- A clearer picture of the status of homelessness in Los Angeles County came into focus Thursday with the release of the 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, and after some brief hope offered by last year’s results, the downward trend is continuing. Rachel Menitoff reports for KTLA 5 News at 10,. June 29, 2023.

Where I live, 40% of homeless have jobs and WORK but cannot afford rent.
They may need to search for housing in a cheaper location.
Move somewhere with crappy weather like the rest of us
@@roscojayco5527even in the pleasant town of Minot North Dakota, it is unaffordable for most people. It might not be “the landlord’s responsibility to house” or whatever weasel word of the day exists, but it is the city’s job to keep a functioning society, which you cannot do with 4k a month studios on skid row. drug policies naturally work better in better placed economies where homeless ceterans arent shaking coffee cups for nickels.
The docility is temporary. People will learn to squat and there will be nothing the police can do when the homeless inevitably bring rifles and armored vehicles to defend this. But there is room now for these cities to fix their policies.
Think about where you live before you give half hearted advice. There are no more “cheaper areas”
Greed
@jojofashosho5344 I'm thinking tornado alley. Are there jobs there, though?
“You will own nothing and be happy.”
That wasn’t just a figure of speech folks.
>be happy
but im not happy :(
BINGO.
@RogerMcMillan Because owning your own house means having an asset, which means greater financial flexibility. Especially if the real estate value goes up. My parents bought a house for $80,000 in 1989 and sold it for $490,000 in 2004. Even accounting for inflation that's a massive profit that they were able to use to retire five years earlier than they originally planned. Keep in mind their mortgage payments all during those years were cheaper than the rent on a 2 bedroom apartment.
That saying is for the idiots that believe it.
The moment Karen Bass was elected I knew LA was doomed.
Yup, Karen Bass is solely responsible for the homeless epidemic.
.Me too.
Yep!
San Francisco II.
U act like LA wasnt terrible before she was elected
The rent is tooo damnn HIGH!!
So move
@@thatoneguy94512 Not that easy.
@@thatoneguy94512to where? Somewhere that pays half the wages and charges -25% the rent? How is that a solution?
@tybarker5038 No one says you HAVE to live in LA trying to keep up with the Jones. There are homes right now in this country for sale for 50k.. but maybe it won't look as cool on the gram so instead live above your means and keep complaining 🙄
No crud Sherlock!!!
There are many reasons why someone winds up on the street: Drugs, economics, financial setbacks and/or catastrophic health issues not covered by insurance, poor life choices, mental illness and lack of skills/initiative, etc. Throwing money at the problem will not solve it. But there are some advocacy groups and non-profits that have made a financial windfall off this issue and, as a matter of fact, don't want to solve the problem because it would mean the end of their government funding and/or tax benefits.
Even when making good life choices things can turn bad
Build houses. Stop private equity and investors from buying them. Problem solved. We can solve the problem. But not if the only way we choose to look at it is from the viewpoint of Capitalism.
You speak of bad life choices but you know, warren buffet said anyone with an IQ of at least 120 can be a good investor. Well my IQ is nowhere near 120. It’s 105. Still try as I may, I can read and understand a balance sheet and do what I think would be a wise investment based on the data but can still come up short.
@@codacreator6162I'd vote you into council. You're right on the money 💰
@@jogmas12Nobody is immune to becoming homeless. All it takes is an unexpected illness or crippling accident and rent hike and boom, you are out on the streets.
I have been homeless for years due to undiagnosed ptsd from my abusive family and financial abuse from my family not teaching me to manage money and discouraged me from working so I could be dependent on them.
And with low wages and wage theft from employers and outrageous demands from apartment rentals I ended up homeless.
I am extremely grateful im no longer homeless and I always tell other people not to judge others.
Anyone can become homeless.
One of my aunts lost her home when her job closed down.
Face reality.. city officials, mayor, governor.. they don't care.
tell you what genius, the county bought a hotel 6 in hacienda heights and is converting it into rooms for homeless ,,,and it is the residents in the city that are protesting against it ..
They care about how much taxpayer money they can stuff in thier pockets, and 10% for the big guy.
