This woman walks up to a man recording in a public place then demands to be asked to be recorded. You cant make this shit up dude. We live in a clownworld
Yeah, that lady is the same lady that will call the cops on a black dude in Central Park for simply asking her to put her dog on a leash, which is the law there. She's that asshole. The one that talks like they care, but will instantly bury you under the prison the second no one's looking and she can claim you did something to her.
Stops to bitch at them then claims they are slowing her down to from getting her dogs back home and out of the heat when she chose to take them on a walk in the middle of the day
1. You mean imported 2. You think there aren't Karen's like that who are native to Austin, you're sorely mistaken. Not every asshole in the city is automatically "from CA and ruining everything about Austin"
Yeah that's exactly what I took from this video too. The only person interviewed in the entire video that appears to be a positive contributing member to society is the one that's unhinged.
Just turn your head away and hurry past the dude witht he camera if you dont want to be filmed. Instead, she stops and confronts him, making for more filming of her
What a lot of people don't realize is many of the homeless in Austin are native born who have been pushed out by people moving here and jacking up the prices.
Another thing expats don’t realize is Austin is a dark sky city and for good reason too! It’s in a path of a major bird migration and Austin also sits in an area popular for night sky celestial viewing. Then expats demand more lights not knowing this but they don’t realize them moving here is what is driving the crime and wider gap of classes. Austin was not meant to have this many people coming here.
Coming from a guy that used to be homeless. I moved here 8 years ago, stayed at Salvation army, and worked and saved up enough to get & keep an apartment... Austin is awesome. With all of its super filthy rich and dirt poor. With all of its problems and solutions This city is far better than New Orleans and Baton Rouge where its exactly like living in a nightmare. I love Austin the only gripe I have is thats its ridiculously expensive but i have been reborn here.
Yeah well boston is far better than austin in most aspects, u could just keep the comparisons coming, that doesn't take away the fact that there are still issues, even if they are "less bad than elsewhere" doesn't mean we shouldn't care.
I was born and raised here in Austin and that lady with the dogs is a typical new Austin yuppie. Blamed the guy for stopping the dogs when it was actually her who stopped to say a bunch of nothing because someone had to hear what was on her mind.
Hi from SD, CA👋🏻 "best thing that ever happened to me was getting arrested" TRUTH! I got arrested because of being on meth and in a psychosis. After 3 months of high power lockdown I got sentenced to probation. I was released to the streets.after relapsing probation gave me an opportunity for housing. This was the turning point of helping me to stop giving up. Because of my PO believed in me it built my confidence to stay on point and keep my government funded studio! Thank you for your work to show more than just a problem but rather bringing a humanity to those that struggle. Thank you for the government stepping in.❤
Family moved to Htown in '74. In the 80s & 90s we took the 2.5hr drive to Austin to party. I saw SRV play a 10-min guitar solo high af, skated 6th street at 14yo, and was a "roadie" for my brother's band getting into venues to party at 16yo. "We're all here, because we're not all there" describes Austin PERFECTLY. Sad that the "Austin Edge" went from the kooky and cool college town to crazy.
My parents moved here over a decade ago and the first couple times I visited 6th st it was still a cool place to go. We saw trent turner and the moon towers our first night here. It was rad! Now 6th st is nothing but a shithole with addict speedbumps everywhere within a 5 block radius.
I manage a business on 6th Street. Every day I feel like the protagonist in a zombie movie. I’ve seen it get worse and worse over these past 18 months. I’ve seen the CRAZIEST sh*t.
Seems the Further East you get on 6th, the worse it gets. The Further West you get on 6th, the safer and nicer it gets, seemingly. West Austin feels very safe, and is the nicest part of the city I have been in. I have only been here for about a month though.
I'm from Austin and was homeless for 5 yrs straight. I got off the streets only because someone allowed me to live with them if i quit doing drugs and stayed on my psyciatric medications. Not everyone has it this way. There are a lot that don't care and are still on the streets but mostly because they want to be. Being homeless isn't always a choice, but sometimes it is.
