Thank you for being the warrior that you are so that these peoples voices and needs are heard.The more people like you there are someday things will get better in this country.
Colorado has the right idea. They just signed bills into law creating campuses for the homeless in Colorado. Where they can receive housing, mental health services and job training. This is how we help the homeless, not these ridiculous sweeps.
They did that in Denver and didn't last, they let them use the park for a camp site, a homeless man told me about it but as soon as they became a problem and the money ran out they were forced out. Hopefully it doesn't happen this time. I'm borderline homeless myself, we'll, I sometimes feel like it but I know how it feels to sleep with the bugs, no ac, no heat etc.. can't come and go as you see fit. Hope it gets better, somehow for all of them!

Photograph your things and upload the images to the cloud. Do an administrative claim against the city and when they refuse take them to small claims court. I settled for just under $10k with the City of San Francisco.
Most homeless people are sober. Most drug users are in housing. If you look at communities like West Virginia that has high drug use but affordable housing, there’s not a large homeless population, yet in communities with lower drug addiction and higher rents, there is more homelessness. We have always had addiction and mental health challenges, yet only the last few years has homelessness is exploded. Why? THE COST OF RENT KEEPS GOING UP!
It’s so incredibly sad and heartless to think that the most important thing is for the streets to be ‘clean’, and not to even give a flying f about the human beings that are just trying to live

Thank you Mark for another eye opening video. 🙏♥️🙏♥️🌻

When you have a tent that is blocking the entire sidewalk, it has to be taken down. You can have sympathy for the homeless, but there is no reason for them to take up so much public space that it becomes an inconvenience for everyone else.
As far as I know Mark you're the only person on the planet who is trying to make a difference through Invisible People!! Why doesn't the US/President see what's going on, if a guy sat in the UK can see it, surely it's obvious?😱
I’m usually right with you man as I was homeless. They need to clean those streets though, their is tons of shit and piss, if they didn’t clean it , it would stack up like crazy. Some of them are clean yes but most are shitting on the sidewalks still .
The problem is without access to toilets where do people go use the rest room? Many other countries have public toilets all around the cities especially in Asia. It can be really difficult finding a restroom just for the avarage traveller. This is just my observation.
Wow three really for the countess amount of people we allow living on the street? Do u understand what the difference is having your own restroom and using one on the street. These people need a home some where to sleep. We spend tax payer money to move them but not to house them.
Okay but the streets have to get clean. Thats like saying why brush your teeth if they get dirty again. Ofcourse the street will get dirty again from homeless. But w no sanitation it wld b a nightmare.
we don’t need sweeps, we need services… If they offered people who are homeless services, most of them would be more than happy to accept them. Fix the problem, don’t just sweep it under the rug
@@Acypha ACtually, if you watch many of the INvisible People videos, you’ll see that few services are offered and when they are, they are taken (like the project getting homeless people into hotels). Shelters are not an option for many people…if I were homeless tomorrow, I wouldn’t go into a shelter. I was verbally and physically assaulted in shelters. I’d prefer to be in a tent in the woods where people would let me deal with my misery and try to get off my feet. I was homless for a year. In Chicago, I saw one social worker in six months and that was because I was so sick with pneumonia that I couldn’t even get to the port-a-potty and the camp leader begged them to help me so I wouldn’t die. It wasn’t until I was homeless in Vegas for several months that I got help thanks to Crossroads of Southern Nevada. They are a substance abuse program,s othey didn’t have to help me since I have no substance abuse, but they took me in and treated me with kindness until they could get me intoa programmore approrpiate to my needs as someone with PTSD. Thank you to Rise and Thrive, a program by CHIPS in Las Vegas, for all they did. They are amazing people…they even called me a year later for my birthday just to let me know they still thought of me. If services had been offered sooner, I would have taken them in a heartbeat. I was refused services repeatedly because of my disabilities, told I was an insuranceliabilitya and the few times I got shelter, I was verbally assaulted by a staff member and physically sassaulted by a resident who had a screw loose. So you can’t tell me they are offering services no one wants. Very few homeless people want to be homeless. I won’t say none of them do…there are a few odd balls out there, I suppose. Butmost people want to get their lives back on track if someone would just help them.
Thank you Invisible People UA-cam Channel for making these educational videos to make more and more people aware of the reality of how the system is failing. There is a very incorrect perspective on these issues (stigma) and your channel is helping break the stigma. I'm very glad you're making these videos.
Yes - kick em when they're down. What a waste! Throwing out how much clothing, bedding, etc. & it all needs to be replaced, then they come around and throw everything out again, and on and on!! Ridiculous!
When you're homeless you're in a permanent fog of EXHAUSTION, grief, fear, hopelessness. People see homelees sitting and think "lazy" when THEY CAN'T SLEEP ANYWHERE, being tired beyond the understanding of people indoors. The ENERGY a homeless person needs to create inside themself out of NOWHERE is like nuclear fission in order to acquire a tent and bedding and some things and survive in the rough. Taking those things from a homeless person is like taking a life raft from a drowning person who was thrown out of his boat, because it's against the law to be in the water
@@cookiecazares6352 I went homeless because I can't pay my bills off SSI. I'm indoors right now but precarious. I have been waiting for Section 8. I waited forever to get my SSI even though I have profound physical disabilities. Homeless is more exhausting than anything of my life. I at least got my SSI before I went homeless last time... I can't imagine going homeless without any income or job dependent income. It's estimated 40% of US homeless have disabilties. A lot have profound mental health disabilties. Most have no income; they have no way to do mental health counseling. Taking their things from them is evil. America is wasting an obscene amount of land on 200 year old cemeteries of 1800s elites that could be allocated to citizens in parcel acreage like farmers. We literally treat dead rich people better than the living
There's this guy that a whole bunch of people follow, and worship - quite a huge following actually, and he said something along the lines of "we'd be judged by how we treat the least among us"... something like that. Anyway with all of that guy's followers that name drop their guy every chance they get (when it serves THEM), you'd think they'd have resolved this homelessness issue a long time ago. Kudos to those (believers & non) that practice what they preach.
Trash, needles, urine, mice, discarded food, it all has to be cleaned up. Why should they have to live in all that filth. Someone has to clean it up. If the sanitation workers don't, who will?
Housing first is the only realistic way forward. As someone who flirted with homelessness during the pandemic I have felt the pain of moving day. That's when your friends who let you couch surf tell you you have to find another couch. It's try to make arrangements (hotel, staying at other friends places, stay at your employer's place, sleep in a shed in the back yard or in your car) pack the car and leave. Then get settled feel a tiny bit safe but it's only for a few days then it's the same cycle again. I was only out there for 9 months and it was hell. And I wasn't even on the street. I was always somewhere safe from cops and those who might hurt me.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Housing First is an ABONINATION! I live all it does is give silver platter service to addicts and criminals. The idea of HOUSING FIRST should be abolished They get housing and welfare with no responsibility to get off whatever their addicted to or get into employment. While the rest of us have to work to support them!
Adjusted for population Homolulu has the most homeless of any major city. Sadly, this is the practice out here in the Aloha State. Send the dump truck and leave the people with only what they have on them.
I do Loss Prevention and I've seen good homeless individuals (for lack of better). the one's that come into my store are the ones addicted to substance abuse, or greed. Some, just want a fresh pair of underwear but those are usually the tough violent ones that make a bad situation worse. For the good ones I really do hope things get better for them, sometimes I buy a single one coffee and breakfast and they do weird stuff like poor the coffee out or throw away the sandwich 😆 So I don't know. I'm guessing the rest of the world are at a loss as well considering it's getting worse. Sadly. God bless tho 🙌

