2:33 am
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 more income than all of us together. you do think there's a gap is becoming smaller or is growing all it's growing? i don't know. they only want a handful of people. uh, controlling everything they want to keep people under their under does, under your son's control people's. that's a way of controlling people. you know, power and money. everyone should have had these housing food, you know, healthcare, education close, you know, stuff, you know, things like that. yeah. i know little extra so you could maybe go to the movies or go out to dinner or something on a little vacation. you know,
2:34 am
he's doing the, did the whole dance with the yeah, i'm 77 and i don't get enough nearly enough income, but i have of the affordable housing. it's called affordable housing, but they keep facing the rants that they don't with that they don't keep, they don't raise my income to match, you know what i mean? my social security retirement. so do come here to make some extra money. yeah. supplemental you know what i mean? the very last job i have was security, but i've done many things i've. i've been an optician, i've done security. i've been a secretary, i been
2:35 am
a forklift operator. i've sent them different things and you are working all your life. right. well, you know from the 17 on us. yeah. the new i've been waiting for housing for awhile . like around 17 years and um, talk from home, personal care and the salvation army they got together and they got me a room for a year. so you know, which is pretty good because you know, now i don't have to travel a lot too much. and sales like fi, cushy i had a, i had major surgery on my legs. come on this thing. but i also have a disease and my legs for my blood cells and i most to switch. and my skin has a hard time sticking to our legs. so they put these on there to hold it back. but this is the big one right here. because you don't want to kill them so many times. source laying around areas. in other words, you know, that really is like, i don't know, that's what a lot of lots of people are homeless then. then the houses,
2:36 am
nothing goes on you on the telephones where you felt funny or one year, you know, and so you can see it for work. so i came with fact because of my girl, she turned to take the little overdose. all set over goes and had to come back to the greyhound, so you don't pay, you know, a lot of people die enough enough that i don't even know what the fuck is. it's all just crazy. a lot of my friends home boys and girls that are different options and i drove is this, well, i think we can handle it. in real systems. we can handle, you know, they're not strong minus. and if you want to be realistic, realistic about the problem regarding it where the problem really lives. and that's where the drugs, the drugs, is where the problems lies. and legalize the that, that, that, like i said, nothing better than me. and other drugs to a misdemeanor. what good did that do is to
2:37 am
just help them to be able to do more drugs easier because the fear before it was a fear of a felony going to jail, doing the present time or whatever the case may be. now is just a ticket. that's it. you catch him sitting on the side of the street endangering children's wise by smoking his crap out me open the can you give them a ticket and you walk away what? how does that change in any that he just goes, get some more and just does it again? it's like we don't care or respect the human, the human race. but when we may make laws and decided, oh, they're only a misdemeanor. now it's no big deal. it is a big deal. sorry. so you can say you're from london. yes. rhetoric just outside of london. yeah. and what's the name of it? it's yeah, man, i think he's been and what do you think about that today says here and what's the weather? so i definitely noticed
2:38 am
a huge difference between the rich and the full on new existing. well, i didn't know existed to the level of did i know it's very high, i'm experiencing it 1st time. this is, you know, this point. trouble. i've heard so i've heard of skid row. i was out right. i don't know most about that. i've heard so many people say they're going to bring it in just a good role and help the people there that's been there since the 96. so we're in 2014 or, i mean we run around other countries like is your country, do you need some help? do you still grow? and they'll help you know, give you a bunch of money and do a bunch of stuff to help your people get better. and then we look into and then you guys come over here, is water treatment. everything. oh, perfect. and the coast may be going so much of that. so why? oh, i've seen it all over the past 20 on 29. now the obviously grew up watching american
2:39 am
