housing for awhile, like around 17 years and um, how, from whole personal care and uh, salvation army, they got together and they got me a room for a year. so you know, which is pretty good because you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much and still like be pushy. i had a, i had major surgery on my legs. come on this thing, but i also have a disease and my legs for my blood cells and my most will switch. and my skin has a hard time sticking to our legs. so they put these on there to hold a bag, which is the big one right here. because you don't want to kill them so many times . so i was flying around here this, in other words, you know, that really is like, i don't know, that's what a lot of slot most people are homeless then. then the houses are less in california, on the telephone's working for new york on your own. so you can see it for work. so i can fax cuz my girls tend to take the little overdose all set overdose and have

to come back in a great home. so you don't pay, you know, a lot of people die enough enough. don't even know what the fuck is. it's all just crazy. a lot of my friends home boys in a little girls that are there for an ocean and not joe is. well, that's good. we can handle it in real systems again as well. you know, then i'd strongly mind it and if you want to be realistic, realistic about the problem regarding it where the problem really liked. and that's where the drugs, the drugs is where the problems lies. and legalize the that met this, like i said, nothing better, nice and other drugs to a misdemeanor. what good did that do is to just help them to be able to do more drugs easier because the fear before it was a fear of a felony going to jail, do it for his it's i time or whatever the case may be. now is just

a ticket. that's it. you catch him sitting on the side of the street endangering children's wise like smoking is crap. all in the open, the can you give them a ticket and you walk away what? how is that change it any that he just goes, gets more and just does it again. it's like we don't care or respect the human of the human race. but when we made a clause in the side, it all there only a misdemeanor. now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry to hear you say you're from london. yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. and what's the name of it? it's yeah. nice to meet with. and what do you think about that today says here, and what's the weather? so definitely notice there's a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. well, i didn't exist it to the level of did i know it's very high?

i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is you know, quite trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row was i don't know much about it. i've heard so many people say they're going to bring it into a good role and help the people there. that's been there since the 1960. we're in 2014 or, i mean, we run around other countries. like in your country, do you need some help to you'd still grow and they'll help you. yeah. i know you bought some money and do a bunch of stuff to help your people get better. yeah. i mean, we look into and then you guys come over here as well, or tortured everything. perfect because me being away so much of that. so why i've seen it all over the past 20 on 29. now the obviously grew up watching american television, all of that stuff. what we see on screen here is like, oh, sorry from that is more like a perfect image. everything we still got in depth and searching stuff up and seeing

what was actually going on for the different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here and much more neglect. it's been over that then. and i'll just see i've been every single state who i speak to some years and over the last some years i've watched as what used to be a partial problem of families here. and there. now it is because it's such a big problem. ringback so we're kind of the, uh, you know, the heart of skid row, we're on 5th then. well, so on the north side, that's a mission. they have room for our own 600 people party to families. you know, you don't see it, but there are a lot of children on skid row. they try to keep them inside. know we have multiple themes from homeless, hold guard to the community health project, doing valuable work, going around distributing narcanon fentanyl districts,

because that is a significant number of overdose. has that happened daily, you know, schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually see, it goes for, for the full blocks. quote. and the funny thing is right, the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there, i saw a 2 huge arguing amongst each other. one shoots the dude over the dog and watch the way in the bodies laid out there until 10 o'clock the next day. why? i don't know, and there's a police station right across the street. and this was, that was right in front of the midnight shelter. after i saw that i, i just left, i decided not to be down there to. there are a lot of people who are struggling with mental health issues on schedule. part of that is because, um, you know, whole mess of spite sophie so much trauma on people's site. keep that you,

you know, regular people just be on the street, ended up with a mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and a big part of it is having really no support for people with mental illness. so the way the hospital system works, after the initial days, the state doesn't pay for the care of patients. so what the hospitals do is they medicaid them and they dropped them off on skid row. that was a hospital vegas that was caught dumping 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row. 500 in sacramento, and 500 in ad tucson, arizona. most of the time when i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here, just people watching is like watching the television. oh is. will good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos and he's in 8th or hold it in words. it almost looks like

walking zombies from the movies. like it's going to pop up in the i don't know, but now, but being on the real to barnett, it's bet no it attacks the muscles were the, it basically start filling up with water. it also attacks the strength and in their body, where they can keep steak a straight body up. so they're basically fold it in half. have a slip, right? no real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days past the point of delirium. i'm now as a point of just totals exhausting and frustration of to i can't get a hold of my family holidays 4 years old and i looked like them probably 60 because of what the streets of done is i. it's tiring. oh,