I'm born and bred Austinite, lived in or around Austin 42 years. Austin is mired by big city problems. Not the place I grew up in. Too expensive, too much big tech, California refugees, and the general vibe of a larger city like people are rude. Like the dog walking lady, that is prototypical Austin, too much money not enough sense. 😂 Great video though! 👍
I can vouch also. Austin born and bred as well, 40 years. Thankfully, the population actually declined a bit for us last year. It's a relentless cycle of California coming into a city and ruining it. They move in, drive up prices until the city turns to shit and all the locals are pushed out. Then off to the next city wherever the tech bros tell them to go. The new California hot spot is Nashville.
@@M4sterT3ch Exactly the tech people come in with their insane salaries and hyperinflate the market. I grew up in central Austin and by the time I was 20 the local burger joint was now a vegan restaurant owned by a woman in Dallas from Cali. It was the beginning of the end. I've heard that too that Nashville is the next tech hub. I hope most of the companies from Austin move there too. 😂
I’ve seen Californians complete decimate what used to be a special city over the years. Entitled phony people. Too many people from New York, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts too. Rip Austin.
Thanks for another fantastic documentary....By far your reporting on this crisis is the most revealing on this epidimic going on all across America...God bless the reporting your doing!!
Man, I lived in Austin from 1967 to 1968, during the summer of love. And that’s exactly what it was. Everyone was friendly and caring for each other, and it’s really sad to see what Austin has become. I was only eight years old when I lived there, but I remember it with great affection. No one had to worry about their safety when they were walking down the street. It seems like good things can never last
Been in the Austin area 1.5 years, and noticed everyone's an ahole, escecially out in traffic. A dude backed into me and broke my tail light, was an ashole about it. I barely bumped a lady's car with my truck ( no damage) and she was an ashole about it
@ yeah dude traffic is a nightmare. My commute takes like an hour with toll roads. No merging courtesy or anything it sucks. Definitely doesn’t feel like the rest of Texas
I just moved here from Houston in August. Austin was once called the “nicest city in America.” The people here in Austin are so fkn mean and self absorbed, I can’t wait to leave either. Parts of it I love, but not enough to stay.
craziest part about this doc to me is working downtown Austin, i recognize about half of the homeless in this vid just from driving past them to and from work.....
@07:30. Female dog! If it’s so hot, why did you stop and talk!? Also, it’s 2024..You are allowed to be recorded in public. All this, ask for my permission before you record me is not a thing out in public!
This is a really good video. I lived in Austin for some years, and I am pretty sure I saw some of these guys out on the streets. It is nice to see the very few who turn their lives around.
Damn, as a born and raised Austinite (33 years), who still does ebike delivery downtown, this really vibes with me. Shout out my boy Shorty (homie at the water fountain with the obnoxious dog lady); he's always been a chill dude and I'll always buy homie a meal or something. But yeah, we've always had this problem in Austin for my life, but it's gotten much worse as we've grown. The main thing I'll say is that I really didn't see any representation of the people who look like they literally just lost their jobs; families, people with kids, living in tents. Lots of people who look like immigrants, foreigners, it's really sad. I suspect after the recent election, it's only going to get worse for these people, and probably many others. I really, really hope for these people, but as long as those who have things refuse to help those who don't, the world will be like this.
That's my Apartment Bldg. Those 3 are good folks. One is in rehab and couldn't get pain medication so she relapsed after getting hit by a car. The dude w/ the Highway Patrol taking a dirt nap has always fist bumped me. The gentleman wearing the fishing cap has always been cordial. They aren't homeless they live in my bldg.
If anyone is wondering about ways to help, we have a non-profit called Made to Serve to help feed these people in Austin (same ones in the video) every week!
I had a close friend I've known since high school named Liar (AKA Don Gato, Crazy Homeless Scumbag Dave, Careorist) who lived on the streets of Austin and SA for decades. He was mentally straight and kept himself and his dogs clean. He passed away not too long ago of natural causes and his dogs ended up at a shelter. I miss that dude so much.