television. all of that stuff in what we see on the screen here is like, oh sorry, from that is not the perfect image of everything, but we still go into depth and searching stuff up and seeing what was actually got . i don't, it's completely different story. i guess what's really interesting is people here much more neglect. it's been over that then. and i'll just see i've been every single state who i speak to some years in over the last 50 some years. i was as what used to be a partial problem of families here and there now it is because it's such a big problem. ringback so we're kind of them uh, you know, kind of skid row beyond 50 then. well, so on the north side that's a mission. they have room for our own $600.00 b, both party to families. you know, you don't see it,
2:40 am
but there are lot of children on skid row. they try to keep them inside. know we have multiple themes from homeless held guard to the community health project, doing valuable work, going around distributing narcanon fentanyl district because that is a significant number of overdose. those that happen daily, you know, schedule like a lot of people, you know, don't understand what actually schedule is 54 blocks 0. and the funny thing is right in the middle of skid row is a police station. and one time when i was there, i saw a 2 dude arguing amongst each other. one shoots the dude over the dog and watched the way and the bodies laid out there until 10 o'clock the next day. why? i don't know and there's a police station, right? across the street and this was, that was right in front of the midnight shelter. after i saw that i, i just left, i decided not to be down there. so there are a lot of people who are struggling with mental health issues on schedule. a part of
2:41 am
that is because um, you know, whole mess of spite sophie so much trauma. one people site keep that you know, regular people just being on the street and up with a mental illness. but then also because we have such a fractured health care system in the us and a big part of it is having really no support for people with mental illness. so the way the hospital system works, after the initial days, the state doesn't pay for the care of patients. so what the hospitals do is they medicaid them and they dropped them off on skid row. that was a hospital vegas that was caught dumping 1500 patients with the 500 on skid row. 500 in sacramento, and 500 in ad tucson, arizona. most of the time when i'm out here, i'm not even flying for money for itself. mostly just out here,
2:42 am
just people watching is like watching the television. oh is full of good, interesting television because there's a bunch of weirdos and he's in 8th or older. in words, it almost looks like walking zombies from the movies like it's going to pop up in the i don't know, but now, but being on the real tip on that it's fat. no, it attacks the muscles were the, it basically started feeling over water. it also attacks the strength and in their body, where they can keep state a straight body up. so they're basically folded in half a have a slip, right? no real sleep in a bed laying down with a shower or anything like that for over over 8 days. past employee of delirium. i'm now as a point of just total of exhaustion and frustration of i can't get
2:43 am
a hold of my family holidays. 4 years old and i looked like them probably 60 because of what streets of done this is i. it's tiring. i'm so tired. i tried to go to the hospital because i got the source for my hands from the shit they're putting in the, in the, in the medicine and the drugs is that, you know, i don't, i don't use anything needles or anything like that. i don't understand what's going on with this, you know, it's, and it's only selected people there. they're destroying me, little bits at a time where rather disturbing the military, i was with the marine corps, specifically more sock little bit in libya. smaller, you have the people in small entry each other veterans and we treat each other. i here on the street certainly is the most wretched group of people i've ever met in my life. i wish that there was
2:44 am
a button you can pushing it would exterminate all towards all the bad people who hurt people what 0 get raped in the only way. and when i tried to get the guy off of or i was attacked by his home boys, they broke for my ridge. ah, they split my lip open. i mean, like they supposed to me a pretty good excuse my language. the so it's your bare is just children with the little uh, like a baby uh furnace kind of thing. is movie smoking like smoking of it don't need to be afraid and cho yates. so i'm fairly see in your lives because this person,
2:45 am
this person like says and now you're going to go and do that because he's your friend and you want to be accepted, recognize cj for lo, understood as all the really everybody wants. it's just, sometimes some people go buy a weird way of trying to get it is that everybody isn't as intuitive or salvage. not everyone has all the skills and all the gifts and the ones that don't, we need to be loving and patient and understanding instead of hating them for what they're doing. actually notice and then maybe it might be a different story. is kind of cute. being short stubby like sometimes you don't even know where to go sleep, watch it. you know, you can walk into a town, you don't know where to spot is. don't know where you could pop it up to be safe. still not to surface place. it was world, it's made of cloth and easy,
2:46 am
