Multi-Agency Effort Cleans Up Homeless Encampments in Restrooms at Venice Beach
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- On August 4, 2023, a collaborative effort involving the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Recreation and Parks, and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. was undertaken to address a homeless encampment situated in the Venice Beach restrooms. To ensure safety, workers donned white hazardous materials suits in adherence to established protocols.
In a bid to enhance the efficiency of coordinating efforts across various departments engaged in managing homeless encampments, Councilwoman Traci Park's office appointed a specialized Homelessness and Housing Coordinator to streamline approaches.
The cleanup operation was executed by three distinct waste management teams, each with specific responsibilities. The City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and Recreation and Parks teams, distinguished by their yellow safety vests, joined forces with the Clean Harbors Environmental Services Inc. team, identified by their orange safety vests. The Clean Harbors team initiated the process by carefully sorting through refuse to identify and segregate hazardous materials such as batteries, syringes, and urine. Subsequently, Los Angeles Public Works sanitation workers took charge of collecting the remaining non-hazardous waste.
The cleanup endeavor received substantial reinforcement from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) played a pivotal role in extending vital outreach services to aid unhoused individuals and cater to their necessities.
To ensure the safety of all participants and to garner cooperation from the homeless community, Los Angeles Park Rangers maintained a continuous presence throughout the duration of the cleanup operation. This endeavor aimed not only to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the area but also to uphold safety standards.
Notably, despite the enforcement of Ordinance 41.18, which prohibits sitting, lying, or sleeping in public places, as well as storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property in the public right-of-way, no citations were issued during the cleanup operation at the Venice homeless encampment.
It is crucial to comprehend that these cleanup actions, like the one conducted at Venice Beach, are just fragments of the broader efforts undertaken by the City of Los Angeles to tackle homelessness. It is imperative to acknowledge that these initiatives are not comprehensive solutions to the larger issue. The city remains actively engaged in devising sustainable, long-term strategies to address the root causes of homelessness and provide essential resources to those in need.

I like how that tweaker is yelling about tax dollars when he doesn't even pay taxes.
All I heard him say was “blah blah blah, blah blah” I don’t speak meth-mouth so I was a bit confused.
I thought they pick him up
if he buys anything (a pack of cigarettes etc) he pays taxes
Very large amount of Americans with mental problems, should have left the drugs alone years ago, now you all pay.
@@skitzochik LMAO ever heard about income tax
They need security out there 24/7 Would be cheaper than cleaning this up and fixing the damages all of the time. I remember when you could take your kids to the restroom on the beach.. no more .. be afraid they’d get leprosy.
Let’s see your calculations that prove 24/7 security would be cheaper. Unless you are just talking out your bum.
In many tourist oriented beach towns in "normal" states restrooms are washed nightly and doors are made fairly flimsy to not allowed unacceptable encampments. It's amazing California is sacrificing its tourism to accommodate the mentally ill, alcoholics and others who choose to shelter in the bathrooms etc for many days....these videos show how far gone the state is!
there's no point in cleaning; they're going to go somewhere else, and more and more people are becoming homeless as we speak.
Yes liberals are insane
Most States have closed their Mental Istitutions, so where do they go? We also have a challenge with those that come out of the DOC network. And people want too say that this is the Greatest Country in the World???? On a side note, California is 4th largest economy in the World SMH!!!!!
its a multi billion dollar industry to those doing it all.
Reaganzap closed the mental hospitals.
Love the Friday evictions from the Toilet Motel. Gray mophead is always there.
Hell yeah mop head / helmet hairs 😂 is the man luv seeing that dude 😂 toilet motels is the best name ty for the laugh.
I'm lovin it - 'TOILET MOTEL' ! 😂
With their three bedroom house they have to move out
OMG! Can you imagine being a tourist on the beach (never seeing one of these videos) thinking oh there is a rest room little Sally can use.
I'd have to have on hazmat suits to go in to clean these places!!!
The dude on the bike towing that bin behind him, "Don't touch personal property", LOL! He went to all the effort to steal that, so he doesn't want anyone to steal it from him. Thieves' code of honor.
He found it.
