- Over the past two years of dealing with the pandemic, it introduced a host of new challenges. From loss of jobs, inflation, and one not as easily seen, vehicular homelessness. That new challenge has forced many people to call their cars home. Alicia Pattillo reports.
The difference between those living in the cars and those living in the houses is one paycheck. Do not be fooled by those who are homeless because you lose one job, somebody gets sick, or another pandemic happens and you'll be glad you have a car. Instead of looking down upon somebody who's gone through a worse situation than you have, help them and let us grow the society back to what it once was and not what it is becoming.
You are correct.
You ain't never lied.
🤔 How many homeless people have you personally housed? Most people are out of touch because a majority of these people don't want to come off the streets. In the same token no one is looking down on someone because their homeless, you can be homeless that doesn't mean you get to leave trash everywhere. If the law is it's illegal, you would want to do the least so as to not draw attention to living in your car. But leaving trash everywhere this only makes the homeowners reach out to authorities and complain.
I slept at my job 😒
Most of these people lost a lot in the war.. some of em lost there asses literally. Americans are loosing the war on meth..
It has been reported that rich corporations have been buying up housing, even single family homes, jacking up the sales prices, and raisng the rent they charge therefore contributing to higher rent rates overall. It's such an issue in many parts of the country that the traditional young family has been unable to own their own home.
The dream of home ownership has practically disappeared for some folks! There are families with both parents working 10 hour jobs that are unable to pay rent in a decent neighborhood. Some people that work from home move from place to place but actually live in vans,cars and campers and the like. It's a jungle out there and people survive any way they can! The government isn't trusted by practically any sane person. Who you gonna trust?
Foreign investors are part of the problem and there doing it on purpose to bring more harm then good to America.
yeah some canada fucks doing it too
The new socialist world. You will own nothing and be happy.
Thank you, Tesla😵
Its called vanlife... We aren't homeless. We are refusing to be slaves to landlords who raise rent to a point where our entire income goes into someone else's pocket.
That's fucking right 👏
like freeloaders?
how do you get internet ?
That's fine. But why do you litter? You are homeless, not mannerless. Keep it clean.
AMEN!
Absolutely 💯 Correct
I'm in Riverside California and Live Periodically in My Car and Sometimes in a Motel for a Nice Shower or Sleep
I am totally with you on being a Slave to Landlords or Corporations just taking my money 💵 and leaving me Broke to try to figure out how I'm going to pay next month's $1800 Rent .. I enjoy Living in my XB it's Comfortable and Plenty of Room and I get to Travel and Enjoy Life. As long as you're clean no drinking 🍻 or Drugs or 420 .. you've done nothing wrong but just park somewhere and fall asleep till the next town.
As I watch this, I am settling in for the night in my vehicle in a Nevada parking lot. I am house less, not homeless. The nomadic community is a different “neighborhood” than a homeless encampment riddled with drugs and crime. I’m a widow, mother and grandmother making the best financial decisions to sustain me long-term, without being a burden to my family or community. This lifestyle gives me financial freedom to travel. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs, never been arrested, paid my taxes, and attend church in the various towns in which I find myself when Sunday rolls around. The area around my vehicle is left cleaner in the morning than it was when I pulled in. I so appreciate the few businesses that allow me to tuck into a corner of their parking lot to safely spend the night. I would anticipate that the numbers of nomadic people and families will do nothing but increase in the coming years. Perhaps instead of passing judgment our communities and places of worship could consider opening an overnight parking area for nomads just like me. I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the folks with whom you would come in contact if you should dare speak with one of us and perhaps with that brief association your understanding of a different life path would deepen. Many nomads volunteer helping other nomads and those less fortunate. Nomads help to keep clean our BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. Likely you interact already with some of us and don’t even know it. This segment of my journey through life has been rich with blessings.