Because most of them are landlord's also
They are all corrupt, but the uneducated people of LA County arnt smart enough to vote for something different 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you .. I have been saying that for years
Why is it okay to keep raising the rent in La??? It’s so hard on regular folks with jobs.
It's because government raised the property tax and inflation of all kinds of services, not just food. Maintenance service, construction materiel cost, etc. You should ask the government why LA raised the property tax and other tax like sales tax.
Because we don't have vacant property tax. Instead, we let landlords claim tax deductible on vacant properties.
My husband says it’s because people want to work a mediocre job and don’t want to better themselves to afford better. I married a nutcase.
@@KK-nl6zqA county did neither of those. The tax rates are the same as they were before the pandemic or inflation. The reason property taxes are up is because home values are up, not because of the goverment increasing the rate. And the sales tax here in Long Beach has been at 10.75% for a few years now, so sales tax didn't go up either. Plus, remember tax increases are voter approved as well. Not sure where your info is coming from.....
I don't like greedy landlords either but the govt screwed landlords for the last 3 yrs. Everyone getting free $$ & not paying rent. Their recouping what they lost & its got to be quite alot. Imagine owning homes & vagrants can move in & destroy the place & there's nothing you can do to get them out of there.
What about the people who kept their jobs during covid, paid rent on time only to have their rent increase, fees added that don't even make sense- those who say get a second job will not be saying that when the elevator stops at their floor.
Karen Bass just started her mayorship job and she's getting a 10%.raise..
Looks like she's sending a very successful trend for mayor City position..
They seem loose and free with tax payer money 💰
Karen Bass the first female black mayor of LA is a fish out of water; she is living large along with Mad Maxine Waters in a Hancock Park mansion.
Karen Bass: Thanks Homeless you adding to my retirement fund 🤑
There is a tremendous amount of money to be made in drug counseling, homeless services. They don’t want it to end the public officials in charge of California Los Angeles in the United States. Don’t want it to end, because their friends make a tremendous amount of money off of our wasted taxes.
Homeless industrial complex needs
suffering to keep the grift going.
Why font you send the homeless and refugees to the Hollywood Hills
Have you seen the new mockery from the devil!? 😂😂😂 that’s what I call the movies.. the devil loves to mock the blind through them. Well, at this new movie Willy Wonka.. it expressed that exact issue. They are ALL controlled by that same dude. It’s the devil.. hehe, so welcome to his kingdom!! Lollll but wait!!! It’s only his kingdom cause Y’ALL let it be that way.. y’all don’t want to make the loving God Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior.. I’m sorry to break it down to you that way.. but without Jesus.. there’s no life!! Again, the devil loves to mock humans (the blind) he takes delight in the fall of humanity. So, I’d say.. if you don’t have Jesus.. who are you to fight the devil??? 😂😂😂 he’s stronger than you!! But if you’re one of God’s children.. phew. The devil is nothing since the demons tremble in just God’s presence. Again, people blame God for how evil things in this world can be.. but people love to put the blame and not look at themselves as to what are they doing which is causing all of this madness to begin with. Humans opened the doors to the devil and his demons to rule on this earth.. so, deal with it yourselves!! But, hey!! God hasn’t left us.. he’s still here knocking at our hearts every time. We just chose to not listen!! 😊
Tent on sidewalk $0. 1 bedroom Apartment $2k.
Hmmmm?
This will go down as the most expensive "non-profit" experiment in human history.
Our president needs to stop giving our money to other countries and help Americans first
Drugs is the cause of it for most
They said it was 30%
Not a single mention of drugs
Or fatherlessness…
The mayor of Los an ageless is the worst mayor of all time how the hell was she elected?
by the crappy population, crap in, crap out....a failing city, in a failing state...
I think Chicago's Brandon Johnson is going take the title.
There's a D after her name
Tear the tents down, keep the bums moving. See if they have family who can pick them up. Quit giving them money, quit feeding them ..most are lazy ppl. If you build them shelters they will not go they dont like rules !! Ive worked in an area since the 80's filled with them, and actually had convo's
Wow. A really compassionate solution.
@@ljacobs357 It's easy to be compassionate when it's the spent needles, human fecal matter, fentanyl nod offs, and OD bodies in front of someone else's front door.
