bomb pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a b. a probe and they don't want to pay it so the wady in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay. for elephant in the middle finger the movie is to model is. delayed and i hope he does. name is elvis some are saying i feel tiny houses for the homeless. see is back and they are here why put these guys out for me a tiny house is not a solution it will be a free for all. these nice safe conditions to live in. susu biggest opponent

right now the city of los angeles can't. always get terrorist and. nobody should be homeless anywhere but especially in one of the richest countries in the world. i build everything with because i make a lot of mistakes. and it's easy to back out your mistakes in compton south central l.a. a pint sized idea has been a battle with city author already so when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle. the mayor of los angeles has declared the city is in the midst of

a homelessness crisis. is trying to solve it one tiny house at a time the tiny house idea is very simple it's shelter. food water and shelter are not optional they're required for human survival so it's a. temporary solution. like the first stone a foundation if you will to helping people who are homeless. according to these cheap and portable tiny homes meant to be on the streets of l.a. . and they need to fix. but right now they're not moving anywhere because city authorities banned them so they used to belong to somebody yeah yeah. and now they're being used no now they've been sitting here for a better part of a year collecting dust. and people are you know struggling and suffering. so yeah

it's really sad i mean it's you know this is human life here you know. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny homes of threatening public safety but has seen the tiny house movement go viral online with support coming from right across the world so with the help of internet crowd funding he's going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad. alarms on the windows i put the vents these holes in the top you know it's really hot summer here so that way the heat all rise and go out in the city of angels elvis isn't considered one by the powers that be. but to the homeless he's one of the few struggling to get them off the streets i don't quit and i don't give up and i definitely don't bow down to bullies people need shelter now if i have to build a tiny house for every last person until i'm five hundred years old then that's

what i'm going to do. elvis is building his next house for a woman who brave. people that live. ravens living on the top next to a freeway. and from safe. the situation much worse than when. this is already on a service. raven's being on and off the streets must be life. very yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just so. she once had

a time since the city street she's been out here so you do not. tired after getting that. pretty well. pretty light. when they. when they do it. like. elvis is worried by the state of this communal camp and he. to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so we're going to have a tent and our rendezvous back to you guys in a little while. alone . opens up about a situation. it's been a struggle. and. the city always kicks us out from the state it's us they create those.

who want to costly move their stuff every day. ravens out here because she feels emergency shelters are overbooked or unsafe but city law was designed to move these camps on. and as a phone queue she receives a visit. all right. boys said we got to. get him about this by saturday. elvis. raven is given orders. she's running out of places to go they want everybody downtown where body one section. is not going to happen we're trying to scatter branch out.

to try to get away from downtown they wired by downtown what six downtown skid row . the worst place in history to be homeless downtown. if you're homeless in l.a. city louis to keep streets clear give you two choices. keep moving. to grow. this is the only place that you can sit up a tent without the city forcing belief. but elvis is tiny homes aren't allowed here . skid row is. unlike anything else in the united states. i call it the worst manmade disaster in the u.s. . are you. doing ok. and he fails runs

a big emergency shelter in the middle of skid row which i'd like to he's seen the numbers of women seeking help in a truck in just a year but you me get daedra nice to meet you unless you've got pretty eyes. and he's on crutches because last year he lost a leg to the flesh eating bacteria that exists here still every day he's out inviting new arrivals to his shelter because he knows just how bad it gets more than two thousand people on the streets forty nine square blocks of skid row it's the worst that we've ever seen. just a good idea you really need to look down that street there's not one open spot or summat sidewalk. for half a mile down that way. elvis is tiny houses designed as an option to avoid sleeping on skid row. because he is the increasing numbers of women and children

a sleeping alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. and police are the only source of protection starts a pretty constant ending this day and night. for maintaining order here can be struck running with. a man running with us who is fast. spend one night every once in a while and streets and i can't sleep because it's so dangerous and you just stay alert rats are running around running over people running in their trance and often people get beaten or assaulted or raped and that in effect can damage your health pretty quickly.

so i'm all for tiny houses but there has to be restroom facilities and shower facilities because otherwise we're putting people in treacherous living conditions just as if they're living in a tent. and this is why and the shelter keeps an open door policy but he's struggling to keep up with demand i can see right here right across the city shelters are full up many have to turn people away the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter there are not enough beds forty seven thousand people experiencing almost this and there are about twelve thousand shelter beds or transitional housing beds even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in there's no place to go. with limited access to emergency shelters and low cost housing life on the streets

in l.a. is an endless game of cat and mouse. because the city is charged with keeping the streets clean morning everybody this department of sanitation crew is about to move through the homeless encampments of skid row. watch out watch out for hazardous materials watch out for human waste. industrial operations like a. daily across los angeles to keep the streets clear the homeless to be constantly on the move. we are here every day in skid row every street is clean once every two weeks so this cycle that's the big effort. think is essential is essential to the city's. center of the city's growth and also the city's image this team will put more than five tons in the gadgets truck

today anything they deem to be unsanitary. most of it will be rubbish but some of it will be people's tents and the few positions. that. have brought a. waste . to the city gives advance notice of the cleanup but not everyone gets the message today or some unlucky ones. like the are asking to. get it was repeated i mean if you want to. live in the street you want to live if we sidewalk decide to value a loss leader. but the city's focus on keeping the streets

clean means further instability when you're living on them. it's also one of the main reasons elvis is tiny houses a band playing to hampering operations like this. you know way through the suburban and down on the street. if you avoid. conditions to live it so we basically the city has. the determination that goes should not be on the city streets. what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek

or who out of this ambitious to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the full session of nuclear weapons. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry finally i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite

different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. a world without borders no longer seems desirable even europe scales back its welcoming migration policies is there a way of addressing the global migration challenge without. being swept underneath . are in the standing rock reservation just about a hundred yards from here and we are experiencing full front. end loaded with the impact of. the standing rock phenomena.

