@Motorhome Marx Ooooh edgy buzzwords. Someone has a different opinion than me...must be bootlickers. Lets not pretend you are not homeless and do not have a invested interest in the BS you are trying to push. You are not homeless. You do not live in a tent. You have an RV and you use family and friends to charge your lifestyle. No one asked for these people to hoard garbage in an area with homes and businesses. Providing blocked access for those with disabilities trying to get to and from locations. What a one tracked mind. Literally multiple service to help but people choose to just have motorized bikes, cellphones, and laptops while pretending they don't know how to google. Side note before you try and come up with something witty, I have lived on the streets in a tent for years. I have been homeless in SM on the strip. Take your dirty ball of grime and get lost.

I think that is what homeless normally do.. but the pandemic had created a very difficult situation that was abnormal and made survival for homeless much more difficult. resources that would normally be available were not available.. and that includes for the housed as well.. but the housed had a home for refuge. For example of many many examples.. gyms shut down.. banks closed their doors to access by customers. restaurants shut down.. and for 2 plus years we didn't know when or how things would shift .. would things get worse or better and how?? there were frigtened people on the streets.. public transit shut down.. and civil servants were afraid.. and they denied service to the public.. they discriminated and could get away with it because there was no one to stop them.. and people lost their homes because landlords could get away with it.. landlords could harrass and discriminate and unlawfully do things to get tenants out and make them fearful for their safety so they would leave. where we are at now.. hopefully, is that the pandemic is behind us.. and we are like in the post 1994 earthquake (except this pandemic earthquake has been going on for 3 plus years) and we are trying to recover as a society/community. I hope the police get the emotional support they need to along with their crews of social services staff while working with thos injured during this pandemic and trying to clean up the city.

Most of our homeless are in one area Kensington and some other scattered sites throughout the city. I myself had problems finding housing that was either affordable or close to work and or in a decent neighborhood. None of these three criteria were met so I'll end up buying a RV. I'm parked next to a public park out-of-the-way and taking up no space nor anyone's parking spot. I'm discreet and quiet and I don't make a mess I go to work everyday. I'm one of the lucky ones. I've been chased a few times before I found this spot and the police officers in this video get the gold star for their behavior and patience. I've been chased by police and had a sergeant make me cry because I couldn't get out of this place I was in and the neighbors would just complete a-holes. Anyway I digress. I don't understand how all of this trash has accumulated and the point of Gathering somebody possessions when you have nowhere to put them.

There were no available residences literally no residences. The neighborhood in which I was residing at the time in my search with three different realtors and my online searches I found one property and it was a house for sale a small bungalow if you will a 2-bedroom house that was probably between 900 and 1000 square feet the asking price was $ $400,000. That wasn't going to happen. As for rentals there was nothing available. Some places in North Philly that will roach-infested and crime-ridden and I lack the melanin to fit in. My only option was to buy the RV. I've become adapted to small living and I've come to enjoy it. Like I said I don't make noise, I don't make a mess, I'm cordial to the neighbors and I put my trash out on trash day. They see me go to work everyday and they see me come home like a normal person. So far it's been cool. I do elder care and I do hospice work, the woman I currently care for is 96 and has dementia. Her family's has her money by power of attorney and I know for a fact they will not put her in a care facility because that would eat up her money. So I've got job security. She'll probably live maybe another two years and in the meantime I plan on saving all the money I would use for rent and for a mortgage as well as utilities.

I don't understand why the City of Venice doesn't just pass a city ordinance that prohibits camping within the city limits. I was a Police Officer in Florida for 25 years and the city I worked for had just that ordinance. No camping either in a tent or trailer, nothing, 11pm to 6am 7 days a week. Solves the problem. Yes you are moving them but allowing this is creating a much larger hazard and should be dealt with. Unbelievable they come in and I guess Clorox the place and they all go back.

[@GUITARTIME2024]

venice is part of LA. you can limit certain things but legally its hard to have a total ban.

[@cathyking8013]

@@GUITARTIME2024 true even being a part of LA is big. It could be a city ordinance but police would have to arrest every violator and that seems a hill too far. I was a Police Officer for 25 years in Key West and it is only 4 miles by 6 miles across. But huge ban on camping of any kind. Even the random big RV trying to stay overnight in a parking lot. Nope they had to go over the bridge to Stock Island. I worked night shift and it was a pain but I get why the City did it. Small place and if you let anyone do it the place would be over run.

[@zthang]

Took my family on a 48 state trip back in 2020 and couldn't believe how nasty some of these cities are. California was the worst. You can't even enjoy the cities for the homeless. Passed out on the sidewalks, puking, doing drugs right in front of everyone, pissing right on the sidewalks or sides of buildings. Tents as far as you can see. While staying at a hotel in Kansas City, MO I got up early and went for a walk and outside there was a man in a hospital gown walking up the sidewalk busting out the windows of every car. I called the police and when they arrived I had to show them where the guy was, he was passed out right by a car he had vandalized and they just ignored him. They were literally 10 feet from him pretending to be looking. Then told me if they arrested him he'd just be right back out. I understand people have misfortune but most of these people don't want to be productive citizens, they are drug addicts and alcoholics. You can't even eat out in public in most places for them coming up while eating wanting cash. Almost every gas station I got out at to refuel I got approached by people wanting money. The Gov should create a work farm for these people and round them up and make them earn their keep, pay them a wage, provide onsite housing and they could sell the food they grow to sustain the farm. This would be the leg up for those really wanting a new start to life. But the reality is most of these people are just trash and don't want help, they only want cash for their next high. There's a reason they are homeless and most are because they have already burned through their family and friends because their habit was more important than being productive.

[@James-nv1wf]

That sucks, I'd do anything to live in the States and use my experience to work and be productive, but I'm stuck in Canada.

This is the true problem with the homeless. It’s not as much of the tents. It’s the trash and makeshift shelters blocking the sidewalks and streets. It’s the unsanitary conditions. Nobody wants to see people suffering on the streets, but just because you have drug and alcohol issues, does not give you the right to take over public property.
