No, the Government doesn't control a Free Market Capitalist economy. after 9/11 the economy took a nose dive and it took a while to recover. Then we had Covid Pandemic, which is another major problem, but instead of just focusing on one Country, Covid hit EVERY Country. In LA, they had the SAG boycotts so one of their biggest industries effectively shut down for many months and less people wasting money on expensive shit. You want inflation? MANY Countries have excessively high inflation. There's other Countries that are going through the same thing we are. China has their own collapse in the real estate market. I know the Republicans always want to blame the Democrats, but think of this. Which States are the poorest States? Republican run States. No one wants to live on those States because they have no money and are nothing but Ghost States sucking the money from the wealthy States.

The black lives matter riots were a turning point. The riots showed Los Angeles residents on local TV that the police just stood by while rioters smashed and looted parts of LA like Melrose Ave with impunity. It was a shock to the system. So-called restorative justice, which really means no more law and order, began, vagrants all over the country learned you could camp out anywhere in LA and not be bothered, so that population exploded. Then the Covid lockdowns put the nails in the coffin, and growing lawlessness drove out many residents and businesses.

I'm sorry to see this. I lived in Beverly Hills for five years within walking distance of Rodeo Drive. I knew it was only a matter of time until the rot unleashed on LA would reach Beverly Hills, but actually seeing that come true is depressing. Most people think Beverly Hills is all glitzy shops and mansions perched on high hills. It's not. I lived in "the flats" with working people who live there for a clean, well-run, low-crime city. (58% of Beverly Hills residents are renters, as I was). If even Beverly Hills has gone this far, then California is past the point of no return.

Between the flash mobs, smash-and-grab robberies, and "peaceful" rioting with zero to little police response or prevention, we have zero desire to visit anymore. We also used to love dining at the Drake, Swissotel, Four Seasons, and The Signature Room. We just aren't comfortable walking or driving through the area anymore. It's really sad.

Lost Angeles ☹️

Very sad. As a former resident of BH before and during COVID, I watched the state of decline. I remember trying to drive home before getting stopped by an angry mob of people that was slowly descending into the town. Me and a few other alarmed motorists turned our cars around and hurried out. That was the first day of the infamous riots. We realized the police were powerless. I left BH and moved further west. Turns out the homeless problem is far worse the further west you go. But it's really the burglaries and robberies that are the scariest. My home was broken into twice, the second time a gunpoint. Using a firearm in the commission of a felony used to be a mandatory 'enhancement' charge but that's no longer the case. The police told me that simply breaking into my home and pointing a gun at me wasn't enough to escalate to a more serious response. Crazy thing is, we're not allowed to carry firearms in public or even in your vehicle to protect yourself. So robbers are pointing guns at shoppers in broad daylight at the local mall, or parking lot, or follow you home, and as you pull into your garage, point a gun at your face and take everything you own. Sounds like a movie, but it has been happening. So, people are rethinking going out in their fancy cars, wearing their fancy watches and jewelry and "being seen." Since BH is a town for exactly that - they are suffering quite a bit. L.A. is wild. I grew up in San Diego. We used to leave our front door unlocked! Never heard about any break ins. But that's only part of the story. As a business owner in L.A. we are seeing a permanent transition to remote work. People aren't commuting to offices anymore, and clients aren't requiring in-person meetings, so companies are ditching their expensive leases. It's amazing how much white collar work can be done using Zoom. BH has a huge supply of offices - above all of those retail stores there are countless offices. Without people coming to the offices, there are fewer patrons running errands locally or dining in BH. Ask any retail owner and they will measure their revenue in terms of "pre-pandemic" and post-pandemic. After the pandemic, business never really picked up - so even the big staples that were there for 20+ years didn't have enough revenue to sustain themselves.

The police weren't powerless. They were held back. Remember, the police are not here to "serve and protect". That's just a nice little meme. They are the Schlägertroops for the Powerful.

That's the neocon elite globalist. They want this. California is the prototype for the rest of the country. America needs to stand the fck up and take this country back before its too late. IT'S GO TIME FOLKS!

Wow, thanks for the report. Never knew BH was going thru all that. Darn reporters! There's so much to report on yet they don't.... All of these videos on KZread about ghost town famous urban sites are surreal... Seattle is pretty bad too. Malls of downtown are dead: empty...

I was there in the mid 90s , there was a lot of good things to see. Especially back then because Pretty Woman came out, everyone liked to go in the Beverly Hotel. It’s sad to see it dead. You get what you vote for.

The world as we know it is leaving us guys! I feel sad but yeah every thing has an end even if we hate to see it coming.

I'm sorry but you are wrong, In the Carolinas the mall parking lots are full. The restaurants are busy AND store theft is not out of control. Gas is around $3/gallon. The news makes you as if everything is out of control everywhere in America but this is not true. Some economies are overheated (Miami, NYC, CA) and others are not.

well almost everybody are doing their shopping online now

10 years ago I gave up hope on California after almost 50 years. I spent an my youth and adulthood surfing HB, going to local races, music events in Hollyweird, car culture and great weather. But eventually I had no more tolerance for wokeism and my family had been there since the 1940's. Businesses do not just close for nothing - they stop the bleeding and move on to a better location just as I did with my small business. Thanks for reminding me of a very good life decision.

your use of the word 'Hollyweird' makes me question your authenticity.

Lived up the hill in Hollywood Hills for 25 years there has always been vacant stores in Beverly Hills for the last 15 years. But there is less offices in BH.
