A look inside the new Skid Row high-rise development for the homeless
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- There are 278 units in the 19-story development known as the Weingart Tower. It's intended to help people currently without shelter on Skid Row and it will be L.A.'s largest permanent support housing project. READ MORE: abc7.com/post/...
$600k per unit. "homeless advocates", contractors, admins are defintely getting rich off this program.
Just like the privatization of our prisons, energy companies and military? At least people are getting help, and can hopefully get employed to pay for their own apartment. If people are tired of seeing homeless people on the streets then this is what it takes.
@@marco12377 No. The homeless are a) mentally ill: get them the help they need, b) addicted, get them the help they need, c) recalcitrant and refuse to play by the rules of society, work or go to jail.
You have to include the breakdown of the land cost. That would be $550k per unit for the land.
@@marco12377
And people like you are why we have so many problems.
You bet they are!
These things will be trashed in hours. It’s not about housing. It’s about mental illness and substance addiction. Until the latter is treated, nothing can be done.
I am sorry to say that EBT IS EVEN a bigger problem
Bad to say I said the same thing
@@nayandhir5910 Food stamps and EBT were never meant to feed the poor. They were given out to subsidize the big food conglomerates. Fast food meals and sugary sodas to add to free medical care from eating a poor diet. When the breadwinner in our family was downsized a few years ago and lost medical insurance, Obama FINED us at a time we couldn't spare money paying the bills. And our fine went to give free medical care to others who did not contribute to society, and now to the undocumenrted. A travesty.
100%!!!
600k per unit to build. CROOKS CROOKS CROOKS
I work hard and I live in ghetto and homeless people living modern new building what a joke this country
The units will be destroyed in record time
Why not just pray for them instead of blashing… them .. Everyone deserves a break sum kind hope that love still exists. What if God turn your switch on to be in the condition and mindset. Learn to pray and give God grace and glory Gezz..
@insightwmrssladywbuzz5779 This isn't a break, this is more handouts that have proven not to work.
They should go to veterans first.
Are you saying that joining the military isn't an adventurous vacation? I am shocked to hear that the military industrial complex, designed to make the top 1% even wealthier has turned a blind eye on the very people that they tricked into doing their dirty work, all in the name of "freedom"...
Yes yea yes ! Sad to say lots homeless chose to b on streets bc OF DRUG HABITS ,, OUR VETERANS SHOULD DEFINITELY COME FIRST
@@carlotaestrada9869 Imagine believing that people choose to be homeless...
"I am not a millionaire because I choose to be middle class instead!"
💯% veteran occupied
Exactly! But uet they have Vets on a fkn waiting list for housing assistance because the homeless have the advantqge
disgusting... if armed forces can live in barracks, so can these bums
Damn right soldier!
Preach it
Let's be real, you have never been homeless or in the military...
@marco12377 let's be real... you don't know how to read....
@@decentrik What about my comment dont you understand?
Let's reward failure, bad choices and charge tax payers..... nice🤦🏽♂️
It actually costs more to deal with current issues the way they have been this entire time. How a country treats its poorest is the greatest measure of true economic health
That's democrats
@@Sayphonik it’s not going to do much to change the homeless situation. That building only holds a few hundred people. There’s almost a hundred thousand homeless in L.A.
@@Sayphonikhow about they get a job and struggle like the rest of us. It’s not my job to bail out these people.
It's *much more expensive* to throw people in jail and care for people with serious medical problems because of their homeless living conditions than to do what is depicted in this video.
What are the stipulations for living there?
How much is the rent?
How long are they allowed to stay?
How much is this costing?
Your reporting skills suck.
They have to have a job and pay 30% of their income. It’s permanent housing for them. I saw this on another video.
You ask very good questions!
Good question!
What a beautiful fentanyl dealership!
😂😂
i would like to be proven wrong but it's going to be a disaster.
It only works if they also have homeless advocate workers included throughout the building. The people who are moving into this building need supervision.
Even if it works, $600k per unit. Then who pays for the ongoing costs and upkeep? This isn't sustainable anyways because it only houses 278 people what a joke
Taxpayers pay.
