are in california right down the road just to jam. hi, this is dan. hi. the rent is to jam. hi the the, the the, the, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand rent controlled that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to is opposing that issue and trying to stop and trying to stop us. we also delivered over 732000 signatures to the governor of california, governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. how are they trying to stop you? so what they're 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 right control or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a job 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 the my name is gina. i am a small mom landlord and i always have a bit of an issue when they call me landlords. agreed. you don't hear our side of the story. i had a very little money, i have a mortgage homeowners insurance, and they wouldn't leave and,

and i couldn't even barely the last 4 years. i couldn't raise it $5.00, but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay. i had maintenance to cheaper and i just pay them dollars to move out. it's not there. where is our side of the protection? they should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of that? somebody take care of healthcare, complaint at the grocery store, complain that your medicine is. why is it just the landlord so most me landlords. i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because what that high when school with corporate driving the, the rates are 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 here 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 terminated 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 there never paid the rent. somehow. somehow, i feel like truman was running a sitting room again. my

name is joaquin mazda golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on us since 2006 and where do you live? right here in this truck? so why is it so white? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things when the economy just deteriorating is it is there's not a way for the wages to catch up to what the prices are for for rent a person just kind of get to it. maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area is going to be at least $1500.00 a month. and even with some help 1st for move in. and it's, it's a little bit, uh, it's a little, there's a little bit more to it than just, uh, you know, making a decision. uh, because the economy is it fits in the gates a lot of people's efforts the, i mean, yeah,

don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. and i got this no telling whines i get on through the disease like a 180 or like a year, and i just don't. it doesn't look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what cost of living out this month or subtract them. uh yeah. don't matter if you work or 40 arrow job arrow, week job. you know me if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories ideas of where i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years. and i have yet to get, and i've been on the list to get housing for like 3 years. i've got a crew, i've got a criminal background and i've got a very extensive criminal background look at 19. so it's almost like a new, i'm not trying to, i mean these probably there's not,

i can't use the fees. it brings up the 1st trying to get i'm trying to get funded get a job with metro. right? no, just doing the investment or thing that they got going around. i can't get my foot in the door for this shit the same life. tell me a girl. we don't. we don't hear from you might, you might be a. might be around town. no, no, you have a bigger one, but it says that we can use making a wireless but he said he was at the low. you go what do you do? full leaving? i'll do. i'm going to sound go to school. i go to lumpy city college for this study . i'm going for film and the screen writing. i'm trying to get a degree and screen writing and uh, the one to develop my own, my own screen place for production. i have good work. i went and award for my spring play in 22 for one screen play that i wrote in 2021 from penn america. i and

i'm kind of do something with the skills and talents that i have for screen writing . thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number for phone, an executive director of the shower full. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same as los angeles. and what we do is we take them to mobile, so it looks like you'll see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close to folks, so i experiencing homelessness. and we offer gent them shot was even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use of public or

shovel or let alone a bad throw. so fall on and so forth. so sleep on our streets, it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop to let them just let them use the bathroom. but when it comes to showers, 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 bug bad out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and, and that's so much be meant for our services. how does it to you? oh, it's good. it's always good to go. i got a hutch down. they have hot showers. yeah. yeah, it's always good to get a hot you own own lives. that my god, apply fresh shower t vs i'd be a good shower. the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups,

particular are huge. and these 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 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 the mcarthur park union district of los angeles. there's one the most under served communities in los angeles. i love immigrants are here. most of

them don't speak english. we have uh, tears you could 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 was happening is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here at 12 midnight. 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 going to find any, any fresh or uh, products done here. and they do serve as the people who serve it. and i'd say we're

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 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. so look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're so charters at conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to make a trust rather than to the job. i mean with artificial intelligence, we have somebody with theme and the robot most protects this phone existence was expensive. the,

the, the, the

most of the, as the mileage. but the most successful model to show you some of comes from do you think a very, somewhere in the village in new culberson you move from 2 to 34 to some of this. the little gods is in there,

but i see something here because i saw most of the summer define you must pick with as always stuff. i did the meals that the you know, the attend blue column. so kind of show. but as soon as i'm sure you, so you don't have the pressure level when of the homeless and then home is the we're i have a problem is only about $0.50 in my right. what i'm enjoy. holding of 6262, you've been homeless for a while. that's in you for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just people who like to go ahead and poke. you have to pay the pension deal. where am i

right here to help with on getting some really low version you the, the get 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 in the middle class is a fantasy because he doesn't exist. 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 ready to go through. what was the last? no. how can i do i i just leave my house.

