If you would like to support German in Venice with some gas money or you want to buy me a coffee you are welcome to donate to my paypal account paypal.me/germ...
city councilmember mike bonin has proposed a motion that would bring tempoary homeless sites to county beaches including dockweiler state beach,fishermans village in marina del rey,and will rogers state beach.cleaning of the homeless encampment in venice beach starts april 15
Those $8000 temporary houses look suspiciously like $950 garden sheds you can get at Home Depot.
Well the friends of the Mayor need to line their pockets with all that tax payer money
Makes me physically ill seeing how they want to stuff their pockets - even on a the homelessness issue 🤦♂️
"I guess maybe you'll receive about a thousand dollars but we'll need more for us to let you do it" Schmucks.
Yeah but remember the government has to get its 90% cut for clerical fees
Shed cost 950
Appliances not included!!
They should get a3d printer !!
Foam Crete !!
What does it matter? Remember insurance,land improvements planning with city attorneys and taxes all add up. Not to mention security and liabilities.
Man, the tent industry must be booming right now.
And Rvs
They took it back to the Boy Scout days

@Neal J. nice pun
They're all sold out
He’s always respectful and doesn’t disparage the homeless but he shows it as it is. Sad situation....
Really? Shower, 3 meals a day, wifi. I'm on my way
That's what most everyone needs. Well a cell phone, laundry, and small storage are also necessities. A big problem for most homeless is lack of storage except smart resourceful ones will go out and rent a small storage to use as a closet where you go once a week to get all your dirty laundry, do it at laundromat, return it, take 2 clean sets, return Wednesday with 2 dirty set, getting 2 or 3 more, and using only a regular student backpack on a daily basis. That's what worked for me where it's not too strange to take a regular backpack to work and other places. While you can't sleep in a storage room, they're super cheap allowing that critically needed space if you don't have a car trunk to work out of. Then the free Obama phones were easy for anyone to get that also included internet data and then you could use laptop wifi at libraries and coffee shops.
I'll take the beach in a tent ! Bathe in the ocean fine by. Me.
I would ask them do you have a down payment on your beach front property, that will be one million dollars.
There's a difference between being homeless and wanting to stay homeless. I was homeless at one point in life but worked toward not staying homeless
Exactly, I’ve been homeless twice in my life but now I live in nice home six blocks from the beach. Even when I was homeless I never believed I was going to stay there. The first time I was homeless it was for eight months and the second time it was for 13 months. And I believe it was my faith in God that got me out of it and showed me away.
I agree I found myself homeless after my divorce with my children....let me tell you that was a very temporary thing. I worked my ass off as fast as I could to get us off the street never looked back and never wound up there again. If you don't WANT to be there you won't be
Yo main im homless like fuck i sleep in my truck and i work getting back on my feet and they dont stink, self destruction,alcohol and drugs are not the answer belive me dont go down come up g".
a lot of people don't want to deal with our shitty country, so yeah, I could understand why people want to continue being homeless. (:
@@awildpokemonuwu lol "don't want to deal with our country" that is funny it is short for they don't want to be responsible and work and be productive in life sitting on the ground complaining that the "country" is bad or that the "government" got them there is a cop out
I remember when I first moved to LA 23 years ago joking about being able to live on the beach in my RV like Mel Gibson in lethal weapon. My local friends already here said, “no you can’t do that that’s just in the movies.” How times change.
As you can see not only in the movies.
lol...or like Rockford...and I thought I was the only one who was into that ;)
What you wanna say? Mel...was hobo???
I lived near the beach in an RV 25 years ago. It was getting difficult at that time, and now it's pretty much impossible.
Actually, I remember a bunch of trailer parks along the coast from the Palisades (Temescal), up to Malibu (Sand Castle), so, ya, they're around. Imagine the property value!
I used to live in Marina del Rey back in 2004. It was a beautiful city, but the homeless people always found ways to get into the "secure" parking garages to camp out. I remember seeing very few homeless people at Marina back then. I am completely blown away at how Venice Beach is looking. Of course it did have its homeless population too, but never to the degree it is now. LA is changed so much since my days of living there, and especially during the past year. It's sad to see just how unaffordable it has become.