You can park in my driveway anytime...
I have heard of churches that are allowing people to park in their lots overnight. It is a great solution to a great need.
Love everything about this!
Powerful perspective and post. Thank you for this. I’m wishing you and others nothing but the absolute best.
If the 'houseless' didn't leave their garbage and crap all over, it might be different. You see an RV, you see a pile of garbage right in front. You see a tent, you see a pile of garbage....so???
It’s mind blowing that their answer is to issue tickets, instead of finding a solution, perhaps building parking lots for rv’s, vans and people who can’t afford an apartment or a house.
Or as simple as putting in some garbage cans and having regular pick up at those places. This world is changing we need to adapt.
That's true. If only the city, county, and state politicians will do the right thing for Americans.
We should definitely send 40 billion dollars to the Ukraine.
Most states, are cracking down on Rv's. Because, they don't pay land and house taxes.. the states can't make no money off of them... that's the whole thing, in a nut shell..
@@jennis4018 We shouldn't be forced to adapt to corporate greed that is at the crux of the issue. Instead, we need to get involved at a local and national level to deal with the giant investment management companies that have been sweeping up properties all over the country. First time home buyers are priced out of the market and affordable apartment complexes become unaffordable under these companies. They will suck the middle class dry.
My cousin was renting a 2 bedroom apartment on Tropicana for $700 💵 till some corporation bought the complex and kicked everyone out under the guises of remodeling, then jacked the rent up to $1700 per month. I bet these people living in their cars suffered the same fate. Crazy times we’re living in 😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
That happened to me back in 09. I said Fk u and moved into my moms basement. Been here ever cence as I wasted the economy jobs and everything else slowly be destroyed to socialism fascism and Marxisum.. I knew what was comming in 2015. I had a really good idea what might come in our future?..
Yes the developers are buying up old apt buildings and remodeling them. They kick people out and jack up TBE rent.
It's terrible. When we taxed high and controlled what corps could do it was better
There should be a limit on how much rent you can charge- I don't care if it's big money talking - if it leads to homelessness then you are charging too freaking much
well tell your cousin to give more handy's and pay the 1700
As someone who has lived out of their vehicle I can say it's a lot more civilized than living on the street or sidewalk.
That neighborhood that you're showing across the street from that "encampment"? It wasn't even there 5 years ago. Most of the homes directly across the street from that spot were only built in the last 18 months, and the ones on the extreme western edge are still being built out.
That spot has been a hugely popular boondocking spot for the nearly 15 years that I have lived nearby. This guy in the video is a typical affluent and privileged person who moves into a newly developed area and then complains about the existence of things that were there long before he arrived.
I have absolutely no problem with the people boondocking there in the cooler months. I park out there to hike up the trail going up that ridge, for the combined beautiful views looking out toward Red Rock on one side, and towards the Strip on the other. I have never seen a problem of trash, or noise, or drinking, or anything else. I see people who enjoy the land and respect the land, and who aren't bothering anyone but the affluent Chads and Karens.
You are 100% correct. Where those $700k houses are now was where I camped overnight 7 years ago when hiking the area.
This story is more like former Nevada renters bother current nevada renters fortunate enough to still live in an overpriced apartment or own a home. Treat these people well and maybe you won't be treated like the plague when you become homeless right next to them. And yeah-while your at it, kick them in the shins with fee's and fines.. and why don't you just confiscate their only shelter- throw them out in the elements- LAS VEGAS MAYOR CAROLYN GOODMAN AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT DO NOTHING TO HELP THE VOTERS UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY! If you want to help - give them a zone where they can safely park and sleep and dispose of their trash so they can get to that LOW PAYING job their holding onto! This is a way to help struggling business owners keep their businesses too!
THAT PART!
There's definitely more poor and middle class than rich,so why not just vote someone else in

