- CNN's Jake Tapper travels to Los Angeles to speak with Mayor Karen Bass on her efforts to build and provide housing for homeless people. #CNN #News
![NOSFERATU - Official Teaser Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b59rxDB_JRg/mqdefault.jpg)
What she is describing is how Norway solved it's homeless problems. Good job.
Sounds more like they are offering a "solution" to a "problem" that they created...
@@WrongThink_ Would that really matter?
@@DarqJestor Absolutely. The same people offering the solution for housing are the same ones with the policies that increased the cost of living to the point that these people had to leave a home they already had to live on the streets. only to have the same people come back around and be like " hey there friend and voter.. I have a nice storage container you can live in"
So do nothing is your solution? So you and others can keep politicizing it? It doesn't matter who created this. Taxing the ultra wealthy at a sane level just like we did decades ago is also a solution that will work.@@WrongThink_
@@WrongThink_ The question is who “they” are. It true they created the problem, but this current crisis is the result of 80 years of continuous work. There is a divide in politics and both sides have had a hand in this. President Eisenhower had just as big a hand in this as any current politician.
And neither side has a solution. This is, at best, a temporary mitigation. To the extent it helps these people, I support it. To the extent it makes it easier for everyone to do what they need to do on the streets, also good.
But problem solved, it’s over? No.
I didn’t vote for Mayor Bass but this lady proved me wrong. She literally cleared our neighborhood for years of tents and vandalism. I know this because it affected myself and neighbors.
Love this comment. Thanks for the positivity.
Would you vote for her for a second term?
You be getting paid or work for the democrat party. Go to Downtown LA, Venice, parks, anywhere where there’s factories, under freeways, drug addicts bums. Using tax payers money to support lazy addict bums. You’re only homeless because you want too
I noticed significant improvement in parts of my neighborhood that I did not expect. Karen Bass seems to just be a damn good mayor for Los Angeles I like her and hope she continues to make progress!
What they’re not telling you is that these poor Americans are on the streets because these same people are putting illegals into housing for free TRUMP 2024
I would like to express my profound gratitude, and with tears in my eyes to the mayor.
Thank you very much, with great admiration, for someone who is finally stepping up to the plate and making a difference with words that make sense.
Thank you Mayor. Thank you very much.
I live in Venice beach and she’s made a huge difference. And she does it in a compassionate way.
Venice is a tourist town,you should know better.
@@coachjayy what are you talking about? LOL
Forcing people into hospitals or to take medication against their will is not compassionate. It's violence and a human rights violation. The real problem is there's no affordable housing, it's systemic not an individual failure
@@coachjayy What are you even talking about? Yes, Venice is a tourist destination but it was fraught with homeless people for DECADES. What’s your point?
@@coachjayyhave you living under a rock?
I agree with Mayor Bass, no one should die on the streets in a country as rich as the United States of America 🇺🇸.
dying of homelessness?
She’s terrible and crime is out of control her.
@@TeamDemocracy2242 Anybody who’s still supporting democrats at this point is a troll. Los Angeles is a mess because of liberal woke politicians.
Who should pay for them? Shouldn't be up to taxpayers to take care of lazy drug addicts
We aren't rich...obviously
Kudos to Karen Bass for her effort as Mayor🎉

@@TeamDemocracy2242your a hardcore Obama fanboy
Housing first should be a standard in a country as rich as the US.
Great work! Fantastic mayor!
Open your home to them
Were 33 trillion in debt we aint rich lol
It doesn’t take much….. someone making an hourly wage, living pay check to pay check loses their job for missing work to care for a sick child. Even with a little savings, and some access to credit, the dominoes would fall very quickly.
Really bothers me when people dismiss homeless people as drug addicts or mentally disturbed. So many of us could easily end up in the streets with a short series of unfortunate events.
It’s a cruel world.
Shouldn’t dismiss them even if they ARE drug addicts and/or have mental health problems.