The thing now is you can't do anything to these scum if they are stealing. For some reason unknown to me the government let's these low lives get away with ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Stealing assault deficating urinating shooting up . All in broad day light. I saw on of these scum literally taking a TV out of target and nothing was done. I live in Australia and while l think are laws are far from tough enough. I pray we NEVER get to this. How very unfair to the decent people working and paying their taxes!
I know a lady who have organization which claim to help homeless, drug addicted people. But on the name of organization she get big donations from govt, churches, big companies, charity funds etc but most of the money goes to her personal accounts. Every time I see her she’s wearing designers stuff and she make sure she expose big time so just to show off she match her shoes, shirt, bags, jewelry like Gucci shirts, hand bags, Gucci slippers.
OMG! They have to EARN the housing noway should they be given it on a silver platter! Why should they get free housing and welfare becyse they are junkies or alcoholics. Or have a criminal history. The should be forced into work programs then rehab. And then if they don't do those things they should be kicked out. But just giving them something fir nothing ABSOLUTELY NOT!
In California I remember when you could survive on $800 social security, but more and more people come in and more competition for rent and everyone else.

We know there is a solution - people could be housed. The question becomes, what can we COLLECTIVELY DO to change these actions? It's wrong and the city officials need to be accountable! 6:45 is right on
Cannot stand anyone who doesn’t understand the severe mental illness that plagues the homeless community. They are suffering and dying out there and all the cops care about are moving them away from those with homes. People in this world need truckloads more compassion and empathy

We live in New England and homelessness is on the rise .. The main reason is because of lack of housing availability,and rents being hiked 40 to 70 % by investment company landlords who are buying up a large percentage of the rental properties .. It's simply insane. We are going to have a $ 700 a month raise in rent in August.. We ultimately don't know if we'll be able to handle it? My wife and I are in our late fifties and both have full-time jobs,and the hourly pay rate is really not enough to keep up with the cost of everything going through the roof.. My heart truly goes out to the homeless everywhere, and those on the verge of potentially finding themselves in some form of a homeless situation .. Heartfelt Peace and Hope to All 🙏✌️❤️
I've been homeless myself. With three children! But I still never expected anybody to do everything for me. After we lost our home in a fire it took us a year to get back up on our feet. We lived in a homeless shelter for two and a half months. And it was horrible of course it was full of drug addicts, imagine having to put your children in that environment after protecting them from that environment as much as you could before you're forced to go into one of these places. We got very little help other than a roof over our head anything that transpired after the roof over our head came straight from me nobody brought me anything nobody even gave me a direction to go. Why are all these people expecting handouts and someone to bring them resources and water why aren't they out trying to find some type of employment and a way to help themselves. If they can't afford to live in LA in their homeless already why don't they move to a location in the country that's a lot less expensive to live? Lots of questions about homelessness here, but the underlying cause of homelessness is not a community's inability to take care of others who are not willing to do it for themselves.
Prices are going up all over and some people just don't have the common sense and resourcefulness that others have. We can't judge people who are in trouble. It is good you were able to find a way out.
@@Babu-kr3cr it has been 17 years since we went through that. After being in the homeless shelter I met some people that really did change my life. There were several people within that homeless group that were highly educated. A couple of them even had masters degrees. There was one lady we called her master's Mary because she did have a master's degree and lived out of a shopping cart. They are highly educated people and a lot of them do have common sense. The common denominator amongst the majority of them is that they have just given up on life. Which breaks my heart and to this day I still work at the mission trying to help others who have given up.
Housing first makes sense. Even if it turns out to be less cost effective (not sure), it is the right thing to do from a moral perspective. That leads to my view on most situations: if one metric is a toss up as to which method is better in terms of it, then you use another metric. I personally feel democrats have the economics on our side, but even if that is a toss up, we dominate another metric: we have the moral high ground.
Homeless people on the brink of death by exhaustion will go to the emergency room to get a bed for the night. There was a cost analysis based on this where it is exponentially less expensive to provide housing for the homeless than the system in place now. Americans would rather spitefully throw their money away or have it stolen from them by rich people rather than help people who "don't deserve it."