How is it possible that me with a full time job has it very hard to live in California and provide for my family? I moved to Nevada and now I own a 5 bedroom home that's paid for, something I could never do in California.
When other states sherrifs put their homeless on greyhound buses to LA, of course theres gonna be an uptick. We're sending them taxpayers while they send us homeless.
Because they choose drugs. These people have the help they just don’t want rules. Send them out to the desert and have them figure out how to survive
And why they choose drugs? Were they abused from young age? Depression? Financial issues? There could be many reason. But what we know is that homeless are exposed to drugs, diseases, abuse etc. If the nation does not do anything to help them, this will keep going.
landlords and rental companies raising rents to make up for losses during the pandemic. thus, making it 'ok' for All rents to go up according to the market. therefore affecting All renters whether in good standing or not.
yes, giving free rent to renters for 3 years was a great idea. Not. while the banks expected their mortgages to keep on flowing. some Landlords defaulted on their mortgage loans because of it. Now they are trying to make up for their losses, which is a normal thing to do. while the renters received free rent, the landlords did not have suspended mortgages for 3 years.
@@user-zy3qj2hb2smaybe the landlords shouldn't have price gouged their renters. They should take the loss and get a real job.
Sure. Keep blaming the world. You'll go far.
@@thelostcosmonaut5555Most of tham have a "real job" beside being the "evil landlord." What you libtards don't understand is that the many "evil landlords" are just regular people with regular jobs and are NOT the giant companies that rents out giant complex. They barely break even every month when they pay their taxes and expenses.
@@user-zy3qj2hb2s is right. can't blame 'em. 🤷🏽♂️
We need to separate homelessness from chronic street homelessness. Two totally separate things here. The latter is not primarily an economic issue. It’s an issue related to drugs and mental illness.
I agree 100%.
Very intelligent comment.
Not everyone has family that helped.
Many have family that hindered them.
I know because I am one of them.
@RogerMcMillanit is true. Speaking of you not having family that would help is precisely their point.
I understand that drugs can be, and often are, a byproduct of that.
I think you completely missed the point that they were making.
go filter em then
💯
@RogerMcMillan stop lying
February of last year I was evicted by court order. I had a commission sales job and I wasn't making any sales after I fell into a deep depression because my son and girlfriend were killed by a drunk driver. A year and a half later I still cannot find any type of housing or shelter. The homeless shelters only help people who use drugs or drink alcohol. Those are things I shall not take part in. The worst part is businesses will not hire homeless people. However, everyone is "hiring." Even though I have experience in banking, accounting, management and retail companies won't hire me because they think I use drugs because I'm homeless. Last year I was jumped and when I arrived at the hospital nurses also assume I was using drugs. They didn't ask, just assumed. It's not like I have a support system because I was a foster kid. Somehow I will figure this all out of my own like I have with everything else in life.
Hey man, I really admire your courage of not giving up and hope you find a way out of this.
Meanwhile, the Ukraine receives billions, and Americans are living like this, and drowning in student loan debt, they refuse to cancel. Yashua, take the wheel!!!
It’s time to utilize any empty buildings and turn them into housing. There’s so much wasted office space and vacant places.
Meanwhile, people who can actually work are stuck with insanely high rents.
Who pays for the renovations? Working
people with their owns bills to cover?
This is why im woking two jobs. id be damned if in going without a shower for a day. Cant be me.
My three-point plan to reduce homelessness in Los Angeles by 50 percent:
1) Arrest the drug dealers.
2) Arrest the drug dealers.
3)Arrest the drug dealers.
Yea lets blame the drug dealers and and not stupid high rent and corporations buying up all the single family homes jacking up prices all across the board
Alcohol and marijuana are legal. Not all homeless is due to drugs. Skyrocketing increases of housing and everything else is causing financial problems for all Americans.
How are the drug dealers causing homelessness?
Simply put, most homeless ppl are flat-out lazy and enjoy that kind of lifestyle. Try talking to them, I have since the 80's.
@@tybarker5038 Any addictions causes people to lose their homes or rentals, but it's good profits for drug dealers.
Newsom: we need more affordable housing!
