That parking sign is a scam! 😡

[@KutWrite]

If it were monetarily worthwhile, one could sue them for fraud and misleading advertising. Note how they allowed the tiny "first 10 minutes" print to fade. That indicates intent to deceive.

Sad.... Holiday depression is a real thing. stay safe Mike

[@taoist32]

There is a huge correlation with the season’s weather when the sun is not as strong. Vitamin D levels decrease while depression increases. A simple solution, which may help, is taking Vitamin D supplements when fall and winter arrive. I do this as my D levels are slightly lower than normal.

[@cooldesertbreeze23]

Hey Sugar Daddy.. or I should say Sugar PaPa. I too love those outdoors markets in LA or anywhere. Lots of cheap stuff but also good deals. You got great footage of attempted rescue. So sad to hear person didn't make it 😢.

How odd that the government will extend all these resources for one lost soul while at the same time ignoring all the people living on the street.

[@KutWrite]

Different departments. Believe me, all government spends as much money as they can, so they can justify asking for more with each new budget. Job One for all government is growing its own size, scope, and power.

[@scotabot7826]

It's NOT the Governments job to look after or "raise" adults. Or clothe, feed or anything else!!! Nothing wrong with helping people in need, but they have to WANT the help, and be willing to help themselves!!

I saw most of this, but my guess is that the scanner had an issue with your video, which i didn't really see why. That parking scam is wrong, the lettering being so small was on purpose, and i imagine they've made a lot of money from it, so I'm glad they didn't get your five buck's. You crack me up when you show the toys, you must be young in your head like me, because i think the toys are still entertaining to. I wouldn't buy from that guy trying to haggle you either, it just seems like a shady way to do business, and it makes you wonder how many people have been ripped off. You are the sugar daddy GIV, because you are sweet and genuine. I know you make your mom proud, she is kind like you, and i like her smile. Tell her much love and hugs from a lady in Michigan. That's really sad someone was so down and out that they tried to take their own life. I had really bad depression for several year's, and i tried to check out, and i shouldn't have made it, but someone was looking out for me, because it's a miracle I'm here. I was told i had depression, but actually i had two different medical conditions that were misdiagnosed for year's. I have progressive multiple sclerosis, and had a parathyroid issue that was fixed in 2020 by taking out 3 1/2 of the 4 parathyroid glands that were enlarged, causing the calcium to be pulled out of my teeth and bones, but it also caused depression and anxiety, which went away after the surgery. I think the holidays are hard for some people, and that's why there are more suicide attempts around the holidays. Thanks for taking us out today, and also for promoting people getting help if they are thinking about suicide. Being in that state of mind is a bad place to be, and there is help out there. G-d bless.

[@moneybags179]

I would dress poor then haggle the price The ally is where im from!!

[@kevinestrada900]

Yea!! I never park there because I learned years ago it’s $5 per 15 min. It’s usually $10 or $15 for the whole day. But I always find street parking. Back in the day when the homeless were different, you give them a few bucks, they will continue to add change to the meter for you and take care of your car. I get my heavy metal or punk shirts at the Santee alleys

[@manp1039]

That story about the $5 parking scam is wild! The tiny faded print saying 'First 10 minutes' is definitely misleading and feels like it's designed to trap people. If you parked there and refused to pay once they revealed the full price, would they let you leave, or would they still demand payment? It makes me wonder if this can be reported to the city or a consumer protection agency. I tend to avoid these private parking lots for exactly this reason. In downtown LA, there are some public parking lots or city-operated facilities where the pricing and signage are much clearer. It’s worth doing a quick search or using parking apps to find those options ahead of time to avoid scams like this. Thanks for sharing-it’s a good reminder to always double-check the signs!

Great Coverage of that rescue/retrieval effort!

[@ybergik]

Had a similar experience down in Mexico looking at an aztec sun stone. It was $80, he claimed, but he eventually offered it to me for $20 at which point I accepted. Later, in Tijuana, I saw it for $25. It should probably have been $10, but I got it at a reasonable price along with a fun story, so there's that.