It is not illegal to be poor. What should be illegal is for people to work and not have enough to pay rent, and basic living expenses. 👩💼

In America, it is illegal to be poor.
Now THIS is responsible reporting. So rare. And... Well done, both at the same time! Get these poor people help. Don't criminalize their dilemma. 👍🙏
I was living in Nevada and making great money but had to live in my van for a bit because there was zero housing available other than shady hotels that were not safe. Nevada also needs to have more housing that is pet friendly. It’s nearly impossible to get a place that accepts pets.
Thank you for keeping your pet
Same here in Southern Oregon🐶Also here some prop owners are asking for 3x the anount of rent in monthly income. $1650 rent (or more) × 3=$4950.00 in employment proof each mo. 700 credit scores. Like what is really going on Nation Wide?
That's because so many pet owners let their pets destroy places. So responsible pet owners suffer.
May God have mercy on the homeless. It might be an eyesore to those who are comfy in their homes, but they should show compassion. Many of those who are in their cars used to have homes too. Be careful how you treat those who are down on their luck it might be you in that position one day. Never say never.
Couldn't have said it better myself!!!
Big facts
Cool. They can live in your backyard then.
@@VoteForBukele just hope you don’t end up in someone’s backyard
Vote our ex Governor out ..
Is this a joke report ? That is what Nevada is calling a homeless encampment ? That looks pretty damn neat and clean to me, in the Bay Area we wouldn't even complain about a encampment that looked like that. Those people have cars and RV's and from what I am seeing are super clean. If you want to see what real homeless camps look like, try San Francisco or Oakland.
No, that's what the rich summerlin snobs think a homeless encampment looks like.
Exactly. I see way worse shit drivin up Seminary
Come to Washington St. We've got homeless lined up from Vancouver to Blain
Lol. Nicest homeless encampment I’ve ever seen.
...Or L.A.
Let's be clear about a few points here.
First of all, what you showed in your video was not homeless people partying and living in their vehicles.
Those were legally parked vehicles with no occupants in them.
One of the vehicles can be clearly identified as a company work truck.
Secondly, while the pandemic did have a big impact, the real problem is that people can't afford to live in the rapidly increasing cost of living in Las Vegas.
Low wages in Las Vegas are $20 to $25 per hour and these people can't afford to rent or buy a home so they are forced to live in their vehicles or camp where ever they can.
There's a lot of hostility about these "homeless" people but nobody is really addressing the issue and helping.
I agree, Jon! By the time that $20.00/25.00 per hour is taxed.. not a whole lot of money left.. for food and utilties, medicine.
20 to 25 would be ok but most work full time and make 10 thats 1600$ a month before tax good luck when rent is 1500 what are you expected to do
Bravo! Well said!
I wouldn't say 25 American an hour is LOW, but there are barriers to getting a place to live: no inventory, a credit check (which is AGAINST Credit Bureau ethics guidelines (we don't do it in Canada; same credit bureaus) and often you have to come up with a full month or two deposit, a chunk if you're just getting b ack on your feet. and it's going to get worse.
You assume that any of us should care about them or are responsible for helping them out lol.
No, I don't want to help them. I don't get up every weekday at 6:00 AM to spend 8 hours in an office so that I can give part of my earnings to some bum that sleeps in and drunkenly scrolls through TikTok all day lol.
No, I don't want them in my neighborhood .
They need to open up more camping grounds to help these people stay in a safe parking area... its so hard out right and who knows how long this will last. For those who are living well, we'll thank God!! ... but things change from one day to another.
The state of Nevada should have a designated place for these people to park their cars or vans. There are going to be more working middle class living in their cars thanks to the politicians who DO NOTHING about raising wages to keep up with the cost of rent!!! BUILD MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING!!! Take care of your people.
You would think they would have that with this being a highly tourist town.
It's called BLM your legally allowed to stay on blm land for 14 days ...
These people talking and complaining are the ones that out price locals and Nevada did Zero to keep homes affordable, now pad yourself on the back for turning Nevada into San Francisco without the beach.
@@anthonymartinez4307 its not the government's job to keep homes "affordable" in a free economy. Its the people's responsibility to elevate themselves by working or studying to increase their earnings. Try Cuba or China instead.
Raising wages and building project homes with our tax dollars is not the answer. These people need to help themselves or move to Slab City..
I'M CURRENTLY STAYING THERE! First off, when I had to leave my apartment I went to the BLM section of Red Rock because I wanted to be lawful and I was approached by a park Ranger one night, he told me to go to this location because it is safer. I will tell you straight up 99.9% of people staying there are responsible and respectful people. Very very few people have been there for longer than a week, most are travelers. Few people are locals like me, I've been there for 8 weeks and have never seen anyone leave trash and no one is ever up late being loud, partying anything. It's actually quite remarkable. I'm very thankful to have been able to stay in a place so safe and quiet considering my position. Most people only stay overnight until 8:30am, if they are locals they are going to work and travelers are going for morning hikes bikes etc. I've been working as a tour guide for an atv company and am 1 or 2 paychecks away from being able to rent a room in someone's home, so I will be leaving soon but the locals there are just like me. They're trying to get into a better position.
Good insight! Wow, I’m surprised a ranger told you that, especially considering all the car break ins and catalytic converter thefts that happen nearby in calico. I’d feel safer in the BLM areas. Not sure if those areas are actually considered part of red rock though. It’s kind of a grey area, despite some signs stating otherwise, but those are pretty far out there. You weren’t accidentally camping in black velvet or mud springs or something right? Those spots are off limits to campers.
