on 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 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 the blind, i'd love to. 7 somewhere around 80000 people that are an house. here's the 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, me 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 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 too damn high. the rent is damn high. the rent is too damn time the the, the, the, the rent, the, the so we turned in over a $115000.00 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 its opposing this 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 the, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm with the alley, which basically says that it's a top kiss 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 junk house clinic in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip into something non profit simply because they don't want rent control. the,

the, my name is gina. i am a small mom landlord and i have 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 of it. 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 just paid them. wow, wow, sense of dollars to move out? it's not there. where is our side of the protection? should be mad at the government and to the government to pay their rent. why should i have to take care of? somebody take care of health care complaint at the grocery store complained that your medicine is,

why is it just the landlord by me landlord. so 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 landlord. 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 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 walking by 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 trucks? 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's 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 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 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. seriously, i got this. no telling fines i get on through the disease of a 180. 0. like here and i just on does it look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what cost of living out this month for some of them. uh yeah. no matter if you work or 40 arrow job arrow, week job. you know me if i have to know anybody out there and get all of these

histories on them. so we'll, i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years, and i have yet to do it. and i've been on the list to get housing for like 3 years . i've got a criminal, i have got a criminal background. and i got a very expensive criminal background look at 19 fillings. i'm over at the new. i'm not trying to mean these for you. there's not i can't get any decent paying job. 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 came here put in the door for this shit the same life is how many are we doing? well, you don't say yes, the ceiling now, do you mind? do you mind mind being on june? no, no like says, i think he's 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 sound, 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, i went in 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 the 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 in 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 full to white experiencing homelessness. and we offer gen 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 lelona bathroom. so fall off the phone to sleep on a free it's, 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, i guess if it was for us, only have access to shut 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. they have hot showers. okay. yeah, it's always good to get a hot you on homeless and my god apply for a shower to 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, 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 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 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 underserved 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, put in the table. and people have very little resources. most of them actually want for, for several blocks here or to, to come to the pantry 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 that would pick yesterday, so you're not going to 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 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 model was room that was for concurrent and you were still was 0. so it was reason your torch and that's what criteria will do there it is due to the coming of the way

a so stuck in unless much size it still can you have such on this post? somebody just still fits as a me when you cut another that just let me see if i told you that and maybe get those the rest for you when you get to work and what to do. multiple, we cost as a how do you, to the hosting? what are you shipping? this is the fundamental difference in mentality between the people of nova russia and the inhabitants of oma, keven rose's capital, a sized western regions, the full mustangs of peace, not silence. and for equality, the latter stands the exceptionally, some was in the course of the quote kind of option. the

homeless for them as home was a rear. i have an 8. $75.00 is only about $0.50 a month, right? for them enjoy old a $6262.00. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years. so i'm just gonna go right ahead and poke. yeah. so pray that hey, fish a deal. where am i right here, the getting some really low version you the, the gap continues to grow. you know, we saw back in the eighty's and ninety's due 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 these are things that 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, i'm good. how can i do i have i just leave my hand right now. thank you. bye. the the the can you see the you know, on the 1st time this

this where birthdays are a bad day. all right man, that he yeah. the i want to can you hold on a 2nd 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 here? yeah. hard. i able to see all the flight a jeff, what 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 a 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 working to 3 jobs and still not enough because of the cost of living also has increase for their say, $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah. they just they just bills 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 dining sites, everybody around here, the whole community and all the prices go up with they have people like that feeling these things up. but why then does it worth 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 along 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 saying the same 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 her why the to text him is, do you already exist in the south? are you thinking about this? well that was the right thing. one of the houses were there for people die room,

so nearby. jack is the same way. we met them there. they're still there, but it up was 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 non non warranty and not seeing anything. have you guys seem to be fine and we, i want to see this about time after for 6 people didn't already know they 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 try sit and see nothing about it . you remember the model one with the rabbit she had when missed 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 date space and 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 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 said that since i have some time, i'm so tired of move out. most people in my apartment, i do a met and crack are there 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 things better as the governor. so the level or 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 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, 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 without 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 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. tell me you're looking for low read our movies . because people come out here. father, i 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 manifest man. i made it as a limit of as a right now. i already bought it 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 welcome to hollywood. welcome to have a welcome to welcome to dreamland for james on through the amino 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 or food or you can do 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 the steps the subject looks good and then for now i would think so,

but the people are always people good or turn the room right. all depends on the day how it is going to look bad in kenner, across the world to attend. there isn't a 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 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 the labor very little or nothing the way obviously using. but if i saw lots of levels easier to i'm sure. the other thing is to know that what's the deal with is the strongest join the moment,

or you look at this moment so we can use the cold dip startups. somebody for each of your best here quickly yet the week of the course of the bill for the from chicago for us. so it's, it's just me, there's only what you're used to suggesting with learning is good news story. not so is when you fill in the ceiling. bye. the. so the the,

[000:00:00;00] the sweet, the nice the, what so striking so means this contracts being california where are some people that so rates and other people are very low make and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states. that there's what about $44.00, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income then 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. uh,