@@GnosticElohimhelp the father that abandoned them? He obviously wants to live like that. You’re a sick person for shaming someone for being kind toward a man who probably did them no good will
Texas needs to legalize cannabis and start using the tax revenue to fix some of the problems we have. It's ridiculous that Texas is refusing to legalize it because of politics. Texas counties would be raking in that tax money, especially in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
All the smoke shops sell it now. They call it thca but it's the same thing. They even have stronger stuff like thcjd thcp etc. You can get hask dabs carts flower edibles. Anything it's wide open now
6:30 holy shit that's my brother. I aint seen that man in years. He's been in and out of jail his whole life. I thought he was in prison. Turns out this man was in atx the whole time lol. When was this filmed. I'm homeless myself but work and live in my car. Gotta to holla at my bro and buy em something to eat
Bro I've been seeing homie downtown for a couple years, he's honestly one of the chiller and more reasonable homeless dudes around here. I really hope he's actually cleaning himself up like he said cuz he genuinely seems like a good dude deep down
@Kelsonian_Institute yea he's not a bad person. He wouldn't hurt anyone or be out looking for trouble. He just has a hard time ever keeping a job, or being clean. There's been a couple times where he's came and stayed with us but ended up leaving to go back to this life. I showed my 2 older cousins this video who live much closer than I do, and they are going to see if they can find him.
Born and raised in Austin out the Eastside 2.1 if you know you know!, in the hood we had an area that we would call Crackhead central. A lot of them was coo, just down bad. Sum were on the st b/c that’s all they knew. You could give them a quick fix and they would come back with anything you might want or need. May the lord be with these ppl during there struggles and help them find they’re self out the situation they’re in.
First trip to Austin for me was in 1961 ( Native Texan ) and over the decades occasionally went back and Austin held up fairly well until the early 2000's and Austin really started going down hill when the California invasion began and just last year , I attended a High School State Swim Final at the U.T. Swim facility , my wife and I decide to leave our Hotel and go to Dinner on foot and didn't realize we where just 2 blocks from 6th Street , it had been 30 years for me and wow , I just couldn't believe that I was on 6th Street after stepping over homeless that were acting and speaking as if they had lost their Mental Faculties , it was down right bizarre for me ! So, we finally found 2 APD Officers on Mountain Bikes and they helped us find Ruth Chris Steakhouse , we took a Uber back to the Hotel as it had became dark outside and after having a great Dinner ,just didn't want to traverse that again , although the half naked College Girls where out in droves as we went down to meet the Uber car! The first thing we witnessed getting out of the Uber is a homeless dude taking cigarette butts out of the outside ash tray and trying to get a drag out off of the damn thing, really sad what has happened to Austin, Damn shame !
You guys are saying that the woman with the dogs is the real problem with Austin while the homeless guy is doing his laundry using a public water dispenser. Yup, Austin is weird.
Man Austin has changed I'm originally from Houston. I moved from Houston to Kyle back in early 2000s and it was nothing out there. we would make trips to downtown Austin back then hardly any high-rise buildings you was able to the Capitol building from IH35. And 6th st was still fun. It ain't now
Lived in Leander worked Austin cutting concrete.the homeless were who watched our equipment.the folks like miss dog karren.were the problem.always starting drama.
@@phyzzx tell me about it so sad. I went to oak hill elementary right there. right in back of Boomerz. they've developed all that land all the way to sw parkway.
Officer Umpkin at 5:36 is obviously not part of Austin Law Enforcement as he mentions an I-10 access road. I-10 does not run anywhere close to Austin. How many other clips have you hijacked to make this video. No credibility here.
Clicked straight to the comments when he mentioned I-10…. Scuse me sir… that is alarming he does not know austin if he is indeed head of human services in austin 😅
What's crazy is I have seen a few of these peoples interviewed in the video on my way to work or just traveling throughout the city. I do intermodal transit, splitting time between bussing and biking, and it's wild to get another perspective and see the spots I locally see. Of course, I think most locals avoid 6th street and certain areas now as the perceived danger and people's inability to be slightly uncomfortable or give a bit of compassion. Some of these people may be unwell mentally, but others are some of the sweetest people I have ever met :)
As a 4th Gen Austinite, 30 year East Austin resident and someone who works for the library, the growth of Austin is also it's downfall. This is a far different place than it was when I grew up, from when my parents grew up, my grandparents and so on. Most people here don't even see the homeless population as actual people and the people with money are turning this into the place they ran from. The level of discourse and entitlement between all parties is atrocious and Austin will never be what everyone is coming here for. East Austin was dangerous back in the day, but this is another issue altogether. Do us a favor, don't move here, there's nothing here for regular people, it's becoming a rich man's playground, isn't even family oriented like it once was.