@@mcculloughdakota If you take a look at the BLM map for. Red Rock you'll see practically everything off the side of the main road is BLM, not the actual conservation area. That's why there are some "no camping" signs in for of some trail heads. As long as there isn't a no camping sign off the main road you can camp. Ironically, the area the Ranger told me to go is not authorized for camping lol. But that's why you have seen vans, rvs etc there for years cause the police tell them to go there. I think it's in part safety in numbers and also no to have people scattered all over Red Rock 🤘
@@drotegu6 Word! I was thinking of some lesser known areas around the 160 but those can be a little harder to get to if one is in a regular car.
@@mcculloughdakota It's absolutely amazing how the government can prohibit citizens of this country from camping on "public land", paid for with our tax dollars!!!
Illegals First !!!!
Some of those vehicles are worth $100k....I seriously doubt someone with a Ram 4x4 with a flatbed fourwheel camper worth $100k is a vagrant.
Also that airstream travel trailer is probably $50,000. Is he really homeless?
Some do look homeless like the ones living in the black painted schoolbus.
I bet more than a few of those folks have decent jobs at Red Rock Casino and just can't afford summerlin home prices and want to live closer to work....and there is a convenient open desert 1 mile from the casino lol.
Good question and yes, some are. I know two people who used their remaining funds to buy and RV or a camper in which to live. Fortunately, their incomes are enough that they can stay at some lost cost or free campgrounds, at least part of the time.
I think some park there and move on.
What's really interesting about this story is the fact that the only negative impact that these people seem to have is trash which they only showed one picture of a small grocery bag full which tells me that there's not much trash The other problem is people don't like seeing vehicles parked near their home this is a tough one but it sounds to me like someone either needs to move to a gated community or recognize that they're just too poor to move to that gated community and they're going to have to deal with the people that are a little bit poorer than them and living in their car not to mention a lot of those look like $100,000 converted sprinters not exactly the drug addicts I would be worried about if I was the man complaining another thing if it's such a big deal how come they were only able to get one resident on camera to talk about it and the other was a city employee I know it's a run-on sentence I'm using voice to text cuz I'm lazy
2 weeks later I say ...well written!
Yea that one guy in the interview is a jerkoff
Down inside Americans hate each other.
It's most likely the van community. I agree. I understand the homeowners trepidation, but the solution is more places for these tourists and house less people to park safely.
Well if the rental properties weren't jacking up rent prices and making more people homeless, they can't help it!
60 Minutes did a story on that.
Well if the cdc didn’t steal 2 years of income for landlords I doubt this would be happening as bad
@@dcg590 And doubling property taxes
There is a serious disconnect in our society. The average American is one or two paychecks away from becoming homeless. This inflation is only going to get worse and it will be hard for people to rent an apartment.
It already is had to rent an apartment with the cost being so high it's truly sad. 🤘😎
Do you not save your money ? You should save a decent portion of it so that doesn’t happen.
Who can seriously say in today's economy they are able to save money? One pay check or one emergency away for breaking into savings is all it takes...then you are back to square one in being homeless...due to one unpredictable emergency.. There is no getting ahead in this economy...the rich dominant the financial sectors...there is no longer a middle class family and people need to understand that the Middle class family and the Blue collar citizens are the ones that keep the pockets of the rich full and wealthy beyond their standard of living. The standards they impose upon the working class families is something they themselves can not fathom if it was to even happen to them. The power of the people who help sustain and maintain the infrastructure and global economy has been all but removed....now they squabble for scraps... barrowing from Peter to pay back Paul and begging for help all in the same breath. 🤔🤷
Yes, the "disconnect" is that the average American is financially irresponsible and a glutton for a lifestyle above his/her means.
Exactly. How scary the times were living in
I am like SOOOO sorry that you sometimes have to look at poor people, Dude. It's atrocious.
🙏💯God be with the homeless.
so let me get this straight a person falls on hard times and they want to implicate fines to resolve the person that fell on hard times issue I think and feel it would make their situation worse they need to find a way to resolve the issue without financially hurting them even more
its the american way !
People honestly believe that making it illegal to be homeless will somehow help. Now they are homeless criminals. It's chasing out the 'riff raff' before they 'hurt property values'. The world is very unkind.
Yep
Any person can fall on hard times but if they were a nice giving and social person to begin with then family and friends are already there to help.
If not it’s because the same person doesn’t have the mindset to help somebody in need. It’s always about themselves.
This is why a person resorts to living in a car to begin with. No long term thinking or planning.
If some folks are supposedly so compassionate then feel free to open up your homes to them then. You won’t do it.
Always a sense of entitlement and expectations for government or taxpayers to help.
Trash Liberal Democ Rats. This is why every city self destructs run by Democ Rats.
Can you post your address so we can send them your way?
Here is the big thing they don't tell you in this story the RV's and other vehicles parked in the "No Parking" area are on BLM land and it is legal for them to disperse camp in that area. The no parking signs refer to the Highway right of way, not the area where the vehicles are. It took about 4 minutes of web search to figure this out.
Facts don't sell on the evening news, so they have to provide viewers half truths
Thank you! And they also didn't tell you in the story that the housing development across the street is brand new, and that the boondockers have been there for years. The land across the street used to be BLM land, until the BLM released it and sold it a few years ago. It would have been a much better story to talk about housing developments for the rich encroaching on the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, but I'm not holding my breath until they do that one.
@@geezerpleasers_OG Exactly. It took me around 3 minutes for a public records search that showed that the guy bought the house, brand new, less than 2 years ago. And then he started complaining about something that was there long before those houses were built, and which is 100% legal.

