Used to work in Venice. So many encampments all over town. City would bulldoze one and everyone just moved over 2 blocks. Whack a mole situation, no easy solutions.
Thats what i was just thinking. I don't even live in California. They need to find a place that nobody cares about and just let the homeless stay there but police it and make sure they don't do bad things. Even send outreach programs out to help the people. Not just shuffle people around. Some people need help and should get the help. Some people won't. Thats just the way it is. Of couse California's democratic government doesn't help the situation. Theyre a big part of the current problem!!!
@@jamesbehrje4279 that womt solve shit have you seen skid row ? you cant just dump your problems out of eye sight and hope it fixes its self . they shouldnt move the homeless without actually giving them resources otherwise it just repeats its self
@@namjoonie936 i think you misunderstanding my ideas. Skid row is what happens when you do nothing but enable people. My idea is to have city's and towns set up homeless shelters that are policed and monitored but have them also offer help like job assistance substance abuse programs health care. I envision it being funded through a mixture of goverment and private donations. Like i said it wouldnt be just a free spot where people can do anything they want and get away with it. You'd have to be good to stay in it. I think people that do violent crimes and other bad stuff should be given maximum sentences. Prison can be their free housing. There's plenty of drug addicts and homeless people that are just in a trap and would be more productive members of society if they just had a little help getting out of it. Another thing not all homeless people are junkies and addicts. Many became that way due to financial problems, job loss, natural disaster, etc. Many homeless including the junkie ones are honest and are willing to work. I see alot of empty buildings and shopping centers that could be used to help the situation. Sometimes people are just priced out of there home. I had a friend his neighbor nextdoor was paying about 800 per month for an apartment for over 7 yrs and new owners came in and jacked up his rent to 1500 per month. This wasnt the greatest property either. Everything is getting to expensive. People can't find housing anymore. I myself am sleeping in the garage apt of the person I work for. If anything happens to my boss i don't know where ill go with my dog. Noone likes renting apartments to people with animals. I wont give up my dog. Ill sleep in a van or something.
it"s about time. now hopefully i can play handball when i visit. but it is amazing that some people can put up signs of great quotes but not live by them.
Seen this time and time again. They will slowly come right back in. It’s great to see them finally cleaning things up, but will they keep it this way? I honestly don’t see it lasting more than a few weeks. I do feel for homeless folks of course. This is a much bigger problem, unfortunately.
Wow! They were living with rats? My goodness!! I am so glad they are cleaning up Venice Beach. I have never been there, but it looks like the homeless have completely overran that area. It seems like a beautiful place! GIV thanks for updating everyone! I enjoy your videos!!
@@EmDeePhotography Everything got worse after the pandemic. I think without the masses of locals and tourists crowding the public spaces, the homeless basically made themselves... at home.
It needs to happen to the whole state and country where homeless live. They should be forced into housing not to be in the streets. There is enough warehouses and buildings that can be used.
I love how kind you are to both sides of life and your continuous reporting of your area. Love watching the progress and nice to see things getting cleaned up. Wish you well my friend.

@@mrs.h2725 Yeah I worked on an eviction court case of this crazy lady who was illegally doing Airbnb out of her apartment nonstop. On Glencoe in Venice. The process lasted months. And the sheriff finally gave her 5 days notice to get the F out. She still wasnt done moving her stuff when we finally arrived with sheriff. They kicked her out and most her stuff was left behind. She was still moving stuff down the stairs when the sheriff pulled up. Carrying one small bag at a time. She was in no rush. She didn't think we'd actually kick her a$$ out.

That same guy was talking about the grand conspiracy against him to the press. Everyone is out to get him don't ya know.

Thank you !!!! San Bernardino!!! San Bernardino area , Redlands , riverside , highland !! Help us too ! This is honestly the only area my husband and I were able to afford to buy a home in and we have small children !! They are destroying everything
I seriously appreciate your videos. We get to see what is happening down there. Are there folks who come through there non stop to feed the junkies? Some folks have HUGE hearts.