I hate to be this guy but do you think this is just a way of getting the homeless and hidden them away
Exactly. I ended up living in a Toyota Sienna. I work and I'm not on drugs. It's ridiculous.
I hate to be this guy but do you think this is just a way to hidden the homeless away
true. a lot of homeless people work, some even full time. minimum wage is not a humane amount.
"The shredding of the social safety net over years has resulted in the situation we have here." Truer words have never been spoken.
We remove and downsize all the supports people need, and then we criticize them for not being able to make it. This is the direct result of the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality that has reigned since I can remember.
It’s less “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps” and more “We took away your PDF. Try not to drown. Good luck!”
The unspoken part of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is "while we step on your neck..." I remember being a kid in the 80s and it was "get a job and you'll be fine." They added a qualifier to that over time. "Get a GOOD job and you'll be fine..." What do we consider a good job? Apparently, the only "good" jobs are in politics or being rich due to parents. The very foundations of our society (service workers, nurses, teachers, EMTs, construction workers, et cetera) aren't GOOD enough for a wage that allows them to live healthy, happy lives AND save for their futures properly? The sad part is that most a-holes that say Taco Bell isn't a "good enough" job for someone to work fulltime and actually be doing well in the economy are the SAME d-bags that go to Taco Bell to have their food made for them. I know Boomers are thinking that people are just too lazy. Meanwhile, THEY are the ones who drove us into this ever-widening quagmire. It wasn't TikTok dances or green hair...
What shredding of the social safety net? The net is bigger now than ever. We even cover illegal immigrants with it.
@@user-zu5do6ri6rthat’s objectively not true. Neither of your assertions are.
Yes, and the same thing has happened in Canada since we signed NAFTA. Things have gone too far now. A lot of our old established companies were taken over or shut out. Eatons, Hudson Bay Company, the Metropolitan Stores, etc... Our social safety net has been eviscerated, our environmental and consumer protections have been successfully challenged, Prime Minister Harper's admin was promoting Bank investment products and allowed propaganda against the nation's own Canada Pension Plan and OAS, seized our employment insurance fund surplus (employee and employer funded) years ago and reduced our employment Insurance benefit allowance Trudeau increased it but not all the way back to the old more generous rate. At the provincial level, our welfare budgets have been neglected and are currently inhumane, provincial public housing stock was actually neglected at best and/or worse, reduced over 30 years, health care has separated mental health and addictions services apart from regular health care, and health care has been chronically underfunded and has become partly commercialized. For about 30 years now, provincial Liberal and Conservative politicians have been adverse to put limits on rent increases or make eviction laws more humane. Canada now too has huge numbers of homeless people, we've become Americanized. Beware of the international trade agreements like NAFTA or CETA, they do an end run around the democratically enacted laws we brought in through debate and vote, they give corporations too much power because they interfere in our ability to determine own civic governance
Anyone who has a better idea needs to come forward. The mayor is doing what she said she would do. Complex problems need complex solutions, but you gotta start somewhere. Kudos to her!
She ain't done a damn thang. Get out and drive around and get back to us.
@@coachjayy I don’t live there, so I defer to you.
But it’s a start.
@@coachjayy She just recently cleaned up SEVERAL streets in the SFV. It’s a start buddy. What are you doing about it? What do you suggest?
ruclips.net/video/-PpExFN7jmA/видео.htmlsi=UUmNUOPFQwPW7q48
This is such a scary propaganda piece. You need to go out and see LA right now (03/20/24) - this is not real.
I applaud the Mayor for these actions!
They built an apartment complex out of shipping containers. It looks good, is safe and secure. I tip my hat to them.
They did the orange ones during covid with the Cares money. There is a video about them on Invisible People.
It's a good start, better than nothing. There are plenty of emthy containers from the Long Beach Port. The city should hold a competition for the creative minds/ scientists to get creative to improve the project, eg. heat, climate control during summer. Bring in solar panels on the roof top, have some sections with rooftop community garden etc. growing vegetables with community efforts, that's a sustainable life! I will totally get involved in this type of projects.
