I went to Hollywood Boulevard walk of fame in the middle of the night and I could not believe my eyes how sad the situation is on Hollywood Boulevard many homeless people are sleeping on the walk of fame right next to famous people stars There were some tent encampment on the side streets there is really no glitch or glamour on Hollywood Boulevard anymore - Розваги
Hello I've been homeless in Hollywood & have eaten out of trashcans. I'm clean now & have my own place. Extremely grateful.
Did you have a job now are you stable
@Jordan Sharpe moved away from bad influence, moved someplace I could afford. Started taking care of myself. Slowly but surely & am now happier than I've ever been. Being homeless in Hollywood was extremely lonely & I balled my head off like a baby most of the time!
@@warrior9326 yes I am very stable now. Keeping my home is my number 1 priority.
@Jordan Sharpe what's your point?
@Jordan Sharpe true
Boulevard of broken dreams.
Green Day.
Walk of shame
yes very sad....... i grew up there...... the best years.... 70's & 80's...... so many great memories
I guess LA economy was first hit hard with all free music and movies on the internet middle 90s. And now with lockdown.
@@ramonalvarado9503 NOT, It's a 1933 Great Depression song that Green Day covered. Green Day sux BTW.
I used to be in a band in Hollywood back in the late 80’s. I ended up homeless for about a year but worked my way out of it. I now run a small plumbing biz and have my own little house and family.
What was the name of your band?
@@thisismyaltaccount85 Press Darlings
Bravo, Sir! Best to you in 2022 as well.
Boss!
Well done!
You asked 2 great questions, "How do we fix this? & How is it ever going to stop?" I live in Ohio. This is completely shocking to me. With all the wealth in LA, celebrities, corporations & whomever could band together and rectify the issue. NO ONE living in the USA should EVER have to sleep on a street or go hungry. Thank you for tactfully shedding light on this very harsh reality. I pray your videos can bring about change so desperately needed! Good on you!
Ohio also has a homeless problem, not as bad as LA but it's still there. And not all of them are drug addicts or mentally ill just had some really bad luck. Sad honestly:(
No One can Do this For Them ! Offer Methadone maintenance for free..and shelter. BUT the rest has to be done by the person.
@@mikemiller659 so I'm curious how does someone who is homeless get a job? Say your a hiring manager are you going to hire someone who can't shower, can't be called, and more than likely doesn't have transportation? Sure you can give them methadone and a place to stay but that isn't going to fix all their problems. You also can't force someone to hire them. Have you ever been in hiring? You make it out like they are choosing to just be homeless when 90% of the time thats not the case. How many homeless people have you actually stopped and talked to? Or listen to their story? Judging by you thinking methadone and a place to stay will fix their problems I'm going to say 0 to none
Under the eyes of God...
We need more love in this world.
No one in the whole world should ever have to sleep on a street or go hungry.
@@edvanesch178 The Salvation Army helps a lot of people.
The new America. Seeing this, I have no reason to see Hollywood. What a depressing place.
There more to la than Hollywood I visted 2 years ago with my young family and aside from Hollywood and the theme parks there is loads of interesting stuff to do
Yes always a dream growing up for kids all over the world... Now I'd rather go to kabul for 2 weeks.. At least the heroin is still heroin over there.. Afghans ain't no time for that fake fentenl crap the yanks love
True
Its all not what it used to be.....
@@Wildernessoutside I understand that. There are wonderful things to see and do in EVERY city. But as for me, I refuse to spend my hard earned dollars in cities that are so poorly run by elected officials. I choose to support states and cities that know how to spend their tax dollars wisely. And Hollywood isn't one of them. Nor the state of California.
This is a symptom of a sick and dying culture
I've travelled in some of the poorest countries in the world and you don't see this.
I totally agree,I now live in Mexico for half a year,And I don’t see this!🏝🌴🦜
Biden's America
@@gavincurtis It was already that way before biden was put in office

That's because most of these people if not all are drunks or drug addicts.
Thank you for spreading awareness and for putting a human face on the issue. It's not just the US, exact same thing is happening in all Canadian cities too. I work with priority populations in London, Ontario and for a city of less than 500,000 to have a visible homeless population of over 400 people is insane. Stores are closing, rents are rising and its just sad. The western civilization is collapsing.
the Chinese be laughing in their cages
About, 5 years ago I was homeless twice once in Virginia & then New York. I used to sleep on the ground & in shelters ( I hate the shelters so many jail people in there) it was bad. I'm a US veteran also. Thank God I'm not homeless anymore.
