A lot of your comments are correct but the system promotes homelessness. The prison industrial complex grows larger. It actually thrives on those in despair. The real problem is with the city officials and the policies. thanks for the good reporting German. Love you Channel
I disagree. We need jails and prisons for criminals to pay for their crimes, also violent offenders don't need to be in the same society as the innocent. The prison complex grows larger because of crime. It doesn't thrive on despair. People in despair have resources from government programs to local churches and state and local programs. The problem isn't with city officials and policies, the real problem is with people who commit crimes because they don't want to work to buy things for themselves, they would rather take it from someone else. As many free and low cost programs there are anyone can get the education they need to secure a good job. The problem is people don't seek it out. They also get into drugs and alcohol which promotes criminal activity.

There is a good homeless shelter down in Laguna Beach. Its at 20652 Laguna Canyon Road. They have a free food pantry in the morning, free laundry services and you can camp in the parking lot if the shelter is full at night.
My father in law was invited to stay w us. He chose to stay out drinking in the streets, passed out at bus stops and sleeping at night outside my garage. He didn't want anyone telling him how to live his life. I've come to believe this lifestyle is a choice. But with the lockdown and so many unemployed, many everyday Americans aren't too far behind these "homeless" folks. God help us all. Even the homeless ( with a different mind set and determination).

Love that you post the good and the bad. I was raised in that area and there always have been homeless. I think getting them on some empty lots could help and also sleeping bags.
He talks about help me, send me some money, give me a check. It's always give me give me give me. Write checks for everyone. Are any of them trying to find a way to help themselves? Most I've heard like living this way because they don't want to live by rules if they are offered shelter. I'm a single mom raised 3 kids by myself, been in a situation where I was homeless but I be damn if I didn't pick myself up seek some help and help myself get out of that situation. I know that drug and mental illness plays a part in many cases, but there are those too who just make excuses.
@Kate Bailey you should reach out and offer him a place to stay. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind ya sending some of your easily earned money to him monthly either. We know you have it!! Don’t be cheap, he deserves it!!!
@Kate Bailey good luck. I have never trusted or depended on the government for anything, they’re a racket of crooks. You’re 100 times better off in Arkansas than any state on the west coast.
Most of them love the free drug that California offer. Free clean needle and those die hard liberals with few penny to share. Some of them spend every penny from begging for drug and those silly pennies won't help them healing. Stop enabling them, that's my motto, most people would not agree, but at least I still have freedom with my own monies.
I'm homeless traveler, and think venice needs to be cleaned up. I go to venice but sleep in cars not streets but u can't just let venice become skid row. Cmon people
The only way to help them is to pull them all out of the street, it's not an individual or charities job, but it should be called a national emergency at government's level, sort of a New Deal .
Since Gucc was interviewed I decided to turn on subtitles. I don't know who writes them but it was pretty funny; Corona virus became - crawl battle, German in Venice - german inventor, and something Gucc said (unintelligible) - chicken lion cheese. I am sure there were more, but like they say communication is 93% non-verbal, so I'm sure everyone gets the overall story, same old same old, pay up or get out!, Don't hold your breath waiting for that check Gucc. Thanks Mike, you are getting really good at this, keep smiling bro.
thanks for posting I was on the verge to being homeless in 1985 was able to "pull myself together" I feel some weird obligation to people who are homeless but I can't do it for them if I got free anybody can I was a massive human train wreck
Solution is to find them temporary housing and job. Once they have a job, they have to keep it. But the homeless has to be willing to go back to work or attempt to acquire work no matter how low paying unless they like living on street. Some income is better than none. You can only help so much, but they have to be willing to help them self to get out of the situation and they have to be willing to accept outside help.
Most of these homeless don't want housing or help because they want to keep getting fucked up all day on drugs and beer. Cali spends billions on helping the homeless especially this year... The ones you see in the video are beyond help. They don't want to work and follow rules. Fuck em
@@samnoone8354 My only wish is they would ALL OD and call it a day so we stop paying high ass taxes for them people to “hang out” all fn day AND US TAX payers could actually ENJOY A DISEASE / URINE FREE BEACH IMAGINE THAT!!