@@ericheick7044 Maintaining jails and keeping them incarcerated, as well as treating any medical conditions caused by their living conditions is *much more expensive* than doing what we see in this video.
That’s a hell of an upgrade over a tent.
Yup from a cheap $15 tent to a $600,000 brand new unit with amenities… unreal
They won't notice the difference when they are fiending for fent/crack/etc. It'll still be a nightmare to them
It's not a crack house. It's a crack tower.
Give 6 months and it will be trashed and possibly burnt down.
Depends on how it's run. But I have little faith in Karen Bass.
They’re gonna pawn/sell all the furniture for drug money 😂😂
Exactly... this is a drug-addict tower
Gangs.
A follow up in a year would be great. This is going to get messed up.
A lot of the homeless are mentally ill. They might trash their apartment or become hoarders. I guess they will do inspections on a regular basis.
Within a year it will look like the street outside.
@@hardwired4548 The street outside doesn't have round the clock case workers assisting tenants with the help they need.
@@marco12377 And how long do you think it will be before the case workers walk off in disgust from being victimized everyday.
@@hardwired4548 Are you speaking for case workers because you have done the job yourself?
Tell me a politician ain't skimming money off this
So many things wrong about this in every way .
So after a year of not being homeless. ..are they gonna start paying rent like everyone else
Like 200 bucks per month.
Damn i just turn homeless this second as I’m typing this we’re can I sign up
😂
@@monicafigueroa2018 I wonder if it has a prostitute allowance for mental health. ???
Look better than my room. Should I stop paying taxes.😢
2k to live around tents a mile away. Why the fuck do they get this?
What about the vets? Don't I have say where my tax dollars go??
Not in Comifornia.
Homeless and migrant business is more profitable...beside Vets benefits I believe is controlled on the Federal level. Therefore there is not opportunity to make even more money.
California residents overwhelmingly voted for this.
California has a big drug addicted homeless problem.
The VA needs sufficient federal funding to adequately take care of our disabled veterans and vets who fell on hard times.
Meth lab is coming.
Goodness the apt looks a lot better than my own.
You (and I) are not in the "favored" groups.
@@josephgaviota Try being homeless for years, then tell us all how "favored" you are...
And if you live in CA you PAiD for it! Feels good huh…
@@marco12377well said good human
@marco12377 Lots of Em. Choose to be homeless cause they don't want to get off drugs Or alcohol and don't wanna pay rent Because they couldn't afford their habit if they did
Just a matter of time before someone 💩 on the walls
lol they will have their own bathroom now so why would they do that
@sbsk2526 how sheltered are you? never seen a homeless camp before?
@@thirdmonkey why would they do that in their own brand new $600k home? Outside in their old camp that’s a different story. I’m talking about when they move into their brand new home.
@sbsk2526 mental illness and other factors such as addiction is the reason most people are homeless and you think they can maintain a 600k home? Okay.
@sbsk2526 they don't care 😂. What he said stands, that will definitely end up happening.
I give it six months it’ll turn to crap
Sounds like your relationships
Damn. Home Depot had tiny homes for 20k . i smell fuckery
Real estate is *expensive* in coastal California.
Now can we help the middle class, taxes are killing us
lol Yeah right. Good one...
No you got a pay for this
Nobody really has to live in California. The cost of living in the Dakotas and Nebraska, including a roof over one's head, is much more reasonable there. Plenty of work there, too. Most folks don't like the winters, though.
@@chetpomeroy1399 you said it by yourself, it’s cold 🥶
Do they have their own law that’s different from American law?
@@nicoledijkstra-araghi3576 Those are just three of the several states, *all* of which are under the jurisdiction of federal law. Like other states, they have their own individual state laws. By and large, the regulatory structure there is more accommodating for businesses that create jobs and for developers who seek to build single-family homes and rental properties.
They’re saying for the homeless, but another news source said that they are for section 8. 😏
Section 8 is a good program. That prevents future homelessness!
250 units x $600K each unit = ? (I call bullshit and my comment is being deleted)
There going to destroy that build it’s going to bee the drug spot soon see it abandon in a few years !