What level of affordable do you think would turn things around(?) When many of the homeless are offered a way out or offered help... they don't want the help... they just want to be homeless. It's all a huge frustrating catch 22.
German in Venice, I love how you pose where celebrities have been. The historical content is appreciated.
Yes I love that.
As a main tourist attraction ...it’s about time!!!! And shame on the local government for letting it get this far
Those poor souls have slipped between societies cracks and forgotten. I agree the govt has dropped the ball
The government reflects the will of the voter. The saying goes “you get the government you vote for “. Change will only come from voters changing. Stop voting for the problem
I knew it was coming as people are vaccinated and city workers are allowed to do their jobs it was bound to happen.
The local govt has MUCHO MAS ATTITUDE
Exactly 😡
I can tell you from experience from up here in Oregon, those tiny houses won't be temporary.
The new normal.
Jason Mountain: $8000 for 64 square feet,wow.
No electric,no plumbing and no HVAC.
That's four square walls at two thousand dollars per wall.
@@ebayerr I'd rather tax dollars go to re-opening mental institutions for the majority of the homeless who need it.
Yup, that was obvious bullshit
Here in Oregon too.. what happened to our state
Moving from one beach to another beach down the way hardly seems like a solution. Love your channel German!
Excellent citizen journalism! Thank you for documenting what California is doing through amidst Covid and a border crisis with countless unvetted people living on the streets.
Venice Beach is officially off my bucket list. - R.I.P. LA.
What a dump
Rip California
They should pack them all up dump them in Palosi and Newsom's neighborhood see how they like it efn scum bags.
I went there 2 weeks ago and I wanted to cry...it’s sad...
Thank God that in&out burger is in Texas and Los Vegas and if there's an El Polo Loco too....oh man iam never going back to Cali
Laws should state if you pitch a tent on the beach, you will be required to do manual labor for the day to "pay" for your housing location. Watch how fast they'll pick up and leave.
Is a great idea 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 if they have for drugs, alcohol they can pay for housing location
Laws should state that when are too filthy rich that money should be put back into understanding and working with mental health, addictions and other front line issues. Look at Fentanyl it's almost in most drugs now on the streets. Where is this mass amount being produced? I think we need to look at the bigger picture before slaughtering the lambs. Once again left and right wing media has the masses thinking inside the box.
@@firstutopia5553 It is easier to blame, dismiss, and give an opinion than it is to ask "why and how" it happens(ed). We can't figure out a solution without figuring the root cause of the issue... but that means we must put forth effort other than sharing an opinion. Bad things happen to great people all of the time. I've known several that never had a drug issue until they were hurt; car/work accident. After being pumped full of pain meds for months they were doomed- 100%. Headed to the streets and lost everything... including their own lives. Obviously, there are several people here by choice, or have lost their jobs and don't have a family to turn to as well. It is sad... and the "working" have to pick up the tab because the elected council doesn't do anything but shuffle them around like playing cards.
@@robtaylor8907 very well said my friend
How would they enforce this?
There is a tiny home Village in Palm Springs and people love it! The man builds them for free.
Some of the best real world documentary on YT at the moment. Very matter of fact with enough retrospective to make it super interesting. Keep up the amazing work
They have so much garbage. You can tell they're setting up for the long term. They aren't planning on going anywhere.
One mans garbage is another mans treasure... majority of that garbage is probably on its 4th life, after a "housey" threw it out
@@davidr.g.9118 Haha. Right on.
Then the police will force them to leave the boardwalk, like they did on echo park
My coworker visited Venice for the first time. She just assumed the tents had always been there. When I went 15 years ago it was beautiful. Not a tent in sight.
Tents are relatively new. In past it was a sleeping bag or cardboard boxes or simple tarps. Homeless in Venice was always there for at least past 10 years. Many in RVs, but city put signs saying anything over x feet long like rvs can park overnight. But the population grew to what it is today as LA poor neighborhood gentrify.