Going to throw an idea out there. Let's put our closed bases to use. How many empty buildings (even if we just use a couple of hangers?)are on closed bases? There is already a fence. Plenty of space for at least 30,000. Probably, more. Just putting it out there. God Bless Everyone
I left Socal back in 2006 and after watching your UA-cams, I am glad I did and have no desire to return. BUT I do remember how much I loved it. Even then though I remember being a bit spooked out at night alone in Venice Beach. Plus it was always exorbitantly expensive. What a heartbreak to see what has become of the place.🤯😥

Gucci needs a platform to speak up for homeless rights and how to stay up when you're down he is truly a good character I'm happy you can get him a sleeping bag 👌

Good morning there in Venice Mike, you’re friend is very passionate about what he believes but funny at the same time. We are on a partial lockdown up here in Michigan for the next 90 days I believe. No one wants to wear a mask so that’s why it keeps going around or they don’t social distance. It is sad how the police treat the homeless by running them off. Really the solution is try to give them jobs to the ones who can work and also put them in affordable housing section 8. I know they don’t have those at all in California that I know of. I live in section 8 housing because I am partially disabled. I’m on disability but I do make money on the side with cutting men’s hair every now and then. Thanks for the terrific video! And you have a wonderful day!
Glad Venice Beach is finally getting cleaned up. You know where the homeless can stay? In jail or prison, free room and board. Seriously, I've heard of people in colder states that get arrested to have a place to stay in the colder seasons. I'm glad German doesn't let Gucci stay at his pad because the message is to get off your ass and make something of yourself.
They do not have money to pay any fines. I think the city knows this and is just going through the motions, Logically how could they expect payment? What would be the cost to jail all these 40,000 homeless in the city?
The system takes our taxes, while billionairs pay a few percent on the money make, if that. I know rich wealthy people and all of them are ruthless as fuck behind closed doors or historically for that matter. Mind you im like a super duper non socialist. Im talking about American policys could favor the homeless in a much better way, to get them rehab and jobs, (tax paying jobs.) At the end of the day every non working American is potential lost tax revenue for America. Educate yourself. Before you say B.S. around here.

I'm Disabled, a Veteran, and have been homeless for two years. I'm not a drug addict, just lost my housing two years ago when the Apartment Complex I was living at was sold to a buyer in Toronto, who promptly notified the tenants living with Section 8 or VASH assistance was given the option to move out or pay full market value rent. I found while looking for a place to move to, that most low income housing was eliminated in this same fashion by greedy investors. I bought an old van on payments and was forced to start living in it. I did so for a year and was offered a tiny fiberglass trailer on payments. I found that the person I bought it from had mislead me on a clear title, and have had difficulty getting it registered and legal to tow. I have been stranded at a Recreation Area, above Kingman Arizona for seven months now trying to get repairs done to my van. It is no longer safe to drive, and definitely not suitable to tow my trailer. It has been a living hell, upto 128 degrees at times this summer, now dealing with freezing cold at night and heavy winds. Every time I try to get some repairs made, something comes up. I bought a used generator which failed in a couple weeks, had to buy another one, then my emotional support dog Archie was badly bitten and required veterinary care, my air conditioning compressor failed in my Van, I cut my knuckle to the bone and ligaments on some glass discarding some trash which resulted in an Emergency Room Visit. I have been trying to get help, and have not much success. I was accepted for Rapid Rehousing through the Catholic Charities, but have searched all over Mohave County but found I cannot afford an apartment on my disability income. I am now in a panic as I was notified by the Catholic Charities Caseworker handling my information, had their computer stolen and now my personal information has been compromised. I am on a waiting list for Section 8, basically started over. I did not choose to be in this homeless situation, and have been doing my best to deal with everything I have experienced the past 2 years. I had to literally give everything I owned away when I lost my apartment EVERYTHING!, I did try and keep my many tools, but those to were lost by a "friend" who was going but keep them until I get settled, but would never respond to my calls or texts. I am absolutely sick of my life. I don't live anymore, I merely exist, and it's not much of an existence. I have not showered in nearly 8 months, and haven't bathed in over two years since losing my apartment. I have reached out to every VA organization or service center for help, but am ineligible. I served 6 years in The Air National Guard, and was honorably discharged, but still don't meet the requirements as I was on active duty for well over a year with Avionics Technical School, and was activated during Desert Storm, but could not deploy with my unit, as I was a 3 level technician straight out of school. I have no family for support, no friends, only a few people I have met while being homeless. I have had a fellow vet brings some water bottles and food items several months back, but I don't see how I can ever get out of my situation as my limited income doesn't suffice.
in my time when i was homeless in Amsterdam i was a lot surounded by people like him, nice old school homeless people.. as a young guy it helped me in that time
In my town in California you get a posted 3 day notice to get out. On the 4th day the police take your tent and everything else you have, saying "Come to the court in a week and prove the items are yours, and they'll give them back to you".