no no, no no, i'm not here. the, the this where do i bring today's the bad day man. that he yeah. the

you enjoy. it won't affect 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? yeah,

yeah. hard. the higher able to see of the flight to afford a place here? not many people can with what to do. like if you are not able to afford your partner, like what to do in a 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 are working to 3 jobs and still not enough because the cost of living also has increased. let's say $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the

street apartment. yeah, they just, they just bills and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the dining affects everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that feeling in this thing. so, but why then does it work to be here? and 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 along so they can't. well, the next cannot relation apparently can live with 10 people in a, 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 said he's the se, se thing, but we showed them 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 her. why do you to text messages that you already exist in the shelter? thinking about this is why same one that we were there for people die room, so nearby job is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up was the bull since last week. um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um, what is the the, the non non warranty and not seeing anything. have you guys seem to be fine? and we, i want to see about time after 46 people that already passed the

internet and 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 it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she had with miss 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 in need of them line. they found her date space and 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 the 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. you can view it as soon as that as soon as i add some time, i'm so tired of move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine. but they're more and more people though there's none of the

co bags. and then they'll, by dividing, doesn't making better as the governor. so the level 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. i'm very, we see very little come either with that. you know, so this been a lot of money. you mean government government? yes. there's been a lot of money and the labor, very little rent has just really taken off the restrictions on how the rent has changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same. we sometimes want 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've made it so hard that 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 and, 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. he would have food, he 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

hey guys, come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like guys 1000000 a year. the sell a baby. sammy be looking for low, read our movies because people come out here for the dream says their 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 by $88000000.00 house to me. and i'm, i'm working on manifest man. i met of as women of as a right now already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address to me. that's what it weighs about. i mean, when you see that house,

as you'll see me and it is lend his house for me, welcome to let them know how they will let them know that welcome to welcome to dreamland for james. come through the, i mean no, 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 just shut down. and it's hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere and seeing and countless play not fail even just guilty. you know that you're walking into a supermarket and you can buy or food or you can do and you can live. you have a home, you know, the,

there's no kindness in any city or state in regards even in places that we deem liberal. you know, california is not very liberal about this, you know, they're not as compassionate as people think about the sense the subject looks good to go. now i look good. thank you sir. but you, people are always people good or for in the room. right. the all depends on the day how fit in going to bed in kenner, across the road to 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, they being taken away. so he's very difficult, i know people that have retire with a the cannot retirement checks that they getting cannot keep up with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights and, and yes, there are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody get 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 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. his policy is the

same as being said, you know, just to me, crane is the bus it. but in israel cause we did, the place to china is getting any person goes to the unit name me a phone, close. the challenge when things go based on the deadline that i think the bills name is the the because they already gosh, they see here cause they come to school. so i'd be that to and then use their email futures. great to offend into the rules. the non see theory of racial superiority, finished style for years of creating an ssl all the place and 14 concentration comes. so the full prisoner of war labor comes 10 prisons really well, you know,

simply doing the school level. she's going to be in your venue, so i'm assuming you need even the chest. maybe to get over the fields. i'm assuming people's going to be approximately 25000 people went through the kind of go to finish camps according to official figures. these move stuff, dudley level, it's a shift you to do and i give you an idea. i'm not sure it's just the snyder stuff. so the youngest, i me, i'm not sure what the fan and disease forced labor to which it by the warden. so for me as well as the also need you to continue the density variables given off with those who put in these 9 portion of the 6 of the give you what you want to do to create the thousands of customers of crimes and the impunity of criminals, nothing more when you've got here, you know, one or 2. so you to speak is not in the did i tell you? yeah, for the good i see it are released upon me. they decided to do that. so you can just do it. but this is danielle,

that was put in the middle of the suite. the nice the, what so striking for me is this contrast. but in california where some people are so resumed, other people are very well making, and that's a, that's a call cost of whole united states that there's worried about for, for, i don't know, 400 people that have all the more income than all of us together. you do think there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing oh it's growing. i don't know. they only want a handful of people.
