business improvement district color suburban shirts had this woman twisted her home up in the air and it was about to break the woman on so i say what are you doing man this is little woman cohen goes you crazy because like a shot a picture got by i say so you will break your leg when she got a pipe and i am so the lady was dramatic i know my back i don't know why because i don't use eyeliner right so she tried to run a few mobile up for him to learn to go a simulator go so they let it go if you open up her hand it was a guy like her so i told myself when i was a horse in medicine that we don't know but it's perfect i'm still a general so i tell myself i got to go get me some soldiers while i'm you know walking around able to talk to one of my friends and he told me mayo you need to go to l.a. can they do that kind of stuff. and so from him witnessing an injustice a day later he's. gone through leadership development classes and now three years later he's our lead human rights we're going to answer my job is to is to keep

trying to wake up the messes you know and keep you know exploited you know standing with the system is doing. it right now my personal hero and i think all of us will stay on the toast of time general. and the reason i admire him so much as the reason i admire so many people. he's really somebody who grew up around here and i'm now scrums are always energy basic where we try to have the from the rights of other folks to their. general did nine years in the state pinch six of those nine years with in solitary. is the individual that if you listen to the policymakers if you listen to people with money and power there's no rehabilitating. you know he's a career criminal. i guess you would have said the same thing about malcolm. x. he was a career criminal and now he's on a postage stamp. basically. a

smile. came from always going to really help me. get up and go do what i do every day you know when i go to work for. me. as first responders to emergency calls the skid row. the city made a policy that skid row would be a contained preserved area much like an indian reservation. on washington one it would be contained literally. for.

one of the other important things to understand. is that it's not primarily a homeless population and people tend to think it that's really critical people understand that because if you think it's primarily a homeless population that's one set of issues with one set of solutions then you build large shelters and if you do it the way some people at city hall would like it. is principally. endangered low income residential community in the fifty blocks of skid row there are sixty five what we call single room occupancy housing without this housing people in the area would have nowhere to go who in the private or the public sector builds housing for a single adult whose total income is a two hundred twenty three dollars generally check. the majority of people has to really go and sort of start social security argy all their stories and we call this

community a whole we don't just what we can afford. you know we have to really really really mean the agency moratoriums that stopped the conversion of lower income housing units into condos in los. we lost a thousand units and about three or four year period from about two thousand to two thousand and four. it took the city a long time to respond with a moratorium on losing that housing. which new people who come in and they have higher income. economically the older people were forced to leave. you know all these up towners who want to come and have their sort of disneyland manhattan experience they have other options to other communities they can go to but the poor skid row really have no other housing anywhere at all almost anyone would say to you've got to be crazy why would you save skid row what is the

possible value of saving a skid row if you think about it if thousands of people on main street lose their house and that's thousands of people for whom the city will have to build a massive and costly shelter system and makes far more sense to preserve the housing the poor live band and let the poor continue to pay their own brand so makes good economic sense not just good social and moral sense for the city to in fact preserve the housing that's in the skid row area. there are a lot of empty lost in the area the city could convert that into housing. twenty four thousand dollars a year to have someone. supportive housing and housing with the services that help them stay in that house i thought maybe five percent of your potential rate. but compares to anywhere from forty five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars a year to run people through the emergency room the trails the court system and so on. this is the famous security of street prosecutors history his fate is no

longer. on the back of the train family thinking that they are what we're there someone with their. whole world can think yet they never knew that.

everybody here who feel sorry for her read. this here's a reasonable thing that they do down here they harass people. topple over and yell stop think person maybe a five times in one day and this goes on all day no day just decided if you were a white t. shirt and shorts you could soon be there don't they are arguing so that's probable cause to be stopped which is. nowhere in the world in the neighborhood could you not stand a street not stand a five off not wait don't we have a downtown austin. the only place to get through this. picture keith court is neighborhood still quite all that. interesting street operate but it could downtown off in black or brown you can still thought well ok great can't street kid. the plantation. for years officials turned

a blind eye to skip around in two thousand and six the chaos finally caught the city's attention fifteen new police officers were deployed to an area less than one square mile in size. the safer city soonish it cost the city of los angeles six million dollars in its first year alone. please say for cities initiative that was launched in september two thousand and six a bill on the drawing board since two thousand and two it was originally called the homeless reduction strategy that was launched with a vengeance in september of two thousand and six and there was an effort that was really targeted by mayor of the overdose of chief bratton knows a comprehensive approach to skid row. there were going to be two problems there was going to be a serious crackdown on what was called serious crime and skid row and then there was to be