See how California decides to handle the homeless when tourism has been down and now that summer is back, they need people to visit without the nasty homeless encampments
exactly! guess it was good while it lasted - free living on the beach! but I am sure this is not a coincidence that they are cleaning it up just in time for summer tourist, Question is..... where did these people move to? probably a couple blocks down the road, problem not really solved

Thank you for the update German In Venice! I was looking for an update and so far you are first that I see on youtube with an update on the Venice situation. Thanks again. :0)
Venice Beach has changed for the worse these last 12 months. Two weeks ago I saw a homeless man eating a sesame bun with toenails on it. Apparently he had nothing else to eat, so he had gathered toenail clippings from himself and others around him and put it on the bun. It was truly an unforgettable sight. I hope this Covid-19 situation turns around soon, or I cannot see how this society can keep it together.
In case anyone was wondering, the rat made it out ok at 10:07 Thanks for staying all day so we could see it from start to finish, very satisfying to watch it cleared out. Can you please film the process of them disinfecting it and painting it so we can see it completed? Thanks!🙏🌈 Heartbreaking to see anyone sleeping on the streets, no country should allow that, we must do better for our fellow man. 🌈❤️
@@larrydewein401 They cut people accused of violent felonies loose almost immediately, so do you really think that they're going to get serious with *these* bums? Not a chance. Thanks to the DA, there is no more law in LA. (Hey, that rhymes!)

@@jmemarie4828 yes they are... Unfortunately a lot of ppl see those facilities as jails.. they'll make comments like, "what happens when they come and tell you you're mental and force you into a mental facility? You'll think twice about those facilities won't you??" Although I see the point.. I still think some sort of facilities like this should be available.
@@notimportant3914 No, mental health facilities could do some great good. People who aren’t on medicine would get the medicine they need. Sure, their freedom shouldn’t be taken entirely but for a time it is necessary to get the help they need. One of the reasons you have all of those people on the street (some not all) is because those are the people who need care both mentally and physically. They can’t do it themselves.
@@jmemarie4828 well rather or not someone is "crazy" or suffering from a mental condition is up for debate.. whose opinion of "crazy" are we going off of? For example, I started seeing the world differently after going down a bunch of YT rabbit holes, lol. They'll mess your mind up if you aren't careful. 😳 Anyway, I started talking about these things with my friends and family, because once you see the actual truth of this world, it scares you.. it connects a lot of dots that didn't connect before... All of a sudden the ppl whom you thought were "crazy" don't seem so crazy after all... They only seem crazy because you have no idea what they're talking about.. it's like a different language they're speaking.. so the more I talked about the crap, I thought my friends and family would look the info up, watch some videos, research the stuff a bit.. but NO! Instead they started questioning my mental state.. thinking I "flipped my lid".. "lost my marbles" said I was "brainwashed".. So.. yeah, I get why they thought that.. I also can't erase the beliefs I hold because of those rabbit holes either.. so am I crazy? Or just sane and everybody else has their eyes closed around me? Their head in the sand? I'm not homeless, or a criminal. I don't bother others around me with "info" or "research" anymore.. I keep those thoughts and beliefs to myself now.. I know better. I don't want ppl thinking I'm crazy because I have a different perspective than them.. So who gets to put the labels on ppl?? Who's brand of "normal" gets to set the standard for everybody else? BTW, or PS, I got counseling for two years for my families sake. I'm not crazy.
god yes. just spent a month working in cali and when i realized it was mostly like this due to meth. i was shocked and very thankful my state does not struggle like this.