You should see San Antonio, TX. It was the fastest growing city in the the nation of 2023 and I predict for 2024 too. I lived in ATX from 89-03. I see the same happening here in SATX.
Yeah so he can complain like a rich prick and offer no solutions... Typical transplant, get him and Elon out of my state. Go from Bernie to Trump, how the mighty have fallen much...
BORN AND RAISED HERE N CYBERTRON AKA AUSTIN TX. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ITS GENTRIFICATION IN MY CITY. SMH THIS IS SAD AND HAS GOTTEN WORST SINCE I MOVED TO HOUSTON.
The last 14 years(since 2010) haven't been kind to Austin. I used to party two weekends each month in Austin. I now avoid it because walking through downtown means stepping over dope-zombies, human and animal waste, pollution, and leftist refugees bringing their Californian culture with them.

Not in Texas, tort reform made it capped so get injured bc of true negligence and you sos, no lawyer will even take your case. Not enough money in it.
UGHH WHY DO YOU PROMOTE THIS SHIT?! ITS ON BILLBOARDS, BUSSES, AND NOW RUclips.
Don't like calling humans dregs at all .
Otherwise a useful video and fortunately the homeless do the talking.

My bet is she's from California
The uppity woman with the dog in the same frame as the homeless guy is Austin in a nutshell. Don’t miss it at all.
Yea it's turned into what I always assumed L.A. was like
Me ..Me...Me..it's all about my needs ;))
@@JustWhyFFS Austin is called Baby L.A. for a reason.

Weird you would judge that whole city by her
Dog lady is exactly what is wrong with Austin.
Yup, Californian 💯.
That dog lady was a miserable person
Californian implants
With women.. not Austin
most aren’t Tx folk, many many many west coast and from the north east. We Texans still say sir, ma’am and hold doors open.

She lives at the Hanover Republic Square 😂 All those people who live there are chitty and just terrible people.
I live in Austin too. The shirtless guy with tattoos at 6:26 attempted to assault/attack/rob me for no reason while I was going for a walk.
Karen doesn’t know that you can film in public maybe she should just stay in the house
What a c.....
Karen VS Karma
Her dogs would be COOLER
Stops to bitch at them then claims they are slowing her down to from getting her dogs back home and out of the heat when she chose to take them on a walk in the middle of the day
Dog lady at 8min is a prime example of what has been important from California and replacing the native hippy Austin people
How do folk not know filming in public (no matter the subject) is legal?
Exactly. No one was even paying attention to her, until she demanded it. Go back to Cali Karen
@@bebo821keep that two legged dog right where she is, we arent playing with karens out here
IMPORTED!!!!!!

2. You think there aren't Karen's like that who are native to Austin, you're sorely mistaken. Not every asshole in the city is automatically "from CA and ruining everything about Austin"

00:35 that’s my biological father. Miss you dad and good to see you looking good for your situation! Hope to get with you again soon!
Go help your father. Shame on you if you don't!
@@GnosticElohimcan’t help someone who don’t want help!
@@GnosticElohimhelp the father that abandoned them? He obviously wants to live like that. You’re a sick person for shaming someone for being kind toward a man who probably did them no good will
@@GnosticElohimyou can only help people who want to help themselves
What GREAT messages and people
Texas needs to legalize cannabis and start using the tax revenue to fix some of the problems we have. It's ridiculous that Texas is refusing to legalize it because of politics. Texas counties would be raking in that tax money, especially in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
All the smoke shops sell it now. They call it thca but it's the same thing. They even have stronger stuff like thcjd thcp etc. You can get hask dabs carts flower edibles. Anything it's wide open now
More drugs and drug addicts......that's exactly what our society needs, huh?
Soma for the masses
War on drugs is a multi billion failure
Why not just legalize all drugs and not tax anything?
Taxes are robbery.
Shoutout to all the rad organizations and individuals working hard to make a difference in this town. I love y'all.
