Hollywood residents tormented by nearby homeless encampment

- Опубликовано: 5 мар 2024
- A large Hollywood Boulevard homeless encampment that residents say is a hotspot for selling and buying drugs, a trash-strewn tent city they say took the city three months to clear, has sparked continued concern as unhoused residents are already returning to the location. Rachel Menitoff reports for KTLA 5 News at 5, Mar. 6, 2024.

Thanks to all of our Useless Politicians…
And who voted in these useless politicians??
Give credit to the voters, too
Don't forget your low paying business community.. and house flippers. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@wayneroberts6642 Yeah I'm sure all those junkies are homeless because their jobs don't pay enough 🤣🤣🤣
100% of the blame goes to those voters who elected the current politicians
But they have BILLIONS for illegal immigrants…
And, ukraine.... corporations.... gender studies...
I would rather give it to the migrants than American citizens that had every chance all Americans have to work hard and live a successful life but chose to throw that away and live in the streets because they can’t get a handout
And billions for Israel. These homeless people need billions of dollars to get out of the hole.
@@scoleman2620 so who's lazy, American citizen or the immigrants?
@scoleman2620 😮 great comment Iol
The rich Hollywood crowd need they're fair share of the homeless
Tell me you're not from LA without telling me you're not from LA: Hollywood is where the indigent of LA live. It's the armpit of the city. The "Hollywood Crowd" lives in Malibu, Palisades, Brentwood--anywhere but there...
does the man in the clip look like a rich hollywood crowd? what a generalization, sir.
Yes they do. After all they have been pretty loud about how wonderful this regime is.
It's not just an LA problem. I live in Dallas, and the homeless encampments are on the rise here, too.
*Their
Why don’t the famous Hollywood actors help to fix it???!!!!!
LOL, yeah, right. They'll demand that the working poor and middle classes do something about it, while they sit up there in their gated fortresses and limos.
It would cut into their virtue signaling time.
Come on, that's not fair. That'll eat into their cosmetic surgery savings.
Right?
Most of those people don’t want to be helped!
Keep voting in Newsome and the rest of these Demicommies.

Imagine what a community could do if they actually got together and pushed back.
Thats only gonna push them somewhere else. Need to fix the actual problem not a temporary solution.
Communities are fictional. Do you lie about my human slaves as part of a community?
@@MeYup-wb5sxare you [restating consent] to be kept as a slave until death?
It would be labeled a Pogram
Why not enforce laws on the books? Like loitering , littering, using the bathroom in public, fires, camping, being a nuisance etc. these things are not legal.
I guarantee, if you took a poop on the sidewalk in front of everyone, they would arrest & cite you because you have money to pay them. That’s all they care about.
This is L.A not a suburb in the south I dont know what you expect
"In the older case - Martin v. Boise - the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2018 that it's cruel and unusual punishment to criminalize camping on public property when the people in question have nowhere else they can legally sleep."
That would be futile. There's not even enough cops to enforce those laws, and they are all misdemeanors so that would solve nothing.
Because city council and mayor don’t want them enforced. 🤷🏻♂️
How is defunding police going?
Great I live in Louisville KY where our city is without insurance because of all the lawsuits brought against the LMPD for violating peoples rights. No one’s defunding the police. Pigs are defunding us
And who will you call when you have a car accident, burglary, or you get a beating from your neighbor?
Every city who defunded are now trying to hire back double 😂
🤦🏻♂️ let me guess, you ppl watch fox, did they also tell you trump won in 2020? How about that they had to payout over 700 million dollars, with another huge one in the works right now! Almost as if fox opinions has a credibility problem, weird! Lol

