Today I went to downtown Los Angeles where are the three towers from the oceanwide Plaza are. Those are the three buildings that have been tagged by graffiti artists. There’s a new update high metal fence are installed. Could that be the end for the graffiti artist to tag the building? After this I explored more of Los Angeles downtown six street bridge and other really unique places in LA. I took lots of pictures.
I love how much effort and money they are putting into this like its Californias biggest problem.💀
I feel you dude more cops will probably come. What a waste.
Those perforated sheets of steel definitely aren’t cheap that’s for sure.
Maybe the Chineese are coming for another visit.
They waited until after the buildings were all done up which is an ineffective reactionary response.
lopsided priorities because authorities have always hated graffiti - its so suss to their own dominant plans lol 😂😢😂
"Show me a 15' fence and I'll show you a 16' ladder" ... those kids are going to find a way who are we kidding.
They are grown adults.
@@douglasstone3813you know these people?.
Portable torch.
kids? keep jidding yourself.
They are not kids!!!
They are some very well known graffiti artists. Some in their 50’s even, from all over the country and even international.
Sad to see how cities the world once envied are being systematically destroyed from within.
Yes a microcosm of the country
Liberal policies
@@Celeste0415 Absolutely
Destroyed? Paint seals the surface bud. Plus those big grey chinese buildings are not a national treasure. It's cool if you want to pay taxes to clean this off though so we have a fresh surface
Yup, I'm 51 born and raised In los angeles California and now everything sucks about la socal! Only the weather excellent 24/7. People and traffic pissed off 24/7😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
So, taxpayers have the expense of “protecting” a bankrupt Chinese investor’s property?????
What is WRONG with this picture????
Thank you, GIV, for your constant updates of this ridiculous situation….!
Govt should just take building away. Laws can be changed and added to suit whatever the communities needs are. Using eminent domain or whatever they need to reclaim this property that is just sitting there no use for the good of the rest of society is an altruistic endeavour.
Biden and his son are in bed with the Chinese. Buddies. They like communism.
So much. 😣🇬🇧
I didn't even think about that your absolutely right.
@@MbisonBalrog its chinese grade construction no one wants it
that new fence has enough surface area that it is going to attract so much graffiti
They would graffiti you if you stood in place long enough.
Agree . There will be graffiti soon on these fences 😅
that's one of the selling points, cheaper to clean than a multi-story canvas
Looks like they have outstanding patrols along the fence line now.
Look close enough you'll see chain link fences tagged up.
Los Angeles just keeps downgrading….. it’s so sad.
Did you expect an upgrade 😂
LA is a dump, thanks to leftoyd politicians. RIP Cali!
And California residents keep voting the same. The only thing the politicians haven't ruined with their insane policies is the sunshine.
@jimo2665 dosent matter how they vote the system is rigged don't be so childish
@@jimo2665 How will these tagging/graffiti problems be resolved if voted differently?
Whenever I miss living out there I watch your videos.
U ain't missing nothing! Trust me, I've been here 51 yrs all my life. 70s to 90s the last great decades. Sun 🌞 only great thing now and all the food.
Yes please stay aways....we're Full
@@nightowl6811 i lived out there on and off since 2003 havent been back out since 2019
@@nightowl6811 the first time i lived out there from 2003 to 2008 was pretty good and interesting but the times after that there was less work and rent was even higher one time i lived in very old complex in huntington beach and that was pretty cool

Thank you for your updates! I like that you keep us updated on interesting ongoing things in Venice and LA!
Informative video, MIKE… Keep up the helpful content to help people be aware of their surroundings and what’s going on in the city… God bless MIKE❤
the fence is going o look great in a day or two it will be tagged all over 🤣🤣
Grat update 2x👍
😂😅😂
Thanks for staying on top of it. Love seeing this go down!!
Hello GiV, and thanks for another video... 👍
That's hilarious 😂 absolutely absurd. They will be over that in three minutes.