This is depressing. But at the same time, I appreciate that you never make fun of those unfortunates. You are a respectful man. You deserve my full respect, sir.
Yes your right!!! No matter how bad a person lks or acts or lives. You are always caring & kind. You would make an excellent journalist,advocate for the less fortunate,reporter,I could go on forever! Your a very kind man!!
It seems Hollywood movie stars do not care about the Homeless on the street more like themselves all the talk and no action. Thanks for posting!! 🙏
Yeah and Puff or Diddy has a star? For what?
Evangelina Valero ---- the film and tv stars don't live in Hollywood, and most of the film and television studios are not in Hollywood, there are some but, the "stars" mostly only care about themselves and even though they talk a good game about being woke, and how sad it is to see all the homeless, while they are doing interviews, or on talk shows, they don't want to help or even look at them on the streets. They drive right by like everyone else does. I'm guilty. I can't afford to give money to every person on every corner holding a sign.
But what I do is this. There is a busy Blvd in the neighborhood I grew up in next to LAX airport that all the limos and taxis use to get from the freeway to the airport, it's a shortcut. And the street runs through a residential section and just the backyard back side fences face the Blvd and the City rarely takes care of the overgrown trees on the sidewalks, city property not the homeowners, and the weeds and grass get very tall.
A few months ago I noticed someone had been cleaning up all the weeds and trees etc... and there were a dozen garbage bags full. And a few days later there is another small section cleared and the work was progressively moving along the mile or so length of the street. One day about a week later I saw that it was one, white guy, in his 30s or maybe 40s working his ass off and he had put up a sign that I never saw before and it said something like " I'm clearing the overgrowth the city won't do, I'm homeless please donate if you can". I drove around the block, passed the house I grew up in and came back around onto the Blvd and I pulled up, rolled down my window and told him I grew up just on the other side of the street and I see how hard you are working and the street looks so much better and thanked him for doing that work. He thanked me and said he just wanted to have the street look good because so many people drive down here going to or coming from the airport and its such a nice neighborhood, (million dollar homes) that it was a shame the city doesn't care. I had him come closer to my car and I handed him a $100.00 bill and told him I appreciate what he's doing and thanks, take this money, I know it isn't a lot but it's what I can afford right now. I'll give you more in a couple days.
He was stoked. He thanked me and said God Bless You. And he went back to work and I gave him more a couple days later.
Those are the people who deserve the help and need it. Most of the homeless in this city are lazy losers who don't want to work. Some have mental illnesses, and drug use is rampant, but even drug users can hold jobs, I know firsthand.
It's just easier to be a sidewalk camper than to get a job. And when the city doesn't enforce any laws or offers any alternative, people are going to camp for free and be criminals, or beggers, or collect cans and plastic bottles. It used to be homeless people would live for a month or two in hiding and then they would get themselves arrested for anything they can so they would get locked up for 90 or 120 days or 6 months for the free food and bed and safety of jail where its warm and dry. But cops and city lawyers and judges don't do that anymore. They want the paying customer in jail so they make a profit. The homeless cause a loss of money for the system because they aren't paying fines, or paying to go to classes after release, and paying for lawyers etc...
It's really a terrible tragedy brought on by bad government and greed of the cities and counties
And I'm sure the wealthy see All this unhealthy an just keep going. Shame
Which is ironic because most of them are constantly in the media virtual signalling to the rest of us how we should live and behave, I bet you Ellen and Oprah have stars on that boulevard.
@@Thyalwaysseek ---- of course they do.
My wife and I went there in July of 2022. We had never been and honestly we were shocked at how dirty and unpleasant it all was. We couldn't believe the academy awards are held there every year while homeless people are pissing just outside the doors. We could only stay for a couple of hours before we couldn't stand it anymore, what a horrible place.
thank you German for this great video I learned so very much from you.........
Lived in a homeless shelter for 2 years. Most people don't want to give up drugs and alcohol. I turned my life around thru hard work!