later that day right. they made a mess they took out of the great. basically to. find out that getting you belong. to the state. or property just destroyed it. i know it. takes you in the midst of. you know. it will be the rules you have to be tempted to wave in the driveway. you didn't ask to be down sixty nine. mrs brady. and

a seventy two always to move. christine is new to the streets priced out of the winter she's desperately trying to get back. she says many psychos. but the authorities just take an entire week's worth. of the recycle bin. the city's cleanup means that christine will be out here even longer. before i did before was better. than taking to the to. know is they. don't do well.

for many homeless people in l.a. a lack of affordable housing makes it almost impossible to get off the streets. liston three percent of the city's rental market is fake and. we walk around most of the night and then christine shows me something breaking. this is the famous blue house. that i called my home. and other memories here in. so that was home this is home for me. this home is four walls that. f.l.t. cheering. that i have that again. which is the god's timing that my.

then she says in mind. this is meant that. they'll be a stranger ok. well this is tough. could help people like christine until they get back home if. the pressure's on for them to finish raven's tiny house. but he still needs to locate a place we can put it some way the city clean up one easily find these are just over eight thousand lots of the city controls. but. it's not a lot. and while searching he gets

a call from raven with an unexpected update. right after your son. yeah i'm pregnant. it's more that i'm pregnant hard i'm a governor after all the old way over it our time great each year i have my life together elvis is already worried about reagan but he must to some enthusiasm i will listen i got to run right now but i'll call you back later that's that's great news we have to celebrate. and i want to. i want to jump for joy and like cry this and on like. this is how quickly a change in circumstance can see your life go from bad to worse when you're on the street.

but the stakes raised for her tiny house i want to see how ravens coping with the news of her pregnancy. despite getting orders to move she still hear the same campsite look. you know want to know. what it is. a little concerned regarding the conditions. living at this time i got a lot of business to take care of. don't know if i'm having the time taker but i was amazed because i. like. getting off the streets.

but getting off the streets is difficult for even. we talk more and she reveals the devastating level of violence she fled as a kid we did she live. i was listed as a juvenile runaway. my dad. my dad been in prison. five months pregnant with me. basically we had no choice but to grow up before we were time. raven's had to learn to be tough. but she's right on the edge. like more and more americans take here. she's trips deep in the cycle of long term

homelessness. with no immediate way of getting out. when your life is the size of a teen can be a powerful tool. it's almost delivery day and with the news that raven's pregnant elvis is adding a special finishing touch to her tiny house. so i'm ok with just a little something to help her feel better and you know help her feel like she's got a nice guy to look at elvis knows how important little details like this can be he's watched too many people lose hope on the streets since the city forced me to take houses away from people three people have died mainly due to being stuck out in the elements and not having anywhere to go so it's criminal. picture smokey sitting in the doorway of her her tiny house one of the people who died was

his close friend smokey who received the very first tiny house new year's morning i found her dead in somebody else's tent not even her own because the city took that to. so. it's pretty simple without shelter people die. it's been a few months but. was a good person and she was my friend. inside city hall the pressure is on to create more housing the city has approved a multi-billion dollar strategy to help homeless but it will take ten years to build thousand new units which is. officials refused to embrace elvis's tiny for me a tiny house on a. parking space is not

a solution we're doing at this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the out of but if a structure in place city council. opposed to tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. someone wanted the site otherwise it'll be a free for all it'll be sex drugs and rock'n'roll and. they would absolutely have to have some rules and. see if they are here why put these guys back with elvis and the city is clear and yet again this time even in christine's camp right now that load open up there was a show. that's considered so it's going.

almost christine's belongings are taken by the department of sanitation but residents not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know it well i mean do you get rock bottom. he did not run five every year. all that money spent. you could spend half of that and give these people a place to go but instead they're treated like. with ravens camp demolished most of her positions gone and with a baby on the way elvis must deliver her tiny house before nightfall to close with him. i finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial. affect anybody.

elvis and raven hoped the spot of downtown l.a. away from skid row would be safe from the authorities. with already he's must continue to keep l.a. streets clean days finally. for the tiny house delivery feeling very good by a very. good life about it's going through a lot of hardship so this tiny house the suburban house. after the week that she's had and everything she's gone through on top of the in fragments it's more important now that she gets the house because i don't think she can go much longer with not getting any rest. you really feel. i do. think.

i think. i'm going to think. most things i do in life are out of principle. i was taught that somebody falls down you pick them back up. that's what we should do a lot of us. to remember that you know you thought. you called me and said. you know people sit on the back porch. look at the stars so long looking up at the tar you know your hats are to see you sit not to be tired but to the stars and you got a magic with. me. so i finally raven gets her own private space. and hopefully the first time in over a year i could not sleep and how long do you think it's going to last. that was said to say with us forever i wish it could last forever but.
