I agree. I know some of the poorest Ranchitos in northen Mexico and though the people aren't smart they live with dignity. They bathe, clean their clothes, work to take care of their children the best they can and they try to celebrate any little thing to try to squeeze some joy out of life. American poor just quit.

Let's say they can't afford to buy a house. What prevents them from working and renting? Not even a house, but an apartment. At least a room. I am sure that in a country like the USA, you can find a suitable town where workers are needed and housing is affordable. But no.

Parts of Rampart and Central Divisions are no longer what I knew.They are now full of trash, homeless people, and derelicts.

Im born and raised in los angeles age 52. Ladies and gentlemen it was bad never this bad! 70s 80s 90s all good. Luckily im moving out end of year far away. Finally

[@willjackson6729]

Great job Newsome and Karen Bass

[@stevensims3342]

More and more places going up for lease. Rampant unchecked retail theft and people selling all sorts of boosted goods. This is a more practical and realistic dystopia than the cyberpunk one we all thought we would find ourselves in.

[@a.c.6475]

Mmm!...the beef bowl from Yoshinoya, one of my L.A. favorites.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

This is not only sad, this is UNACCEPTABLE! Los Angelas, CA is one of the most expensive places to live in the country with some of the highest taxes in a country. The USA has the highest economy IN THE WORLD! How is the homeless crisis even a thing here? Homelessness is bad for the environment. Why are we sending BILLIONS to other countries while we have THIS here at home? It is PAST TIME we demand better from our leadership! Letting people live like this and spread diseases is not compassion. Having open borders and allowing drugs into our country which is a major factor leading to homelessness is not helping them. Being soft on crime on people selling drugs leading to homelessness is not justice. Spending MILLIONS of taxpayer's money on the "homelessness problem" which ends up with the net result of more people being homeless is not working. Remember ALL OF THIS when you vote this November! I live here in CA and for the first time in almost 10 years I did not get a tax refund, but I own money and I have busted my butt and worked more this past year than I have ever worked before. Several times I had to go without sleep, working from sunup to sundown in order to get my work done and for what? I am literally working right now to pay off my taxes AND FOR WHAT!?!?!

[@zzzz-sf5lr]

California doesn't know where 20 billion dollars went to help the homeless!!! Think about how much 20 billion is?! it's like Mount Everest amounts of money 💰 😅

[@stephentontz3853]

Yes! Vote for President Trump.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

@@stephentontz3853 Agreed! It is nice to see my "shadow banned" comment is not completely blocked off for everyone to see. Let's hope more people wake up and better yet they have the character and backbone to admit they were wrong by backing Biden and make it right by voting for Trump this November. #BlacksForTrump #Trump2024

[@debbiem9218]

Wow Los Angeles is starting to look a lot like Detroit. It's so sad to see so many people homeless, whether by choice or misfortune. What gets me is how can these people afford these tents, aren't they expensive? In any event, this is another great video by Charlie, thank you!

Never been to California always heard how nice it was along time ago, they need to step back and look at what is happening to their state

[@janicejames706]

It used to be really nice but not anymore and it’s sad to see my city like this

[@RenR70]

To be fair it’s mostly in the urban areas, Bay Area, Central Valley & LA county, outside of those areas there are still very beautiful parts of California left.

[@mrxman581]

​@@RenR70The urban areas of all those places are wonderful, too. The areas with homeless are TINY compared to the rest of all these cities. LA is 500 square miles, the areas in this video is a few square blocks.

[@woweric]

and the thing is all this hood shit is spreading, and it’s making the wealthy/middle class californias move to different states. especially texas because the property’s are so cheap here. they are making everything so expensive by moving everywhere and destroying other states with their california opinions and it’s only a matter of time where the homeless will rise up in other states because of the flood of californians moving there. california needs to fix their shit it’s a lose lose situation for everyone right now.

[@Hg999k]

Keep voting democratic kids. Great job Newsom

Keep voting for Newsom and the Dems.......Trump 2024 🇺🇸

[@jorgem6689]

You act like politicians are going to magically change this this place. This area of Los Angeles is a dump. And nothing has changed in over 30 something years now. Both parties have served terms as Governor's of California and both have never Done Shit! for the residents of this community.

[@Fr4uzi]

@@jorgem6689notice how people like that will always avoid commenting on videos that show republican run states and their worst areas.

[@YoungNino2017]

I've avoided that part of MacArthur's Park for YEARS now. Not too long ago I was on a bike ride and ended up on that corner at the beginning of the video and it changed me to see it IRL in 2024. I used to live near this part close to 20 years ago and people thought it was sketchy then... no no no. It's a million times worse now, you couldn't even describe how bad it is. Here's how it's changed me... it's easy for people to think, "LA has a homeless problem, something needs to be done!" Okay, well smoke on this... a lot of the people you see in this video probably aren't even homeless, and yet they are still this filthy, disorderly, and disgusting. California is pretty much third world at this point.

[@anbar1179]

Yup. My mom grew up in this area in the 60s. The last time we went by (2019), she was just disgusted how bad it got. Random, but are people still fishing in MacArthur Park lake? Lol

[@dissidentfairy4264]

What are people doing? Setting up shops in front of shops? Nothing like free rent. And what was up with that crazy red van? lol Wow! The homeless situation is completely out of control since the last time I was in LA. I heard it was bad but seeing is believing! It's unreal.

[@famousperson3315]

If you're talking about the red van with the banana on it, I believe it is a public health agency encouraging sexual health. Usually these vans and pop-ups provide free-of-charge STD testing, prescriptions, birth control, and other resources to minimize the spread of disease.

[@Jabpancho-om9sd]

Yet in Hollywood store owners put planters out front to deter the homeless setting up camp. The city made the shop owners remove the planters because "They were blocking the sidewalk"

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

If Newsom is president, then this will be America.
