the, the, i mean everyone is chasing the same dream. everyone is doing the same thing. having to get a job, making it rich, major savvy money that lose 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 gonna overwhelm the population. and when that happens, where's the money going to come from?
11:31 am
seriously we're, it, we're, we're, we're ready is what 70000000000 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 was somewhere around 80000 people that are an house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there's 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 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, sharing los angeles right now there's, there's a, as we speak, are we have
11:32 am
a homeless out being done right now. the counting, how many on house before leaving 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, uh to the point that the numbers chairs 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 time the the, the the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand rent
11:33 am
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 $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california. governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. the transitional people. so what they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm a valley which basically says that a top case on the same, to not put their own initiative on the ballot to expand right, control or anything around the housing. so they're hurting tenants. and also a chart cost clinic in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to show something non profit simply because they don't want.
11:34 am
the my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i always have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of liter. 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 wait. 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 cheaper, 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 that? somebody take care of you care, complain at the grocery store complained that your medicine is,
11:35 am
why is it just the landlord so most me, landlord, i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple of units. they're worried as well because with that high risk go 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 rates are the corporate landlord. unfortunately, the fix the small business as the effect, the small landlords. so we're here 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 stimulated by corporate landlords that wanna take their properties as well. the housing rates are going to keep going up, like if you go to a guess,
11:36 am
thank you to 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 in places where it goes missing all the time to cover it. that's probably the way rent is getting so high because half the people who live there never paid the rent. somehow. somehow, i feel like criminal is running a city. i really do me. my name is joaquin mother 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 way? 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 way just to catch up to what the prices are for for rent. a person
11:37 am
just kind of 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. mean 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 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. serious and i got this. no telling juanza i get on through the disease like a 180 or 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 subtract them. uh yeah. no matter if you work or 40 arrow job arrow, week job. you know me if i have to anybody out there and get all of these
11:38 am
histories on them. so weird. 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 extensive criminal background look at 19000 is i'm gonna record it. 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. tell me a girl. we don't, well, you don't say here's filling out and you might, you might be a, might be, you know, don't know. like says that we can use making a wireless. ha that he said he was in the
11:39 am
whole thing was you girl? what do you do for leaving? oh, do. i'm going to sound go to school. i go to lumpy city college for this 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. i went and 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 screen writing. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number for the phone, an executive director of the shower, full. and like the name says, we provide mobile show us to people who are experiencing homeless those same as los
11:40 am
angeles. and what we do is we take things mobile. so as 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 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. if the full to sleep on our streets, it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which a coffee shop will let them just like 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 bus 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?
11:41 am
oh, it's good. it's always good to go. i got a hutch down. they have hot showers. okay. yeah, yeah, it's always good to get a lot of our own lives and my god apply for a shower to you. yes, i did get a bridge. so 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, food 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, it's all our neighborhoods of, of,
11:42 am
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 that 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 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 port 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
11:43 am
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 going to find any, any fresh or uh, 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 man,
11:45 am
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. some people who 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? god bless 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 he doesn't exist. we have people coming to our food banks that have
11:46 am
11:47 am
11:48 am
you work? interior design or the was it worth coming here? yeah. pard, able to see off the flight to afford a place here. not many people can worth what to do. like if you're not able to afford your partner like what they're doing, they succeed. 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
11:49 am
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 for the 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 a one bedroom, the $13500.00. that's what we have to deal with. so that affects everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that feeling in these things are but why then there's a voice to be, sir, if you're not able to afford the leaving the right there to this people they can't co habits,
11:50 am
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 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 take some is, do you already exist in the shelves? are you thinking about this? well that was the right thing. one of the houses were there for people die room, so nearby. john is the same way we met them there. they're still there. what do you
11:51 am
know possible since last week? um um and gave kelly. i think her name the day or the give her um, what is the the, the non non warranty knocking thing. have you guys seem to be fine? and we, i want to see this about time after 46 people that already passed away. and now 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 model one with the rabbit she have when miss and, and i was like, oh, she had went to the hospital or with the jail as she spoke to somebody. and nobody knew where she was in need of them line. they found her date space and not too far from the shelter. so how you doing? they don't care about uh where about nothing. all the program. i'm gonna have programs, all sorts of less as little bit like search today and that way. so let's say do
11:52 am
1520 percent of what your income is that by your rent, up in the 30 a month. what is your, your income you, sir, is 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 seamless though they see none of the co bags. and then he'll buy item doesn't make things better as the governor. so the landlord 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
11:53 am
a lot of money. you mean government? government? yes. does spend 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 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, 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. you would have food. you would have a car for now. people are choosing and we're talking about people as for day or
11:54 am
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 does 1000000 a year? the zillow baby for me. i'll be looking for low risk our movies,
11:55 am
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, i'm working on manifesting that i met of 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 what it weighs about. i mean, when you see that house, as you'll see me and it is lend his house for me. welcome to welcome to hollywood local. now i welcome to welcome to dreamland for james. come through the i know 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. its hard,
11:56 am
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 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 say, 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 to go. no, i'm good. thank you sir. but the people i always people good or for? i like the room. right?
11:57 am
the all depends on the day. how can they didn't going to look bad on kenner through the dinner isn't the dinner. 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 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, they are certain programs available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody gets in. this is why people i sold these harden and they have no
11:58 am
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
11:59 am
12:00 pm
support, we choose to look so common ground the the in the headlines throwing off the international. moscow accuses washington and london of walking down the investigation of the old stream pipelines stop at costco. took place exactly 2 years ago and no surprise, rush, just as the west is trying to cover its truck hungry, shoot aggression against russian by any non nuclear states. but with the support of my nuclear states is proposed to be considered as their joint attack on russia. so is it a final warning president put in, lays out major changes to rough as nuclear adult trend, suggesting the use of such weapons in response to a new types of attacks and including long range missiles and drugs and israel buttons, lab, and on for a full consecutive day claiming quote, precise strikes from the capital city baby.