so tired. i tried to go to the hospital cuz i got the stores when my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is that, you know, i don't, i don't use anything with eagles or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with this, you know, it's, and it's only selected people there. they're destroying me, little bits at a time. grant read through the silver in the military. i was with the marine corps, specifically more saw a little bit in libya, smaller. you have the people in small entry each other veterans and we treat each other. i here on the street, sally, this is the most restaurant group of people i've ever met in my life. and i wish that there was a button. you can push it, it would exterminate all divides, all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped in the only way. and when i

tried to get the guy off of her, i was attacked by his home boys. they broke for my ridge. uh they split my lip open, i mean like they supposed to be a pretty good excuse my language. the so sensor bare is just children with the little uh like, uh, maybe a furnace kind of thing. is movie smoking, like smoking of it don't need to be afraid and cho yates. so i'm fairly see in your lives because this person, this person in light says and now you're going to go and do that just because he's your friend and you want to be accepted. recognize, seems for low understood is all the really everybody wants. it's just,

sometimes some people go buy a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody isn't as intuitive or salvage, that everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't, we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of hating them for what they're doing, actually notice and then maybe it might be a different story. is kind of cute, being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where to go. sleep. watch it . you know you to walk into a town. you don't know where to spot is. don't know where you could pop it up to be safe. still not to serve his place in word world, it's made of cloth. easy, nice could cut through it. but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl is. she's the ones that type of word that

because i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm not violent. i don't like being, i don't like violence. but this was the question, is she, she has a couple of what they call uh, she calls retreat. kirby don sticks where she's not afraid to come out of the tent and bash it. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home is where i live every single night. the the

the, the, what happened on october. the 2nd was a deal breaker for it was the slaves revolting against the master. when slaves revolt against the legitimate masters, that is not going to be peaceful and it is going to be violent terrorist here, and that will take care, right. and there is, there is, there, there, and just surrounding the entire area of the party became ready for us. you know, they knew we're gonna scatter like ship terrible tragedy in total revenge. because okay, so i am, i know who the me to come off the, the on off know,

especially the play shall be the good this of being prevented. but it seems to be that we don't want, it needs to be what he wants to do. peoples of the land to leave in peace in post spanish. is it possible to have peace in this region ever again? on the maybe we could do a legal interview is oh my god,

let's say the call we're right here. right? so you do their leave here. i am grateful for me. look here. see me in the right. you have places like there's only exist. can you imagine where you will be at least like this? well, you know, this is some of the attendance and the struggle that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle and he gets very real. especially when you have family children, you know, can you imagine, you know, what do you go if you cannot afford you ran and you have children. i mean, my heart goes out to moms like her that, that i see her daughter, she's going to school down the street. and i need some beautiful sight to see that

. and, and we have, uh, we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire that little child that is smart, right, beautiful, biggest smile. so she brings a big smile to our own faces. you know, i just put them doing well. but without affordable housing, you know, many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when age of, of bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the rings kind of just that. so it would be more affordable, but uh they have certain amount of units that are specifically for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and place them. if we have any openings, you know that you may go to whoever it may be applying, but applications come really fast and, and the fills up fast. we have other buildings that we just bought. and as soon as

they fix them, you fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this, the city that we can actually provide housing a much cheaper than what the, the city is doing. the city spends a lot of money and deliver very few apartment units. some of the units can start as low as a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount for what we offer here. you pay close to $2000.00 for the with the bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half a month. the other thing is martha was gonna lose her subsidized income through the program she was in and she wouldn't have been able to afford the rent,

but they were gonna put her in another one of our buildings. and she loved it here so much. we ended up just trying to advocate for her when she was able to stay and then we lowered her, her rent down now. so she could stay ready to go. yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean, some of those buildings are left to empty. you may have, so we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who were on our streets and but that's why there's always talk. it says city is having attacks for having empty spaces, so then they would be more incentivized to to accept section 8 or take a family in or not look for their ideal candidate. but real estate, i think, is just become this huge way to invest and they're not

thinking about housing, people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the, you know, you get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and, and we've just been this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore. the wiley for this month. yeah, use volleyball games. i love the seat, so my dream is to one day have a place in my own with my husband and be either running around coram, or working at one brian aquarium. yeah. and studying the see guys, you know c creatures and taking care of. um, i love to see as much as i loved outs, which creatures would be the gross annual within your inquiry and they are on their

dolphins. and any day they have a spot for the crabs and the clams and the, the oysters, you know, just be those. you actually can raise them. and they can give you pearls, clams, and oysters. they can give you pearls, if you have enough sand at the bottom, the, the, the, i'm much more happy with that because then i don't get to, to worry about, i got zeros dressers, how about you? you as a human, be the how many suppressors do you have?

