Love this comment. Thanks for the positivity.

Would you vote for her for a second term?

You be getting paid or work for the democrat party. Go to Downtown LA, Venice, parks, anywhere where there’s factories, under freeways, drug addicts bums. Using tax payers money to support lazy addict bums. You’re only homeless because you want too

I noticed significant improvement in parts of my neighborhood that I did not expect. Karen Bass seems to just be a damn good mayor for Los Angeles I like her and hope she continues to make progress!

What they’re not telling you is that these poor Americans are on the streets because these same people are putting illegals into housing for free TRUMP 2024

Sounds more like they are offering a "solution" to a "problem" that they created...

​​@@WrongThink_ Would that really matter?

@@DarqJestor Absolutely. The same people offering the solution for housing are the same ones with the policies that increased the cost of living to the point that these people had to leave a home they already had to live on the streets. only to have the same people come back around and be like " hey there friend and voter.. I have a nice storage container you can live in"

So do nothing is your solution? So you and others can keep politicizing it? It doesn't matter who created this. Taxing the ultra wealthy at a sane level just like we did decades ago is also a solution that will work.@@WrongThink_

@@WrongThink_ The question is who “they” are. It true they created the problem, but this current crisis is the result of 80 years of continuous work. There is a divide in politics and both sides have had a hand in this. President Eisenhower had just as big a hand in this as any current politician. And neither side has a solution. This is, at best, a temporary mitigation. To the extent it helps these people, I support it. To the extent it makes it easier for everyone to do what they need to do on the streets, also good. But problem solved, it’s over? No.

Venice is a tourist town,you should know better.

@@coachjayy what are you talking about? LOL

Forcing people into hospitals or to take medication against their will is not compassionate. It's violence and a human rights violation. The real problem is there's no affordable housing, it's systemic not an individual failure

@@coachjayy What are you even talking about? Yes, Venice is a tourist destination but it was fraught with homeless people for DECADES. What’s your point?

This is such a scary propaganda piece. You need to go out and see LA right now (03/20/24) - this is not real.

They did the orange ones during covid with the Cares money. There is a video about them on Invisible People.

It's a good start, better than nothing. There are plenty of emthy containers from the Long Beach Port. The city should hold a competition for the creative minds/ scientists to get creative to improve the project, eg. heat, climate control during summer. Bring in solar panels on the roof top, have some sections with rooftop community garden etc. growing vegetables with community efforts, that's a sustainable life! I will totally get involved in this type of projects. There's a county program - TURN, to coach, help people with mental challenges to get back to the job market. They provide interviews clothes and tips, first month bus pass when someone lands a job etc

When visiting the a Netherlands some time back, I saw university housing made of shipping containers. I was very impressed how they could put together a cost effective large structure for many people to securely live in. Finally seeing it here (I’m in Los Angeles) and hope to see more. As long as they don’t make it an eyesore. They must be built well and look nice when done.

@@bijansst Really? You have to be negative about a good thing? Well the GDP of California is so high that if it was its own country it would have the fifth largest economy. So go back to your red state and figure out how to get off of federal welfare. Put your feet down and walk on your own. we are tired of carrying you.

Same thing soldiers lived in while deployed.

Shouldn’t dismiss them even if they ARE drug addicts and/or have mental health problems.

I hate to be this guy but do you think this is just a way of getting the homeless and hidden them away

Exactly. I ended up living in a Toyota Sienna. I work and I'm not on drugs. It's ridiculous.

I hate to be this guy but do you think this is just a way to hidden the homeless away

true. a lot of homeless people work, some even full time. minimum wage is not a humane amount.

London Breed could learn a thing or two

It shouldn't so acceptable to be forced to help ppl who refuse to help themselves.

@@peni1641 How do you know they refuse to help themselves?

​@@01happykatthe majority of the homesless dont want help. They prefer to be in the streets to keep taking drugs and live a "carefree" lives

@@ernestogastelum9123 I agree there are many who prefer life on the streets, but there are also those who don't. I'm all for helping those who have fallen on hard times through job loss, etc. back into housing and to get back on their feet. But let's not assume that all refuse to help themselves. There are also plenty who live in their cars because they can't afford rent. I live in a city where homelessness is a huge problem as well, and I know that not all are on drugs, etc. Some people have a hard time.

@@01happykat alot of homeless are just addicts, whose addiction is funded by taxpayers. In comment section of various yt videos, they themselves have said ' i wanted ppl to leave me alone so I could do my d@ugs'

I live in Hollywood. The problem today is just as bad as it was when Bass took office. When one encampment is cleared, another is setup nearby. This is a propaganda piece.

She’s horrible. All talk.

@@charleslavoie5402Well damn…tell us what the hell you are doing to help with this crisis/situation🤔

Why Yes on One? Is that money rlly gonna go into the right hands? Another thing, why are Many who have been working in Mental Health institutions and advocacy groups afraid it will dismantle 20 years of progress? It will create private mental institutions if I'm wrong. Please inform me if I'm misunderstanding. I'm curious and interested because I will be going to the ballots this March. I'd love to gain perspective on the matter. I'm No on measure 1 but I'm also open to a conversation. I'm just glad you mentioned it. Many ppl I e come across could care less. It's a huge package.