There's a county program - TURN, to coach, help people with mental challenges to get back to the job market. They provide interviews clothes and tips, first month bus pass when someone lands a job etc
When visiting the a Netherlands some time back, I saw university housing made of shipping containers. I was very impressed how they could put together a cost effective large structure for many people to securely live in. Finally seeing it here (I’m in Los Angeles) and hope to see more. As long as they don’t make it an eyesore. They must be built well and look nice when done.
@@bijansst Really? You have to be negative about a good thing? Well the GDP of California is so high that if it was its own country it would have the fifth largest economy.
So go back to your red state and figure out how to get off of federal welfare. Put your feet down and walk on your own. we are tired of carrying you.
Same thing soldiers lived in while deployed.
Mayor Bass is the Real Deal. She laid out her plans...and got to work on Day One. Los Angeles Leads. YES ON ONE.
I live in Hollywood. The problem today is just as bad as it was when Bass took office. When one encampment is cleared, another is setup nearby. This is a propaganda piece.
She’s horrible.
All talk.
@@charleslavoie5402Well damn…tell us what the hell you are doing to help with this crisis/situation🤔
Why Yes on One? Is that money rlly gonna go into the right hands? Another thing, why are Many who have been working in Mental Health institutions and advocacy groups afraid it will dismantle 20 years of progress? It will create private mental institutions if I'm wrong. Please inform me if I'm misunderstanding. I'm curious and interested because I will be going to the ballots this March. I'd love to gain perspective on the matter. I'm No on measure 1 but I'm also open to a conversation. I'm just glad you mentioned it. Many ppl I e come across could care less. It's a huge package.
@@anthonyjaurrietaagreed. I’m worried it will take away from mental health care. They need to address housing without taking away from other social services. Like she said at the end, it doesn’t end with temporary housing.
I’m not the only one to wonder how humane is it to let people that may be mentally ill or addicted to wallow out on the street. If a person has broken legs we help them but a broken mind for some reason is ignored. I hope she succeeds.
Great point
The new homeless population is the senior citizen who can't afford rent anymore
If the severely autistic can get placed in group homes, the mentally ill can too.
I agree. She understands the root causes and is dealing with it layer by layer.
Some of these bums don't want to be helped.
Finally....someone who is taking action. ❤
The city and Feds should start building public housing like they did years ago. Don't let the big investors take over land and build "luxury apartments."
is cheaper to live in a shipping container
Sorry, we have endless wars to pay for.
Luxury apartments are for the illegals. Not American's.
@@uonecar What is wrong, if they're cleaned, for the adult homeless to live in abandoned factories, abandoned house, like we had in Philly, do they not have abandoned buildings in LA and just have the plumbing ,electricity updated ?
Isolated public housing created it's own issues. It's part of the solution but there are a lot of pieces to it, including respect for people and living wages.
People like this need to be in the White House who actually helping people
She’s terrible and crime is out of control here.
@@PabloTheThinker stfu you're on every comment
Her city is a crime ridden slum.
A politician that gets no results.
The jobs and skills of a big city mayor and a president or governor are wildly different. Like a startup founder versus a F100 CEO. You put her in that abyss of bureaucracy and she’ll be about as effective as Officer Harris.
Thank the lord - my area has gotten cleaned up tremendously. More work to do but MUCH BETTER!!!!!
What a person the mayor is. Oh how I wish people like this could lead the country.
London Breed could learn a thing or two
It should never be controversial to help your fellow human beings. May the success of this program continue and be a model for other cities and communities. Great work Mayor Bass.
It shouldn't so acceptable to be forced to help ppl who refuse to help themselves.
@@peni1641 How do you know they refuse to help themselves?