Every homeless person you interview you should ask did they originally come from cali , most likely not. Not many places have year round beautiful weather.
Pops is on point about the jax and mind control. People of the street are called crazy when in reality they see things from an enlightened perspective.
Send me a check,,, he’s not the only one, also I got disabled and live on s.s.I., can barely walk because of back surgery gone bad, and still pay a mortgage,,, and other bills,, ....it’s not fun though. Are they going to open up that center and let them live inside there? Heard they was going to

@Steven Mai Well I think we're on the same page there and it's starts at the top. Smirking elitist Newsome needs to go along with the SF mayor and LA mayor..but the corruption runs deeper..Now we are finding out this Election software is run by outside nations and has backdoors that can be "altered" by staff..Who knows how many elections were stolen at this point...
Love that you post the good and the bad. I was raised in that area and there always have been homeless. I think getting them on some empty lots could help and also sleeping bags.
He talks about help me, send me some money, give me a check. It's always give me give me give me. Write checks for everyone. Are any of them trying to find a way to help themselves? Most I've heard like living this way because they don't want to live by rules if they are offered shelter. I'm a single mom raised 3 kids by myself, been in a situation where I was homeless but I be damn if I didn't pick myself up seek some help and help myself get out of that situation. I know that drug and mental illness plays a part in many cases, but there are those too who just make excuses.
Your friend Gucci is awesome 👌....smiling despite the situation! Everything he said was on point! Take care Gucci🥰
First time I see Gucci distressed... Wish him and all the homeless well. Nobody wants to live like that.
@Kate Bailey Gucci ain’t never gonna have a job or contribute to society
Hehehe is Happy : -D 👍 👍 👍
@Kate Bailey you should reach out and offer him a place to stay. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind ya sending some of your easily earned money to him monthly either. We know you have it!! Don’t be cheap, he deserves it!!!
@Kate Bailey good luck. I have never trusted or depended on the government for anything, they’re a racket of crooks. You’re 100 times better off in Arkansas than any state on the west coast.
Most of them love the free drug that California offer. Free clean needle and those die hard liberals with few penny to share. Some of them spend every penny from begging for drug and those silly pennies won't help them healing. Stop enabling them, that's my motto, most people would not agree, but at least I still have freedom with my own monies.
I'm homeless traveler, and think venice needs to be cleaned up. I go to venice but sleep in cars not streets but u can't just let venice become skid row. Cmon people
*Homelessness is Real* just know there are good people still willing to help those who are in need, during these *unprecedented times* 💖💖🤲
ye
yeah
I dont have anything..I would STILL like to help in someway.A part of a solution.Ann
Help homeless, give em a bed n something 2 eat ,: 0
The only way to help them is to pull them all out of the street, it's not an individual or charities job, but it should be called a national emergency at government's level, sort of a New Deal .
Gucci sounded so much more like a ‘normal’ person in the last video. Here he sounds and looks crazy.
They're going to have us all in a camp if things keep getting worse.
They = progressive government officials..only one party wants to be sensible..
Bingo!

In India typhoon season dead homeless everywhere!
Since Gucc was interviewed I decided to turn on subtitles. I don't know who writes them but it was pretty funny; Corona virus became - crawl battle, German in Venice - german inventor, and something Gucc said (unintelligible) - chicken lion cheese. I am sure there were more, but like they say communication is 93% non-verbal, so I'm sure everyone gets the overall story, same old same old, pay up or get out!, Don't hold your breath waiting for that check Gucc. Thanks Mike, you are getting really good at this, keep smiling bro.
thanks for posting I was on the verge to being homeless in 1985 was able to "pull myself together" I feel some weird obligation to people who are homeless but I can't do it for them if I got free anybody can I was a massive human train wreck
"They got money, don't you be trippin..." "You just pass checks out till your fingers are sore..." Lol, send this man a check!!
