NBC4 now finds that the problem is as bad as ever, making the City of Angels the City of Trash. Joel Grover reports for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020. Read more here:

And guess whose District that is Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Walters they're doing a bang-up job aren't they
lynn Entler too focused on pocketing money.
Let's not forget Adam Sciff
Want to clean up Los Angeles? Start with City Hall.
Start by voting for Republicans. You know how it was back in the days when CA was the State to live in.
True, thats where you find the biggest rats.
Very clever. Well done. Naming the elephant in the room.
@ Ahh, good memories of Uncle Ronnie.
@ Republicans? Like Bush? Who voted for Iraq War? Like Joe Biden?
People are paying thousands a month to live next to homeless people
it's that one kid thank your crooked greedy landlord investor. Money above life is not the way.
@@wordsunheard2383 absolutely
Seems like the homeless have the right idea.
🐀....
Man In The Arena
pathetic?? Lol. Stupid, not pathetic
Politicians need to stop stuffing their pockets with money meant for helping homeless!!
Why dont they pay some of the homeless people to clean it up and load it in dump trucks?
Then they could work their way out of being homeless.
Not a bad idea
Really good idea!! Its seems like the poor staying poor is still on the agenda for discussion.
That makes too much sense.
@NothingWild it’s not the governors neighborhood covered in trash so he doesn’t care
Pay the Homeless to pick up the trash. THIS REALLY TERRIBLE
Where are all of those rich celebrities that love to tell everyone else how to live?
Telling you what to do from gated communities, stupidly large houses with tall fences, with armed guards.
Very. We'll. Said
California has a wealth gap that would embarrass most Republicans.
They live in Malibu
Who has told you how to live?
Los Angeles now has the makings of a third-world city.
You mean a third world country.
It depends on which third world country you're talking about , some are better and some are worse .
They’ve been making these news stories for years and nothing has changed
@utubegirl the liberals aren't evil??? Are you dumb deaf and bind??!! Sheesh, you must have no human DNA! Straight demon!
And in fact, it's getting worse.
Oh yeah they cant do crap they just talk
Yeah! The guy saying to close the open areas, now made a sign that says. " its not safe, Mental illnes is everywhere " not word for word but thats the same guy! Its 2022 of December now ...
IKR. And we all thought that by bringing this to everyone's attention, that is how change is done. Not here. BTW, this is becoming the norm here in San Francisco too.
Hollywood...where they’ll pay $1000 for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul... :( i think Marilyn Monroe said that.
Its evil that creeps everywhere, and this is it becoming visable. The pain, the abuse, and turmoil looking back at you. . .
We are paying the most taxes out of all the states but yet we live in all these filth. 😑
Going higher. That's how socialism works. Raise taxes to steal wealth, force the masses onto government subsidies like slaves, and thus having a voter base forever to retain power.
That's the Democrat way.
bryle smith I’m dieing laughing at your comment some of you guys on here is way to much I’m laughing so much I’m crying but hey stop paying you’re taxes ...I would not pay taxes to living in filth and rats walking all over down town
Dude elect some republicans, just try it
I don’t live in California!!!!!
It's the Year of the Rat. Unfortunately, rats here have been celebrating Chinese New Year early. :/
🤣😂😂
That is funnyyy
😻lolol 🐁😷🐀
roachtoasties what you don’t make sense. Chinese New Year was pass a couple weeks ago
Mlao
Where the hell is pelosi now???? That’s her State
She could care less!!
Shes in her mansion sleeping peacefully while the drug addicts leave needles everywhere
James Barton lamp out of all the comments you are so hilarious yeah Pelosi is hiding she isn’t in the spotlight on television acting like she knows what she is talking about ...
Yeah we need to put her on the streets live exactly like this where is her running mouth ...why isn’t Pelosi helping she always wants to be on television...when she could be in her home town helping out and cleaning the trash....
At home with her $30k refrigerator
"Its hard for me, but worst for them." Wtf? They made that trash.
Heavy drug use and mental is the root cause. These are the result.
Exactly. He doesn’t think they’re the problem. He’ll probably blame the rats before the homeless people that brings the problems lol. Typical Californian thinking.
@@jrs6770 Maybe the rats are Republican? Think I'm kidding? The Olympic mental gymnastics liberals are capable of are truly staggering. Oh well, let them stew in their self-imposed hell.
They need to have some dumpsters there to put the trash into,
And the dumpsters need to be emptied often enough.
That would help alot.
Everybody has garbage. No getting around it.
The more people, the more garbage and the more dumpsters needed.
Wokeness answer.
They keep electing the same people.
What do they expect to happen?
