      I'm sure they'd be more proud if they had a job and to do that to an actual home and not be homeless.
      I hope that perspective employers see this and reach out to these people and I think that the city ought to lay off because at least they know right in front of their face they have thrown out so much talent by taking away jobs from people.
      It may not belong here but what choice did you leave them? They aren't crackheads they're not druggies and not insane they just want to live and be living decently.
      When you have a city and laws that take away those options and then they lose their job what point are they left to do anything for themselves? Well they will make do with what they have and if not then they fall.
      These are people who refused to die and take no for an answer. I'm usually against homeless people and encampments because it looks like crap these people are crap and they've been thrown away to the wayside because the system doesn't work for them.
      your system is broken. This is absolute proof that these people will not let the system break them so I give them kudos thumbs up and all the prayers in the world I hope they are as successful in getting back on their feet because damn it they deserve it that's talent don't be stupid and throw it away

      It looks like the people living there may be in the country temporarily, working and sending money home, but with no intention of staying here. They don’t seem like mentally ill/drug addicted folks (their places look too organized), but a majority of LA’s homeless have major problems. Trying to get people who are basically disabled by mental illness and/or addiction to do anything is like herding insane cats.

    Leave them people alone. Unless they’re robbing or hurting people let them be. It’s hard in this country now especially. I had a family member that died this year that was homeless. My brother asked me all the time to help him or come get him but I refused. He was in bad health yet I told him get a job or get your life together. Then one night he begged me to come get him and I didn’t . He died alone in the woods that night and wasn’t found for over a month. Now when I see homeless people it hits a little harder than it used to. My guilt overwhelms me often.

      You’ve had to learn a very tough lesson on the importance of compassion and helping others. I hope that you use the guilt and shame that you feel for allowing your own brother to die alone in the woods, to change your entire life and personality and become a kind, empathic and loving man. Try reading and/or listening on audio to the book “The Power of Now”. I hope you can change your life around. Being of service and loving others is one of the most beautiful and rewarding gifts of life. I was born into this world knowing that and I help people daily, even many strangers. It gives me great joy. May you know this joy and work to become a new man.

      The numbers are growing. I saw a news report out of Utah recommended to me about a mobile home park where people pay lot rent to keep their mobile homes. May be a rental community. They are being evicted and will be homeless to make way for low income housing that is to be built.
      In Maryville, TN, a similar situation, but I think the people being evicted there owned their older mobile homes and rented the lot space. They were given 30 days by the new landowner to move their trailers off of the property. They interviewed an older woman for that report. These are people on fixed incomes who've lived there a long time. It would be hard for anyone to up and move without prior notice in 30 days. It's even harder if you're already just trying to make ends meet. Another person commented that some companies won't transport older mobile homes, and some trailer parks won't accept them. These people have to find those who will work with them.
      I've seen many comments on RUclips recently from people who have been denied food stamp extensions and are homeless.
      One person who identified as a Tennessee storage facility manager left a comment about how they are seeing a lot of senior citizens who've lost their housing in whatever form it was and are resorting to putting their belongings in storage while they try to figure it out. I don't know where they are going, but they are trying to hold on to some of their possessions. The person said one woman and her son had nowhere to go. The manager said s/he bought them a tent, foam mattress, and a couple of chairs.
      A lot of people are struggling right now at the same time our government is paying to bring "newcomers" into the country and provide for their needs with taxpayer $$$$$$.

      And the crazy part is that people just have this in their mind that just because you don't have a mortgage or at least that you're somehow on drugs making bad decisions or don't want to work and that's not the case look at this home somebody clearly knew what they were doing. Somebody had some skills and people shouldn't be hating the other people found a way to survive in this world

    When cost of living is too high and minimums wages aren’t enough to even rent a studio apartment and immigrants get houses easier than the homeless especially if you
    Don’t meet the family median of 4, then people have to fend for themselves .
    California is a mess ,
    Been here my whole life and it’s getting worse and worse by the day with the costs of food and homes increasing and the pay rate not matching the increases ,
    Thus, the struggle that follows makes individuals result to measures that wouldn’t normally be taken . Hardworking people can’t afford to live on their own if they aren’t making six figures , it’s just too much here and it’s affecting everyone .

      That's assuming there are jobs, and that there are people who will hire them. You don't know their entire background. Also, for all you know, they actually do have a job, but the rent is so ridiculously high, they can't afford a place.
