The Mole People of Underground Las Vegas

[@kimberlycrittenden537]

This is so heartbreaking.My niece stumbled on this and noticed her older brother in it. The guy at the end of the video, the cook is my nephew. My sister hasn't heard from him in months since his dad passed away. He struggles with severe mental illness and addiction. He disappears sometimes for years at a time and my sister doesn't know if he is dead or alive. She checks jail rosters regularly looking for his name. Sometimes that's the only way for us to know that he is still alive. The tears in my sister's eyes when she showed me this video of how her son is living and his mental state just broke my heart.

Can't anyone do a wellness check on him and tdo 5150 him until he stabilized. He seemed to be around meth addicts and other mentally ill ppl, it can get very dangerous dealing with a mentally ill person that is on drugs as well, you have to trap them

@@shable1436 help cannot be forced upon people. there's only so much anyone can do. not saying its completely their fault that they're in that mess, it many times is the product of child abuse, but you cant give your life to help someone else you also have to look out for yourself. my moms friend suffers from alcoholism and we and mental health issues, want to help her but she isn't accepting it so we cant do anything for her.

The irony of this story is compelling. On the one hand you see the homeless live underground trying to make ends meet and battle with the uncertainty of their environment. On the other hand, above ground you know that lavish casinos abound where money is thrown around slot machines, table games, bars like money is not an object. Life is so unfair.

Lol @ “actually”

[@carolinaferreira9733]

One thing I find really interesting about these videos is that when u ask other people what to do about the homeless situation they usually reply “take them off the streets and give these people homes”, however when you ask someone who’s actually homeless they respond like the gentleman at 11:00 “give us jobs, give us ids” It really shows the difference in perspective. People who arent in that situation are more inclined to think about immediately temporary solutions, while those living the problme are thinking of things that can help them long term.

[@doctorgothicc]

It's so true. And often if you look in to getting a job or an ID you will have trouble getting it if you don't have an address associated with your name in that state. Sadly this vicious cycle is one of the major conundrums that the homeless population faces

[@ethanstump]

Yet in Utah, our housing first policy actually works better than just giving them jobs? And Utah is not known for being a liberal state. Housing is not a quick fix, it takes years to build, and years to fund. It's the long term solution these people need, because I've known too many of the working homeless to think that a job will actually solve these issues writ large, because if it was, it already would've since we have the lowest unemployment in the longest time.

[@Voxphyle]

​@ethanstump On average, homelessness in Utah has remained pretty steady since 2005 (which is when Utah adopted its housing first policy). So no, I wouldn't say Utah's housing first policy is a real success story.

[@ethanstump]

@@Voxphyle are you talking about total, or per capita, since our population has increased by 50% since 2000. of course, we are no finland, but literally being sandwiched between two of the largest population center's (cali and texas) means that we have had to focus greatly on housing, yet because of geography we can't really sprawl, and while that's great for density and affordability in the long run, it requires a higher amount of capital upfront. there's a lot of reasons as to why SLC is more expensive than many people give it credit for, and that means that actually housing the homeless often is such a contentious issue, because housing itself is pretty difficult here even if your a normal working stiff. what are you comparing it to?

Vegas Resident for over 30 years. Yes, we know about the people under the tunnels. There are homeless tunnel communities all over Vegas. Not just the famous ( Mole People ) one near the strip you are filming. Tunnel System 2 - Goto Flamingo and Maryland - there is a wash that collects water around some very cheap apartments. System 3 - is another near the Swap Meet in North Las Vegas. System 4 - Paradise under what used to be hard Rock Hotel now Virgin Hotel? Parking Lot. These are the ones I personally walked through living here for 30 plus years, you find them by accident. For instance, you are walking - but want to take a short cut ( get off the sidewalks, cut through places ) - then suddenly! you are in a homeless camp. If Tourist - stay where they want you -you will be OK, unless at Fremont Street Experience - where they are everywhere.

