Lmfao
😂😂😂😂LOL and free house keeping 😂😂😂😂
Hotel California. "You can check out anytime you want. But you can never leave."
Seriously? 🐿️👋
It’s like this in UK too .I saw this at Blackpool
It's apparent that this situation has gone far beyond fixable
Yep. The homeless people in *YOUR STATE* have no options and are forced to go to California to live in a fucking port-a-potty.
No chance your state could fix *THEIR* homeless problem with programs and housing instead of turning their back on humans and leaving them to try to find anywhere warm to go
Destruction
It is very hard to fix homeless problem in usa ..it is easy to fix homeless problem in southeast asia...
Imagine how strong the addiction is that you’d rather live surrounded by feces and urine than accept shelter with the condition that you don’t use drugs.
But there's other reasons why a lot of homeless avoid the shelters. Very few allow pets which a lot of the homeless have, shelters usually don't accept felons and people with violent crime convictions, shelters have curfews which doesn't work with the hours they work, they are also very structured so you have to get up and leave for the day by a certain time every day too, some shelters are women only which is sexist and are shelters I will never support, shelters are known to be dangerous and high risk places of getting your stuff stolen, a lot of shelters force their religion onto the people they house. But despite a lot of the homeless avoiding the shelters, they are still all full every night in L.A. and other big cities. Unhoused homeless should be forced to be institutionalized and they shouldn't have to deal with these things that they deal with at shelters.
You’ve literally obviously have never seen an actual shelter. Prison is safer and cleaner than a shelter
The maggots and flies will not even go inside. But gloves and the chemicals suits are mandatory while cleaning these rooms. It's dark in there and some people inside will actually just pee on the floor because it's to dark to see the toilet or it can flood over causing spillage.
FEMA (prison ran) camps and mandatory programs to integrate them back to a functional member of society or rot in camp without drugs until death.
They can use drugs they simply can't bring them into the shelter.
It's crazy to watch how fast that area went down hill. You have got to start holding your elected officials accountable!
They don't care!!!! They love homeless people living in tents, under freeways/bridges and parks. They never talk about the homeless families - lots of children living on the streets. As long as they have high-paying jobs. California is HELL.
How about you learn to write and type a full complete sentence before making demands.
@@YutaBLv Bet you get my POINT tho? Suck it easy crybaby!
@@whoogoesthere No I didn't. That's why you should learn grammar, because you don't make any sense. Googoo gaga?

No idea why I keep watching these. It's like Storage Wars, you never know what they'll find in there!
Same, California may be able to afford all of these homeless people off a reality TV show. Taking a trip to there now is like going to a third world country 😂
Interesting
Old school talk shows where you would hear the doorbell and they be like "who's behind door #1"
Lmao!!!!
@@indexoptions😅
Most of these folks didn't just move in considering all the stuff they have. Perhaps these public toilet areas should be policed a couple times a day?
How about just close them all? Im sure most decent people could find a bathroom in a cafe or at home.
No need to be a superserver to people living in a dirty bathroom. Just close those bathrooms down
@Some Tea Exactly. Much better to have human waste strewn about the beach. People gotta booboo, you can't stop that, and it's important they have somewhere to go.
@@elleg3651 too late, that ship sailed some time ago!
You’d be amazed at how quickly a pack of meth heads can dumpster dive & transport shit back to the beach.
Those more inland, are there to make it a much shorter trip.
@Big Dog; The charges are not fake; you are witnessing it right now.
How about you open your own bathroom up to house those drug addicts?
Can you imagine renting a apartment to them🤯🤯🤯 they would destroy it a week.
Most of them do. I lived in Seattle WA for about ten years, the building I lived in received money from the State to house the homeless on one floor -- needless to say, it was a complete disaster. They usually got kicked out within the year, terrorized other residents (burglary, bikes stolen etc...) the drug activity was non-stop, many people overdosed and died on that floor, and the bed bugs, roaches, etc..... The first of the month was the worst, they would get their state checks and it was balls to the wall drug fest. I never understood it, they were living for free or nearly free, utilities paid, food stamps, monthly cash -- yet, they never felt grateful for what they had -- always a victim.
Before anyone gets butt hurt, I'm not judging here I'm just telling my experience.
@@LadyO_333 you nailed it.
@@LadyO_333 if u dont earn what you get then you cant appreciate it
At least the homeless aren't working like slaves 5 days a week and miserable. And at least they don't support an evil government and system and make the world look like shit because of all these houses everyone thinks they need.