@@MPHswayze Yes l am VERY proudly in that category. The VAST majority of us have to get up and go to work in the morning usually 5 day away for about 40 years. I don't want addicts alcoholics or people who have a criminal record getting every thing handed to them on a silver platter. The Housing First program doesn't even force them to work or get off whatever ever they are addicted to. Which l find ABSOLUTELY APPAULING!!!
The real issue is that homes/apartments are used as assets, instead of ...housing. We need to put stricter rules on using housing as a means to get richer. If you are buying out properties and leaving them empty, you should get HEAVILY taxed or FORCED to sell after a certain period. We have used eminent domain laws for awful things in the past. It's time we yield it for something good.
Are there shelters he could go to? I know most of the homeless in my area don’t want to go to shelters because they have to be sober. It’s hard because you want to help but when the homeless mug and harass people in that area what are the police supposed to do? You want to help them but at what cost? Should the safety of others be sacrificed? It’s really hard.
It's not being sober that's the problem, it's the stealing, horrible conditions, lack of room and hygiene. It's nearly better to be on the streets or in a car then in a shelter.
To be fair, if they don't clean those places regularly, you end up with rat infestations and piles of festering garbage. Yeah, I'm sure it's a hassle to have to move your stuff all the time, but just leaving the garbage there to pile up isn't an option.
What home? Sorry no disrespect towards officers in general but when you pay taxes all your life, just like the officer and illness finds you. You will quickly find out how merciful all these people are just by their actions. No we can't help you and no you can't stay so just go somewhere where we don't have to see you. Officers many of which suffer from PTSD, I worry more for them because unless you have long term mental illness coverage you will find very little help.
I gotta say there really isn't an excuse for homeless people sitting around doing drugs or nothing ..I'm in the verge of homelessness in Idaho and I have 3 or 4 side hustles that help me stay afloat in my car. These people could be at least doing something to earn a few bucks here and there. Collect cans and scrap metal for starters ?
You’re right. They should be in housing sitting around doing drugs just like most addicts. I’m sorry you are living in your car but your comment is judgmental and ignorant. The leading cause of homelessness is the lack of affordable housing
@@InvisiblePeople homelessness isn't a reason to be shoving shit in your arms or smoking shit . I have Been homeless and been an addict . If you can afford to continue your fix you can afford a hotel room almost every night I'm not gonna say it's not an issue or homelessness shouldn't be criminalized but don't pretend like all people that are homeless are incapable of doing a side hustle or trying at something instead of finding that next sac . It's been done before .
They do the same thing in Victoria BC. Instead of helping they just keep raising rent and taxes, they raised parking at the university +50% employees can't even afford to park. Government greed is disgusting.
Here is an idea of what the city can do to at least allow anyone to sleep under a roof: Junk Cars. Get old cars that still have functioning doors, take out all the seats, put in a mattress and move them to designated areas - certain streets, etc. And as long as each "resident" keeps the area clean, they can stay there and have a safe place to sleep. No rats, no sudden attacks, just a peaceful sleep under a roof. Now, obviously this is not a solution to homelessness, but will go a long way for many who do not want to sleep with rats. And their belongings can be stored in the trunk of the car, safe from thieves or sweeps.
I have been homeless since 2007. 1( 85 liter backpack ), 1( one person sleeping bag ). NOT, A SHOPPING CART OVERFILLED WITH CRAP ! Also, i set up after 9pm and clear out by 8am. And when you do move on that next morning, CLEAN YOUR SPACE ! STOP GIVING THEM THE EXCUSE TO VICTIMIZE YOU ! WAKE UP !
Can you see how living in survival mode will ruin you. Why don't these people pack up their tent , clothes, and tools. And stop mixing their things and their trash all together.
EVERY BIG COMPANY, WHICH NOT PAY RIGHT TAXES IN THEIR OWN CONTRIES - SHOULD GIVE/BUY A PIECE OF LAND... AND BUILD SMALL SMALL HOUSES TO EACH OF THE HOMELESS. Bed, trinette kitchen, shower/lou room etc.
The streets have to be cleaned, especially after the hoarder homeless squat for any length of time. It’s disgusting to see the mess that gets built up in a short period of time. If the people there would clean the area and not accumulate so much crap their wouldn’t be such a push to get them out of there. It works both ways. Housing is unaffordable, so what do we do? Maybe stop investment companies from buying up all the real estate, then turn it in to a cash cow instead of an affordable home. How do you do that?
honestly can't have so much stuff..the piles & tent areas are huge in some places. the mess does not help. the garbage, the waste. rehab is needed, support for mental health. better shelter systems. better group housing perhaps with compatability of people. Soup kitchens. There is money being made on the poor people by higher ups, government & agencies
It's so horrible that these people are left to live on the streets. They should be gathered up and humanely put to sleep. What does it say about our society when we treat animals better than these people?
and those stowaways they flew over here from Afghanistan. Name the last time you've seen ANY Afghan person at the bus stop, walking or working. THEY DON'T because they get everything free!
What a nightmare to go through. LA could easily do so much better.