@@01happykatthe majority of the homesless dont want help. They prefer to be in the streets to keep taking drugs and live a "carefree" lives
@@ernestogastelum9123 I agree there are many who prefer life on the streets, but there are also those who don't. I'm all for helping those who have fallen on hard times through job loss, etc. back into housing and to get back on their feet. But let's not assume that all refuse to help themselves. There are also plenty who live in their cars because they can't afford rent. I live in a city where homelessness is a huge problem as well, and I know that not all are on drugs, etc. Some people have a hard time.
@@01happykat alot of homeless are just addicts, whose addiction is funded by taxpayers. In comment section of various yt videos, they themselves have said ' i wanted ppl to leave me alone so I could do my d@ugs'
God bless this lady!
I’m not religious but, Yes.
She’s doing good.

No one thing will work. This mayor seems to see the multiple strategies that need to be in place.. I hope she is successful.
She does. I work at a place that is for employment and we have funding from her programs. She definitely has multiple plans.
Thank you Mayor ❤
Bravo! I am so proud of our Mayor!
This lady is such a blessin for these troubled people .hope all goes well ..very proud of u
My friend is a caregiver to her parents and was told when they die she has 2 months to get out so they can sell the house.
Family adding to the homeless population.
Uhm, not exactly the same thing. Did your friend expect that the family would be burdened with her after their folks passed? It's a *job* and she needs to seek *another* placement, or find her own place, after all, I'm sure she is getting paid for her service and most likely all her expenses, except personal ones, are being taken care of. Sorry, your friend, if she becomes homeless, has only herself to blame, the family has been kind and given her notice now, so she has time to find a new situation. 🤨
@@koda3967 The OP said that their friend is a caregiver to *her* parents. So she is not just some hired help. She is their daughter.
@@koda3967 she is the daughter who is not getting paid, who lost her corporate job because they didn't have a work from home option.
So 10 years of full time unpaid personal care, personal shopper, housekeeping and maintenance.
Don't know who will take a chance on renting a place to someone that unemployed and or having a difficult time getting back on her feet .
Point is, that ungrateful family members are willing to throw good natured people out on the street.
@@bsing2uYou take her in! They don’t have to support a grown woman if they don’t want to!
@@tony4534 I got her back.
Support her...that's funny.
Siblings before, during and soon to be thereafter haven't supported her emotionally, financially or physically as she is taking care of her parents which by the way is thier parents.
So who are the actual grifters?
Businesses DO NOT PAY People a LIVING WAGE, PERIOD!!! HELLLOOOOO!!!
There’s jobs that pay living wages
And, if they do, we can't afford the products they sell. Lose/lose situation.
The problem is Democrat created policies. Learn this and vote some other color besides blue. You will like where you live much better. Trust me! I live in a red county and it’s a desired place to live because red gets it!
No blue could ever help for a long period of time-short term sure.
Maybe don’t try to raise a family off of a fast food job
@@koda3967We’re not going to be able to afford the products they sell either way. These corporate CEOs are already inflating prices just to line theirs and investors’ pockets. They have the money to pay everyone a living wage, they just don’t want to.
Let's talk about the needed deposit along with the first month's rent TO MATCH in order to move into an apartment. smh Not easy to afford.
I work for a company called Pacific Clinics- we have a housing Program that is provided through the Cal-Aim Program that does just this for those unhoused and at risk of being unhoused- providing first months rent and security deposit to those that have Medi-Cal and one of the following health providers: Anthem, HealthNet, LA Care, and Molina. It’s a new program and most of our navigators have full caseloads, but we haven’t stopped intakes, if you qualify or anyone else feel free to dm/ reach out
I believe our program was created recently through Mayor Bass’ efforts, although I’m not sure as I just recently started there 🫡
Helping people infuriates the MAGA cult.
I see that by some of the comments. Sad.
I see that by some of the hateful comments here as well talking about I don't care about the homeless. And most of these people are the same ones that tell you that they love Jesus
I support Trump and I’m glad someone is doing something about the homeless crisis in California. I just wish the Governor there would step up.