I wish my life was a complete failure, so I could live in such nice digs as these.
This place is not going to be very nice to live in. The people moving in will trash it.
any drug history or record should disqualify you from this facility. even alcohol and weed. they should be working to better themselves while here so they can stand on their own in the future.
No more dangerous than the drugs in your cabinets
@@Sayphonik
How many comments have you made? This is at least the 10th one so far.
Why don't you go down and live with your buddies down by the river? Go where you belong.
@@Sayphonikare you serious? I didn’t realize how dumb people really are until I read comments on UA-cam.
I’ve worked my whole life and at 50 I still can’t afford a home. What am I doing wrong!? I can’t get ANY help because I did work til cancer struck me.
If you build it they will come and keep coming till the hole California is a disaster... how do this people think this is a Solutions
At least the tweaker in south central breaking into cars learnt a lesson.
Please let us know how smart you are. Present one solution please.
How many of these residents are from the state of California? Are these ppl going to fingerprinted? We all know how fast this place will go up.
Wish I could get a free apartment.
Hea never been given anything?! What has he deserved? Im sure hes never worked for anything either. People in charge of LA are sick.
I wish i was homeless, than I'd have nice things.😢
@ericcarrillo1294 your very last name sounds illegal. Are you one of those "chicanos for trump" that blame illegals because you're incompetent and lazy? Do you resent the fact that many "illegals" are hardworking and accomplish more without knowing the system, the language, or the environment than many like you?
They dont deserve this apt...
Hopefully everyone given the opportunity to live in a safe clean residence is drug tested. Who knows, let’s have faith in it being a step in the right direction to help others in need and in turn betters the community/city.
Drug testing, as well as an employment office. No one who doesn't know how to hold down a job can improve their life.
Bahahahaha another shit lib leftist voter. Here is your sign. Hey I think all the apartments come with a Unicorn too.
I do not believe in how Karen Bass is running LA. Where is her jobs program? I'd be on board if it included an unemployment office where people moving into the building could also apply for meaningful jobs. That's the real road to fixing homelessness in LA!
Apparently they are required to have a job and pay 30% of their income
This is definetely going to get messy very quickly 😂
fix drug issues! stop spoiling them!
It’s homeless veterans that deserve it. Tax payers that deserve affordable housing.
This is disgusting period as middle class can't pay their bills
I give it 6 months unless they gonna have 24-hour armed security!! They definitely will be bringing their friends in when no one is watching. smh
What percent of the skid row population will be moving into this new housing?
1% ? Maybe 2% ??
They will strip and sell everything of value in 3 weeks😂
@@jaybomb5022 I (sadly) think you're right. Half the units will be reduced to uninhabitable in the first 3-6 mo.
Majority
Welcome to the hotel Ca. Those homeless will tear that place up, I give it 6 mos.
So is there a track or program they can follow to get back on their feet and help the next wave of homeless or are they just gonna chill in a penthouse apartment?
If they are putting the actual people from skid row in there it’s going to be the worlds biggest crack house
Keep the homeless 'engaged' with a music room, games, TV et al. You know what would keep them 'engaged'? A JOB and working for a living to support themselves. How far away is the nearest liquor store to provide refreshment as they watch Judge Judy re-runs all day?
Cool where can I sign up? I’ll take 10 rooms!
it won't last 1 year unless there is strick security and strick rules.
It's beautiful 😍 but bottom line and with the law of entropy ...It's enviable it's going to be thrashed. So it's a Vertical "Soft" Sec 8 Zoo but a very nice one at that. Now Build more!
I bet some people will be angry & jealous that homeless people are getting a nice place to live. If you feel this way, try to have some compassion.
LOL.
You are part of the problem, thanks for helping this world turn into garbage.
Oh he'll no waste of money
I wanna be homeless now
These folks are going to be very proud of their new homes. They are going to be inclined to help others. We all should be.
that’s nicer than my room i rent for a grand 🥲
Do you have a gym?

What about doing something like this for VETERANS???
Very good news!
All money should be spent on homeless people instead of being spent on Ukraine!
