3:34 pm
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 right is the rent is to get my rent is damn high. the rent is too damn high the the, the, the, the rent, the on the. 8 so we turned in over a $115000.00 signatures to get it the 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
3:35 pm
trying to stop us. we also delivered over 732006, the governor of california, governor newsome, asking him not to oppose this measure. how are they trying to sell 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 it's a top case 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 charts hot clinic in 45 different countries across the world. and they're trying to show something non profit simply because they don't want rent control the. my name is gina. i am a small mom, landlord and i, we have
3:36 pm
a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords all greeted. 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 leave. 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 is 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 them? somebody take care of healthcare. complaint at the grocery store, complain that your medicine is. why is it just the landlord?
3:37 pm
so most me, landlord, i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, couple 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 land. unfortunately, the affects the small business as the effect, the small landlords. so we're here 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've raised the price up of things in places where it goes
3:38 pm
missing all the time to cover it. that's probably the way rent is getting so high because half the people who live are never paid to rent. somehow. somehow. i feel like criminals are in the city. i really do. my name's walking mother golf. i'm 51 years old, will 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 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 wages to catch 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,
3:39 pm
it's a little, there's a little bit more to it than just uh, you know, making a decision 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 it. no, tell me the lines i get on through the disease like a 180 or like a year and i just don't. it doesn't look like i need to be honest, honestly. know what the cost of living out this month or to subtract them. uh yeah . so matter of your work or 40 our job, our week 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 and hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years,
3:40 pm
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 crew, i've got a criminal background and i've got a very expensive criminal background look at 19. so in the summer record, i'm not trying to mean these for the there's not i can't get any decent things. uh, tell them that there's 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 we don't hear from you might, you might be a, might be, you know, don't know, like a big one. but it says that we can use making a wireless ha, that he said he was at the end of the low. you go, what do you do full leaving? i'll 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
3:41 pm
screen writing. i'm trying to get a degree and screen writing. i am the one to develop my own uh, my own screen place. for production. i have good work. i want an award for my uh, spring place uh in 22 for one screenplay that i wrote in 2021 from pen america. and um, 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 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 los angeles. and what we do is we take these mobile shortlist. i can see over here the various different locations, we have approximately 50 sites in los angeles. we pocket in locations where it's
3:42 pm
close to folks, so i experiencing homelessness. and we offered 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 that through so fall on a full sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which coffee shop will let them just let them use the bathroom. but when he come 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? well, it's good. it's always good to have your the hutch down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah, it's always good. we get a hot challenge only is that my god apply fresh
3:43 pm
shower to to yes, i did the 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 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
3:44 pm
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 the mcarthur park union district of los angeles, this one, the most underserved communities in los angeles. atlanta immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. uh we have uh here 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 want 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 was happening is that before prior to we having an appointment system, people used to be here. i mean, like, i literally spend the night here waiting for us to open. so we decided to do an
3:45 pm
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 uh, products done here. and they do serve it 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 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 a homeless. his home is a rear. i have a,
3:46 pm
the problem is only about $0.50 in my right. where i'm enjoying old a. 6262. you've been homeless for a while. continue for many years. see 10 years some people who like play and poke. you have to pray that hey, fish a deal. where am i right here the getting some really low versus 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 the that they exist,
3:47 pm
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? i know how do i i just leave my hand. charger boom. boom. yeah. can you see the home for it? oh hi. tom this a this where the days got
3:48 pm
a bad day tomorrow. right. man, that he yeah. the you enjoy it. i want to can you hold on a 2nd? the right 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?
3:49 pm
you work with interior design or the was it worth coming here? yeah. hard. the higher able to see of the flight to afford a place here. not many people can want to work to do like if you were not able to afford you know, of course, you know, 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 or get diseases and mental illness insecurity. the numbers
3:50 pm
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 of the cost of living also has increase the think $3500.00 for one bedroom. it was way across the street apartment. yeah, they just, they just billed 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 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 is people, they can't co habits,
3:51 pm
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 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 in the shelves. are you thinking about this is 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. put it up.
3:52 pm
was supposed to last week. um um and gave kelly. i think her name of the day or the give her um what is the the, the non non warranty in regards to, to be fine. and we, i want to see this about time after like 46 people then already, you 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 to sit and see nothing about it. you remember the one with the rabbit she had when missed and 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 shelter. so how you didn't they don't care about where about nothing. all the program i'm gonna have programming job sought to plus is little bit like
3:53 pm
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, this rate your income you as soon as i said that since i had the time to try to move out most people in my apartment, i do a met and crack. are they more and more people become his name was no, there's none of the co bags and then he'll buy. it doesn't make me 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.
3:54 pm
you know, so they spend a lot of money and even government government, yes. does spend a lot of money on the labor very little rent has just really taken off the 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 rent 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'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 with 40 or
3:55 pm
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 come to hollywood, get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000 looks like like, guys 1000000 right here. the sell a baby for me. you're looking for low read our movies
3:56 pm
because people come out here fall 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 made it as a limit of as a right now already body for me. i 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 local. now i welcome to welcome to dreamland for james and 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. it's hard,
3:57 pm
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 your 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 sense the subject looks good and then for now i look good. thank you sir. but you, people are always people good or for not much room.
3:58 pm
right. all depends on the day how i can fit in going to bed in kenner. wanted to do a dinner, 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 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 are available that was subsidized for some of the housing. but not everybody gets it. this is why people i sold these harden
3:59 pm
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 the, what is part of the, the employee would post that isn't the defense you of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present during that stop without collision. is that spelled
4:00 pm
out of the 4 people are killed in the 41 that has these are all targets to port cities in the through the controlled font of gammon with infrastructure and power plants coming under fi. and these are on the assassination of hezbollah. lita half and the throttle, i evokes outrage around the world with prowess and marching in protest against escalating user id valid ends in the region. 2 years since explosives followed through the node stream gas pipelines remains unclear exactly who was responsible for the sabotage. although moscow remains convey the western hands.