@@anthonyjaurrietaagreed. I’m worried it will take away from mental health care. They need to address housing without taking away from other social services. Like she said at the end, it doesn’t end with temporary housing.

It’s less “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps” and more “We took away your PDF. Try not to drown. Good luck!”

The unspoken part of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is "while we step on your neck..." I remember being a kid in the 80s and it was "get a job and you'll be fine." They added a qualifier to that over time. "Get a GOOD job and you'll be fine..." What do we consider a good job? Apparently, the only "good" jobs are in politics or being rich due to parents. The very foundations of our society (service workers, nurses, teachers, EMTs, construction workers, et cetera) aren't GOOD enough for a wage that allows them to live healthy, happy lives AND save for their futures properly? The sad part is that most a-holes that say Taco Bell isn't a "good enough" job for someone to work fulltime and actually be doing well in the economy are the SAME d-bags that go to Taco Bell to have their food made for them. I know Boomers are thinking that people are just too lazy. Meanwhile, THEY are the ones who drove us into this ever-widening quagmire. It wasn't TikTok dances or green hair...

What shredding of the social safety net? The net is bigger now than ever. We even cover illegal immigrants with it.

@@user-zu5do6ri6rthat’s objectively not true. Neither of your assertions are.

Yes, and the same thing has happened in Canada since we signed NAFTA. Things have gone too far now. A lot of our old established companies were taken over or shut out. Eatons, Hudson Bay Company, the Metropolitan Stores, etc... Our social safety net has been eviscerated, our environmental and consumer protections have been successfully challenged, Prime Minister Harper's admin was promoting Bank investment products and allowed propaganda against the nation's own Canada Pension Plan and OAS, seized our employment insurance fund surplus (employee and employer funded) years ago and reduced our employment Insurance benefit allowance Trudeau increased it but not all the way back to the old more generous rate. At the provincial level, our welfare budgets have been neglected and are currently inhumane, provincial public housing stock was actually neglected at best and/or worse, reduced over 30 years, health care has separated mental health and addictions services apart from regular health care, and health care has been chronically underfunded and has become partly commercialized. For about 30 years now, provincial Liberal and Conservative politicians have been adverse to put limits on rent increases or make eviction laws more humane. Canada now too has huge numbers of homeless people, we've become Americanized. Beware of the international trade agreements like NAFTA or CETA, they do an end run around the democratically enacted laws we brought in through debate and vote, they give corporations too much power because they interfere in our ability to determine own civic governance

is cheaper to live in a shipping container

Sorry, we have endless wars to pay for.

Luxury apartments are for the illegals. Not American's.

@@uonecar What is wrong, if they're cleaned, for the adult homeless to live in abandoned factories, abandoned house, like we had in Philly, do they not have abandoned buildings in LA and just have the plumbing ,electricity updated ?

Isolated public housing created it's own issues. It's part of the solution but there are a lot of pieces to it, including respect for people and living wages.

She’s terrible and crime is out of control here.

​@@PabloTheThinker stfu you're on every comment

Her city is a crime ridden slum.

A politician that gets no results.

The jobs and skills of a big city mayor and a president or governor are wildly different. Like a startup founder versus a F100 CEO. You put her in that abyss of bureaucracy and she’ll be about as effective as Officer Harris.

Great point

The new homeless population is the senior citizen who can't afford rent anymore

If the severely autistic can get placed in group homes, the mentally ill can too.

I agree. She understands the root causes and is dealing with it layer by layer.

Some of these bums don't want to be helped.

I’m not religious but, Yes. She’s doing good.

She does. I work at a place that is for employment and we have funding from her programs. She definitely has multiple plans.

Meanwhile her city is a crime ridden slum

Gotta start somewhere right

I see that by some of the comments. Sad.

I see that by some of the hateful comments here as well talking about I don't care about the homeless. And most of these people are the same ones that tell you that they love Jesus

I support Trump and I’m glad someone is doing something about the homeless crisis in California. I just wish the Governor there would step up.

I wish we would stop paying for endless wars so we could actually help these poor people.

​@@elaknalon23pfft trump supporter oxymoron.

Uhm, not exactly the same thing. Did your friend expect that the family would be burdened with her after their folks passed? It's a *job* and she needs to seek *another* placement, or find her own place, after all, I'm sure she is getting paid for her service and most likely all her expenses, except personal ones, are being taken care of. Sorry, your friend, if she becomes homeless, has only herself to blame, the family has been kind and given her notice now, so she has time to find a new situation. 🤨

@@koda3967 The OP said that their friend is a caregiver to *her* parents. So she is not just some hired help. She is their daughter.

