These Homeless Camps In California Are Beyond Belief

I have never seen anything like this in all my travels.
I’ve seen a lot of homeless camps in my day. I travel a lot, and if you’ve been followin along, a lot of my focus has been on this mess, right here in the good ole’ USA. California has by FAR the biggest homeless crisis. It’s just out of control here, and keeps getting worse.
This was Day 6 on the road trip, and up to that point, I saw a lot of terrible. But it was in San Jose and Sacramento where I stumbled onto some of the craziest stuff I’ve ever seen.
This, though, was the oddest thing I think I’ve ever seen while on the road. It was 10 am on a random Sunday, and I was walking around a huge homeless camp not too far from the capitol building.
I’m guessing a few hundred people live here.
The weirdest part is, there was no one around. Just me

California has become so expensive that a lot of people can easily wind up homeless. And now with the current inflation many people may wind up homeless because an economic recession is very likely in the near future. That said, these homeless encampments are people that are drug addicts and alcoholics.

I was in a big city in the south-west, used to pass a couple of homeless guys every morning. So one morni g I bought them a coffee and a cheeseburger. I spoke mainly to one of them, asking his story. He said he had worked for forty years in a factory, collecting metal pieces in a mobile skip, had lived in a boarding house mostly. The factory had closed, he moved out of the boarding house, finished up on the street. He looked over 60, so how was he ever going to get a job? There are many like him. Just had a little job, didn't ask much of life. Government globalist policies ruined his life. They make billions making stuff in low-wage and low taxation countries. We leave 80 billions in Afghanistan, send billions to Ukraine, while Ukranian elites cavort in Ferraris in Monaco. There is something wrong with our priorities!

In the very early 80’s, when NAFTA was enacted, it was the beginning of sending U.S. manufacturing & jobs overseas. It’s had a devastating effect on Americans ever since. In 2017, Trump immediately began the process of renegotiating & forcing China & Mexico to finally “pay the piper” ( the U.S.). Trump said, “No more free lunches on American taxpayer backs, America first !” Of course Biden threw a wrench into that right away. We’re looking at 40yrs of poverty in these photos.

I was just fishing around a little pond on the Massachusetts/Rhode Island border. Literally the pond is split on the border. The spot where we parked and followed the path to the pond is beautiful and everything you’d expect from a little pond in the woods. As we walked around the pond. We came across what looked to be an illegal dumping site. I was like wow! Scumbags dumping trash in the woods! My cousin said laughing. No! This was the homeless camp that the city came in and shut down. What!? When? Almost two years ago. WHAT! TWO YEARS AGO??! Microwaves and appliances and clothes and everything you’d need to make a home. Rotting into the ground. No one wants to take responsibility for it and clean up the site. It’s nasty! Needles all over the place. It would be at least 3-4 30yd dumpsters and the manpower to get it done. But outta sight outta mind I guess. I really feel bad for the homeless. It’s a situation that I pray never happens to me or anyone. But the leftover sites are a nasty mess and if the city is going to kick the people out. Then the city needs to go in and clean it up!

California was once upon a time a different state, different people, different era, different time, different styles, different values, different world. The California I once knew, lived, saw, heard, even smelled was like paradise compared to today. 25¢ a gallon gasoline, $100 a month rent, no lease. No security deposit, no first and last, all utilities included, except your $3 a month landline corded telephone. Food dirt cheap. The cost of living was easily affordable. A once vibrant state turned 3rd world. But then USA TITANIC is sinking slowly but surely now and will sink faster soon next year.

Where I live, we had a homeless tent camp (no vehicles or RVs) of about 100 people. The city provided dumpsters and porta-pots. Ultimately the trash was waste deep in this camp even though dumpsters were provided. In addition, much of that trash is full of human feces even though porta-pots were provided. The camp was so unsanitary that it had to be closed. The city estimates that 100 dump trucks of trash needs to be removed at a cost of $300,000. And, the workers removing the waste must wear special protective clothing to avoid becoming infected.