As a taxpayer I would like to see other services added to housing such as rehab and mental health help, so they stay off of the streets.
This breaks my heart!

You have a weak heart. This whole video is grown men
Mine too, but it should break everyone’s heart. The saddest part, is it doesn’t. People think all homeless are drug addicts, alcoholics, or just lazy.
Photograph your things and upload the images to the cloud. Do an administrative claim against the city and when they refuse take them to small claims court. I settled for just under $10k with the City of San Francisco.
Smart guy Toro, guess you made it into housing on your own!! Maybe you could teach others how to do it?
Some homeless don't have phones
@@love.JESUS.2day it's about $12k-$15k to move into a 1 bedroom here in SF
Homeless is a way of life that comes with drug and alcohol use. I know cause I lived that way for 40 years and decided by choice to clean up my act.
Most homeless people are sober. Most drug users are in housing. If you look at communities like West Virginia that has high drug use but affordable housing, there’s not a large homeless population, yet in communities with lower drug addiction and higher rents, there is more homelessness.
We have always had addiction and mental health challenges, yet only the last few years has homelessness is exploded. Why? THE COST OF RENT KEEPS GOING UP!
All citizens deserve to be housed. Not in tents. Not on the street. Housed. Period.
go set your tent up on gavin newsoms street. youll have a house in a week.
Mitch Ferrell doesn’t care about anyone.
It’s so incredibly sad and heartless to think that the most important thing is for the streets to be ‘clean’, and not to even give a flying f about the human beings that are just trying to live
the word sweep implies that homeless people are dirt. Sweep is newspeak for anti-homeless pogrom.