God bless you
POWER💪 TO YOU,
NEVER GIVE UP❤
Exactly!!! This is why I don’t help the homeless. I have 2 good friends I grew up with they’re now a alcoholics 1 friend pops up from time to time to ask for money or for a place to stay for a few days when people started telling him no he started sleeping in the streets, he refused to go to a shelter or a halfway home because they don’t allow drinking at the facility he rather sleep on the street and ask for change then get help. Friend number 2 comes from a rich family they told him to get into a program get clean stay clean for 6 months to a year and they’ll get him a condo and pay the rent for a year and buy him a bmw and a job at his dads law office, long story short he’s on the streets begging for change abandoned his daughter and doesn’t care about anything but getting drunk and high
People work hard to do drugs and not work. If you walked 2 miles for a dry sandwich then you worked hard.
Lots are mentally ill . The institutions That were open in the state that took care of the mentally challenged mentally ill ALL closed years ago ! therefore putting them out on the street with nowhere to live . this is a huge problem with the homeless and yes drugs and alcohol as well but not everybody is high
Definition of a movie star. : an overrated human being, making money by pretending to be someone else and expecting people to adore them.
Very true
Same definition as Politicians and MSM News Reporters! How ironic- NOT!
ITS TIME TO THINK OF ALL THESE SO CALLED ACTORS AND MUSICIANS AND ENTERTAINERS AS IRRELEVANT!!! Its 2021 STOP THE INSANITY.
@@user-yk3sn9xd7m amen.
Actually the actors who work hard dont do it to seek attention. they sort of have to do it because its just in them as deep passion. Media advertises them and gossips about them and this makes them seem narcissistic. LA if full of people who want to be actors out of narcissism but that doesnt work out so they go become social media influencers instead. You should go after the influencers. they are the talentless opinionated weirdos making everything about themselves for attentions.
Thanks for sharing this. It's sad to see this level of dysfunction and societal collapse. Something major needs to be done to restore sanity and balance.
Thank you for posting the true reality of these areas! You have given light to some of the most critical issues that many of these celebrities and online-stars seem to crop out of videos and post.
Now it's becoming the walk of shame.
The walk of shame are the people not helping.....don't kick people when they are down.
@Caleb DeCoteau libtards rather
Hard Times with what we now know about make believeland it always was walk of shame for victims of pedos. The only crime where the victims pay the cost.
@AllGuts NoGlory all baby boomers were not living large. Who started this B.S.???
Do something. Write a stinging letter to the LA Times!
"The American dream...you just have to be asleep to believe it" George Carlin.
The American Dream is a state of mind. This is the state of mind of the country due to a fraudulent government.
Evil egoism destroys all that is good.
Thank you! You have so much compassion!!! I think Your awareness is helping the homeless and clean up the beaches and surrounding areas.
God there's millions and millions of dollars right next to all this despair
It's the most mind-boggling thing I've ever seen in my life
So.....what’s your point? What would they do with it if you gave it to them?
Most are drug addicts & would spend it on getting high & destroying their bodies so it's better you give them free shelter & therapy.
You're doing God's work German in Venice.
Documenting this stark reality for the whole to see is absolutely necessary and important. Thank you!
Now my turn be. Hall game. Now. Kick punch slap in be in hall flame. Ok. O. Ok
God's work???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@naciremaclub2845 God's a into voyeurism like every other consumer watching UA-cam. He's not doing God's work but he has good intentions though and his content is humble some atleast to me. It's an outsider perspective of America in the land of Hollywood. Not sure if he became a citizen or not? Likely he did since he's been here for 30 yrs. They have homelessness in Europe, it's just no where near as bad. But the U.S. is also the world number 1 consumer of drugs!
Lmfao by filming homeless laid out on the street, critiquing the way they live? That is the furthest from God's work. Wtf is wrong with you
@@anthonylipps3102 he's American with a fake Accent & An epic asshole in real life. He is another guy in an rent controlled apartment by the beach bitching about the homeless. Yet does nothing to make lives better. We have enough footage. There is a theme in Venice for rent controlled residents harassing unsheltered. Yet not a one could afford to move here today. They need to move and STFU and let's see what they can afford without subsided housing. That is what rent control is. Yet they claim to be high and mighty wage earners and tax payers. The beach rent controlled residents are the biggest scammers in LA
As a Hollywood resident, this is a 100% accurate view. Thanks for posting. Folks that don't live here think we are making this stuff up.
