the closed military bases, and at least provide some shelter
for once Walmart do some good to society by donating few thousands of carts for a thorough cleanup.
Look up the strength of that guy, my goodness!! he can go and harvest vegetables in Florida 24/7, for heaven sake!!
Does anyone know where they all get the really nice shoes? Someone must be donating them, but just wondering because everyone has on $100 pair of shoes.
They take them from the store, police have been told not to arrest.
Shuffling the outdoor mental ward around again!
because they allowed outdoor to become indoor.
Mental ward? Wow! I hope you have to experience homelessness at some point in your life.
Everyone of homeless people have a story and they're not all 'mental'
I pray God helps your hard heart 🙏

Why don't the police confiscate the stolen shopping carts that these people use for moving their junk? Shopping carts cost anywhere from $197.00 to $365.00.
its about freakin time ! politicians need to grow some balls and take care of business!
Unfortunately in the state of California the politicians are democrats so they only take care of them selfs.
I am in agreement although that is a bit metaphorical. The issue is the elected officials that are voted in and given authority by the people, so in reality the people are responsible. As William Shaw said people get the politicians they deserve. If the people don't like what the politicians are doing they can always vote them out and get someone that will better suit their needs.
No we need to get rid of the politicians that have allowed this situation to be created
Its hard to make a comment when your not in that situation. But if the city officials dont start somewhere then these parasites will increase in your part of town. This is rampant in every city now! My only question is WHY? Humanity is breaking down all around us and everyone is responsible.
Choices have consequences
the best , not only better
You can tell there city workers cleaning up the camp(THANKS), one man working five standing around.
Please God help the homeless American citizens ❤
God helps those who help themself !
@@wenpai1062 There is no Hell hotter than John Calvin's.
Just not fair, they should be able to live on on street. The City is taking good care of them, cleaning up, feeding, free medical, clothing, everything a lazy Bum needs to stay a lazy Bum. I was watching an old episode of Chips, all filmed on location in Los Angeles in the the late 70s. No trash along the highway, no homeless living on the streets, Vince beach is pristine, no tags. It’s sick to see what the government has let happen.
I can't believe they are actually enforcing these rules. Unbelievable.
If you paid $17,000 a year in property taxes and $15,000 a year in state income taxes you'd understand
If you want the streets lined with trash go live in newark nj
@@neinkalando2519 You simple one.. You do know that is to cover the Government employees Salaries. Pension Funds. Premium Medical etc... And being half the State is Government Employees. You pay higher taxes just for that...And the State is still under funded their Pension funds by $200 Billion US...Then you paid $150 Billion to train that doesn't even exist yet...
Why California was the Richest State. Now it's shit hole. As Democrats are like a parasite. They invade the host. then when it dies. They look for a new one to support them...As the same thing happen to Flint, Michigan. Detroit. Chicago etc..
Unbelievable seriously,,,, they have no respect for other people they leave all there crap in the street, block the side walk and leave garbage everywhere
They will just set up camp somewhere else then go back and forth
Well...its about time!!!
🎉thanks .I want same clinic.
Confiscate the stolen grocery carts, allow the rightful owners to pick them up.
I sewe alot of stolen properties out there
That was tense! I truly believe if your going to live in your van or RV at least keep it tidy outside. I feel very bad for the homeless, and other street dwellers but I also feel bad for the people living around there. How can anyone possibly go for a walk comfortably or walk your dog with that type of disorder? Then the city is also the jerks!~ How is just cleaning up going to help? HOW? All these guys are going to do is start right back again around the corner! Gee, that's smart city officials and worse.. THE STATE!~ The state is a bunch of lazy azes not doing anything to help this madness. I was a crack addict and how is handing a clean crack pipe with brillo going to help em? Stupid! Its interesting how the cops also just keep quiet and calm but wonder what they feel about all this? Are the cops unable to speak how they feel or are they also now censored? Any cops here? How do you feel about this?
