- Storms Rats Floods on Skid Row Homeless Encampments Los Angeles, walk with me on a very stormy windy and rainy day on skid row as everyone tries to stay dry. Today was a difficult day for the homeless as the storms caught everyone off guard including myself as I struggled to keep my umbrella in one piece. It seems like we have more people waiting in line for food now on skid row. Alot of people seek shelter indoors during the storms.
Skid Row, officially known as Central City East, is a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles. It contains one of the largest stable populations (approximately 9,200-15,000) of homeless people in the United States and has been known for its condensed homeless population since at least the 1930s1. Covering fifty city blocks immediately east of downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row is bordered by Third Street to the north, Seventh Street to the south, Alameda Street to the east, and Main Street to the west12.
The term “skid row” or “skid road” originated from a logging context. Loggers would transport logs to nearby rivers by sliding them down roads made from greased skids. Loggers who accompanied the load to the bottom of the road would wait there for transportation back up the hill to the logging camp. Over time, the term began to be used for places where people with no money and nothing to do gathered, becoming the generic term in English-speaking North America for a depressed street in a city1.
In terms of demographics, the racial makeup of Central City East includes approximately 39.7% Black/African American, 22.3% White, 16.3% Asian, and 15.1% Hispanic or Latino residents. The population is spread across various age groups, with a significant portion falling within the 25 to 54 age range. While there is currently no up-to-date population estimate due to limited data, it is estimated that the population increased by 13% after the COVID-19 pandemic1.
Skid Row remains a notable district in Los Angeles due to its long history of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and advocacy efforts related to homelessness1. If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, you can explore resources like the Skid Row People’s Market, which responds to structural racism and criminalization of poverty by providing access to healthy food and equitable jobs3, or the Skid Row Marketplace, which serves as a destination for fresh organic produce, art, culture, and civil rights resources4.
Gee, who wouldn't want Newsom to lead the country.... look at the bang up job he's doing in his very own state.....
Good one👍🏻
Before reading your comment, I was going to say nearly the same exact words. You are right on!
Don't forget to put Gavin Newsom back in office so this great lifestyle can continue.
Oh don’t worry they will with their rose colored glasses.
Back in ?
No one who is homeless wants Newsom
You cant fix stupid
If they’re gonna live like that why can’t they clean up after themselves or clean the mess. It looks so filthy and dirty
so true! the ones that are trashy and hoard i have no pity for.
Good question it I think it’s the drugs and it makes people hoard.
yes! it is a mental illness and could be why alot are homeless if they allowed their own home to become unlivable to the point they were evicted. the city takes over and either demolishes it or sells to a person who can afford to re -do and make profit. also renters won't allow hoarders or drug addicts for too long either.@@walkingtourseurope8526
@@walkingtourseurope8526if people were inside and had closets and cupboards and dressers it would not look like hoarding.
Imagine having to keep everything you own outside on the street and be moved weekly having to cart your stuff over and over again.
I know there are some people who collect stuff but it’s based in trauma.
Imagine loosing your home during the real estate crash 15 years ago.
Imagine being in a power chair and you can’t function.
Imagine trying to keep clean and organized in this weather.
Stop judging people until you have been there.
Not everyone has a SUD or a mental illness.
The non profit poverty pimps don’t get funding for the physically disabled.
Truth .
SL, felt sorry for the rat dying alone like that; we see in your rainy-day coverage that everyone out there has a will to survive no matter how tough it gets; they put up some pretty, well-built tents to keep dry. Cali now has about 3.2 Million undocumented people at the last count and they are not assimilating; they will end up like that poor, homeless rat scrambling around until a shopping cart hits him.
All the inner cities are being overrun by rats and the blue-tent people. This situation is beyond sad; but, you do such an awesome job with your umbrella and camera recording the horrific collapse and what degradation looks like at street level. We are going sub-human, little by little. My warmest regards for your bravery and persistence in saving this for future generations to see, as this generation is lost. Many, many blessings to you and yours!
We don't have generations left, The Most High arrives soon for Judgment Day, and less than a year to go. 2nd Enoch 20:3 Enoch returned in 2017, The Tribulations are almost over.
Thank You for the kind words! It’s harder for them than for me. It’s sad
Cali may have 3.2 million illegals but over 10 million that are know came into our country with there hand out! They need to go!
This is heartbreaking as well as evil to have people outdoors like they're wild animals. To much is given, much is required. We are required to look out for one another & the government has money. ✌️🙏🕊️Thank you for your videos, the time, effort, caring & love + you walking in rain to Even care. GOD Bless you, stay safe.❤🙏🕊️❤️🔥🙌😊
Why doesn't the Governor step in too end this mess. These people should have too be forced too clean it up and get out of the cities. It's disgusting and disgraceful! Shame of the Governor!
