Mondays Are Moving Day For San Diego’s Homeless

- Every Monday morning, police officers and city crews show up in the East Village to move out the hundreds of homeless people living there. By late afternoon, the homeless are back. KPBS reporter Susan Murphy takes us to downtown San Diego’s tent city.
The longer you are homeless the more emotionally and mentally ill you become. It gets to a point where it then becomes hard to get out. I was homeless in San Francisco and San Diego and way up in Arcata North California. Thank God I had two skills of being a street drummer and I made handcrafted Jewellery. When I was living in San Diego I used to catch the train over to Tijuana and buy semi-precious stones there. They were very cheap. I finally dealt with some of those mental issues that I was dealing with and got back into my profession as a mental health case manager believe it or not. Now I'm retired living on a pension doing volunteer work in a kindergarten class 4 days a week for 5 hours. Back in my hometown in Detroit Michigan. It was quite a journey for 10 years moving around the country
Awesome!!! A great story of TRIUMPH! Keep telling your life story! Never stop! People need to know that it is possible crawl out of the darkness!
I have a question for you, if people had someone to give them a base to stay, shower, etc, would homeless people get jobs and live better. I am a real estate investor who specializes in bad areas. After I moved out of the house with my ex I was technically homeless. I had a large amount of money and rental homes but I didn’t have a place to stay. I slept in nice hotels but I got a glimpse into homelessness. Showering so important.
I moved to Arcata in 2002 and lived in my Honda, I loved it until I could not find a job and ran out if money. The last time there it has changed, the thrill is gone for me atleast. I like a bed and food, I'll work hard now.
Congratulations to you, what a ride god bless you
These people need a living wage you dumb people so filled with pride and vain...... it takes increasing someone's quality of life to see them do better instead of watching them suffer and creating an even bigger issue out of an already overgrown crises we need to do something because what we have been doing is shameful and embarrassing
I am homeless in Denver but I am not hopeless I work I keep trying I don't give up
i feel like you are bullshiting
Thanks to our gov..they giving $500 a month the illegals .walfair, housing, but our tax payed CITIZENS SOL!!
Go live on your democrat congressman front yard, take your friends, they say a wall is immoral, let them prove it
My Uncle Chief Lee Plenty Wolf led Standing Rock. He is a keeper of the land and a medicine man. He helps MANY people and he is a great man. He was also homeless in Colorado for 2 years previous to all this. NEVER give up. God LOVES you. I pray for you.
Homeless but still have access to RUclips I'm shedding a tear for you already!
I like how it’s everyone else’s fault but the homeless
What does that mean? I hope you’re not blaming the homeless. If you are it only shows you have zero understanding of the issue. Are you that heartless and uneducated? Think.
Keep talking sh!t about issues you know nothing about but keep it up til karma causes you to lose everything and you wind up living in your car or a tent on a street corner.
I remember when someone did try to do something about this and the state decided nice looking mini houses wasn't good enough. It's amazing just how out of touch people get when they are in office.
I don't know why with all the wasted money spent on 💩 stupid 💩 a small housing places can't be made to work..I truly believe it's corruptions at every level of government (seems like all these politicians are coming out wealthy)
Well yeah. Our tax goes towards babysitting them while they go on field trips and play golf every week even after they retire. I tell people all the time that the quickest way to get rich is work for the government. They will be set for life with those dens of thieves.
YES they are also well off is why...my own sister is oblivious to my life, she earns alot is the rich they dont care, they just see this as a problem and not theirs....
@@coletteannemaud1340 yep. That is until this country becomes Mexico. Getting to a point where people get robbed just crossing state borders. Can't wait. Our prisons are getting too full and riots we have are going to be tame in comparison to what is in store for them.
@@crimsonspade4305well, most politicians are wealthy prior to even adulthood.
Can u imagine how nasty it would get if they didnt do this.
wow what a beautiful woman.
where are you beautiful?
can you imagine helping them (without shoving your religion down their throat)
I know
Like skid row Los Angeles is now.
"He says he's been here for 10 years"...Umm, he obviously has no intentions of trying to improve his situation.
Why don't you improve yourself f... Boy!!!
gotta love liberal policies rent and property tax skyrockets people become homeless then
taxes go up more to carry the homeless one big perpetual FAILED!!!! policy thanks dems
Making money off homeless. They have the funds to put these homeless in housing.
@@christinaelena7279 and all of their lip service, year after year, and very little to show for it.
@@philobetto5106 Greedy Republicans buying up all the real estate and jacking the rents up to unaffordable levels is the reason for most of the homelessness.