If they want change, it starts at the ballot box.
You get what you vote for.
Selections not elections.....voting is a myth
NOT WHEN THEY CHEAT.
You're an idiot to think that there are fair elections in L.A. You have no voting rights. You never did.
If that mess was anywhere near the precious politicians homes you wouldn’t be seeing this
Where is Pelocy , Adan and Maxine they are busy impeaching Trump
oziel1971 and living fancy in their enclosed gated mansions comfortably...
You both are right the all 3 need to be locked away
What is trump doing. Oh wait he taking vacations and what not....that's alot of help...
They don't care about the mess they caused.
Exactly they are focused on the wrong rats
Mayor Garcetti NEEDS TO GO. And be banned from the whole state!!!
Garcetti really thought he sounded like he was doing something 😂😂😂😂
Plagues will become rampant in LA people living there should be really concerned.
The people creating this mess expect others to clean up after them, and then they put their hands out for more free needles.
Well, when you treat certain people like trash, guess what you get in return...
In more civilized parts of the world these people would get the help they needed to get off the streets, LA won’t even provide proper sanitation for them... where do you expect the trash to go?
well said
Yeah basically you really cant do enough for the homeless in LA because they want more and more.
@@Negativespace95 yeap
Don't judge. You might just find yourself there one day.
I see the "black death" will soon be making a come back.
Yup
It already started back in April. I work with the homeless. I see them everyday. The bulbonic plague is going to hit it LA extremely hard once hospitals are overwhelmed.
Outbreaks of bubonic plague occur now and then in the USA, mostly when tourists in the southwest come in contact with prairie dogs. Also, armadillos are known to be carriers of leprosy bacteria. Look it up.
It never left technically. There's been quite a few cases since the 60s I believe. I heard they quarantined a section of Forrest in norcal recently. A lot of celebrities are leaving, and/ or talking about leaving. Probably look like mad max 2 by the end of 2021
Good
I live in Los Angeles. Yup definitely true I drive down the 101 freeway everyday and see this garbage every day. I love you California your my home but you’ve turned from the California republic to the homeless republic. Growing up Los Angeles was never this dirty, now LA is just getting worst. Even in the valley it’s becoming more noticeable.
SSG Fernandez Indeed my friend from Socal to the Valley all the way up here to Norcal. The whole state is dirty even the small towns are infested.
Greed is what got this city & the whole country in this bind. In L.A. the rent is too high, buying a home is high, & wages are too low. Some of those homeless people have a mental problem or a drug problem. It's way too many people living on the streets. In another video someone stated that " there's no money in helping homeless people ". The people I'm more concerned about are the elderly & disabled. After March there will probably be more homeless people the Gov't is cutting section 8.
@@hedehodo3094 The street people are mostly Americans, Mexicans work and live in apartments.
Dominique Hardie
That’s why it rare to find us Los Angeles natives, a lot of us move for the reasons you just stated.
You should be taking this into account when you Vote Homeless are not the problem the government and city officials are
It’s a wild idea, but spayed and nurtured cats can take care of some of the rats.
AMERICA IS BROKEN, WHEN THE HOMELESS ARE FORGOTTEN.
Hey Garcetti you should resign !
That's a good idea...how about some feathers and some tar..maybe be gentle with some bees wax...and run him out I of town...wasted millions. Now there is more homeless,more trash, alcohol drugs and lotsa rats be nice huh? Hey...if the Corona virus starts out there in a homeless encampment... gonna see lots of dead bodies.!
Juls they’re all the same, if Garcetti resigns there’s another who’s possibly worse next in line. They all think the same. Educated idiots.
I see the Democratic housing plan is in full effect.
Living in California turned me into a conservative, after being a liberal for most of my life
@Grody Locks he grew up and found himself. Democrats are ruining this country, California is clear proof of that
DEMOCRATS care more about immigrants then BLACK American CITIZENS
@@kingrollo8199 whont your people immigrants . latins where in u.s. before whites and africans yall are the illegals dummy
Well, you're one of the few that it happens to. Most just become harden democrats without seeing how they are the problem.
Nope all drugs are decriminlized in los angeles. Unless you slinging it its a misdemenor. Like doing graffiti.
Welcome to California; solidly Democratic Party governed.
"Typhus is unacceptable in my city" thanks, mayor obvious.
i will never complain about NYC again. NYC is heaven compared to LA.
NY’er living in LA and please never complain. LA is way more dirty than NY!!
So true! I say this as a tourist from the UK..... I couldn't believe how nice and clean NY was! I think I saw 1 homeless person- that's it! I then went to West Coast- LA- and couldn't believe it was so down and dirty; I was expecting to see all glitzy and shiny streets, people dressed really well, safe streets. Not a bit of it.....