I know that dude. He used to get me LSD from this chick in SanFran. He's a cool dude, just not real good at handling $$. Irvin! If you see this, I love you, bro! Be safe out there!
@@smokingjoe9864no it's his "friends". Stuff. But he can't remember their name😂
Well yeah…. Don’t steal mu 💩 I stole 😠🙄
Venice beach is officially off my vacation destination travels.
It was nice in 1985!!!
Talk about *hit stain on Venice Beach and a total NO GO for Tourist. Way to go Newsome! I'm sure you are very proud.
The tourist have Santa Monica Beach. You Conservatives don't need every Beach on the ocean.
@@smokingjoe9864All liberals should not be allowed on the beach.. they should be sent to an area away from normal people
Trump made people homeless.
@@smokingjoe9864stop doing meth and sober up
What happened to public property? do these guys think that they own the bathrooms??? What a waste of hard working tax payers $$$$$
They need a whipping from Indiana Jones.
@@bluemountaindrivepae1970’s style 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😜
They got their issues, drugs, mental. Thinking about 'hard working tax payers' are not on their top of the list, naturally, they are in survival mode, how to get by day to day.
What an ingenious restroom design! Free Wi-Fi to boot! Venice Beach is inviting the homeless to move in!
I lived in Southern California for the first 48 years of my life, which for the most part was pretty awesome. However, for the last few years, the homeless encampments got out of control. Then, when we pleaded with the city council to do something about it, they said they couldn't because they couldn't legally remove someone's "property" from where they were staying. That was three years ago this past April. What changed since then? The other issue I have is when the homeless are cleared out from there, where do they go next? I will tell you. The next town, city or county over, so they can mess up another community. I think a great idea would be to take the money they are spending to clean things up and put it into housing and mental health clinics so that many of these people could get off the street and get some of the help they need. This way, they will prevent what they are cleaning up. I know there are some who just want to do drugs and live this way, but there are so many others who just need some help from somewhere. I know this because I used to be one of them. Someone stepped up and helped me off of the street, and I now have a completely different life.
Only comment here worth reading.
But if you hadn’t of wanted to a million could have! But you chose to get out with help.
Makes sense, glad you got an opportunity.
I am sorry, this is only in California. Real simple, go to a Florida beach and you will not see homeless in the bathrooms or walking with their garbage. Why? It is not allowed. Tourist come to the beach to see the ocean and witness the beauty, not see a disgusting, smelly, needle infected, garbage hauling, living in the toilet people running the beach. Here in Florida, the bathrooms are clean, the public can use the tables and park benches and enjoy their day at the beach. Government can’t solve these people’s problems.
You made a good choice.. to live! Not to just survive..👏👏🥰
I personally would never use one of those bathrooms. And I damn sure wouldn’t let my child use one. But I don’t go near Venice anymore for a very long time. 😢
They should do a weekly check on the bathrooms
@@tracyrhinehart8693 Right! Whats to stop them from going back that night?
For years we'd tail gate, skate, drink and hang out in the parking lot and use those bathrooms. So much different 20-30 years ago. Drugs then mental illness is what I've seen
Almost forgot my point. We'd watch peoples bikes and kids a lot when they used the facilities. My friends and I are in a lot of photo albums skateboarding
@@howardb.6205 back then Venice was absolutely great!
I was homeless out there in June(1985)!!! We were sleeping on the cliffside of the palisades park in Vietnamese styled terraced shelters. If you fell Pacific Coast Highway 1 was hard wakeup.
They have this awful sense of entitlement.
@@user-qo8xp3ok9xIs that what you call getting high around the clock ?? Survival ?? I personally know a woman who refuses housing because she has to be sober and follow the guidelines about not smoking cigarettes. We worked with her for almost two years to get a studio apartment and she was kicked out because she was too antisocial and stubborn to smoke outside in the smoke area. Just had to have her ciggie inside !! Don’t be so naive. Hundreds of bad choices were made to end up like this and refuse to use the services available. In my 20’s and early 30’s I helped 3 people who were homeless by taking them in my home. The women I helped actually got their shit together which I appreciated because it a pain in the ass to get ID for people with no birth certificate or social security card. The guy I helped almost got me kicked out of my apartment and also racked my phone bill up over $400. Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and go there and offer to take one of these folks into your house instead of virtue signaling in the comment section ?? 😉
@@Lunchladydoyle why should she have to smoke outside and follow your rules. Don't you believe in the Right To Liberty?
