Hollywood residents tormented by nearby homeless encampment

A large Hollywood Boulevard homeless encampment that residents say is a hotspot for selling and buying drugs, a trash-strewn tent city they say took the city three months to clear, has sparked continued concern as unhoused residents are already returning to the location. Rachel Menitoff reports for KTLA 5 News at 5, Mar. 6, 2024.

    What they wont tell you is how Reagan not only defunded mental health in the U.S., releasing 10's of thousands of mentally ill people from institutions in the 80s, but his trickle down policies and deregulation of the finance industry has created a two-tier economy. One where all the economic growth goes to the rich, and the rest of us will slowly end up poor, homeless, and unable to pay bills on a 40 hour a week job. This was ALL by design. Our economy has a new name; Casino Capitalism. And it benefits those closest to the money supply; the financial industry.

    I can’t stand these democrats not using mine and other tax payers dollars on helping fellow Americans instead. Times are rough n our government doesn’t care about the ppl who are broke and would rather give 20-30 yr old college grads free college or throw away money on foreign wars that aren’t our concern.

    @@deannafoster9721No, we need affordable housing solutions! A place in Vancouver has offered small studio apartments for only $1250 a month and huge common areas. That’s super cheap rent for your own space, even if it is small. America needs to invest heavily in small studio apartments for the working homeless who can’t afford to live where they work. I currently average 3-4k a month, I need a studio that costs about $1000 otherwise I cannot comfortably afford rent. Cant even qualify for a basic studio with this income. Getting approved for roommate situations is also difficult and time consuming and often leads to drama. I’m telling you, as someone who is chronically homeless and is employed most of the time, this is the #1 solution to the housing crisis. Affordable apartments that pretty much any working citizen can comfortably afford and qualify for. Homeless shelters, insane asylums, halfway homes, etc is not what the homeless want. People just want their own small little oasis to call their own. Why else do you think so many homeless prefer a tent or car over the spider ridden, disease spreading homeless shelters? We don’t want a shared housing situation with a ton of questionable strangers and a tall list of rules and curfews.

Another time I took a photo from my car and a woman threw a bottle at me. They just throw all their garbage on the ground, even when a trash can is there.

    Not just tax payers but society as a whole😢children who don’t pay taxes have to put up with this as well.

    Where are homeless going to go? They don’t have home to go to. Our oligarchs have amassed billions while homeless population rises exponentially.

    Just imagine how sparkling clean LA would be if these individuals were actually incentivized and rewarded to sweep and clean the whole effin city instead of this endless tent saga…

    That's the politicians' job. These so-called "public servants" are supposed to clean up the streets. Most homeless people just want handouts and don't wanna work, so the city should force them on the outskirts of town. Reserve the housing for the homeless with jobs or families.

    it's a complicated issue, but I agree with you, many of these people only care about getting high. There are shelter beds available, according to city officials, but they have a hard time getting individuals to accept the help.@@auh2o148

    I think some sort of work would be a wonderful idea. With that, some sort of housing for the workers.

    I bet the perimeter of Oscars has not a tent in sight. Probably cleaned the sidewalks so good the swells attending oscars can eat their tofu and lamb chops. I completely forgot to add the meat. Thank you 😊

    No problem seeing those SKY BLUE TENTS on a gloomy grey winter day as the winter harshness seems a bit better with that BLUE!!!! Plus it seems that 75 % of the so called """troublesome homeless""" are INSIDE QUIETLY in the tents== quiet because there NO ELECTRICITY for radios!!!! So as annoying as it is LIGHTEN UP a bit as for the many REASONS this is taking place in our society**** Note== George Carlin where are you????

    I’m not unsympathetic to the homeowners but what was the expectation when you cleared the encampment without providing any replacement to what they had? These are people, not leaves. People need shelter, access to food and hygiene products, transportation. All homes produce waste that must be transported. I’m not saying that all of these needs have to be met free of any charge to everyone, just that if not provided in some form somewhere else, people will attempt to do it themselves and the camps will return. Clearing them without a plan for afterwards is pointless.

    There should be a law prohibiting anyone to live in public areas like sidewalks, etc. put them in one place and help them get rehab and jobs. Make it illegal to live on sidewalks and require them to sign up in shelters provided by city. They are putting so much trash around.