Since then rents have exploded 80% at least...you might want to look at the cause and stop blaming ppl. Noone wants to be homeless. I cant believe how heartless u ppl are
WOW! What a difference 15 years makes...I wish I had visited back then when I had the opportunity.
@@sushilove1427 if “no one wants to be homeless”, then why have so many turned down free hotel rooms with Project Roomkey and bridge housing just this past year?
Nothing is so permanent as “temporary “......$8,000 for a shed that Home Depot sells for $1000. .....LA government at its best!👍
@Benjamin Mann - One would think buying these items in massive bulk quantities would reduce costs + why not sell advertising on the tiny houses and fixtures so the cost is reduced further!??? Doesn't require rocket science to figure out, plain common sense is all that's needed.
Keep those bums out of Home Depot !
Omg. I have not been in Venice for a long time. Terrible how beautiful Venice has become.
Of course they don't want to go to the tiny houses where they have rules and regulations. So many of them have these crazy entitled attitudes. They want it their way and arent willing to budge. LA has been coddling these people for far too long
It's a state problem and Newsom has only made it worse.
Nailed it!
They are cleaning it up for the illegals and vaccinating the homeless with the genocide shot☠️
Agreed!
Agreed .... they need to go. Sorry, but there are rules you need to follow to become a productive member of society. For those willing to seek help, there is help. For everyone else, they need to go. At some point, you cannot help everyone.
I used to go to all of those beaches. Moving people around is not the answer. Why destroy even more than you already have? There is lots of open space around the desert in Riverside move the tiny houses out there and clean up the beaches.
Like Slab City
Or open land east of Union Station.
@@sabrinacle exactly!
solution: one way tickets to slab city
Because no one is willing to live in a desert
A lot of them don’t want housing it’s just another way of control to them. They have tents and everything they need out doors. They have the best real estate in the country living on the beach
But it's not their land
@@johnlamas5880
Yup, it is called public property...🍻
I lived on the beach for a few years. There are amazingly gifted and damaged people drawn to the Oceans, for healing, I think. I know the water helped heal me...
I'd most certainly take the 8x8 tiny house over a tent for the tiny house is safer and probably more watched too where you can lock your stuff in there and leave out for the day. However if one is getting high and doing a drug ghetto colony, they're not going to want the tiny house human monitoring and social control program. I could not sleep at night living outdoors unless it was rural out of a car or in RV. The thing with RV's and campers, is there's not much legal parking nor lots you can rent to live in them for I too want out of my pricey apartment by going RV'ing instead where you could get one for like $5000 and break even in just a few months of not having to pay all that rent though high speed fiber or cable internet service is also a problem as is water and sewer for we just don't have the lots with infrastructure to support economical living like that. They did have trailer parks and a few remain, but not for RV's. Heck, my local RV camping area all closing due to drugs, homelessness, and crime. It sucks for that's a practical tiny house concept of living especially with Starlink internet coming online this year.
It’s always what they want. I say screw them they have had the run of the house. It’s time to go by our rules.
I saw a homeless woman say on one of these channels she doesn’t want off the streets, because on the streets she has no responsibility and no one or nothing to answer too, mind you she has three kids that her mom takes care of. And yes she’s on drugs!!! So sickening how lazy people have become!
So many homeless don't want to work or have any responsibility - just do drugs and hang out. They need to keep them off the streets ! Put them in an area where they don't interfere with people trying to live normally without interference from these bums and druggies.
This guy is one of the coolest guys on UA-cam. 100%
Sure take all the beachfront for the leeches. The losers and the druggies. Dang
Not many people understand the key to making it in LA is staying genuine..

Yes, in my opinion he should get himself a PO Box and also post what size of shirt he wears.

The more you enable and reward a behavior, the more of it you're going to see. Psychology 101.
And it's only gonna get worse look at San Francisco and LA
So true. My friend did volunteer work a few years ago and it was through a church and they providing showers and meal and said the people don’t appreciate it, they act like animals Throwing food around and to top it off in the showers they would find needles and empty liquor bottles so talk about enabling them. 🤦🏻♀️
I'd add also that 99% of these "homeless" they choose this life. Very few of them actually lost everything and ended up on the street. They are drug addicted,lazy people that live on others shoulders. Give them all for free it's criminal But that's what you get when left rules
To steal a line from Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver, "I wish a rain would come and wash all of this trash off the street".
So sad what's happened to the city I was once proud to call home.
I've thought about moving my family back to l.a many times cause I love it there, but I don't want my kids seeing the filth and scum that have taken over the city.
Can't we just bus all the fuckers out to Death Valley or something? Slab City has room for them.
Since you’re speaking about psychological issues, and how it all works. Let me remind you that currently in LA County it takes on average over 3 months to get your first appt for any mental health service help. Mind you, this is not a governmentally insured person either, which could then make it take even longer to get that help. Then because of that wait time 9/10 times you end up with people self treating their own issues. But Unfortunately 90% of the time the self treatment then creates or fuels an already existing addiction issue. And by that point the battle to want to help yourself, and/or the person they once were, is pretty much lost.... so if you want to stop the “rewarding” as you say, we need to first start the enabling of mental health programs that actually work.
Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming from Venice and perhaps beyond . You are doing a service by exposing more people to the plight of our compatriots and fellow human beings.
8K each? Just go to Home Depot and buy some of those prefab sheds, they'll work fine, and you'll save 7K on each one. Even if you throw in 1K to have someone assemble it, you're still saving a lot.
Damn right
Right? I know a guy who got a beautiful shed for like $1500 and turned it into a cute tiny house. Someone is making some $ off of this. Shouldn't cost that much to build out basic tiny homes.