I feel like i am reliving the moment Jim Morrison wrote "Riders on the Storm."
He was talking about the Watchers. They say it was about his childhood and an accident he saw involving Indians but it is symbolism for something deeper.
JM's dad was CIA
@@truther001read this comment while editing an upcoming series I’m writing and producing about CIA Mind Control Experiments in Laurel Canyon and beyond in the counter culture scene. 👀👀
People Are Strange
The dichotomy of the pristine gender neutral restroom in the middle of all that squalor is perfect illustration of how L.A government prioritizes dumb things first.
I used a bathroom last weekend that was mixed gender toilets & there was a little 10 year old boy with his Willie out taking a piss , I am a girl, !!! WHAT? !
We love you "Street Life" its not easy what you do to film these kinda videos in areas lke this, thats what i call true dedication to youtube, your amazing
Thank You it means a lot let’s hope our government can watch homeless videos and improve skid row. !
@@walkingtourseurope8526 your welcome, and yes your right, very true, im from the UK and planning to come LA i been there once before, i hope to see these areas for myself one day too
The rain 🌧️ drops sound so soothing to me just woke up greetings from Vegas mane! Stay safe out there yaal! God Bless 🙏🏽
@@aaphotofilm poverty tourism?
You KNOW it is a shithole when even the rats are dying.
Yes!
I heard that the rats are complaining about illegal rats now.
@@Carlsbaddest ha ha ha that’s a good one.
Lmao
They got a hold of the fetty
Weclcome to the new normal southern California and skid row, rain rain.
Some of these shelters look bigger than my house. My wife keeps saying we need more space. Hmmm 🤔
They need to come through every couple days and throw all the crap away
Garbage everywhere😳
“THATS THE WAY” THE DEMOCRATS LIKE IT! 😡😡👎🏻👎🏻
@@birdy5378Yup agree 😞
Doesn't rain often in Los Angeles but when it does it's miserable.
It pours!
you know things are bad when rats cant even live there
Yes indeed so true but they are plenty more rats here scampering around
the rats will still vote blue like every one of them on the Biden plantation
They have just enough self-respect to know it's wrong.
@@walkingtourseurope8526 They know things...
it is shocking how many people are living in tents on the sidewalks
Yes every street has tents now. Great Job Adam Schiff!
99% of the Problem is because of Drug Lords !!! So the cops know who they are !!! So why do they let them stay in Business !!!?????????????????? WTF !! This whole thing could be cleaned up !!! But by Who !!!??????????????????????????
The scattered garbage everywhere sure is a nice touch. 🙄
when history is forgotten, it will repeat and remind us why it exists.
I love a good thunder storm. Good sleeping weather.
or meth taking weather in their case lol
Not in a tent ⛺️ it’s cold, wet & miserable
Free showers today. Everybody up!
I also love going out to my portable greenhouse when it rains.
You have the empathy of a rat. @@ruthmoldan5523
i can't believe how many people think that putting a tent up on pavement makes any sense
Nothing about this state makes sense!
And in 1 video I heard a woman scream " get TF away from my tent"!! Twice! Like OMG you don't even own that 1 small piece of the sidewalk!!
The information you gave at the beginning of the video is so important. I hope people read it .Thanks ❤😊
So sad, but justed because ya homeless doesn't mean you should justed throw trash on the streets. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
That's not all that they put on the streets
@@robertkoth4022 🤣🤣
i visited LA for the first time last month... was lookin forward to seeing "Tinseltown" after all these years of seeing the bright hollywood lights on tv... but when we got there i was like WTF IS THIS?!?!??!?... homeless camps EVERYWHERE... on the freeway almost every road sign covered with graffiti (barbed wire at the base of the signs that are not marked)... the walk of fame looked like the set from sanford and son... what a DUMP... the mainstream news media does a bang up job of making sure we NEVER see what's in this vid... absolutely TERRIBLE
(although we did get to see the intersection of hayvenhurst ave and plummer... the bridge used in the terminator 2 wrecker/chase sequence... after that i broke camp and got the hell outta there)
Your not alone and I tell people you need to stay away it’s not safe! Politicians are con men just go away and don’t give them your money. Bankrupt California it’s the only way no tourists will help
Briefly lived there in the 70’s, and the crime and homelessness was not there, but Hollywood was always shabby, even back then.
So weird to see the Cadillac parked next to homeless tents on sidewalk.
Yeah, Cadillac no longer means what it used to.
This will happen when people toss garbage all over the streets .
The garbage magically appears overnight.