😂 crazy world 🌍 getting crazier
How ‘ bout, don’t camp out in the city…?
I was homeless, and I wasn’t filthy. I didn’t sh*t in the streets. I didn’t set people’s cars, buildings, persons on fire. THATS how I feel about that.
Get dam job might help 🤣
If you believe that your crazy it will be right back were it is in a few weeks.
Would it not be possible for city councils to set aside designated clean and safe areas for the homeless to set up camp. These could include sanitation, shower and laundry facilities etc.
The problem with this idea is you don't solve the problem you just relocate it. Throwing money at the problem has been the norm so far for large cities in California and all it does is make the people that are running the program dependant upon it in other words they don't want to fix the problem because it would mean they would be out of a job. There needs to be structure and accountability! the way the program is being run right now there really isn't no matter how well they think it's working, they are just managing homelessness not fixing the issue. Identify the types of homelessness, bad luck decisions, drug addiction, mental health issues etc... put into effect policies and procedures to correct and treat the underlying issues, execute those policies and procedures and hold the ones that have come up with said policies and procedures accountable.
Great😮😮😮😮
The sense of urgency is palpable. Everyone keenly focused. 8 police cruisers, 1 bicycle cop, sanitary truck w/ driver, a comfort trailer, 5 sanitary workers & a benefits coordinator. The unhoused knew this assault was their doom. Moving to the next street over was their only option. Quite sad to hear the cry of sorrow, defeated, the unhoused moved on.Spell binding.
Seems like the homeless find their voice when being forced to move. It would be better for them to have a common area to allow this knowledge to be gathered in an intelligent manner. But I see also the plight of the residents on this community whose property is being lessened in the wholistic destructive depression of squatters. It's good to have everyone hands on during these clean ups because homeless depressed persons can escalate into manic behavior when their switch is thrown open and cause more problems.
@@whosspyingonme Understanding the difference is what homeless people are trying to get when they act out by malicious squatting behavior. Obviously the official's present are not available for counseling but to help organize the clean up.
@@jwaterous224most don’t want counseling they want to be left alone to destroy and take over an entire block. Look at Kingston Philly it’s disgusting … You cant even visit many areas safely within this country because of many different factors! You really have to do deep research before taking a trip out of your local area… tragic!
No matter how hard officials try, they are not going to stop progress. These energy and resource efficent camps are the future, soon the whole city will have a progressive population.
This is not a solution, it just makes the people with homes feel better because they cannot see the distress of others. Provide housing for these people and move them in, then clean up and you have a far better solution. Enable them to regain their purpose and respect, not destroy the little they have! Jeepers!
Damn, I need to start selling grocery carts and tarps. Watch out you don’t step in someone’s morning dump
These people are young. I got my first job at 13 and worked for 50 years. Even in today's high rent, there are places to live. The Internet is now full of people that are renting out rooms in there houses for as low as $400 a month. There is always an alternative. This should never be allowed in any city. City's need to not allow people to live on the streets. They either are housed, or they don't live in the city. In other words they have to leave. If they refuse they would be arrested. Any type of housing provided they would have to work to pay for. It's City started demanding that people work for their services or leave unless they have a place to live this would not continue. These people are all young and can work and there's no excuse for what they're doing. None.
I agree with your sentiment and frustration, but that would totally be against the 5th amendment.
Always the same handful of cops doing the dirty and unpleasant work. Respect & Love. ❤🙏🏼
If i tried to set up a tent in my area cops would kick me out immediately, that's exactly what has to happen, if you don't react immediately to 1 tent there'll be 100's in a week, 1000's in a month, why all of a sudden in the USA is it okay to build tent cities, I'm 63 from a city and I've never seen these until last decade or so, and don't tell me there weren't homeless before that
What homeless people don't realize is that they are creating filthy living conditions. Paper, all kinds of garbage, human waste, needles , shopping carts full of garbage. It is unhealthy to live in those conditions. And they are putting all of it in front of business and homes were people live. This is truly sad to see this in the United States . Just how is this problem going to be solved. It seems to be getting worst. It's so many different reasons why a lot of people are homeless.😒
Quit standing around and just do it. They know they're wrong.