Great comprehensive report on the tiny house proposal. Good journalism, Mike.
I work in major transportation in Los Angeles county and I’ve noticed that the city is starting to clean out major homeless encampments. Hopefully they’ll be housed respectively . Love your channel, it has amazing content regarding OUR city.👍🏾
My brother is homeless in LA. He says that this is his lifestyle. He and homeless friends don't want help. They want to do what they want
Your brother Loki?
And that is the message I got from every homeless person I worked with on the street for 3 years. They do not want to live under rules and no responsibility. How did so many end up that way?🤔 (Rhetorical question.)
Jeez, I didn't know that. And it's fair that if they want to live their lives however, but if that's the case, then they'll have to do it NOT in certain areas.
@@Kathleen253 I blame government, they will get their grimy swamp hands into anything to make money. You want to own a house? We will tax you for the land, you want a career with a higher income? Prepare to pay for those taxes from the money you be making. At the end of the day I can see why they want to live that sort of lifestyle coming from a moderate libertarian.
Yep.
This video was informative(homelessness in Venice), entertaining (Michael Jackson photos in Suzuki commercial), and hysterical (Pamela Anderson running on the beach) You are the best!!
Best Venice show on UA-cam! Us old school Venice Beach people are really heart broken by what they have let it become.
PS Nice seal imitation 😂
You are officially my go-to journalist for Venice Beach Street news. 👍❤
CA resident here. Our approach to the homeless is all wrong. Stop giving them things, stop feeling guilty for them, stop treating them like they’re VICTIMS, start laying down the law and start treating them like adults!!
They just want a place to lay their head at night. I just want to know when we decided sleeping under the stars was illegal? Cowboys in the old west did it all the time

@@robozstarrr8930 I've never seen that film but I just watched the trailer and it's definitely on my list now
ACCORDING TO YOU,,,,,,,YOU WOULD THROW THEM IN OVENS,,,,,😱
@@stevenw76 They're predominantly drug addicts. It's not about laying under the stars like cowboys. It about doing anything they can to score meth and heroin. The vast majority have lengthy arrest records. It's not romantic like you would love to make it out to be. Portland, Seattle, L.A., Oakland and many other cities are filthy due to the homeless drug addicts. It's all about drugs for the vast majority of homeless. Crime and drugs go hand in hand. That's why areas with the largest numbers of homeless have the highest property crimes.
“They’d rather be outside; they don’t want to be in tiny houses.” No shit. I would like to live on Venice Beach too. Let them clean up, get a job and buy some beachfront property in Venice, like adults are expected to do. Or buy somewhere less glamorous like most other adults do.
Love you man!
I’m a native Los Angelean who lives in Florida now!
Thank you for keeping people in the loop!
Those parking lots look like great spots to maintain a homeless population.
They need to stop passing out free food in the spots they don’t want encampments

Thank you from Toronto, Mike. Our problem has been quite different here. We have mandates to shelter those who want it during the winter, so thousands of otherwise empty hotel rooms are now full of people. This changes once the warm weather comes though, so I'm dreading what downtown will look like this summer. Also, all the postponed evictions are coming... Oh my God, what a mess this may be.

When they became empty and those people reintroduced into society I will like to occupy those houses till they became my own property. Sooner or later I can book them on Airbnb ;)

Free housing at the beach, what the heck how about free internet...lord knows why they need that.
@@scottanderson9656 Heard about Covid? And I don’t know how it us like in the US but in the rest of the west world, we use internet for pretty much everything administrative, bank, job seeking.

forget a free bathroom, aka, the ocean. I doubt anyone will ever use that beach again. I know there's a lot of water, but still
@@enrage6073 Ahhh, these people are homeless and if you've seen their camps they aren't looking for work, there are companies close by looking for people but you have to be willing to work and be clean. As far as banking, administration what don't you understand about being homeless?
Of course the homeless don’t wanna leave. They are living free on the (arguably) most desirable beach in America.
And MdR and Dockweiler have been safe areas. People don't want that crime and dirt there.