I was struggling bad last year when I got my first apartment ever I don’t live in San Diego anymore sadly but I had to pay a split of $1800 for rent with my roommate in a place that probably was $700 a long time ago and I was lucky enough to find that where everywhere else was $2200 minimum with out the inclusion of any utilities I feel for these people and wish there was a way to truly help them I volunteered at soup kitchens before and tried to support the best I can in the past but I feel like it’s not enough sadly

I was a group home manager for 14 years. We have long term shelters here drug addicts won’t stay in because frankly you can’t come in drunk and on drugs. Lots of addiction and mental illness and addicts and the mentally ill don’t want to follow the rules around sobriety and violence against staff. We trying but you can’t help people unless they’re really at rock bottom and ready to get sober. Whaddya gonna do ??
What bothers me is all the garbage that homeless people leave behind
shawn brock Exactly... smh
Not to mention the sidewalks smell of piss and shit.
maybe you could go to walmart and buy them trash cans. then go home, look at yourself in the mirror, and realize how ignorant you are.
These people are filthy .. I have been homeless off and on for 20 years now and I NEVER leave any trash behind, only footprints. Always take out everything I bring in and I don't leave camp set up when I go I pack it all up and take it with me. These people make us all look bad and I am sick of it!!
That's why they "evict" them every Monday. To clean it up. They go right back after the cops and city workers leave.
I was homeless for nine months. I made my self invisible.my co workers had no clue. I walked to work everyday. And walked every night until I found a.safe and unassuming place to sleep. I packed trash and kept my spots clean. One difference is i did not use drugs. And i knew it was temporary.
It's a bump in the road, not final destination
Hope you’re doing better now my guy! Bless up
That must have been a hard time.
Exactly!!!Then there’s these ppl who park there tents right on the sidewalk and take a shit right on the curb. No one needs to see that.
There’s something you said “I didn’t use drugs and I knew it was temporary.” People who are homeless only touched drugs after as self medication but what you said about knowing it was temporary is extremely important. Most after a few months would’ve started to get down on themselves. Fighting to stay positive while homeless is an extremely tough thing so I congratulate you on that mental and emotional fight.
Verschrikkelijk, mijn hart breekt bij het zien van deze beelden 💔😥🙏
Imagine if you had a house on this street that you were trying to sell
Im from San Diego born and raised. The cost of housing is ridiculous.
I know my cousin lives in Santee its ridiculous. I live in Phoenix and its getting crazy expensive here as well. Was always my favorite place in cali we would always stay at the Dana inn or Bahia.
This is done on purpose to bring in the rich poor out who can afford. two three four thousand dollars a month well to do thats the plan
move to another place where its affordable
@@williamhaynes7089 lmao. Housing costs are rising everywhere! The solution is not for everyone to move.
Exactly.
I was in the Navy in the 1980's, stationed in San Diego. The city was wide open, beautiful, and clean. I never saw a homeless person.
I lived there also late 70s never ever saw home less or living in the parks and beaches. When I arrived I got settled in I signed up for every temporary agency there were. When I returned two years ago I was astonished what was happening to my beautiful city and ocean beach. I am curious how do taxpayers and home owners feel about it.
@@cloudsfluff5505 I live in East Village near Petco. I feel that it is a disgusting shit hole and I have sold my place. Tired of the constant sirens, motorcycle noise, shit on the sidewalks, the smell of urine, bodies lying in their own piss and shit , piles and piles of trash, roaches that come out at night and eat the food the homeless leave out... and last a lot of birds who feed off the trash then shit all over the place. Yes it is flat out disgusting. But Coronado is still pristine, as is Del Mar.
That’s the last time I was out there. Visiting a friend at UCSD beautiful house in LaJolla & great beach. Clean too
You all complain so much instead of being grateful that it’s not you out there karma is very real so I’d suggest you watch what you say about other humans who don’t have it as good as you. Especially your old ass you’re closest out of most to meeting your maker. I feel sorry for you and your relatives
@@marvintejeda9403 you are a liar.
I was born in Arizona and raised in San Diego and Pacific Beach Ocean Beach and downtown and I was homeless too when I lived there growing up when I was little it is very hard to live out there homeless cuz there's nowhere where you can really go and there isn't very many resources and nine times out of 10 all the shelters are full anyway just wanted to give you guys my blessings I hope everybody in the world is okay
KEEP VOTING FOR THE SAME POLITICIANS THEY SAY. BUILD BACK WORSE 👍👍👍
San Diego is probably the nicest weather to live outside in
What makes sense is if you keep the area clean, I doubt anyone would even bother you.
I've never understood why they're such pigs. I'm not being mean just look at them
how are they supposed to keep the area clean? theirs poop on the floor, because there's no public bathrooms easily available for the homeless. why doesn't the city put out porta potties and a dump bin so the homeless can throw away trash
Exactly
@@spaceman1465 ummm there’s porta potties EVERYWHERE and just like anyone else who has to go to the damn bathroom, find ONE or go in a discreet area. You do not SHIT right on the sidewalk !! Animals have more damn sense!
