At 11 PM I found out on my Citizen app that there was a big warehouse fire in downtown Los Angeles right next to skate row immediately I headed down to try to film the fire after everything was under control I decided to go for a ride with my scooter on LA‘s worst homeless encampment street called skid row. It was pretty scary at the end I went to sixth Street bridge to see if I could find any updates.

Back in 1995, I worked on a movie filmed in Skid Row ("Flashfire", with Billy Zane and Louis Gossett Jr), and the area was a shithole even back then, with cardboard condos filling the sidewalks after dark. The homeless would grab a cup of water and a newspaper, and clean your windshield for a couple of dollars. When they earned enough, they'd score some crack cocaine and go smoke it, then repeat as necessary. Many of the faces showed no soul, and the haunted owners would break your heart as they endlessly walked through their meaningless lives, as if waiting for the gift of death. All these years later, I'm still haunted by the memories.

10 years ago, I worked in an L.A. County park in a sports office on weekends. Sometimes I would have to call 911 about disruptive homeless persons. The dispatch would ask me for the approximate age and race of the person...a couple times I genuinely could not figure out if the person was white, hispanic or black because their skin was so weathered.

40 years and it's a thousand times worse. My daughter and I would go twice a week to the flower district for her shop. It was crazy at 2 am then, I always went armed after she was followed to her van and hassled by a crazy homeless person telling her he would kill her if she didn't give him money. Glad everyone is safe. I took the last ride on the old bridge it was always mellow. Now with the new one it's crazy and distractive. Thanks for the brave sharing GIV the real uncut trusted reporter.

Not sure what is considered good in LA to be honest. Moved there in Jan 2020 and left to Benicia in Mar 2023. Best decision ever: LA is overpriced and overhyped. You either have to make 105K to live in a real good or live in a dump. For 1600 I lived in Van Nuys with roach infestation that was beyond disgusting (non livable conditions) and for 1800 I live in the same sq footage with a beautiful balcony and no roaches.

I've been lurking around here as a sub for years. I enjoy your videos and your channel. Your content is often spontaneous and raw. No fancy editing, no drones, no music, just pictures and video documenting the second largest city in America. From the looks of it, DTLA is at once vibrant and depressing, art mixed with poverty and degradation. Filth and chaos next to glamor and that "new building," yet another example of the wealth of the city. Some of the other KZbinrs I follow, many of whom you have collaborated with, come off as pretentious and wordy, or like braggarts. Not you. You have a gift, man, that keeps on giving. One day I might visit LA. The whole idea of LA intrigues me. I might look you up. Keep doing what you do, and stay safe. You ever been to Bad Tölz? I have.

I love the music and haven't seen you in awhile. Very skillful camera work as well. I do not miss Los Angeles but this is not a Los Angeles problem. This is a United States of America problem .. really nobody has the answer. It's very scary and it's not going away. Not until somebody really passionately wants to address all the factors not just select which ones they feel are the most important People talk about the administration sending millions billions to ....but there's millions , billions being wasted right here in this country , in this very state where I am. Right now people cannot afford their rent or get health insurance. the governor has spent millions upon millions of dollars ......... for a project ..his so called belief that he won't back down from. this country's in trouble Keep doing what you're doing

Thanks Mike for all you bring us but be careful and think of your safety first!!!!!!! Whewwwwwwwwwwww, I bet the sound of all of those fire engines, were loud!!! Mike, I swear, you always are right in the middle of some type of something, mostly good and sometimes, dangerous!!!! U really should get paid for the pictures that you take!!! Looks like the news channels would welcome pics like this and pay u to get out there, take them and send them to the news station! Hard to believe that the city of Los Angeles wouldn't want to build housing for these homeless people, if nothing else, just to clean up their streets. It's hard to picture Los Angeles without the homeless being on the streets, literallly! It's very very sad and it make you ashamed of our country who sends all kind of money to foreign countries but they don't give a shite about their people who are in need, it's pathetic and very very sad!!!!

I’m a70’s baby. I grew up my first 13 yrs . We live in studio city on Ventura Blv. It was not like this back in the days. Bad yes. But today it’s sickening to see how bad it’s gotten. Watch your back hun. I’ve seen the “LA River” all the way to the top before. ✨✌️

I was in DTLA last week as we went to Coles for a roast beef sandwich and a couple of beers. I gotta tell you. I parked across the street and counted 15 large piles of human poop right on the sidewalk walking back to the parking lot. The smell of urine was disgusting as well. They need to install a giant drain in the middle of LA and flush it all away. It’s one giant toilet

Son of a gun I used to work at San Pedro St, and 10th St. with a knitting factory before they moved every thing to China, for cheap labor. After that I got me a job with Southern Pacific in Glendale yard, now is Union Pacific Rail Road. I love Los Angeles with all my heart,

Like you say at the end of this video, "always something to see.....", I like those UP locomotives as well, they appear to be working,.... once upon a time, in another life, I once worked for the Southern Pacific railroad, I wonder if there is still a building somewhere in the downtown district with the big block letters "SP", visible on the building, thank you for another great video, cheers from New Zealand.

I don't think anyone has any intention on going at 1am unless they are homeless or making a damn video for YT. Your luck will run out one day if you keep going to these homeless areas. People know what LA is now. Even people in China have seen these videos of Skid Row, Tenderloin in SF and Kensington in Philly. They just laugh and shake their heads.

Dude I'm in Seattle this is bullshit it's a piece of shit city because of liberal maniacs!! Portugal decrimalized drugs and not a single homeless person walking around ! And by the way they didn't decrimalize all drugs if you walk around with cocaine you will be probably be arrested. So not all drugs are officially decriminalized!!