I don't care for people tagging others' property, but I'm glad you can find beauty in it. That's the difference, you have an artist's eyes... unfortunately, I don't. But i really liked the video. Please be safe while filming! We'll watch you no matter where you go. Take care.
Mike, Little House on the Prairie reunion is coming to Simi Valley real soon. That would be a cool video.
Those cops are just pissed off because they got in trouble buy some high-ranking officer. I'm sure those cops got reamed. It was continued to be tagged even after the police was supposedly keeping an eye on it. And I believe they don't have the right to kick you off the street because it's public
It's not legal to stand in the street.
Those look like illegal immigrant cops.
When you barked at the dog, my cat ran over to the window and looked out! LOL
That tripped me up! I was like wait a minute was that the GIV barking??
That Cybertruck reminds me of the Armoured Personnel Carrier A.P.C. from the movie ALIENS
wow that looks like the slums in India.
You should see Roosevelt Avenue in Queens 2024 😂 It's like Latin American slums, but it's an adventure 🐀
Mike, I'm waiting for someone to: (1) Parachute in to the top of the build, spray it, the jump off with parachute to get away, or (2) now that the rain has stopped, sneak thru the sewer drain system into the building area, spray it, and go back thru the drains to get out, or (3) Use high tech drones to fly in and spray paint their work. Who says you can program them to do so! 👍👍
nice fantasy mind...😊
If this was San Francisco, your windows would be busted out and your scooter would be gone
I was thinking the same. I hope GIV is going to be safe.
Dawn of the Dead
@CJemzB The GIV was in the vicinity of those buildings that were recently tagged with graffiti in downtown L.A... and a large police presence was in the area at the time. Even the GIV wouldn't leave his bike locked in his car at Venice Beach under normal circumstances. I'm just saying San Francisco is worse!
Thanks really enjoyed it be safe out there
that’s crazy that the cops won’t go in the building but they have security in there smh
Private property
@@DJ_NarcanThey're serving and protecting the investor or owner of the buildings, albeit, too late. It's too hard for the police to police those high rises so they put up barriers while catching people leaving for they need food and water at some point.
@@Worldofourown2024You voted for it so stop complaining about Street level police officers.
@@checkraiser1000I don't live in California. I'm just pointing out a fact easily observed in these videos. I don't vote Democrat nor living California. Even way before Biden/Harris and Newsom, I knew I wouldn't want to live in California just after a couple days during a trip as a tourist. All over the states we're increasingly disunited, hateful, and selfish only undermining one another for no one takes responsibility for anything other than maybe their own bills.
@@Worldofourown2024 I think I just had a stroke, reading that last sentence. Ouch!
The 1,000,000 fine art in the frame, I came across the homeless guy who was painting it yesterday he asked me “ does it look like I don’t give a fuck?” I told him it looks like you don’t give a fuck but with style 😂😂😂
Best news channel ever!
I can't imagine that fence lasting very long, soon it will be covered in graffiti! That car looked like it belonged in a futuristic movie. Great video again! ❤ to your mum. Take care😊
Cybertruck is fitting to see in a place like LA! The vibe is very movie like except it's real life in an era where the real world really is becoming like science fiction.
Hi! When you plug one hole they aways find another way in. If these taggers get caught they won't have a leg to stand on law wise. I just never realized how smart these people are to do what they do and the risks they take. I enjoyed your video content away from the building also. Keep doing what you do. Enjoy your weekend!
Unbelievable footage. The tagging is such a work of art.
Tagging is not art. It’s vandalism.
@@taoist32dork😂
@@incognitoazzmobsta Clown.
To the officer, I'm going but, I'll be back !
That’s not what he said
Cool video man!... Some of your photos of the City near the end looked like they were straight out of GTA5
Hey Mike, there's a city office of film permits and you can find out everything that is filming each day and where they are filming. Of course, sometimes they use fake or different names to hide the production or the movie name
Sorry, I was wrong, After 9/11, they changed the rules and Film LA no longer issues daily shooting schedules to the public.
