I am driving through Berverly Hills. I could not believe my eyes how many stores are out of business on Rodeo Dr., Wilshire Boulevard and all around the city of Beverly Hills. It is super depressing even restaurants had to close down after 45 years it feels like Berverly Hills is becoming a ghost town certain streets are totally abandoned

“The government you elect is the government you deserve.”
― Thomas Jefferson
Government makes poor decisions after they are elected. Democracy is a scam when governments can do whatever they want without a democratic vote.
Best post I’ve ever read
If you really think they're "elected" as opposed to selected
@@richard9970 so true
No, the Government doesn't control a Free Market Capitalist economy. after 9/11 the economy took a nose dive and it took a while to recover. Then we had Covid Pandemic, which is another major problem, but instead of just focusing on one Country, Covid hit EVERY Country. In LA, they had the SAG boycotts so one of their biggest industries effectively shut down for many months and less people wasting money on expensive shit.
You want inflation? MANY Countries have excessively high inflation. There's other Countries that are going through the same thing we are. China has their own collapse in the real estate market.
I know the Republicans always want to blame the Democrats, but think of this. Which States are the poorest States? Republican run States. No one wants to live on those States because they have no money and are nothing but Ghost States sucking the money from the wealthy States.
America is Dying; - Beverly Hills is only small part of it..
Formula retail is dying.
Blane giv for that
Not quite, but there certainly are tumors throughout the country called liberal Utopias.
Make America sane again!
It's spreading rapidly. Hold onto your Butts.
It’s intentional… and Joe Biden is very proud of his accomplishments.
I was in Beverly Hills about a month ago, and I couldn't believe how empty and deteriorated the city was! It's a ghost town and SO many of the businesses and places that once made it special are GONE!! It's heartbreaking! 💔💔
By design. All by design.
It was never really special… just gaudy consumerism.
It is : Los Angeles judgemant day 😮
Businesses closed . . . but the streets are still full of flashy cars, going . . . . where?!?
All the celebrity diddlers left the country....
Very sad. As a former resident of BH before and during COVID, I watched the state of decline. I remember trying to drive home before getting stopped by an angry mob of people that was slowly descending into the town. Me and a few other alarmed motorists turned our cars around and hurried out. That was the first day of the infamous riots. We realized the police were powerless. I left BH and moved further west. Turns out the homeless problem is far worse the further west you go. But it's really the burglaries and robberies that are the scariest. My home was broken into twice, the second time a gunpoint. Using a firearm in the commission of a felony used to be a mandatory 'enhancement' charge but that's no longer the case. The police told me that simply breaking into my home and pointing a gun at me wasn't enough to escalate to a more serious response. Crazy thing is, we're not allowed to carry firearms in public or even in your vehicle to protect yourself. So robbers are pointing guns at shoppers in broad daylight at the local mall, or parking lot, or follow you home, and as you pull into your garage, point a gun at your face and take everything you own. Sounds like a movie, but it has been happening. So, people are rethinking going out in their fancy cars, wearing their fancy watches and jewelry and "being seen." Since BH is a town for exactly that - they are suffering quite a bit. L.A. is wild. I grew up in San Diego. We used to leave our front door unlocked! Never heard about any break ins.
But that's only part of the story. As a business owner in L.A. we are seeing a permanent transition to remote work. People aren't commuting to offices anymore, and clients aren't requiring in-person meetings, so companies are ditching their expensive leases. It's amazing how much white collar work can be done using Zoom. BH has a huge supply of offices - above all of those retail stores there are countless offices. Without people coming to the offices, there are fewer patrons running errands locally or dining in BH. Ask any retail owner and they will measure their revenue in terms of "pre-pandemic" and post-pandemic. After the pandemic, business never really picked up - so even the big staples that were there for 20+ years didn't have enough revenue to sustain themselves.
The police weren't powerless. They were held back. Remember, the police are not here to "serve and protect". That's just a nice little meme. They are the Schlägertroops for the Powerful.
Holy Cow.🐄 That's bad. 😢
There was a mass shake out
That's the neocon elite globalist. They want this. California is the prototype for the rest of the country. America needs to stand the fck up and take this country back before its too late. IT'S GO TIME FOLKS!
Wow, thanks for the report. Never knew BH was going thru all that. Darn reporters! There's so much to report on yet they don't.... All of these videos on RUclips about ghost town famous urban sites are surreal... Seattle is pretty bad too. Malls of downtown are dead: empty...
Nobody wants to invest in a place where there’s no law and order , like nobody. Nobody with any sense anyway.
Felony theft in California - $950+. Felony theft in Texas - $2,000+. Texas: weak on crime. Education is important. Read more than youtube comments.
Ridiculous Taxes
Oakland is a prime example of that. Even In-N-Out couldn't survive there.
I didn't see any graffiti in this video, so there must be at least some law and order in Beverly Hills. It seems like there is something very wrong with the economy in California. The business owners either don't want to do business there, or they can't afford to.
@@tomcollins5112 Beverly Hills must not be claimed turf by anyone yet.
High crime w no penalties. No brainer
Foolish comment, based on nothing. Stop watching FOX NEWS. Maybe the rents are too high for no reason?
It's a combination of things, I don't think it's just one thing.. The pandemic certainly didn't help. The BLM riots didn't help. The voters passing a bill making stealing under $1000 less of a crime. The fact that it's harder to attract new people to work for the police department. Property values went up too fast and the economy couldn't keep up. Less demand for super expensive crap. It's anyone's guess.

