2:32 pm
seriously for it we're good for. so we're ready, slide 70000000000 or something like that. missing in money are democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things. and when you should be worried about the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces, instead of turning a blind eye to love you somewhere around 80000 people that are on house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there are some people that are living in your cars or some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room wherever the 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. hearing those angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have
2:33 pm

2:35 pm
profit simply because they don't want rent control the. my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i, we have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords all green. you don't hear our 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 direct 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 had to pay them for 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 take care of health care. complaint at the grocery store complained that
2:36 pm
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 there. worry as well because with that high, when it's cool, 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 land. unfortunately, the fix, the small businesses, the affect, the small landlords. so we're to let them know that, you know, if we bring rank, consult 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
2:37 pm
a gas station and buy budweiser and the price goes up a dollar every day, because 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 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 us 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 when the economy just deteriorating is it?
2:38 pm
is there's not a way for the wages to catch up to what the price is for. for a ranch, a person is trying to 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. 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 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. and i got this know tell me once i get on through the disease like a 180. 0 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 in this month or subtract them. uh yeah, no matter if your worker of 40

2:40 pm
a wireless. but he said he was at the, at the low you girls. what do you do full leaving? i'll do. i'm going to go to school. i go to lumpy city college for this study. i'm going for film and the spring 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. i went and award for my spring play in 22 for one screenplay 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 about who thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number cool, found an executive director of the shower full. and like the name says,
2:41 pm
we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same los angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shortlist. i can see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close default, so i experiencing homelessness. and we offer a gent 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 for 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 bathroom. but when it comes to showers, a lot of i guess, if it wasn't for us, only have access to shop 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 buzz back out of a sink. so that's why it's so critical and,
2:42 pm
and that's so much the man for our services on the, the queue. oh, it's good. it's always good to get the hutch down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah, it's always good. we get a hot challenge homeless that my 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, put in security is, is lack of access to healthy, put, lack of access to food. 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,
2:43 pm
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 that 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, this one, the most underserved communities in los angeles. a lot of immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english or we have here and 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 elder me. so this is a 9 o'clock we, well we have done is we set up an appointment system so people can actually sign up and,
2:44 pm
and have an appointment. instead of them being in line for hours. what was 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 that we've picked yesterday. so you're not gonna make buying any any fresh or uh, products on here. and they do serve with the people they 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 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.
2:45 pm
the the homeless, his home is a weird. i have an 8. the problem is only about $0.50 a month, right. what am enjoy old a? 6262. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just to feel like for example, you have to pray that hey, fish a deal. where am i right here to help with only getting some really low
2:46 pm
version you the, the got 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 hand.
2:47 pm
tracker boom. boom of hey you sell it. just can you show the home for, you know, on the 1st time this is where birthdays are a bad day. mm. hm. all right, man, there is. yeah,
2:48 pm
the 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 here? yeah. pard and i are able to see of
2:49 pm
the flight to afford a place here. not many people can wear it to what to do. like if you were not able to afford your partner, like what did you anticipate here 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 living also has increase their think $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just,
2:50 pm
they just billed and they just opened them up. so that's a one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the data takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that building these things up. but why then does it work to be, sir? if you're not able to afford the leaving the right there is people, they can't co habits, he can't get along. 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,
2:51 pm
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. 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. they're, they're still they're putting up with the boss last week. um um and gave kelly. i think her name the day or the give her um what is the the, the not, not are not going to seem to be fine. and we, i want to say it's about time after one or 6 people didn't already know they weren't in on. yeah. yeah. i know i really don't know and,
2:52 pm
and then people go up missing and they don't even try to sit and see nothing about it. you remember the one with the rabbit share 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 need of 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 going to program and so to plus is little bit like says today and that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent, up in the 30 a month. what is your, your income you or is that as i had time to try to move out most people in my apartment, i do a met in pratt and then more and more people become seamless though they see none
2:53 pm
of the co bags and then they'll buy it doesn't make me 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 and varies. we see very little come out over that. you know, so they spend a lot of money, you mean government government? yes. they spend a lot of money and the labor very little rent has just really taken off the, 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
2:54 pm
a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they've made it so hard, is that a person with a pretty well paying job cleaning, cutting right here. and there was a time, i mean, it 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 here without food. you would have a car, but now people are choosing and we're talking about people with 40 hour week jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're taking single pay by can 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,
2:55 pm
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. father, 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 of as a right now 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 welcome to hollywood
2:56 pm
local. now i work in the foreground of dreamland for dreams on 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. 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 your food or you can do it and you can live. you have a home, you know, the, there's no kindness in any city or say,
2:57 pm
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 we'll go now i look. thank you sir, but you people are always people good or for not like the room. right? the all depends on the day how it is going to look bad on kenner jenner isn't center we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is,
2:58 pm
is that the safety nets that existed, they be 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, there are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody gets it. 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,
2:59 pm
but the labor very little or nothing. the it's almost uh, almost depletion in the west, but this whole idea reply to the last you bring in some truth behind it. i mean, think about it for the american, the $60000000000.00 for the reason. a package, not a lot of money. a lot of money stays within the united states in terms of the defense contracts and the like and pulled up money that, you know, they buy time, they prolong the war, but keep russia busy. you know, this is the, ultimately, this, the, what the west is doing is on the file. you know, trying to preserve west the heck him and
