![Kim Clement PROPHETIC WORD🚨 [THE END OF 2024 SHOCK YOU] BETRAYAL COMING LEADER REMOVED Prophecy](/img/1.gif)
No matter how much money you give these crooks,they'll just keep it for themselves and solve nothing.
That's the problem right there. They get BILLIONS for this issue. The problem is everybody from the top down has their hands in the cookie jar, so by the time it gets down to the people its supposed to help, it helps very few.
Exactly. If they _solve_ the problem, the $billions stop coming. They have ZERO motivation to solve the problem.
Homeless industrial complex..
That Money will never hit the streets. We have a similar problem in Dayton Ohio. Homeless live in abandoned houses yet they are always burning them down. That's their shelter they're burning down. It's a mental health problem.
Just move out of California
Not about the money for the homeless. Its about the money for the politicians!!!!
No more money should be sent to California their claim is it's the richest state let them pay let their rich pay since their policies is the cause
@brianseely5423
The Real Estate power players are watching the market take a dive and are standing by on the sidelines ready to make offers as soon as it hits bottom. 10 years from now they will have that place spotless.
Follow the money.

I had a wife that became addicted to hydrocodone so I divorced her and raised our children. Last time I saw her in court 2005. She reported to the judge that California gives her $600.00 per month cash plus a food card and medi-cal because she is a drug addict. California makes it very attractive to be a drug addict in their state through incentives and rewards. It would be truly unfair for California to receive federal funds for a mess they created.
Good thing California is the one that pays the taxes it doesn't get federal funding like red states do dummy. 😂😂
@RadHam-wr8kyanyone punching a time clock is enslaved.
@RadHam-wr8kySlaves? What the hell do they do? Useless folks now, caught in a terrible experiment by those pushing Satanism to the next level. Break a people down and they will do as they will with the children. Think about the push to normalize pedophilia by so many democrats. 0 GOD for them and it's the children who are paying the price. Pure evil allowed to run a state into the ground with 0 consequences. They know this and are counting on the children to be blind to what's really happening. It is getting close to a time in which good men and good women will have to do bad things to bad people. No other way around it.
Thank God you left her. God bless you
That's an insult to people who were actually slaves. Earning money doesn't make you a slave at all.
This is not a money problem this is corruption in plain sight
I’m glad u see it!
Residual effects of all kinds of corruption. I’m only 46. Contra affair sticks out the most to me.
I think it’s opiate related. You get these folks clean and the homeless issue would be far less.
Yep .. Corruption .. low levels of homelessness is usually the fault of the individual.. this Particular case is text book corruption
yes over 100 organization's get the $$$ in San Francisco it go's on fake bills and top salary's of those staffs see London Breed salary over $400000 for doing what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine Gavin Newsom has dreams of being president. Can you imagine letting that fool do this to the entire country.
I’m afraid it’s probably coming. He will definitely get in one day. He may be 85, but he will get in. Proof: Joe Biden.
More destruction in addition to what the Dummy has already wreaked.
That's the ultimate goal.
Gavin cut his teeth on San Francisco, honed his skills on the state of California, next, the entire United States will be a filthy drug addicted den of Democrat voters with their hands out.
OMG!!! 🙈 I want to cry!! Looks like the goal is destroying Cali….looks like there’s no hope!!!
This is all a self inflicted wound. The current officials have no intention to fix the cities and the state.
Californians working from home, vote against the working class that have to deal with this violence
Don't they get federal money too ?
Making the problem bigger is the goal, to them they are doing great.
The Democrats keep busing them in from south of the border. The drug addicts,the psychos, etc. that is why the problem is getting worse.
Throwing money at this problem is ridiculous. They've been doing that for years and it's only getting worse.
Because the money never reaches the homeless, the administration is paying themselves hundreds of thousands a year to administer, and hands the rest to their buddies
How so? Speak facts what money? What programs or are you just repeating what the talking heads are saying.