Thank you for covering the homeless. May God bless you.
Solution is to find them temporary housing and job. Once they have a job, they have to keep it. But the homeless has to be willing to go back to work or attempt to acquire work no matter how low paying unless they like living on street. Some income is better than none.
You can only help so much, but they have to be willing to help them self to get out of the situation and they have to be willing to accept outside help.
@Kate Bailey 😢❤
Most of these homeless don't want housing or help because they want to keep getting fucked up all day on drugs and beer. Cali spends billions on helping the homeless especially this year... The ones you see in the video are beyond help. They don't want to work and follow rules. Fuck em
@@samnoone8354 My only wish is they would ALL OD and call it a day so we stop paying high ass taxes for them people to “hang out” all fn day
AND US TAX payers could actually ENJOY A DISEASE / URINE FREE BEACH
IMAGINE THAT!!
93% of "homeless" are "drug addicts" lifetime herione and crystal meth!!
By watching this scene, I see Canada 🇨🇦 as HEAVEN
Going to throw an idea out there. Let's put our closed bases to use. How many empty buildings (even if we just use a couple of hangers?)are on closed bases? There is already a fence. Plenty of space for at least 30,000. Probably, more. Just putting it out there.
God Bless Everyone
Lets send homeless people to mars on spaceship.
these people don't want help in that sense. they just want free money to buy drugs and lay on the beach all day..I mean who doesn't?
I left Socal back in 2006 and after watching your UA-cams, I am glad I did and have no desire to return. BUT I do remember how much I loved it. Even then though I remember being a bit spooked out at night alone in Venice Beach. Plus it was always exorbitantly expensive. What a heartbreak to see what has become of the place.🤯😥
They need treatment for mental health and addiction problems then housing surely right? Not handouts
@@giftedgreen2152 Rehab works but it also depends on the individuals. People have to want to get clean and be productive.
Gooch is like movie character, the way he talk.. we need more of Gooch
This shouldn't be allowed, it's not fair for the people that work and live there.
@ yeah you are not! So @redstreet give a credible solution on how to solve it
Gooch and Mike. When I come back through Venice I'm coming to see you both. Be good to one another people. This world needs as much of it as it can get
This guy is funny I like it is upbeat even though he's homeless..
I bet he is happy to be free as a bird and not to have Mama on his back, I envy him in a way.

100 thumbs up. Thief production is good for prison industrial complex profitability.
It is a good thing for you to show us how the homeless are really living so we can help instead of being critical
Giving homeless people a ticket? That's sad.nice vid Mike groetjes ♥️😊🇳🇱
Its gets dismissed anyways lol
I am with Gooch.. I aint taking no shots! He is quite a character, does make a person smile and laugh!
Gooch needs his own channel!! He could make some nice money too!!
Wow!! Never seen such a bright Sun 🌞
They got tickets because they do not belong on the beach. Not for being homeless.
The MEEK shall inherit the Earth. Blessings ✨
Go to a shelter, you cant just set up tents any where because you're homeless.
@Paranoid Drummer thats not entirely true and theres a bus that will pick you at at dusk take you over near UCLA give you food, a bed a shower and drop you back off at the beach in the AM.you can stay at shelters or they will give you hotel vouchers.strict rules, curfew, no drinking no drugs no pets.alas those are the rules or you can go to another state that has different rules...
@Paranoid Drummer I picked up and left LA when the pandemic hit.. I now am paying 90% less to live and am surrounded by nature..(in Texas) don't worry highly doubt most Californians would choose to move to TX as its an entirely different world..Am just a free spirit
shelters are like concentration camps. get a car. keep it running. keep moving. that's all we can do until they decide to stop blaming the homeless for the flawed capitalistic system. it's a mess.
Gucci needs a platform to speak up for homeless rights and how to stay up when you're down he is truly a good character I'm happy you can get him a sleeping bag 👌
Tell Happy , here in Virginia we have his twin! But his name is Honey! They are totally identical!