Sad but true. That's exactly what's really happening when they tell you crime is down.

The savages are adapting by going into homes now!
@@katiedoes3698 That and the Biden administration has made it OPTIONAL instead of MANDATORY for cities to report crime stats to the Federal government and so many of the top 10 most dangerous cities in America aren't reporting their crime stats and that includes Baltimore, D.C., etc. so the politicians gaslight us and say the crime rates are down - it's all smoke & mirrors folks.
I am shocked! The last time I was in Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive (10 Years ago) it still was crowded and with full Bars, Restaurants and Shops. Now it just looks like an abandoned movie-set. No people, empty tables etc. I will not travel again there and I am glad that I experienced the best time of California in the 80s for the first time as a little boy and later as an exchange student in the 90s.
No one needs overpriced retail stores when everything can just be bought online in for cheaper.
When the Beverly Hills Hotel closes then you know its really over
It'll become apartments for the homeless.
When cheesecake factory closes, it's really over. Nobody shops at stores anymore. It's easier to shop online.

De-dollarization also means decoupling from China. So, millions of "illegals' are needed as cheap labor to ramp up local manufacturing. Dedollarization also means devaluation of USD, hyperinflation, hig interst rates, lack of affordability. It also means enforcment of communist digital currency for earning and spending control (to counter hyperinflation). Party is over for not just America but for west in general.

Most of them go along with being a Democrat because if they are a republican they won't get work.
That's because our lives are flooded by a surplus of them. If you're a RUclipsr, podcaster, Instagram "model", Only fans content creator/pornstar, drug dealer, etc, etc, they're all celebrities in most people's eye. It's a very sad world.

This is happening EVERYWHERE! It’s so sad! I think Covid made people realize they didn’t need to shop at brick and mortar stores anymore and it was just easier to buy online. There is honestly no coming back from this unless the internet completely shuts down.
Covid isn’t the problem, leftism is.
Exactly. Online shopping has made these stores obsolete. People want comfort more than anything else.