Sympathy and compassion can only go so far.
You’re right they do this to themselves! They can go apply to outside field jobs if a McDonald’s doesn’t want them.
I used to go to Hollywood in the early 90s it was paradise. Last time I visited Hollywood was 2021 I stopped visiting . Sad. Very sad!
I have to kind of disagree with you - it's been bad in that area since the 80s.
@@MothGirl007 it was the best place to be in the 80s ! All the glam heavy metal rock music everywhere, celebrities, used music stores, now it’s just ghetto.
I thought it was illegal to block a public sidewalk??
It is! ADA laws.
2 tiered justice. These sidewalk encampments in California will end up going through the eviction process which takes a while... But if your vehicle is hanging 5 inches out of your tiny driveway....
Only if you have a job and pay taxes
This is liberal California. Nothing is illegal! Careful what you vote for. Not rocket science!
It's also illegal to crap on the sidewalk. Do drugs on the sidewalk. Assault citizens on the sidewalk but law enforcement is instructed not to lean on these persons. Democrats want maximum damage from all fronts. This is not by accident.😮
how many billions of dollars has Karen Bass already burned through!? wonder where all of those homelessness dollars are going, maybe KTLA should ask the Mayor?!?
In your dreams!
Stop it already. Investigate the Governor Newsom that’s where the flood starts
going to their pockets.
They give themselves raises with it, plus bonuses n not to mention what's not documented too.
They don't report real news
Living in a place of negativity brings down your frequency to negative levels ☠️
What on Earth are you talking about?
I get it.
yes Hollywood is a place of low frequency
Very true
My cousin lived there for over 20 years and, aside from the traffic, he enjoyed living there. About 4 years ago he moved to Texas. He was ahocked at how quickly California spun wildly out of control under Newsom
Gee, what happen 3 years ago? FJB. Trump24
All these people complaining about what they voted for.
No matter how you vote, it's for rich people that don't give a f&ck.

Once republicans start acting pro-freedom, you’ll see republicans win more elections. But they’re still trying to enforce morality and theocracy on people who live in a free country so they will continue to lose ground.
There is more at play to the homeless situation, so your comment is ridiculous and unproductive. Tired too.
@@greenbeans575 what is it then?
You can tell Martha don't mind voting for the same people who has caused this mess, yet blaming police for this situation.
I doñt understand these idiots who camp on the sidewalk . When I was homeless, i was in the woods on the edge of town where nobody could see me.
I was homeless myself and i always had to worry about other homeless stealing from me or harming me so i set up a camp site in the woods, i had a fire pit to cook, and i was very well hidden. Im not homeless anymore and i work now. Take care dude i hope things are working out for the best for you.
It is terribly disrespectful and rude to the residents who own homes in that neighborhood. This can’t continue nationwide. Something has to be done to help the homeless.
well lets start my banning homes for business. Homes should be for housing. NOt some guy with boat loads of cash buys the block and trents them out. or corporations. or co from other countries.
if they dont like the homeless they shoulld move away
We, the American people, need to thank our government for all the chaos that they have caused. It seems that the collapse of America is near.
The Government was voted in, democracy at work.
It's the drugs melting people's brains.
Answer is simple. Vote differently.
If you're referring to something partisan, what would Republicans do differently? They're no fans of affordable housing.
For who? lol
You have lost your goddamn mind 😂
What would the other guy do if elected?
They never, ever, ever, will.
Thank you Demcrats!
All these poor rich people…… smh
It's NOT a rich neighborhood.
Oh they're talking about Hollywood the neighborhood, not the place where the rich live. The rich people live in nice homes in the Hollywood hills, but they don't really live around Santa Monica and Western lol
In Ireland the locals got sick of the police ignoring the drug dealers taking over their streets and they started paintballing them. It’s a foreign occupation here enslaving us and never getting arrested or their property confiscated.
Paintballing them ? Literally ?
And also the Irish used to be starving and homeless and used to eat only potatoes remember that....🤔
In the US drug dealers on the street carry guns.
YT deleted my insightful comment here.
I'll retry substituting PBJ for the OP's "PB".
I lost my housing twice during the pandemic, gave up on homeless services, and now live in a Toyota Sienna minivan. Homelessness will simply _never_ go away until there's enough affordable housing.
After being homeless twice, I took my small pension and moved to an Asia country and live quite comfortably (and safer), now.
The problem is Democrat politicians.
Even if there is housing..they will still live like animals and damage properties.
@@jza_23and its going to get worse
You have a vehicle, move to a state that you can actually afford to live in
Everyone in society has to take responsibility for this issue.
Thanks Gavin! 🤬
But, but Karen Bass said she was going to take care of all this... 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah right.
Karen Bass has a room in her house with all the money she made from the federal and state government.
she is ! from Paris
She lied
Bass, and her big dump truck that goes with her everywhere, just camp back from a tax-payer funded trip to Paris, France (not the Paris in Texas), to research how the French are managing their Olympics obligations, so she can better prep L.A. for the Olympics. Her trip, my guess, cost at least $125K for her and her entourage. Maybe she visited the homeless in Paris? I doubt it.
As a Society we need to fix the causes of homelessness and not simply focusing on eliminating the symptoms of homeless encampments.
Voting has consequences
HOBOWOOD
Let's get that 74 billion off to Ukraine & Israel right away before some one uses the money to house these folks.
Don't forget Taiwan😂
And don't forget the illegals.... American's on the street but illegals getting benefits! FJB
I can’t stand these democrats not using mine and other tax payers dollars on helping fellow Americans instead. Times are rough n our government doesn’t care about the ppl who are broke and would rather give 20-30 yr old college grads free college or throw away money on foreign wars that aren’t our concern.
Almost all of them would be homeless again within a yeaand what are you going to do, pay to house them for the rest of their lives?
@@kimcarpenter3611how are illegals getting benefits if you need a SSN for all of them??