Genuinely shocked!
@@ToriUptown Doesn't New York have a bigger rat problem than Los Angeles ?
@@curlyfry30492 million well fed rats in NYC
Mayor eric garcetti bad bad bad for city of angels......true bad. 2020 now.
Maybe put dumpsters around so the ones that want to keep it clean can have something to throw trash into..pick it up when full
But how does Hollywood preach to the rest of country?
Those 800 billionaires you have are really helping out I see.
They could help everyone
m.ruclips.net/video/63WeY7FRfQ0/видео.html
The money that was distributed could have paid every family in the US 10,000??
Well it goes to taxes guess who is charge of that if only we have a little less government control
It's not billionare's job to help out. Our corrupt politicians are supposed to use the funding to find housing and enforce vagrancy laws. People with the welfare mentality always expect somebody to pay for something they're not even responsible for.
The Unfadeable I am making a point about how extreme wealth is in America. It's sad that so few have so much and millions in your country live on the streets, are in prison, get food stamps and live in poverty.
Stay out of Texas, you made this mess deal with it!
Brian Pumper come and try it
Those are not rats ..those endangered indigenous Hollywood mascots. our Pets. .🐀
Imagine this mixed with coronavirus..
You dont have to imagine anymore huh
Homeless population , and diseases like Typhoid and Corona Virus .. Also the threat of a major Earthquake , High taxes..Smog , dirty streets and pollution
So many issues and problems in Los Angeles county
Yuck
Ultimate combo
The future that Gavin Newsom wants 💪🏻
My house is for sale. Leaving California ASAP. COVID delayed the sale of my house. Worst timing ever.
Wife retires in 8/21 and we are getting the hell out of here!!!!!!!!
pigjubby1 congrats.
Arizona
yo momma full of Mexicans like LA.
@@techguylos213 we retired in Arizona from California and no tent cities!!!!Simply not tolerated!Clean streets!Booming economy and building boom everywhere
Skid Row Estates
You may get more Corona-Virus China escapees added on the waiting list.
I don't like Skid Row Estates. That's where all the snobby rich homeless people live.
This problem will never go away because the city leaders aren’t doing enough!
All they doing is pocketing all the money while tax payers pay higher taxes
Stop blaming the city leaders. Close the shelters and soup kitchens and stop the handouts and you'll see these people get off their asses and get jobs
This is shameful on all accounts. Los Angeles never used to be like this. I fear that Los Angeles has now become a foregone conclusion.
i dont feel bad at all they keep voting in the same people expecting things to change
Best comment of the day.
put them in those expensive vacant hotels and the mansions of the stars
At some point we’re going to have treat these people like adults who made bad decisions instead of victims.
Not all but most.
Crazy thing is everywhere else in the world you pull this you going to die quickly. No handouts or empathy
We Win it necessarily. Pretty much every other country having the same problems with lazy people.
Agreed, the majority are lazy drug addicts who just don’t want to work. After high school I found 103 jobs in 3 hours.
We Win true, I feel bad for some people because some homeless are justified good people who are down on their luck but the majority are human garbage.
**City of Filth**
The whole area looks like an episode of 'The Walking Dead Meet The Hoarders.....*
You're going to have a public health crisis that your Hospitals will not be able to handle...
well with shopping centers every square foot with everyone trying to pinch every last penny out of you and shoving you out to the curb when you're 'spent', you could see where I'm going with this.
Might be time to hold those in charge accountable.
THIS HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE NOT FROM CALIFORNIA... WHY NO BODY TALKS ABOUT THAT ISSUE...WHY WHY.. ???😒😒😒😒
@HahThatsWhatSheSaid youre fkn kiding .. right...???😳😳😳😳😳😳
It seems a multitude of mental hospitals need to opened up again. Development of several low-income, drug free complexes/apartment buildings. The mayor is stacking the money, that can very well be contributed to these resources. The tax alone in California can be contributed to helping the homeless epidemic. There is NO REASON that people are working 2 & 3 jobs and housing is so unaffordable. This is why poor people become desperate and commit crimes. If being incarcerated guarantees a better outcome of life, than something in the system is crooked!! Californian government is an atrocity to it’s civilians. I’m starting to see California as the near future dystopian predecessor of this country.
There’s a couple reasons why there’s so much homeless on the streets. First reason is because rents high, Second drugs third most of the homeless don’t want the help. They just wanna live free sounds dumb right but it’s the truth. Coming from a person that was homeless seen how much there is help out there that people provide for homelessness. But there just the ones who don’t care and the ones that got to hooked on drugs they just wanna do the drug more then they want the help. Just saying homelessness is a choice if they wanted to get out of being homeless they would get the help.