Instead of tickets, why not offer stipends to those able to get (and keep) a job? Perhaps a job picking up litter off the beach?
Bus them to Slab city, Niland , lots of land there
You have to be a hard core survivalists to make it in slab city
Yep, Mayor Vango will welcome them with open arms 😂
@@dontamba4919 yes yuma
They are sick of the tweakers too and they are not nice about it either.
That's what I dsaid.. man.. lol I got to say... for real.. lol why not right ... dude
Yeah it gets a lot worse before it gets better unfortunately but like I said in the past if there were pitches in it helps it's the little things in life great work once again Mike thumbs up brother!!!!!
Dont look down on the homeless, I dont care what you have, somewhere down the road, could happen to YOU!
I don't want 2 be homeless ,: 0
Yup, only one check away.....if I miss one day of work, means rent is late. It is what it is.....🍻😲🍻🤔
God Bless Everyone
He's a good character! You bring out the good in everyone! Shuch a good character yourself!
Gucci is delushinal AF ..I thank god Im in a position where I can help people and change there lives now and I love doing it but people like this guy I stay away from at first I felt sorry for the guy I even considered going down and helping him out but after hearing him today Hell No ...you can tell he is a victim of the media and is at the point where he feels everyone owes him now ...after he said "send me a check...if you aint got my money get out.." with that mind set he will never change his situation
Thank you friendly politicians for their fine California leadership.
Feature Gootch regularly. He's the best. Gootch should have his own UA-cam channel. Lets send Gootch a sleeping bag and tent.
No, I don't like this screaming beggar man..."I don't got no money!"
Oh and such a big well done on 51k
"You can't come live with me Gooch"! 😂
Ya what's up with that?!
Good morning there in Venice Mike, you’re friend is very passionate about what he believes but funny at the same time. We are on a partial lockdown up here in Michigan for the next 90 days I believe. No one wants to wear a mask so that’s why it keeps going around or they don’t social distance. It is sad how the police treat the homeless by running them off. Really the solution is try to give them jobs to the ones who can work and also put them in affordable housing section 8. I know they don’t have those at all in California that I know of. I live in section 8 housing because I am partially disabled. I’m on disability but I do make money on the side with cutting men’s hair every now and then. Thanks for the terrific video! And you have a wonderful day!
They can all go to Nancy Pelosi's home.
They should pitch their fn tent at the mayors mansion in Hancock Park 👍🏼
And Newsoms, that would be awesome!!! What a sad State this is, they are marching in there NWO
GOOD IDEA !!! SHE CAN USE ALL THE COMPANY SHE CAN GET .
Laughter is the best medicine for the heart and soul God bless
Glad Venice Beach is finally getting cleaned up. You know where the homeless can stay? In jail or prison, free room and board. Seriously, I've heard of people in colder states that get arrested to have a place to stay in the colder seasons. I'm glad German doesn't let Gucci stay at his pad because the message is to get off your ass and make something of yourself.
If you think jail and prison is free, you’re highly confused
Gucci is illiterate and doesn’t speak proper business English. Construction companies would rather hire Mexicans than him. The world passed him by.
@Joe Blow , that kinda sounds racist doesn't it?
@@kenanacampora pretty sure he let himself go..why make him a victim?
They do not have money to pay any fines. I think the city knows this and is just going through the motions, Logically how could they expect payment? What would be the cost to jail all these 40,000 homeless in the city?
In America if your Homeless, your pretty much not Human anymore. All the laws and the system dont do nothing positive for people who are HUMANS TOO
That is B.S.!!
The system takes our taxes, while billionairs pay a few percent on the money make, if that. I know rich wealthy people and all of them are ruthless as fuck behind closed doors or historically for that matter. Mind you im like a super duper non socialist. Im talking about American policys could favor the homeless in a much better way, to get them rehab and jobs, (tax paying jobs.) At the end of the day every non working American is potential lost tax revenue for America.
Educate yourself. Before you say B.S. around here.
@@wandasewell4501: It's an American political cliche to say Republicans care for you when you
are in the womb, but after you are born you're on your own. That's your capitalist system,

I would have a lot more sympathy for Guch if he was asking for a job rather than a check... good luck brother, you got a tough road ahead. for sure..
Someone in California government went sane.
Cities and suburbs are for people who live in houses.
