They’ve since enacted laws that prohibit camping on the beach. I believe this is all window dressing in Garazetti’s part to keep him from being recalled. It’s going to go back to hell as it’s part of their plan of gaining more control over their constituents

So very sad 😥 Glad it's finally being addressed, cleaned up, and getting services to those in need. I have friends living in fear around Venice Beach because many homeless are mentally ill and dangerous to themselves and others. I hope the efforts made will resolve these issues and restore the health of people and the community. God Bless!

The homeless are really good at hoarding junk, pieces of stolen bicycles, pipes, shitty art, things they never use and clothes they never wear. Garbage too (just put it in the garbage bins). If I were homeless I'd at least keep things neat and tidy.

Can’t wait to see your next video 🥰 God bless all the homeless people and I’m praying for them. 🙏 I can see some people have a lot of trash and some keep everything very tidy either way each person has a story and each person has different needs to overcome being homeless. This can’t be easy for the homeless and the people trying to help that are truly compassionate. I think people build all that stuff around them to feel a sense of security I can’t Imagine having no sense of security not feeling safe not able to lock my door and sleep in peace.

What a fucking mess! I really hope this city is gonna follow thru right to the end for the folks that are truly homeless and WANT the help (not those losers who come from other states that DO have homes but just don't like rules.) cause if the city or state or whoever doesn't...they just going to move to a new beach or somewhere! It has to be SOLVED and not "bandaged". Thanks to G.i.V. for a swell show. "GINSING!" \m/

[@borisquince6302]

What you are suggesting sounds nice in theory. But let's be honest, it's impossible for any city to do that, they will just keep coming. Where do you draw the line. The only solution is to enforce strict no living on public space laws and have camps far away for those that need them. You can house everyone. That's what unemployment benefits are for, to get you back on your feet while you find work. If you fail you have to move to a town, city or place you can afford. Not the most expensive in the world. I would tell my child the same thing. Face reality and man up.

I didn't specify a method, just that the help must lead to a positive end or they will all be back. I didn't mean ta say it would be easy or anything cause it won't be easy and I didn't say the cities have to do all the work for them, just keep helping and guiding the ones that really WANT to get out of the gutter. You want brutal honesty...ok. This problem is most likely not solable at all. \m/