LA: Builds luxury hotels for onlyfans and tiktok stars
RUclips stars “dahling” too
Then maybe they should become tiktoc or only fan stars they are already at there lowest so they have nothing to lose.
Thank Newsom and Karen Bass for this
Maybe no one can afford the “ Affordable Healthcare Plans “ or the Taxes ! ?
you should see those deductions....
Economic? Bro, it's a mental health and addiction issue. The government should have a zero tolerance for anyone putting up a living structure in public, especially the sidewalk. Why not ask for permits and have inspections enforced? The answer is the city can't get money off these bums.
Where the mental ill gonna go???
@jogmas12 inland empire. California should have a city dedicated to assist and rehab these people. We are one if the highest taxed state. This issue has been going on for years and I don't see a difference.
I work with Midtown associations here in downtown Sacramento we deal with all of downtown. They are being bussed in and driven in from other states.
Thank you. On the rare occasion, when a reporter asked where a homeless person is from, it’s always from another state. Usually a state that has terrible weather or treats, their homeless as criminals. Enough! I’m so tired of working nonstop to pay the bills while seeing able bodied men asking me for money. WTF
@@sarahjames9456homeless people are choosing California because Of your 950 dollars policy which allows them to steal from any store and resell it on the streets. that's like a job for them.
What did you think was going to happen if you don’t prosecute for any kind of drug abuse?!😢
Nah that soros’ son took over his dads businesses, this problem will come to every “left” city
You're not supposed to mention facts.
Drug addiction is a disease, not a crime.
@@ChicanoPhD Wrong. Your view is what has got us here
@@ChicanoPhD yes self-inflicted disease
As long as they keep raising the rent less people will be able to afford it thus more and more homeless people. The city knows this and don’t care. The ignorant people who run the citys predicted this many years ago. There are people whose income stay the same or gets raised by 25 cents a year or who got laid off. I think we all know what the future will look like in 50 years !
The rent prices is not why there are homeless in LA. Ask a homeless person why they’re there it’s usually rooted by something mental health related
@@EndTikTokandTwitterI'm sure rent increase has a lot to do with many of the newly homeless. Many homeless people are productive and work jobs and maybe we're just a paycheck away. You'd be surprised at how many live check to check
kick immigrants out. new immigration law. we are full. supply and demand.
So rents shouldn’t be raised even though everything eles raised? And house should be almost free and landlord job is to provide free houses ? Let me know how they goes for u. And even if the rent is at 1000$ or 500$ these people couldn’t afford or want to rent it
Factz
The American dream is gone and foreigners are still pouring in.
Your statement doesn’t make sense. If the American dream is gone why are foreigners coming here? The American dream has always attracted foreigners and is a huge part of our identity. Try living in a third world country you’ll realize being homeless and broke here is like being rich in Indonesia.
@@tybarker5038 Part of the American dream is own a house. A first time buyer will not be able to purchase a home at these skyrocketing prices, taxes, and insurance premiums. Another part is retirement which beyond younger American reach.
Foreigners will continue to come as long as America employs them.
Being homeless in any country is not good even in Indonesia.🤣
All the people complaining about rent: who exactly is forcing you to live in California? If you can’t afford it, move to the Midwest.
It's not that easy. People can't just up and move. Many people have lived all their lives in California and want to stay. I don't know exactly what is driving housing prices but it's wrong whatever is taking place. There are a lot of people with decent jobs who have worked hard only to have all their hard work stripped away by these ridiculous housing prices. Where's your sympathy? You're probably some rich person who's been fed with a gold spoon your whole life. I mean that's what you sound like.
I'm running Gavin Newsom's "This is California" campaign commercials in my mind as I'm watching this news report. Things aren't adding up... the two things can't be true at the same time.
Is Gavin living rent free?
tell you what genius, the county and state bought a hotel 6 in hacienda heights and is converting it into rooms for homeless ,,,and it is the residents in the city that are protesting against it ..
Welcome to California - the Sanctuary and Abortion State
So sad. I grew up in la and there were always winos here and there sleeping in the streets but nothing like this. Of course it’s easier to be homeless in la then then sone city where it snows all winter, and is super humid all summer.
