Caltrans clears homeless camps every day. Here's what they look like inside.
California’s homeless crisis is playing out on the state’s highways, where Caltrans is clearing dozens of camps every day. Here's the scene inside a camp near a Berkeley freeway in November 2018.

Being homeless should not be a crime. There are many of us, me included that are literally one pay check from being in their shoes. I have been homeless twice in my life, and with 2 children but I'll tell you what. I NEVER left garbage or any kind of trash where we slept or ate. I picked up every scrap and bagged it and took it with me. I dumped it in a nearby dumpster. There is no excuse for leaving this kind of mess for someone else to clean up! Are you human beings or are you pigs?! Clean up your mess!

Ann there is clearly two types of HOMELESS those that love the life style on the animal kingdom!!! And those that fell on hard times, the last are one ones that clean up after them self's, cause they still have THIER dignity even on The street!!! And hopefully those will get help to get back on THIER feet👍 the others will die where they are SADLY!! No one can force anyone to help them self's!!☹️
This is not a HOMELESS crisis. This is a drug, criminal, and mental health crisis. You could give every one of these people a room tomorrow, they will still end up homeless. If you legalize drugs, go easy on criminals, and tell people they are not responsible for their own situation, this is what you get.

You hit the nail on the head. A man must work if he wants to eat. Everyone including the crazies will sober up real fast when the free food is taken away. Let them begin with a broom and shovel.
I'm a Caltrans landscape worker and unfortunately I have to deal with this homeless issue first hand. When I go into homeless camps I'm in fear for my life because I never know what I'm going to be dealing with. Remember I'm classified as a landscape maintenance worker and not HAZMAT. We give the people in those encampments 72 hours to vacate, if they are still there after 72 hours we can not touch them or their belongings. Wasting thousands of dollars on men power and equipment. When we finally go in there the place is usually boobytraped with buckets of phisis and discarded drug needles and syringes used by the homeless for injecting heroin. Where is the public outcry for what we have to endure? Do you think that 22 dollars an hour is fair for this job with out proper safety attire and proper training?

There is no way my conscience could bring me to charge exhorbatent rents like I saw. Needless to say I was overwhelmed w people wanting to rent my place. It was sad to turn so many away. Wish I had a million more. Anyway I really think it's shameful for people to be so greedy just because they can.

There used to be quite a few older buildings with cheap rooms for rent (single room occupancy hotels) that housed hundreds of people in cities. Most have been torn down in the last 10-20 years to put up expensive new apartments and office buildings.
I live in an area where there are a lot of homeless people. Several of my friends are homeless. Believe me when I say that no matter what you do for them, they will NEVER do for themselves. I'm not saying they are all the same. Or that there are not some homeless that wouldn't love the opportunity to change their circumstances, but for the majority of chronic homeless, they are more than willing to keep sniveling if it means they don't have to get up and go to work everyday.

The homeless could save themselves a lot of problems if they didn't trash every area they stay in. Did you see the huge piles of garbage and trash? I was homeless from the age of 15 to 18 living on my own. Had to work day labor and lie about my age because I couldn't work a real job due to employment rules for minors. This was 1986 to 1989. I kept my self clean and didn't trash the areas where I stayed and because I didn't trash it no one noticed and I was fine. Saved as much as I could (Hard to save on the street) And when I turned 18 I was able to get my own apt, A licence (In the state I was in you couldn't get a licence without a parents signature until you were 18), and a real job.
I still don't know why being homeless has to equal trashing a city or collecting more things than one person can manage. That's not a not having a home problem that's mental illness and a lack of pride.
Two major challenges come to mind . . . For people in their 50s and 60s, it's extremely difficult to find a new job, even at entry level. Employers want young kids fresh out of college, that they can start out on low salaries . . . and . . . . the homeless populations need to be sorted out, between those who are without drug or mental illness issues, there specifically because of financial difficulties, and the "hard core" homeless, who have been living in the street or outside of society most of their lives, have serious drug and alcohol addictions or mental illness. That second point is particularly difficult, in that it's the hard core homeless that most people think of when they hear that term. Most ordinary people don't want to deal with the addicts, violent or insane in their neighborhood,. and I don't blame them, it's a completely understandable position to have. On the other hand, having a transition site for the homeless that most people don't actually see, for those who had jobs, families, a functioning life until encountering a financial disaster . . . most people are OK with this, want to help if possible. The key to this is that preliminary sorting process. Just lumping all "homeless" people into a single demographic helps no one . . . especially the homeless who are in the most desperate situations.

When I see and hear these folks it's hard to believe they ever had steady jobs in the first place. I'd be interested to know the percentage of the "hard-core" homeless (like the ones in this video) even finished high school. That lack of education may be a key to how they got into this situation.