I thought we only have military industrial complex
Now we have a homeless industrial complex. Just as bad .
Please do not turn it into a drugs den.
I’ll take one crack rock please. I’d love to have a free or section 8 luxury apartment with amenities.
As a taxpayer in California I am outraged that any penny of my taxes paid for this. This should have been a charity.
Yooo. Lemme in.
Corruption in our faces!!!
You know our society ifs fucked if politicians are trying to convince us that skid row is a "community". The best way to prevent homeless is by helping the middle class stay middle class by lowering our taxes.
278 homeless shelter rooms is a small number. They must still be living in the 15th century 😂
That building will be destroyed within a year
So many people jealous of homeless people, its sad but hilarious😂
Dammm Nino brown type of building 😆 🤣
You can put lipstick on a pig... it's still a pig
It’s gana be messy
Guys, remember that we Californians are paying and most of these homeless ppl are not from California also
I'm so happy for those new tenants😊😊😊 They seem like nice people and they obviously appreciate their windfall.
two tenants....
Active duty Marines live with rats, have no heat, or clean water, but crackheads get brand new digs fully furnished... Yeah, that sounds about right.
(WEF: You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy….) It’s all by design..
a community pays taxes!
Not everybody deserves housing, make maintaining employment a requirement and watch interest plummet
Accountability for taxpayer money.....my gosh, how much exactly did we pay for just the toilet in these apartments? Bring back County Mental Health facilities and drug rehabilitation.
Lets get one thing straight. Homelessness is a huge profit making scam where 24 Billion of our tax dollars disappeared without accounting and people continue to get rich...Period.
A waste of taxpayer money. I bet with in a year it will be distorted
Ok, but why are homeless people living better than people who ACTUALLY have jobs, are veterans, or are serving the country? This is just incentivising these people to stay homeless and live off the system.
The Homeless Industrial Complex is in full swing in the city of angels.
"Experiencing homelessness" just sounds wrong.
What a FANTASTIC idea! What could go wrong?
1. Pruitt-Igoe housing project erected in 1954,
2. Cabrini Greens public housing, Chicago
3. Jordan Downs, Watts , LA
4. Louis Heaton Pink Houses, Brooklyn
5. Johnston Square Apartments
Baltimore
5. Queensbridge Houses, Queens
6. Robert Taylor Homes, Chicago
This entire concept for skidrowers is just ridiculous !! Yet our veterans and other honest struggling American families get overlooked .
This is better than being on the streets but I’m furious that these people are getting fully furnished apartments for free . Not for free from my income taxes.
Hope this actually is helpful and doesn’t end up a headline
It's probably not helpful, and will _never_ be a headline. The D people will cover for one another.
These comments demonstrate who America really is. This country's done
I'm homeless for 2 years but that's too much Jim and everything give me a job that's all the rest I'll take care of it
I want to live on skid row now
Hopefully it stays clean for a couple days
Who is paying to maintain this place? Who’s paying the utilities?
You see those 20 sq ft closet rooms they made for the homeless and then these 1600 sq ft, 600,000 dollar units for the homeless. Come on. Next, get the homeless each a yacht and put them out to sea. Crazier every day!!!
I hope the people that really need the units get them. Mandatory mental health & drug/alcohol counseling for those who need it should be required to remain a tenant. I hope this brings some resolution to the problem but the 600k per unit seems a bit 🤨
they hired all those contractors related like friends and families , no brainer , 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
It's frustrating to see that some homeless people seem to be living better than me despite my hard work. I have a full time job, a part time job, and a UA-cam channel, yet I still struggle to pay my mortgage and deal with the insanely high cost of electricity and other expenses. California feels like a scam, and I'm seriously considering packing my things and leaving.
I genuinely don't understand why anybody is there...its crazy expensive!
The cost of a roof over one's head is *much more reasonable* in the Dakotas and Nebraska. Plenty of work there, too.
@@chetpomeroy1399 once I get enough saved I'm moving out.
what a time to be homeless in LA. if you work an honest job in cali and not meeting your needs you are definitely cheating yourself.