@@jkelsey11 the hid, Homeless industrial complex.5 billion last few years no housing. Lots of charities will huge salaries. Bottom line, once taged as homeless nobody wants them around. Nimby's would be happy with small houses in camps in Poland.
Come up with a solution then
How come the government has money for immigrants but not for the working poverty Americans? H
As someone who was born and raised in California (currently still residing) don’t let them tell you it’s getting better. I’m 32 and this is honestly the worst it’s ever been not only that but it’s escalating and growing.
I’m 34 and migrated here at 2000
I hear you in this
I truly feel bad for all you in California that actually have your head on your shoulders. Such a beautiful state getting destroyed by dumbass democrats. Really hope someone gets a handle on this because I’d love to vacation in California again sometime.
I live in Sacramento and visit San Diego, San Fran and LA once per year. It’s worse every time I visit. The problem is growing
My father was born in LA in 1924 and said it was paradise before WWII.
well let’s stop sucking off the rich and put money in the working class and poor. all we do is suck off the rich people which are probably some of the people commenting.
What a mess Democrats have caused in our cities. When will voters wise up?
So dems caused this in red states too? How so?
All American cities are democrat cities
I’ve been asking the same question. I pray Trump wins next election. That’s if he can win or Dems cheat him out of a win again
@@jenniffertorres9545how was he cheated out of a win?
Worse run states are Republican...fact
"The government you elect is the government you deserve" ~ Thomas Jefferson
Mr Jefferson didn't know at that time that the unfairness cheating and stealing elections was going to happen years after. Most or all of those leftists crooks are selected by dnc corrupted agenda not by the people.
Elect???
@@kathystoneburner4947dont you vote?
Californians getting what they voted for and deserve.
They would not have gotten in without Hillary and others + fib and media corruption.
Amazing how business owners, citizens, residents all complain, yet they are the ones who have elected this politicians who implement policies,and regulations that cause the devastation they complain about. They need to start electing politicians who care about their livelihood, their families.
Californians working from home, vote against the working class that have to deal with this violence
Elections are bought in many Dem run areas. The chance of true change will only happen when the voters know the truth and only vote in person with a real State ID. Most street people are not real residents and shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Who do you think homeless vote for (even if they don’t know about it)?
California you voted for this. You had a chance to overturn the election and you voted unanimous for Newsome. Just like people who voted for Biden and Fetterman. Goes to show you Americans are easily fooled.
First step, DON'T ELECT POLITICIANS!!!
Politicians CAUSE the insanity, and are paid very well ($150,000/yr), regardless of progress.
This was years in the making. Back in the early 90’s we had a friend working as a police officer in down town LA. He took us to the downtown area after midnight. It was scary and looked like a 3rd world country come alive. Maybe if they had treated it aggressively then, today would not be happening
you must be talking about Skid Rod.. hard to imagine that nobody has tackled this problem for over 40 years.. it's HORRIBLE... and got worse after the pandemic.
These elected leaders win by significant percentages and people are getting what they supposedly voted for
Who's counting the votes?
Hmmm... you don't need to vote . No matter what, Peolosi family running Dominion voting machines are going to elect democratic candidate. This country is rigged.
Is it possible they are cheating?
California imports poor who vote to keep Democrats who offer social welfare programs in power.
I honestly don't believe people are voting for these politicians maybe at first but not anymore I just don't buy it anymore
You can't fix a problem if you can't be honest about the cause.
They beat around the bush by saying "housing costs" or "pandemic". It's the needle, pure and simple.
It's worse than not caring about small business, this is the DELIBERATE destruction of small business
Time to do something about it, no?
If small business is destroyed big businesses that are government controlled can take over.
@@nealcassady1189 well.....can't fix and heal a wound till you get all the puss and infection out.
@@nealcassady1189 I've been saying that since I was a young teen and I'm 37. That would do wonders and save money in so many ways.
wha t if everyone in the US boycotted going there or spending money there?