Yep...but the state and/or banks will snatch up the real estate before you can blink. They want people homeless for control.
And taxes will aways be high in ca
No way. First property tax is basically 0 for properties there. Lots of people just buy million dollar homes to sit empty. We have printed too much money so everyone is flush with cash. When they eventually clean it up, the properties will appreciate. Even if they don't, feds will bail them out.

great video. i read about the proposal to move homeless citizens to beach parking lots. this helps to show how unrealistic the proposal is. no easy answers. thanks!
The peeps at Malibu will never tolerate tiny homes in the Will Rogers park, no way. It is so nice to see the beaches that are clean and looking like normal. Poor Venice beach, it looks worse. Thank you for your videos, I love your channel!
Sadly, it's TRUE. Nobody,wants these poor souls,and yes not all are wanting to be out there,different circumstances. But some do, cause they don't want responsibility or obligations to a conventional life. That's what a homeless, guy told me who fathered 2 kids,with a relative. His dad and brother live,same life. They steal grocery carts of food,right out the store. Or dumpster dive, break into cars,and steal from other stores.
I agree it's not going to happen.

You have my vote for best comment on this video. Enjoy your day and ignore the trolls. It's a beautiful moment for you. Thanks for sharing. You made my day as well.
Doesn't sound like your day was made in a good way. Knowing that a loved one is "alive" is just enough to break your heart when seeing the life choice of destruction with drugs.
Super videos, vielen Dank ! Vor Corona kam ich 2-3 mal geschäftlich nach LA und habe immer auch Venice beach besucht. Jetzt geht das ja leider nicht mehr , aber da sind die Videos ein schöner, wenn auch trauriger Ersatz.
Yeah I was gonna say I work full time and scrape by every month. I'd love it if they handed me a tiny house with AC and heat. Must be nice.
Just quit your job buy a tent and camp on the beach!
why house them on our beaches when there's so much more land out in the Mojave past Lancaster / Palmdale?
There were rumors that the county tried doing that in 1984 when the Olympics came to LA but it was considered inhumane to ship all the homeless to the desert.
@@martymartian9820 um we kinda don’t want anymore ppl here anyway so Um cool

What happends if there is a tsunami they are right there they should not be on the beach I agree
And where the cost of living is so high for the ones who want to get out of homelessness. This is not a long term solution.
I want a free house on the beach that sounds great

Doesn’t look that bad actually! I never had air conditioning or heat in my crappy $1200 studio down the street!
This is an all inclusive resort! Food, WiFi, and I don’t have to work to live? California beach life would be amazing cause everything would be free!
To be in a housing that’s city-sponsored, you have to abide by some rules like taking care of your mental health issues or going to appointments to get public aid. There’s also curfew hours you need to follow, so yeah, it’s not easy but ultimately it’s an individual decision. Super how you squeezed in a Michael Jackson trivia!
I was in Venice Beach 22 years ago. Wow has it changed! 😳 So sad. 😥
My favorite part running in slow motion I was actually laughing out loud thank you so much for making my day and keeping me up on things that are going on a Venice Beach
In my country the homeless would actually get decent housing instead of tiny toy cottages. But rehab and time in mental institutions would be mandatory, if the city deems you danger to yourself or others around you, all they need is consent from your family and they will drag you to rehabilitation centers by force if they have to. Same if you get caught using drugs, police won't throw you to jail, police will throw you to mandatory rehab instead. Homeless and people with serious problems are free to commit themselves too.
I love it!! What country ru from?
@@out2fun Finland. In the nordic region.
That is a really great program to fix the issue. Would never work here in the U.S. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as per the Declaration of Independence. Oddly enough, the document does not say the government is supposed to enable your life choices. Plenty of bleeding hearts in CA who want to take more of your money (taxes) to help their pet social program. Don't even think of making the homeless work for their room and board because the same bleeding hearts would accuse you of wanting to make slavery legal.
Look at all these great spaces to set up my tent, this video is awesome , thanks man 👍😎
THANKS, YOUR UP BEAT ATTITUDE IS THE BEST. SUBSCRIBED AND LIKED AND SHARED
I want a tiny house on the beach for free. I better get to L.A. and pitch my tent ASAP!!! I'm on my way!!
You want to live like that? Good luck.
And hey, the city has said they will provide 3 meals a day, you can't beat it. Live on the beach and get high all day, wait for your meals to be delivered. No rent, mortgage, utility bill, don't have to work. Just wake up on the beach everyday.