@@farmerbill6855 I don’t see any of these vehicles parked in front of anyone’s home. I do think there’s a problem if these folks are leaving trash but I bet 90% of them are not.

But, let them stay for a few days in the areas they showed here. Again, I didn’t see anyone parked in the streets in front of houses.
Not Bothering you. Leave them alone.
I can empathize, I have 2 doctorates and 39 years work experience, I go on interviews for technical jobs and get age discrimination, sometimes I hear them say I'm over qualified but usually it's just a flat our refusal. I've tried everything to hide my experience and look younger but it doesn't work. I got hired by a company with good pay but was let go after I gave my social security card and drivers license with the excuse they accidentally hired 2 people for the same job, just to clarify they are still interviewing for that one position. The practice is illegal but it goes on everywhere. So what choice but minimum wage do I have, I'm now a security guard for 15$ an hour I should be making at least $60 an hour, if I was younger I would. This country is so ruined.
I experienced age discrimination soon as I hit 50. Luckily, I had tenure or probably would have found myself out on the street.
It's a snare no one saw coming except those who orchestrated the take down we are witnessing.
It's the dismantling of society one piece at a time.
A careful look at the good condition of the RVs point towards nomads who are probably working and maintain their rigs. The news clip showed Ford Transit B van conversions, an overlander and a well kept trailer, $$$ to buy. Big difference from a challenging homeless encampment which often brings broken down rvs, trash, human waste, drugs and theft. Working homeless seek alternatives, and should receive some respect.

I fought dirty back as he waited to sue us in April my most financial month of bills, I did deep and fit so much dirt in this guy he dropped the case and we won, I finished my job and went back home to my family and home, never judge a book by its cover, I met so many homeless that never looked it, dressed nice daily, had jobs, but lived in their cars and U-Haul units fighting for child custodies and going through divorces
When i was homeless in LA i was sleeping in my car ..the major challenge was to find a spot without parking restrictions finding shade cus it would get hot constantly moving from place to place without attracting any attention from the busy bodies.. i would get parking tickets all the time..it was very stressful. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY CITIES DONT HAVE A BIG EMPTY LOT WHERE THOSE WHO LIVE IN THEIR VEHICLES CAN SAFELY SLEEP WITHOUT CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS IN THE AREA..
It's because the supposed God fearing people who are fortunate enough to live in houses won't let it happen! They and business people are the only ones the politicians care about! What you said makes perfect sense but I've yet to see it happen here in Portland, Oregon!
It'll get to that point very soon.Its called safe parking,some cities have it already.
Exactly... a place to park with porta potties or even a restroom cabana and dumpsters for trash. It surely would not cost any more than the cost of running away conventions, tourists, investors, businesses, and paying for the clean up of tent camps without restrooms and dumpsters !
As long as your car is registered you can park almost anywhere. Don't park where you need a permit . And set alarms for time limit spots. They can't give a parking ticket if you're in the car. Unless you're in a no stopping zone
I agree. And put large trash containers at one end, so they can dispose of their trash!
I have never seen a UA-cam comment section in such agreement. So full of understanding and empathy and honest and compassionate perspectives.
This is clearly an issue on many people's radars.
Well damn, I never thought of Homelessness as just an eyesore...I thought those people really needed help.
I value the cleaning lady in the food court at the mall, the janitors , the cashier's, the drive thru workers, the bus drivers, the trash collectors etc. Make homes and apartments affordable so that they have a place to lay their heads some piece of mind for themselves and their families 👍
Um, not all house less people have those jobs. But all the same, yes, affordable homes for all.
Lowering housing cost will rub those that own houses the wrong way because no one wants there home to go down in value.

Yeah issuing fines and fees is a suuuper smart way to deal with the homeless situation 🙄🙄
Better yet arrest them and impound their cars.