There’s no country that would allow people to steal only America 🇺🇸 😅

I have had some wonderful meals and some wonderful memories from Beverly Hills. Very sad, that it’s losing many of its stores.
Hi, buddy. Thanks for the side seeing. Greetings from Deventer, The Netherlands. 🐎
I worked in Beverly Hills and Century City in 80's. It was thriving.
That was the best time....80's yes. That was around the same time when they filmed DIE HARD with Bruce Willis. The BEVERLY CENTER was once a beautiful mall as well. When they did the makeover it went to crap. Worked there in my senior high years and met so many celebrities. Yeah it will never be like it used to be. The 80's was the business (NO MORE).
Me too
I remember working in Beverly Hills in the 90’s. Still pretty busy back then.
@EllieM_Travels yes early 90's it was still happening. I left Cali in '93....The prices of things were starting to rise early. SO I BOUNCED
I wish I had met Elviscocho😢
... I am just glad having been able to experience and enjoy L.A. in the 80s and 90s.
Yeah I Bet!
Absolutely!!!!🎉
Best of times.
I loved it in the 80s myself. There was things to do 24/7…
LA was probably at it's high watermark for success in the late 1980s / early 90s, LA riot in 92 was a wake up call. Hollywood is run by greed.
The internet/online shopping is killing a lot of brick and mortar stores at first it was big box killing mom and pop shops now the big box facing a bigger threat. Commercial real estate better turn into residential really quick if they want a future because it's not coming back any time soon. Sad to see really the world's changing very fast.
Very interesting, no one wants to talk about this. Thank you for such interesting info and your sense of humour is so cute.
no one? you live under a stone? many many vids here on yt.
American culture is a very small part of the world and not all of us spend our lives on RUclips. Perhaps this is contributing factor to the degradation of America.
Chicago too. Most of stores in Michigan avenue is closed. Business can’t survive from smash and grab.
My wife and I used to love walking up and down Michigan Avenue and shopping for watches, etc. We haven't been there since 2016 and have zero plans to return any time soon.
Between the flash mobs, smash-and-grab robberies, and "peaceful" rioting with zero to little police response or prevention, we have zero desire to visit anymore.
We also used to love dining at the Drake, Swissotel, Four Seasons, and The Signature Room. We just aren't comfortable walking or driving through the area anymore. It's really sad. Wherever, and I mean wherever the people vote "blue," running a business becomes a challenge, so much so that many, if not all, business owners close or are considering closing.
Downtown Chicago looks like the 'hood.
A lot of businesses are leaving California or have left. Shoplifting on the rise because of soft on crime policies. High taxes. California is not a business-friendly state . Less tourists because of the crime, homeless problem, and increased cost of airfare,hotel rooms, and restaurants.
@MimiVerbana Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive are tourist destinations . Rich people from all over the world would shop there. Those people don't buy designer clothes from Amazon.
It's OK. They just keep spending money on ultra big stadiums, museums, advertising [LA all the time on yt for instance], and other very important things.
Exactly!!!
I KNOW I WOULDN'T SPEND 5GRAND TO GO THERE A WEEK AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! CALIFORNIA IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHY YOU ABSOLUTELY NEVER LET SHOPLIFTERS GET AWAY OR OPEN BOARDERS EVER!!! THEIR ABSOLUTELY GETTING EVERYTHING THEY DESEVE......
@@cindyfowler3526 there are problems here, no dispute about that but this is not unique to California and it's not lawless like you think it is as far as violent crime we are ranked 15th if you actually look at the statistics. As far as crime rates is worsening the information is unclear at this time. As far as open boarders' theory why don't you come on down and see for yourself if it's open or not.
Long time no see, bud! Good to see you are back! :))
We live in a digital world and it shows. Why pay for gas and parking? When you can order something online and get free shipping 😊
Ok, agenda 2030 en marcha...
I'm sorry to see this. I lived in Beverly Hills for five years within walking distance of Rodeo Drive. I knew it was only a matter of time until the rot unleashed on LA would reach Beverly Hills, but actually seeing that come true is depressing. Most people think Beverly Hills is all glitzy shops and mansions perched on high hills. It's not. I lived in "the flats" with working people who live there for a clean, well-run, low-crime city. (58% of Beverly Hills residents are renters, as I was). If even Beverly Hills has gone this far, then California is past the point of no return.
HOPE YOU LEFT THEN