Alaska? 🤔
Thank you so much for your documentaries ...My heart is in Venice ! And you take me there and there and everywhere ! Blessings !
This was the best touring guide of all time!!!
Sad part is most homeless dont want to follow the rules and regulations. But they need to find a new area to allow them to set up camps . I feel bad for most. But they are ruining the lively hood of the businesses where they set up camps and it is also making the property values of the homes drop.

THANK YOU German for keeping us in the loop with what is going on in your city, you are the most trusted source of news I turn to when I want to know what is really going on, Keep up the great work. I hope to visit your city soon.
Thank you so much for your videos!
When I heard they wanted to build a homeless area in Pacific Palisades, I legitimately started chuckling. Good luck with that.
Right. That’ll never happen.
I heard about that 🥺
Hi Mike, you are such a hoot! It was hard to spot the difference between you and Pamela 😎 Thank you for giving us these updates, stay safe out there and greetings from Hessen x.
German In Venice is truly awesome!

Venice used to be soo nice.
I don't feel like getting stabbed so I avoid it nowadays 😕
I went to Venice Beach years ago it was a nice area then now I wouldn’t sit 10 feet near that place
Meth makes people do strange things. This is the issue, the other 2 drugs are not so bad and usually from plants, meth completely destroys people common sense entirely.
It is still your park just because they sleep and piss there does not give them squatters rights. Many most are not from the places they crash

$8000 tiny house ?
Hipsters be like "write that down, write that down !"
I am so glad they are cleaning the area it’s so sad when we went there a few months ago and there was just nothing but trash people just get more and more trash and it just made it so trashy so I am so happy they are cleaning it
If you want what you've never had, you must do what you've never done. Who else saw it?
Pretty ironic sign in the midst of people who do absolutely nothing.
@@spazzman90 try being homeless, living in the street for a couple yrs and then come back and tell me how you did nothing for those 2 yrs. 2 weeks,2 mos...I am not saying there are not some deadbeats amongst the homeless, all I am saying is it is obvious you have no idea what you are saying. Over 33% of the country is facing eviction or foreclosure right now. Many of your local business owners will be homeless very soon. Not because of an imaginary unsubstantiated virus ( that we are told travels through the air and resides on surfaces) but because of restrictions. It is a lot of work being homeless. The simplest things demand a great deal of effort. It (the plandemic) is all about The Corporate takeover of the world. Not about caring for people’s health at all.

@@oNeGiAnTLiE : I know the reality of what being very poor is, and not having enough money for rent. Or a mortgage for that matter.
But you must know, what a Hydra this is. It's not just a matter of not having somewhere to live.
The institutional infrastructure, to treat those with mental illness and addictions, is no longer there. This state allowed the population to grow, without limiting who comes, goes or stays. Whether from another state or COUNTRY, without accounting for if they are dysfunctional and simply moved or got moved to CA.
People that overestimate their value, and then can't be trusted in whatever living situation they are in, will find themselves in this situation too.
ALL of us, are responsible for that extremely important factor: being trustworthy.
And it takes time to earn it.
Which, if being on the sidewalk is an urgent matter, then deciding which rules you'll follow or won't will be the difference too.
LA is an overcrowded city. And constant competition for ever dwindling resources is also a part of it.
And this state just can't say no.
I can think of at least a million people that deserve to be drop kicked out of here. Including some of the state and local office holders!
@@oNeGiAnTLiE I don't need to try being homeless, just like I don't need to try crack or jumping off a bridge to know it's not for me. My entire life has been lived quite minimally and within my means. Even if I was homeless, I wouldn't just be lying there. My area would be clean and welcoming. I also speak to homeless people regularly, you should too. They mostly want to just go on doing what they are doing and be left alone. They definitely don't want to fit into some preconceived notion that everyone should be in a house and working a job. I'm ok with that, it's America after all.
I love when someone recognizes you! One day I’ll see you and say “Hey German in Venice!”
You did a great job on this and all your videos on the homeless. Love the Lime Green shoes!
Damn I want a beach property for free....must be nice.
No it's not nice... it's a hard life to live in a tent on public lands and not have a job. It totally sucks! Thank your lucky stars you're not in that situation. And don't be condescending and smug. You don't know what its like.
@@vidhan147 I'm not your "bro" and if you love drugs that's sad. Life is more than an artificial high. Dude.
Excellent video. Catering to the homeless only will invite more homeless.
Yes, very true.
Thank you kindly German in Venice Beach for this video tour. Love the history you include ...i cant believe it either! I live in Missouri so keep up the good work you are producing for us. Swing that finger when you talk...cant get enough.
Your video of the rat running around in broad daylight among the squalor was really powerful. I'd bet more than one decision maker and LA citizen watched and decided to take action. Good job enacting change.
That jog along the sunset in slow mo @ the end of the vid.