i don't have a list for me as me. i got, no, i've had that exactly where i need to be free from all the lies that everybody cast around likes, parity and then decide you know, why don't we because you're not so dark, you're ok, or more we do with the little more dress nicer. you're all right, judge bear to vote how people should look drugs at it all those aspects. it's going for different forms of braces like my dad, he always say keep it simple, stupid. i have one son. whether that's totally different story is that one, i don't know the, another thing to add with homelessness in california. um one of the things and again across the board in the us as well. one of the biggest reasons we have this

issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children exhibiting the foster care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life way. when they exit after they turn 21, they basically have very little access to services. but unfortunately, because of foster care system is so broken. and because these kids are going through so much trauma, by the time they hit our streets desktop for him, for mental illness, they might be suffering from a diction or they might be. or they might be putting situations right, forces them into, into in conservation which i'll do monthly means that they end up homeless late aim like your income match, the cost of living back in my time, but it doesn't match anymore. in fact, i've heard that in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on there, the minimum, but you can get, which is like, i say, a $22.00 to $25000.00

a year. but in, in america there's no cap on how much you could make or how little you can get, because you can get nothing or the sky's the limit. they're talking about slash and social security and slash and different things. i don't know why. we don't get enough as it is, you know what i'm saying. you were all your life and then you want to retire. but you can't really retire because uh, i might end up homeless eventually if, if there was, if the rent keeps going up, then you know, i may eventually get homeless my own so which i worry about, you know, we, so richter, profit from all this corporations during the pandemic on ebay. now, rick of prophets. we have more billing. there is now the never before. and yet we have more people who are living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. corporations control and these no secret building there's control, you know,

bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, the 1st thing that is going to be thought about is not the, the, the working class or the people is how it's going to affect feelings. and during the, by the, in us, in put in us against each other. you know, the republican said that democrats are the enemy, the democrats said the republicans are the enemy at the end of the day, the real enemy is the people that are seen power. you know, and we have a whole bunch of followers that don't see how they have sold us out. it would be a good starter one. so it's not that bad, but it's too small. it would be a good start or would you rather stay in a car by vehicle? yes. rather than. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive while you have to learn about the drive. yeah. i don't have my license yet. i've never driven

a car in my life. so it's also called spraying dream, which is square change to words put together. you basically make a sign, you fly walking down either a median or you sit on a street corner and hope to make money. one way of like the most successful day, i made a 100 bucks on his corner. sure . yeah, i'd be really, there's a villain, ization of people who are in house and their neighbors are instead of helping them, they are looking at them as a problem in very dehumanizing way. and i think if they would just embrace them as their neighbors,

because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with he'll have to leave you those side for a while like um, bein underneath the bridge and hearing the car. it's susan. you can waste a lot of energy and time thinking about negative things and not being pause while you're sitting there. you know, a lot of time being negative about it, you're missing out in the opportunities that should be there for you while it's happening. like i said, the worst critics will be yourself, make things harder than what it should be. it's not that it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry. we're good.

oh, pressure for the payment. it's me. i want you to give you detail out of here before i end up having to hurt myself or hurt somebody else or get hurt myself. really bad. who's coming to that? i got an attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and had my bike showing it's all by the same people using them crazy. everybody else things crazy. but i know it's for a fact, it's not oh

the the, what is part of the, the employee would post that isn't the defense you of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present during that stop without collision is that stuff out of as the

the

the as the mileage and almost a shift model to show booster must come the take over the summer. and you know, it's a new and go over some new from which some of this the little got is a name. and then for us do something on this on most of the items to some of the things you must pick with the stuff i did. the meals that the, you know, the agenda, blue column, so kind of showing right here. so let me show you so you don't have to 100, you're dealing with her to level

the the, the what happened on october. the 2nd was a jail breakout for it was the slaves revolting against the master. of course, when slaves revealed against illegitimate masters, that is not going to be peaceful and it is going to be violent terrorist here and that will take them right and is there is there, there in just surrounding the entire area of the party became ready for the cadillac.
