latest details, new york is going off r t reporting from new york. now, anyone who spends time there will most probably agree with los angeles as tank as the homeless capital of america. city leader after leader pledge to fix the problem . but all left office with tens of thousands, still living on the streets. so what's the solution? or documentary team attempted to find out, see what they discovered that the,

i mean, everyone's tracing 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 and you're going to come from the stairs like we're it, we're,

we're ready is what $70000000000.00 or something like that. missing 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 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. 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. hearing those 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 she has last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california run this the red just to get my rent is damn high. the rent is too damn time the number on the the, the, the rent, the on the. 8 so we turned in over a 100 and the allison signatures to get it initiative on the ballot to expand rent

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 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 case on the same, to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand are in control or anything around housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a junk house clinics in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip into something non profit simply because they don't want to confirm

the my name is gina. i am a small mom landlord and i was a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of lead. you don't, here are side of the story. i had 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 is not there. where is our side of the protection? or 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 you care. a complaint at the grocery store complained that

your medicine is, why is it just the landlord? so most me landlords, i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units they're worried 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 fixed, 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

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 paid 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?

is there's not a way for the wages to catch up up to what the prices are for, for rent 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, you know, tell them one jacket on through the disease like a 180. 0 my hear my son's 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 of dancing with i've been out here in california and hollywood for probably about 10 years about 10 years. and i have not 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 expensive criminal background look at 1970 is i'm gonna record it. i'm not trying to, i mean, nice for the, 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 things 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 around, you know, like a bigger one like says that we can just making a wireless. i. but the

whole thing was you girl, what do you do for leaving? i'll do. i'm going to go to school. i go to long beach 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. 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,

we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless the same as los angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shortlist, 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 homeless us 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, 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 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 of and,

and that's so much the man for our services. how does it to oh, it's good. there's always going to get a hutch down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah, it's always did we get a hot challenge homeless that my god to apply for a shower to yes, i did get the 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, 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, 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, well, we have done is we set up an appointment system. so people can surely sign up and,

and have an appointments 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 gonna be providing groceries for 400 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

water is part of the visit that the employee would posted. isn't the deepest you of us and that in the word part, is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without collisions. let's go products or the homeless. his home is a we have a son. his name is only about $0.50 a month. right. what am enjoy? holding of 6262. you been homeless for

a while. continue for many years. see 10 years so i'm just gonna go right ahead and popo see i have to pay the hey, fish a deal. we're right here to help with only getting some really low. god bless you the the get continues to grow. you know, we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's do 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 it,

and i have one is the last? no, i'm good. how can i do i have i just leave my hands. frankly, boom. boom. can you see the can you see the thank you for the 1st of the 1st time this this where do i bring today's that bad day? all right man, that he yeah. the

i i want to thank 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. hard and i are able to see of the flight to afford a place here. not many people can with what to do. like if you are not able to afford your partner, 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 the cost of living also has increased. let's say $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed and they just opened them up. and for one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the dining sites, everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that feeling in these things. but why then does it worth to be, sir? if you're not able to afford the leaving the right, there's this, the people, they can't co habits, he can't get a lot 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, 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 in the shelves. are you thinking about this? well, that was 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 was supposed to last week. um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um what is that the,

the non non non thing have you guys seem to be fine we, i want to see this about time after one for 6 people then already you know, they lower it 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 motor 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 shelf so so how you doing? they don't care about all where about nothing. all the program i'm gonna have programming job sort of less as little bit like service today. not quite 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 as soon as that,

as soon as i have some time to try to move out, most people in my apartment, i do a medicine pratt. and then more and more people become stainless, nowadays none of the co bags and then he'll buy item doesn't make me better as a 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. does spend a lot of money on 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 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 a lot of people wouldn't qualify for with good jobs. so they've made it so hard that a person with a pretty well paying job training, cutting right here. and there was a time, i mean, i was a while ago 253 years ago. you could be a serving 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 is 40 hours a week, jobs are choosing to buy groceries or pay their rents. and we're taking 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 guys come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like, guys 1000000 a year. the zillow baby. so me be looking for low risk, our movies, because people come out here for 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, i'm working on manifest man. i met of as women,

if is the right know 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 let them know how they will let them know that welcome to welcome to dreamland or dreams. come true, 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. it's hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere, and cnn cabinet may not fail 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. you know, they're not as compassionate as people. think about the steps the subject looks good and then we'll go now i look good. thank you sir, but the people i always people good or for i like the room. right? all depends on the day care. so they fit in. going to bed in kenner, the one that they will generate,

some of them are well 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 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, it's, 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 look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law shows alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to trace a trust, rather than fit the job. i mean, with the artificial intelligence, we have so many with him in the a robot most protects his phone existence. with alexis