The news media wants us to believe the USA economy is doing well. But we can feel and see what is happening, stores closing masses layoff, high rents, inflation, high food prices , high gas prices . The governments wants to brainwash us. But they rather send money overseas than help the American taxpayers.
Whole world,,,, same.
Pay CASH everywhere you go people, NEVER use the device or kard to pay.
Its a lie
Pisstube deleting all I say
The news only portrays one point of view in the benefit of the failing government.
It’s like this in most places. Rents are too expensive for stores to remain open. This is were city councils could help with a rebate. Once stores start to close it’s the beginning of the end. New businesses aren’t going to open on a street that is half empty.
Loved the tour!😊
I'm in LA now for work. It's really bad here. Last Monday I witnessed a fight that turned into a gun fight and I think one of the guys was killed. And tonight my co-workers car got broken into. They tried to steal it. I knew they would come back with a key so I took the fuses out. And they just came back less than an hour ago but couldn't get it. Every time I go anywhere the homeless are hassling me for money. The people drive like ass holes too, they cut you off and get mad at you like YOU did something wrong. It's filthy here and everything is so expensive. I hate LA and I used to love this place but it's changed too much. I'd get out if I was you brother.
It's a democrat state what do you expect
Yes! We went to NYC and expected what we saw in LA. You know movies and tv and all. We walked in Times Square at 2am with our kids and yes we kept them close but we actually had no fear. Pepper spray stayed in our pockets. Flew across to LA and we kept the pepper spray in one hand, an arm wrapped around the kids 100% of the time and quickly procured a safety device as we were scared for our lives. We were at the great Dolby theater and the famous Chinese Theater where it’s all glitz and glamour and saw the most terrifying people either shooting drugs or screaming at their own reflection in windows and hassling everyone for everything. Hollywood itself was how I imagine hell to look. Venice Beach we actually refer to as murder beach now. The tour bus drove away and we immediately regretted all our life choices up to that point. Holy hell how do they portray it so clean and wholesome when it’s vile, covered with needles and all the buildings were filled with stench and people doing drugs and demanding money.
Yeah. L.A. hasn't been relevant since the Sunset Strip scene died in the early 90s.
So sad
Sad.
It’s NOT just rent… it’s also crime. A ridiculous law was passed that allows people to shoplift and not be prosecuted.
With all these stores out of business also shows how many people were experiencing job loss! So sad!!!
That's only partially correct. The law says shoplifting under 950 is a misdemeanor, not a felony. They can absolutely be cited and prosecuted and given jail or even prison time. And it was a ballot proposition voted on by the people. It was not written and passed by the legislature and signed by the governor. Blame it on the people. These are the same voters who just approved a bond measure for 6-8 billion in bonds to fund mental health and housing for the homeless when the budget for next year is already short 68 billion. The voters are insane.

Our country is dying...
BH has been dying for awhile. Movie stars don’t all live there anymore, the Persian community took over since the 80s then they were replaced by Arabs. Slowly the great luxury shops closed. The black lives matter riots were a turning point. The riots showed Los Angeles residents on local TV that the police just stood by while rioters smashed and looted parts of LA like Melrose Ave with impunity. It was a shock to the system. So-called restorative justice, which really means no more law and order, began, vagrants all over the country learned you could camp out anywhere in LA and not be bothered, so that population exploded. Then the Covid lockdowns put the nails in the coffin, and growing lawlessness drove out many residents and businesses. We will not see the vibrant Los Angeles and grand Beverly Hills again in our lifetimes. RIP LA. RIP Beverly Hills. So, so sad.
💯. Really miss the vibrancy and mystique that was BH. Every time I pass thru there now it has worsened. Interesting that Saks moved into the old Barney’s building. Knew they we’re have financial issues with that gorgeous Saks building and its old school shopping vibe. Too much negativity to fathom.
Quit blaming BLM. You make no mention of large companies leaving for texas or overseas etc and you dont even mention the effects the beer bug caused.

That’s because they revealed who they always were during the plandemic. Propaganda puppets tasked with socially engineering the populace in the direction that the establishment wants. They alll pushed govt propaganda all plandemic long. I tuned the F out and avoided the experimental injections like the plague. I was particularly disgusted when Rage Against the Machine had a vaccine requirement for their concerts
. Rage. AGAINST. The. MACHINE.
Unbelievable.
They’re about to crash our currency, bring on the CBDC and put us all in a digital prison with social credit scores. They don’t need the celebrity puppets anymore.
True, I haven’t been to a movie theater since 2007. It leaves me wondering if they’re still making new movies nowadays.

That's not true there's a lot of hip bars and restaurants that have now opened post covid in Hollywood taking advantage of great leases and cheap rent
Im from England and so many shops throughout our country are exactly the same. Seems to be everywhere. Really sad.
It's all because of Putin hahahaha
Indonesian mall is dying too especially the hypermarket
Many goes online
Blame the internet, everyone purchases online now. People don't even have to leave their homes to go on a shopping spree. It's a sad state of affairs.

