Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Simon meets with Amy, one of the tens of thousands of homeless people living in L.A. Unlike others, Amy has chosen a particularly precarious place to settle: inside a train bridge.
Simon Reeve continues his journey through the Americas. In this second leg, Simon is in the United States travelling down the Rocky Mountains from Montana to Colorado. In the wide-open prairies of Montana, the cowboy way of life is under threat from a long-term decline in the rural economy, but Simon meets a former Silicon Valley executive who has envisaged a new future for the land. The hugely ambitious American Prairie Reserve is attempting to turn three million acres of former ranches, farms and public lands into a protected habitat for America’s wildlife, reintroducing iconic species long extinct, including the North American bison. It is a move being welcomed by native American groups still living under the shadow of historical injustice.

I think there's alot of people who are 1-2 Paychecks away from being Homeless. It's a real shame with Billions of Dollars wasted in the US by the people who COULD help the situation, thing is that their (Politicians) way of life is good and their paychecks are intact by NOT doing anything for those people, it's not in their "Professional Best Interest" to take money out of their hands.

That's exactly how I feel about my last job. I work and I thought the money was okay, but then I realize that it was because I was living with my parents and didn't have to pay rent. Then I realize if I paid rent, I'd be left with just enough to eat and just enough to survive my next paycheck, rinse and repeat but going nowhere and I'd keep doing it until I retire. That thought alone made me really ponder my whole life. Just because you're alive doesn't mean you're really living.

The funny thing is that most of these people chose to live like this cause they dont want to pay rent or there bills. This is very dangerous. And im glad they kicked her out. She needs to stop being lazy and work and stop living for free when the rest of us have to pay. When she goes to the doctors who do you think pays for that? When she needs food who pays for that? WE DO! She can move to a less cost of living place. Im sorry but no sympathy for someone who can get a job but choses not to.

Even being homeless, she's still care for the hygiene, cleanliness, politeness, comfy, etc & most importantly she's still have very strong sense of arts where she decorated everything colorful especially when she hung the Napoleon Bonaparte pictures out of Nat Geo books. It means she got the Napoleonic spirit that keep her fighting for her life where the real life is like actual battlefield. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen done by homeless person. Totally Love & Respect. I hope someone could employ her at Historical Museum or Library & give her a hostel nearby the work area. Godspeed survivors

Akash Sharma First, I had to strip everything: I needed income and I needed to stop using meth. I lost my career. Then my house. Car. Sanity. My husband stayed at my side, which was a blessing. I went to every shelter and HUMBLY asked for help. I got my HIV under control. I stopped using meth. Then I said to the universe that I’m outta ideas. The very next day, a couple of beds opened up at a temporary shelter. We went from shelter to shelter. We hoteled a bit. Then, finally, we got a spot at a transitional housing. We were considered a family unit, so we were placed with families. That, in itself, was eye-opening. A whole family would be in trouble. Parent. Children. Grandparents. We even had a few Iranian refugees.

I disagree with her. Americans in general have empathy. It is only a very small percentage of people who are psychopath/sociopaths. In the country, we give people extra food or leftovers, or just donate canned food. The primary disagreement is that welfare should come from government. Right now, the "Federal Reserve" (which is privately owned), "loans" money to the government by creating it out of thin air, invests it in smart and talented people, and then passes the debt to the general public through INFLATION. Taxes go to shareholders of stock of the central banks (the rich) as a payment towards the principle of the "loan". It's not really a "loan" though, because they create the money. They never risked anything and they didn't have to first earn the money before having it. This is called the fractional reserve banking system. The primary disagreement between "liberals" and "conservatives" (completely useless labels, really) is that liberals believe that giving the entire general public ever increasing amounts of negative money in the future for cash and prizes now is the correct thing to do, while conservatives believe charity should be done voluntarily through community efforts rather than at government gunpoint. We already have socialism, and the biggest lie about socialism is that it is for the poor. It isn't, it is designed to perpetuate the wealth of the rich (dividends, tax breaks, weaponized legislation, interest) and the poverty of the poor (inflation, overdraft fees, taxes). It's socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. Teach a man to fish.. but see, the current fishermen (investors) don't want competitors, so they sell you socialism so that they can get quantitative easing handouts from the fed and tax you to support their business, and use government death squads to destroy their business competitors.

Its not about something that Americans understand. Its something that our politicians cant seem to understand. They think that taxing MANY, MANY things on the working people to death is the solution to all poverty. They dont realize that by doing so creates future poverty and increases further when the average working joe cant even pay for his own basic living expenses anymore and have to pay for someone else (usually an illegal immigrant or some who has already been abusing on welfare). So the resulting logic is, why try to struggle and live like that when the government can support me? And creates even MORE poverty and homelessness. Remove the taxes and regulations and see what happens. People will have meaning to work again and to actually live instead of just surviving.

I’m sorry but from what I can see, you do not have a good enough safety net (social welfare) to rely on. I’m speaking from experience of Australian system which has these well defined and protected. Our poor are mostly housed and supported much better. I hope and pray that it improves, because decent people are suffering.

There are hundreds of these bridges in L.A., all of them covered in graffiti. It's not a secret that homeless people occupy them. The government doesn't give a shit if homeless people exist, just as long as middle and upper class America doesn't have to see them being homeless.

@ThePariss333 some of the people on homelessness situation are here because of the 2008 Financial crisis... They had a job a family a home. But then came the bank reckoning or the company they worked for all their life went under. So I advise you to stop generalize on your experience. We're all different with different story. But hey, they're homeless which for you means automatically Lazy so F*ck them... Huh!? Get some help mate, or stop watching toxic people indoctrinating you.