No offense to anyone but our society is truly retarded. Sending children to school against their will is slavery and means you're taking your kids freedoms away. Native People never did this to their kids and most of human history we didn't force children to go to school but society became idiotic. If we didn't send our children to school all these dumb school shootings wouldn't exist and kids wouldn't get kidnapped as much since school playgrounds are the more common place for abduction. Yet who's to blame. We are. Idiotic beliefs we hold to uphold society.
Nice clean family beach environment.
I agree that's awful and they don't get in a hurry. I don't see why a family would go there at all . I understand people are homeless but there should be city camps we're they have to go and not be all over the place .
That's Santa Monica, not Venice. I think it's because they are in different counties.
I bet there are a lot of needles in that beach
Homeless people should be relegated too designated areas. They should not be able to take over parks and beaches meant for the public. Our ill-guided compassion has led to tyranny of the homeless.
Oh, but "designated areas" would not only violate their civil rights, but would make it inconvenient to buy drugs and panhandle.
Yes Gavin wants them to have beach houses it's only fair.
@@lwscijunkie rights are for tax paying citizens
@@wil7228 Gavin lol 😂
@Big Dog in what universe?
Your woman on the mattress just sitting their smiling and having a great time . High on everything but not a gram of shame.
Not sure how but the homeless have managed to destroy indestructible bathrooms. Public sentiment appears to be turning against the homeless especially when they do this stuff without regard for regular folks.
Yeah...Seattle tried it..Bought some mobile public indestructible "self cleaning" wheelchair accessible bathrooms for $ MILLIONS to help everyone from homeless to tourists. The druggies immediately took control of them for prostitution and drugs sale/use. Seattle gave up and sold them at a loss to other cities.

They need to lock the doors overnight.
They should lock the doors during the night who knows why the city doesn’t do so.
no, they should build little simple shelters for homeless that don't have curfews and regulations. Imagine how incredibly desperate someone is to actually be able to sleep in a disgusting public toilet??? I can't even comprehend that. I've slept outside, I've slept in a car when I had one. Where do you suggest these people go?
All state parks and other facilities are closed at sundown.
In Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Except rest areas on highway.
@Brian Leostar 88 how about the employment office?
California’s Airbnb… Gotta love it
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I know it's not constitutional, but there is no other answer. You have to force these people to get help. And I'm sick of the people acting like these were homeowners, apartment renters who lost a job and ended up sleeping in a public restroom.This is drug addiction & mental health💯 No one in their right mind and I stress" right mind "would live like this.
The ones who wouldn't live like this are the same ones that will put a weapon of some kind up your, you know exactly where.
582,000 homeless people in America last year. Please explain how you would force them to into rehabs and mental health facilities? I won't ask you how you would plan to fund your brilliant plan 😂
@@jimdimond8945 I was hoping someone would ask that very question Federal Reserve, who else is allowed to sign the check?
@@jimdimond8945 : Los Angeles, has already standing, SEVEN hospital, and former prison facilities and a juvenile facility in the county. They are LARGE facilities with a lot of area to them already.
The BILLIONS that was accrued through bond initiatives, wasn't used to purpose these facilities to force the addicts and mentally ill into them. And rather than the governor point a finger at other states, other states should also be doing the same thing for THEIR residents.
We have to put a moratorium on allowing the kind of immigration and non deportation of criminal immigrants without enforcement of our laws.
There are LIMITS to how much low income housing is here. And no accounting for who needs the resources that would better serve those who have a history of mental illness and addiction where they are from.
Each state should be taking care of their own, and spread the responsibility.
Instead of just CA being the repository for every dysfunctional person there is.
🙄 not necessarily true some people lose their place do to being disabled and not getting any help, their significant other dies, they get behind in rent and are just careless. It’s not always drugs
I was so amazed to see that she actually had legs that work.
Same here.
It was so pathetic the guy pulling her and mattress out. And then just stayed on it. Like she was waiting to go back to sleep.
Venice deserves this. Sad, on all sides, but the residents vote for this.
This is an economic and mental health issue. Not some vague crap people like you believe.
The residents didn't vote for this - it's the leaders who cause all the problems.
Yep
Unbelievable, why do they have to be so Messy...Yes you can be down and out...But have Pride in yourself.