I wish we would stop paying for endless wars so we could actually help these poor people.
@@elaknalon23pfft trump supporter oxymoron.
Love seeing this woman’s values and getting-it-done energy!! Thank you for being you, Mayor Bass!🙏🩷
This is wonderful; helping people in need should be happening more often, and I bet this will also help people get jobs!
It's much cheaper to solve the problem this way. Instead of using the sources, they start to contribute and save on costs if fire brigade, policing, health care, judicial system, incarceration, clean ups. Social service etc
I have to give her credit for putting in real work, being out on the streets with the city workers time and time again, and for keeping the public informed. I hope progress continues and I can honestly say as an Angeleno that I have seen progress firsthand.
More of these stories of action and the desire to help humanity. ❤mayor Bass, you are a hero.
Thank goodness we finally have someone saying out loud that people with mental health issues should NOT have the right to remain on the street and refuse care.
How about some follow-up?
How are these people doing 3, 6, or 2 months later?
The federal government needs to provide more support to cities in warm places like Southern California, Hawaii, Texas, and Florida since the homeless in other states move there for the warmer weather.
What needs to change are the zoning laws, mental health and substance abuse assistance, lower rents and higher wages. Then and ONLY then, will things change
I had an uncle who passed away a few years ago who was dedicated to the homeless feeding them clothing them homing them just being there for them tha k you mayor he worked hard for the city of LA and I'm so glad to see you put this effort in for our homeless I'm sure he be so happy to see this right now
Especially with the recent heavy rains in California in the last year after drought conditions for years the homeless population are going to be severely affected in the wet conditions and want to get off the streets. Being homeless is never easy but its a lot harder when everything around you is flooding along with what little you own.
I thought of them during all the news reports of flooding. Bonus points for using "affected," not "effected!" -unemployed English nerd
Biden's America 🎉Americans are paying on average $1,020 more each month compared with the same time two years ago
So move to Russia
Same math that MAGA uses on everything! Election court cases the numbers they use just more FRAUD BY TRUMP!
When I lived in LA I slept in my car not by choice. Now I own a home and do all I can to help the homeless and people struggling in any way get on their feet.🙏🙏 Grateful
YES YES YES!!!! What wonderful, strong start to dealing with this tragedy!! Thank Karen Bass for doing what needs to be done, helping these people and getting a roof over their heads!! Inspiring!!
I live in Echo Park (Hugo's district) and in my district I see a big difference just in the past year. (My friend visiting from Minneapolis actually remarked that she saw fewer encampments here than at home!) I just hope there are options for folks after their temporary housing runs out. We need housing solutions that cost $500 or less. You can't even rent a bedroom in a shared apartment in LA for less than $1000 per month which means anyone underemployed has no option but to live in their car or in a tent. Affordable housing should be plentiful enough to be available for all without having to go through a nightmarish waiting list or public assistance quagmire.
So happy to see this segment on CNN. God Bless Mayor Bass. I just returned from LA and was shocked to see so many people living in filth and squalor. While I gather that residents of LA have a certain tolerance of people who are so disenfranchised I realized I live in a country that is largely indifferent to such suffering. That is very clearly one of the aspects of materialism which I hate. We can do better; much better. and we must.
I house my mentally ill sister because otherwise she would be homeless. There is no hospitalization available for her; no assisted living; no disability services (because she was rejected twice even with lawyers helping). She was in active psychosis when we took her in and part of psychotic illnesses is the resistance to treatment. In order for her to stay here, she must remain medicated.
However, the mental health system in our nation is VERY broken. The days of mental facilities are over, and it is a BIG part of why people are on the streets.
This woman is doing a great service to the mentally ill by having them be hospitalized for short-term observation and treatment.
Society is better off for all (including those with the illness) when boundaries are put in place with these situations.
