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 gonna overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from? seriously, we're, 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 we should be worried about, the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind item, the log file somewhere around 80000 people that are on house. so here's
11:32 pm
a problem that be now house me coming different forms because there are some people that are leaving or cars. there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room wherever they 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 los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, we have a homeless out being done right now. the counting, how many on house before leaving 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 chance last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california right is the rent is too
11:33 pm
damn high. the rent is damn high. the rent is too damn time the the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 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, not issue and trying to stop in 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 of what the california apartment association is doing is they're
11:34 pm
trying to put in initiative. i'm with valley, which basically says that it's a top kiss on the same to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand right controls or anything around the 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 show something non profit status 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 call me landlords of liter. you don't hear our side of the story. i have changed very little money. i have a mortgage homeowners insurance and they wouldn't be and, and i couldn't even barely last 4 years. i couldn't raise it $5.00,
11:35 pm
but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to cheaper, and i just paid them. wow. wow, sense of dollars to move out. it's 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 you can complain at the grocery store complained that your medicine is why is it just the landlord? so most me, landlord, i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple units. they're worried as well because with a high risk go up with corporate driving the the rates are to keep up with a so nice affecting them as well. but the fact of the matter is that the ones that
11:36 pm
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 rent controlled to california, it's a positive thing moving forward because they're going to be able to not being terminated by corporate landlords. don't 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 raise a 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 walk in
11:37 pm
mother the golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and been homeless off and on since 2006 and where do you live? right here in this truck? so 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 to what the prices are for for rent a person is trying to get to. and 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.
11:38 pm
i mean yeah, don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone. serious and i got this. no telling one jacket on through the disease, a 180 a little like here and i just on doesn't look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what cost of living out this month or so i'm trying to i'm uh yeah, no matter if you work or 40 our job are we job you know me. if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these, these things are, there is a way i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10 years about 10 years. and i really didn't. 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. you've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19 fillings on my record. i'm not trying to mean these for you. there's not i can't get any decent things up. so i'm
11:39 pm
just trying to get, i'm trying to get funded, get a job with metro. right. and i was 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 hear from you. you might, you might be a, might be, you know, don't know. like a big one is making a wireless but 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. 520 for one screen play that i wrote in 2021
11:40 pm
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 these mobile shortlist, 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 homeless us. and we offer jet them showers even for what the city like los angeles, that's very little public infrastructure. when it comes for you to use a public chavo lelona that through so fall on and so forth. so sleep on our streets
11:41 pm
. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let use the bathroom. but when he comes to show us a lot of our 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 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 the half hours. okay. yeah, yeah, it's always good to get a hot challenge homeless that my god to apply for a shower to yes, i'd be a good shower. the differences, economic differences between groups,
11:42 pm
ray scopes 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, food and 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. there's one the most under served communities in los angeles. i love, i. immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. we have
11:43 pm
a 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 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. they start fresh vegetables, they would pick yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any, any fresh or products done here. and they do serve as the people who serve it and as say, we're very excited about being able to,
11:44 pm
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 man or a fully ukrainian president, zalinski is in the us peddling what he calls a victory plan. unfortunately, this plan doesn't speak for peace and security. in fact,
11:45 pm
zalinski and his nato patrons have only one goal to keep the counseling going. n well funded. this approach is a defeat for ukraine. i'm homeless and then his home is the we're, i have a problem is only about $0.50 in my right. what i'm enjoy old a 6262. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years, say 10 years. so i'm going to feel like for example, you have to pay the pension deal. where am i right here to help with on getting some really low versus 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
11:46 pm
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 it . one is the last. no. how can i do i i just leave my hands. thank you. bye. bye. the film
11:47 pm
11:48 pm
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 and i are able to see of 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?
11:49 pm
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 a possibly 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 for a one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so the side effects everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up. when they have people like that,
11:50 pm
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's this, the 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. so they said it's a, 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 the body to text messages. you know what i mean?
11:51 pm
just the michelle through thinking about this is the right thing. wonder where they are for people die room. so nearby john, this is james white. we met them there. they're still there putting up was the boss last week 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 all want to see this about time after one or 6 people that already say what they learned in on. yeah, yeah. i know, i really don't know and, and then people go 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 then they was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as you folks come back and nobody knew
11:52 pm
where she was. they made them line, they found her date space and not too far from the shelter. so how you didn't they don't care about uh where about nothing, all the program i'm gonna have programming job sort of less as little bit like service and in that way. so let's say do 1520 percent of what your income is that you rent up in the 30 a month, your income. you. as soon as i stipulated that since i had time to try to move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine pratt, and then more and more people become seamless though they see none of the co bags and then they'll buy your bite and doesn't make it better as the governor. so the level to lower the rent.
11:53 pm
we know that the numbers are high and there's a lot of money that comes a lot. the money is blown away and varies. we see very little come out with that. you know, so this 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 on 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 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, 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 in and have
11:54 pm
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'd have a car, but now people are choosing and we're talking about people as for day or 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 approach simple 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
11:55 pm
sell a baby. so me be looking for low, read our movies because people come out here. father, a dream says their dreams. obviously 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. so me and i'm, i'm working on manifestation, i made it as women. if there's a right now already body for me, i'll look at it. i visualize it. i know the address. i mean, that's the way it lies about me. 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 for dreams. come through the
11:56 pm
i know honestly it's probably hard to 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 just shut down. and it's hard, hard to go into 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 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 of the subject.
11:57 pm
looks good to go. no, i'm good with. thank you sir, but the people i 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. one of the top 10 areas 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 exist, that they've been taking away. so he's very difficult. i know people that have retire with the kind of retirement checks that they get. he can not keep up
11:58 pm
with a cause of rent. so now they living in their carts after working all their lights, and yes, they 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 what the rest of the, i mean, the thought on, i mean i was trying to meet you was how your ship was traveling since the mid, obviously a hair dresser, a bus driver, a sales person,
11:59 pm
anyone could become a victim. that's how private negotiators fast opin destiny steele. pretty much what am i look forward to speaking with douglas? ok. no, no, no, no. yes. that's the reason why you believe the, by the name on that, on those over those are learning isn't or decrease useful mid, soon on from the yes to the studies boys took over the series, make these things here. news in the middle that they say quiz to us in the womb. this includes the,
12:00 am
[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter lavelle, former ukrainian president zelinski is in the us peddling what he calls a victory plan. unfortunately, this plan doesn't speak to peace and security. in fact, zalinski and his nato patrons have only one goal to keep the conflict going and well funded. this approach is a defeat for ukraine,