Did you record any of that data? This is what we need to find out - where were those people born, where did they move from, how did they end up in California. What you say is what I suspected that Republican states have a deliberate plan to break California by setting fires and shipping homeless vagrants there. Several political figures in Texas play these games bussing illegals/ immigrants up to the Vice President's house and dropping them off, also to Martha's Vinyard, etc. I think DeSantis plays this political game also. It's all driven by greed... this has caused a huge influx of California money into Texas with corporations and employees relocating to Texas. The cost of living and homeless blight are driving residents in droves to other states.

You and many of your viewers have no idea how easy it is to become homeless. I made a lot of money starting one of the biggest call centers in Orange County. I sold my half of the business and moved to Oregon. My mistake was not saving or investing money intelligently. My fiance started having severe mental issues and became convinced by the voices in her head that I needed to leave the apartment I was paying for. She reported me for domestic abuse despite the fact I never laid a hand on her. By law I couldnt be in contact with her. I found myself freezing cold sleeping in my van thanking God I had a vehicle. Four years earlier I was in the highest tax bracket. I wasn't on drugs. I didnt have mental issues. This kind of thing can happen to anyone. Be nice to the people you meet on your way to the top you never know who you meet on your way to the bottom.

I worked with the homeless many years with different organizations. People don't realize that a lot of homeless are not what you expect. There are a lot of homeless children, teens and families. There are also a lot of homeless veterans and adults with disabilities. It's a complex issue because every homeless person is different and has a different circumstance. A lot are trying to escape an abusive household or circumstance (runaways like kids and teens or battered wives and so on). The economic crisis is making things worse. Where I am in Arizona we have many of these encampments popping up. Local government just keeps stealing money but none goes to help the people. Typical stuff. Also let this sink in: we are giving billions to illegal/ non citizens to live in 5 Star hotels but we can't find housing for these people. It's a disgrace.

There are approx. 700K people homeless in the USA as of late 2023. Of those, about half are in California, and almost 70% of that half live on the streets (FYI, it is approx. 5% in NY). The golden state has spent around $20B through 2024 in programs to fight homelessness. If you divide that money for the number of “affordable” housing units created, the cost of each is around $1.4M (scattered all over the state). And as we all know, the number of homeless folks has only increased since COVID. I let you ponder why it has to be so expensive to aid poor people (and if there is no other way to be more effective).

You can be homeless and not be nasty in the environment you keep. I met some families at the soup kitchen I helped out and I was amazed to come across some families who are homeless yet so tidy. They keep a drum to throw and burn their trash. One drum to keep rain water. They dug holes a distance away from where they are to use as restrooms. I have had a very hard life and know any of us can be in a situation in a minute and not everyone is able bodied to do so but many chose to live in a messy situation. Some chose drugs over their lives and families, and some have no one and one choice but to be on the street but what I notice is for many following the rules to stay in the facilities provided to them by the city is a problem so they stay on the streets. Perhaps if they kept it clean the city might of considered letting then stay but dirty environment becomes hazards.

this breaks my heart. my brother-in-law had a stable living with my husband before we were married, but for whatever reason he chose to leave to live on the streets. I know people may be thinking his brother may have done something, but nothing we can think of. he was an adopted child from Vietnam at 4 years old and later an alcoholic, probably from PTSD. he had several times in his life come home to later leave to live the streets. we always welcomed him back when he was ready, and our kids loved him. he sadly died alone at 42 in a basement from internal bleeding. he will be forever missed. it was very difficult lesson to learn that he wanted to live this life or could not live another life at his time. he has good times despite what one would think.

They don't have affordable housing in California anymore because the U.S., one of the stupidest countries in the world, allowed FOREIGNERS to buy houses by the millions. Over a million communist Chinese have a U.S. green card, and most of them chose to buy in California (and New York). No other country in the world allows you to fly in on a tourist visa and buy a home or strip mall. It is not reciprocal for Americans. If you go to Asia, you are PROHIBITED from buying a house. This foolishness drove up home prices in California and drove the American families out of affordable housing. (I have friends who witnessed communist Chinese -- CCP members -- paying $400,000 in CASH for a home. Nobody checks on whether that was corruption or bribery money.)

The wealth gap is insane in Los Angeles, and buying a house is out of reach for even people making 6 figures a year.