This looks like free room service! Checkout time is at 11:oo am.
The homeless problem is solved!
Build multistory bathroom stalls.
With free Wi-Fi!!!
Ya its called a prison
@@robertfeatherstone8030 Good one! 😆
Look at how dented up those stainless steel doors are. How disrespectful people are who don't pay taxes.
You don’t know who dented them.
Rich people don't dent doors they pay someone
It’s a shame yet homeless people do not care what they destroy most of them are on drugs or have mental issues.
@Big Dog Who is a liar? you can't just excuse someone of Lying.
@Big Dog I am a very Educated person so you don't need to tell me to educate my self and its not the tv educating me LOL.
The homeless thinks the world owes them something. Now we have to pay for their trauma? Damned-if-you-do damned-if-you-don't.
Damn that is a good point
U got to be desperate to sleep on a cold hard toilet floor. Have u, ever? Money green, says it all
@@MsAlien911 They don't sleep they are high on meth, and if they're sleeping on the bathroom floor maybe it's their karma? If their own family doesn't want to help them that's saying a lot
Well darn lucky it's not you.
@@bernadettewohl8062 I'm not lucky, I thank God everyday.
First question... Why is it that when rents go up exorbitantly there is an increase in homelessness? Geniuses
That is absolutely disgusting. Have they no shame? No dignity?
None at all. They lost their dignity and their ability to feel shame at some point due to so many factors...abuse/neglect as a kid, mental illness, inheriting the genes that predispose one to addiction/alcoholism, PTSD from serving in our armed forces...All of the above, no doubt, for some of them.
"Those people" USED to float around the edges of society, be kept in institutions and/or just die in a ditch somewhere. Some could pay very low rent rather than stay on the street...But there aren't any places low-cost enough to rent, especially if most/all of the cash they get goes for drugs/alcohol.
This is why you see the most people living on the street where the local economy is thriving. Landlords demand more for rent and developers knock down low-income housing to build high-income housing.
It amazes me how much stuff they putting in these bathrooms. It’s like a studio apartment! Bikes, chairs, mattresses Oh my!
Used to be a old saying don't sleep where you shit.
How dare they call these public rest rooms. Its called disgusting rest rooms. I would never allow my kids to use those nasty toilets.
Living that beach life takes a new meaning.
They actually let them camp on Redondo beach
It’s so dumb. I paid 500$ to share a room at the beach. I just worked at a coffee shop. They are truly BUMS
Calling HOMELESS people 'unhoused' is like calling a rat 'unclothed'...they choose to be homeless. the end.
They should have gloves on touching those grotty door handles
It would be cheaper to pay a person to sit in a little office to give a key out to use the toilets when needed, might deter them from squatting like this , it's getting silly
Seriously. & great idea btw. It’s simple logic like this that the whole state of California needs a dose of. Reality 🌈⛈️
Santa Monica does something like that at Tongva Park. They interface with the homeless and lookout for crime.
They do it in Mexico. Public restrooms have an attendant and you pay to use it.
How about the person safety that's handling the bathrooms how's that going to work
@@paulsupronojr.4976 Not exactly, what you pay for is a clean, safe place to shit because the attendants keep the bums out.
These individuals occupying the bathroom stalls are incredibly inconsiderate. What about pregnant ladies, little children, older guys with prostate issues? Infuriating.
These people occupy the stalls for their own safety and to prevent their possessions from being stolen. I can't blame them as I would probably do the same thing if I were homeless.
@@sdrfz No sympathy from me. It's their choices that got them in that situation and their choices to take over public restrooms. The very old, very young and others with medical issues aren't given a choice.
Maybe some lockers to protect stuff from being stolen instead of the bathrooms there for all. Just close the bathrooms down.
@@sometea4741 What about pregnant ladies, small children and elderly gentlemen who depend on such facilities? I do like the ideas of lockers though.
One of the reasons these guys are in this situation is because they're selfish SOB's.
They have no support structure to fall back on.
That is the reason why cities are reluctant to put public restrooms in a city. If you are out and about running errands on the street where do you go restroom. I usually find a large gas station or a McDonald’s. Either that or wait until I get home. I notice at night a lot of gas stations put “out of order” signs on their restrooms. This is the reason.
Respect to the Police who deal with this daily and very much respect to the sanitation workers. This is horrible to have to do day after day knowing your taxes pay for the homeless clean up instead of politicians who would do right by a city. CA is in a terrible state of affairs with their ossified leadership that lives in neighborhoods far removed from people's reality.