@@spaceman1465 they actually have porta potties. The reality is from all those homeless, only a handful or even less want to work. We have to see reality.
Why in the name of "GOD" are we sending AID TO VENEZUELA when we NEED AID IN AMERICA? THIS COUNTRY IS SICK!
Narses Rodriguez Aid is sent but politicians will spend the money on illegals... Notice that hispanics aren't seen in these homeless sites? The illegals are given housing, food, medical, etc in The Great Sanctuary State --- CA.
Now CA is lost forever bc they now have a new group of plantation workers that increase every yr.
And why can't we stop these illegals from coming here using all the resources that were meant to Americans that need it. Come to this country the right way.
The whole world is sick. And something really bad is going to happen if we don't get it together. Lord Have Mercy
Venezuela is in America and God has nothing to with it. It is stupid though.
Exactly! 👏
Actually the weekly cleaning is necessary if there are urine and feces to clean off the area they are sleeping in for their own safety. It is good that there is a nearby day center with services where they can go during the weekly cleanup. It is a start.
Hey I recognize that woman at 15 seconds. She was wandering the streets by the ball park completely naked and in a zombie state. Hope she accepts the help offered
Cleaning the side walk to keep germ and diseases down is what's happening
BULLSHIT !!!
They said in the clip. After trash pick up they had to clean the urine and feces up
@@madduck5472 moo
It would be helpful if the city installed a couple of large dumpsters (with safety features) that could be hailed off to the dump once a week. They could also use a city owned water truck to spray down the sidewalks.
Oh my goodness, just look at eight years of Hope and Change.
Jim Rr - Obammy did a great job... It shows in California
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah we were so much better off when George W left office....an illegal war that is still happening nearly 20 years later , economic collapse, housing market collapse, bank collapse, water boarding, etc Yup those republicans saved America.
Anything's better than demtard control.
I'm just thinking what's the Trump administration is going to do about it🤔???
I loved OB when I lived there 30 years ago. Paid $250 a month for a nice little cottage house. Now same place is 2100
“We’re not roaches or ants”. -said the man who leaves trash (or at the very least hangs with a messy group)
Don’t make a mess. We all live in this world.
Politicians don’t care about homeless people.
NOBODY IN AMERICA SHOULD EVER HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE STREETS! We give more to refugees than we do our own Americans, sickening our government is!
most of these scum want to sleep on the streets
we really dont give more to our refugees... america hates refugees wtf are u talking about
i mean ideally we are don't get me wrong, thats just not the world we live in :/
Been like that for years
@@normastoecklin628 It's getting worse. Housing is being bought up by investors who are raising rent higher than people can afford. That's going to be a economic crisis similar to the sub-prime mortgage one. Meanwhile people don't have places to live.
Some people ruined their own lives too. Remember that.
I was homeless and I looked everywhere for work til I found it and saved my money. What I found while homeless was that the other homeless didn’t want to work, they wanted all they could get for free. I’m grateful to no longer be out there. The government should step in and make it so California housing isn’t so ridiculously expensive to live here. It’s a disgrace. It really is.
Homeless have issues. They are use to their lifestyle. Don't like handouts. Have no choice. Housing is essential. But, don't want it. It's more being in control. Everything has to fit to get out of homeless and fit in. Support system crucial but often not available. There funding but that's tied up as everyone fights over how it's spend. There millions just sitting there gathering interest in banks while years are spent on politicans deciding how distribute those homeless funds.
If housing is so expensive in California why not go to other states where housing is affordable? Not trying to cause a debate just a question really.
@@webcrawler3332 because that's all you know
The same in Australia, although not on the same scale as your country, the homeless, here are given housing, funding, rent assistant, Jobs, free education and much more,
they prefer the streets.
It's a joke .
@@wandarask8444 America gives them all those opportunities as well but like your country they prefer the streets. They don’t want to live in free housing because they don’t want to follow the rules, no drugs alcohol, criminal activities etc etc.. not sure what can be done if they don’t want to help themselves
WOW THE COPS ARE DRINKING STARBUCKS WHILE WATCHING THE HOMELESS PACK UP THEIR LIVES..OMG..COLD HEARTED
Some of our homeless sleep at night, get up, clean the space, then go to a park or beach for the day. Then return at night. Many do not want to live in a shelter and their rules. They want to live freely.
I was homeless too but we kept ourselves clean and didnt live like pigs and have dogs . we didnt steal carts which makes us all pay more for food etc. as grandma would say you might be poor but you can be clean and well mannered
EXACTLY
look at the mess & trash. Keep the place clean. Rubbish everywhere 👎
They steal most anything & everything ,which increases the price for all, they want everything for free, few want to work. They steal our city recycle trash cans out of the alley.