Every single state has usable land that could be designated, approved, improved and set aside for nomad living. We used to have traveling conservation core camps, farms had transitory housing camps. Break governmental regulations and give us back to freedom to travel.
We have the same happening here in Colorado. There are several people living in RV's and cars that park in the street next to the local park behind me. It's distressing to look out the window and think that with only a couple more rent increases and we could be out there too.
So much compassion and understanding from that Summerlin resident! 😬

By the way, I'm pretty sure that the No Parking sign that they kept showing is new, probably in response to the Chads and Karens in the brand new housing development across the street. Also, it's completely legal to park there during the day, so for the story to show people parked there when it's legal, while talking about how it's "illegal", was just bizarre.
@@geezerpleasers_OG you're absolutely right! Didn't think about that 🤔
American capitalism is what American's claim they want. THAT MEANS...screw you, I can raise rents as high as the market will bear. NO the city is NOT responsible to somehow force a "capitalist pig" to stop pigging. THIS is what the American public wants but when it happens to THEM they squeal, "THIS is not what I meant. The OTHER guy should be suffering." Honest to Pete, American's just are too damn stupid to see what is right before their eyes.

Its always something how our Country never has the money to help our own, but we can always come up with literally Billions to give to other Countries at any given time.

Because the politicians giving our tax dollars to other countries are getting huge kickbacks for their help

The key is to keep a low profile ((I've done this). Truck stops (I'm meeting a driver) Casinos (24 hour activity) and hotels with large lots for big rigs are three. But keep a low profile: make your car LOOK like it's not a home, keep in CLEAN, to not attract attention, and be gone before all get up in the a.m.!!

I live on an island in Hawaii, and since I moved here 10 years ago I became aware of a group of people who live in a cave a few miles out of town. You know the island is full of lava tubes? This group has a lady whom I know, who works for years at a local upscale restaurant down the block from me. I see her walk by, she's always clean and nicely dressed.
They live in a cave, and they are only one group that I know of.
I think, it's many more than a 100,000 and it's climbing each month!

I fear that there go most of us, if only when old age no longer allows us to work. Bad breaks earlier in life: cancer, a lost spouse, disability--will just get you there quicker. A huge prrcentage of these vans are just retirement homes on wheels, or even just a tarp against the wind.

Homelessness is beginning to become a problem in my area of Georgia. Local developers conspired with city officials to have subsidized housing shut down; then they bulldoze the property and build new, expensive apartments. Not everyone can afford to pay over $1200 for a one bedroom apartment.

State and local governments need to build showers, water stations, etc. Tax dollars are for the homeless who paid into the system already.
Keeping the masses of homeless happy avoids revolt and property damage. Homeless numbers will go up exponentially with climate migration. Find ways to employ and commit these people to volunteerism.
State and local governments take care of the rich first, schools and healthcare for the rich are the best, instead of being available to everybody. Houseless and lack of an address create mental anxiety when attacked for being down on one's luck. Home is where the heart is. Summerlin residents have no heart.

Don't look to dangerous... with rent prices these people are just living the best way they can
That "No Parking" sign is for the street. 18 feet off the side of the road it doesn't count. Unless the signs are placed at the back of the dirt area off the road facing the road. This is not a residential street. It's a highway.
I lived in my mini van for a bit. If I park anywhere I take whatever mess made with me, Sometimes I'll clean up others people 's garbage.
Most of those vehicles looked well kept, like van lifers- are the people just enjoying life from Sept-May instead? In the Denver area the areas and vehicles where people are actually living in ratty old rvs full time are absolutely trashed, looking like a junkyard along the road. Old tarps, tents, garbage, furniture etc etc

Some of the working poor make enough money to handle that payments on a nice Van or small motorhome, but could never afford rent. That's why some of those vehicles are nicer models.

Yep, and I'm just a paycheck away from a weekly rental as I work my ass off 40 hours a week as my rent takes nearly all my monthly pay.

During the pandemic, a lot of rentals and apartments complexes would not accept the money that was available for rental assistance. Look what happened after the pandemic was considered over, rents went sky high, because they evicted those who were behind. Maybe we need what new Yorkers have, rentcontrol. And I don't want to hear about rights.

It's a sad reality, and can happen to anyone. Especially with the price of rent out of control.
America is a disgrace and is on its way down. So why don't all the rich and ruling class get together and pass a law that says being homeless is illegal so you can arrest and send all of us working class corporate slaves to death camps.