@@koda3967 she is the daughter who is not getting paid, who lost her corporate job because they didn't have a work from home option. So 10 years of full time unpaid personal care, personal shopper, housekeeping and maintenance. Don't know who will take a chance on renting a place to someone that unemployed and or having a difficult time getting back on her feet . Point is, that ungrateful family members are willing to throw good natured people out on the street.

@@bsing2uYou take her in! They don’t have to support a grown woman if they don’t want to!

@@tony4534 I got her back. Support her...that's funny. Siblings before, during and soon to be thereafter haven't supported her emotionally, financially or physically as she is taking care of her parents which by the way is thier parents. So who are the actual grifters?

There’s jobs that pay living wages

And, if they do, we can't afford the products they sell. Lose/lose situation.

The problem is Democrat created policies. Learn this and vote some other color besides blue. You will like where you live much better. Trust me! I live in a red county and it’s a desired place to live because red gets it! No blue could ever help for a long period of time-short term sure.

Maybe don’t try to raise a family off of a fast food job

@@koda3967We’re not going to be able to afford the products they sell either way. These corporate CEOs are already inflating prices just to line theirs and investors’ pockets. They have the money to pay everyone a living wage, they just don’t want to.

I work for a company called Pacific Clinics- we have a housing Program that is provided through the Cal-Aim Program that does just this for those unhoused and at risk of being unhoused- providing first months rent and security deposit to those that have Medi-Cal and one of the following health providers: Anthem, HealthNet, LA Care, and Molina. It’s a new program and most of our navigators have full caseloads, but we haven’t stopped intakes, if you qualify or anyone else feel free to dm/ reach out

I believe our program was created recently through Mayor Bass’ efforts, although I’m not sure as I just recently started there 🫡

What needs to change are the zoning laws, mental health and substance abuse assistance, lower rents and higher wages. Then and ONLY then, will things change

I thought of them during all the news reports of flooding. Bonus points for using "affected," not "effected!" -unemployed English nerd

So move to Russia

Same math that MAGA uses on everything! Election court cases the numbers they use just more FRAUD BY TRUMP!

I think that’s in very city now

bless you for taking care of your sister. my wife & I do foster care & see a lot of problems out there

Those who refuse to help others also refuse to help their own. Poor immigrants are not the problem, corporate greed is.

What do we do with the immigrants then? Shutting the border doesn’t work. Our homeless problem is the result of our looking down at people who find themselves in an unhoused situation. We never cared enough to try and fix the problem. Now it’s out of control.

I bet he’s done more for the homeless than the orange man lmfao.

There is plenty for everyone. The ultra rich need to pay taxes.

Then there's homeless outreach seeing a different story and different things happening to people then what she and Jake are presenting.

@USA92 I am quite familiar. I've met people I'm LA who work in social services and have told me about the ins and outs of the homelessness crisis. It's probably more than most people are aware of. The government does a lot. Some homeless individuals are not compliant for a variety of reasons, which some are valid and some are not for their benefit. I'm just glad to see some change in the right direction.

​@youlknowmyname correction the government don't do jack.

@@coachjayy You'll believe what you want.

Well, that is what they are.

@@Aftermath-o4f This newly imposed term demonstrates the depravity of a reemerging, self-appointed elite. A house is the assembly of sticks, stones, plastic, metal and oil into a barrier from the elements. It can be a bungalow or an igloo. A home is a house and everything in it that brings a sense of safety, warmth, and security. It houses our affections, our loved ones - it warms our spirits. If we can not meet the needs of the whole person we at least offer them shelter. The new Guard only addresses the physicality of an entity, eliminating "old" think. I prefer setting my sights higher. I prefer taking a holistic term and making it whole. Unhoused ignores the evolution of what it means to be a "home".

@@user-be1ch3vk3c I think your analysis is way too deep for someone living in a tent or out of a shopping cart.

@@Aftermath-o4f spend some time visiting with homeless people, you might change your mind. I mean really communicate by listening intently with an open heart. There are people in those tents and behind the shopping carts. Complex people like you and me that have very real needs in a precarious world. We need to assist them better than just creating Orwellian languages and injecting a large dose of liberal hypocrisy.

That’s only $26,500 each. Try building anything for that amount of money.

If you were to build a one bedroom apartment complex, you are spending on avg 60k per door. In LA its probably 70k per door. 26K is highly efficient.

@tonlinesoitmistbetrue my guess is that is a per month price in rent, or per year. Wouldn't surprise me either, NY spending 64 a day to feed asylum seeking migrants. Like bruh... I eat on 90 dollars a month lol.

This is why most people are really bad at understanding public policy. They see numbers that would be huge in their daily life, and can't understand how that actually breaks down to very small numbers at an individual level.

@@timogul Just like people don't understand if you made a million dollars PER DAY, it would take you 550 years to make Elon Musks net worth.

If they had the capability to watch, listen and take real world examples from the people around them we probably wouldn't be in half the problems we are today as a nation. Plenty of shit we deal with, big shit, Europes had solved and they're in a MUCH better state. Better state financially? Nah America is filthy rich, but better in like every other way imaginable? Lmfao, go look, Europes leagues and bounds beyond the US.