This is so sad... in Paris is the same, i remember i was very early in the Champs Elysées there was a lot homless people sleeping on the street, a little bit later before all the store open ( and the tourist come ) the police have remove all the homless people and sometimes they have kick them 😔
I’m so sorry! This is sad. It’s not that people don’t believe you but the main stream media do not want this narrative put out. I live in FL and the amount of people moving here from CA and NY has to be the highest ever. I work in a field that helps ppl new to our state. Every single transplant says they can’t take living their anymore. Such beautiful cities & states being destroyed should never have happened
STFU if your not helping then
@@Group_Anonymous what are you doing for the homeless
That's what happens when evil ones take over and crowd folks into concentration camps called "cities" and make it too expensive to build houses or own their own place because inflation and taxes have reduced most ordinary people to poverty levels.
God bless you! Your compassion for these poor people is wonderful! Thank you for showing us this truth. I pray good will come because of your videos. Bless you.
That situation does seem overwhelming. There are so many people who are unable to cope in this world for many different reasons. I like how you have a good attitude, but you are exposing a major problem that exists across the country. Thanks for what you are doing.
German in Venice, I love your ability to express your inner thoughts in such a simple and meaningful way.
And the richest people of the world got even richer during C19 pandemic....
Almost like it was planned.
It's disgusting!! Where is the humanity??!! 😭😭😭
And Americans are afraid of socialism
The farther removed from Jesus we are the worst it becomes. You ever notice the first thing dictators do is tell everyone avoid Jesus?
Sure covid was made by rich people, or the lockdown was made by rich people not by politicians...
I love all of your videos German. They're all very informative I never knew Hollywood Boulevard look this way now. Thank you for all of the great videos
Thank you for sharing .....sending prayers to the homeless hope for the better for them ❤️🙏
The American dream has turned into a nightmare!
The American dream was just an illusion
California*
Anywhere else is an American dream but except for these democratic ran cities lol
Every big city near you.
You have done an incredible job of transitioning during the pandemic from a boardwalk store owner into a very entertaining and informative VLOGger. Your ability to figure out a new way to be productive when faced with such a difficult change in circumstances is what helps make America great, and it gives hope to everyone watching. Wishing you success and good health!
Great comment Jeff
I just came across you on UA-cam and I'm glad I did. I do a lot to try to help the community I live in in Maryland not too far from Baltimore City. When I see the real Hollywood through your eyes it deeply saddens me. I have much respect for you for making these videos and making people wake up and see what is really going on in the world. It's something that everyone has been ignoring for way too long and should not be going on in this day and age. If you come up with any ideas let me know I have already messaged people in office in my community and my state. More needs to be done to help homeless people and people with mental illness.
Thank you for showing this. It’s so sad, but the situation needs to be shown to the world.
Most people visualize Hollywood as some glam place..where everyone comes to get famous! 15yrs ago it was NOTHING like this. This is the unfortunate reality. People should encourage their kids to be doctors, engineers, scientist and etc. Because this is the Hollywood reality for most.
@@failedcareer6932 I agree, I was out there in the mid 80s. This blew me and anyone else I show this to.
i went to this place for traveling, LA is so scary, a lot of homeless and drug users, I felt scared even in the daytime walking on some streets. I am from China. The USA is not the perfect country people always say. And it seems that Western people are nice, but in their deep hearts, they are selfish.
I have watched literally hundreds if not thousands of videos taken of Hollywood Boulevard on UA-cam and almost all of them show no homeless presence. Clearly those vloggers were avoiding them. Hat's off to you for showing another reality.
They are everywhere there. I’m from LA but moved away. Can’t afford CA. Hollyweird has always had homeless - for several decades - sad.
@@abbylama5479 what state did you move to? And do you like it? I wanna move to Colorado but it had changed.

Bro, I was there yesterday, when it was rainy. I saw dozens of homeless in the two hours I was there! They are everywhere, trust me!!
Keep posting because you are God's eyes on the ground. Thank you German!
Watching this breaks my Heart! And at the same time blind eyes are being turned on the homeless...
What a remarkable video perfect filming, soft sound in background (music did not drown out voice) & voice over is clear and articulate... perfect video just perfect, thanks.
Great video. I want to see Hollywood before I die, the history of the town is amazing it’s too bad that there is so much unhappiness in the streets.
The picture of you with the Bruce Lee star was awesome!!
it’s crazy to think what hollywood has become from the 50’s-60’s, to what it is today
Do you know what is different? In the 50's and 60's we were a more Christ centered country. Now we reject him.

