Today I went to Venice Beach And for the first time I realized how many businesses are out of business in Venice Once Venice Beach was the number one tourists attraction now it feels like it’s a ghost town There are still people on the beach but nobody is really buying anything

I think all the homeless setting up shelter in front of the business makes the business district look unattractive and trashy. It makes the tourist and customers not want to hang around the place or shop. High rent also contributes to people leaving state of California and low wage. Salary/wage is not high enough to cover expenses. You need 3 full time jobs just to survive in California. $2000 TO $4000 a month is ridiculous. Money greedy landlords.

@Bryan Estrada broke isn’t in my vocabulary sweetie.

[@Deedeed33]

@Bryan Estrada I have my masters in chemistry. Unlike you I’m not in the rat race. The slavery System. I don’t work a 9-5. I bring in 5 figures a month. Soon to be seven figures a month. Such trash

[@Ultrameowmeow]

It’s the exact same in New York.. only outdoor dining isn’t nice at all. It’s a ghost town here. I had family visit from Florida and they were horrified to see how much NY has changed, and is dead

[@ViiewsPlus]

[@markbtv11]

Its a scamdemic. Fight for your life unless you want things to get even worse. Research the great reset on bitchute.

[@qmforever4052]

Nice moves Mike, love the bike with the lights. Your childlike spirit makes me smile.

[@shaun9901]

I went to Venice Beach for the first time this past July. hardly anyone around except the homeless folks. I'll have to go back in non-Covid times. There were a bunch of acapella singers sitting around. When the cops rode by on their bikes they'd break into, "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do..." It was funny, the cops loved it too.

[@micahhardman3183]

Those were the Homeless people singing...don't forget to Hate them since you have Money and a house.

[@shaun9901]

@@micahhardman3183 FU softman! There are plenty of comments hating on the homeless. Mine isnt one. My comment describes the positive experience I had.

[@joannemeeks745]

[@coffeecarsandmorewithdanny5749]

Absolutely fantastic! The lights on your scooter are great! I've never been to Venice...I WANT TO GO!!!

[@douglasmcneil6689]

I lived in Venice when I was a kid in 1966. I remember taking the old tram service up to P.O.P. Of course that's all gone now. But it is amazing. Even though things change, it seems that some things remain the same. Thanks for the blast from the past.

[@germaninvenice]

I would love to see the train

[@InPursuitofTruth-1]

@German in Venice Great video. Keep them coming. Your casual style, and the insights you share about life in Venice beach today, and your interaction with your friends and the people you meet along the way are very entertaining. Keep it up. I hung out in L.A. in 2000 for a couple of weeks right there in Venice Beach, and can't believe how much it has changed.

[@OGGOAT23]

Den Haag, Netherlands watching

[@dwood138]

I love Venice. Even through all the recent struggle it remains a beautiful place, one of the most beautiful in the world.

[@zoobrizz]

Wow. You need to travel more. Venice has been nasty for 20 years

[@gino.from.chicago]

I live in Chicago - I’ve always wanted to visit California! Thanks for this video - you just got a new subscriber! You’re really positive and seem really nice

[@frsantariga]

Not surprised Saw this coming years ago.

[@le_th_]

Sure you did....you were predicting a global, viral pandemic that is transmitted via aerosolized droplets from people's (and animal's) exhalations that would bring the world to it's knees much in the same way the pandemic of 1918 did. /end sarcasm You're so prescient.

[@sprkl5d]

I grew up on Venice Beach in the 60's. When they still had trams running up and down the main road in front of the beach. My brother and I would take the Tram down to the original POP and we'd walk around watching the Hippies for hours. We were only maybe 5 and 6 yrs old. Back then you could be outside alone wondering around from sun up to sun down and nothing bad would happen to you. We lived on Breeze avenue in a big old house. We were super poor and back then it wasn't rich people who lived on the beach. Venice didn't have all those little shops along the boardwalk back then like it does now. There wasn't a lot. Apts. A little market. And oil wells everywhere. We'd often get in trouble playing in the giant tar vats. It was a fun place to grow up.

[@twyla2575]

Yes, I remember all of that. My dad worked in a factory that made the Bubble ride on POP pier. Loved the electric trams! We lived in an apartment/garage an alley away from the Venice canals on Ocean Ave between Venice Blvd and Washington Blvd. Rode our bikes over the canal bridges and played in the empty lots that were everywhere.

[@spoonsoap]

so cool, thanks for sharing. love the history of Venice Beach in the old days.

[@smithjoshua258]

It would be so cool to run into this guy. His happiness is contagious. We need more people like him in the states.

[@ashfaulkner6142]

In the world. We fm Sydney watching his video

[@marygem]

Used to live in those apts and swam from santa monica pier down to venice after work, and walk back dripping wet..in the 60s.

[@benlogan100]

I miss Venice. We usually visit family there every year. Hadn’t heard the boardwalk had been hit so hard. Sad news. Great video. Thanks. Subscribed

[@gerilamb2714]

You are so funny, caring and likeable. Thanks for the laughs.

[@Tink4ou1]