@@smokingjoe9864 I believe in the right to clean air.
Probably not paying her taxes and then complaining about no soap in the public sink. The lack of soap should be the least of her problems.
@@soulscanner66 have non smoking and smoking options. Just don't force one side.
The ones who contribute the least are always demanding the most. I think it would be cheaper to have security keep them out in the first place than to go around clearing and cleaning up after them.
Problem is, security would have no more power than the cops. "Please don't go in there" would be their whole arsenal.
That was so nice of the man that saved the Costco carts. So many are thrown in the trash.
I agree. Guess who pays for the new carts to replace the stolen? Groceries are high enough.
You know I just made it I just did a comment and it won't take it you know why cuz I tell the truth nothing but the truth you guys are all f****** disgusting the way you talk about the poor people looking yourself.... Well get ready what you weep is what you sold.. you talk about my friends that they you talk about like there a have a disease. You guys don't know nothing. What makes you beautiful.. your soul. You know you can be a beautiful woman and have an ugly soul. You know what I'm done you guys make me sick.. the most important part is God is disgusted with his children and he loves all of you but you guys all need to get on your knees and repent you know people look at the poor like they're disgusted you know the working for the poor he can comfort for you guys that are right that plane to be righteous.. God came for the broken ones cuz room Revelations right now.. Say hi
Oh yes let's put our costco food in those infested carts .
It's not a good idea to reuse those carts, they should be thrown out. No telling what those carts were used to transport. Even if they clean them, which we all know they won't, they will just put them right back with all the other carts at the store. It's completely unsanitary. Dirt, germs, disease, urine soaked clothing and blankets, who knows what else. Would you want to put your food in there?
did those rangers knows how useless work they doing? all that cleaning for nothing second they leave 10 more invaders those toilets again
What a great country.
It's that's why we are getting this filth off our streets this isn't some shit country it's America
Bidenomics
yeah, they were all millionaires under Trump@@joeweeks3794
The first guy isn't lying except he under calculated the costs. It costs $97,800 a DAY to pay for the sanitation crew and the police hired to protect the crew.
sad, if true. Got a source?
He personifies all the freeloading losers found in California.
Well they wouldn’t have to if the slobs would respect the properties and not trash it. What a bunch of crap heads!
@@Alboalt Hi Alboalt! Well, I have been trying for months now to get a detailed budget & cost analysis from Karen Bass' office, but city hall only sends me a pretty looking brochure with general information. No line-by-line details. Since the public may never be given factual info, I was doing my best by estimating using a number from a couple years ago which I'm taking a guess is higher these days being that our homelessness has increased by 9-10%.
He's also right about them doing it in the name of god even though god doesn't exist
I'm glad the sombrero guy spoke up about the cart because those things can cost an upwards of $250 per cart if you do a search for them online. For these bums to steal a cart per week for a month is $1000 property theft which is a felony and should be arrestable. The park rangers should get the ID or forward a picture to the police of anyone with a stolen cart and forward their picture to the store where it came from. After a certain number of thefts, they should be taken in for it.
try 750 +
Ya right! You can not even get a cop to react to a robbery, shoplifting, Break In, Homeless Squatting even on your own private land or home area as well as many other things we once looked on as normal run of the mill life things in California due to the Woke Law Makers and lack of funding for Cops caused by same!!! Now look and it is getting worse under Gavin Newsome The King of SF Crap... now look at SF!!!
Wow you have a thing for shopping carts, what's up with you?
@@user-uu8bs8tg1k Do you like when people steal from you? What's up with you?
YES!!!!!!!
This can be easily fixed, with a sprinkler. Every hour on the hour a sprinkler sprays the bathroom down for 2 minutes. Cleaning the restroom and drenching any homeless person that wasnt to squat in it.
The remote signal wheels that lock in a geofenced area are great at stopping cart theft.