6:30 holy shit that's my brother. I aint seen that man in years. He's been in and out of jail his whole life. I thought he was in prison. Turns out this man was in atx the whole time lol. When was this filmed. I'm homeless myself but work and live in my car. Gotta to holla at my bro and buy em something to eat
Stop lyin
@SuperHtownswag why would I lie. I'm from yoakum. That's my older brother his name is Michael.
Bro I've been seeing homie downtown for a couple years, he's honestly one of the chiller and more reasonable homeless dudes around here. I really hope he's actually cleaning himself up like he said cuz he genuinely seems like a good dude deep down
@Kelsonian_Institute yea he's not a bad person. He wouldn't hurt anyone or be out looking for trouble. He just has a hard time ever keeping a job, or being clean. There's been a couple times where he's came and stayed with us but ended up leaving to go back to this life. I showed my 2 older cousins this video who live much closer than I do, and they are going to see if they can find him.
@@nomaderici drive for uber... if i see him i'll show him this comment.
Alonzo seems like such a kind and gentle soul 🥺 19:58
Shoutout to anyone who says they are 1000% behind something and then immediately complaining about it. Thats whats up. America!
@@georgevossler8528 Americans only wanna help homeless if the helping takes place a hundred miles from them
aye bro this is a great video showing the real face of atx ! keep up the work brother
Austin is literally California now...
Thankfully we a net decline in population last year. The tech bros told them to move onto Nashville now.
Except worse, because it's in Texas.
More like LA
@konkeydonged Yes, we know you hate the Bill Of Rights and those that protect them.
Yet another person that does not understand what the word “literally” means or how to use it.
I know Shorty personally. The first two years I lived in Austin, I was homeless. He is one of my favorite people out there.
Born and raised in Austin out the Eastside 2.1 if you know you know!, in the hood we had an area that we would call Crackhead central. A lot of them was coo, just down bad. Sum were on the st b/c that’s all they knew. You could give them a quick fix and they would come back with anything you might want or need. May the lord be with these ppl during there struggles and help them find they’re self out the situation they’re in.
Glad I clicked this vid great stuff!
7:30 I hope his woman sees this video and sees how dumb she made herself look.
Yesterday is such an insanely good song choice. Well done.
First trip to Austin for me was in 1961 ( Native Texan ) and over the decades occasionally went back and Austin held up fairly well until the early 2000's and Austin really started going down hill when the California invasion began and just last year , I attended a High School State Swim Final at the U.T. Swim facility , my wife and I decide to leave our Hotel and go to Dinner on foot and didn't realize we where just 2 blocks from 6th Street , it had been 30 years for me and wow , I just couldn't believe that I was on 6th Street after stepping over homeless that were acting and speaking as if they had lost their Mental Faculties , it was down right bizarre for me ! So, we finally found 2 APD Officers on Mountain Bikes and they helped us find Ruth Chris Steakhouse , we took a Uber back to the Hotel as it had became dark outside and after having a great Dinner ,just didn't want to traverse that again , although the half naked College Girls where out in droves as we went down to meet the Uber car! The first thing we witnessed getting out of the Uber is a homeless dude taking cigarette butts out of the outside ash tray and trying to get a drag out off of the damn thing, really sad what has happened to Austin, Damn shame !
You guys are saying that the woman with the dogs is the real problem with Austin while the homeless guy is doing his laundry using a public water dispenser.
Yup, Austin is weird.
8:05 lmao random crazy lady
Great documentary. Keep up the great work.
Trolled by her own dogs😂😂
Karen VS Karma
Good job you doing Kevin. Real empathy.🤗
Austin used to be filled with Life and good vibes. Now its .. completely different.
This is really well done. Great music selections too.
Man Austin has changed I'm originally from Houston. I moved from Houston to Kyle back in early 2000s and it was nothing out there. we would make trips to downtown Austin back then hardly any high-rise buildings you was able to the Capitol building from IH35. And 6th st was still fun. It ain't now
6:20 I-10 isn't in Austin. Fact checking is in order here.
Lived in Leander worked Austin cutting concrete.the homeless were who watched our equipment.the folks like miss dog karren.were the problem.always starting drama.
this deserves more views. banger music choices too
Born and raised south Austin native (oak hill) The city has gone to shit. RIP Austin
Aye I went to Clint Small lol, I was kinda thinking about moving back to ATX but now idk hahaha
To see the massive blackberry thickets between the neighborhood and Mary Moore Searight Park replaced with houses is sad, but I get it. RIP ATX
@@phyzzx tell me about it so sad. I went to oak hill elementary right there. right in back of Boomerz. they've developed all that land all the way to sw parkway.