Those other states can recycles are about 1 cent compared to California 5 cents plus those other states aren't littered with non profits that actually keep 10% of all donations so its secretly more like a scam
Exactly half of these people aren’t even from California much less LA
We got what we voted for!!!! This is our own fault!!!!
Houston has seen a dramatic reduction in homelessness. Focus on housing first, counseling and strict rules. Also, there is a central agency that coordinates the program and a significant amount of corporate and community support.
30 years ago Houston did away with its zoning laws, this allowed for apartment buildings to be built anywhere in the city. Right now it takes so long for anything to get the green light to be built in Los Angeles the problem will never be solved
Blue states are never going to do anything that red states do to solve problems.
That’s because they all moved here
The Democrats are too BLAME
Yeah right. Ronald Reagan stopped funding for mental illness institutions in the 80’s tossing many mental ill people in the streets. So that’s at least 35 % of the problem right there!!! Bub!!!!!
Strychnine. It's cheap, effective and permanent.
Stop paying them money every month and all the sudden they’ll leave
There is a two bedroomed two garaged shack bought in
2117 and abandoned in studio city with plenty of land very isolated
humans may be very clever, but we are not intelligent . if we were, this type of thing wouldn't happen. but we put material things & ego before compassion.
What do you expect when rent is as high as a mortgage payment and nobody can afford a mortgage payment on their own.
If its that bad maybe they should think about getting a house or apartment together and splitting the bills.
@roscojayco5527 I understand my opinions, but why must we Downgrade? Why are we moving backwards?
Problem is LA's climate is good and our politicians are not.
Never gonna fix problem by calling it a homeless problem . When the root of 90 percent or higher is drug problem . Drug problem that leads to homeless . Rent can be 1 dollar a month but the addiction supersedes everything else .
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
HELL WILL FREEZE OVER BEFORE THERE WILL BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING! In Southern California.
Newsom's paradise.
Homeless in Florida too
You can just look around the country and see that homelessness (unhoused residents) has increased (upticked). Start doing reports on what's NOT being done to solve the homelessness problem
LA needs to make more vineyards, so these homeless can work. LA could then be the largest exporter of graves in the world. The homeless could even camp in the vineyards and piss and doo doo on the vines because it's good for the plants and results in better tasting wine. They don't even need to speak English or have an education because English and education is not required to pick graves and put into crates. The homeless would have jobs and wine would be cheaper for the rest of us.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Please won't you be my neighbor. - Mr Rogers
But...wasn't Prop HHH supposed to fix homelessness?
I knew it would accomplish nothing, so I voted NO.
Too bad so many other voters believe in unicorns and fairy dust.
Too many people cashing in on homelessness, Why fix it when you are making so much off of misery
It reveals that ‘homeless’ are now reworded as ‘unhoused residents’.
It’s a PC thing
Where's all those illegal immigrants at, they are buses full that have come from Arizona 😂😂😂😂
We know the solution but the politicians get paid to not fixing it
I think you're right. I bet They skim off the massive federal funds for themselves.
@eckankar7756 it's their buddies that run homeless related businesses. Then, their buddies can cut them a commission.
Homeless crisis is getting worse and also migrants crisis is getting worse.🧐☝️😇❤️🇺🇸
look in those crowds of homeless, you dont see Mexicans or Asians....mostly white, the migrants are not causing their problems
Send them to the Hollywood hills that will shake th up a bit
Fully understand the struggle. In a briefing today it was stated many landlords were not accepting Section 8 vouchers. The reason is not the first voucher but the vouchers to support the rent after the first one. If a landlord was put into the section 8 process and the funds for the voucher automatically sent every month to the landlord there would be less issues.
Can't imagine what it will be like 20 years from now. You think this is bad just wait. Remember what it was like 20 years ago it was nothing like it is today.
Homelessness and the military have one thing in common.
It's all a racket.
we must address this crissis ..the lady says YET!! there is homeless housing NOT BEING USED in LA!! WhAT THE HECK? COME ON MAN!!
They have to close those open borders and start taking care of the poor people from this country ~!
Keep pushing for drug legalization and keep voting blue, I don’t know what to say. My 15 and 19 yo niece and nephew have a legal marijuana card to get all the weed they want.