Are they though? I think you underestimate the destructive ingenuity of homeless Americans.
Confiscate them carts, return them to owners. AND, arrest those in possession/use of them carts !;💀 🇺🇸
Like watching the tv shows from the 70s like Chips, it shows Venice Beach when it was clean. No trash, homeless bums or graffiti. Ok everyone out it’s time to clean your cages. If the City would make it uncomfortable for these bums to live here they would move on.

Just back from some time in LA and San Fran - would never return again after seeing what it is now and friends who live in SF are looking at moving as it is really bad in some areas!
I think it's nice that California provides their homeless with beachfront condos 👍
Those aren't restrooms. They're practically little studio apartments. The city needs to reconstruct that whole restroom building. Also, the city does provide housing/rooms to the homeless if they follow THE RULES. Im sure that one of the rules is to not cause a big a** mess because that can create a hazardous environment. Homeless people are just outdoor hoarders.
They have all their stuff outside because they have no place to put it.
Many are in the grip of drugs and/or mental issues. the rules can be hard to follow. Like asking a person with no legs to run. Sad situation wth no easy fix at all. And sad so many people pointing fingers and judging, without knowing the stories of these people. Millions of americans are just a couple of missed rental payemnts away from living in the streets, in a situation they never imagined they could end up in.
they might as make tiny houses on the beaches the homeless aint goin anywhere
They wouldn't have to go through this if someone with Brains declared we need Mental Health Hospitals!!!
Cali politicians arent going to lock up the handout needing voters who are needed to guarantee their position. They'de sooner pay for busses to make sure these people all vote.
@jakewilson7112 you think these people vote?
i worked in a mental institute back in the 80's by 1989 they was all closed down, now home land security use the place i worked at for training .. muskatutuck indiana
But Ronnie Reagan declared that we did NOT need Mental Health Hospitals and closed them....BOTH republicans and democrats set us up for this!
Send 600 billion to Ukraine. That will fix it
As soon as everybody leaves they come right back they need a better solution
Enpho 💥
if i haven't said it recently, THANK YOU, for continuing to DOCUMENT ALL OF THIS
Why don't they just have security to keep them out? Wouldn't that be cheaper than all this?
I suppose this system provides employment for all those well-nourished county employees.
Why don't you keep them out ? Looks like u voted for biden. Always have someone else solve the problem.
@@rickey5353Enlightenment?
@@user-uu8bs8tg1kthat’s trump voters, actually - did he give you that Cadillac he promised you?
@@TheCrusher72 What caddiliac?
Need new restrooms for sure . Tear down the old ones .Close them at around 9 pm . Hire security to watch from 9 am till 9 pm
Newson has requested "Federal Assistance" to rebuild the bathrooms. In other words, Newsom neglected public safety and let the bathrooms get destroyed and now wants our Federal taxes to rebuild which he will let be destroyed again. It's insanity.
Agree. LA freaked out overreacting to covid by even closing the beaches yet they perform a general cleaning in this situation & it's ready for public use. This world is upside... a 21st century wild wild West.
I’ll pass on the security guard, use to be one and work on one. Ain’t going to jeopardize my life with crazy people and no benefits with a decent pay no thanks. Luckily found a better job! 😊
Ain't free.
The city is to cheap. The money goes to illegals and people milking the system
Looks great for the camera. I'm kinda of surprized local politicians didn't join the parade for some glamor shots.
i had no idea it had gotten this bad. i used to go to the beach in the mid 2000s as a kid and now id be afraid to go into those bathrooms.
1985 was nice.
What adores me,that there is help for these people but they are just so stupid that they won't ask for it. It really pisses me off. We have the same problems over here in England.
The help is forced sobriety. We didn't legalize drugs to send people to treatment.
They don't want the help because that means they have to be responsible for paying their own way in life.
It's a double eged sword the more you do for people the less they do for themselves
@@CynthiaW-jr7bc they don't want help because they can use theirfull pension not on accomodation but on drugs or just hoard their money...............
They are mental and drug addicts
That guy with the gray beard has been evicted from the rest rooms before
Every week. He knows he can stay and the police will do nothing.
