is this includes the, i mean, everyone's chasing the same dream. everyone's doing the same thing, having to get a job, making it rich, making the savvy money 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 going to come from? seriously, we're, it, we're, we're, we're ready is what? 70000000000 or something like that. missing in money. are democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things and what you should be worried about, the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind item

somewhere around 80000 people that are on house. here's the problem that being a house may come in different forms because there are some people that aren't even here, cars or some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room, whatever day 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, shearing, los angeles, right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless own being done right now. the counting how many on house before living on the streets. so we don't have that 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 shifts last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california. right?

is the rent is due. again, the rent is too damn high. the rent is too damn high the, the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it initiative on the ballot to expand control that to be on the california ballot in november of 2024. and the apartment association is trying to is opposing this and trying to stop a 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,

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 rent controls or anything around housing. so they're hurting tenants, and also a chart cost clinics in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip into something non profit simply because they don't want to bring to the my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i was a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords all green. you don't here are 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 for dollars to move out. if 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 them? somebody take care of health care complained at the grocery store complained that your medicine is, why is it just the landlord by me, landlord. so i'm thinking about landlords. i have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because with a high risk go up with corporate driving the the rates up 6 are hard to keep up

with us. so these 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 control to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being terminated by corporate landlords that want to take their properties as well. the housing rates are gonna keep going up, like if you go to a gas station and buy budweiser 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 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 walking by the golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on. since 2006 where the relief, the right here and this trucks. why is it so why? oh, well, there really isn't a way to get to on top of things. what the economy just deteriorating is it, is there is not a way for the way just to catch up up to what the prices are for, 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 $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. serious and i got this . no telling juanza i get on through the disease like a $180.00 little like a year and i just on does it look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what the cost of living out this month for some kind of deal. my yeah, no matter if you work or 40 our job, hourly job, you know me if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these histories on them, so weird. i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years, and i have yet to get in 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 then i've got a very extensive criminal background look at 1970 somewhere at the new. i'm not trying to mean these for you. there's not i can't get any decent things up. so i'm

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 coming over . we don't, will you don't say, here's the ceiling now. do you mind? do you mind me? mind being on, you know, like a bigger one like says, i think he's making a wireless. i said he said he was at the low you go what do you do full leaving? oh, do. i'm going to some go to school. i go to lumpy city college for the study. i'm going for film and the screen 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, a wondering award for my spring play. in 22 for one screen play that i wrote in

2021 from penn america. i and i'm trying to do something with the skills and talents that i have for spring writing. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number, cool phone, an executive director of the shower of whole and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same los angeles. and what we do is we take things mobile show us like you 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 them showers even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use public chavo

let lona that through. so fall off the full. so sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which a coffee shop will let them just let use the bad throw. but when he comes to show us a lot of, i guess, if it would for us only have access to the shallows, 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 that's so much the man for our services. how does it to you? oh, it's good. it's always good to go. i got a hutch down. they have fox hours. okay. yeah, yeah, it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless. i'm a good part for a shower too. yes, i'd be a good shower. the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups,

particular are huge. and these 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 this bear with me right there. that any quality whereas you go to well do neighborhoods 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, 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. there's one the most under served communities in los angeles. i love the immigrants are here,

most of them don't speak english. 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 or 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, and have an appointment instead of them being in line for hours. what's 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 products done here. and they do serve the people who 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 to take instead of 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, [000:00:00;00]

the homeless program is home is the we're, i have a problem, is there a need to a fitness center? my right for them enjoy holding for 6262, you've been homeless for a long continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just people who like to go ahead and poke, you have to pay the pension deal. we're right here to help with on getting some really low version. you the, the gap 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 right now. we'll go through what was the last? no. how can i do i, i just leave my hands. chargeable to. no. yeah. can you see you on board?

oh hi. tom this this where do birthdays are a bad day tomorrow. right. man. yeah. he yeah. the, the 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? yeah, yeah. hard. are able to see off the flight to afford a place here. not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to

afford acquired new 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 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 the cost of living also has increased 40. i think $3500.00. the one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up for a one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the data takes everybody around 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 to this people, they can't co habits, he can't get along so they can't. well, the next cannot relation apparently can live with 10 people in a, 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 said he's the se, se 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

a why do you to text messages? you, what are you just the michelle? so you're thinking about this is the right thing. wonder where they are for people die room. so nearby. john is the same way we met them there. they're still there putting up was the goal since 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, not a good thing. have you guys seem to be fine? and we, i want to say this about time after one or 6 people that already passed the in on. yeah, yeah. i know, i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even try to sit in see nothing about it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she had with miss and, and they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or went to 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 all the program and programs. all sorts of less is little bit like service 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 use that as soon as i add the time, i'm so tired of move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine that are there more and more people then to 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 a lot of money is blown away. i'm very, 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 the restrictions on how to rent have changed. they want you to have a deposit of, you know, same, we sometimes want you put 3 months down or prove you can pay 3 months when you, you know, there's, these are things that a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they made it so hard that a person with a pretty well paying job, couldn't 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 would have a safe place to live. you would have food, you would have a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people has 40 hour 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 hey guys, come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like, guys 1000000

a year. the sell a baby. so me be looking for low, read our movies because people come out here for the 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 working on manifesting. i made a visit the minute as of right now already body for me. i look at it, i visualize it. i know the address to me. that's why i lays 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. welcome to very welcome to welcome to dreamland for james, come through the

. i know, honestly it's probably hard deliver, 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. its 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 buying or 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 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 this,

since the subject looks good to go. no, i'm good. thank you sir. but you people are always people good or for not unless you're right. the all depends on the day count can fit in. going to bed on 10 or 12 to one of the to attend. there isn't center we're through so there is different factors that may affect our seniors. and most important is, is that the safety nets that existed, they being taken away. so it's very difficult. i know people that have retire, we cannot retirement checks that they 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, but the labor very little or nothing. the moon's the same rom,

just don't have to shape house and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part we choose to look so common ground the the,

[000:00:00;00] the suite, the v. nice the, what so striking so means this contrast in california where some people i so reach and other people are barely making. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the 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 controlling everything they want to keep people under their under this, under your son's control people. that's a way of controlling people. you know,