I visited Santa Monica in 2016 and it wasn't like this then. It was beautiful, a very lively place. Very friendly people. Lots and lots of stores, lots and lots of restaurants, beach was full of people during the day and the early evening, there was a small amusement park with rides and a ferris wheel on the pier. After about 11pm when everything closed, I stayed around on the street and I remember feeling so warm, so safe and like it was such a nice area. I didn't feel scared at all feeling alone on the street at night. It's so sad seeing what's happened to Santa Monica and I can't understand why it's been allowed to happen, not at all. Santa Monica was a beautiful place, it had to be one of the best places to go in LA. I do think a big part of what contributed to it is the way tourists are treated in LA. LAX is a horrible airport, it's honestly one of the worst airports I've been to, not the worst one (that would have to be Sharjah in the UAE) but it is definitely one of the worst. I remember the staff weren't particularly helpful, it was a very old, very big and very confusing airport, and the worst thing about it was the lack of public transport options. No airport train or monorail or MTR, which is incomprehensible for a city the size of LA. There was an option to take a bus to Union Station, and an option to take a minibus that left once every hour either to Venice Beach or to Santa Monica. I chose the minibus service. There was a notice on board the minibus service stating that it was being discontinued I believe as of October that year, meaning a city with already very few public transport options out of the airport for tourists would have even fewer (basically the bus to Union Station would be left and that'd be about it). They did have rental car services, but that wouldn't work for tourists like me who didn't drive/didn't have a credit card and were only in LA for a few days. From what I remember, there were plenty of passengers on board the minibus I took out to Santa Monica too, so it's not like nobody was using it. Just sheer greed and cutting corners. Places like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Venice Beach and Hollywood are (or at least were) extremely popular with tourists. Tourists have money. If you don't maintain these places and you treat the tourists like crap and you undermine businesses' authority when they're trying to deal with thieves, what do you expect? Look at Singapore for example. Look at their airport, their crime policies, their public transport, their services. They have problems but they don't have crap like this.
I live in Berkeley, CA and can say that a similar situation exists in many California cities: San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Diego, ...
Yep. There’s a RUclipsr who is doing an entire series of videos of Bay Area cities and neighborhoods where businesses have left. ):
Sounds interesting
Keep voting Democrat, and watch things get worse!
Santa Monica is so dangerous now. My husband and I went last summer. Couldn’t believe the homelesss. I feared for my life. I meant transient not homeless. They are on drugs. ( edited) sorry for any confusion. Santa Monica is one of most unsafest cities listed in California now.
So sad!
Been like that since I lived there in the 80s
I lived in Santa Monica and then in Beverly Hills from 2003 to 2012, and it was a vibrant and busy and safe area. There were no homeless people. No vacant stores. Venice was even blowing up. I went back last year to Santa Monica and was *shocked* at how many stores were for lease, how dead the area was, and all the homeless tents and people all over the place. It is unbelievable. My impression from when I had lived there was that the place would continue to grow and thrive and that property values would continue to rise and I thought Venice would have turned into something more like Santa Monica by this time, but wow, was I wrong.
@@KenAndersonMD Youre drunk. I was in santa Monica 2010-2012 and the homeless issue was always there. Youre a doctor. Rich People Are Blind
Reaganimics. The trickle down never happened
Stores are closing due to a widening divergence between of high rent and lower disposable income of the public. Not hard to figure out.
Lived up the hill in Hollywood Hills for 25 years there has always been vacant stores in Beverly Hills for the last 15 years. But there is less offices in BH.
The internet killed everything. Everything is viewed online, ordered online, and today is also lived online. Celebrities don't go out like they used to, and the average person doesn't have the money to afford all those restaurants, expensive boutiques, hairdressers...
Today, people look online for recipes to cook dinner at home, people search online how to cut their own hair, people watch online youtubers how they sleep in a camper, not in Beverly Hills.
You are correct!! I was thinking the same exact thing this morning .
The internet just exposed that the USA is a shithole and scam. Shitmerica is just a jobs program to be constantly ripped off by suburban middlemen. I'd rather watch a youtuber in a camper than support insurance agents, bankers, car dealers, govt bureaucrats, landlords.......
Exactly. plus this COVID thing has changed a lot for retail and other work.
No you are so wrong. Looting stores made them close all the stores. But you guys want to blame Internet so that you don't hurt your own reality denial
No, it's just the American lifestyle. Go to any European city and you'll actually encounter pedestrians en masse. Here, lots of cars, scant foot traffic. Cities are dead. Unsafe, expensive, little to do there.
I lived in L.A. for 44 years on and off, including in Beverly Hills for 10 of them. I hate to say it, but almost the second after Beverly Hills got ransacked in the 2020 riots, and then the same crowd inexplicably started piling into Beverly Hills every weekend and turning it into "the Shaw" of the 80's and 90's, Beverly Hills lost its mystique. Four years later, and videos like this are possible? It's not coincidence. It's that, and the L.A./CA political idiocy that has done this. Their own policies backfiring on CA businesses.
Bh retail vacancy rate is 5.3
Try again
What is "The Shaw" of the 80s and 90s?