a big expansion of services. well one of those things happened and the other one didn't. really put zero dollars into the services side to come in so hard with the enforcement without having the the enhancement piece giving the services that are necessary to make this how the community is kind of backwards if you make me get off the sidewalk where am i going to homeless where i'm going to really go where am i going for you know terry community. so there were to argue are just sit here i can't stand here i can lay here so you know where you are go when you look. that find her hair skin and when you see the drug between. the sunni the prostitution and the train on this we have every right and every responsibility giver sponsibility to address and i stand behind these safe seats in the city because i believe. you know. you

think that the mayor was you know east in a way talked about safer cities you would think you his mother teresa. instead of being the most fascist democrat and the most you know he's always allowed the fascists to take over his city administration the manhattan institute and as far as i'm concerned up from my perspective chief bratton runs his stamp city and i don't know why we have a mayor we had no rule of resources here. this equal quality of life and. this was the last time that maybe three fill. police chief william bratton made his name cleaning up new york city with the controversial broken windows theory of crime reduction. safer sees how to implement that same policy in his new town. to same tactics it was jones and the broken

windows theory in new york right where and i say concept by you the same way he justified new york in the same way you plan on jennifer. california but consequences are really bad service thirty four hours of the people here especially people with disabilities in the first year there were. arrests an area of the tour with thirteen thousand people or twelve thousand citations issued for most forest fires that were littering or care workers or someone who under the authority of our fire.

with the economic down in the final. and the rest. will be. the european union likes to think of itself as one of the. parts of the world the european commission report on corruption the first of its kind to trace a very different picture in every single member country there is corruption in some cases on a massive scale so what can the e.u. teach the world. we will. see you will know about. they are almost entirely in the olympic village if they are not to. tell the i.o.c. where the. every

after you sit there with your hairs on your head these guys are all shaky they got their guns to your head you're on your knees with guns you had five guns on your door look like i got some place to hide a weapon. i remember just the sight of the ruthie officers walking down the street why. they walked up to a camera. everybody go get out you know in a line folds up against a wall to they threw coffee on the street. six policemen said that the plain sight more telling thing i can. only put everything in the street civil liberties or something that belonged to people who live west of main street or east of alameda and beyond little tokyo or in the south park area there are no civil liberties i'm honored at all in the skid row area and it's known by the city attorney's office it's known by the mayor it's known by everybody at city hall but nobody cares.

we say we go places but some of these people stuff i went through a whole bunch of stuff in the street because the police kept blind humans and they were going to clean it and i think those people stuff in the street kill a we're going to clean that sidewalk i thought linking it back and get right up and that was all of blankets over people's heads and they'd been killed in my fishing means stolen they lost their blankets and i don't know telling what else has a place just down their line i mean said is going to clean sidewalk and they were. skitt world is full of contradictions. it can be violent chaotic frightening. but it can also be a refuge. a place to get well. find acceptance. one of the first people that i met and that was robert. he became

a soulmate lover he became my guy. has a dream of being married to my guy i want to walk down al wood when he was sound without. you know that the knees issue and that's one of my greatest strength i take people point to sidewalk and take a bagel with. fetal extend to shoot some time when i was twenty two to. rest just to get off the sidewalk because my days homeless people to me. and leave me behind and let me lay up and sleep and eat in their house and i had to give back . so i had to fill up to have some time when i. do things when i hope people don't know tonight you know could be called because you got a call to a photo booth so. in a real way. from now on i'm not on skid

row anymore or place it's insane and i got my section eight i'm off the street i'm sober and i made comply or. if i take a country. part fresh out the gotta love the diet there are certain stuff you know you forget things you would never think about that you need you need the dish soap and you broach very kooky an oil with salt and pepper and toilet paper and cleaning supplies and a broom and a box this is my lovely walk of fame this got a letter to my certificates a completion this one here is a star for get from the class foundation there's a thirty day primary detox this one here have to say i'll change gendered which was a tough one to get and this was another still very completion for whom was caught i got total like one hundred fifty tickets. and what i have to do is go and check myself and to get at least to me this by getting into

a program so for as long as i was in a program of course a clue about all the tickets this one has a picture of my dad as state and as my step mom i like to feel the ocean and i would tell but i don't really like their faces so i just kind of stuck a contact right through the i had a little picture of my cable that in my baby when she was a. tiny little tyke tells me she's my youngest our tax probably two or three this is that because he condos this is the main house and over here would be the guest house you know i want from skid row with this tent was on skid row with me and now it's in my living room and the cops can't come and tell me to pack up my tent because can't check to see if i got a pop i've been there you're i feel like no pop pipes over here i would rather have a couch and end it in a chair no appetite and i have to sleep on the couch constantly and then i think this is just fits me more. and for so long i don't want to forget how i got here and this is a symbol of what i was what i could be and what i could have been and what i was.