Truly heartbreaking and sad on what's happening. So much can be done but not a single budge yet from any government official.
Please, immediately contact all of your Congressional Representatives to oppose federal funds to California for the homeless problems that California created.
Are you high? California and New York are the ones that pay all the taxes maybe if they didn't have to waste so much money on basket case red states they can fix their own problems. Don't bite the hand that feeds you
LOL. the wealthy created these problems. Greed.
I was thinking the same thing when I heard “federal” should be giving them money as well. Just pathetic and they need to fix there own messy 💩hole.
@@DevilTravelsLet California's wealthy solve the problem instead of the tax payer..
@@DevilTravels You do realize that 90% of all companies are LIBERAL owned and operated? Not that businesses have anything to do with this problem, your argument is invalid. Homelessness only affects people that have given up. It’s a self esteem issue. Biden only loves this for free votes, he has absolutely no intention whatsoever in helping the poor. NONE.
The first step is to actually take a step back and realize that what you’ve been doing up to this point has CAUSED the problem and those who have been doing this are the architects of this mess. You need to have different ideas and leadership to have the slightest hope to solve the problems. Look at the root causes first. Poverty is color blind so it’s NOT a race issue.
Yet the government spends trillions to bail out rich people who made bad decisions 🤡
Its liberal policies more than anything. There will be homeless regardless but not up n down every street. Stop giving them free stuff. Stop giving them drug supplies and turning a blind eye to the drug use in open. Mostly,stop voting for Democrats.
That is all true, but the cunts in charge only want more money so that they have a greater opportunity to cover their appropriating lots of money to their offshore accounts.
Agreed!!
and yet for the most part those in poverty are not white in the areas where he is discussing
They want more money for themselves. Not the people
They want homelessness, billions in federal grants. Addiction, suicide, or any socially associated "problems " roll in billions in grants. Just look at some Indian reservations.
Billions received and still looks 3rd world.
No homeless = NO GRANT
NO DRUG ADDICTION =NO GRANT
NO METH = NO GRANT
Every town has a Los Angeles now. Every town has a SKID ROW NOW!! 2023
So saddening to see beautiful cities destroyed.
Not really you didn’t help build anything so you don’t have anything to do with it
The problems need to be taken to the doorsteps of the politicians, prosecutors, and judges.
Yeah get DeSantis to bus load them and drop them off on Jim Jordan's doorstep!
Drop them st Newsome address.
I totally agree but that goes for Republicans, Democrats, Independents and any politician cuz they all don't care about you or me.
Should of kept the plane loads going to Martha's Vinyard as the people there have greater clout with the Biden Admin and the owners of the DNC to do something about this.
@@anyone150 just what kind of load are you talkin about?
I live in LA and am old enough to remember when people who broke the law were sent to jail or mental hospitals, and people here illegally were picked up and put on a bus straight back to Mexico.
California has been infiltrated by CCP along with Mexican cartels paying off the ruling class.
💕💕💕💕💕 Gavin Newsome
me too.....
We live in an outlaw country!!
Just tell everyone the decade. I'll believe you.
It is not the government's responsibility to provide housing to people. If the state and local government want to do that, fine. Tax dollars from Missouri shouldn't be sent to California for a problem that is self-creaated.
My husband being a former Californian and Missouri resident, fled California as he saw the writing on the wall, 2004....and I living much of my life in beautiful Missouri, ( now Colorado) he has always wanted to take me too beautiful California, to show me the sights, will not,as too safety concerns...we are both of a strong conservative leanings ...he rarely shows his emotions, however has literally cried at times when he see"s the destruction going on in that state... unfortunately there is no system in place to remove those terrible, criminal politicians,and law makers in that state. They hold their power in the state,due to illegal vote counting... believe it or not California is a majority RED STATE, ..With blue cities...and the Red votes are vastly ignored
( Not counted, and mis- counted)also a lot of dead people vote in California ..do not be mislead the 2020 count was nothing new!