Man such real people, my heart is being pulled, it just is what it is. I feel the sin of omission ringing clear, because I know there's things I could do to help. Forget what I haven't done so far, that won't help anyone. Dude, your videos are beginning to humble me bro, I mean I'm not elevated by any means, but I mean I'm beginning to want to find practical ways to help them. I fish, I hunt, I camp, I garden, I do many things. But a fish or a deer, a campsite, sure it all felt good and nice, but they weren't worthwhile hobbies. I'd rather help people than do what I've always done. Ya, people need help. Keep showing where these people are okay, cause I wouldn't have known where to look prior to these videos. Keep giving out beer and cigarettes, people need that. Keep hearing their stories. Keep inspiring. Keep it up, please!😌

[@princessofchina2315]

Just came across your channel and this video. Impressed by your respect for these people and your compassion. Good documentary, good people. 👍

Great video bro! Watching from inside the car I live in. Very blessed to have this car, as My girl and I were sleeping on a play set at a public park with no job no financial help. Finding a job was difficult and took about a month, I’m very happy to be working now and have a car that runs and protects my girlfriend and I from the elements. I’m definitely not outta the woods yet, I have to keep grinding at work and on my dream. I do not do drugs or commit crimes or do bad shit. I think people would treat homeless better if they understood how easily it could also happen to them. Most people will never have an actual understanding of it until it happens to them or they witness it. Also you’re not screwed if you’re homeless and have no help. it might not be up to you how long you’re out there but what is up to you, is wether or not you give up!

[@purp2883]

Faith and hope will always keep us afloat even when it may seem we are sinking. Keep your head up bro! God bless 🙏

[@jonathanforlin1854]

It's nice to have a car to live in, I'm in mine with my GF and dog. If I loose this and the girl, a hammock looks the par. Grab a camo one and hide in the forest, easy here in Canada. I can't see the light, no "home" in sight for me. Glad you got something to aim for, go get it love your dream.

Straight From the Streets was founded by Linda Lera who is a family member. My son and his wife and Linda went down to the tunnels to make a documentary. Linda at that time was the only person allowed down there by the mole people because she helped them so much! It was her passion. The non profit is still going on despite her death.

[@reggiecosens9700]

I was in Vegas in august and it flooded really bad. I witnessed it first hand. Vegas isn't used to heavy down pours and when it does it can get crazy first. The flooding in august killed a few in the tunnels. I wish I could upload the photos and videos I have of the flood when I was there in August.

[@ethanwilliam9944]

I loved that you guys treated them with respect and not as a side show. They're human too and should be treated like anyone else. Well done fellas.

[@brandond.734]

I live in Vegas, and I'm pretty sure I've seen that guy that was cooking walk down the road before, was yelling and swinging the sticks around. Interesting guy haha. Great video about these people, always really interesting to hear their stories, a lot of things to learn about what not to do to help prevent getting in these situations, obviously not 100% their fault though. Gotta say though living in the tunnels is very dangerous, when it rains here, a lot of the time flash floods happen, and the drains are basically a river for a good amount of time.

[@lauradavis4848]

I lived in Vegas in the mid to late 90's. It literally rained one time in the 3 yrs I lived there. Rained 1/4 inch in about 20 mins. This past year I saw at least twice that it rained and flooded like crazy. When I first moved there, I had just turned 21. Saw a ton of people laying in the park on Maryland Pkwy covered in white sheets, 116 degrees out in Aug. I told my ex, something bad happened at the park, there are tons of dead people covered in sheets. He laughed at me and said they are homeless not dead. I was so nieve when I moved there.

