9:04 pm
what their, the, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative, i'm a valley which basically says that a top kits on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rank control or anything around the housing so they're hurting tenants, and also a chart cost clinics in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to show something non profit simply because they don't want rent control the. my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i, we have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of liter. you don't hear our side of the story. i have a very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance, and they wouldn't leave. and,
9:05 pm

9:06 pm
the range of the hard to keep up with it. so it's affecting them as well. but the fact of the matter is that the ones that are controlling and pushing pull the high range are the corporate land. unfortunately, the fix, the small businesses, the affect, the small landlords. so we're to let them know that, you know, if we bring rank control to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being stimulated by corporate landlords that wanna take their properties as well. the housing rates are going to keep going up, like if you go to a gas station and buy budweiser and the price goes up a dollar every day is because, like somebody steals too much budweiser from that store. you know, that's just the way that it goes, you know, and originally they've raised the price up of things in places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably the way rent is getting so high because half the people who live are never paid to rent. somehow. somehow. i feel like criminals are in the city. i really do
9:07 pm

9:11 pm
chavo, let alone a bad throw. so fall on a full sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let them use the bathroom. but when he comes to show us a lot of, i guess if it wasn't for us only have access to shot was maybe once a month for a lot of folks. it's going into a bathroom at a place like a coffee shop and taking a buzz back out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much the man for our services. how does it to you? well it's good, it's always good to have your the hutch down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah. it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless that my god apply for a shower to yes, i'd be a good shower. the difference that is economic differences
9:12 pm
between groups, race groups, particular are huge and he starts on the very beginning, their lack of, uh, being able to have a good education. let's talk about, let's say, for example, food and security is, is lack of access to healthy, put, lack of access to food. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy food. they just don't. so you see those, this bear with me right? there that any quality whereas you go to well do, neighborhood, or neighborhoods of, of, of white folks. you'll see that they are, they have better jobs, better paying their more resources. so yes, a racism is a place that very important part on the economic status. whether you're going to end up homeless on the street or not, this is known as that mcarthur park union district of los angeles. there's one the most underserved communities in los angeles,
9:13 pm
atlanta immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have uh here and you can see a lot of seniors and we have people that struggle to put in the table. and people have very little resources. most of them actually one for, for several blocks here to, to come to the band 3. and a lot of them are very fragile, they elderly. so this is a 9 o'clock we what we have done is we set up an appointment system so people can actually sign up and, and have an appointment instead of them being in line for hours. what's happening is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here at 12 mean like i literally spend the night here waiting for us to open. so we decided to do an appointment system. today we're going to be providing groceries for $400.00 people. these are fresh vegetables. they were picked yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any, any fresh or uh, products done here. and they do serve it the people who serve it. and i say we're
9:14 pm
very excited about being able to, to serve the community. what we do here is we set it up like farmers market style. so people are able to come in here and actually pick what they like to take instead of us giving you a bag of food the most likely you're not going to like we allowed them to make several choices here and take food that they love to cook the, [000:00:00;00]
9:15 pm
the, a homeless, his home is a rear hubbard. 8. the problem is only about $0.50 a month. right. for them enjoy old a 62. 62. you been homeless for a while. continue for many years, say, 10 years. so i'm going to write, so i can poke, you have to pray that hey, fish a deal. where am i right here? the getting some really low version you
9:16 pm
the, the got continues to grow. you know, we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's the early, the early part of the century here, where we saw an attack against the middle class. there is the more middle class, either you'll have what you don't have. so to say that you're in the middle class is a fantasy because these are things that we have people coming to our food banks that have jobs and some of them have good jobs, but they can not make ends meet the fuel. cause we're right now. we'll go through it. one is the last. no. how can i do i have i just leave my hands
9:17 pm
on the next bill. so can you stand at the home for no time on the 1st time this of this where the days got a bad day. all right man, that he yeah the
9:18 pm
you enjoy it. i want to can you hold on a 2nd the right you enjoy that. thank you so much lady. do leave here. i do. i do. this is not heroine. that's a i went to a doctor this morning. why did you come from effect? you work with interior design or the was it worth coming here? hard. the higher able to see of the flight to afford
9:19 pm
a place here. not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to afford to coordinate with like what to do in the city and you're looking at it. yeah, i mean, possibly people could die on the beach. people get sick, they get diseases and mental illness insecurity. the numbers are staggering. we have approximately 10000000 people in california that are risk of becoming on house. and part of the reason is because the rates are just very high. people struggle to make ends meet some people working to 3 jobs and still not enough because of the cost of living also has increase. for their think. $3500.00 the one bedroom. it was way across the street. the apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom,