Holy crap, they had a nice little gym set up on the beach. Maybe being homeless in Venice isn't so bad after all.
That gym has always been there.. that's why it's called "Muscle Beach"
where else can you live right on the beach that cheap?
@@ladyluck2607 and get meals delivered to you.
A gym and a kitchen too
LA’s trying to prepare for the summer vacation rush. Question is, will people with money to spend actually want to hang out in recently cleaned shitholes where half the businesses are closed?
Your correct in saying the homeless do not want 'temp' tiny houses. They deserve the respect and freedom of camping out (with their own belongings) in a safe location....close to shops. Isolating them out of town won't work. FYI...love the flash back pictures of Michael Jackson and Bay Watch! TOO COOL!
California will not learn that the more benefits they offer, the more bears they will have to take care of and feed. Guaranteed that the population of homeless in California will continue to skyrocket.
What is interesting is the homes value in Venice averages $4 million.
Time to drop the hammer on these folks....we have enabled this environment. Time for a Renaissance Period in Southern California!
Not all homeless people are the same you have good clean entire families out there now.. not all of them are drug heads or alcoholics.. some of them are severely mentally ill.. and need to be in a hospital.. seeing elderly people on the streets.. that really pisses me off.. they don't deserve that they need to spend the rest of their years in a soft warm bed not a hard sidewalk.. or seeing military people on the sidewalks homeless.. they fought for our country they don't deserve to be homeless..
You don't get what you expect, you get what you accept. If people stopped enabling them they would go away.

There are many programs and assistance for families and veterans, no need to live on the street
Stop feeding the pigeons
No money in fixing the problem. It will only get worse so they can tax you more.
Thanks, German in Venice.
I'm glad I got to see the beginning of. Clean up instead of garbage. Who wants to live in and smell garbage all day?
Why are they so intent on kissing their butt and giving them such a prime location. Theres woods everywhere.
Still voting for Kansas.
Exactly, they should be sending these people out to 29 palms .
They should get sent out into the desert. Why keep them in public places when they don't abide by the rules. Its not safe for the people who know how to respect and share public places.
Those beaches probably have needles in the sand. What if they have aids. They need to close and do a thorough cleaning.
Slab city would be the perfect spot.
Exactly! Find them nice abandoned Kmart parking lot in the burbs. No need to scuzz up another coastal area where people might actually want to spend money.
The very first thing I noticed was that it is a very desolate location. In Venice Beach, they only have to go a short distance to shop for necessities whereas this is out in the middle of nowhere and they have access to very little if anything at all.
Services and handouts will not be available for sure but the small businesses will still suffer.
Well, free Wi-Fi, heating, ac and 3 meals a day. You really don't need that much more and they have a whole day to get themselves some hygiene products. I think that is reasonable...
They get to live on the beach, you silly fool. Plus food and free WiFi.
I agree. They might get three hots and a cot, but they wont be around any action. Let government try to fix the problem....they do such a good job with everything else.
Can't wait for the rest of America to look like this... Thanks Nancy!
Thank you for documenting the plight of the homeless in such a compassionate way.✨💖✨
Hello ninja how are you?
they don't want to work...its that simple....no one does, but common sense knows that someone has too. These people are just milking us productive citizens
Heartbreaking. I have been coming to Venice since the 90s. It was the first beach I took my daughter to. My heart goes out to the people living there now.
My teen daughter wants to go the skatepark there. Not happening!!
@@dontamba4919 sir I actually HAVE helped and donated. I dont have to brag about the things I have done here.

I used to live in Venice Beach, half a block from the beach, in 1994. Wow, how things have changed. Thanks for the vids!! :)
Finally the parks are going back to what they were before, for families and leisure and not being a cesspool of filth for a crowd of homeless with little regards for anything other than their immediate needs.