They said " give all homeless housing" If you give the addicts housing, they will run off the drug dealers from the new housing The addicts won't want it, because they need access to the drug dealers This is why "providing housing " doesn't work with the addict

You give credit where it isn’t due. You said “the news team is here” you should have said “the FAKE news team is here”
You are the real news
they clean One place But how many more places are going to be destroyed because whoever moves from there They’re going to camp somewhere else
I dont think they think that far ahead
Thank you !!!! San Bernardino!!! San Bernardino area , Redlands , riverside , highland !! Help us too ! This is honestly the only area my husband and I were able to afford to buy a home in and we have small children !! They are destroying everything
They're like birds, they'll head back north for summer
I seriously appreciate your videos. We get to see what is happening down there. Are there folks who come through there non stop to feed the junkies? Some folks have HUGE hearts.
I love how German is always to cheerful! 👍
Klaus Schwab isn't always cheerful and happy.
Remember...he says you will own nothing and be happy.
@John Kyle Yes, people like you are kind of annoying. You are right
@@harrysmall-cox9579 that is like calling the kettle black.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes! Love seeing someone empathetic and has feelings for others. Go Mike!!
@John Kyle Then....don’t watch!
Thank you for your video. It's so fun to see the morning in enice Beach. I love German in Venice!!!!❤❤❤❤
See how California decides to handle the homeless when tourism has been down and now that summer is back, they need people to visit without the nasty homeless encampments
exactly! guess it was good while it lasted - free living on the beach! but I am sure this is not a coincidence that they are cleaning it up just in time for summer tourist, Question is..... where did these people move to? probably a couple blocks down the road, problem not really solved
Defund homelessness
There’s an agenda, they don’t care about tourism. Life as we knew it ended in 2019.
@Damon Yuen You just offered no solution.
@@trentboyett6048 how would you defund homeless
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!
Once the mouse is full, the hawk will eat
Ha ha ha ha
Gotta love you man... ur amazingly talented.. im happy u never gave up on RUclips... bcuz without you, we wudnt know about our California.... ur doing great work. May God keep u safe n healthy...
I hope someday they have some art work or a painting of you up in VB!!!
Lol. That's a good call. We need a GIV mural. We'll have to crowdfund some local artist to do it
@@stevencoardvenice Yes we do! He is a great person, who really cares, and that is his home, and he is proud of that!!!
He needs one right next to Arnold. 😀
Thanks for another sunny video, Mike xX
Good morning! Just a nice start to my morning watching you go about your business before I leave for work. Hope things improve in Venice.
Sometimes harsh negatives are the only way to get positives.
completely agree
You're just angry because capitalism has been shown to be a complete failure.
@@yaosio everything fails with humans.
@@brlyalve hahaha thanks for the good laugh.
@@brlyalve Capitalism is decadent. We need ecofascism or Leninism.
I swear, you could make watching a plant grow fun and interesting! I just love your energy! Thankful you spread it to us all!
Great video, Mike! Thanks again for awesome views of the greatest beach in the world. Wish I was there.
Good to see those people will have a better place to stay and Venice beach will look good again.
Pig sties, beach-style, yuck... incinerate that excrement & don't look back!!! 👍👍 A huge, sincere THANK U to LA' BEST, Sanitation Depts 'Boots on the Ground Cleaning Crew' keeping things healthy at their own peril.
👏👏 Tkx GIV for ur well-crafted need-to-know presentation, cheers! 🥂
This is by far the most satisfying video on RUclips to date ! Please do updates on this !
It’s weird how the homeless disregarded all covid mandates, lived in squalor like that, and still has no mass deaths.
Their immune to every disease know to man
There ARE mass deaths. Where are you getting your news??
Because its all a hoac but those homeless will BEG for a vaccine you watch. Vaxx = poison.
Mass deaths are faucheese propagada. Total death rate is same yoy. Google itt.
@@UniverseStrongestWarrior including bill gates disease
Just nasty!!!!!!!!!! I remember coming here as a kid in 90’s. Glad it’s finally getting some cleaning.
Hopefully they stick with it.
It's sad but I'm also glad.
Thank you GiV, always unbiased and on point 💖 Love and light 🙏
You are always so positiv, wise, and a kind man. You are the best and so great videos from you. Used to live n Venice in the 1980 to 2002. Warm wishes from Sweden
You brought this to my attention and millions of others. Great work!
that bobcat operator couldnt wait to clean all that shit up it seems like, good job.