Come on people pick up your garbage be fined and go to jail
Looks like ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK☂️⛱️🌊
Well, you can’t look to Portland (OR) for answers……that’s for sure.
Not sure why the city has not been sued by ada yet for not having safe access on sidewalks
And I think to myself what a WONDERFUL WORLD🌏
Third world
Democrat's World !
It's so sad for those who are stuck!
Some older people are sleeping on sidewalk with only a blanket no pillows here but our government is sending all our money to other countries and pet projects sad 😢
Its raining tear drops from my eyes!!!
This was pretty cool . I Love the Rain . The Rain cleans stuff up a bit :) QC
Glad you enjoyed it
Yeah it all runs into the storm sewer and then into the ocean !
Better vote red! You voted for this and more!😊
Such a family friendly area to raise children!
What has always amazed me is the drastic difference between the very very rich and the degraded poor homeless people in LA. In the mid 70’s it wasn’t any different. You will see limousines driving around and people living in extreme poverty
Yes and now there’s more extreme rich and more and more street people that are everywhere now in California Arizona just crazy
The city is doing a great job. Now go to work and pay them some more money
Taxpayers and businesses just keep sending your money in to support this lawlessness comply go with the plan and like it
Thanks for explaining where the term skid row originated, I was always curious.......
Sebastian Bach
You should send this to Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom
And they want to keep the Borders Open…. DemoRats
They won’t watch
“I AGREE”. 😡😡👎🏻👎🏻
Mother Goddess is trying to clean it up.😔🎇
Just another day for you and me in paradise 😢
Yes!
I wouldn't walk through Skidrow for a million bucks.
Oh come on , if somebody offered you $1 million to walk two blocks there I think I will do it and I am a scary cat big time but for $1 million wow, but maybe I will get killed and I will never get the million dollars😂😂
I have lived in california for 26 years. I moved to China to live last year. I never see 1 homeless people in China. Cost of living in China 10 times cheaper in california.
where are the trucks and clean up crew?
greatest country in the world, they say...
Non Stop Stab bing, Random Shoo ting, Mass Shoo ting, School Shoo ting, Road Rage Shoo ting, Smash and Grab Loo ting, Homelessness, they've got it all ..
I would think these times are the best for these people. No one screwing around, working to keep yourself dry, the calm of the rain, thing are cleaner after.
Yes it’s like nothing happened 2 days after a storm
Since there is a 99.9% chance California is going to vote Democrat again, It looks like this problem is only going to get worse.
It’s so predictable and after elections it will be worse not better
Just get rid of electoral college, that solves your problem. Not!
It’s going to take someone with heart and the ability and mind-set to solve the homeless problem. That doesn’t necessarily mean he or she has to be Republican or Democrat.
How about we tax the rich corporations that are robbing all of us and fund rehabilitation centers? 🤷 They're making billions in profits, keeping wages too low, and pay less in taxes than a school teacher or first responders...
What do you mean Republicans are worse Democrat are Republican both parties are garbage
God bless everyone...so sad y not right...I pray everyone is blessed in the name of Jesus...🙏🏼🕯❤️🤍🕊
Youre going to have to designate whole areas just for the homeless. Theyre usually all in one spot but when the city shuts their spot down they end up scattered throughout the city
Yes it’s a game of cat mouse
That was me and the good humor truck. I love watching Democrats wallow in their own shit.😂😂😂
sure there is a lot of money to help ithe migrabts, lets help the homeless first
Rip to Ben 🐀
What kind of camera are you using?
WOW !!!!!
America "Land of the Homeless" where everything is "Take what you want".
People are heartless to the poor n needy.... Heavens not far away for us❤
L.A. city council needs to get some balls and do a sweep of this area to move out all these tents and all the trash. Not to mention and poop that is present on the sidewalks.
Its long over due and you must take back your city. If not then you should pack it up and get out.
thanks Newsom Pelosi and more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Job well done newsome! This is Truly Disgusting!!
It's up to the city's elected to fix the problem the funding needs to happen to clean people up and to let the Streets and the county become safe
We have no mental health facilities and drugs are an epidemic here, groups are using drugs right in front of the police station right here downtown!
Thunderstorms in L.A. Not common.
You get what you pay for, or on this case what you voted for. And yes Californians your paying for this! A quote from the famous Forest Gump (say it with me) "stupid is as stupid does."
Love how environmentally conscientious these lefties are. Also, there is no class division...Everyone is on the same level. Everyone gets a tent!! 🤡👹
This is freaking ridiculous.. homeless or not , they should be held accountable for all that dam garbage, no respect at all
I agree 💯 need to be responsible for something I mean damn
@@freespirit21newyork, exactly
Blue State 😅
As long as there are people living on the street with no proper sanitation or garbage disposal, there will be rats. Lots and lots of rats.