So glad I got out of California. But so sad 😢 my home state is in a downward crisis.
One of my smartest moves in life was to leave California.
Me 2
Do you mind if I ask whom you voted for when you lived in CA? Where you moved to? And who do you vote for now in your new State?
A bandaid only covers the problem. No matter where we move the problem covers all corners of our country.
Don’t vote for democrats wherever you moved to.
We did after 40 years.
Every business should pack it in and leave the areas and relocate their businesses somewhere with strong leadership that won't allow this crap to take place.
Do you think anyone will buy their businesses? How do they start allover again without money?
They just need to make sure they don't keep voting for this same s***!!!!
Is not easy some are just surviving , moving cost money
I think China will pick up these properties. Things will change at that point.
Better try your luck elsewhere, Arizona and Nevada has been doing great , Phoenix is beggining to tighten up on crimes at enforcing peace and order more.
Texas, Florida, Colorado, Utah and North Carolina are doubling up on public safety and business security and are reinvesting on improving their mass transport
I can’t believe this is America. We have fallen so far.
Yes we have fallen so far. Ever since 2020.
We? I'm not part of this. I just happen to live on the same land mass. Away from these areas , for certain!
THANK A DEMOCRAT
It is not America.
This is Los Angeles.

It is sad for business owners. It is happening almost everywhere.

@@Geezerelli i guess we all go back to caveman when the city burns. Like flinstone.
They have a vagrant drug addict problem, not a homeless problem.
Yup it's really about 5-10 percent homeless
5-10 percent mental illness
and about 70-80 percent drug addiction
If they are drug addicts, do they deserve to be helped?
@@DJDerpyify They need to help themselves first before anyone can help them if they don't want it then they don't deserve it its very simple
@@DJDerpyify You cannot help a person, who cares nothing for themselves. They are parasite to society until they are not.
@@DJDerpyify not on taxpayers dime. we do our due diligence here in Texas, california wants to enable the behavior, and turn around and compare it to a natural disaster for funding purposes?
Am so very sorry for this legal businesses owner! I am praying for you my friend!!!
ALL Los Angeles business owners should immediately STOP paying taxes. A group of owners in Baltimore (Fells Point) did this when city officials ignored chaos in front of their buildings. Amazingly, the city responded and took care of the issues.
They need to vote the politicians out. Go to their houses and protest. The politicians are in nice neighborhoods they won't care about the violence and destruction unless it affects them.
It’s very corrupt in California, I moved from Tennessee. I couldn’t believe it. There’s no accountability in government.
Why should federal funds be used for something the state and politicians caused?
Why should a state so against the United States Constitution be given federal funding?
Before we dump more ludicrous amounts of money into this problem we need to know why the problem is only getting worse the more funding it's given. Where is the money going? At this point it's just being embezzled. If you put together an Audit of the total Tax Dollars spent on Programs to stop Homelessness in recent years versus the results I am willing to wager the results will be abhorrent. The problems only gotten worse and I'm pretty certain were in the Billions of Dollars range at this point, someones pocketing the money.
They are being spent in wars
Exactly the6 made the mess They Must be made to Clean it Up
DERP!!!
As a person who was born in LA, I will never set foot in downtown LA ever again. Good luck to those who still want to live there
I walked downtown LA about 3 months ago. Drove up the Sixth Street Viaduct.

Yes it is 100% the problem our state has more than enough money we are the highest taxed effing state in the whole country it is not a money problem it is a greedy leadership problem for sure creptastic Newsome waste all the money and doesn't spend it on the things that are necessary they waste it on ridiculous things like some type of High-Speed Rail thing that they've been trying to build for like 20 years and spent like trillions of dollars on it and that's just one example I hope Biden does not give our state any more money it is just going to be wasted and whoever said it's unfair for Biden to bail it out after it is California's fault is 100% correct it is the governor of California's fault that we have this homeless crisis it has just escalated and gotten 100% worse he was out there in Sacramento marching with the defund the police people that is just one example of why the homeless crisis has gotten worse if they spent the money on the police and built more jails and Mental Hospitals we would have no more homeless giving them the money is 100% of the problem
YES, it's called socialism.