When you have a tent that is blocking the entire sidewalk, it has to be taken down. You can have sympathy for the homeless, but there is no reason for them to take up so much public space that it becomes an inconvenience for everyone else.
May God bless the homeless people with shelter 🙏🏼

As far as I know Mark you're the only person on the planet who is trying to make a difference through Invisible People!! Why doesn't the US/President see what's going on, if a guy sat in the UK can see it, surely it's obvious?😱
That's the problem, that Mark is the only one!!!
It's going to get worse as prices increase smh. Waste of money and sin and shame of America.
We need factory jobs to come back to US so that these guys can work the labor jobs and move into tiny apartments near the factories. Off the streets!
I’m usually right with you man as I was homeless. They need to clean those streets though, their is tons of shit and piss, if they didn’t clean it , it would stack up like crazy. Some of them are clean yes but most are shitting on the sidewalks still .
The problem is without access to toilets where do people go use the rest room? Many other countries have public toilets all around the cities especially in Asia. It can be really difficult finding a restroom just for the avarage traveller. This is just my observation.
@@MrJboogie04 the one guy said we have 3 different public washrooms on this block we can use my dude
Wow three really for the countess amount of people we allow living on the street? Do u understand what the difference is having your own restroom and using one on the street. These people need a home some where to sleep. We spend tax payer money to move them but not to house them.
@@MrJboogie04 Keep moving that goal post. You present a problem and get the solution yet that's not enough.
I don’t get why these Hollywood actors never help. They always talk about helping and what great people they are

and yet politicians and goverments spends bilions on wars and army
Okay but the streets have to get clean. Thats like saying why brush your teeth if they get dirty again. Ofcourse the street will get dirty again from homeless. But w no sanitation it wld b a nightmare.
Many blessings for u all
we don’t need sweeps, we need services… If they offered people who are homeless services, most of them would be more than happy to accept them. Fix the problem, don’t just sweep it under the rug
LOL like they would give them a rug
Services are offered. These people don’t want them.
@@Acypha agreed. There's more than enough resources and opportunities. They want government hand outs
@@Acypha ACtually, if you watch many of the INvisible People videos, you’ll see that few services are offered and when they are, they are taken (like the project getting homeless people into hotels). Shelters are not an option for many people…if I were homeless tomorrow, I wouldn’t go into a shelter. I was verbally and physically assaulted in shelters. I’d prefer to be in a tent in the woods where people would let me deal with my misery and try to get off my feet. I was homless for a year. In Chicago, I saw one social worker in six months and that was because I was so sick with pneumonia that I couldn’t even get to the port-a-potty and the camp leader begged them to help me so I wouldn’t die. It wasn’t until I was homeless in Vegas for several months that I got help thanks to Crossroads of Southern Nevada. They are a substance abuse program,s othey didn’t have to help me since I have no substance abuse, but they took me in and treated me with kindness until they could get me intoa programmore approrpiate to my needs as someone with PTSD. Thank you to Rise and Thrive, a program by CHIPS in Las Vegas, for all they did. They are amazing people…they even called me a year later for my birthday just to let me know they still thought of me. If services had been offered sooner, I would have taken them in a heartbeat. I was refused services repeatedly because of my disabilities, told I was an insuranceliabilitya and the few times I got shelter, I was verbally assaulted by a staff member and physically sassaulted by a resident who had a screw loose. So you can’t tell me they are offering services no one wants. Very few homeless people want to be homeless. I won’t say none of them do…there are a few odd balls out there, I suppose. Butmost people want to get their lives back on track if someone would just help them.
@@sarbantz not everyone on the street is a drug addict. Mini of them are not. Stop perpetuating the stereotype.
Thank you Invisible People UA-cam Channel for making these educational videos to make more and more people aware of the reality of how the system is failing. There is a very incorrect perspective on these issues (stigma) and your channel is helping break the stigma. I'm very glad you're making these videos.
Thanks!
Yes - kick em when they're down. What a waste! Throwing out how much clothing, bedding, etc. & it all needs to be replaced, then they come around and throw everything out again, and on and on!! Ridiculous!
When you're homeless you're in a permanent fog of EXHAUSTION, grief, fear, hopelessness. People see homelees sitting and think "lazy" when THEY CAN'T SLEEP ANYWHERE, being tired beyond the understanding of people indoors. The ENERGY a homeless person needs to create inside themself out of NOWHERE is like nuclear fission in order to acquire a tent and bedding and some things and survive in the rough. Taking those things from a homeless person is like taking a life raft from a drowning person who was thrown out of his boat, because it's against the law to be in the water
@@MPHswayze well said every single word.
@@cookiecazares6352 I went homeless because I can't pay my bills off SSI. I'm indoors right now but precarious. I have been waiting for Section 8. I waited forever to get my SSI even though I have profound physical disabilities. Homeless is more exhausting than anything of my life. I at least got my SSI before I went homeless last time... I can't imagine going homeless without any income or job dependent income. It's estimated 40% of US homeless have disabilties. A lot have profound mental health disabilties. Most have no income; they have no way to do mental health counseling. Taking their things from them is evil. America is wasting an obscene amount of land on 200 year old cemeteries of 1800s elites that could be allocated to citizens in parcel acreage like farmers. We literally treat dead rich people better than the living
@@MPHswayze Thank You. That's one of the Great comments, even amongst the most compassionate of people without a home comment sections.
There's this guy that a whole bunch of people follow, and worship - quite a huge following actually, and he said something along the lines of "we'd be judged by how we treat the least among us"... something like that. Anyway with all of that guy's followers that name drop their guy every chance they get (when it serves THEM), you'd think they'd have resolved this homelessness issue a long time ago. Kudos to those (believers & non) that practice what they preach.
So spot on!
SHAMEFUL, Because of their dark hearts, They Will Reap What They Sow! May God Help Those Who Are Homeless, May Real Help Come!
The Negative people here may soon end up Homeless themselves
Shareholders are the cause of the country's homeless encampments!!!🤔🤔🤔🙏✌😪
Trash, needles, urine, mice, discarded food, it all has to be cleaned up. Why should they have to live in all that filth. Someone has to clean it up. If the sanitation workers don't, who will?
They expect me too move my walker
Housing first is the only realistic way forward. As someone who flirted with homelessness during the pandemic I have felt the pain of moving day. That's when your friends who let you couch surf tell you you have to find another couch. It's try to make arrangements (hotel, staying at other friends places, stay at your employer's place, sleep in a shed in the back yard or in your car) pack the car and leave. Then get settled feel a tiny bit safe but it's only for a few days then it's the same cycle again. I was only out there for 9 months and it was hell. And I wasn't even on the street. I was always somewhere safe from cops and those who might hurt me.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Housing First is an ABONINATION! I live all it does is give silver platter service to addicts and criminals. The idea of HOUSING FIRST should be abolished They get housing and welfare with no responsibility to get off whatever their addicted to or get into employment. While the rest of us have to work to support them!
Build more shelters and low cost housing. It's a great investment
Adjusted for population Homolulu has the most homeless of any major city. Sadly, this is the practice out here in the Aloha State. Send the dump truck and leave the people with only what they have on them.
I do Loss Prevention and I've seen good homeless individuals (for lack of better). the one's that come into my store are the ones addicted to substance abuse, or greed. Some, just want a fresh pair of underwear but those are usually the tough violent ones that make a bad situation worse. For the good ones I really do hope things get better for them, sometimes I buy a single one coffee and breakfast and they do weird stuff like poor the coffee out or throw away the sandwich 😆 So I don't know. I'm guessing the rest of the world are at a loss as well considering it's getting worse. Sadly. God bless tho 🙌