Thank you buddy for all of your videos keep your head up and don't let the homeless people get you down I just watched your video on all the homeless people being mean to you❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was truly shocked at the level of homeless in LA . 🥺
Same. I thought Seattle was bad.. it is, but LA just blew my mind watching this video. I still would like to go visit LA at some point in my life. Love from Seattle 🙏
People come from all over the nation to where it's warm. L.A. is more hospitable to the homeless than other cities.
Seattle,Portland,San Francisco, and L.A. are good to the homeless. Only in sanctuary cities.A lot of homeless belong in a mental institutions.
Cali promotes homelessness and dug abuse.
@@fedupamerican296 Cali promotes drug abuse in hopes that the homeless o.d. just my opinion.
It’s gotten really bad since the last time I was in Hollywood, that was in ‘89.
So how do you truly know the state of affairs....
Other than occasional homeless loudmouths, As long as there were crowds it is tolerable.
@@StEve-zt5pc Lisa's right. Hollywood in 89 was kinda of grimey, but not nearly as bad as today. Back in 89, you woould'nt have been sleeping on those streets, cops would've gotten you. Now, the so many, they really don't give a shit no more.
@@StEve-zt5pc what kind of ? is that?! Everyone can vividly see the state of affairs, around the whole world as a matter of fact!!
In architecture school in 83', we had a theoretical project next to Pep Boys...spent a lot of time there...and there was NOT ONE VAGRANT....EVER. So sad...
I was there around that time but the drug seen was even very bad then ! And now with the world the way it is , it’s got a hundred times worse ! Reality of it is Sad !
This is the area of Los Angeles where I have done much of my film work with the homeless and graduated from film school. Keep up the great great advocacy work, buddy! Proud of you in Texas! ;)
Very sad ! Thank you Micheal for sharing this reality of what’s in a lot of places in the world
I was homeless for 15 years I am 48 years old now and I’m grateful to God if I can clean myself up get my life back together anyone can do it You just got to get up and do it 🙏🏽
how did you get out of it? how did you get into housing? all the best to you for getting out!!
I am so happy for you.
snickerwizard there are shelters in place and community services for the homeless and help if you seek it. Most homeless don’t and most are drug addicts. They don’t reason like normal people anymore. It’s sad.
If you can't help yourself nobody can even god.
@@Kinhnamese naw man that’s just what you think. Putting my trust in God has lifted me trough very tough times. Sometimes when you can’t even help yourself, turn to God.

@@dfsdfsdsfsdfsdfs6694 I just got a bit teary thinking about when I was homeless , the one thing that I wanted was my own toilet
The dreams of some of them are to get drunk and high all day, every day, with no consequences, no job, and have free food, room, and board.
Love the video the commentary the back ground music truly hits home in your heart how sad. So many people homeless and so many rooms in hotels and mansions with no one in them only the rich can pay their way how sad

This looks to me like "the end of the world". More than sad.
And it’s heading east.....very sad. Well done GIV, well done......✌️🇺🇸
Hollywood has been this way for as long as I can remember....back to the 80’s
COVID was suppost to take care of this... it didn't quite work out.
It will get much worse if it is the end of the world Jutta. God tells us in the Bible that it will be like man has never seen or will never see again. That translates to really bad.
olivi333 ... it’s gonna get worse (S Africa strain is more severe). Homeless people sleeping in cold shuts down their sinus and lungs immune system. Double whammy, Many are gonna be dying soon. Ivermectin as a preventative could stop it but our leaders WANT this pandemic ... and they push a nefarious deadly gene therapy they parade as a vaccination.
I was born in LA in 1943. We used to cruise Hollywood boulevard in the early 1960s. Lots of police to discourage that innocent activity. I once got two tickets while driving my friend's 1960 Volkswagen. First ticket was for not having a front plate and the second ticket was for not turning my lights back on after the first ticket. Our girlfriends were with us. Look at the shambles it is today. German in Venice asks how to fix, I ask why did it happen?
Democrat politicians?
One more example of the need for reforming law enforcement.

Thanks germ man, alot of us would like to see the walk of fame and thanks to you we can see what were not missing...
I lived a block south of Hollywood Blvd. in the 80’s and often walked it late at night to get home. Occasionally, I saw a few homeless sleeping in odd places, but nothing like this. It’s painful to see. Truly hurts my heart. There are so many now, and they’re everywhere. It feels like an overwhelming issue, but it’s important to make videos like this to show the reality and size of the problem. My prayers go out to anyone who doesn’t have a bed to call their own.
