    This is so heartbreaking.My niece stumbled on this and noticed her older brother in it. The guy at the end of the video, the cook is my nephew. My sister hasn't heard from him in months since his dad passed away. He struggles with severe mental illness and addiction. He disappears sometimes for years at a time and my sister doesn't know if he is dead or alive. She checks jail rosters regularly looking for his name. Sometimes that's the only way for us to know that he is still alive. The tears in my sister's eyes when she showed me this video of how her son is living and his mental state just broke my heart.

    The irony of this story is compelling. On the one hand you see the homeless live underground trying to make ends meet and battle with the uncertainty of their environment. On the other hand, above ground you know that lavish casinos abound where money is thrown around slot machines, table games, bars like money is not an object. Life is so unfair.

  • @carolinaferreira9733

    One thing I find really interesting about these videos is that when u ask other people what to do about the homeless situation they usually reply “take them off the streets and give these people homes”, however when you ask someone who’s actually homeless they respond like the gentleman at 11:00 “give us jobs, give us ids”
    It really shows the difference in perspective. People who arent in that situation are more inclined to think about immediately temporary solutions, while those living the problme are thinking of things that can help them long term.

    • @doctorgothicc

      Yet in Utah, our housing first policy actually works better than just giving them jobs?
      And Utah is not known for being a liberal state.
      Housing is not a quick fix, it takes years to build, and years to fund.
      It's the long term solution these people need, because I've known too many of the working homeless to think that a job will actually solve these issues writ large, because if it was, it already would've since we have the lowest unemployment in the longest time.

      @Voxphyle Месяц назад

      ​@ethanstump On average, homelessness in Utah has remained pretty steady since 2005 (which is when Utah adopted its housing first policy). So no, I wouldn't say Utah's housing first policy is a real success story.

    • @ethanstump
      @ethanstump Месяц назад

      @@Voxphyle are you talking about total, or per capita, since our population has increased by 50% since 2000.
      of course, we are no finland, but literally being sandwiched between two of the largest population center's (cali and texas) means that we have had to focus greatly on housing, yet because of geography we can't really sprawl, and while that's great for density and affordability in the long run, it requires a higher amount of capital upfront. there's a lot of reasons as to why SLC is more expensive than many people give it credit for, and that means that actually housing the homeless often is such a contentious issue, because housing itself is pretty difficult here even if your a normal working stiff.

    Every video I've seen you do, you treat everyone with dignity and respect. I wish more people did that and understood it. This is also some of the most real journalism out there today, and I say that as someone who got a BA in journalism back in '99 but left the industry because mainstream media has become a product and propaganda, not actual journalism. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the excellent work.

    I live in Vegas, and I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy that was cooking walk down the road before, was yelling and swinging the sticks around. Interesting guy haha. Great video about these people, always really interesting to hear their stories, a lot of things to learn about what not to do to help prevent getting in these situations, obviously not 100% their fault though. Gotta say though living in the tunnels is very dangerous, when it rains here, a lot of the time flash floods happen, and the drains are basically a river for a good amount of time.

      I lived in Vegas in the mid to late 90's. It literally rained one time in the 3 yrs I lived there. Rained 1/4 inch in about 20 mins. This past year I saw at least twice that it rained and flooded like crazy. When I first moved there, I had just turned 21. Saw a ton of people laying in the park on Maryland Pkwy covered in white sheets, 116 degrees out in Aug. I told my ex, something bad happened at the park, there are tons of dead people covered in sheets. He laughed at me and said they are homeless not dead. I was so nieve when I moved there.

    Man such real people, my heart is being pulled, it just is what it is. I feel the sin of omission ringing clear, because I know there's things I could do to help. Forget what I haven't done so far, that won't help anyone. Dude, your videos are beginning to humble me bro, I mean I'm not elevated by any means, but I mean I'm beginning to want to find practical ways to help them. I fish, I hunt, I camp, I garden, I do many things. But a fish or a deer, a campsite, sure it all felt good and nice, but they weren't worthwhile hobbies. I'd rather help people than do what I've always done. Ya, people need help. Keep showing where these people are okay, cause I wouldn't have known where to look prior to these videos. Keep giving out beer and cigarettes, people need that. Keep hearing their stories. Keep inspiring. Keep it up, please!😌

    This one fella, Andy, became homeless when his wife died. I don't think I've ever met a more caring, loving and happy dude. But his story near brings me to tears every time.
    I love Tommy for this shit. No one ever cares enough for the homeless.
    I work hard as fuck for my money and my family, but I will give whatever I can, whenever I can. I've been homeless and my mum IS homeless right now.
    I'll never understand the level of judgement people have for someone who's lost everything and is now living on the streets fighting to survive.

    Straight From the Streets was founded by Linda Lera who is a family member. My son and his wife and Linda went down to the tunnels to make a documentary. Linda at that time was the only person allowed down there by the mole people because she helped them so much! It was her passion. The non profit is still going on despite her death.