WE HAVE MONEY FOR REFUGEES BUT NO MONEY FOR THESE PEOPLE??..BULL SHXX
All caps locks huh? That’s the problem in our country, HANDOUTS!!! Someone pays for it, I don’t want my taxes to go to people that choose not to help themselves County employees cleaning up after these people. Why can’t they get jobs doing that? It’s their mess
Austin klein it’s hard to get a job
Caroline Gray oh yeah! Especially if you never try! Good help is hard to find. There’s an opening for everyone in this country. No more excuses sooner or later you’ll have only yourself to blame
beek beeker The communist way
Caroline Gray Work harder
Help the people I know that’s what GOD would want for his children please be concerned and help them
What inhumane things are done to citizens that are homeless, when the City of San Diego is OWNED by the corporate developers.

They keep voting for the two witches
Pelosi is a greedy wealthy useless person no help even up in San Fran time she retired from office at her age of 80!
I suppose personal responsibility hasn’t been discussed.
No and the lack of awareness is breathtaking.
Personal Responsibility only applies to responsible people. Vision of reality or what could be requires motivation not sleeping or sitting.
East Village is vile. The homeless will shit on the streets and in between cars. or in the bushes. They can't put their trash in the bins so roaches are starting to reproduce on the sidewalks. Most of the homeless are so mentally ill that there is no saving them. They just roll around on the filthy sidewalks all day and night. Also the people barely clean up after their dogs so that adds to the problem. It is the most disgusting place I have ever seen to be honest.
. The average studio apartment. In San Diego cost 13 to 1,400 a month. One major motel and our Convention Center as well as one homeless shelter have been turned into migrant detention centers. Homelessness is slowly Rising especially among African-Americans here. Blame that on Biden
@@armyvet2285 Biden? Are you stupid? Sounds like it. Wtf does he have to do w/ it? They were there long before he was in office.
In comparison this makes Monday mornings much crappier than I've ever imagined them.

I called them out as gently as I can to there face, not with contempt but with love and gentleness.
What works well is pose it in a question versus making a statement.
Also invite them to explore what the Bible says about hypocrisy?!?! and who are hypocrites?!?! and what happened to hypocrites!?!?!
We also have to regularly do self-evaluation according to the biblical principles to make sure that we are not hypocrites ourselves pointing the finger at others calling them hypocrites!!!!
The Bible says judge NOT with contempt but to JUDGE “correctly”
Let the Word judge them, not us.
Let their actions and lifestyle choices judge them against the biblical principles.
Bring that to light in their faces!!
When a man is honestly mistaken and he’s told the truth one of two things happened:

Last year I moved back down to San Diego for 8 month, I couldn't believe how much the cost of housing had gone up. The manager at my apartment complex said that she had watch it skyrocket up 500% in two years. Just to give an example, when I lived there 20 years ago, in the same complex, our rent was $800, $25 for Utilities split. Same building 20 yrs later it was $2300 (not including utilities) with Cable add $60 and with Utilities add $170-250, around $2600 after everything. These are tough times indeed, my heart goes out to these guys. :(
Wow
You realize that illegals are mostly responsible for the spike in rental rates?
That’s what you get when you assholes vote in Brown, Waters, Pelosi!!! Those fuckers are communists and socialists through and through!! Their failed political ideology and agenda and the assholes who voted for those pricks is why CA is sucking dick!!! Yea no thanks!!!!
i lived in San Diego about 11 years ago. I had a one bedroom apartment for $850 bucks. I stayed there for about 5 years then the landlord wanted to DOUBLE the rent. It was fun while it lasted.
How much is rent in Ocean Beach
It's sad that Brother Shine doesn't see the point of cleaning there weekly , it's bkuz brother shine you and your neighbors litter and go to the bathroom on the side walks , that's why brother shine .
To all the homeless come over to my aunt Nancy’s house up in the hills Nancy Pelosi said you’re free to set up camp on the other side of the wall she’ll protect you can even go in to use the bathroom thank you.
Nancy's taking down her wall because "walls are immoral".
Joseph Ballon I would love to see that!!!!
Morpheus she’s such an idiotic moron!!!!!
Yeah! EVERYBODY should camp outside Nancy's house to show her about the problem!
Lol the other day during a speech she called Syria , CEREAL . Id say shes ready for assisted living , perhaps she could give some jobs to the homeless or illegals , by taking care of her, or beter yet give up that mansion for the greater good .
I was homeless in San Diego 1989-1992 camped out balboa park close to I-5 the zoo was right across the interstate. But before daylight I would gather all my goods and leave no evidence I was there. Having a storage locker helps.
The first man talking says he’s on paper. He has the resource to work at CEO. In fact being the one to clean up debris from what the homeless leave behind and that goes for what the residents leave in the alleys themselves.
Sounds like San Diego is handling it better than most places.