I'm 24 living on Gold Coast, Australia. I rolled up on some old homeless dudes with some drinks one afternoon just to see if they would let me chill and chat some shit with em. Hands down, some of the best blokes I've ever met. This one fella, Andy, became homeless when his wife died. I don't think I've ever met a more caring, loving and happy dude. But his story near brings me to tears every time. I love Tommy for this shit. No one ever cares enough for the homeless. I work hard as fuck for my money and my family, but I will give whatever I can, whenever I can. I've been homeless and my mum IS homeless right now. I'll never understand the level of judgement people have for someone who's lost everything and is now living on the streets fighting to survive. I hate working in a rich ass neighbourhood and I'm the young lad on minimum wage buying a pie and water for the old lad doing it rough. I wish more people gave back. Appreciate you Tommy! These people are dope.

[@nicholascarver1]

We were on a bachelor party trip in vegas over ten years ago. My brother and i met this girl on the strip, jenni lee. She drove us around vegas and she was such a sweetheart. Very pretty too. She insisted on giving us each a hundred bucks to gamble with. It wasnt until one of our friends recognized her from her adult films that she was in that we found out she was jenni lee. She was in a documentary of los vegas tunnel people recently and it broke my heart.

[@MuckBlast]

This is the first Tommy G video ive seen and ngl I was expecting the worst from the intro. I was pleasently surprised to see how compassionate and respectful he and everyone with him was. I actually live in vegas and knew nothing about the tunnels, love the video

These people are some of the kindest souls. amazing share

This is real reporting I love this dude. Nothing negative. No bias just showing it for what it is. Keep on killing the game Tommy.

[@RogerTheWolverine]

Tommy I'm so glad I came across your channel. Man you got it going on. Keep up the good work 👍 this is becoming one of my favorite channels 👍😎

[@r3gret2079]

Gotta be honest, whenever I see these "documentaries" about homeless, I always get worried. There has been so many channels that do this n are so damn disrespectful, even if they don't mean it or know they are. They use these people n their situations as a way to make money and grow their channel. But thankfully, you n your guys did it right. From what we saw you were respectful and seemed really caring. Thank you so much for that. I have been homeless many times, n you'll never know just how hard they live until you're in their shoes. Again, thank you for being respectful and caring. I appreciate you.

Im not from the USA, but I respect the way you make this footage. The videos are about American citizans and the videos are made for the American people. Respect that you show the less priviliged people and show them that they have a voice aswell! Keep on going, youre gonna reach the top with these kinds of videos! ❤️

[@krisgaines3661]

I love that he noted they gave THEM water! People so often treat homeless people like they did something terrible to end up that way, or that they'll definitely steal from them...when a huge amount of the time it's the exact opposite! I used to pass a group of homeless folks every day on my way home from work. (They would all chill at a little private school building after hours, it had a nice big porch and they never tried to sleep there or left a mess so the school was totally okay with it) They would just be drinking on the cheapest of 40s and playing cards or a mini board game... first couple of times I walked passed I got asked for a smoke...'cause I was smoking. I was more than happy to oblige! They invited me to sit, but I was rushing back home for some reason. The third time they invited me I stayed for like 45 minutes! These people and their jokes and stories were amazing! And they were looking out for eachother...one gal hadn't showed up and they were calling all around because her phone had been shut off, they got confirmation she was safe with another friend. Visiting with them actually became the best part of some of my work days! I commuted 3 hours a day, so it was so nice to get to Crack a beer and just chill with some really REAL people. By about week three of me hanging with this group (which fluctuated, someone doesn't show one night, another does...but always at least 2 or 3) THEY STARTED BUYING ME BEERS! I had started buying a couple cheapo 40s or tall cans to bring to share...they'd asked me what I ACTUALLY liked to drink, just in passing conversation...and bought one special just for me! (Waaay more expensive than a cheapo 40) and they did this shit consistently despite my protests "Don't spend your money on me! I've got it!" They were always so insistent! "You take care of us, we take care of you! " So I'd always buy at least 2 40s on the way home for the crew...but they payed me back 10 fold for anything I ever gave them, I learned so much from those folks and I'll never ever forget them!

A lot of people refer to drinking as in being a drunk when u do drugs everyday there is no need for alcohol