Getting all of your citizens totally dependent on the government then implement communism, it's been the goal of the Democrats sense the 60s.
Wishing these families and small businesses much love and a better government!
They won't have a better government until they elect one.

Also California: “We need federal funding to fix the problems we’ve caused!”

Probably lining their own pockets

If you do nothing it’s just going to get worst, so a real live solution needs to happen. Good Luck AMERICA
How to fix the homeless, criminality, and drug abuse problem. Remove Dumbocratic politicians from local government ASAP.
More than that is needed.
You do know that more than half of Republican supported states are welfare states and receive fundings from California & government assistance to support there poverty-led state right! Also, if you would actually do some simple research and educate yourself you’d know that most of those homeless people that are out in the streets are usually people that have mental health issues, drug abusers or just flat out reject homeless shelters that the state offers them! You can’t remove homeless people because they don’t even want to help themselves out! Simple logic!
And this is the reason that I moved to Mexico! I do not miss the United States at all. It may seem like this is isolated to San Francisco but it truly isn't! Arizona, New York, California... The list goes on and on! The best thing I ever did with my life was move here. I can finally breathe again.

To think you would put Karen Bass in charge and then wonder why things continue to get worse???
BTW thank you for GREAT reporting on this issue
The empathetic thing to do is take some of that money and build asylums to protect the people living there and to protect these people from themselves and get them the help they need.
EXACTLY
The demonrats in calif don't care about anything except themselves. 😈👹😈👹 This looks like proof to me.
Reagan closed all the mental hospitals while he was busy ending free college. Many homeless are not on dope or mentally ill, yet. A third are eldery people on social security that doesn't afford housing. A full third have jobs, 15 bucks an hour doesn't qualify you to rent anything needing 3x the rent in provable income, let alone have good credit and references. Government again needs to build subsidized housing for lower working class people. American standard of living is not what it once was. If people are not worth a market rate apartment government must supply one.
@@screenarts let’s see how that works out for them in California with the subsidized housing. One thing I never understood, my mom immigrated to the US as a woman of color, not speaking English, and poor. Yet she never turned to drugs, crime, always respected the people around her and her environment, and always kept her living space in order. I’ve literally seen section 8 housing being built and families move in, only to turn it into a slum/drug den. At some point you have to come to the realization that a lot of these people have major problems that they need help with.
@@screenarts also, maybe people should be working on obtaining actual skills necessary to make and earn more money.
Thanks god I got out of SoCal. As much as I miss it, I have experienced up close how corrupt it is. And the homelessness is so depressing.
For what it is worth, Albuquerque is getting just as bad with homelessness, drugs, and personal property crime.
The U.S. is imploding on itself. I pray 🙏 for the salvation of this great country.
Sounds like what happened to Johannesburg in South Africa. All the banks and large and small businesses just abandoned the city center; simply packed up and left the multi-storey towers for a secured business park in the suburbs. Crime and homelessness had become so overwhelming that it was more cost effective and safer for all concerned to just move away.
That means y'all destroyed the people to the point of poverty. Then complained afterwards.
@@Tony-v9c7s No, it wasn't the businesses that destroyed the people, it was the corrupt and thieving ANC government who promised much but delivered little. They didn't care about the poor, just as long as they were able to stitch up deals for themselves and hide the profits away in Swiss bank accounts.
NOT ONE MORE DIME to these cities until the state opens up mental health facilities so you can treat these people.
PLUS Treatment Centers that Accept Medi-Cal. There are plenty of Treatment Centers for RICH people by The Beaches. 🏖️ K-12 Prevention in Schools instead of K-12 Transgender ideology 🌈. And legal marijuana.