I was homeless for about five years in San Diego from my late teens to early twenties, nobody would give me work when I tried to find work and I never stopped trying. Groups that claimed to help the homeless never helped, even though I finished school with a high school diploma, never done drugs, smoke, or drank I'd get looked at like trash. While some police were ok many would terrorize me and others. I eventually managed to get some help to get on my feet and off the streets but yeah, five years. Most Places saying they use money to help are liars.
Every help group is a tax scam
God bless you, you never gave up and that is the most important thing
It's true if you want to help homeless help them yourself. I'm homeless myself with my kids and disabled husband. I'm trying hard to find a place but everyone wants you to make 3x rent with good credit. Rent is 1,600 to 2,500 a month. They made a law in California you can't have more than 3 people to a room, so it's not like I can get a 1 bedroom even that's 1,200 to 2,000.

@@12349Nitin I live a few blocks from 17th. The entire East Village is a disgusting vile dirty place. These homeless people have no regard for anyone but themselves. They are not capable of putting their trash in the bins. They leave it out on the street for the city to clean up. They also pull their pants down and shit and piss in between the cars.
@@washredskin887 I respect that perspective, and as you probably know downtown became unaffordable as it came to have more tall higher-cost apartment buildings, displacing lower-income residents. Also, the housing supply throughout our state hasn't kept up with demand for decades. A large proportion of people were living here when one day they couldn't make the rent, either because of an unexpected expense or low wages or because the landlord raised rents because of that very problem. It's a complicated problem. People have to understand that changing zoning laws to allow more housing to be built fast enough to keep up with demand will help reduce the growth in people experiencing homelessness. Yes, a lot of people come here to take advantage of programs and some are here from other states, but there are shelter programs in even the red states. However, downtown was once a very affordable place, then they put all the buildings. I'm not like an anti-gentrification activist. The problem is both displacement caused by gentrification, and the lack of supply and government costs driving the developers to raise rents. Homelessness has to do with housing in addition to a lot of other issues, but a lot of republicans don't talk about the housing element of the issue. I believe in having everyone who accepts it has a shelter bed, which is what they're doing now. Also job training, mental health, and drug counselors. Housing is mainly what many people need, but it should be done on a case-by-case basis.
California is an expensive state because of many things, mainly its strong economy due to the jobs here, but it doesn't mean that housing should just be a commodity where it goes to the highest bidder, displacing previous residents. It's not like everyone should have the right to live here, but housing can be decommodified such that the developer doesn't need to make a profit in addition to breaking even, Singapore's or Austria's model. CA AB 387 of 2021 just studies those types of models. Housing is a complicated issue. And I know there's compassion fatigue, but not all of these people made bad choices, it's just that housing here is very expensive.
Politicians shall suffer harsh painful endings for treating people like animals
The problem is there are plenty of homeless people who don't give a shit to even attempt to make their lives better.. leave trash everywhere, piss on the sidewalks, sit around and smoke meth all day.. I understand there are genuine people in shitty situations that have found themselves in this situation that are trying to make more out of their lives as well, but the situation has gotten out of control in san diego.. downtown, ocean beach, el cajon... it's actually embarrassing seeing how nice other places are in contrast. Between the homeless and the price of housing, moving doesn't sound so bad at this point
If you're going to be homeless get a van or a truck they don't have to be large my truck cost me 1,200 got a cap on it a bed inside gym membership for shower you can support yourself with a part time job living like that witch there are plenty. minimum wage whatever. People don't know I'm homeless unless I tell them it's pretty good if you do it well.
Cloudberry Avain I saw this other video on RUclips where there was this whole community of homeless people that “lived” in a Walmart parking lot. Since some Walmarts allow people to park overnight, it provided them with a safe area to sleep in.
Yer not homeless you are a VAN dweller that's houseless.
Keep on truckin😁
Michael Beach no homeless person has that money you are not wise
Michael Beach sorted well you cant be judge..
I cant understand how come a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants let its own population suffer on the streets like that ?
Because Communists hate Americans.
Because you're totally out of touch with how most of these people use and work the system.
That's one of the smartest comments thus far...til mine
Only illegals are dreamers, Americans are not ?
amolrsagar Let them drunks and drug addicts suffer!!! It's their fault they don't want to be successful in their lives and be independent!!! They are grown spoiled adults living in their parents basement too lazy to take care of themselves!!! When the parents get old, pass away or kick them out they have nothing and live on the streets for eternity!!! I don't feel sorry for them bums!!!
Just because your homeless no need to be sloppy about it. Really give them a ticket and how is that supposed to be payed
Sad situation, when homeless people need affordable housing, and are forced to live outside due to a lot of greed, going around all over the country.
I guess a room, a shower and clean clothes has become the new American dream.
But they don’t want to earn it.