Free room, free wifi and free cleaning services!! They are all at the beach waiting for them to leave to move back in
Absurd to see how they allow to destroy a tourist place... It is not safe for a minor or a family to walk around.
Nope, they leave dirty needles everywhere. People are forced to stay away now. It's disgusting
Sir, homelessness does not necessarily mean criminal. We should think about the impact of our words... Not easy but doable:)
Why does a "tourist" have more rights than the locals in your little brain?
@Jman because the city put a lot of money so people would spend more when they visit. Instead you have crackhead pissing and shitting everywhere. It's not about rights, even a tourist can sleep in a public bathroom.
@@Gods_Harbinger_2_The_12_Tribes where was the lie?
So much for being able to use those washrooms if you needed to.
These toilets are the size of a small room.They should have made them like in the Netherlands Toilets real close to the door. So close it you sit your knees almost touch the door and with just enough room to pull your pants up and down and narrow, no room to turn around. I'm seeing mattresses, bicycles, suitcases coming out these.
Some bigger on the ends for disabled or mothers with kids. Old gray helmet head has the big one all the time.
How sad and disgusting I use to use those restrooms and was totally oblivious to the fact that this was going on
Oblivious to the homeless people in America?
What great leadership
I guess sleeping in a public toilet is easier for some people than getting a job and having self respect.
Yeah this was how they wanted their life to be. I mean I have a roof over my head and a good job, but that could quickly end. A little empathy and understanding go a long way my dude.
@@TaeKwonMoe if you would allow this to happen to yourself... so be it... I've been homeless and would abort myself before I would stoop to sleeping in a public toilet.... but good luck with that my condescending liberal dude.... perhaps you should try saving someone else's planet.
I do not care how hard up it may get, I would never sleep on a public restroom floor. Need to start charging these people to taking over our public facilities like this. I know some people wont like that but it fixes this type of BS in the long run. That last few years of zero accountability has caused all of this here.
Well, this is now living in America
@@bernadettewohl8062 It does not have to be.
No doubt some will stand around for as long as possible, hoping that they will simply give up ...
This shit is sad. It the same thing at the playground next to my house. They keep it locked 24/7 now because of scumbags sleeping and getting high in there. Wtf has the world come to that we can't even have public bathrooms anymore 😔
Not a world, USA...go to Europe
Wow! Free Cleaning. Luxury !
I've been saying the same thing! They should lock the toilets every night at midnight and that's the only way! And it's just from bad to worse. This will never end at all. And I said that it will never end or stop!!😟😧😩💔😥😢💔
The only way this is gonna end is to demolish them!
It's being done on purpose -- homelessness is multiplying by the minute.
Wow , a huge beach to sleep on and they pick a dirty urinal space 😮
The bearded old shopping cart man is the Innkeeper. He advises when there are available units and keeps a 24 hour vanguard on the community
Tremendous feats human beings are capable of once they abandon dignity.
So the second they finish cleaning....the homeless moves right back into the restroom and locks the door.....lol.
This was a problem a few years ago when I used to body board at Venice. You couldn't use the restrooms at all because the homeless people would have their stuff stacked in them
I would of taken a big healthy DUMP 💩 right on thier STUFF
@@Cassie00111 I never tried to use the restrooms either. The ocean is basically a big restroom as far as I'm concerned.
@@involuntarilycelebrate Just gotta avoid those floaters tho'
With all the belongings these people gather shows they are competent enough to get their life together regardless of using drugs or have mental issues. I believe the government needs to address the issue to get homeless off the streets. With all the money government gives people to live on the street use the money in proactive programs and get them off the streets. Sanitary conditions are bad for the public who are not homeless how our government even allows this is crazy. It's nasty. It's time to get tougher on homeless use some tough love. This is gone beyond having compassion enough is enough already.
How can this be?? They voted Democrat so this can't happen!! Keep voting blue! Dems care! Dems make it all better! Dems are for... ...change.

I cannot imagine raising a kid in that. Great that the city does clean up sweeps, but that is not a solution. It is simple a very poor band aid. Make the restrooms pay to use with a timer that unlocks after 30 minutes or so. These sweeps should use fire hoses to remove these people. There are ways to deter from this behavior, California just chooses not to. They do not take care of tax paying citizens and only cater to the bums.