I had no idea.
This is a bad sign for the rest of the country. It would be better if Beverly Hills became like a Monaco 🇲🇨. A separate country like in Europe. It would probably be fine.
All good things must come to an end. The next thing you know ...Beverly Hills is taken over by the unfortunate homeless. Wouldn't that be something! Where will those "untouchable-I am better than you" big shots go?
Be wary folks, your decadent time is running out.
Thanks my German friend. Keep up the good reporting.
Television shows depicts Beverly Hills as “best of the best” stores but this is “cold hard facts” of the retail industry. Amazon is “Rodeo Drive”
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED!!! Everything that the stores don’t have you can get online.
Finally someone got it right
Where is an online competitor for Amazon already? There's gotta be right wing investor multimillionaires who want to put some money in an e commerce site. I'm not giving my money to a company that supports gender reassignment surgery for children!
Not only luxury goods. They also buy cat litter, laundry detergent, kindling (i'm not kidding), mouthwash, light bulbs etc. Really generic stuff that they could get locally.
yep thats 60% of it, all retail is dieing all over the world thanks to Jeff bezos (aka Zorg) from The Fifth Element
Not good for restaurants since Newsom decided $20 an hour was a great idea. Plus since crime is legal in California there's no
interest in opening in that city or any city in the state. Thanks for taking the walk. They won't be back.
At Newsom's restraunts, one in Lake Tahoe they only pay $16 an hour.

The martyr who claims he is for the people. Lets increase the mim wage so corp businesses will increase price and the mom and pop shop will collapse. AI is what he created and it is on purpose. Especially a place like CA that has many migrant workers in places that are corp run like fast food restaurants. Already there is massive layoff in these places. Gavin is as disgusting as these places that have more money than god but their greed is more important. At the end of the day, corp policy for a company to make more money is a decision any company owner has a right to do but when a head of state makes a policy to destroy the lower or middle class worker that is what we call the fake liberal
Tell me how workers gonna live in California with lower pay? You want them living outside restaurant in a cart box.
WTF! Since you can ruin a car factory, get bailed out and the outgoing CEO is being rewarded in ruining the business with 22 M USD ask yourself WHAT is causing this downfall. The USA is a non market ecomomy intervening on behalf of a few big corporations and punishing small businesses or even tax payers if they can't pay their taxes or mortgage to end up on the street. And there goes Fed.Reserve boss Yellen to teach China that they are doing wrong by producing too much cheap goods. What the heck this world has turned into. China has a market economy and the USA has converted to Socialism.
Remember the phone ads when they started saying now you can talk to your friends overseas now you can talk to each other far away you don't have to worry about it or guess what that's exactly what happened people moved away from each other physically and mentally everybody is torn apart by the economics and the technology

Walk through any mall & its practically empty. I remember the days when the mall was filled with people shopping. Those days are long gone🥺
Well, what happened to all those zombies ?
Amazon, online shopping.
Funny, not in the malls I walk through here in Los Angeles.kinda crowded.
I'm sorry but you are wrong, In the Carolinas the mall parking lots are full. The restaurants are busy AND store theft is not out of control. Gas is around $3/gallon. The news makes you as if everything is out of control everywhere in America but this is not true.
Some economies are overheated (Miami, NYC, CA) and others are not.
well almost everybody are doing their shopping online now
I visited California last year, the only civilized and non-filthy place in L.A.was Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Santa Monica were shocking, full of homeless on Fentanyl and garbage everywhere, hanging around between Monaco, Dubai and St.Moritz I couldn’t find any”glitz & glamour” even on Rodeo Drive; I was wondering how long would take Beverly Hills to fall dawn as well.