Gregory Courson I was homeless myself but not because drugs or laziness I got very sick by working 8 hours 2 jobs, buying my house to give to my son the day I died, right now I am working again. I bet you are a loser playing Nintendo and been supported by your mother lazy numb.

I pray the city dose more
thank you homeless,,you are keeping people on a payroll..
Why aren’t these people working? They look young and able bodied.
I know.. they could do minimum wage jobs at the least?
Allen J they don’t want to get off the streets unless it’s a handout. Next time you come across a homeless person begging ask them if they want a job jackhammering for $120. Don’t worry they never say yes.
I hate to say it, but most homeless people do not want to take any personal accountability for their situation. I work with the homeless and the amount of entitlement is staggering. Sure, there’s always the exception, but the majority that I have seen choose homelessness. Or, as one client told me when I offered housing that required being drug free, “No, I like to March to the beat of my own drum.”
It's sad. Try helping.. No person should live this way. Hugs

I believe in the sink or swim approach to life and these people don't even want to try. How can you help someone who isn't willing to help themselves? Every person in that report looked able bodied to work.
100% true!!!
Not when the burger place discriminates because you are homeless. I was homeless for about five years in San Diego from my late teens to early twenties, nobody would give me work when I tried to find work, Groups that claimed to help the homeless never helped, even though I finished school with a high school diploma, never done drugs, smoke, or drank I'd get looked at like trash. While some police were ok many would terrorize me and others. I eventually managed to get some help to get on my feet and off the streets but yeah, five years. Most Places saying they use money to help are liars.
There are places to get help, get cleaned up, halfway 5:19 decent clothes can be obtained at some churches. Don't go looking for a job looking like you were hit by a train ! I started working full time when I was 13 ! And never went a day without work ! Sorry, no tears from this guy !
i wonder for people who get tickets that have no jobs and money how the hell does the city expect the tickets to get paid
Maybe they will all go to jail and get food lodging and protection. This is a wasted threat.
Community service ?
Writing any ticket is the ticket makers job and there are incentives for writing them.
I knew 2 homeless guys would give change to one said he knew how to do all kind of work while the woukd always tell me he could finish drywall (I was always in work clothes with mud, paint, sawdust etc on me) and I kinda said ok. One day 8 needed help finishing about 170 board on a big job so I asked him to help me out. He's been with me for 4 yrs now one of my best finishers. We got him in an apartment in a month I helped with a boarding house room at 120 a week at first until then. He worked hard and his only vice is bud light which he isn't that bad. He really just needed a chance and someone to believe in him he thanks me all the time and always tries to help others. The other had a totally different mentality he just wanted money for doing nothing, instead of an Holy rate he wanted to get paid by the job. As if he were driving his self and not using my tools entirely, he made excuses would disappear but I still tried to help. I gave up after 2 weeks or so he was content with his existence and didn't want more I noticed alot of them are just trying to get free money and free stuff.
Instead of kicking them out how about make homes for them feed them give them clothes so much money that government has but don't help so much greed in their hearts they are humans we are not better than no one we all need to help one and other love one another God bless you all may God be with everyone 🙏
Nobody comes and cleans my house every Monday
Then don't make any messes
I know if they were not dirty it wouldn't be a problem. You are right!
Sawdust723 WHO PAYS YOUR HOUSE PAYMENT BUYS YOUR GAS PUTS FOOD IN YOUR KIDS BELLY. I KNOW GOD DOSE AND I THANK HIM FOR IT .BUT THEY HAVE TO SOBER UP AND GET OFF THE DRUGS. I GIVE THEM MONEY AND FOOD.

lol in CAyou have to reward weakness remember its called liberalism.
Sawdust723 my cleaning lady does
Damn shame that ILLEGALS receive taxpayers money in santuary cities, and here we see homeless Americans having to live like this. I bet some are Veterans.
This is sickening to look at.
They're not veterans. "Brutha Shine" is no veteran. Neither are his "associates".
Joe F So true its ridiculous
@@nancyayers6355 I am a nurse and dental hygienist. I do local volunteer work and international humanitarian aid work. I have done a considerable amount of volunteer work with the homeless providing dental-medical aid. This includes skid row in LA. I praise GOD everyday that I have food, shelter, and water. I have compassion, sympathy, and love for every person I help. Context is everything. Each person has a story. Some are victims of violence. Not every homeless person is an addict or drunk. You never know when you could end up homeless or without. The restroom issue is tricky. In skid row when they installed street restrooms the gangsters started to charge the homeless for access. It made things worse. When you actually work with the homeless you learn that this issue is very complicated and solutions are difficult to implement. You should watch the "invisible people" videos regarding homelessness. Also, I have worked with homeless families with babies and children. They need prayers, money, healthy food, shelter, water, jobs, compassion, and a hand up. This issue will not be solved with hate or malicious attacks against homeless individuals. When you actually work with the homeless community you really learn how we as a society have failed them.