nice could cut through it. but what they don't know is i don't how to my girl. she's the ones that type of word that because i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm not violent. i don't like being, i don't like violence, but this was the question, is she? she has a couple of what they call uh she calls to be speaker, be don sticks, where she's not afraid to come out of the 10 fashion. most of you know, i would do that because i just don't like violets at all. it's my home is where i live every single night. the
2:47 am
the maybe we could do a little interview with, oh my god, let's say the call we're right here. right? so you barely hear grateful for me. look here, see me in the right. you have places like this only exist. can you imagine where you will be at this place like this? well, you know, this is some of the attendance and the struggle that people go through trying to keep up with the rents. you know, it's a real struggle and he gets very real. especially when you have family children, you know, can you imagine, you know,
2:48 am
what do you go if you cannot afford your ran that you have children? i mean, my heart goes out to moms like her that, that i see her daughter i, she's going to school down the street. and i need some beautiful sight to see that . and, and we have we have my or her as a mom. and we also admire the little child that just smart. why beautiful, biggest smile. so she brings a big smile to our own faces, you know, just for them doing well. but without affordable housing. and you know, many people be literally, as you say, living on the streets. i mean, when, when age of, uh bought this building, there were some people that were living here. so some of the rings kind of just that. so it would be more affordable, but they have certain amount of units that are exclusively for people that don't have homes. so we work with them and i'm place them if we have any, if it is, you know that you may go to whoever it may be applying,
2:49 am
but applications come really fast and, and the fills up fast. we have other buildings that we just bought. and as soon as they fix them, it fills out really quickly because, i mean, the people are waiting for housing for a long time. you know, we have shown this the city that, that we can actually provide housing a much cheaper than what the, the city is doing. the city spends a lot of money and deliver very few apartment units. some of the units can start as low as a $100.00 compared to other places with the amount for what we offer here. you pay close to $2000.00 for a studio unit with the bathroom and the kitchen area. so pretty much less than half
2:50 am
a month. the other thing is martha was gonna lose her subsidized income through the program. she was in and she wouldn't have been able to afford the rent, but they were gonna put her in another one of our buildings. and she loved it here so much we ended up just trying to advocate for her when she was able to stay. and then we lowered her, her rent down now. so she can stay to where to go. yeah. can you go in any city or state? they have cranes there just over building. i mean, some of those buildings are left empty and we have so we have enough here of empty buildings that we could put all the people who are on our streets and but that's why there's always talk. so cities having attacks for having empty spaces, so then they would be more incentivized to, to accept section a it, or take
2:51 am
a family in or not look for their ideal candidate. but real estate, i think, is just become this huge way to invest and they're not thinking about housing, people anymore. and i think that's all over the united states. they used to be the, you know, you, you would get a, have a family and you'd be able to get a house and every, every, just be this progressive thing. i don't think that's happening for most anymore. the wiley here, i use volleyball games. i love the sea, so my dream is to one day have a place of my own with my husband and be either running around coram, or working at one of the court room. yeah. and studying the see you guys, you know,
2:52 am
see creatures and taking care of um i love to see as much as i love dogs, which would be the gross annual within your car, in your, on your cellphones and any that have a spot for the crabs in the clams and the, the oysters, you know, just be those you actually can raise them. and they can give you pearls, clams, and oysters. they can, they can give you pearls if you have enough sand at the bottom the
2:53 am
i'm much more happy with that. because then i don't get to, to worry about, i got 0 stressors. how about you? you as a human being, how many suppressors do you have? i don't have a list for me as me. i got no, i'm happy exactly where i need to be free from all the lives that everybody cast around like parity and then decide, you know, one we, because you're not so dark, you're ok, or more we do with the little more dress nicer. you're all right. judge there to devote how people should look dressed at all those aspects. it's going for different forms of braces like my daddy. oh you say keep it simple. stupid. i have one son was right. that's totally different story. is that one? i don't know. the another thing to add with homelessness