The economic system is broken. Rents in the Western part of the country have always been high, crazy high, to where people have to get into roommate share situations and even then the rent share can be too much for working class people to afford.
Sad to see that even living in the desert is unaffordable now
These are all great and useful ideas, the problem is that the politicians are corrupt. Look at what they did to california. They dont want to solve the problem because if we all wanted that , after more than 2000 years of homelessness and poverty and lots of money ( I mean this goes way back to the time of Christ ) we as a society along with the ruling elite would of solved it . Do not blame this on capitalism because this exist in commy countries too...There are some great videos on the homeless problem in California and how the politicians and so called none profits , that profit big time off the misery of homeless and down troden make money off this. Very disgusted and sad over the truth I see.
@@greenisgold1322 Yeah! All that sand and no beach! At these rents!!

Tell me about it I moved to Vegas with my parents it's crazy how my mother, my father, my wife , and I are working and living together and we can barely make ends meet!!! Food in Vegas is almost 25% more expensive than in California and the wages here are almost double less than California. I only moved because Cali has good paying jobs but we barely were able to rent a spot because their asking for first and last month + security deposit and wit the rents 2,500-3,000 for 3 bedrooms we refused to pay 10,000-15,000 dollars just to rent a house !!!! I get it homeowners lost a lot of money during the pandemic but why the hell do us people who paid our rent throughout the pandemic have to pay for the bull sh*t everyone else caused!!!
In most areas of the nation, it's not illegal to park and live in one's vehicle. Those people may have a hard, difficult choice, 1) pay your monthly car payment, or 2) pay your monthly mortgage payment. They're not homeless people, but instead are inviduals living independently within confined and shrinking resources, and for one reason or another have chosen their vehicle to live in. As such, these people aren't homeless, but they're regularly employed and aren't relying on others to pay their way in the world. People have been turning their vans and SUVs into mini RVs for decades, and they should be interpreted as an RV would be. Many live in very nice self-converted vans that are very well taken care of. Such individuals spend a lot of money on refueling, filling up on water and groceries, and making vehicle repairs. So, while they may not pay property taxes in a location as they're just passing through, they do stop at Wal-mart filling up with gasoline, food supplies, and fresh water, while making vehicle repairs, doing their laundry, and dumping their grey and black tanks, etc. They can easily spend $100 - $300 in one day/night as they travel through a town. In return, these busineses, like Wal-mart, Cracker Barrel, and various truck stops, etc. will welcome them to spend a night in a specified parking area. Such individuals are supposed to check in with the business before stopping to spend the night, to verify it's allowed, what're the rules, and to see if there's a designated area. There are always some who abuse the system, making it difficult on everyone. There is also BLM land for camping with little to no facilities, such as water/electric hookups. Then there are those who are seriously living out of their vehicles, because they have nowhere else to live. Making it harder on these folks just hurts everybody, but an area has the right to define laws/rules in their location. Many churches and cities have begun designating specific areas where they choose to allow people who live in their vehicles to safely park. That is a wise decision, and it gives the community a chance to work with them to give them a hand up in becoming productive neighbors again. Other towns and states will begin campaigns against the homeless, in an effort to get them to move on. That's detrimental to all involved, frequesntly resulting in drug use, crime, abuse, and sometimes they're unsafe. Kicking them out of your city only pushes them deeper into poverty and danger, and frequently into homeless camps outside city limits with no facilities, no resources, and no assistance. I don't think people realize the homeless once had homes and jobs and families and good health, but that something horrible happened which broke them either financially, emotionally, physically, and/or mentally, etc. Usually it is a combination of bad circumstances with no way out that brings people to homelessness. Most want a way out, so lending a hand in a targeted manner can be very, very effective. Also, the majority of people living in their vehicles or on the streets are decent, moral people - like one parent families - who are working or disabled and trying their very best to improve their life situation... some are well educated with multiple college degrees. A community that strives to help these individuals will be helping their community in visible ways that reverberates across lines like class, finances, education, and even down through multiple generations. It's a worthwhile productive endeavor to watch these families as they pull their lives back together, integrating into their community once again. Really, there go any of us but for the grace of God. We're all benefitted as a community when all living within that community have the basics necessary for survival.
If they aren’t in your neighborhood leave them alone.
Edit: also, I couldn’t afford to stay in Vegas and I packed up and moved to Oklahoma, I have a crazy nice apartment in downtown Oklahoma City for $1,100 a month, in Vegas it would probably be $2,200 a month. I know it’s Oklahoma, but it’s affordable.
What your paying... wouldn't be feasible for one on SS or just making minimum wage. Your fortunate. Count your blessings, dear.
Even $1,100 a month is not affordable for many people, not if they still want to eat, have electricity, a phone, rags on their backs, and see a doctor once in a while. Many seniors, veterans and disabled are living on Social Security of less than a thousand a month after working and paying taxes and into the system for 40 or more years. Many worked for years at very low low pay, a dollar an hour even. I myself worked over 30 years before I made $15 an hour raising three kids on secretary's salary.
Vegas has changed so much over the years. It's easy for those fortunate enough to blame the homeless for "not trying hard enough" or whatever you want. I'm working more than 40 hours a week, and with the BS minimum wage on top of rising gas prices, and rent increase, it's just about IMPOSSIBLE to live alone. Most places require 3x the rent to start off, and no SINGLE person can do that. I had to have someone cosign for my apartment or I wouldn't have a place to live either. It's unfortunately just easier to life out of your car than bust your ass and barely make it...