Was in Austin recently. You can see the difference in wealth on one side of 6th street to the other.
You had me at "shit portals"
Used to love to go to Austin.
Beautiful city, beautiful land, Kings Hobby.
The last time I was there, it was incredibly sad.
11:40 Damn bro I haven't heard Atmosphere in a minute
Wondering what that song was! Thanks
Can yall stop it with that freaking amazing editing 🤩
Officer Umpkin at 5:36 is obviously not part of Austin Law Enforcement as he mentions an I-10 access road. I-10 does not run anywhere close to Austin. How many other clips have you hijacked to make this video. No credibility here.
Clicked straight to the comments when he mentioned I-10…. Scuse me sir… that is alarming he does not know austin if he is indeed head of human services in austin 😅
What's crazy is I have seen a few of these peoples interviewed in the video on my way to work or just traveling throughout the city. I do intermodal transit, splitting time between bussing and biking, and it's wild to get another perspective and see the spots I locally see. Of course, I think most locals avoid 6th street and certain areas now as the perceived danger and people's inability to be slightly uncomfortable or give a bit of compassion. Some of these people may be unwell mentally, but others are some of the sweetest people I have ever met :)
7:44 bro he did not stop you like youre free to go bestie
As a 4th Gen Austinite, 30 year East Austin resident and someone who works for the library, the growth of Austin is also it's downfall. This is a far different place than it was when I grew up, from when my parents grew up, my grandparents and so on. Most people here don't even see the homeless population as actual people and the people with money are turning this into the place they ran from. The level of discourse and entitlement between all parties is atrocious and Austin will never be what everyone is coming here for. East Austin was dangerous back in the day, but this is another issue altogether. Do us a favor, don't move here, there's nothing here for regular people, it's becoming a rich man's playground, isn't even family oriented like it once was.
Austin use to be such a beautiful town. USE TO!!
Austin, California!
The West side of Austin is very nice.
Love seeing a new SIXSEVEN ❤
Born in Austin back in 73. It has changed a lot.
How there is more to come these documentaries are some of the best on RUclips
I moved to Austin from Houston so I could go to trucking school. As soon as I graduate I'm moving back home 😂
I mean not like Houston is that much better or different lmfao, just much worse traffic, more bullets flying around and disgusting humidity bro
Houston is a shit hole to.
You should see San Antonio, TX. It was the fastest growing city in the the nation of 2023 and I predict for 2024 too. I lived in ATX from 89-03. I see the same happening here in SATX.
Hellllll yeah I’ve been waitin for Austin! I hope Joe Rogan sees this and mentions it on a podcast 🙏🏻
Yeah so he can complain like a rich prick and offer no solutions... Typical transplant, get him and Elon out of my state. Go from Bernie to Trump, how the mighty have fallen much...
BORN AND RAISED HERE N CYBERTRON AKA AUSTIN TX. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ITS GENTRIFICATION IN MY CITY. SMH THIS IS SAD AND HAS GOTTEN WORST SINCE I MOVED TO HOUSTON.
4:38 I've told so many friends growin up "don't fuck with pickles from the gas station." Got a buddy who still does.... I think I'll send this to him
i lived in Austin and worked on 6th st. from 1996 to 2012 , best time of my life!!
The last 14 years(since 2010) haven't been kind to Austin. I used to party two weekends each month in Austin. I now avoid it because walking through downtown means stepping over dope-zombies, human and animal waste, pollution, and leftist refugees bringing their Californian culture with them.
I was there from 08-09 it was fun, but now from what I have seen on RUclips these past six years, it’s gone to Hell, sadly. I liked 6th street.
that man at 21 minutes, picking up trasg abd talking about the arch , is the truuuuth i pray for all my peoples out there
I once saw a homeless man throw his bike at the window. It happen at the ihop I was trying to eat at in downtown Austin.
You must've been at the one by Rainey Street lol
Homeless fights outside the ihop are a thing
