we're worried about small things and what you should be worried about, the bigger problems of the right in front of our faces. instead of turning a blind item, the love was somewhere around $80000.00 people that are an house. here's the problem that be now house me coming different forms because there's some people that are leaving or cars. there are some people that are pretty much going from one living room to another living room, whatever day 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, we have a homeless out being done right now. the accounting hominy on the 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 chest last year alone. the amount of all homeless rose by 12 percent in california right is the rent is to get the rent is damn high. the rent is too high. the, the, the, the, the rent, the, the. 8 so we turned in over a 115000 signatures to get it the initiative on the ballot to expand control that to be on the california ballot in november 24th. and the apartment association is trying to opposing that industry and try to stop

a been trying to stop us. we also deliver it 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, they're, what the california apartment association is doing is they're trying to put in initiative. i'm with valley, which basically says that a childcare foundation cannot put their own initiative on the ballot to expand rent controlled or anything around the house. so they're hurting tenants, and also a child cost clinics in $45.00 different countries across the world. and they're trying to strip a just as a non profit, simply because they don't want rent control 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 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, but yet i had taxes to pay. i had insurance to pay, i had maintenance to keep up, and i just pay them 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 them? somebody take care of you care, complain at the grocery store complained that your medicine is. why is it just the landlord?

the some small landlords. i'm thinking about landlords that have, you know, a couple of units. they're worried as well because with a high risk go up with corporate driving the the rates are to keep up with it. so these 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 businesses, the affect, 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 terminated like 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, because 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 pay the rent. somehow. somehow i feel like criminal is renting a sitting. i really do. my name's walking mother golf. i'm 51 years old. i'll be 52 in april and i've been homeless off and on us 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 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 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 how 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. seriously, i got this. no calvin's lines, i get on through the disease like a 180 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 subtract 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, these things on them. so we're, i've been out here in california in hollywood for probably about 10 years, about 10 years,

and i have yet to get 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 got a very expensive criminal background look at 19 fillings on my records. what i'm not trying to, i 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 really know. do you mind you might be a might be around town? no, no big one is that again, just making a wireless. i said 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 like the 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, a wondering 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 things mobile show us like you'll 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 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 that through. so fall on a 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, i guess, different one 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 hot showers. okay. yeah. so i was giving it a lot of our own lives. i am

a god to apply for a shower to you. yes, i did the shower the differences, economic differences between groups, race groups, particular are huge. and these stars from 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,

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 the immigrants are here. most of them don't speak english. 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 want for, for several blocks here 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. they start fresh vegetables, they would pick 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 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 if you think about russia, what does your mind picture the landscapes open up before your eyes?

the last one, just imagine the, the discounts dodge the journey. the are you ready to come along the way? the not a stumble present? let us, let me understand. um your previous needs the because the bills but so they all go with them right now if i have someone available at the finance underscore costs of studio mostly from you know, from jennifer marshall bible for most of these invited me and move nice see from us the new, the new processing and the whole course, an uber a bit is he tossed

a bit example to at least give that or is not just it's a good question chef of it for you. my shift, the cost of somebody that you'll have to issue with and associated with a new this. so this the specimen that us for $57.00 for assuming they said it's uh, somewhere cool that will suffice. or they have a in the dress. it was so the sluggish, this issue will be score nimble at the suddenly ish, the homeless. his home is a, we're having a problem is only about $0.50 a month right for him enjoy. holding for 6262, you've been calling us for a while. that's in you for many years see 10 years so i'm just

people who like to go ahead and poke. you have to pay the pension deal. we're right here to help with only getting some really low. god bless you the the gap 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 jobs, and some of them have good jobs, but they can not make ends meet foreclosure. we're right now. we'll go through it. one is the last. the 1st. how can i

do i have i just leave my hands. chargeable to? no. no, no. i'm 40. no, i'm not. i'm not here. tom, this this where there's a real bad day 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? yeah, yeah. hard 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 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 are working to 3 jobs and still not enough because the cost of living also has increase

for the 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. 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, 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 that you just sent me shelves. are you thinking about the ssl? that 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 putting up with the bull since 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. okay. not a good thing, have you guys seem to be fine and we,

i want to see this about time after work for 6 people that already you know, they learned on yeah. yeah. i know i really don't know and, and then people go up missing and they don't even talk, sit and see nothing about it. you remember the letter one was 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 going to program and all sorts of less 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 or is that stipulated as soon as i have 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 they'll buy it doesn't make me better as a 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 either with that. you know, so they spend 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 work. does $1000000.00 a year. the sell a baby. tell me you're looking for low read our movies 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 working on manifestation. i made it as a limit of as of 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 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. its hard, hard to go in every area, every neighborhood, everywhere and seeing and countless, 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 this since the subject looks good and then for the now i look good. thank you. so, but the people, i always people good or turn the room. right. all depends on the day how fit in going to bed in kenner. wanted to do a dinner 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 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 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 take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real live indians. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the they will just need to just include

the basement was broken into components, just like a dresser and put all the state gradually saving the most of us to call you. so put you in for a visit to any doctor, people to the rubbish, to rubbish cubes that are in your particular use or, you know, when you close out any of the stuff, please have taken poison person. your coffee square 0 to media is to me on the will so we should, they will glad shoppers to switch to issue worse name has to do now to them. so let's go ahead and we'll put on this line that if they're doing a survey sort of going on here. and there must be sort of, you know, near to ask you sort of your internet service your, through the

suite. the nice the what so striking for me is this congressman in california, where are some people at so reach and other people are very low making them. and that's a, that's a call cost of the whole united states that there's of worried about for, for, i don't know, $400.00 people that have all the more income than 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 controlling everything they want to keep people under.