Stealing assault deficating urinating shooting up . All in broad day light. I saw on of these scum literally taking a TV out of target and nothing was done. I live in Australia and while l think are laws are far from tough enough. I pray we NEVER get to this. How very unfair to the decent people working and paying their taxes!
@@sarbantz Thanks for your comment totally agree. Will definitely those interviews you mentioned!😉
I know a lady who have organization which claim to help homeless, drug addicted people.
But on the name of organization she get big donations from govt, churches, big companies, charity funds etc but most of the money goes to her personal accounts. Every time I see her she’s wearing designers stuff and she make sure she expose big time so just to show off she match her shoes, shirt, bags, jewelry like Gucci shirts, hand bags, Gucci slippers.
The tax payers money should go to house the homeless
OMG! They have to EARN the housing noway should they be given it on a silver platter! Why should they get free housing and welfare becyse they are junkies or alcoholics. Or have a criminal history. The should be forced into work programs then rehab. And then if they don't do those things they should be kicked out. But just giving them something fir nothing ABSOLUTELY NOT!
In California I remember when you could survive on $800 social security, but more and more people come in and more competition for rent and everyone else.
I grew up just down the street from there. Went to King M.S. and Marshall H.S.. back in the 90's.
Me too man but early 2000's is gotten worse now around this area

They will spend 1 million to make them suffer but not a single cent to support them
We know there is a solution - people could be housed. The question becomes, what can we COLLECTIVELY DO to change these actions?
It's wrong and the city officials need to be accountable! 6:45 is right on
Cannot stand anyone who doesn’t understand the severe mental illness that plagues the homeless community. They are suffering and dying out there and all the cops care about are moving them away from those with homes. People in this world need truckloads more compassion and empathy