Venice Beach has turned into a giant human and kitty litter box. Roll tide !
Alabama..talk about a shithole..
Roll tide....lol.
🤡
@@TheBlister69 Currently I live in the free state of Florida. I have lived in San Diego and in Alabama. I would have to say Bama doesn’t have this kinda shit going on...
I was in LA just 2 weeks ago. Don’t think I’ll be going back any time soon. I’ll stick to Georgia 🤣. GO DAWGS!
Butt Crack Alabama probably
@@joeblow8950 Georgia lol
Florida sucks too
There you are,missed you Mike, as have all the other folks on here. Good day!
This makes me so happy!!! Thank you City of Los Angeles
That happened last year in Dublin , except when they scooped up a tent nobody checked it was empty , and a man was asleep inside , he was very badly injured .
Thank you for the update German In Venice! I was looking for an update and so far you are first that I see on youtube with an update on the Venice situation. Thanks again. :0)
Thanks for documenting all of this for us. I hope everything is opened up by fall.
Venice Beach has changed for the worse these last 12 months. Two weeks ago I saw a homeless man eating a sesame bun with toenails on it. Apparently he had nothing else to eat, so he had gathered toenail clippings from himself and others around him and put it on the bun. It was truly an unforgettable sight. I hope this Covid-19 situation turns around soon, or I cannot see how this society can keep it together.
“Can’t throw away American Flag”.....son...that state threw that away long ago.
This is makes me very happy to see, and I hope this trend continues, its about time California!!!!
Hurry up and put up some more videos.I’ve watch them all.Melissa from Australia 🇦🇺
Someone's gonna come back and say "Where's my stuff"!
Stuff ? Or other s,,,,. Word!!
@@nellgrill3845 that happens every day
Hello there German From Venice keep the vids coming and much blessings from South Texas!!
And NORTH TEXAS
Love when you do Arnold's voice.
arnold is a leftist quack
You’re doing a great job Mike! Thanks for sharing your adventures. Can’t wait to visit sunny California. ☀️
I can watch your videos any time! Thanks for sharing! Much love 🙏
In case anyone was wondering, the rat made it out ok at 10:07
Thanks for staying all day so we could see it from start to finish, very satisfying to watch it cleared out. Can you please film the process of them disinfecting it and painting it so we can see it completed? Thanks!🙏🌈
Heartbreaking to see anyone sleeping on the streets, no country should allow that, we must do better for our fellow man. 🌈❤️
Lola,,, right on! Send the migrants 900 miles south! Take care of our own!
I was honestly worried for the rat
Man, I love the sound of bulldozers in the morning! 🐰🇺🇸❤️🎸🎶🤝✌️
it's oddly satisfying...
Don’t forget the looming helicopters
Homeless guy to people cleaning handball courts:
"I'll be back."
He could get a job. That would keep him busy
@@runningkirkwa2934 if only
If he comes back, lock him up!
So will the Front-end Loaders, Buddy !!!!!!!! Next time maybe they take you with them too ..... LOL
@@larrydewein401 They cut people accused of violent felonies loose almost immediately, so do you really think that they're going to get serious with *these* bums? Not a chance. Thanks to the DA, there is no more law in LA. (Hey, that rhymes!)
Literally you're the best thank you so much for your videos. You talk with facts .
German in Venice this was a cool video and all you guys must be his real true devoted loving nice respectable fan's and best friend's close to his heart and I am so glad to meet you guys on the comments section and blessed be to German in Venice and of course Blessed Be to everyone out there:-)👍😎👍
I’m glad I made it out to Venice Beach a couple of years ago before all this happened. It’s so sad to see 😢😤
Venice Beach has changed for the worse these last 12 months. Two weeks ago I saw a homeless man eating a sesame bun with toenails on it.

@@doubleuponbob3397 This is why mental health facilities are needed.