David Shawn I grew up in small town in NorCal where you used to see a few homeless people. They were elderly and everyone knew them and give them a hand once in while because they were elderly. And it breaks my heart seeing how bad it has got. Soooo many young people homeless doing drugs. Not wanting to work theres excuse no on why not working. Now a days there’s tons of work out there! I was working at 14 and by 17 I had two jobs and going to school. So no excuse for being homeless I know people can go through a tough time but people who are willing to get out of it will.
My birthfather has been homeless by his own choice for many years. He likes to drink alcohol and panhandle instead. Proudly told me he holds cardboard all day for liquor. Sorry but I don’t have sympathy for most homeless.
Where is help for housing them outside of shelters which is a short term fix?
@Chabbaquq Yahudah Yahisreal land where? Developed or undeveloped? Homeless are usually cash strapped...how will they move? What about rent/mortgage payments will government provide?
@@sunniesublime1 You have a limited view as to why people are homeless. I was homeless twice in the last three years while dealing with breast cancer. I tried to get help and the social services head stationed IN the cancer care unit of the hospital did not do much at all. She helped men more from what I could see and she preferred to talk to the drs and nurses more than I saw here help people. I have dogs. So I had to survive and deal with homelessness and do my cancer treatment to KEEP MY DOGS. Which I still have, and not I am not homeless. There are lot of reasons people are homeless besides alcohol or drugs. And to those who say I should have given up my dogs, I had less reason to want to try hard or live if I lost them. The opposite, that would have broken me completely.
Los Angeles needs to clean those streets everyday..............
No, they just need to clean out the trash one time. But get it all. Trash and trasher.
@@overout429 These peoples items on the streets is not trash, it has value to them.
Damn!! Rats in the daytime?? time to throw LA away not even San Fran is that bad
I seen rat at a restaurant
Garcetti should relinquish 1 years salary until he fixes the problem... even Trump was gracious enough to donate his salary to vets.
Just wait until the rent is due. These numbers are small compared to what's coming.
Um, is this not how the plague started? Being homeless is one thing, this is just being lazy and nasty.
Paul Lopez Agreed!
People should vote for a republican representative to fix these states.
Gelo Pamintuan agree. I live in Austin and it’s starting to look like LA with all the homeless people and trash everywhere.
Gelo Pamintuan doubt that would help much either way don't choose sides randomly
@@gregoryreyes9941 it's just the nature of large cities, no matter who runs them.
Greenville Observer Word on the street is Dallas and Houston put their homeless people on a Greyhound bus and send them to Austin. It’s becoming a sanctuary city for them.
WHAT would they do? Jobs went south and over seas because the cost of living keep going up and income wasn't and when the working class complained the jobs went to countries where you can paid a $5 a day versus $15-$25.
To solve homeless problem is to STOP HIGH RENT!!!!
3 years ago Supply and demand.
3 years ago its only gonna get worse ....nothin gos down only up
3 years ago all about greed and its shameful. Everyone is responsible for this.
I say theres not one answer because theres not just one problem. I fill like 98% of homeless are mentally I'll and or drug users.
3 years ago deport the immigrants and free up housing and jobs.
This is a city of true democracy
It’s a sad reality, I remember growing up in LA and the homeless population was nothing compared to now. It only continues to grow
WHY HAS THIS BEEN ALLOWED TO GET BIGGER EVERY YEAR!!-
Because people keep electing Democrats.
The price of housing goes up 50 times but your paycheck goes up 2 times...
LA: We got Trash, Rats, and Homeless
New York: Welcome to the Party (Pop Smoke Voice)
You can thank city council and the mayor for not enforcing our laws
Seriously....this is a national disgrace.
Humans should not be living in this kind of filthy disgusting conditions.
The government should take care of the people. It's their duty.
Democrat Run the City a messs
it's always been a mess,republican or democrat. it's a large city problem. Plus homless like to be where it's warm
@@greenvilleobserver9431 no it's never been Republican ran. Republicans run from it.
@@greenvilleobserver9431 I'm a 13th gen Floridian. It's warm all over the state and the only place with lots of homeless is south Florida which is democrackhead run . Sooo what's the point you're trying make. Facts ain't racist they facts.
@Galaxia X looks like utube censors my comments to you. I'll just say open your eyes. Because you're 100%. Wrong and everything you have been taught is a lie. Research stuff not through Google.