People would complain less about the homeless if they cleaned up after themselves.
Most of these folks are beyond help.
We live in New England and homelessness is on the rise .. The main reason is because of lack of housing availability,and rents being hiked 40 to 70 % by investment company landlords who are buying up a large percentage of the rental properties .. It's simply insane. We are going to have a $ 700 a month raise in rent in August.. We ultimately don't know if we'll be able to handle it? My wife and I are in our late fifties and both have full-time jobs,and the hourly pay rate is really not enough to keep up with the cost of everything going through the roof.. My heart truly goes out to the homeless everywhere, and those on the verge of potentially finding themselves in some form of a homeless situation .. Heartfelt Peace and Hope to All 🙏✌️❤️
These problem is a global issue. I don't know how we are going to resolve this without hurting anybody
"Protect our elders" that's the truck they send to destroy elder homeless people's belongings.
I don't know the answers, but raising inflation and greed, drugs and alcoholism is the main problem.
Shame on the governor and city officials of LA ..
Yes tired all the mess the homeless make
The homeless need to protest get together and rampage there councils
I've been homeless myself. With three children! But I still never expected anybody to do everything for me. After we lost our home in a fire it took us a year to get back up on our feet. We lived in a homeless shelter for two and a half months. And it was horrible of course it was full of drug addicts, imagine having to put your children in that environment after protecting them from that environment as much as you could before you're forced to go into one of these places. We got very little help other than a roof over our head anything that transpired after the roof over our head came straight from me nobody brought me anything nobody even gave me a direction to go. Why are all these people expecting handouts and someone to bring them resources and water why aren't they out trying to find some type of employment and a way to help themselves. If they can't afford to live in LA in their homeless already why don't they move to a location in the country that's a lot less expensive to live? Lots of questions about homelessness here, but the underlying cause of homelessness is not a community's inability to take care of others who are not willing to do it for themselves.
Prices are going up all over and some people just don't have the common sense and resourcefulness that others have. We can't judge people who are in trouble. It is good you were able to find a way out.
Thank you for speaking some truth. I’m all for helping, but no amount will ever help someone who feels entitled to everything without working for it.
@@Babu-kr3cr it has been 17 years since we went through that. After being in the homeless shelter I met some people that really did change my life. There were several people within that homeless group that were highly educated. A couple of them even had masters degrees. There was one lady we called her master's Mary because she did have a master's degree and lived out of a shopping cart. They are highly educated people and a lot of them do have common sense. The common denominator amongst the majority of them is that they have just given up on life. Which breaks my heart and to this day I still work at the mission trying to help others who have given up.
Housing first makes sense. Even if it turns out to be less cost effective (not sure), it is the right thing to do from a moral perspective. That leads to my view on most situations: if one metric is a toss up as to which method is better in terms of it, then you use another metric. I personally feel democrats have the economics on our side, but even if that is a toss up, we dominate another metric: we have the moral high ground.
Homeless people on the brink of death by exhaustion will go to the emergency room to get a bed for the night. There was a cost analysis based on this where it is exponentially less expensive to provide housing for the homeless than the system in place now. Americans would rather spitefully throw their money away or have it stolen from them by rich people rather than help people who "don't deserve it."
@@MPHswayze Yes l am VERY proudly in that category. The VAST majority of us have to get up and go to work in the morning usually 5 day away for about 40 years. I don't want addicts alcoholics or people who have a criminal record getting every thing handed to them on a silver platter. The Housing First program doesn't even force them to work or get off whatever ever they are addicted to. Which l find ABSOLUTELY APPAULING!!!
The real issue is that homes/apartments are used as assets, instead of ...housing. We need to put stricter rules on using housing as a means to get richer. If you are buying out properties and leaving them empty, you should get HEAVILY taxed or FORCED to sell after a certain period. We have used eminent domain laws for awful things in the past. It's time we yield it for something good.
Are there shelters he could go to? I know most of the homeless in my area don’t want to go to shelters because they have to be sober. It’s hard because you want to help but when the homeless mug and harass people in that area what are the police supposed to do? You want to help them but at what cost? Should the safety of others be sacrificed? It’s really hard.
It's not being sober that's the problem, it's the stealing, horrible conditions, lack of room and hygiene. It's nearly better to be on the streets or in a car then in a shelter.
@@sarbantz Sounds like you're alittle salty.
I live on los angeles and its common to see *For Rent* signs on tents.

