This woman walks up to a man recording in a public place then demands to be asked to be recorded. You cant make this shit up dude. We live in a clownworld
1. You mean imported 2. You think there aren't Karen's like that who are native to Austin, you're sorely mistaken. Not every asshole in the city is automatically "from CA and ruining everything about Austin"
Stops to bitch at them then claims they are slowing her down to from getting her dogs back home and out of the heat when she chose to take them on a walk in the middle of the day
Yeah that's exactly what I took from this video too. The only person interviewed in the entire video that appears to be a positive contributing member to society is the one that's unhinged.
Just turn your head away and hurry past the dude witht he camera if you dont want to be filmed. Instead, she stops and confronts him, making for more filming of her
Family moved to Htown in '74. In the 80s & 90s we took the 2.5hr drive to Austin to party. I saw SRV play a 10-min guitar solo high af, skated 6th street at 14yo, and was a "roadie" for my brother's band getting into venues to party at 16yo. "We're all here, because we're not all there" describes Austin PERFECTLY. Sad that the "Austin Edge" went from the kooky and cool college town to crazy.
What a lot of people don't realize is many of the homeless in Austin are native born who have been pushed out by people moving here and jacking up the prices.
I'm born and bred Austinite, lived in or around Austin 42 years. Austin is mired by big city problems. Not the place I grew up in. Too expensive, too much big tech, California refugees, and the general vibe of a larger city like people are rude. Like the dog walking lady, that is prototypical Austin, too much money not enough sense. 😂 Great video though! 👍
I can vouch also. Austin born and bred as well, 40 years. Thankfully, the population actually declined a bit for us last year. It's a relentless cycle of California coming into a city and ruining it. They move in, drive up prices until the city turns to shit and all the locals are pushed out. Then off to the next city wherever the tech bros tell them to go. The new California hot spot is Nashville.
@@M4sterT3ch Exactly the tech people come in with their insane salaries and hyperinflate the market. I grew up in central Austin and by the time I was 20 the local burger joint was now a vegan restaurant owned by a woman in Dallas from Cali. It was the beginning of the end. I've heard that too that Nashville is the next tech hub. I hope most of the companies from Austin move there too. 😂
I’ve seen Californians complete decimate what used to be a special city over the years. Entitled phony people. Too many people from New York, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts too. Rip Austin.
I manage a business on 6th Street. Every day I feel like the protagonist in a zombie movie. I’ve seen it get worse and worse over these past 18 months. I’ve seen the CRAZIEST sh*t.
Seems the Further East you get on 6th, the worse it gets. The Further West you get on 6th, the safer and nicer it gets, seemingly. West Austin feels very safe, and is the nicest part of the city I have been in. I have only been here for about a month though.
Coming from a guy that used to be homeless. I moved here 8 years ago, stayed at Salvation army, and worked and saved up enough to get & keep an apartment... Austin is awesome. With all of its super filthy rich and dirt poor. With all of its problems and solutions This city is far better than New Orleans and Baton Rouge where its exactly like living in a nightmare. I love Austin the only gripe I have is thats its ridiculously expensive but i have been reborn here.
Yeah well boston is far better than austin in most aspects, u could just keep the comparisons coming, that doesn't take away the fact that there are still issues, even if they are "less bad than elsewhere" doesn't mean we shouldn't care.
Hi from SD, CA👋🏻 "best thing that ever happened to me was getting arrested" TRUTH! I got arrested because of being on meth and in a psychosis. After 3 months of high power lockdown I got sentenced to probation. I was released to the streets.after relapsing probation gave me an opportunity for housing. This was the turning point of helping me to stop giving up. Because of my PO believed in me it built my confidence to stay on point and keep my government funded studio! Thank you for your work to show more than just a problem but rather bringing a humanity to those that struggle. Thank you for the government stepping in.❤
Thanks for another fantastic documentary....By far your reporting on this crisis is the most revealing on this epidimic going on all across America...God bless the reporting your doing!!