Not necessarily.
That's an illusion and Stereotype. Fame is very fleeting.
It's the same in London, the crazy thing is that we have a situation where there is a lack of affordable housing and at the same time all this empty retail and office space. When you think about all the money tied up in commercial property and how that is amplified by derivatives and credit default swaps, there is a catastrophic financial crash just around the corner.
People say "Retail is dying". But you can go to a country like Australia and the malls are absolutely thriving. They are still building multi story malls across the country.
The difference is you go to jail in Australia for shoplifting and for being anti social in public.
For being not social lol 👷♀️👷♀️👷♀️

San Diego is not like LA or the Bay Area. We never went woke or defunded our police or allowed shoplifting. Tourism is back to 2019 levels and there are now strict anti-camping laws banning homeless from setting up tents and shelters anywhere near parks, schools and many other areas. They cannot refuse alternative shelter if offered either.
Great video...tks...
Some people have the magic touch
this video shocked me. i spent many saturday mornings with my family at Nate'N Als,then would stroll around shopping. i mean we werent going to Bijan, but there were lots of interesting stores like gearys and cloths stores. I would say this was around the late 70's and the early 80's. beverly hills was great then. i now live in las vegas, so this video was the first i have seen beverly hills in probably 20/25 years

Wow! I was a USPS letter carrier in Beverly Hills back in the early to mid nineties. I did the Bedford and Rodeo drive routes often as a relief carrier. It's an absolute shell of what it once was. When i transferred out in 96 to be closer to home, most of the old, big name Stars had all passed on by that time. Many lived on both Bedford and Rodeo just across Santa Monica Blvd from downtown. Yes, used to be many doctor and law offices on Bedford. Would see many celebrities coming and going from those offices. To be able to live in Beverly Hills then wasn't impossible, especially in the one two, that's 90212 south of Wilshire. You could actually rent a house there for 3k a month, I almost rented a 3k sq ft condo across the street from the BHPO on Maple Dr for 2200 a month , would have lived right around the corner from Edgar Winter. Most of the people that can afford to live there now, probably can't afford to shop there or do want to. I'm sure it's very expensive to live anywhere around there now. BH was an extension of Hollywood then, Hollywood is in hospice and dying and so BH will probably die with it. It's been said the commercial real estate market in California is very big trouble and might even bring down the banks with it.
Excellently said, the post man knows; they see everything.
Sounds Great ,,, Civil War Was Started Over Banking !!!!!!!
As Obangutang himself said - electing democraps has consequences!
What has also hurt is BH has lost exclusivity on many of the stores there today. Other American cities have grown up (Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Miami, etc.) so there is no need to be in BH, let alone online shopping. The aura of hollywood also has been washing away so people care less about celebrities nowadays. I wish I could have seen this place in its glory days though. Must have been nice
@@Guerilla281 Yep
E commerce has also made a big difference to retail trade now people sit at home on the PC and order product that gets dropped on their home door step, all at the expense of the retailers who pay premium rents and overheads. this is a world wide shift in shopping
Wow! So surprising this has so much damaged the reputation of Beverly Hills. Rodeo drive I used to shop there years ago. I used to have a friend working at Gucci and Burberry his name is Michael Isreal. He does not work in Rodeo anymore. He works now in downtown New York. 💚🙂
My parents proudly left California in 1995... Best decision for our family ever.
it happens all over america kid, people buying stuff online rather then going in person and stuff being expensive especially in california because everyone wants to live here. so they can't afford to keep their shop especially in a rich area like beverly hills
so yea
My late husband and I left in 2003. We closed down our business and 46 people lost well paying jobs with full benefits. There is now an apartment complex where our business used to be.
Then they missed out on 400% profit of selling their house. 😂😂😂😂 idiots.
It's a shame what has happened to southern California. I grew up there but left for Texas 25 years ago and haven't looked back. I still have family there that struggle to make it with some of them finally leaving, but others clinging on. The weather is beautiful, I love the beaches and mountains, but the politics are poison ☠️

No one needs a $2,000 purse.
No sympathy for people like that. They can bulldoze the whole block of overpriced stores
Shoplifting and online shopping is destroying retail. Not surprised at all. The economy is rubbish, people are careful with spending and just buy what they need and shop around for the best price.
right? who can afford the type of things they are selling but a bitch Kardashian or a real house wife?
I don't believe folks shopping in Beverly Hills were looking for bargains. Until now, you willl not find a Dollar Store on Santa Monica Blvd in BH. It is not online shopping that is the cause in this community.