Joe F FUCK OFF!! “ILLEGALS” are here to work and not free load! Most of these are lazy drug addicts whom have choices, they are just too addicted and lazy! Think before you insult people!!!!!
Ericko EV when illegal aliens take ANY form of assistance, have any children in a US school, and/or go to a hospital without paying they are taking from the citizens of the US. Freeloading off of the tax payers in the US. Regardless if there are homeless Americans doing the same the Americans are US citizens. If we got all the illegals aliens out, we could take care of and help OUR homeless citizens out of they’re situation whether it be drug rehabs, job training etc.
Homeless doesn’t mean hopeless.😢
OMG may God help them all
I was homeless in Hollywood for one day in February, 1990.
I sneaked into Griffith Park, at the gate, at the end of Canyon
Park Drive. I slept for a few hours, holding onto my Irish Wolf-
hound Rory for warmth. During the night, I woke up, to see two
green eyes staring at me in the dark. It was a curious coyote
checking us out. Rory didn't chase it off, as he usually did.
It really was a special moment. Later that day, I was picked
up by a Cadillac limousine and was fortunate enough to be
housed in a mansion in Whittier for three months, until
I got on my feet again. I was the lucky exception. It was
a harrowing experience I will never forget. This email
is from Dublin.
Are you my dad's adopted son? He lived in Whittier
Sure....been homeless a few times to know this sounds to good to be true mate
if rent was not such an expensive rip off. there would be less homeless
+Don Corleone omg don really . I heard alot of sec 8 people doing that . then they are homeless.
David Lee if we all die, then all tge problems will be solved
David Lee right and if jobs payed more with benefits.low rent nicer housing. they have this problem but America is a backward country
Americas is not backwards, it is the liberal policies in these cities that is backwards.
DaveSquibbSr look I don't have to think like u so shut up
Imagine how much trash would build up if they didn’t clean that once a week
The Cities Have to clean up often because you won't. If you at least cleaned up after yourself this might not happen. Have pride in yourself.
They clean every week. Imagine cleaning after a month ewww gross!!!!
Ikr it only takes a week for the streets to look like that?! Jesus.
It's the same in Canada. Just say no to drugs! A lot of these people don't want to get off the drugs. It's crazy
Stayed there for a year, i know exactly where they're talking about. Went to that center to get showers and food.
Theres too many job openings out there for the homeless people who aren't mentally or physically challenged. They need to put down the drugs etc. And use that same energy to get the real freedom of life.. Happiness!!! God be with them. The state needs to do something asap
If you lose your job you lose your flat or house it's that easy to become homeless. People need to stop being so judgemental and narrow minded towards the homeless. And the Government there out of touch with reality
Gary Smith Definitely right.
The average American lives two weeks away from becoming homeless.
fuck them
Bums....
craig charles *you
I moved from San Diego after 30 years, now living in Thailand! You do not see anything like this here, people here are pretty much self sufficient when it comes to the less fortunate. And America is the richest country in the world!! AMAZING!
Because in Thailand they don't have black people 🌚... Yup i said what i said. And it's the truth 😂😂
No America was the richest country in the world until our president's sucked everything out of it and these idiots keep voting like it means something.
"people here are pretty much self sufficient when it comes to the less fortunate" but they have a lot more poor people, hence called the "3rd world".
Because all the "riches" in this country goes through the government's hands first, and THEY decide where the money goes. Sound familiar? It's called Socialism..... and it sucks.
God bless you Steven Hillard
Citation issued to someone who does not have an ID or an Address, let alone an income. So how the hell they gonna pay that citation?
Brother Shine thinks that it doesn't make a lick of sense to clean the urine and feces off our public streets and sidewalks. There are a lot of options in shelters and rehabs, if one is willing to be sober and follow rules while you're there. Rather than sit on Hepatitis street...
well said. thank you
Exactly!!! That’s what I was going to say? Dude don’t understand that and thinks it’s normal to just throw trash wherever you are ( new concept even the mentally ill can grasp… use a fucking BAG!) and take a shit or piss right there on the sidewalk? Would they like it if the residents InThe area just decided to come into there tents, take a great big shit right there. Then proceed to empty there garbage cans right there inside there tents? So disgusting !!!
Like Frederick said, keeping the sidewalks clean. Complaining about having to move every Monday? What are they supposed to do, leave the sewage and garbage where it is? Great breeding ground for disease.
They expect everything catered to them. They’re homeless and filthy for a reason.
Leave the homeless alone!!!!!