What goes in the truck, stays in the truck !
Some of these people have skills : make them contribute towards building their own tiny home, and maybe they’ll have enough self-pride as not to trash the place!
Who I'm from we'd call this people 'freeloaders'. And you never see them 'work' so hard as when you're coming for their 'stuff. What a pleasure to see city workers clean it out....they should never be allowed to set up in the first place.
Thank you to the City of LA, public works, law enforcement and everyone who helping to do this. We are all tired of living with the danger, filth and crime that comes with addicts and mentally ill living on the streets with no accountability. We don't want our city to go down like SF and Portland. Most of us have worked hard to live here for a lifetime, and imagine those people in those apartments right there? We do need more treatment centers but many refuse to do the work required to stay sober so this is on them. Why would anyone get sober if we let them do this? No wonder addiction has sky rocketed. We do have homeless shelters and places for displaced seniors and families with kids. No one was put out during Covid either and that made this seem OK. This is not a planned scheme from rich people, this is reality we all have to work or contribute to live here. Let's try to be in reality people.
The cost of this little operation would be absolutely mind-blowing and then would need to be multiplied thousands of times over before the problem would start to make change. These people need to be taken care of even if it means incarceration in managed homeless camps and a firm hand to get them back on track, no choice just compliance or jail.
Thank you you are so awake and aware most people watching this think it's a major.LMFAO
😂what operation? I do that sht for free. Chug their whole stolen shopping cart of trash in the garbage truck. Whoring stuff while homeless in the most expensive city then cry while injecting cracks
Yeah, take care of them. That’s exactly what a majority of these people except!! If they can come together and build these filthy encampments on the streets they can get a job and come together and rent a home… 🙄
@@Truelyblue333 Get a job where? As most people working in California have to drive 2-3 hours to work. As they can't even afford a closet. As they rent closets out for $2,500.00 a month. Why most the Employees at Google, Facebook etc....live in their cars in the parking lots at work.. Also the reason for the States traffic jams..
Now shut the hell up. You have no clue how things work in California.
You are right one pup. I am with you 100%. However, the majority of people in California believe it is wrong to incarcerate them or force them into any type of rehabilitation camp.
Life goes on
Watching this 1 month old video from Pakistan. Never been to US or to anywhere else, but find this video very fascinating. My mind even wondering what these cops and the cleaning gentlemen must have had for breakfast, did they drive to work today or took a bus, when they were eating breakfast, were they reading newspaper or watching news on tv or mobile, the shoes they are wearing they bought them or provided by their departments, etc. My mind is crazy is like that.
At least something is starting to get done. I am SICK of this homeless mess that has been going on forever.
Believe me I bet you you are one paycheck away from being in the same
@@MrPeterHaller No. I'm not bragging, but my bank account says I will never be homeless.
Why are there always so many cops and city workers standing around, isn't that a colossal waste of money? Oh well, middle class welfare system I guess.
Because loots of the people have mental problems. Some get mad and don't want to leave.
Some of these people can be unhinged and dangerous. Just a week ago a homeless person stabbed a bus driver, I believe to death, in Venice Beach. The cops do need to be on standby.
No the bus driver isn't dead. Stop spreading fake news.
@@sunsensational We all know that already. Does that take 8 cops, with guns standing around, to deal with that in case it happens, when 2 should be enough? Middle class welfare.
@@happyinharned9583 And why again do you need eight cops with guns to deal with this possibility, when in fact, if they were as esteemed as some seem to think, 2 would do the job?
OMGGGGGG HOARDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Hard working cops
Drug free homeless camps need to be established and managed like prisons. Mandatory drug free status, mandatory education, mandatory work schedule, mandatory counseling. Without that, all this window dressing will fail.
Cities vs camps