Slab City Ca is free to live there. No police. Are all these people from Los Angeles? Ca is a homeless MAGNET. Nice weather and free money. Give the guy talking a JOB, not Money. He will have some money by WORKING. Period.
That guy cracks me up! Lmao!
Love gooch and he ain't lying about everything he said especially the shot man's a smart man God bless all those folks who need all the help in the world I pray for all of us Jesus name amen
Any of these people who voted for democratic liberal democrats should not be complaining. This is what they voted for. When gas becomes $20.00 per gallon dont complain either its what they voted for.
"You pass those checks out until your fingers are sore" .......Gucci should be a politician..... I love him!!!!
Imagine working hard and SAVING to buy property on the beach just to have a homeless encampment pop up in front of your house. Talk about unfair.
I'm Disabled, a Veteran, and have been homeless for two years. I'm not a drug addict, just lost my housing two years ago when the Apartment Complex I was living at was sold to a buyer in Toronto, who promptly notified the tenants living with Section 8 or VASH assistance was given the option to move out or pay full market value rent. I found while looking for a place to move to, that most low income housing was eliminated in this same fashion by greedy investors.
I bought an old van on payments and was forced to start living in it. I did so for a year and was offered a tiny fiberglass trailer on payments. I found that the person I bought it from had mislead me on a clear title, and have had difficulty getting it registered and legal to tow. I have been stranded at a Recreation Area, above Kingman Arizona for seven months now trying to get repairs done to my van. It is no longer safe to drive, and definitely not suitable to tow my trailer. It has been a living hell, upto 128 degrees at times this summer, now dealing with freezing cold at night and heavy winds. Every time I try to get some repairs made, something comes up. I bought a used generator which failed in a couple weeks, had to buy another one, then my emotional support dog Archie was badly bitten and required veterinary care, my air conditioning compressor failed in my Van, I cut my knuckle to the bone and ligaments on some glass discarding some trash which resulted in an Emergency Room Visit. I have been trying to get help, and have not much success. I was accepted for Rapid Rehousing through the Catholic Charities, but have searched all over Mohave County but found I cannot afford an apartment on my disability income. I am now in a panic as I was notified by the Catholic Charities Caseworker handling my information, had their computer stolen and now my personal information has been compromised. I am on a waiting list for Section 8, basically started over. I did not choose to be in this homeless situation, and have been doing my best to deal with everything I have experienced the past 2 years. I had to literally give everything I owned away when I lost my apartment EVERYTHING!, I did try and keep my many tools, but those to were lost by a "friend" who was going but keep them until I get settled, but would never respond to my calls or texts. I am absolutely sick of my life. I don't live anymore, I merely exist, and it's not much of an existence. I have not showered in nearly 8 months, and haven't bathed in over two years since losing my apartment. I have reached out to every VA organization or service center for help, but am ineligible. I served 6 years in The Air National Guard, and was honorably discharged, but still don't meet the requirements as I was on active duty for well over a year with Avionics Technical School, and was activated during Desert Storm, but could not deploy with my unit, as I was a 3 level technician straight out of school. I have no family for support, no friends, only a few people I have met while being homeless. I have had a fellow vet brings some water bottles and food items several months back, but I don't see how I can ever get out of my situation as my limited income doesn't suffice.
You dont have to go home, but you can't stay here
in my time when i was homeless in Amsterdam i was a lot surounded by people like him, nice old school homeless people.. as a young guy it helped me in that time
Guch kinda looks and sounds like floyd mayweather sr 😂
Yeah right jajajajaj
The trainer.. I knew he reminded me of somebody.
In my town in California you get a posted 3 day notice to get out. On the 4th day the police take your tent and everything else you have, saying "Come to the court in a week and prove the items are yours, and they'll give them back to you".
Every homeless person you interview you should ask did they originally come from cali , most likely not. Not many places have year round beautiful weather.
Pops is on point about the jax and mind control.
People of the street are called crazy when in reality they see things from an enlightened perspective.
Send me a check,,, he’s not the only one, also I got disabled and live on s.s.I., can barely walk because of back surgery gone bad, and still pay a mortgage,,, and other bills,, ....it’s not fun though. Are they going to open up that center and let them live inside there? Heard they was going to