Send them to Pelosis mansion
Mark Belmonte yeah that’s exactly where they should send them right in front of Pelosi house camp out bring all the trash and don’t for get to fill your bags with rats
Send them to Mar-A-Lago instead.
@booboo thefool the democrats are responsible for California’s mess not trump Lmao
@@Coconutvr164 That's the one, with armed private security. Law enforcement on speed dial lmao
El Flamas I’d rather have them at Mar a Lago. 😄👊🏻🤫
Ok why is everyone acting like its the city's fault for not picking up the trash fast enough maybe if the homeless people wernt bringing all the trash and piling it all maybe there wouldn't be such a big problem.
It is the city's fault. Who do you think is making the decisions for the city ordinances that allow these situations arise?
$$$$ Million dollar homes in Los Angeles? That has got to be the funniest joke ever!!!
0:46 this is the kinda guy to get fed up with conditions, yet, move to another state or county and vote for *THE SAME POLITICIANS*
There are lapd officers on youtube saying feeding and coddling homeless co tribute to this."lapd skidrow"
Are you sure that's Los Angeles ? That looks like Los Ratas to me.
Only if rent wasn’t so expensive in LA🤦🏻♂️
1200$ a month for a damm single ..
Slaxive sounds about right lol, a lot of people leaving to Arizona and Texas.
Then move somewhere else.
If only you didn't vote Democrat.
Thats about same price in Massachusetts.
I'm from San Jose California and I miss it very much. I lived in one house for 19.5 years paying $1100 per month. The few years I've been gone, that rent is now $2920 per month.
All those people complaining about how filthy it is should do some volunteer work to help clean it up.
Freaks me the hell out.watching rats running around!!
Mayor hasn’t done jack. With getting homeless housing their are no resources.
In SanDiego once a week on a particular day at say 10am the city has informed the homeless they MUST move from the street. Anything left will be thrown away. The city then throws away everything left behind, then sanitizes the street and sidewalk. Homeless are then allowed back and it happens again every week.
When I was a kid a believed California would eventually sink into the ocean. I still kinda hope it does.
The San Andreas fault line is where the break will occur.
I'm now 60, and pray for that to happen daily. Phoenix could be beachfront property!!
Your kid self was kinda funny tho
amazing how they are untouched by covid.
Where does all the [tax] money go?
Show me the money.....
to politicians pockets thats where
L.A. needs a WW1 flamethrower 🔥🔥 to fix’s this issue! Lol
This is soooooo sad, it makes me sick
Makes me feel better about Philly, thanks LA.
And there are lots of empty state properties that have been available for years but the city won't consider those properties for the home.
Where do y'all expect these people to go? This is what happens when you obliterate the middle class
Homelessness will never end in America. Start with that understanding, then work to mitigate the effect on people with and without housing.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and lived on Spring Street downtown before leaving for good.
Those people need to stop doing drugs and get a job
They joys of sanctuary cities and ineffective government! You can keep it!
That's shameful and sad.
IS A SHAME TO SEE LOS ANGELES CITY LIKE THAT. PLEASE MAYOR OR GOVERNOR DO SOMETHING SHOULD WE START CALLING NOW CITY OF TRASH LA
Shameful
And disgusting as well.
Last time I checked, I-10 eastbound is WIDE open, LEAVE
I am. Just waiting for wife to retire.
@@pigjubby1 can't do it any other way?
Your comment shows your lack of compassion and comment sense. You say "just go"! What do the millions of people like me do? I've lived here 78 years with two parents in their late 90's that need my EVERYDAY care and have to live in an assisted care facility? Do we all just pick up and and move out? Do we just start a new life somewhere else? Your flippant, uncaring attitude is offensive on so many levels.
@@dynodon331 Actually, my statement of fact DRIPS with compassion and common sense !
Yes, quit complaining and start MOVING !!!
That's pretty good- you calling yourself a drip and all....
"Investigative" reporting, literally just walking down a street
What about hoarders, i work in a suburb that I won’t mention and nearly every 2nd house is a hoarder, even though there not homeless there absolutely filthy
Why aren’t we hearing about homeless dying of corona all over the place?
The homeless are too healthy
The Devil's Advocate lol
Human size rat traps baited with heroin and alcohol ? I don't know,, just trying to think of solutions.
John Hepbean 🤣🤣
The cockroaches would bite me and the rats would crawl on my sleeping bag. I had to create a secure cardboard box.
Thank goodness I don’t live in California, and I would no way in hell ever do so, California dreams have turned into a California nightmare that 34-40 million Americans underestimated long ago.
This is what you get when you create a safety net for people to not be responsible . There are plenty of people willing to just exist if you give them the means to do so.
L.A been like this for years
So why you let ot happen?