I feel so bad for that business owner who said he pays 14k a year. That’s crazy. I feel for the people trying to get by out there. Insane

Philippines seems friendly but very impoverished. I saw one video where it was like, narrow alleyways and trash stacked up the streets, children running around without shoes and running around in mud and human waste… how is that an improvement from California? I haven’t seen anywhere in California look that rough.
Did you find your child bride?
That man really stomped into view saying "I was asleep in my house and was woken up to people saying you gotta get up, your house is on fire." Then he was asked where his house was and he really said "I had a TENT right here." Haha.
His SUV(grocery cart) was parked in his garage(under a tarp beside his clothes and collected garbage)
I caught that. 'My house'. Wonder what the property taxes are on that fine estate. California is one of the most expensive states, with highest taxes in the land. So Californians deserve to pay for it. They voted for it. Maybe he can get a two room tent out of the deal. That cooking meth in a one man pop up gets a little warm.
Tax the Tents !
I live in California (67yrs) and it's obvious the politicians want this problem. Big money maker for them. Basically, 'out' with the middle class and big business, 'in' with the homeless. It started in the 70s.
DING DING DING DING
Out with the middle class and businesses and out with your tax base. So much so that they'll have to become addicted to federal handouts.
How about lowering the cost of living and applying law and order...
California’s primary problem with this is that they are making treatment voluntary. Many of these people have reached a point where they truly need involuntary treatment. As they are beyond the point of helping themselves. There is no other solution. The US needs to come to terms with the fact that we need asylums again. Albeit frequently inspected and well maintained asylums.
My cousin was put into involuntary treatment. It didn’t help but, her family enabled her to continue her drugged out lifestyle.
That brings up the subject of the treatment centers fleecing us. It's nothing more than using addicts to get rich off of. They hook up with the insurance companies. The 2 companies get rich &the addicts stay addicted. Too .
much money to lose if they become recovered addicts.
The corruption truly knows no bounds.
@@TheNeuroticjetfan exactly. These people just belong in prison. There is no treatment. It is cheaper to keep them in jail
The chance of helping people this far gone is literally nowhere near realistic they created a major problem
Enslave the masses.
That money won’t go to the state. If it does, it’ll go towards aiding illegal immigrants.
Even if that
Great job, Lawrence! I live in Los Angeles and drive through downtown everyday. This news story and portrayal is NOT an exaggeration.
Granted, these are some of the worst areas of downtown but it keeps spreading and getting worse. At 3/4am, ALL of downtown looks like this.
What a bummer people can't work out problems anymore im pretty sure the world will get much worse.
He’s totally right. California is not a good place to raise children, and it’s expensive as hell! Unsustainable life in Los Angeles, 1 bd1 bth, $2700 in a decent neighborhood.$2,455 1bd,1bath in a Downtown LA in a bad neighborhood. Rent control its in need urgently.
It almost seems that they are purposely allowing this to bring down Property Values!! 😢😢😢 WoW!!!
CA resident here, it's not just LA or SF. The entire state is like this. Allocating tax dollars to the homeless problem means funneling more money towards studies to find the root cause of homelessness. It's a pointless and endless cycle and residents/tax payers are asked to foot the bill. This is a good reason to keep Newsom out of the White House.
Thank you most people are saying LA is like this it’s the whole state.
Yep! The last time I was back home in Sacramento parts of it had shanty towns and tents worse than a third world slum! It’s the entire state.
It should be about the SOLUTION.
We just don't see that.
Because it's not their intention to resolve ANYTHING.
Exactly. It's about turning people into the government's dependents. They get funding from it.
Which tells me that the leaders are somehow benefiting from all this craziness, which is actually destroying California.
No way... NY got state & federal funding & bought $11,000 vending machines & fill it with condoms, drug needles etc.
The main state of emergency is : Politicians stealing all the taxpayers money.