Been in the Austin area 1.5 years, and noticed everyone's an ahole, escecially out in traffic. A dude backed into me and broke my tail light, was an ashole about it. I barely bumped a lady's car with my truck ( no damage) and she was an ashole about it
@ yeah dude traffic is a nightmare. My commute takes like an hour with toll roads. No merging courtesy or anything it sucks. Definitely doesn’t feel like the rest of Texas
I just moved here from Houston in August. Austin was once called the “nicest city in America.” The people here in Austin are so fkn mean and self absorbed, I can’t wait to leave either. Parts of it I love, but not enough to stay.
@@phyzzx tell me about it so sad. I went to oak hill elementary right there. right in back of Boomerz. they've developed all that land all the way to sw parkway.
Damn, as a born and raised Austinite (33 years), who still does ebike delivery downtown, this really vibes with me. Shout out my boy Shorty (homie at the water fountain with the obnoxious dog lady); he's always been a chill dude and I'll always buy homie a meal or something. But yeah, we've always had this problem in Austin for my life, but it's gotten much worse as we've grown. The main thing I'll say is that I really didn't see any representation of the people who look like they literally just lost their jobs; families, people with kids, living in tents. Lots of people who look like immigrants, foreigners, it's really sad. I suspect after the recent election, it's only going to get worse for these people, and probably many others. I really, really hope for these people, but as long as those who have things refuse to help those who don't, the world will be like this.
@07:30. Female dog! If it’s so hot, why did you stop and talk!? Also, it’s 2024..You are allowed to be recorded in public. All this, ask for my permission before you record me is not a thing out in public!
If anyone is wondering about ways to help, we have a non-profit called Made to Serve to help feed these people in Austin (same ones in the video) every week!
craziest part about this doc to me is working downtown Austin, i recognize about half of the homeless in this vid just from driving past them to and from work.....
The last 14 years(since 2010) haven't been kind to Austin. I used to party two weekends each month in Austin. I now avoid it because walking through downtown means stepping over dope-zombies, human and animal waste, pollution, and leftist refugees bringing their Californian culture with them.
First trip to Austin for me was in 1961 ( Native Texan ) and over the decades occasionally went back and Austin held up fairly well until the early 2000's and Austin really started going down hill when the California invasion began and just last year , I attended a High School State Swim Final at the U.T. Swim facility , my wife and I decide to leave our Hotel and go to Dinner on foot and didn't realize we where just 2 blocks from 6th Street , it had been 30 years for me and wow , I just couldn't believe that I was on 6th Street after stepping over homeless that were acting and speaking as if they had lost their Mental Faculties , it was down right bizarre for me ! So, we finally found 2 APD Officers on Mountain Bikes and they helped us find Ruth Chris Steakhouse , we took a Uber back to the Hotel as it had became dark outside and after having a great Dinner ,just didn't want to traverse that again , although the half naked College Girls where out in droves as we went down to meet the Uber car! The first thing we witnessed getting out of the Uber is a homeless dude taking cigarette butts out of the outside ash tray and trying to get a drag out off of the damn thing, really sad what has happened to Austin, Damn shame !
6:30 holy shit that's my brother. I aint seen that man in years. He's been in and out of jail his whole life. I thought he was in prison. Turns out this man was in atx the whole time lol. When was this filmed. I'm homeless myself but work and live in my car. Gotta to holla at my bro and buy em something to eat
Bro I've been seeing homie downtown for a couple years, he's honestly one of the chiller and more reasonable homeless dudes around here. I really hope he's actually cleaning himself up like he said cuz he genuinely seems like a good dude deep down
@Kelsonian_Institute yea he's not a bad person. He wouldn't hurt anyone or be out looking for trouble. He just has a hard time ever keeping a job, or being clean. There's been a couple times where he's came and stayed with us but ended up leaving to go back to this life. I showed my 2 older cousins this video who live much closer than I do, and they are going to see if they can find him.
Austin has changed a lot over the years. It used to have a lot of character, but now it feels crowded with wealthier liberal individuals and faces issues like homelessness. The city mirrors many challenges seen in California. This happens when extreme liberal policies affect the city.
That's my Apartment Bldg. Those 3 are good folks. One is in rehab and couldn't get pain medication so she relapsed after getting hit by a car. The dude w/ the Highway Patrol taking a dirt nap has always fist bumped me. The gentleman wearing the fishing cap has always been cordial. They aren't homeless they live in my bldg.