These tarp people aren't the cleanest ya know. Duh.
This is what America thinks of its citizens
That shit looks tacky. LA needs to clean that shit up
You couldn't pay me to live in any part of California no way😮
People are finally waking up and leaving
How the city allows this to continue is beyond belief.i guess they really don't care about their tenderloin area.a solution is probably a long way off because it's such a huge amount of people and they don't want to get off the streets.
Seems like the harder they try the bigger the mess!
A clear cut case of "More Dollars Than Sense" (cents) --- and this is one of the richest cities in America --- they must be so proud --- :(
Not the California I remember. I doubt I would make it walking down that street without….🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮😪😪😪 Never went to Skid Row…Thank everything 😧😧😧
It is so disturbing, and obviously CA is slowly being destroyed.
BUT You Won't Find One Plastic Straw!!!! THATS PROGRESSIVELY BETTER.
That’s very true I haven’t seen any straws
🙏🙏🙏
Funny, one homeless guy as chains on his stolen bikes outside his tent.
Yes I hadn’t noticed that 😂
The so called leadership of this city, and state, should be removed from office and ashamed of themselves for not doing their jobs.
WHO is in charge of this City ? Apparently this is a City with NO GOVERNMENT, NO HEALTH CODES, NO ZONING ? NO LAWS ? No empty buildings, parks, parking lots to house these people in ? The graffiti and filth are appalling.
It smells worse than it looks
@@walkingtourseurope8526OMG....what does it smell like?

Nice!
This is terrible living in a tent in the rain is miserable, nothing stays dry 😢 South Cali is becoming like us in Florida rain rain rain
Where do the homeless find all these tarps from? Just a question I’ve often wondered.
Often donations from people who still believe in serving those less fortunate. Sometimes stolen out of desperation
They do receive money monthly and the older guys probably save money and tents are not expensive
My solution is that on everyone's social security card there are numbers that say where they were generated. The states need to take those people back or send California the money for them to have a homeless tiny home. It is a lot less in other states to house them do they really want to over pay to keep them in California ?
Tarps aren’t cheap and cheap tents r cheap
At the tarp store, I presume 😂
Dante himself couldn't even image this hellscape.
Yeah it’s pretty out of control now.
Living near L.A., every homeless person I've talked to is from another state, especially Colorado
Cleveland and Detroit ain't even this dirty y'all.
If everyone took a moment and picked up the litter - it would look a little bit better
Every morning it’s the same then the street cleaners come and by evening it’s more trash, there are just to many people here!
California dreamin'
On such a winters day…
Such a sad miserable way to exist.
California is gettin right now and it ain’t no joke.
Thanks for watching this!
If the government would STOP paying them to do drugs, they could use THAT money to buy a huge building and turn it into a rehab , not a little 2 weeks rehab- but for as long as it took.
And make that long term rehab mandatory!
There is low income housing being built now but I think it’s not for the people in the streets I have a feeling non citizens will get first choice not sure but….
Can you imagine 2000 years ago eating the grains in your store house crawling upon open land in the middle East
I offended wonder how they dealt with rats mice and other things that crawled like snakes
They still have those grain shops maybe lots of rats
I just wonder how the REALLY GEEKED out people are handling this ?????
Is it to late for me to open a tent store there, or are all of the tents stolen property?
Not sure where they get tents ?
Your TAX MONEY is GIVEN to these so called NGO's who buy the tents then give them to the DRUGGIES, BUMS, ILLEGALS, LOWLIFES.@@walkingtourseurope8526
they have to pay rent to the local street gang to have tent on block or... u know...
It’s amazing and sad that such a city in such a once great country could turn into a 3rd world toilet in so short a time.
But it’s normal now. People living in La just except this like in India!
I love the clean state of n c
Looks like God is fixing it for you. Wow!
gross.
This is nothing its only gonna get 100% worth .im paying 15 doollars a meal thats expensive
After living in California for 52 years I couldn’t stand it anymore. The homelessness..crime and
general poor living conditions were too much. If the people of California keep electing the same
people nothing’s going to change. I moved to another state and am so much happier.
That the number one comment I hear so I think the maps for voting are Gerry mandered so districts are weighted to favor the democrats. Also illegals are counted in the census so politicians get mor funding as well. Nothing will change until it’s totally destroyed like Seattle or San Francisco under Pelosi. We shouldn’t have to live like this with no voice.
This is disgusting!! Do they ever clean the streets?? It is so sad that you can’t even walk on the sidewalk in some places. There is no way I would ever live in California!! Is this skid row?
Looks like it!
Yes it's skid row I live there by the midnight mission
decaying society