Bass and Newsom are doing a great job, just like O'Biden. LOL
California people vote yes to every policy thinking they are good people and accepting. The policies are what made California like this.
Very bad policy and feelers
Filthy state. Some of those were forced Minto drugs by bad environments. I am very lucky jot to be out on the street but a lot of homeless havd menta lk problems besides a few. A Yale professor was homeless and no one believed her.
people has misused Freedom, and turned LA into this shxt, and loses freedom.
Skyrocketing cost of living and ideal weather conditions made ca like this.
Lol California is the 6th largest economy on the planet, theres a good chance that your state lives off of their surplus. You should thank Cali instead of jeering from the sidelines.
Put all the people on a mandatory 3 month rehab and ship them out with a bus ticket and restore the city
Thank you so much for this video I hope some Democrats watched it and learn something I hope the mayor of Sacramento watched it and caught a clue about something and hopefully the governor of California caught a clue about something but probably not because he is just hell bent on ruining our state I don't know how people voted for him they must put something in the water I don't understand it
The elections are rigged. No way they keep voting for imbeciles....no way. Same goes to every worthless politician in the country....no way you stay in 30-40 years but you ain't no good.
Rigged !!
They don't care as they live lavish lifestyles! To think Newsom might run for president is insane. Democrats want this for all Americans, homelessness!
They know what they are doing, "homelessness" is a business that they benefit from.
Seems to me like they want business owners to leave.This is not by accident, they have a much bigger plan in the works. All this is by design.
🎯
People in cities, counties and states that know how to deal with crime and don’t legalize it, are sick and tired of our taxes going to places to just keep throwing money at this instead of dealing with the real problem.
Problem is the housing shortage. Build a ton of houses, ban investors from buying residential property, so families can finally afford a house to live in.
The law abiding citizens should leave California it's not going to get better but wore.
What the HELL are they doing with the 1 billion dollars for homeless? They need to audit where that money is going. You can house a hell of alot of people for 1 billion.
By the time the "billions" get down to a political level where it could make a difference, it has been skimmed so many times that it is now "hundreds".
Don't you mean dollars?
@@MargaretFinnellyes, money
@@johnsnowie4157 I was also referring to the disappearing dollars as they slowly get skimmed off for administrative costs. From billions to hundreds to a few dollars. What can you reasonably do with a bunch of drug addicts? You can't force change unless they want to be "clean". They either stop or die, and it can be a long road in between.
@@MargaretFinnell yes I agree with you
@Paul-fx1gf yeah, it's called corruption
So… why can’t residents and business owners get together and file a class action suit against mayors, the governor, everyone who is allowing this happen- yes, ALLOWING- and hold them financially responsible for their losses? Voters need to stop approving money for “housing”. Housing is NOT the problem. Don’t be daft. Don’t be ignorant. The homeless that are a problem have been offered services - they don’t want to comply or they cannot mental comply.
Homelessness has become a disease in California and many other western states. I don’t think there will ever be a cure. The Methodology the treatment they are using in my opinion is like putting gasoline on a fire. People need hope. Feeding someone’s addiction is ludicrous. Who ever can figure this problem out deserves the Nobel prize in physiology, medicine and peace.
@@bert1450 no money for the police, no money for their public defenders and no room in the mental health and or jail system for the homeless. Maybe fema camps in the dessert is an answer. I feel they have ruined countless businesses people are living in fear. Maybe these camps can rehabilitate get them off drugs/alcohol, educate, teach a skill where they may have some sort of hope.
Exactly 💯. Passing out NEEDLES 💉. Here you go. You have our Blessings. Wait til you see the next Bill Weiner Democrat is trying to Pass in 2024. Make psychedelic drug offenses LESS of a Crime??? People are so BLIND. They are assisting people with suicide.
Lawrence Jones is one of Fox's greatest assets. He's a first rate journalist.