I now watch the work of this woman every chance I get because she is getting to the root of some things, and is tireless in her efforts. She’s beyond just a mayor; she’s an angel who works to solve real issues.
bless you for taking care of your sister. my wife & I do foster care & see a lot of problems out there
It's really terrible that there's not enough housing, but it's also terrible to see so much stuff on the streets. Our city used to be clean, and now there's a lot of garbage out there
I think that’s in very city now
Mayor Bass is the real deal! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I look forward to seeing its progress. I hope it helps enough people to continue.
Hallelujah! Thank God for you Mayor! I have been saying this for so long, finally you are doing this for the homeless people, best solution
This is fantastic!!!! Thank you Mayor!!! This feels right. Money well spent.
I admire her passion..
Great job, Mayor!
Jake, it's great to see you actually reporting on this topic (not trapped in the studio). Glad to see unhoused persons being covered in this manner.
It’s because spring and summer are coming and that’s prime tourists season for California. Gotta make the streets look clean for a few months to get the tourists
The last thing Los Angeles needs is listen to any poll that comes from San Francisco.
Not a single mention of all the children these people create and then the children those children create...
Thank Mayor
Yes .are you listening Mayor adams 🎉
Unhoused? God forbid you call them homeless.
For a second there i thought there was a homeless person in the jaws of the crane lol....
Great to see someone actually cares and is doing something about it
Way to go, Karen! Thank you for cleaning up our city ❤
“Unhoused”? Is this Orwellian for homeless?
Well, that is what they are.
@@allisonharbor4011 This newly imposed term demonstrates the depravity of a reemerging, self-appointed elite. A house is the assembly of sticks, stones, plastic, metal and oil into a barrier from the elements. It can be a bungalow or an igloo. A home is a house and everything in it that brings a sense of safety, warmth, and security. It houses our affections, our loved ones - it warms our spirits. If we can not meet the needs of the whole person we at least offer them shelter. The new Guard only addresses the physicality of an entity, eliminating "old" think. I prefer setting my sights higher. I prefer taking a holistic term and making it whole. Unhoused ignores the evolution of what it means to be a "home".
@@user-be1ch3vk3c I think your analysis is way too deep for someone living in a tent or out of a shopping cart.
@@allisonharbor4011 spend some time visiting with homeless people, you might change your mind. I mean really communicate by listening intently with an open heart. There are people in those tents and behind the shopping carts. Complex people like you and me that have very real needs in a precarious world. We need to assist them better than just creating Orwellian languages and injecting a large dose of liberal hypocrisy.
A Most of those people AREN’t from Cali to begin with….they should be in their own states to begin with.
And B, many many many of the people are into drugs and alcohol, (families excluded).
Housing is OUTRAGEOUS….but you shouldnt be having so many kids anyways if you cant afford to take care of YOURself to begin with. Many people chose not to have kids….because they couldn’t afford it.
Its called family planning.
Why should MY tax dollars be paying for 6 kids costs.
WTH
Good Job! Mayor Bass! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Karen Bass is amazing. Of course we needed a woman to get her hands dirty and fix the problem. Still a long way to go but she’s done an incredible job already.
Thank you lady!!!
2000 apartments cost 53 million dollars?
That’s only $26,500 each. Try building anything for that amount of money.
If you were to build a one bedroom apartment complex, you are spending on avg 60k per door. In LA its probably 70k per door. 26K is highly efficient.
@tonlinesoitmistbetrue my guess is that is a per month price in rent, or per year. Wouldn't surprise me either, NY spending 64 a day to feed asylum seeking migrants. Like bruh... I eat on 90 dollars a month lol.
This is why most people are really bad at understanding public policy. They see numbers that would be huge in their daily life, and can't understand how that actually breaks down to very small numbers at an individual level.
@@timogul Just like people don't understand if you made a million dollars PER DAY, it would take you 550 years to make Elon Musks net worth.
Coming from skepticism.. but absolutely right about mental health and that yes, sometimes providing that help against the individual's supposed will, while controversial, may absolutely be the most humane and safest and most compassionate thing to do (not to mention cost-effective). Those in power (who ever has the power to codify, allocate, and advocate) at city and county levels should watch, listen, and act!
