fit to serve as president, it does not happen that fast without there being a coordinated effort. and that's absolutely what's happened here. always great to having with us here, and i'll see international will be back with trends table of the very latest these stories in just 13 minutes. we'll see you then the, i mean everyone's chasing the same dream. everyone's doing the same thing,

having to get a job, making it rich major, having money, that was the most popular person in the world. no body the world doing the same damn thing. it's like watching the high school all over again . i believe it create an awareness about homeless because if we don't pay attention to it, it's gonna overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from? seriously, where it we're, we're ready is what? 70000000000 or something like that. missing in money are democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things. and when you should be worrying about the

bigger problems of the right in front of our faces, instead of turning a blind eye to love was somewhere around 80000 people that are on house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there's some people that are living or a cars or some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room, whatever day people are allowed, you know, friends, we allow them to come in and, and have a roof over their heads on a temporary basis. but then you also have people that live on the streets, sharing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the counting hominy on house before leaving on the streets. so we don't have that the exact numbers yet, but it's going to be high. the numbers have increased from last year,

even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told to the point that the numbers chairs last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california. right. is the rent is to get my rent is damn high. the rent is too damn time. oh the the, the, the, the rent, the on 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 supposed this and try to stop

a been 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 tell people? so what they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm a valley which basically says that it's a top kiss 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 age are 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 to bring to the my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i always have

a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of liter. you don't here are side of the story. i had a very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely last 4 years. i couldn't raise at $5.00, but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to keep up, and i had to pay them. dollars to move out is 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 took care of healthcare. complaint at the grocery store complained that your medicine is, why is it just the landlord the

some uh small landlords. i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units there for you as well, because with that high, when school, with corporate driving the, the rates up 6 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 rates are the corporate landlord. unfortunately, the fix the small business as the effect, the small landlords. so we're here to let them know that, you know, if we bring rent controlled to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being stimulated by corporate landlords that want to 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 criminal is running a city. i really do me. my name is joaquin mother golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and i've 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. i mean 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 mean. yeah. don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. seriously, 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 for subtract them. uh yeah. no 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 on them, so weird. i've been out here in california and hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years, and i have yet to get it. and i've been on the list to get housing for like 3 years

. i've got a criminal, i have got a criminal background and i've got a very expensive 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 get any decent things. uh, tell him that there's trying to get, i'm trying to get funded, get a job with metro right now. 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 is tell me a girl. we don't we don't hear from me. you might, you might be a, might be around town. no, no, you have a bigger one, but it says that we can just make them aware of that. 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, said college for this study. i'm going for film hands

a 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, a one and award for my spring play. in 22 for one screen play that i wrote in 2021 from penn america. and i'm trying to 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 in los angeles. and what we do is we take things 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 default to white experiencing homelessness. and we offer jet them shot was even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use a public 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 like 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 have your hutch down. they have hot showers. okay. yeah, it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless. i am

a god to apply for a shower to you. yes, i'd be a good shower. the differences, economic differences 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 in security is, is lack of access to healthy, put lack of access to flu. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to help the flu. 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,

a 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 underserved communities in los angeles, atlanta immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have uh here 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 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 would pick yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any, any fresh or uh, products done here. and they do serve 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 the . he was homeless. his home is a weird. i have a problem is only about $0.50 a month,

right. what am enjoy? holding for 6262 and you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so obviously you feel like for example, you have to pay the pension deal. where am i right here to help with only getting some really low version you the, the gap 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 the that they 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 right now. we'll go through what was the last? no. how can i do i have i just leave my hands. chargeable to. no. yeah. can you see i don't, i'm not, i'm not here. tom this or this where at the age or

a bad day. man that he yeah. the i, 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? yeah, yeah. hard. i are able to see all the flight to afford a place here. not many people can do what to do. like if you are not able to afford your partner, 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 are working to 3 jobs and still not enough because of the cost of leaving also has increased 40 percent. $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up for a one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the data takes everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up with. they have people like that feeling in these things. but why then does it work to be, sir? 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, but we show 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 the body to text messages that you already exist in the shelves. are you thinking about this? well that was the right thing. one of the houses where they are for people die room . so nearby job is the same way we met them there. they're still there. what do you

know possible since last week? um um and gave kelly. i think her name the day or the give her um what is the the, the not now in regards to to be fine. we, i want to see this about time after one or 6 people that already, you know, they lower it 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 it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she have with miss and then they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as she spoke to somebody. 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 uh where about nothing. all the program i'm gonna have programming job sort of less as little bit like search today. not quite. so let's

say do 1520 percent of what your income is that you rent up in the 30 a month your income you or is that as i had some time to try to move out most people in my apartment, i do a met in pratt and then more and more people become stainless, though they see none of the co bags and then they'll buy, 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. you mean government government? yes. does spend a lot of money and the labor very little rent has just really taken off 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 do, 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 a person with a pretty well paying job couldn't coming right here. and there was a time, i mean, i 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 would have a safe place to live. you would have food. you would have a car for 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 taking 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, guys 1000000 a year. the very fair me be looking for low read our movies because people come out here for

a 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 buy a $1000000.00 house to me. and i'm, i'm working on manifest man. i met of as women, if is the right know 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 let them know how they will let them know that welcome to welcome to dreamland for dreams. come true, 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 inches shut down. and it's hard,

hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and seeing and countless play, not feel 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 say, in regards even in places that we deem liberal, you know, california is not very liberal about this. now they're not as compassionate as people think about the sense the subject looks good and then now i look good. thank you sir. but you people are always people good or for not like the room. right? the all depends on the day care

so they fit in going to bed in kenner. wanted to do a dinner, isn't the dinner 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 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 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 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 the and as oh yeah for like well yeah, which aspect to the side of the way and if it upset american you got it made up of the quarter that got them on board for some reason it's related to the for the, i'm assuming that the, the, the,

the, in the able to spell it was a big oh, the way to stay and what awesome what, what's the zip code the, i mean it's in the system. i go out and order them. israel that is supposed to light. yeah. so i'm going to be yes sir. can you hear contributed by the way? no, i'm not going to think i'm going to be able to pull up in a minute. that's what i mean. what is the the where you live? show children across publishing, progressing with boy of you up any good of today to initial another ticket that i would even the

show when i tried the lines on most go within the informing us the new ranger mode is set to arrive in the russian campus . a long, long day the lady was looking for boots, his country is already flourishing, ties with most of the guides. also ahead. the b solution continues and even strengthened us to ask you a pro war petition to fasten their seat belts now and pay close attention next week . and that's the message from the hung, gary and foreign minister and made them out prime on west and officials over the hung gary and premier's talk. so it's not going to have food in on ukraine using harry would consider that we belong to them at a wealth also belongs to them. these areas gone forever. our resources will remain for us in our populations. never came to be the say the west will exploit the after

.