He will get fired like tucker did
@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk I suspect his contract isn't worth a quarter of what Tuckers was. Cheaper to keep him.
Said no one ever ! Lmfao
@@jessiemartinez3056 but someone just said it, so your comment is ridiculous at face.
@@Foul_Quince no they typed it ,, i meant no one ever said it as in spoke those words
Defund Sanctuary Cities.
The cost of food will rise. It's mostly Mexicans from Mexico working the fields in California. Defund the state, and it will effect food prices.
“I support the homeless. As long as they don’t set chop in front of my home/business”
That homelessness in your city is intentional
We are really stretching the limits of human compassion 🙏
It never was “Compassion”. It was about control of its citizens, money in their pockets. Can I prove that? Well, look!
Over 700,000 people have moved out of CA. Most of the businesses are moving to Texas due to cheaper cost of living and much lower taxes. If a person in a wheelchair can't ride on the the sidewalk, those homeless people need to be removed because it's a safety Hazzard. They're forced to ride on the streets. In Florida, I witnessed an officer tell a homeless person " you have 30 minutes to move. All that you can't carry away with you will be thrown in the trash"the. That's why nobody sees a bunch of trash encampments in Florida.
Gives the movie ESCAPE FROM L.A. a new meaning.
Newsom'S new Penalties to Leave California sure do seem to reminiscent of Escape from LA Shameful but the Voters have elected these greed driven people in office and they Don't deserve Federal dollars for their Actions They Broke it an They should fix it themselves
My girlfriend and I went to San diego for work. My mom said, "Don't get arrested!"
I thought, why would I get arrested? Well, another couple staying at the Hilton almost got stabbed, and I had a bum try and rant about something, and because I didn't stay and watch, he tried to attack me. Lucky for me, I'm not the one, and before I realized I knew why my mom said don't get arrested. I tried to walk away and he wouldn't let me. I beat this dude down with the cops watching across the street, and while that was happening, an alarm went off cause a robbery. NEVER GOING BACK
Geez it's just getting more ghetto over there.
California....you voted for this. When you gonna wake up?
Never bc we’re too dumb to change anything
GOVERNOR NEUSUM
IF THIS IS A REFLECTION
ON HOW YOU RUN YOUR STATE, WHAT WILL THIS
GREAT COUNTRY LOOK
LIKE SHOULD YOU EVER
GET THE W H.
Just wondering how Californians don’t travel around the states and realize what is happening over there isn’t actually normal?
They absolutely realize that it’s not normal. The people who live there are outraged and many are moving out of California for that very reason
CA'd be cheering two male giraffes trying to mount one another. They're full of mistaken polarity.
Lol, they see the world in that view. Haven't you seen what comes out of Hollyweird? They always say, "it's a reflection of our society" when it's a reflection of LA.
So Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi are normal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Hilarious
Former LA Sheriff Villanueva said in an interview with California Insider that the homelessness problem in California will not be solved because all of these 'charities' that are receiving funds to help solve homelessness wont ever solve the problem because then they would be put out of work. He said at least 2 CEO's of those charities are making over 800k a year. So, throwing a billion dollars a year is just trickling a few dollars down to feeding the homeless, etc.
Feeding the homeless only frees up money for them to spend on drugs.
The homeless industrial complex
Well he is wrong I work for a
Charity that works hard to
Get people off the street in Los Angeles and we successfully get hundreds of homeless families and individuals throughout Los Angeles county off the street weekly.
Oh and Villanueva was a snake 🐍 don’t trust this guy. He ran the Sheriff dept. like it was a gang and never took accountability for anything . Glad he’s gone.
They got themselves into this mess due to poor leadership and governance. Now they want us to bail them out. Those responsible should face jail time from the governor down.
Thank you for your real reporting of actual news that affects the public. Other news outlets should take some notes
And you keep voting for them
Let's just give California to Mexico and call it square .
Mexico doesn’t want California back at this time. Don’t blame them