In the 90's there were a lot more homeless on the east coast in the NYC area, and now they are all gone pretty much. I hear rumors that they get offered bus tickets to CA. I have never seen it look this bad anywhere.
Good ole democratic policy, they want us all like that, completely reliant on the government. Funny how they dont even try to help them with some tough love, they just let it happen perpetually. Thank God I live in Georgia
Pray more often to your Moloch, to whom you have erected a statue in Detroit, the nation of Satan.
The '80s were the golden age of Hollywood Blvd full of great underground rock bands and clubs. Those of us who were lucky enough to experience it at as adults at the time will always cherish it. No reason to go there now.
Blad Blah I get you. After watching this, I have no wish to go to L.A.
I was there 10 years ago but it wad not this bad...
If you are still exercising and training every single day that makes you my "star hero"...

Thanks for making this video, and that we can show it to people.
I hope that all these homeless people somehow will find a place.

I've walked these streets at night and have seen all of this firsthand. I'd like to believe otherwise but this decline is leading to collapse. LA, SF...California as a whole...its done. And the worst part is that this exact same scenario is everywhere across America.
So true.

@@TheBlackbelair : You are so right. This state allows all manner of law breaking. From people in the country illegally, to people who are dysfunctional, or useless...there is no place to contain them.

Thanks for sharing Mike, its both shocking and sad to see. I suppose with the pandemic and so many businesses closed has just added to the problem. Keep up the good work.👍
As some of us know, drugs and alcohol combined with bad breaks, choices and depression creates a life spiral that is almost impossible to come out of.
And most of those people are using drugs and alcohol to self medicate because of mental illness.
Easy way to get them off drugs would be to put them in prison.

My old stomping grounds. Graduated from Hollywood High in 1962. Hollywood Boulevard was glorious then. Clean, safe and adventurous. I am sad to see the side streets full of homeless people. I wish something could be done to help these people. 😢
There are no more starts in Hollywood.
Gonna hit 100K soon Mike. Congratulations. Have a super day
I lived across from the chinese theater for 3 years. It definitely changed a lot during covid. I would walk my dog down the middle of hollywood blvd around 3am and it was much cleaner and safer before covid hit. During covid they stopped power washing the walk of fame and they got hit with a massive influx of homeless. Many were not mentally stable and it became a very dangerous and dirty place. I would only walk my dog during daytime after that and I was still being followed and harassed. During covid, there was no tourists, therefore there was less money handouts as well as less food in the trash cans. The homeless began to get more bold and aggressive. Constant attacks out front and neighbors began carrying knives. Knives became very commonplace in the community. After 6 months into the pandemic and seeing how drastic things changed, I got the hell out of there. I still miss living there from time to time. A lot of great history to embrace every time you walk out your door. Great video! Thank you for showing everyone what its really been like. Keep it up.
Thanks for your insightful comment. We just visited Hollywood BLVD and Beverly Hills last week, and we were shocked by the filth and general grime of the area (Hollywood, not Beverly Hills lol). It was sadly disappointing to see how grungy it is compared to how Hollywood portrays itself. SAD to see in person.
Your Arnold impersonation made me laugh 😂! You have that down!
This is now truly the boulevard of broken dreams and shattered lives
Made me think of the song the kids are not alright.
It's been that forever. For every starlet there's a hundred prostitutes. Maybe a thousand.
I pass through here for work and I can’t believe people actually pay money to come visit this dump. I wouldn’t even step out of my car onto Hollywood Blvd.
Everything is clean during 6am to 9pm after 9pm it gets like that
@@Oneworldalexei I’ve seen people sleeping on the sidewalk in broad daylight, and that’s not even the worst of it
@@Oneworldalexei and it smells like piss everywhere
@@user-in8xx1xu5b the urine smell is embedded onto the concrete sidewalks, I hate HollyHOOD
@@JoJo-gr1rp 🤢 And yet people love going there, I like to call it HollyWEIRD
You deserve a star. Because you care enough to show what is really happening around us. You may not be a movie star, but you shine for the people who need a voice.
I have to commend u for pulling yourself out of it previous situation most people don't ,,I've been visiting Hollywood since I was five keep up the good work this reality w no end in site ,so sad stay safe
I have lived in California all my life and people come to California to search for their "dream", but this is how most of them end up. Do yourself and us a favor and go home. You can always come back to visit.
