the, 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 ready is what 70000000000 or something like that. missing in money are democracies falling apart and we're worried about small things. and when you should be worried about the bigger problems that are right in front of our faces, instead of turning a blind item, the love was 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 or some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room. whatever day 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, sharing 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 rent is due

again. hi. this is dan. hi. 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 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 $732000.00 signatures to the governor of california. governor newsome asking him not to oppose this measure. the transitional people. so with their 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, cannot 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. my name is gina. i am a small mom landlord and i have a bit of an issue when they're calling landlords of leaders. 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 what last 4 years. i couldn't raise it $5.00. but

yet i had to pay, i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to cheaper and i had to pay them for dollars to move out. if 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 took care of healthcare. 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 up 6 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 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 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 pay 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 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 wages 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

me. yes. don't get me wrong. i don't look like i'm alone, and i got it. no, tell me once i get on through the disease like a 180. 0 my dear, 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've yet not 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 1970 is i'm gonna record it. i'm not trying to. i mean these probably there's not i can't get any decent things. uh,

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 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, we might be a, might be around town. now. no one says that again, just making a wireless but he said he was at the end of the you girl. what do you do full evening? i'll do. i'm going to go to school. i go to long beach city college or this study. i'm going for film and the spring writing, i'm trying to get a degree in screen writing and uh the one to develop my own uh, my own screen place for production. i have good work. i went and award for my spring play of 20 for one screen size that i wrote in 2021 from penn america. i and

i'm trying to do something with the skills and talent that i have for screen writing. thank you. hi, my name is mailed to the correct number full found 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, 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 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 off the full. so sleep on our streets. it's a constant struggle of looking at which gas station, which a coffee shop will let them just let them 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 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 have your the hutch down. they have fox, our 2nd. yeah. yeah. it's always good. we get a lot of our own lives at my god. supply fresh shower t vs. i did get a break. shower the differences, economic differences between groups, rate scopes 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 flu. and a lot of our communities of color don't have access to healthy food. they just don't. so you see those disparities 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. atlanta immigrants are here. most

of them don't speak english. we have uh 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, well 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 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. they were picked yesterday, so you're not gonna make buying any any fresh or uh, products on 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, syria as a sovereign state has ceased to exist, can the western back h t, s, and other groups establish some kind of central control and, or what ultimately determine the face of the syrians? the homeless. his home is the we're, i have a problem is only about $0.50 in my right where i'm

enjoy old a $6262.00. you've been homeless for a while. it's in you for many years say 10 years. so i'm going to like to go ahead and poke, you have to pay the pension deal, where am i right here to help with only getting some really low versus you the, the get 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 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 knew, you know, how do i i just leave my hands. frankly, both the know yeah. can you see i don't, i'm not the 1st time this this where every i've written days or a bad day. i'm all right man. that he yeah,

the i i was calling to say 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. the why did you come from

a fire to work with interior design or the was it worth coming? yeah, yeah. hard. i are able to see all the flight to afford a place here. not many people can went to work to do like if you were not able to afford your partner. like what you're doing. if 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 of the cost of living also has increase for let's say $3500.00 the 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 data takes everybody along here, the whole community and all the prices go up with. they have people like that building these things up. but why then there's a voice to be, sir, if you're not able to afford the living right there to this 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 a. why do you to text him is do you already exist? any shelter? 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 the day or the give her um what is the the, the non non warranty knocking thing. have you guys to be fine. it's about time after one 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 to sit in see nothing about it. you remember the model one with the rabbit she have 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. 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 programs, all sorts of less as little bit like search 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, as soon as i have the time to try to move out most people in my apartment and do a medicine pratt and then more and more people become a seamless lo there. so then the co bags and then bill by dividing doesn't making better as the 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. they 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, couldn't cutting right here. and there was a time, i mean, i 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 here without food. you would have a car. but now people are choosing, and we're talking about people has 40 hour 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 problem to holly, right? get some of the money. this is 50 k and 1000000. looks like like, guys, 1000000 a year. the zillow baby. tell me you're looking for low risk, our movies. because people come out here for the 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 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 dreams. come through 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 inches shut down. its hard, 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 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 say, 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 to go. no, i'm good. 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 jenner isn't center we're 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'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 in. 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 who, what else seemed wrong? just don't you have to say power and engagement because the trails when so many find themselves world support, we choose to look for common ground. the

a good one you did not to attempt to collect at the extra amount. i thought she sat there for the show and then it will be a job to bluff because you know, all of it is uh, excuse us for the defense. as soon as i pull up the setup button and not the printer and i thought someone did you lose? it asked who i sent. if i see the media and that'll be focused on you to reason, could you say, would you say, did you need a vendor in the service? generally it was working monday morning to work it on stimulus the industry. is it or what's money before the sales? really left, so should william farmer shots might give us who we have court cost or to go or decision they might not have it. what was that man was, what was that ridiculous on the what is the best of them one today and but to the left off, i've also left for the additional to settlement shows. total suspect. pretty sure

can was, i'm fission duty for, she's getting those are the best. do what i mean? there's a proper the street. the nice the, what so striking for me is this contrast. but in california where some people are so resumed, other people are barely making, and that's a, that's a call cost of whole united states. they, there's, what about for, for, i don't know, 400 people that have all the more income than all of us together.