They should all move in with the Clampetts in Beverly Hills. They got plenty of room and cement pond in the back.
California and New York asked for this problem. People treat animals better than humans.
Yeah, we spend billions on housing pets while humans die- Crazy
Agreed
so you're saying we should build houses for them or something? sounds like communism. It's because they get all the free stuff out here, and people tolerate their presence, that they continue to show up
asked for it... by not buying them bus tickets back to the republican dumps most come from?
As usual CA has to pay for your food that you shovel down your hole while you whine out your other one.
Most animals live in the real world. My dog spends zero time gettinhigh.
I would hate having to walk past homeless encampments every day. My anxiety would be through the roof
They reach out from under the blue tarps, grab your ankle, and pull you in to homelessness.
Imagine having to live there on the streets.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I wouldn't like it but who put them there?
@@WouldntULikeToKnow.Shortage of farm workers, truck drivers, fast food workers, meat plant workers. How many of these homeless are drug addicts and are unable to work?

What they wont tell you is how Reagan not only defunded mental health in the U.S., releasing 10's of thousands of mentally ill people from institutions in the 80s, but his trickle down policies and deregulation of the finance industry has created a two-tier economy. One where all the economic growth goes to the rich, and the rest of us will slowly end up poor, homeless, and unable to pay bills on a 40 hour a week job. This was ALL by design. Our economy has a new name; Casino Capitalism. And it benefits those closest to the money supply; the financial industry.
They don’t even care to mention why the growing homelessness situation is even happening over there. They just wanna report that it’s a growing problem for non-homeless residents already living in the area and nothing more.
More homeless than ever despite more government spending than ever. Interesting ain't it?
I think it's sad.
Developers build (for the most part) nothing but fancy condos.
@@scottcharney1091 Developers have NOTHING to do with this... go build tens of thousands of "affordable dwellings", see where that gets you.
@@mambi74 No, they have everything to do with it. The lack of affordable dwellings results in people with nowhere to live. This is not in dispute.
@@scottcharney1091 ok, thanks for letting me know - lol.
Guaranteed they voted the same
I lived in Studio City during the pandemic, and a parking lot turned into a Homeless TOWN. They were building two story STRUCTURES out of wood pallets. One guy built a carport for his stretch limousine that he lived in. Once I took a photo of the place and a guy pulled a knife on me and ordered me to leave. Another time I took a photo from my car and a woman threw a bottle at me.
They just throw all their garbage on the ground, even when a trash can is there. They use their trash like a FENCE to keep others away.
I believe that the "homeless" are first cousins to hoarders. The same lack of ability to act in ones own self interest, and to maintain basic sanitary conditions...
What did they think was gonna happen?
Stopped going down to Hollyweird for meetings years ago. Couldn't sit without some person asking for change and that was back in 2015. It's absolutely disgusting then and gotten worse.
Same in Vegas!!
@@a.e.7988 A lot of places just leaving them out on the streets. Need sanitariums and work houses back
@@deannafoster9721No, we need affordable housing solutions! A place in Vancouver has offered small studio apartments for only $1250 a month and huge common areas. That’s super cheap rent for your own space, even if it is small. America needs to invest heavily in small studio apartments for the working homeless who can’t afford to live where they work. I currently average 3-4k a month, I need a studio that costs about $1000 otherwise I cannot comfortably afford rent. Cant even qualify for a basic studio with this income. Getting approved for roommate situations is also difficult and time consuming and often leads to drama. I’m telling you, as someone who is chronically homeless and is employed most of the time, this is the #1 solution to the housing crisis. Affordable apartments that pretty much any working citizen can comfortably afford and qualify for. Homeless shelters, insane asylums, halfway homes, etc is not what the homeless want. People just want their own small little oasis to call their own. Why else do you think so many homeless prefer a tent or car over the spider ridden, disease spreading homeless shelters? We don’t want a shared housing situation with a ton of questionable strangers and a tall list of rules and curfews.
@@deannafoster9721 and hard labor to sweat it out of their system.