Sadly that’s not so simple. All over America, there are boring towns with nothing going on, where dreams die over time anyway. At least when they go to Hollywood, there is a glimmer of hope in making it. In Anytown USA, there is often nothing for them but drifting through life and waiting to die. It’s no way to live.
@@tybarker5038 People think California is the promised land but it isn't. California is an illusion. What we do here in California, and we do it well, is produce fantasies. Fantasies are good places to visit, but you can't live in one. The reality is with hard work you can succeed anywhere. Look at Warren Buffet, he lives in Omaha, Nebraska.
I agree. California will eat you up in very little time. We moved away many years ago but still visit family in LA every year. It’s a sad state of affairs there but it’s still home. Best advice to up and coming actors? Don’t go to Hollywood.
Tell that to people living in your shitty tents
Many of those homeless are natives too. Those from other places have nothing to go back to for the whole country has been shot out for decades
Awesome! You convinced me. I'm going to quit my job, move to Los Angeles, and be homeless. Thank you!!
lmao
Lol
Not all homeless people are the same not all of them are drug heads or alcoholics.. the corrupt politician puts the money in their own pockets..there's not enough services to get any of these people off the streets or clean. to the ones that do the drugs that drink that alcohol.. welfare is overwhelmed because they can't help all of these people either.. mental illness is a big thing.. the average rent is over $600.. I was watching a few videos this kid goes around and he does reviews for New York City apartments.. the cheapest apartment was $700.. then that thing was really weird looking.. landlords are evicting people left and right and they are still doing it..someone told me if they would have paid the rent it would have never have happened with what jobs.. all of our work is going to foreign countries and that should stop.. your job to McDonald's Burger King Subway Walmart is not going to pay the average rent Walmart just might pay the electric bill maybe it all depends where you live.. you're going to see more of this
@Rock Wilson like I said this is going to get worse .the greedy governments and politicians and governors.. put the money in their own pocket..
@@karenlee3372 what jobs?
California is the leader in agriculture. People are just F'n lazy & filled with excuses.
Trust me if you have bills to pay or you go back to jail you'll find a job if you REALLY want to work.
These people are full of excuses
Thank you brother good documentary
I use to live in L.A. from 2013-2017. I miss it there, thanks for taking me back and showing the truth out there.
A lot of the reasons why people are leaving LA it’s a complete dump
@@junkboxxxxxx but it is true?
It didn't always used to be. When you allow people to shit and sleep in their own trash heaps in front of businesses and million dollar homes it brings down the value fast.
But TexAss????
And it’s run by greedy politicians the demon-rats!
@YEET there are a million and one solutions to the problem,, but allowing homeless people, no... ENABLING homeless people in this manner, is not one of the solutions.
Hollywood boulevard look like any New Delhi street.
That was my thoughts exactly.What a dump .
Why isn't Biden doing anything he is useless
That's an insult to New Delhi 😆
Atleast in New Delhi it is crowded and full of business interactions.
@@gearzone2611 that's true.
I'm so glad to hear you say this is only getting worse
As a mother of an adult meth addict also diagnosed with schizophrenia. It breaks my heart to see all those people sleeping on the street 😕 my son was once there in Hollywood doing the same thing he's now awaiting a hospital bed from jail I know jail is not the best place but it's better than those brutal cold dirty streets and I know he's alive and eating.
My🙏 prayers go out to all the parents whose child is on the streets suffering with mental illness.
Don't know if you'll see this but I hope now in June 2022 your son 8s getting the help he needs
I used to live in Los Angeles, from the early 70’s to the late 90’a! How and when did it get this bad! It literally breaks my heart!
It's very sad.
@John Jackson Apparently drug addiction is now considered "diversity" no homeless bashing, no pedo bashing and so on towards the cause of "social equality". Like parents that do not correct bad behavior they choose to ignore it and later wonder-what happened.
I live in Hollywood during the 80's..
All stores were thriving. Clubs galore.
Clean. Buses coming were clean. NEVER SAW A HOMELESS PERSON WHEN I LIVED IN VENICE BEACH!!!!..TOURSTS PACKED UP THER FRI. SAT. SUN.
MON. The city came to clean up nice...
How devastating to see this now. Breaks my heart.
I was lucky to see it peaking.. so sad..
Drug import
Drugs and poverty and income inequality have a role in this
It’s all gruesome newsom’s fault.
