i mean, everyone's chasing the same dream. everyone's doing the same thing, having to get a job, making it rich, major savvy money, that, that, 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 in creating 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 we're, it, we're, we're, we're ready is what 70000000000 or something like that. missing money are

democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things and what you should be worried about, the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind item, the love to you somewhere around $80000.00 people that are an house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there are some people that are leaving or cars or some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room wherever they people are allowed. you know, friends, me 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, shearing, los angeles, right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless out being done right now. the counting. how many on house before living

on the streets. so we don't have that the exact numbers yet, but he's going to be high. the numbers have increase from last year, even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told. to the point that the numbers chance last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california right is the rent is due to the rent is damn high, the rent is too damn time the the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it initiative on the ballot to expand control that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment

association is trying to its opposing this and trying to stop in trying to stop us . we also delivered over $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california. governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. are they trying to stop you? so what they're the, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put an initiative on the valley, which basically says that a top kiss on the same cannot put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rent controls or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants, and also a junk cars clinics in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip into something non profit simply because they don't want to bring the shop. my name is

gina. i am a small mom landlord and i have a bit of an issue when they're call me landlords of lead. you don't here are side of the story. i have a very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely raise the rent what 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 keep up. and i just paid them. wow, wow, sense of 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? somebody take care of health care complaint at the grocery store complained that your medicine is, why is it just the landlord by me,

landlord. so i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units they're worried as well because with 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 landlord. unfortunately, the fix, the small businesses, the affect, the small landlords. so we're 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. don't 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, or, you know,

that's just the way that it goes, you know, and originally they raise a price up of things and places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably why the rent is getting so high because half the people who live there never pay the rent. somehow. somehow i feel like criminals run the city. i really do. my name's walk in mother the golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on . since 2006. and where do you live? right here in this truck. so why is it so weight? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things. what the economy just deteriorating is it, is there's not a way for the way just to catch up to what the prices are for, for rent a person is trying to get to. and 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 a bit 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. serious and i got this. no telling one jacket on the through the disease like a 180. 0 much a year and i just on does it look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what the cost of living out this month for some kind of deal. yeah. no matter if your worker 40 our job hourly job. you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these, these things are there is a way of so 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 then i've got a very extensive criminal background look at 19. so is i'm gonna record it. i'm not trying to mean these for you. there's not i can't get any decent things up. so i'm just 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 premier grove, we don't, we don't really know. do you mind? do you mind the might be around, you know, like a bigger one like says, i think he's making a wireless but he said he was at the low . you go what do you do full leaving?

oh, do. i'm going to go to school. i go to long beach city college for this study. i'm going for film and the spring right, and i'm trying to get a degree in screen writing and uh, the one to develop my own, my own screen place for production. i have good work, a wondering 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 spring writing about who thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number, co founder and executive director of the shower of hole. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless, those same los angeles. and what we do as we take these mobile. so it looks like

you see over here, the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close to full to white, experiencing homeless us, and we offer them showers even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when he comes for you to use a public, chavo lelona that through so fall off the full, so sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let use the bad throw. but when he comes to show us a lot of, i guess, different one for us only have access to shot was maybe once a month for a lot of faults. 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 now, does it to you? oh, it's good. it's always good to go. i got a hutch down the half hours. okay. yeah, it's always good to get

a hot challenge homeless that my god to apply for a shower to yes, i did get a break shower the differences. it could not make 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, put 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 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 have better jobs,

better paying, there 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 under served communities in los angeles. i love the immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have here is you can see a lot of vineyards and we have people that struggle to put, 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 on here. and they do serve with 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 styles. so people are able to come here and actually pick what they like to to take instead of 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 release of come to the russian states never as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best ingles, all sense enough. the assistance of the keys on these

25 must be the one else calls question about this. even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the rush of funding and split from ortiz, full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for the question, did you say even closer to the we are, which are ours to make, you know, i'm not going to you care about me. if you care about the play. i wish somebody

could just tell me why this is their hair patriot lynching beating poverty. why supremacy is so disgusting. amber, the people of mississippi voted on a wire, and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the car and for our purposes to defend the name of the confederates. so, because of these monuments that you see are required or not, they're not monuments to the considered government or monuments to the, to the soldiers, to the batteries. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. the homeless for them is home is we're, i have a problem. is there any of about $0.50?

i'm right for them enjoy holding for $6262.00. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'll just do like for example, you have to pay the finch deal. where am i right here to help with on getting some really low versus 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're in the middle classes of fantasy because he doesn't exist. we have people coming to our food banks to have jobs, and some of them have good jobs,

but they can not make ends meet the foreclosure. we're right now. we'll go through the ones the last. i know how can i do i, i just leave my hands on the next bill. yeah. can you see on the on put it on time on the 1st time this this where do birthdays are a bad day? all right, man. yeah. he yeah. the the

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? yeah, yeah. pard, i are able to see off the flight to afford a place here. not many people can wear it to what to do. like if you're not able to afford your partner, like what they're doing, they succeed. 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 40. i think $3500.00. the one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom, the $13500.00, that's what we have to deal with. so the dining sites, 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 there's a voice 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 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's a, he se, 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 him is do you think the shelves are you thinking about this? well, that is the right thing. one of the houses were there for people die room, so nearby. john is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up with the pool 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 okay. not seeing anything. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to see this about time after work for 6 people then already know they learned 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 native them line. they found her 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 is a little bit like service today and that way. so let's say due date,

20 percent of what your income is that by your rent up in the 30 a month, you can view it as soon as that stipulated. as soon as i have time, i'm so tired of move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine crack. are they? more and more people become seamless though they see none of the coal bags, and then they'll buy your bite and doesn't make you 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 reason 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 all the restrictions on how to rent have 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, there's, 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 coming right 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. you'd have 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 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. tell me you're looking for low read our movies . because people come out here. father, i dream says their dreams. obviously,

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 of as a right now already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address go mean. 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 welcome to hollywood. welcome to have a 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 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 say 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. that's good. now i look good. thank you sir. but you, people are always people good or for not like the room. right? all depends on the day how it

is going to look bad in kenner, across the road to 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, they being taken away. so it'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, 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 liver very little or nothing. the a beautiful sun soaked to the vineyards nestled among some breathtaking, rolling hills. as a gentle breeze comes off of the surrounding sea comic the imagery of french one country. but this is not france. we are in a coupon at russia on the black sea, where recently they've got a serious about making some world class one. the
