You're right. It is intentional. These properties will be bought at fire sale prices by Black Rock and other investment firms. Small real estate investors will be pushed out.

As a Polish individual who resided in the USA for over 35 years, I experienced a gradual decline in quality of life each year since my arrival. Four years ago, the tipping point was reached, prompting my family's return to Poland. We now reside happily in Warsaw, enjoying its safety and cleanliness. Our daughter, born in California, Orange County refuses to entertain the thought of returning. This decision ranks among the best in my life. It's not solely a California issue; the entire country is crumbling while its elites prioritize excessive spending on endless wars and undocumented immigrants.

As a Czech born, who has now lived in five countries, including 33 years now in the USA, I almost did as you have. But I know better the hisory of Europe and had a strange feeling Europe is soon to suffer a similar fate. So it would be out of the Frying pan, into another frying pan. My mom said it well in the early 2000's when she said to my father "you know better than to ever want to move back. There are cycles of history that always repeat in Europe. It's great now - but we need to remember that Europe will always be in a war eventually. She seems to have been right. Europe is a crazy place now, kind of like Democratic cities were fifteen years ago. Europeans just can't help themselves. They all hate their neighbors at some level. I grew up with Poles in Canada. The Poles were pretty brutal in their own hates and prejudices. And the Czechs are wimps. Europe - no thanks. Not for a long while with what the EU is up to. But good luck.

Society will not end by fire or ice, but by FILTH...

In 2021, the Healthy Housing Foundation converted the Barclay Hotel into a low-rent housing project for homeless families. The conversion was part of an initiative to turn 11 hotels in the Los Angeles area into affordable housing.

Sort of makes me wonder who’s paying the taxes on all of those empty buildings. Who is/are the owner of record(s)? Given the state of them and the derelict surroundings, I can’t imagine anyone will be doing any leasing or selling. The old ones break my heart with all of the fine details and workmanship buildings used to have. It’s such a shame it’s all just sitting, slowly falling apart. For the structures that are still in fairly good condition, rezoning them for homeless shelters, drug clinics, childcare. It’s likely too costly but it would be a huge help to those with nowhere to go. Better than making outdoor toilets out of old doorways. Great video, Leo! I’m a new subscriber. Well done. ❤️🐈

0:57 "At least their putting the trash all in the same place". Yes, exactly.

Rents are far too high because the landlords refuse to sell their properties since they are subsidized (running at a loss), and there's a theft issue in LA on top of it so people can't afford the insurance and theft in the area. There is no legal business that can run in LA today unless landlords are forced to sell/rent cheaper, and policies are put in place to protect businesses.

Leo, people like you are now the new media, and what you were doing is very important! CBS, NBC, or ABC would never show us this! Please be careful out there!