“Most of the stars need to be cleaned”. Understatement of the year
Powerful words....
Great news we ca shut down our dangerous nuclear power stations n polluting coal burning power stations, n get all these "stars" on top of maintains to shine n light the world n with solar panels aour energy problems n the environment are all solved thank you STARS we have a use for you
More like walk of shame
read your comment the exact moment he said it in the video. cool moment.
I remember about 20 years ago there was a homeless man with no legs that would drag himself down Hollywood and highland and clean every star. God rest his soul
Thankyou we visited from New Zealand a few years back. Was an amazing experience to see what is really like there. I think when people think about Hollywood they think glamour and flash and movie stars. Its far from that its like any other large city around the world. We have lots of homeless in our biggest city Auckland
".....and don't stop dreaming! Your dreams can com true!" You are a blessing to the world, Mr. German in Venice! Jan.3, 2022!
america needs to take one hard look at itself.. forget the politics and concentrate on humanity.
We will when the big depression hits us.
Nancy Pelosi's top priority is impeaching President Trump for the second time - for nothing. Maybe she should concentrate on policies that help her own state a little.
totally agree but there has to come a time when you just have to start ignoring politicians and help one another, everyone needs less government not more.. have a great day :)
It is the very liberal politics of certain cities that create this problem.
can't argue with that.. and it's such a shame seeing america like this.
“German in Venice!” he yelled! You put this video together so well, and thank you for making it.
This is going to blow up your channel my friend! keep these videos coming! :D
Thank you for showing us the truth and reality of the situation
Homelessness on hollywood blvd illustrate really the fact that, it is indeed, the boulevard of " The broken dreams"
What puzzled me most, the Salvation Army station seemed to be locked and barricaded, not even them seem to care for those poor and hopeless people...
Likely they are full to capacity bldg code and would get fines if they over filled the shelter or get their license revoked , at a Salvation Army in St.Paul Minnesota it used to cost .50 cents per night it's different in various cities and states around the country in Murfreesboro TN Salvation Army was free but you had to attend church and they had day out side facilites with tables for cards and other activities .
Thank you for sharing.
I did not realize how bad it is on Hollywood Blvd…. Thank you for opening my eyes
There homeless all over there I was there it unbelievable. It real sad. The same thing in sf homeless is multiplying so fast ot becoming ti look like a third world poor country and just trash everywhere
They’re driving the price down for a huge buy-out. Shameful. Thanks for capturing this moment in time!
Watching this video and previous ones by G.I.V i conclude the same as you. As soon as the prices in the area are low enough and the real estate can be bought i suspect these people will be ruthlessly wiped away with a reversal of the laws that prevent the police from taking away the tents.
I know it seems strange but people are safer in the open, rather than hidden away out of sight... They are vulnerable and openness is their only defense.
I use to sleep on the walk of fame. i recognize alot of my old sleeping spots. i spent 2 years in a youth shelter, saved up and got my first apartment in hollywood. I miss riding my scooter all over hollywood and the walk of fame, going to in-n-out and pinks at midnight on weekends. whenever i get sad thinking about LA I see videos like this and i'm reminded why I left, it has changed alot for the worse. I live in Florida now.
I'm glad to see that you were able to get it together. Hopefully everyone else there will be able to get it together soon too.
Great work. We need to see the other side of the street , where people live who are not as priveliged as we are. Well done mate !
What an eye opener. I never imagined the fall of Hollywood to this level. This video is priceless on so many levels. This should get an award my friend. You are brilliant and very cute
.he's sayin🙏⚘✌
They're just actors they don't deserve stars on the side of the road
When i first went to Hollywood the city used to hose the sidewalk off every night so it was all clean and fresh for the next days tourists. This breaks my heart.
Thank you for showing the reverse of the medal, I call it "holy wood fiction vs reality" danke Schone meine Freund ;)
Visited my dad when he lived there in the 80s it was a gross weird place than too. I was chased by a guy who wanted to "be my friend" and a bunch of scientologists surrounded me scared the crap outa me
If you think Scientologists are scary you should try being near catholic priests!
@@SittingBearProd I grew up Roman Catholic the nuns were mean as hell!
Cheryl...I was wondering if it was like that back then too. thanks for letting us know.
@@SittingBearProd if ya think catholic priests are scary try be near a group of antifa
Scien yes 🙂😄