"These sweeps should use fire hoses to remove these people"

Sending Children to School Against their will is slavery and means you're taking your child's freedoms away. Bet you didn't realize that. This is why non homeless are actually dragging society down not the homeless since non homeless choose to support evil corrupt government and society. And the world looks like shit thanks to the non homeless with all these houses covering the Earth that everyone thinks they need.

This is why I stay in Rhode island. I've had the money and time and wanted to vacation to the west coast so many times but won't even cobsider it due to the high volume of drug activity and homelessness out there.

You ever notice how a homeless person is never sick? I’ve never seen them sick like the flu or cough or infection . They live in the worst conditions and they’re fine. Maybe their immune system get toughened and weathered
In Arizona they come get the dead bodies a video i watched

This is absolutely heartbreaking,
Estas personas que invaden las áreas publicas, no las dejen que se retiren, antes deben ser obligarlas a limpiar así como recibir un aviso de que serán arrestadas si son sorprendidas nuevamente. En pocas palabras ellos no respetan la ley y mientras no respeten la Ley deben ser arrestados
Why don’t these tenants have Ring Doorbell Cameras for safety reasons 😂😂😂
I guess it's better to be homeless in a rich city than a poor one. Seattle has the same problem. I used to think it was because it was too expensive to live here (which is true), but now I'm convinced there are migratory patterns towards places where they can get maximum government benefits and where the left leaning rich people feel guilty. I'm just being objective, not derogatory. I've been homeless myself for 6 months. It could be anyone. I know that already.
Make sure u walk on eggshells now when u type this. Don’t want to offend anyone lol Grow a set and say it how it is.
Anyone have a good solution to stop homeless from living in the locked restrooms???
The best solution would be to force the homeless into rehabilitation, provide support services for everyone experiencing homelessness, provide good paying jobs for those that can't find work, fix why they are homeless and provide housing to all of them. I mean what else will work? Obviously the homeless need housing but housing them won't work without support services. If you throw a drug addict or mentally ill person into housing without any additional help, they will just end up homeless. again. They will trash their homes, won't be able to hold a job, won't know how to manage money, will be bad neighbors and will violate lease rules. All these things is what will cause them to become homeless again.
In ten years they ll be in every one’s backyard
Bye ! We'll see you guys at the next Beach Restrooms !
Could you imagine how horrible it would be if someone poured fuel under the door and then lit a match. I bet if some psycho did that a few times, they would be too scared to lock themselves in those bathrooms.
What a nasty way of thinking.
actually after seeing that weak ass skateboarder this is something I really wish to happen
I have been there when this was going on, they just move right back in when the police leave, no cap.
Most of those living like this has lost all dignity, hopefully they still have some self-respect remaining to try and do better.
Spring load the doors open. To close and lock, deposit a dime. The door will stay closed and locked for a predetermined time, then it will unlock and spring open.
I personally understand what it feels like to be in the same position, I'm so sorry.
Do they just move back in after the cleanup?
Here's a thought,have cops or park rangers make the homeless clean these rest rooms out.
There have been countless schemes to give homeless people jobs like this. Unions don't like it for one thing....Very rare for it to work out. The homeless are often too mentally ill and/or substance-addled to be competent, let alone reliable. Not saying that jobs programs for this demographic never work, just that it's rare.
Can’t per the 13th amendment
That one guy complaining about not being able to take a shit in private, well stop sleeping in public restroom! So gross! 🤢
i hope he cleans his ass with griptape , considering he has a nearly 200 cash skateboard 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Do they have to do this every morning?
I remember years ago the “influencers” who filmed a deceased gentleman in the bathrooms. It was sad it was posted online and it pointed out how ugly it was back then. It’s been bad in Venice for a while. Sad.
One guy built a bunk bed above the toilet. He spent money and put in work. He should be allowed to continue to improve the property

The restrooms are not being used by anyone but unhoused and addicts. Who wants to get close to those bathrooms anyhow? with drunks puking in there? Want a problem solved? Shut those bathrooms down. Lock the doors throw away the keys.
Everyone else uses a cafe or home..no need to maintain those bathrooms anymore.
Maybe keep two out of the whole stretch.
that's what I'm saying, rip this bastard of a bathroom down it's unusable at this point
Sorry, but videos like these are taking most cities in the US off my bucket list. Thank God for your beautiful National Parks 🏞️