I had a close friend I've known since high school named Liar (AKA Don Gato, Crazy Homeless Scumbag Dave, Careorist) who lived on the streets of Austin and SA for decades. He was mentally straight and kept himself and his dogs clean. He passed away not too long ago of natural causes and his dogs ended up at a shelter. I miss that dude so much.
Born and raised in Austin out the Eastside 2.1 if you know you know!, in the hood we had an area that we would call Crackhead central. A lot of them was coo, just down bad. Sum were on the st b/c that’s all they knew. You could give them a quick fix and they would come back with anything you might want or need. May the lord be with these ppl during there struggles and help them find they’re self out the situation they’re in.
That lady has no idea that literature anyone could film anyone in a public place. And for her to have the audacity to actually stop the interview so she can have her “Karen” moment is ridiculous!
Someone should really do a before and after documentary, today vs austin 2010... i think it be interesting, use old news interviews or something. I live in San Antonio, but use to go to Austin for blues in the green and 6th street... it's growing like crazy, like we are.
I moved to Austin as 20 year old with no money to the point that I slept in the truck bed of my old beat up truck for the first few months while I found a job. That was about 15 years ago now and all I can say is this city has been good to me. I live a great life here.
Man Austin has changed I'm originally from Houston. I moved from Houston to Kyle back in early 2000s and it was nothing out there. we would make trips to downtown Austin back then hardly any high-rise buildings you was able to the Capitol building from IH35. And 6th st was still fun. It ain't now
I used to be the manager of the restaurant and lounge of the Driskol Hotel on 6th and Congress back in 1988. Even back then 6th street was hopping and full of crazy drunks. I could even imagine with the incredible growth how much worse it is.
I lived in a boarding house for 17 years while working for the State of Texas in Austin, at one point I had 3 roommates from TDCJ who had murdered a total of 4 people. Cops would be at the house about once a week, ambulance at least once a month. I should write a book about the guys who lived there, it was wild as hell. I opened the front door one time and the US Marshal's were there all dressed in black with machine guns looking for a resident.
As a 4th Gen Austinite, 30 year East Austin resident and someone who works for the library, the growth of Austin is also it's downfall. This is a far different place than it was when I grew up, from when my parents grew up, my grandparents and so on. Most people here don't even see the homeless population as actual people and the people with money are turning this into the place they ran from. The level of discourse and entitlement between all parties is atrocious and Austin will never be what everyone is coming here for. East Austin was dangerous back in the day, but this is another issue altogether. Do us a favor, don't move here, there's nothing here for regular people, it's becoming a rich man's playground, isn't even family oriented like it once was.
That homeless black lady punched me twice! Was in Austin for work for 2 days. Stayed near downtown. We walked down to 6th for some food and that same lady came out of no where attacking my buddy then she b-lined for me, punched me in the chest and then my back. Took everything I had to not knock her ass out. And everytime I saw that lady she was either chasing people down, attacking someone or getting yelled at by rando. I’ve been to every major city in the US for work and Austin is by far the very worst.
I live here in Austin Texas literally for 20 years 11/16/2004 I know some of these persons and I am not homeless and I appreciate their honesties and fare warning to all i met many who had a lot a money and well life happens...just love your Lord and Savior and take care of each other in this boom town peace
I drive from Buda everyday to work in East Austin. I take riverside. Holy shit the difference from manchaca and stassney to when it becomes montopolis is nuts. Just people tweaking out on the side of the road the heb parking lot is basically a shelter.
lol I used to work with the lady with the dog she is the sweetest girl everyone in the comments acting like she is a Karen just from that one 5 second scene
I quite like living here, work at a local grocery store and never really come across rude people. I don’t know Austin of course isn’t perfect but it has been better than any other place I have lived in Texas by a country mile. This state has huge problems.
I was born and grew up in Austin. I miss my old and quaint little city. Now it's nothing like it used to be, it's so trashed and full of terrible people.