He’s the landlord haha
Thanks for your videos, especially when I'm on them. Thanks for the channel plug!
We have this beautiful country and we have a problem here with a growing homeless population. Why in the hell don’t we do something about this people need housing. If we don’t like the eyesore and the trash, let’s find a solution why is this country ignoring it, and just pushing them, on down the road out of sight? This country needs to act.
Homeless are as much illegals as americans and the drugs come from the border....quit blaming this all on the homeless......The Illegals are the bigger problem
A new meaning to beachfront housing!
If I were to be unhoused the first thing I would steal is a collapsible ladder so I could climb up and sleep on top of the rest rooms.
U sound like snoopy, I like it
Grocery carts start at 250 dollars and top out around 750/each
$1000 chopped and slammed 😂
Good for the guy who asked to save the carts. I think they cost about $300.
So is homeless now a derogatory name, enough with unhoused BS.. Really getting pathetic that we're turning into such a weak society..
Homeless means personal responsibility. Unhoused means it's all our responsibility. Hence, the name change. Read this somewhere and it began to make sense why government, newspapers began using " unhoused".
@@morningsideparkinglewoodca8415 homeless is certainly a personal responsibility. It's not my responsibility if someone chooses to be a drug addict and not work. That's the problem nowdays people don't seem to want to be responsible for their own life choices.
@@morningsideparkinglewoodca8415 "Unhoused" is less offensive then homeless. calif does not want to offend them.
I call them what they are Roaches 🪳
Exactly. I'm sick of all these politically correct terms for everyone and everything.
Lock the bathrooms after 8pm. Why let this shit continue.
That guy at 19:34 has his stuff all neat and organized and ready to roll out in an instant minute.!! Smart guy.!
This is so sad. Imagine how beautiful that place would be.
there's other things that is sad about this situation
For no particular reason, it continues to b impossible for the toilets to be locked at night..
I agree, but if they’re locked where are these people using the bathroom at night? 😬
Omg!! They doing their job.
Freaking awesome?
Venice boardwalk is the crown jewel of LA
Nice work!
i totally agree with that guy, STOP THROwING AWAY THE CARTS! its costing customers more money at the stores, because the stores have to makeup the loss spend for the carts
Those cleanup people are so stupid and inefficient. The either throw the whole cart in the truck or one of them stands there and picks trash out one piece at a time, while three other guys watch. There needs to be one guy with a shovel, one guy with a broom, and two guys to dump the carts out and stack them to the side. WTAF!? Monkeys could organize this operation better than this.
It's not a good idea to reuse those carts, they should be thrown out. No telling what those carts were used to transport.

Costco had a profit of just under 227 BILLION dollars in '22. And you think they incur a "Loss"? Lmao!!!
@@genefogarty5395 THEY DON'T incur the loss! We the people who PAY for our merchandise do!
It's not atttractive to the shop to reuse charts that have been used by homeless and so on, and the number of charts lost is a fraction of the total. That said, they should saved useable charts for the homeless to use again, instead of go taking new ones.
Living the dream.

Each person should be in prison for stealing a shopping 🛒 every month! 😂
I hope there's more restrooms that aren't occupied for the public to use
I wouldn’t use that bathroom if my life depended on it .nasty nasty nasty
Crabs can pole vault
I used to love to travel down to Southern California, back in the sixties seventies and eighties. Haven't been there since the early nineties. And I'll probably never go
These people keep thinking the restrooms are vacant rooms with toilet free for the taking!
pressure washed with a bleach solution, and they would be fine.
Most got serious drug and/or mental issues. They are in survival mode and there is no so much 'thinking' other trying to survive one day at the time. No easy fix
Some of these folks do need help.
They are UNFIX ABLE. None of them can be repaired.
All of them need help ones who mental disorders need to be in a medical hospital and the ones who are still drugs need to be in someone kind of hospital.
Santa’s workshop couldn’t even repair them 😂🤣
You THINK?
They all need help and need to be committed.
It took 15 minutes for 4 grown men to empty 1/2 basket of junk into a garbage truck, and one of the men wanted to throw the buggy away. California is embarrassing itself.