The problem isn't lack of housing or beds. It's drug addiction and mental illness.
They don't want to be helped though
And a rotating door for arrested criminals.
Where do you think the drug addiction and mental illness comes from? It comes from lack of housing and beds.
I was a hard working citizen in CA, I got laid off. I got very little help trying to get back on my feet. However, heroin addicts in SF got housing and even $$. Nothing for me. Glad I left!
Wrong. The only problem is residents and police being cowards and not fighting the homeless
Years of denying this problem…
Looking the other way from this reality will not make it disappear.
If this problem is still existing, it’s because the ones that have the power don’t want to solve it.
The entire Hollywood area is a homeless encampment.
extreme poverty of soul in Hollywood
Getting harder and harder to virtue-signal about the homeless isn't it..??
Oh, yes. especially if you have to deal with them.
They enable it then cry at the result
It's all so needless. Finland has shown the way forward. We could eliminate homelessness if we really wanted to. Tiny houses, a bed, kitchen and bathroom are available for 25K each. For 1.25 billion we could house 50,000 people. What else has our gov't spend 1.25 billion on?
I love how our country squeezes people to the point of homelessness and desperation and then get mad when these people have nowhere to go.
We, the people, need to unite and force radical changes to our political system and all of its tenacles. We are now ruled by greedy, corrupt criminals. This is not a partisan issue - it is ALL politicians. They continue to stoke the fires of division in order to secure their interest.
Too divided. It's over.

That’s San Francisco for you, no complaining just reality
ppl owning multi million dollar homes is the problem. no home should be worth that much. and if so they should be resposible for the street clean up too . why dont they help 1 individual every 3 months get housing?? the problems dont get fixed by crying and complaining things get done when someone takes the initiativr to step in and do the work. unless your out there helping these ppl get back on their feet shut the fol up cause your not helping. take ur money and buy an island if you feel entitled to ignore the outside world just cause you own an expensive house.
Maybe the houses aren't worth a million dollars maybe that's where the problem lies..

LA city workers are passing out free needles and meth pipes to the homeless…. You think there isn’t gonna be drug problem?! 😂
They are only helping migrants because they can get them to do cheap labor and they take advantage of their work ethic. With homeless it's much more effort to get them to be contributing economic citizens especially when there is mental illness or drugs involved.

That's the politicians' job. These so-called "public servants" are supposed to clean up the streets. Most homeless people just want handouts and don't wanna work, so the city should force them on the outskirts of town. Reserve the housing for the homeless with jobs or families.