Texas needs to legalize cannabis and start using the tax revenue to fix some of the problems we have. It's ridiculous that Texas is refusing to legalize it because of politics. Texas counties would be raking in that tax money, especially in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
All the smoke shops sell it now. They call it thca but it's the same thing. They even have stronger stuff like thcjd thcp etc. You can get hask dabs carts flower edibles. Anything it's wide open now
Got injured in an accident? You could be one click away from a claim worth millions. You can start your claim now with Morgan & Morgan at www.forthepeople.com/sixseven without leaving your couch. Remember, it's free unless you win.
for the record, if you dont have to ask people to film them if they are in public.
Agreed
Not in Texas, tort reform made it capped so get injured bc of true negligence and you sos, no lawyer will even take your case. Not enough money in it.
UGHH WHY DO YOU PROMOTE THIS SHIT?! ITS ON BILLBOARDS, BUSSES, AND NOW UA-cam.
The lady being an asshole like 8 mins in and then falling is absolutely hilarious, instant Karma 🤣
She needs to call Morgan and Morgan for that accident!
Psychopathy is strong with her, shes probably a lawyer or a Ceo
Karma is a beautiful thing
Ya, a true dumb dumb….
My bet is she's from California
Dog lady is exactly what is wrong with Austin.
Yup, Californian 💯.
That dog lady was a miserable person
Californian implants
With women.. not Austin
most aren’t Tx folk, many many many west coast and from the north east. We Texans still say sir, ma’am and hold doors open.

Self centered
Yeah that's exactly what I took from this video too. The only person interviewed in the entire video that appears to be a positive contributing member to society is the one that's unhinged.

What's ur fb

Family moved to Htown in '74. In the 80s & 90s we took the 2.5hr drive to Austin to party.

The dude w/ the Highway Patrol taking a dirt nap has always fist bumped me. The gentleman wearing the fishing cap has always been cordial. They aren't homeless they live in my bldg.
Belongs in a Minneapolis vid
7:30 I hope his woman sees this video and sees how dumb she made herself look.
Born in Austin back in 73. It has changed a lot.
This is really well done. Great music selections too.
Trolled by her own dogs😂😂
Karen VS Karma
Did anybody else know that “La da Dee La da da” song was about homeless people?? I’ve only ever heard the hook, not the beginning of it.
They kept Austin wierd and now it looks like San Francisco.
The atmosphere didn't leave it just got paywalled and stepped on
You had me at "shit portals"
I had a close friend I've known since high school named Liar (AKA Don Gato, Crazy Homeless Scumbag Dave, Careorist) who lived on the streets of Austin and SA for decades. He was mentally straight and kept himself and his dogs clean. He passed away not too long ago of natural causes and his dogs ended up at a shelter. I miss that dude so much.
I moved to Austin from Houston so I could go to trucking school. As soon as I graduate I'm moving back home 😂
I mean not like Houston is that much better or different lmfao, just much worse traffic, more bullets flying around and disgusting humidity bro
Houston is a shit hole to.
11:40 Damn bro I haven't heard Atmosphere in a minute
Born and raised in Austin out the Eastside 2.1 if you know you know!, in the hood we had an area that we would call Crackhead central. A lot of them was coo, just down bad. Sum were on the st b/c that’s all they knew. You could give them a quick fix and they would come back with anything you might want or need. May the lord be with these ppl during there struggles and help them find they’re self out the situation they’re in.
Yesterday is such an insanely good song choice. Well done.
How dare you block that woman with the dogs from walking down the street. That sidewalk done bitchslapped her fine.
Can yall stop it with that freaking amazing editing 🤩
u always do the best edits with nice songs and always super chill and down to earth. respect!
aye bro this is a great video showing the real face of atx ! keep up the work brother
7:20 in another life that dude coulda been a male model his eyes are cool af
That lady falling 😂 loved that
Was in Austin recently. You can see the difference in wealth on one side of 6th street to the other.
That lady has no idea that literature anyone could film anyone in a public place. And for her to have the audacity to actually stop the interview so she can have her “Karen” moment is ridiculous!
I love this video people don’t know how austin is really like and born and raised here its so accurate
Someone should really do a before and after documentary, today vs austin 2010... i think it be interesting, use old news interviews or something. I live in San Antonio, but use to go to Austin for blues in the green and 6th street... it's growing like crazy, like we are.