2:54 am
in california, um one of the things and again across the board in the us as well. one of the biggest reasons we have this issue is we have a really broken foster care system up to 70 percent of children exiting the foster care system in the us become homeless at some point in their life way when they exit after they turn 21 they basically have very little access to services, but unfortunately, because the foster care system is so broken and because these kids are going through so much trauma, by the time they hit our streets desktop for him for mental illness, they might be suffering from a diction or they might be, they might be putting situations where a post has them even go into a incarceration, which i'll do monthly means that they end up homeless living life, your income match the cost of living back in my time,
2:55 am
but it doesn't match anymore. in fact i who we get in certain scandinavian countries, they have a cap on there. the minimum that you can get, which is like, i say, a $22.00 to $25000.00 a year. but in, in america there's no cap on how much you can make or how little you can get, because you can get nothing or the sky's the limit. they're talking about slash and social security and slash and different things. i don't know why. we don't get enough as it is, you know what i'm saying, you work all your life and then you want to retire. but you can't really retire because uh, i might end up homeless eventually if, if there was, if the rent keeps going up in, you know, i may eventually get homeless my own so which i worry about, you know, we, so richter, profit from all this corporations during the pandemic on ebay. now, rick of prophets. we have more 1000000000 there is now than ever before. and yet we
2:56 am
have more people who are living in poverty and extreme poverty than ever before. corporations control and these know secret building there's control, you know, bonded fixing america. so when that happens is every policy that comes out, the 1st thing that is going to be thought about is not the, the, the working class or the people is how is going to affect feelings. and during the, by the that's in put in us, it gives each other, you know, the republic and saves that democrats. are the enemy, the democrat, said the republicans, are the enemy at the end of the day. the real enemy is the people that are seeing power, you know, and we have a whole bunch of followers that don't see how they have sold us out. it would be a good starter one. so it's not that bad, but it's too small. it would be a good start or would you rather stay in a car by vehicle?
2:57 am
yes. rather than. yeah. and i'd have to learn how to drive all you have to learn for the drive. yeah. i don't have my license yet. i've never driven a car in my life. so it's also called spring dream, which is square change to words put together. you basically make a sign, you fly walking down either a median or you sit on a street corner and hope to make money. one way of like the most successful day, i made a 100 bucks on his corner. yeah, i'd be really, there's a villain ization of people who are in house and their neighbors are instead of helping them, they are looking at them as
2:58 am
a problem in very dehumanizing way. and i think if they would just embrace them as their neighbor, because they are their neighbors and share and be generous. i think the world's and all this circumstance with keel. actually those i for a while like um, bein underneath the bridge and hearing the car, it's susan. you can waste a lot of energy and time thinking about negative things and not being pause while you're sitting there waste. you know, a lot of time being negative about it, you're missing out in the opportunities that should be there for you. while it's happening. like i said, the worst critics will be yourself. make things harder than what it should be. it's
2:59 am
not that it's not that hard to my name. i'm sorry, we're good. oh, pressure for the payment. it's me. i want you to get detail out of here before i end up having to hurt myself or hurt somebody else or get hurt myself. really bad. who's coming to that? i got an attacked inside of the target last night. i just got attacked and you have my bike show and it's all by the same people using i'm crazy. everybody else thinks reason, but i know it's for
3:00 am
a fact. it's not the headlines right now. what else you international, nearly $5000.00 ukrainian troops are killed and that failed incursion into rushes, quote, a region we for is it one of the settlements with ts forces found themselves in the prospect, the premiums they have been using little that 5 power to hips a strictly civilian area, this is one of the cluster munitions that did not explode. india's prime minister in the rental mode arriving in p o of off the wall, so he hopes to find a road map for peace, submit the crating and a conflict quote. it's not historical level of repression of the russian orthodox church slammed with ukraine. the decision to bind the canonical orthodox