To be fair, if they don't clean those places regularly, you end up with rat infestations and piles of festering garbage. Yeah, I'm sure it's a hassle to have to move your stuff all the time, but just leaving the garbage there to pile up isn't an option.
Tell that officer to move his home today no notice, no mercy just move now! What a shit world.
What home? Sorry no disrespect towards officers in general but when you pay taxes all your life, just like the officer and illness finds you. You will quickly find out how merciful all these people are just by their actions. No we can't help you and no you can't stay so just go somewhere where we don't have to see you. Officers many of which suffer from PTSD, I worry more for them because unless you have long term mental illness coverage you will find very little help.

I gotta say there really isn't an excuse for homeless people sitting around doing drugs or nothing ..I'm in the verge of homelessness in Idaho and I have 3 or 4 side hustles that help me stay afloat in my car. These people could be at least doing something to earn a few bucks here and there. Collect cans and scrap metal for starters ?
You’re right. They should be in housing sitting around doing drugs just like most addicts. I’m sorry you are living in your car but your comment is judgmental and ignorant. The leading cause of homelessness is the lack of affordable housing
@@InvisiblePeople your response is ignorant you can NOT call someone ignorant to something that they are going through .
@@InvisiblePeople homelessness isn't a reason to be shoving shit in your arms or smoking shit . I have Been homeless and been an addict . If you can afford to continue your fix you can afford a hotel room almost every night I'm not gonna say it's not an issue or homelessness shouldn't be criminalized but don't pretend like all people that are homeless are incapable of doing a side hustle or trying at something instead of finding that next sac . It's been done before .
To this channel, everyone deserves a house 30 min from the beach 😅😂 what a life
finally video without 3 stupid wishes question!
They do the same thing in Victoria BC. Instead of helping they just keep raising rent and taxes, they raised parking at the university +50% employees can't even afford to park. Government greed is disgusting.
Here is an idea of what the city can do to at least allow anyone to sleep under a roof: Junk Cars. Get old cars that still have functioning doors, take out all the seats, put in a mattress and move them to designated areas - certain streets, etc. And as long as each "resident" keeps the area clean, they can stay there and have a safe place to sleep. No rats, no sudden attacks, just a peaceful sleep under a roof. Now, obviously this is not a solution to homelessness, but will go a long way for many who do not want to sleep with rats. And their belongings can be stored in the trunk of the car, safe from thieves or sweeps.
Create a tribal hut valley for the homeless. Simple.
What if..."before" setting up a tent, they made sure it was OK first.
Don't repeatedly set up in a spot they know will be removed!
Nowhere is okay.
It wouldn't matter where they moved to, the sweeps would follow them.
Imagine having to start over ten times
21st Century and homelessness still exisits. Terrible.
I have been homeless since 2007. 1( 85 liter backpack ), 1( one person sleeping bag ). NOT, A SHOPPING CART OVERFILLED WITH CRAP ! Also, i set up after 9pm and clear out by 8am. And when you do move on that next morning, CLEAN YOUR SPACE ! STOP GIVING THEM THE EXCUSE TO VICTIMIZE YOU ! WAKE UP !
Just think how many people could be helped if all that money were spent more wisely instead of wasting it this way.
Section 8 vouchers are worthless in LA. Landlords can get much more in the free market.
Can you see how living in survival mode will ruin you. Why don't these people pack up their tent , clothes, and tools. And stop mixing their things and their trash all together.
EVERY BIG COMPANY, WHICH NOT PAY RIGHT TAXES IN THEIR OWN CONTRIES - SHOULD GIVE/BUY A PIECE OF LAND... AND BUILD SMALL SMALL HOUSES TO EACH OF THE HOMELESS. Bed, trinette kitchen, shower/lou room etc.
Stand up for homeless they are family show some love for the homeless power to the homeless peace 🕊️✌️
The streets have to be cleaned, especially after the hoarder homeless squat for any length of time. It’s disgusting to see the mess that gets built up in a short period of time. If the people there would clean the area and not accumulate so much crap their wouldn’t be such a push to get them out of there. It works both ways. Housing is unaffordable, so what do we do? Maybe stop investment companies from buying up all the real estate, then turn it in to a cash cow instead of an affordable home. How do you do that?
Drug addiction sucks!!!!
Mark these homeless people need social services and mental health help
honestly can't have so much stuff..the piles & tent areas are huge in some places. the mess does not help. the garbage, the waste. rehab is needed, support for mental health. better shelter systems. better group housing perhaps with compatability of people. Soup kitchens. There is money being made on the poor people by higher ups, government & agencies
People do not have storage or trash pickup. Wanna see huge piles of trash? Well, if we don’t solve homelessness, you ain’t seen nothing yet
They don't care about us.
Good work Horvat!