Now that runaway inflation has almost doubled food prices in a few short months, homelessness will follow suit. I've been around for a while, and I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. Prices will likely just keep going up and triple, then quadruple in the coming months. The government is lying about it, naturally.

The USA has always been a country of excess. Sadly it's catching up to us now. I don't have ten kids, 6 cars, or more than 1 home, and very rarely frequent the fast food places. Problem is most people don't live within their means.
Do not assume that everyone who lives in a vehicle is homeless. Some of those rigs shown in this news clip sell for over 100 grand. I lived in a van and during that time, I never felt more alive. I also had thousands in the bank but chose not to get a room. It's called boon docking, not homelessness. Boon docking is a freer, more adventurous and a more recreational way of living. Bob Well's is the most noted person who promotes dispersed living and he has many videos on UA-cam. I would recommend "Without Bounds" as a starter video into this subject. Bob also makes more money than many people who live in boring houses. As far as this issue is concerned, Nevada is not lacking in wasteland and BLM Property, I'm sure this issue can be worked out.

If he tried to communicate with them and discuss the trash situation or what’s important to him I’d be willing to bet they would be reasonable.

The homeless population problem goes back decades. It started in 1980's and before, but rarely seen. It got worse as the decades came and went. But it has really took off dramatically and hugely in last 15 years or so year by year. 10 years ago it was bad, but nothing like now. Unfortunately it will continue to spike up year by year and in next ten or 20 years, half the country will be homeless if this charade of greed and selfishness continues. No relief in sight, just lip service by all in government saying they are trying to fix the problem. It's BS, they are not! Homelessness is the norm now. Get used to it. It's not going away, and just gonna get worse. USA TITANIC now sinking fast!
They don't look homless. Their vehicles are pretty new and late model. It is all the people the real estate investors put on the street by tripling rents. The useless Government should stop worrying about the trainies and moggers. And birdies and do something.
That’s why before the 1990s you could stay at places like the downtownr motel and crest motel for $20 a night, because there was a standard in society and always a basic clean accommodation, you could live there and then work at someplace and build up, but now anywhere you stay is $100+ and they also didn’t have resort fees back then, and what is left of that is over priced boutique motels or complete dumps. No basic standard of decently anymore. The problem today is how normalized it has become. It shows americas newest and biggest weakness.
@@rectaldestructionisnotlove4091 Bingo! Yup! True but also 🏦 bank, mortgage companies etc.. foreclosed and foreclosing on millions not paying or can't truly pay their back breaking monthly payments. Amongst job loss, got sick, etc.... Homelessness now a disease like Corona, Flu, Cancer etc... in USA TITANIC. A new trend of normalcy. Awful! Sick! Greedy, Selfish country we have become. Horrible horrific scary because it will continue to spread like wildfire. Non payment of property taxes will also leave you in the streets. Too many obstacles for all in USA TITANIC. USA TITANIC now sinking fast! Good luck all!
@@thepessolanoinquirer6856 Very true! I remember those days and decades. I did it! Whiskey Petes $15 a night! Imperial Palace $20 a night! Excalibur $19 a night! Railroad Pass $10 a night! Many strip and off strip hotels, motels had deals and steals back in 1978 to 1999 or so when I lived there. Not anymore, those days are long gone and won't be back ever unless Las Vegas runs out of water or depression. Greed took over, and I mean nasty dirty mean selfish ugly greed. USA TITANIC now sinking fast!
@@truelies3690 Wow I’m fascinated with that time frame in Vegas I’m only 21 and moved to Vegas but I’ve done allot of research on old Las Vegas. It was a interesting time. You must have seen Stardust and the Maxim.! I read it was $40 a night and they would polish your shoes.
People also want to downsize. Maybe they don't want to blow all their income on rent.
One paycheck is a huge stretch in terms of the difference