California has like 10-12 % of the total US population, about 30% of the welfare cases, about 50% of the homeless population and the highest poverty rate in the country. The answer to this, if you ask Gavin Nuisance or Kamala Harris, is more and bigger government. Big government is what got us into this mess, they seem to think the problem is we are not taxing hard enough.

I work as a Utility Line Clearance (Tree Trimmer) and something people need to take into consideration, is ! We go wherever the power lines take us. A lot of places people least expect someone to show up. We come across homeless camps on a daily basis and it can be very dangerous. We come across hypodermic syringes, places where they are deficating all over, used condoms , broken glass, lots of garbage, people out of their mind because of some drug they have taken, there is a constant threat we all deal with because of these people. Not all of these people are clean and a non threat, especially to people who are "UNEXPECTED" or "UNENVITED" a lot of them think because we walk into their camp, we are undercover cops or their to hurt them or steal what they have. When in reality, we are only there to do our job. When these people feel threatened it is hard to determine what they might do. For people who work out their or people hiking in these areas, be safe , be aware of your surroundings and always expect the unexpected because these people are NOT always as good or nice as people think .

And these are NOT camps, but mini cities. It's utterly and totally amazing to me seeing how much crap these people have and of course, let's just throw it on the ground and let someone else deal with it. If you can't carry it, you don't need it and when you do this, you suddenly realize how much you don't need. I have a alice backpack and with everything being carried in/on it, weighs 78 pounds.

You are correct in that it is Biden and the left taking down the border, for political reasons, and allowing this invasion to happen. But the money and resources, diverted to take care of this mess he has created, is still happening due to an immigration “system” that is insane.

Donald Kasper the state mental hospitals were closed by Ronald Reagan and his cronies when they pulled federal support from them.

This happened in all 50 states.

One Caltrans did not cause homeless people to become homeless, thus their property is not open for them to move on and declare that they have no place to go. If one lives in an area that they can not afford to pay rent and earn a descent wage then they need to move to another state that they can afford to live off their wages to live in. That is what I was taught a long time ago, you work and support yourself and family and if job loss occurs you look till you find one and work two if it takes that to support your family. Life is not about you owe me, and where is my home, checks and free food/electric and water, there are some who have been on the streets doing alcohol and drugs for 20 or more years and expect others to food the bill for them, no.....
The majority of homeless have addictions or mental illness. They can't be forced into rehab but prefer to continue their lifestyle. Unless they commit a crime,, there is nothing we can do to help them break their addiction while in jail or an institution for mental illness. I used to joke that the best place to be homeless is California because of the mild weather. Sadly, that joke has come true.
in these times we are in ,any of us could be these people within days. the average american is struggling to make ends meet.theres talk about raising minimum wage,but thats a double edged sword,the more one makes,the more government withholds,and prices go up to pay for the pay adjustment.
Homelessness is mostly a DRUG ADDICTION problem. Create fenced up camps in the Nevada Death Valley Desert, and take all of these addicted homeless people off the streets throughout America, and keep them there until they are either clean or dead (Free Rehab).....Those who disagree, should start adopting the homeless and let them live in their homes.

The state gets sued because it tries to maintain state property and they get sued when something happens within state property. It's a losing proposition for the state. This video is one sided, which is pretty typical of news outlets such as the Sacramento Bee.
Vegas is the same. I was on the streets for 3 years. So f'n hard. Worse now since the Raiders are coming. Rent. Going up. Fixed income not. They don't care.
Crises!? What's the crises? Move them onto the nearest abandon military base and give them a job planting their gardens.. prison them but tell em with leaflets first, in a few months were taking you into an old military base and. Your going to be wards of the government.
I am sick of hearing people saying it's a social issue. No it's a drug issue
Homeless people are more happier than you think .
Wow shanty town looks like south Africa
This is the face of socialism. Vote them out.
Why do poor and homeless people have to live like hoarder, filthy, junkyard packrats?
Boy, good thing the city doesn't do anything about this problem. I feel so old because I remember the psych center in Buffalo NY that offered housing, hygiene, food and medication on a regular schedule. Unsupervised tents are much better.