If they had the capability to watch, listen and take real world examples from the people around them we probably wouldn't be in half the problems we are today as a nation.
Plenty of shit we deal with, big shit, Europes had solved and they're in a MUCH better state. Better state financially? Nah America is filthy rich, but better in like every other way imaginable? Lmfao, go look, Europes leagues and bounds beyond the US.
Good for Bass and the homeless!
Respect Karen.....
I see you.....
Respect ....
We need to keep you in office to allow ample time to completely resolve homelessness in our wealthy state and nation as a whole....
Thank you
One x
Wishing her and the homeless in LA great success. If it works, please do the same up here in The Bay
Keep up the good work mayor
She should be the Governor
To throw people's stuff away😢
This is wonderful. We need someone like her in NYC!
I commented on a previous newscast on Mayor Bass' effort to resolve homelessness, and there was some pushback. I'm glad to see an update and see that Mayor Bass is the real deal. Thank you, Mayor Bass. America needs to resolve this across our country. It's nice to see more optimistic comments, too. Keep up the fantastic work, Mayor Bass.
Then there's homeless outreach seeing a different story and different things happening to people then what she and Jake are presenting.
@USA92 I am quite familiar. I've met people I'm LA who work in social services and have told me about the ins and outs of the homelessness crisis. It's probably more than most people are aware of. The government does a lot. Some homeless individuals are not compliant for a variety of reasons, which some are valid and some are not for their benefit. I'm just glad to see some change in the right direction.
@youlknowmyname correction the government don't do jack.
@@coachjayy You'll believe what you want.
Thanks CNN for such a story...this is a global challenge. Wish most leaders around the World would listen to a leader like her ..live from Kenya 🇰🇪
She’s doing an incredible job considering what the previous Mayor left her to resolve. She doesn’t have time to play politics like these other politicians. Los Angeles deserves a mayor like her! 🙏 Mayor Bass. She needs to run for CA Governor!
AWSOME!!!!!
Thanks 🙏. YOU HAVE KEPT YOUR WORD 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is the best MAYOR story I heard in many years😊
This is where our money should be going! To our own citizens!
She definitely has a holistic understanding of the problem. Shoutout to Mayor Bass
I absolutely agreed with the mayor.
If they don’t agree to stay in the Safe House then put them in jail!
Love her! My street is beautiful again ! Thank you Mayor
Here is the difference when you elect a "Public Servant" and not a politician. Respect to Mayor Bass.
We need more leadership like this!
I’d like to see a follow up in a year or two.
Next they need to prevent & provide therapy on hording, if not their rooms and surrounding properties will look exactly like their former encampments..
It's about time a person in power has real humanity I'm so proud of this woman she is a good person
That math is terrible though. 53 million and 2000 still in flux 43000 still homeless, and only 320 in permanent housing?
So far.
If permanent housing was easily or even reasonably achievable, we wouldn't have the homeless in the first place.
Go Mayor Jake! Go. Appreciate your efforts.
My God man finally someone doing something good for the community and potentially this country
I live in a rich liberal city. The wealthy people from the area I live in call these people the zombies. My heart dropped when I heard this talk because it’s dehumanizing.
the theory that "most of these people want to be out there" is the most absurd, non sense thing ever. Imagine being homeless as hell, in desperate need of any kind of help and you got people out here literally accusing you of a wanting to live on the streets... wild
Thank you for helping Americans
Housing is just link to keep them off the streets. They need livelihood programs as well
Bless this woman. This is simple, humanistic, common sense politics. So many politicians act like they don’t know what to do in this country…meanwhile they’re holding up progress in the face of people suffering. God bless her.
the problem is in 2-4 weeks, those encampments will be right back there. some will even be the same people. These are temporary fixes that dont work.
Greed destroys over time not all at once.