Put on some hi viz and go show them how it’s done, mastermind
shopping carts cost between $150 - $250 , so the theft cost gets figured into the grocery prices for everyone.
As a European I am stunned by the enormity and seriousness of the homeless problem in the USA and why so little is done to help these people and address the underlying issues to deal with this crisis. Then I read the comments here, seemingly largely made by Americans and understand how it got so bad there
And these people go where now? What a broken country. These people need help, not more hurt.
You can only help people who want to be helped. Problem is, so much "help" just enables them to continue that destructive lifestyle on the street.
After watching so many clips here i have only one question left : Do you have any kind of normal people left in Venice or just homeless, disturbed and drug users ?
Every city had an adult entertainment district. Make California Great Again. Turn Venice Beach into that district. Allow open camping and drug use on that beach.
Hell, this very channel has videos showing another side to the place.
@@smokingjoe9864typical liberal , hobo
they need to arrest and let them do some jail time then they might stop doing this nasty shit.. im so damn glad florida is not like this..
But, many of them just abuse the tax payer. Like the guy at the beginning talking about tax dollars going toward the police. Dude! Do you have a friggin mirror?
Yeah, the homeless dont pay much in taxes.
No dude bro brah b fool here it's sir
California has a lot of open desert land they need to build village encampments, pick up all the homeless, take them there by force, and do not let them leave until they can prove that they will be productive in society. And if you want a clean city and state, don't complain that your tax money is being used to finance this
ITS ABOUT TIME !! we need are cities back and SAFE
You dont need every beach. The homeless can have one.
They have this awful sense of entitlement.. They should do this every night!.
I was at that beach for one hour June '22 and it was by far the nastiest place I've ever visited. Couldn't get out quick enough

Throwing the carts away is a smart idea, it puts more minerals in the landfills. the home depots carts only cost $500 each.
Venice cleans it up and then let's them go back and live like that again. That's our tax money! Time to vote everyone out of office.
Let them turn Venice Beach into a 'Hooverville'. 1930s all over again.
They should do something to the floors to make them uncomfortable to sleep on and put screened/ bar tops to the doors
Yes how about spikes on the floors and toilet seats, then shut the water off
How about free carbon monoxide with every night's stay? Lol. Wait until it reaches capacity and hook up a garbage truck at idle. Problem solved. @@user-uu8bs8tg1k
maybe fit the doors with timers so after 10 minutes the doors open so no one can stay more then 10 minutes at a time in there
🦁🐯🐻 Oh My! what a mess you have on your hands LA. Treat all with respect. 😊
I'd bet a weeks pay that all those folks were back in there before the crews got back to their offices
Sheesh, think of how unsanitary those public restrooms are. So for people to be setting up their homes in them, with blankets on the floor, is the essence of peeuu, grody. But all the RVs lined up in parts of LA & used as homeless shelters are equally a health/environmental issue. A news report yesterday on RVs along a street in Gardena (with sewage going straight into the street) shows how society is collapsing. It's becoming a weird mix of the Third World & Emerging World.
Big public works projects in LA/CA in past yrs were things like building highways, public transit, parks & water reclamation plants. Now it needs to be continuous region-wide sweeps & clean-ups of homeless encampments. Letting vagrancy (& crime) get out of hand is destroying the city of San Francisco, etc.
Time to bring back the big mental hospitals. We need Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!
Yeah, she didn’t take no crap! 😂😂
Just think on how much money we could save, and things be lots cleaner, and sanitary, if these people were not around any more....

America is a land of freedom.
These cops are way too lenient on these homeless people in the bathrooms ! They should at least tell them if they catch them doing it again they're going to jail ! There's laws in the book for that like loitering ! if you don't tell them not to do it again they'll just keep doing it over and over ✌️
they are lenient as they know these people have issues not easily fixable at all, drugs, mental, and talking to them is more or less like talking to a rock. Not worht the time. The public workers just do their job and move on, as they should do. What the homeless does or not, it's not these workers' task to involve, other that have them step aside for a bit.
They should do this every night!
Feel free to donate
Sickening, has to be done.
Why don't they let the businesses come and get their carts back
It's like having house keeping they will be back as soon as they leave.