I love the urban jungle too g! Beautiful photos
If there are no dirty words on the buildings. I’d just leave them alone.
It’s really kind of cool!
It’s very artistic!
My mother being an Art Teacher for 40 years has rubbed off on me. 😁
All paid for by our hard earned money. The city should seize the building, put up for auction & pay for its protection & clean up from the sales.
They don’t want to pay the taxes.
No one will buy that. It's in the hood and realistically it would need all the tagged windows replaced.
Don't let them cops be pushing you around mike, your only doing your job.😮
And they are doing their job. And it's, *you're, by the way.
wow that new fence is a great canvas for new art. sweet!
Just like a border wall 😂
This ain’t stopping no one
@13:47 "old light pole" that is replica of gas lamp street lights before electric lights. San Diego restored their downtown Gas Lamp District back in 1980's.
19:27 Looks like the backdrop to every late 80's early 90's arcade beat em up.
Hello from Nova Scotia Canada ❤
Hello from beautiful Los Angeles, California.
thank you for updating! glad to see what's going on in Cali
Always love your content, keep up the good work!
Giv, thank you for the update. Looks like the police officers were not briefed on anything bunch of numpties. Well done, GIV, for filming .The cost to the actual fee tax paying people of L.A. are having to pay extra for the clean-up, then I guess they will tag other locations. Be safe GIV, nice snaps amongst the filth. 🌟🌟👍👍🧡🧡
Blaming police for not being informed is like blaming the Right for the problems in Blue cities. Dumb.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉 GIV. and many more. ❤
It's cute that you think that fence will stop writers. :)
I'm gonna be in LA in July bro I'll be stopping by your shop n saying what's up German in Venice
I miss LA so much even tho I've visited it only once. Met GIV in the Venice beach!
That ain’t stopping anyone
Its pretty crazy people were climbing up there and tagging on such narrow ledges.
A new video from my favorite channel.
Thanks GIV!!
7:20 The moment the hero becomes a fool
Boy am I glad I left LA
Used to work downtown and it was never this bad. Very sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢
That cop had to Feel like he did something since They Don't.
LOL, that cop violating your rights is a tyrant. Kudos for barking back at him Mike. These cops always with their needless directives 😂
You are the best, Mike.
Love what you do man! Keep it up and updating us. 👍🏾
Damn, the pigs are acting like Paul Blart private security when it comes to protecting an abandoned building in DTLA and Nazis when it comes to filming it too 🤡😂
That cop couldn't catch a donut if it was running from him. LOL
They put up fences to prevent tagging but do not erect them to stop immigrants.
Btw, Taggers strike AGAIN!

nothing to do with graffiti taggers...
🔯💯🆎🔤🔠those new fences are gonna look awesome all tagged up!!!!!!! 😀😀🤔👍👍👍👍go taggers.... GOOOOOOO
Thanks Mike loved it
Beautiful pictures 😊
I do not understand why they put all that graffiti on the building, what is the point of doing things like that? What is the goal? This is absolutely stupid. Thank you GIV, for the video
So much trouble and tax payer money fo a few abandoned buildings 🤷♀
hi from Türkiye Mike ! You are doing more longer vlocs, I appreciated that, thanks!
You got some great Sunset photos GIV with the blended colours. Of Downtown.matching.your Sunset photos and thanks to the.GIV this is the place to be round about the end of the day.
it's cool of LA to allow the taggers the freedom to do their art and not get arrested. fence is just for show. cutting a hole is pretty easy to do
That won't even slow them down. They'll love a clean canvas.
that mesh steel fencing is valuable, I doubt it last a week, it will be stolen
Looks like thick aluminum. That will be stolen quick.