@@jmemarie4828 yes they are... Unfortunately a lot of ppl see those facilities as jails.. they'll make comments like, "what happens when they come and tell you you're mental and force you into a mental facility? You'll think twice about those facilities won't you??"
Although I see the point.. I still think some sort of facilities like this should be available.
@@notimportant3914 No, mental health facilities could do some great good. People who aren’t on medicine would get the medicine they need. Sure, their freedom shouldn’t be taken entirely but for a time it is necessary to get the help they need. One of the reasons you have all of those people on the street (some not all) is because those are the people who need care both mentally and physically. They can’t do it themselves.
@@jmemarie4828 well rather or not someone is "crazy" or suffering from a mental condition is up for debate.. whose opinion of "crazy" are we going off of?
For example, I started seeing the world differently after going down a bunch of YT rabbit holes, lol. They'll mess your mind up if you aren't careful. 😳 Anyway, I started talking about these things with my friends and family, because once you see the actual truth of this world, it scares you.. it connects a lot of dots that didn't connect before... All of a sudden the ppl whom you thought were "crazy" don't seem so crazy after all... They only seem crazy because you have no idea what they're talking about.. it's like a different language they're speaking.. so the more I talked about the crap, I thought my friends and family would look the info up, watch some videos, research the stuff a bit.. but NO! Instead they started questioning my mental state.. thinking I "flipped my lid".. "lost my marbles" said I was "brainwashed"..
So.. yeah, I get why they thought that.. I also can't erase the beliefs I hold because of those rabbit holes either.. so am I crazy? Or just sane and everybody else has their eyes closed around me? Their head in the sand?
I'm not homeless, or a criminal. I don't bother others around me with "info" or "research" anymore.. I keep those thoughts and beliefs to myself now.. I know better. I don't want ppl thinking I'm crazy because I have a different perspective than them..
So who gets to put the labels on ppl??
Who's brand of "normal" gets to set the standard for everybody else?
BTW, or PS, I got counseling for two years for my families sake. I'm not crazy.
Honest News...German In Venice! Thanks Mike!
I wish I could clean my house that fast!
YOU CAN,,,,,,,,BURN IT DOWN 🗿🚬
@@realplanetxnibiru823 That would only make a bigger mess!
A lovely sight indeed! 🙌🏻
Awesome seeing progress, cleaning up the filth and squatters plaguing our community.
Once people understand the difference between "homeless" and "crystal meth addicted", the problem can gain actual momentum to progress.
god yes. just spent a month working in cali and when i realized it was mostly like this due to meth. i was shocked and very thankful my state does not struggle like this.
I worked in Malibu and I stayed in Santa Monica for a month. I left early just because I couldn't deal with the craziness.
@@JohnnyCrash0 same I would have stayed longer but I had enough and never wanna return haha
@Daniel ominous Exactly! 👍👌
They said " give all homeless housing"
If you give the addicts housing, they will run off the drug dealers from the new housing
The addicts won't want it, because they need access to the drug dealers
This is why "providing housing " doesn't work with the addict
Thanks, lets start on border and work north and stop when when you get to Canada
Gives us a bit of hope that things will no longer be so dismal.
Great reporting Mike! ❤ I do hope everyone is safe & living inside!!! Stay Safe GIV ❤🇺🇸
You have done a beautiful job showing us what is going on in Los Angeles. I grew up in Whittier CA, L.A. County. Born in 79'✌I want to see it become awesome again.
*Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund*

Thanks! Now I know!
And the nite owl gets the mouse!
German this puts a smile on my face let’s make Venice Great Again
Thanos,OUR FATHER OWNS THE COAST..he told the poor and homeless they could live on the beachs and coast anywhere they wanted,AND if they can't live there ,NO ONE ELSE CAN EITHER...
Always cool to see the beach that early
Great coverage a usual, Mike. Thanks!
I love that cheery simple music at the beginning of this video. I will always associate GIV with it and it makes me smile.
