i mean everyone's chasing the same dream. everyone is doing the same thing, having to get a job, making it rich, making the savvy money that, that, that, 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 going to overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money get? it comes on the stairs, like for edward where readies,
4:32 pm
what, $70000000000.00 or something like that. missing in money are democracies falling apart and were 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 was 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. there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room wherever the people are allowed. you know, friends may 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, sharing those angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have
4:33 pm
a homeless out being done right now. the counting, how many on house before living on the streets. so we don't have the exact numbers yet, but it's going to be high. the numbers have increased from last year, even though that more is being done. or at least that's what being told. to the point that the numbers she has last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california is the read just to again, my name is dan. hi. the rent is too damn high. the number on the the, the, the rent, the amount on the. 8 so we turned in over a $150.00 in signatures to get it initiative on the ballot to expand rent
4:34 pm
controlled that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to its opposing that issue and trying to stop the safe and trying to stop us. we also delivered over 732000 signatures to the governor of california, governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. how 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 ballot. which basically says that a top kits on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand are in control or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a junk house clinic in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to switch to something non profit simply because they don't want rent confirm
4:35 pm
the my name is gina. i am with mom, mom, landlord. and i was 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 waste 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. wow. wow, sense of dollars to move out? it's not there. where is our side of the protection? to be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of them? somebody take care of health care. complaint at the grocery store,
4:36 pm
complain that your medicine is. why is it just the landlord puts me landlord, i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units they're worried as well because what that high winds cool up 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 business as the effect, the small landlords. so we're to let them know that, you know, if we bring rank control to 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
4:37 pm
a gas station and buy board wiser. and the price goes up a dollar every day is 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 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 walking mother to 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 white? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things when the economy just deteriorating is it? is there is not
4:38 pm
a way for the wages to catch up up to what the prices are for uh for rent a person just trying to get to it. maybe you have a studio apartment here in this area is going to be at least uh, $1500.00 a month. and even with some help 1st for move in its 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 mean. yeah. don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. and i got this know tell me whines i get on through the disease like a 180. 0 like a year and i just on doesn't look like i need to be honest, honestly know what cost of living out this month or to subtract them. uh, yeah, no matter if your worker 40 r o job, hourly job, you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories,
4:39 pm
items that we i've been out here in california and hollywood for probably about 10 years. about 10 years and i have yet, 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 i've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19. so is i'm gonna record it. i'm not trying to, i mean these probably there's not i can't get any decent things up. tell them that 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. tell me a girl. we don't we don't hear from you. you might, you might be a, might be, you know, don't know. no one says that again, just making a wireless. ha, i think the,
4:40 pm
the whole thing was you girl, what do you do full evening? i'll do. i'm going to sound go to school. i go to won't be city college or this study. i'm going for film and the screen writing. 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. i went and 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 screen writing. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number for phone, an executive director of the shower of whole and like the name says,
4:41 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 shows, they can see over here the various different locations. we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's close to folks like experiencing homelessness. and we offer just 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 a full sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let them use the bathroom. but when it comes to showers, a lot of i guess, if it wasn't for us only have access to shot 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, and,
4:42 pm
and that's so much the man for our services. how does it to you? oh, it's good. it's always good to have your the hutch down. they have fall showers. yeah. yeah. it's always good. we get a lot of our own lives at my god. supply fresh shower t vs. i'd be a data breach. so 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 flu. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy food. they just don't. so you see those disparities right there that any quality whereas you go to well do neighborhoods or neighborhoods of, of,
4:43 pm
of white folks. you'll see that they are, they have better jobs, better paying their 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, 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 uh, tears. you could 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 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 i'm having appointments instead of them being in line for hours. what's
4:44 pm
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 done 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 style, 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, the
4:45 pm
4:46 pm
fits deal with the getting service please. god bless you the the gas 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 he doesn't 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 ready to go through it. and i have one say that the know how can i do i, i just leave my hands chargeable to
4:47 pm
4:48 pm
4:49 pm
yeah. hard. are you able to see all the flight to afford a place here? not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to afford, you know, of course, you know, like what to do in the city and 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 of the cost of living also has increase their think. $3500.00 the one bedroom. it was way across the
4:50 pm
street. the apartment. yeah, they just, 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 dentist takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up with. they have people that building these things up. but why then does it work to be here? if you're not able to afford the leaving the right there is 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 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.
4:51 pm
so they said it's a, he's the, she say thing, but we showed him 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're already existing, the shelf that you're talking about. this is the right thing. one of the houses where they are 4 people die room, so nearby job is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up with the boss last week um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um what is that the, the not, not. okay. not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to see this about time after work for 6 people didn't already know they
4:52 pm
weren't in on. yeah. yeah. i know, i really don't know and. and then people go up missing and they don't even talk, sit and see nothing about it. you remember the one with the rabbit? she had where miss and i was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as you folks come back and nobody knew where she was and made 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 all sorts of 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. you can view it as soon as that as soon as i have time, i'm so tired of move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine crap. they're more and more people become seamless though. there's none
4:53 pm
of the co bags and then they'll buy your bite and doesn't make things 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 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 on 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
4:54 pm
you, you know, these, these are things that 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 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. here's how food you would have a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people is 40 or 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
4:55 pm
guys problem to holly where i get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like guys 1000000 a year. the sell a baby for me. oh, you're looking for low read our movies. because people come out here. father, a dream says the 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 working on manifestation. i made it as a limit of as of right now already body for me. i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address. i mean, that's what it lies about me. when you see that house, as you'll see me and it is lend his house for me,
4:56 pm
welcome to welcome to hollywood. welcome to have a welcome to welcome to dreamland. for james, i'm 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 inches shut down. it's hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and seeing and countless play not fail 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,
4:57 pm
there's no kindness in any city or state 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 steps the subject looks good and then pulled up. now i would think so, but the people are always people good or they're not like the rooms. right? all depends on the day. how can they didn't going to look bad in kenner across the road to attend. there was an center we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is,
4:58 pm
is that the safety nets that existed, they be 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 they are. certain programs are 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, but then labor very little or nothing. the
4:59 pm
it's, it's almost almost a cliche in the west. but this whole idea of with my, to the last refrain in some truth behind it. i mean, think about it for the american, the $60000000000.00 for the reason. a package. it's not a lot of money. a lot of money stays within the united states in terms of the defense contracts and the like, pulled off money that, you know, they buy times like prolonged a wall to keep rush of busy. you know, this is the, ultimately, this, what the west is doing is on a file, you know, trying to preserve west to take him and the, the