9:20 pm
the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the diner takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up. we, they have people like that building these things up. but why then there's a voice to be here. if you're not able to afford the leaving the right, there's this, the people, they can't co habits, he can't get a long so they can't. well, the next coming up relation apparently can live with 10 people into an apartment in california. and people have to live with a lot of people. so there's a lot of problems familiar, sexual assault on the finger problems. so they said it's a, he's the se, se thing,
9:21 pm
but we showed him physical evidence of him doing that. i even have a text message from me and my roommate talking, speaking about how he threatened her life. i gave patch the text messages. i gave the body to text messages in the shelves. are you thinking about this? well, that was the right thing. one of the houses where they are 4 people die room, so nearby job is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up with the boss last week um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um what is that the, the not, not. okay. not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to see this about time after one for 6. people didn't already know they weren't in on. yeah, yeah. i know, i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even try to sit in see nothing about
9:22 pm
it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she have when missed and then they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as you folks come back and nobody knew where she was. and later down the line, they found her gay face and you're not too far from the shelter. so how you didn't they don't care about where about nothing. all the program i'm gonna have programming job sorts of less as little bit like service today. and that way, so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent, up in the 30 a month. what is your, your income, you as soon as that, as soon as i have time to try to move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine pratt. and then more and more people become seamless though they see none of the co bags. and then they'll buy,
9:23 pm
it doesn't make me better as the governor. so the landlord to lower the rent. we know that the numbers are high and there's a lot of money that comes in. but the money is blown away and varies. we see very little come out over that, you know, so they spend a lot of money and even government government. yes. they spend a lot of money on the labor very little rent has just really taken off the, the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same with sometimes what you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you, you know, these, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they made it so hard that
9:24 pm
a person with a pretty well paying job couldn't, couldn't rent here. and there was a time, i mean, it was a while ago, 253 years ago. you could be a starving artist here in and have a pretty fun life. it wasn't. maybe you wouldn't have a big savings account, but you'd have a safe place to live. here's how food you would have a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people is 40 hours a week, jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're talking single people. i can't imagine having a family what that would entail. so it wasn't always this unapproachable to live here was actually quite the opposite for a long time, the guys come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like
9:25 pm
guys 1000000 a year. the sell a baby for me. you're looking for low read our movies because people come out here fall a dream says the dream. i would say i am rich for me. i'm. i'm, i'm on my way to be rich next year. i'm a buy a $1000000.00 house to me. and i'm, i'm working on manifest man. i made it as a limit of as of right now already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address. i mean, that's what it weighs about. i mean, when you see the houses, you'll see me and it is lend his house for me. welcome to welcome to hollywood. welcome to welcome to welcome to dreamland for james,
9:26 pm
come through the . i know, honestly it's probably hard to live over. it is hard, it's hard to drive down the street and see this. and i think people are either going to be propelled, to have empathy and do something or possibly inches shut down. it's. it's hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and cnn can't play not fail even just guilty. you know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buy your food or you can do it and you can live. you have a home, you know, the, there's no kindness in any city or say, in regards even in places that we deem liberal. you know,
9:27 pm
california is not very liberal about this. you know, they're not as compassionate as people think about the sense the subject looks good and then for the now i would think so, but the people i always people good or spend that much room right. so it depends on the day how it is going to look bad on kenner. wanted to do a dinner isn't center we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is, is that the safety nets that existed,
9:28 pm
they being taken away. so he's very difficult. i know people that have retire with the kind of retirement checks that they're getting cannot keep up with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights and, and yes they are. certain programs are available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody, it's, this is why people i sold these harden and they have no faith in the government because the government has stopped working for the people. the amount of people that are more discussed that with politicians and politics and political parties, has grown in huge numbers. people just don't trust what they say. they say a lot, but the labor very little or nothing.
9:29 pm
the a j. k is off the gaining independence and from the form of the ivory coast remained under the strong influence of its foam and metropolitan. pro french president, felix, who said one year, ruled the country for 33 years, ensuring the interest to from the dead. the gun on feeding isn't in the trunk. then there's also including the foster ladies chestnut goods was done. those who saw him a lot more appropriate after the death of, of a one year, a new lead to bill. i'll go back to the ball, came to power. reset the drum right double for example. yeah. curious to know for, for the process or the was it isn't good enough for me to one is for the one the bronze immediately dean. good luck. boeing. enemy, a deep political crisis ensued and walk a the country 2nd largest city, turned into