I went to school in Austin and it was a beautiful time. Sad to see Austin this way.
Props for playing Atmosphere.
42 an hour ? Bro you might want to make better financial decisions if you can’t make that work
The Denver guy? Yeah, no pity if you can't make it on $42/hr
Probably turning it all into smoke. Knowhatimsayin'?
I moved to Austin as 20 year old with no money to the point that I slept in the truck bed of my old beat up truck for the first few months while I found a job. That was about 15 years ago now and all I can say is this city has been good to me. I live a great life here.
Man Austin has changed I'm originally from Houston. I moved from Houston to Kyle back in early 2000s and it was nothing out there. we would make trips to downtown Austin back then hardly any high-rise buildings you was able to the Capitol building from IH35. And 6th st was still fun. It ain't now
Love seeing a new SIXSEVEN ❤
The People's Republic of Austin.
I used to be the manager of the restaurant and lounge of the Driskol Hotel on 6th and Congress back in 1988. Even back then 6th street was hopping and full of crazy drunks. I could even imagine with the incredible growth how much worse it is.
7:35 is literally downtown people in a nutshell
I lived in a boarding house for 17 years while working for the State of Texas in Austin, at one point I had 3 roommates from TDCJ who had murdered a total of 4 people. Cops would be at the house about once a week, ambulance at least once a month. I should write a book about the guys who lived there, it was wild as hell. I opened the front door one time and the US Marshal's were there all dressed in black with machine guns looking for a resident.
As a 4th Gen Austinite, 30 year East Austin resident and someone who works for the library, the growth of Austin is also it's downfall. This is a far different place than it was when I grew up, from when my parents grew up, my grandparents and so on. Most people here don't even see the homeless population as actual people and the people with money are turning this into the place they ran from. The level of discourse and entitlement between all parties is atrocious and Austin will never be what everyone is coming here for. East Austin was dangerous back in the day, but this is another issue altogether. Do us a favor, don't move here, there's nothing here for regular people, it's becoming a rich man's playground, isn't even family oriented like it once was.
I live and work in Austin, it has changed alot, listen to the man at 11:02
That homeless black lady punched me twice! Was in Austin for work for 2 days. Stayed near downtown. We walked down to 6th for some food and that same lady came out of no where attacking my buddy then she b-lined for me, punched me in the chest and then my back. Took everything I had to not knock her ass out. And everytime I saw that lady she was either chasing people down, attacking someone or getting yelled at by rando. I’ve been to every major city in the US for work and Austin is by far the very worst.
I live here in Austin Texas literally for 20 years 11/16/2004 I know some of these persons and I am not homeless and I appreciate their honesties and fare warning to all i met many who had a lot a money and well life happens...just love your Lord and Savior and take care of each other in this boom town peace
I drive from Buda everyday to work in East Austin. I take riverside. Holy shit the difference from manchaca and stassney to when it becomes montopolis is nuts. Just people tweaking out on the side of the road the heb parking lot is basically a shelter.
wow you are extremely talented. blessings in the horizon
This is what it’s all about, thank you ❤
lol I used to work with the lady with the dog she is the sweetest girl everyone in the comments acting like she is a Karen just from that one 5 second scene
I quite like living here, work at a local grocery store and never really come across rude people. I don’t know Austin of course isn’t perfect but it has been better than any other place I have lived in Texas by a country mile. This state has huge problems.

I was born and grew up in Austin. I miss my old and quaint little city. Now it's nothing like it used to be, it's so trashed and full of terrible people.
Texas needs to legalize cannabis and start using the tax revenue to fix some of the problems we have. It's ridiculous that Texas is refusing to legalize it because of politics. Texas counties would be raking in that tax money, especially in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
All the smoke shops sell it now. They call it thca but it's the same thing. They even have stronger stuff like thcjd thcp etc. You can get hask dabs carts flower edibles. Anything it's wide open now
More drugs and drug addicts......that's exactly what our society needs, huh?
Soma for the masses
War on drugs is a multi billion failure
Why not just legalize all drugs and not tax anything?
Taxes are robbery.