Put a real magnet on it and see... 🧲 do not attach to aluminum
@@zuluradioseattle2007 Real magnet? Do they make fake magnets? I was guessing aluminium due to the thickness. Heck, that thick would stop a .50 cal if steel. I also don't think the type of setup they have, could handle the weight of steel that thick. The holes in it would of course lighten it, but still super heavy. I'm a few thousand miles away or I'd go check it out with a magnet. Hey German in Venice, can you go see if it's magnetic?
Thank you for all your updates, GiV. Wonder how much in public resources will be expended on this single building in a city swimming in crime?
I remember on another video someone stripped out all of the wiring from the bridge lighting. Did they fix that or just leave it like it is?
Even third world slums are not as trashy
That fence is bolted on looks like it folds up, and looks like some good metal. Wonder when ppl are going to steal it... get it steal :)
Battery powered angle grinder for the bolts, fold up and off to the scrap yard for fentanyl money.
@@gyrospinup Probably for addicts stripped the new bridge of the wires lighting it.
thanks mike was fun stay safe brother
Those fences are rented, and they are costly. I agree, their design, all that surface area makes them easy to tag, as well.
im Vlogging there tonight after the helicopter 🚁 stop patrolling right now outside watching this and coming back after2yrs of break from RUclips
You are the only one documenting everyday life in 2024 LA .you have a great eye for art.You are the Huell Howser of the internet.
"only one?" Everybody's doing it.
Was a great video...very interesting segment
Rebar. Put rebar in the little hole and make a ladder (six, two feet pieces) push halfway through so you have ladder on both sides
That cop was rude no need at all
The filth... OMG. Amazing you find some beauty. Geez.
Excellent content footage of down town Los Angeles 👍GIV! ❤ Great mood and atmosphere 👌
Should print out those pictures I’m sure they would sell. Great vid again of downtown LA. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yeah. Pretty sad. This is what the News don't show you.
Thanks GIV for showing us the other side of LA everyone in Europe think LA is beautiful 🤔well you have the other side too 😢
In USA we've always known it was like this. Like the movie 'Boys in the hood'. I think foreigners believe we've always tried to hide it? But for us, it's a part of the vibe 😂
Hi Mike!
Do you ever sell those pix? If so, I'd be interested in blow-ups of the one at 17:29, the "crazy" one at 19:37, and at the very end.
thank you give 4 updating us lost angels! bless!
@2:43 *"Check this out. See this new fence. HEY step over here. get across the street!"*
Sorry, I had almost forgotten to give you a 👍. Thanks for the raw intel. It’s well appreciated.
Subscribed! Great energy! More of DTLA please!
😅I've never played the game but you my friend are a perfect caricature for they're game sub way surfers 😅!
Perfect personality.
The cops should leave GIV alone and ticket the Cybertruck driver for driving that thing in public 😂
Great video GIV. Very eye opening. 👍
Enjoy your videos GiV.😊 On the East Coast you don't see much graffiti. One time a couple was arrested for defacing rocks in a Federal Park. Soon after they were took back to clean it up. The Sunset was beautiful. You have a gift for photography. I just hope you are safe while going out.😇 Different types of people, from New York, Baltimore, DC, Shy Town and all points in between too . Of course I'm from the country, my relatives and most peoples religion was not painting but hunting. I grew up with good ole' Country Boys and Girls. Who love the land and at one point their neighbors. Unfortunately the generations have changed. It's become more of a rat race. I'm surprised Governor Newsome would let his people live in the shape. Unfortunately it's everywhere and our governments just try to sweep them under the rug. Sadly. Looking for more videos. Be safe.🌹
Clearly they haven’t seen an advertising wrap on a bus, which is also a mesh.
AMAZING VIDEO WHATS THE EXACT LOCATION OF WHERE THE TRAINS ARE AND VIEW OF DOWNTOWN LA ??? GREAT VIDEO !
I have actually enjoyed this series of you documenting these towers. It’s crazy that someone would put themselves in danger in the name of art
I believe they might be high on meth for that has had many doing crazy hard things often successfully, but meth is death if staying up too long too often.
Can't wait to get to LA. In the meantime, the GIV will be my best source!