Wow that is insane
to say homelessness is due to economics is only proof you've never visited these places on foot, talked to homeless people, or have EVER lived life as a normal human being.
Gavin needs to go, never will he make it to president with his bad ideas.
The moment I heard someone say that the reason for the homeless in LA is because people lost their jobs I tuned off the video. That may be true for a few, but is because they are mental health patients and drug addicts.
Waged have stagnated due to massive influxes of immigrants that don't do anything to help raise wages. Wages stagnate, and the cost of living goes up.
which results in living off of Gov assitence....
gee... I wonder why... I have no idea>>>>>>🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh well... let's just carry on with business as usual....
They're not going to really do anything. You'll have to seek out the resources yourself. Sadly, most people won't help themselves. The other problem? Businesses are leaving California, so its not easy to find work there these days. I was just in California and I saw a lot of vacant spaces.
The pain homeless people are going through is beyond comprehension . We need to find a better future for our homeless citizens .
just buy a $700000 2 bedroom house ffs
I live in a 21 foot RV it’ll be two years on June 10.
I live in the Southbay which is LA County area.
The lady in charge of homelessness I talk to her once and she was telling me and bragging about the dog she just bought and complaining of the heat and getting more tan which she didn’t like. She said if I wanted any help I would have to sell my RV and help would be two weeks and then those tiny little sheds and no guarantee what would happen afterwards.
Yes I called and confirmed plane and was told by several people that they had called and complained and guess what a nasty woman is still in charge, She doesn’t care about us she cares about her paycheck.
And for the people who are still reading this I am a 61-year-old disabled woman severely disabled there is no place for safe overnight parking for RVs there’s one for vets only there’s several for cars cars can park and go anywhere RVs are hated‼️
If only our homeless got the treatment of ILLEGAL immigrants
Am I hearing this right 😮 People are starting to wake up and look around and seeing what they have done to their own human kind and I don't know if they are waking up but thank God for the Children 🙏🙏💕 now stop using them as a experience of your own insanity and quit cutting off body parts and things will be okay
????????
You ok?? “Cutting off body parts” isn’t this huge phenomenon you were told it is. Interact with people in public. None of them are telling you about the body parts they’re cutting off wtf
Homelessness is the new normal in the US. We have to accept it and move on.
No.
IT HAS ALL BEEN PLANNED.
It looks like a very tents situation.
"a poverty-stricken man is often better situated because a poor man thinks of himself in relation to other bodies."
A country built on lies, illusions and deception doesn't deserve much.... Shoutout to the Natives on the reservations..... Everything has a price/karma...... Stolen land doesn't love thievery for too long....
Aleast someone sees whats really going on besides me
Housing, food, water and healthcare should have never been commodified in the first place. Time for change.
How hard is it to understand housing is unaffordable
They’re forgetting about the pro homeless people.. the people that are homeless because they want to be.
Well I heard for 30 years of house flipping this way to go, apparently not. I will not pay any rent from my labor and a fight to get me off the streets so come big.
If I were to become homeless I'd go to the West Coast or Hawaii for the weather and benefits for free. No surprise why they flock there
Hawaii is giving the locals their jobs to keep from getting overpopulated. Also restricted building permits to stop to much growth causing high renting cost. Come to Texas, we have skyrocketing housing costs and higher taxed properties appraisals.
If you’re on front lines everyday and your group hasn’t changed a friggin thing, YOU BE THE PROBLEM!
Its hard getting people who are homeless and most likely drug addicted and mentally ill to change.
STOP PAYING THEM TO BE HOMELESS
This is why we need mental institutions back, smh guys. Stop blaming rent prices
The leadership has failed the homeless.
Because they're not immigrants.
If they were Mexicans , they would would get asylum and shelter
Homelessness problem is getting worse , not getting better.
@1:10 how much does LA spend on homelessness? And we STILL don't have a way of "preventing" homelessness? WTF Karen..
"Unhoused"? You mean street bums
People get more poor and the rich get richer that the way this government work look at the food and bills and more taxes on top of all that is about time we all do something about it
Why, because you allowed them.80% have drug and mental issues.
Put them away to get help then give them a house once they are clean.
Its getting bad. Rent keeps rising and yet the pay is not rising.