As I watch this , I can't help but to think about the last days of the Roman empire.
i was stationed in SAN Diego this is what liberalism looks like ,
We run our business out of a building on 17th and J. Which is half a block away from the day center. This is a real sad problem to see, made even worse by the fact that the homeless pitching tents in front of my place a business has a real negative effect on us. Just last night a tent was pitched right in front of the main exit gate. I couldn’t leave. I asked them to move and they told me in a not so friendly manner, no. I had to wait for the cops to clear them out just so I could go home. They left tons of trash, and clothing that I now have to clean up myself.
Be careful!🙏 Ur likely to become a target now 💯IF ur not already! Gang stalking is REAL and goes deeper then people realize!
You have a right to access your business to do your business. If the homeless person that was in the way wants to get help from the gangs, there's not much you can do to stop them.
It seems they are more interested in sending ganga after each other than businesses there. The cops won't get as involved.
😭
@Musix Videox You expect that one person to solve the issue alone? You blame him for people camping in front of his gate? Courtesy and treating someone else with respect goes both ways.
@cHriS I have 2 friends that have pulled themselves out of addiction and all the accompanying problems, going from losing their apartment to surfing couches, and when kicked out of the places of the few people that would allow that, living in their car. Because they were doing drugs and drinking prodigiously while couch surfing, they were never allowed to stay with me, nor would they have if they were living in a refrigerator box. I’m not going to endanger myself because they squandered their lives on drugs and alcohol. They ended up getting arrested and cleaned up eventually. They became more productive, moved into their own place again, one relapsed and passed of an OD. His partner is now left without him but he has remained clean. Having overcome a serious problem with weed myself, I know that only when you make the decision will it happen. It’s naive to think that being nice is going to solve their problems. I don’t claim to even begin to know what to do about this exponentially growing issue, but I know that it’s them that have to take the first step. No one can take that step for them, not me, you or anyone.
things are so messed up that people can just steal shopping carts to move their own stuff, and that's not even mentioned, much less considered a crime.
Until you walk a mile in someone's shoes you don't understand
@@shaynaryan6498 you can't just steal private property, including shopping carts.
Michael needs to have them over to live in his house he is pocketing a check every month of donations
It NEEDS to get cleaned up and sanitized. There was a hepatitis break out not too long ago. They should be HAPPY the State is cleaning up their trash
I grew up in Poway just north of San Diego. I went to Palomar college during the 1980s and paid $50.00 a semester to go their. I graduated. I then went to SDSU and graduaded in 1991. These politicians that are in control of California should be voted out of office! Their turning one of the best states into a shit hole. People of California wake up and elect new people to public office!!
Preach it!
Wake Up
Yes, the progressive liberal democrats are destroying our cities.
You guys got that right.
Trouble is you can vote for Lucifer Satan Beelzebub or Belphegor!
@@Isochest if lucifer or satan is going to protect my home and money, i would vote for him!!
"we aren't roaches".....
Bruh, a city worker had to literally clean your feces off the sidewalk.
Riiight
I would say worse than roaches.
He mentioned a very key point, he said we are not roaches or animals , he said we are human jist like you !! OK then if that's the case you should be able to get back on your feet get a job and get off the drugs just like we do it , we work we pick up our trash we don't poop on the streets WE ARE THE SAME RIGHT !!!!! THEN GET ON AND START LIVING !! We all struggle!! Nobody has it easy !!! It's part of life !!!!
California weather is perfect for homeless people no snow and near the ocean
If they did actually build housing for the homeless, wouldn't that just attract more to that area and double the problem?
That's why they don't build more. It attracts more
I know it wouldn't be much or do alot but i think alcatraz should be utilized for the homeless .
@@geraldhoskins2021 At least that would keep them from shitting on the streets.
TheRantingCabby concentrate the problem that already exists due to dem policies. They give the $ to their new voters the funded un invasion force coming across your/our border
In other words, don't have a solution for anything because it will only make the problem worse? What if there's an earthquake and the government should just ignore the victims?
Blame the politicians!!! And those politicians still wants the Illegal immigrant there for sanctuary?
The DEM are to blame and Hollywood!! Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Feinstein.. they don’t care!! You should not vote DEM they come around just to get your vote!!
Illegals come in and take Americans place!! DEM DEM DEM
Mel Vrana this is becoming so ignorant 🤦♀️ most of the homeless people either they don’t wanna work nor get off the streets they get offer shelter and most refuse .. why not ask for a actual smart solution like lowering house prices and easing the minimum wage so people who actually work isn’t out on the streets
U all just racist af. Thinking ure entitle .. this world is for people who actually work if u don’t go to work u won’t have anything that’s a simple rule and race has nothing to do with this.
Illegals aren’t taking anithing it’s them making bad decisions in their life’s there is so many opportunities for everyone in this country they just don’t want to take them
10 years homeless…they want to live that way!! They don’t want low income housing.
This is 💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢 we have to help them😩😩😩😩😩