Junkie towns.
10 million on cleaning up. zero dollars on homeless aid
It's called cleaning out the homeless without cleaning out the homeless.
I've saved over $10,000 in rent, living in my tent here in Hollywood . So what.
Is this National Geographic?
Too many judgemental comments down here. Same old stuff. We don't know these people's stories. A lot of stereotypes, ya know, drugs etc.
The 'activist' wants Caltrans to come up with a rational solution for an irrational problem.
They have to pull themselves out of it. I can say this because I’ve been in their shoes. It was hell out there, you get caught up in the hopelessness and drugs. Those that do get out of that faze, do very well. You gotta want it bad, that’s when the change will happen and god was/is there waiting for you to decide.
The dept. of Transportation has a job to do in constructing or maintaining roadway and Right of way. If camps are set up DOT is usually pretty good about respecting the camps until this group gets in the way. Progress does have to go on and this is being paid for by the public. The amount of garbage left is very unhealthy and a liability for the State if it's left on States property. Give them some respect also.
Every homeless encampment should be dismantled and thrown into landfills.
Unfortunately your possessions are garbage to us We want our cities back
I JUST CAME UP WITH THE ANSWER!!! First. Step Back for a second to Imagine... Imagine that a LAW WAS CREATED which says that.. if a person, for All intents and purposes, APPEARS TO BE HOMELESS ; the person is CARRYING ALL THEY OWN, or, IS LIVING IN A TENT OUTSIDE OF A PLACE WHERE TENTS ARE ACCEPTABLE, such as a State Park, etc.. Let me try to be brief.. let a Law simply state that an APPARENT HOMELESS PERSON will NO LONGER BE HELPED by the STATE.. and..THE REST OF SOCIETY should NOT PITY A 'HOMELESS' Person!!! The BELONGINGS which they have WILL BE CONFISCATED, so that these Areas where they currently live can be CLEANED UP.. the basic jist is... FORCE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE LIFE OR DEATH! Now the State can be VERY COMPASSIONATE beyond what I have mentioned.. Free CLOTHING which is CLEAN can be distributed.. Areas for PERSONAL HYGIENE can be established where there are none currently.. BATHROOMS apparently are Sparce in our major cities , FUNDS SHOULD BE USED to Remedy this issue, and IMMEDIATELY!.. the MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA would need to get the HELL OUT OF THE WAY and maybe try to give this idea a chance.. DRUGS would need to be taken away!!! This is a NO BRAINER.. and then, of course, we need to have Compassion on those people by helping them GET OFF OF the Drugs.. the MILITARY would be VERY IMPORTANT to bring Stability and STRENGTH to this scene, TO MAKE IT HAPPEN .. POLITICIANS should be FORCED, some how, to NOT GET IN THE WAY OF THESE CHANGES.. Anyway, there's the idea.. a LOT MORE can be discussed about it, I'm sure. Take care, USA.
Here is the greatest country on face of the earth......do the "experts" wring their hands and try to figure out WHY....? But its no secret why....... And the world is watching.....
Her MasterCard...?
Most Homeless are from out of state because they receive cash from the state fast here and no one else. They have places to go. They just have to follow rules, be clean and sober to stay in a shelter.
I am pretty sure there are some empty malls around. Utilize them.
YET THE STATE IS SPENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR A SHITTY TRAIN GOING FROM LA TO SAN FRANCISCO 🚄 💲📉
Yep. This issue has been ignored since 1984 across the entire country. Why does Nancy Pelosi need 14 homes? (Last count i saw)
In Africa there isn't this problem cause there is affordable rent for everyone. If you have 50 cent a day there is rent for that
Drug addicts, drug addicts, drug addicts, and NO porta pottys.
Where do the homeless get furniture,? People are dropping off their discards, and that just adds to the mountain of trash these people create, could they have independent trash removers to pick up the mess and have the city pay them something for helping out.?
SanFranShithole is a homeless mess alright, all of the Homeless Cities are. Mostly because of the liberal thinking of the slum inhabitants & the leadership of the area. Without conservative (meaning traditions, solid proven ideals, saving for a tomorrow, preparing for the worst, having good values, saying NO to drugs & similar values) thinking, this kind of situation has metastasized like cancer & is out of control. Any education these people had is gone, any way to make things work for these lost souls is Smoke & Mirrors, it ain't gonna happen. Soon, they will be rounded up & taken to areas, that will be their place to slowly die, an area where they can be what they want to be & not be the eyesore they are on the city. It won't be pretty, but it will be a way for the leaders to turn their back on this unsolvable problem
They only help the children now they need to replace the old folks. Keep it clean Guy's
We need to get it together we are willing to poke our noses in other countries business but when it comes to our own. Oh affordable housing maybe in a couple of years for the Homeless wow really you can do better than that alot of people want to get jobs but if you dont have an adress, or no money nor the proper atire who is really going to hire you. Just know american people you too can find yourself in the same predicament, homeless people are just drug addicts, alcholics these people who worked hader and some harder than you we have to do better than this
California has become a haven for this.

I dont like how this is presented. In the the end it's said they have been pushed out and have no where to go. What is not said is these people are offered accommodation but the however do not want it or not want to live by rules set in place at these areas such as no drugs or substances, curfews or social rules. Its a sad reality that these people's possessions are tossed but they had time to try to get stuff moved. You can't live like that on the side of the road and until these people are able to realize that or changes are made and they are forced to comply with a healthier lifestyle nothing will change.
America?
