    keeping trash off the beach is way to important not to cover it. Cleaner beaches leads to the less likelihood of beach goers also leaving trash

    He's not part of the solution he's neutral, if you watch other channels like the guy in Philly, when they video tape a homeless person they give them 10$ gift card for McDonald's, socks, sandwiches, ect. Profiting off the homeless which is what he is doing is a gray especially if your not helping. If there were no homeless this channel would be pretty dead besides movie stuff. That's why the Adam the woo episode is the best, been following Adam since 2010. Fyi 6mil views is about 32k in ad revenue.... 1k in food gift cards for the homeless help wouldn't hurt him since he's profiting off them.

    @@nomadfishermanak You think he should give them money, gift cards ect? You think that making content regardless if its filming the homeless doesnt take time editing? He may not be part of the solution but neither are you. What they need to do is take them all to the desert and let them build their own crack house sand dunes, if they dont want to be part of society and make a honest living and contribute then we shouldnt have to pick up after their mess either.

    🤣🤣🤣Liberals are immune to reality: The challenge that liberals have with reality is that it confuses them. When life does not match their ideology, they begin to blame other people, the system, and of course conservatives. The liberal worldview is incompatible with people who still have hopes, dreams and desires to make a better life for themselves and their offspring. Hence, liberals get angry when their odd-notioned theories are not embraced or, more likely, rejected. [ ] In their mind, anyone who disagrees must be mentally inferior or defective. The possibility that they might be wrong is never considered. Facts, history and common-sense are mere inconveniences to these true believers. They make their own reality! the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them. "he refuses to face reality" let's go Brandon!

    Im very fortunate to be housed but I know how it feels to sleep on sidewalks and in doorways. Mental health treatment saved my life! Without realizing it I had been dealing with a moderate form of Schizophrenia for over 15 years. No wonder I was suicidal for most of my adult life. I had been trying to be normal without actually treating my disorder and that drove me batshit crazy. If you can relate to this, please get mental health treatment asap. Its so worth it to finally stop living in denial and start the process of getting your mind to a place where you can be rational, sane, and civil everyday. Say No to living on a roller coaster of extreme thoughts and emotions. Please stop the cycle!

But about 4 days went by and I finally started to see some results. Suddenly, I started realizing not everyone was out to get me and my overall mind started to clear. It took about 1 month till I was ready to try real life again. They released me under the condition that I seek ongoing outpatient services from a Psychiatrist and Therapist.

    @@SamSung-jv3jm Thanks for the follow up. I guess my friend isn't at rock bottom yet, but she's close. SHE knows what her problem is - severe hoarding, to the point where she refuses to have anyone into her home but the Landlords, who have now had it with her after 5 years, and keep raising the rent to force her out. She needs to say some things out loud - not to me, but to a psychiatrist and not some telephone "therapist" who she probably isn't being honest with about her hoarding. THAT is the challenge to her housing situation now. She REFUSES to simply get rid of all of her "stuff!" Even if her brothers went in and got rid of everything "for her," she'd just fill up wherever she lived with "stuff" again. She needs to go into a Psych ward, but she isn't going to do so voluntarily. She'd never attempt suicide, since, quite frankly, she doesn't have the guts. I literally just tried talking to her honestly and she got off the phone quickly, since she "runs away" from reality. There is NO reason why she can't have a home for herself....except HERSELF. I'm so glad you saw fit to listen and that medication makes all the difference in the world. It would be that way for her as well, but she FEARS "the side effects," which is part of her sickness.

    I thought I recognized that area... My husband and I was homeless from May 2013-January 2018. In February 2015 we left Ocean Beach ,San Diego and headed to LA. Everyone told us about Venice Beach. Well I wasn't and my husband wasn't that impressed with it at all!!! But I do remember smoking cigs and weed in this little park when we would go to library. No tents back then even on the beaches. We slept behind Gold's Gym off of 3rd and Rose. We stayed 1 week and went back to Ocean Beach, San Diego. Treated soooo much better there. But the only thing that brought me out of homelessness was the death of my husband in January 2018. Then I had a friend in Portland that offered up her couch and an opportunity for me to better myself so I'm took it. Got a job. And was working within a week to two weeks after moving to Portland. I lived there from February 2018-December 2019. Working, saving money, got me a van. And went traveling again. NOW I'm in Oklahoma in my hometown with my own apartment and a job and life is good.

    @ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt Yes I said the world because we currently have a estimated 10.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States from multiple countries. The Biden administration is spending 60 million a month on just housing the children of these people. Imagine that money being spent on legal residents of this country and what a difference that would make. Republicans want America First, Democrats want a new voter base to remain in power, liberals want everything to be free and conservatives want people to earn it. Charity starts in the home and neither party has a solution, but a reduced number of people would definitely help things. You know Im very disappointed with this so called pandemic, but thats another debate...

Unfortunately today it is back to square one & the homeless is back with their tents. The problem needs to be tackled at its roots.Freebies needs to be stopped, sourcing of drugs should be stopped promptly & employment opportunities should be created for these homeless, these measures can to some extent address the problem I hope.

Mental health placements, rehabilitation housing, transitional living and programs in place are needed badly To shove away from street to street is only making situation worse more crime, damage, and repairs. We can give city workers raises Prisons pools TV and GYM's but we can not help the people that may have fought for this country? Get them off street not shove them around. Homeless dose not mean helpless. Many are from horrible situations of losing jobs, bad relationship, I knew a professor that became homeless never underestimate yes drugs alcohol and mental health to are serious. Our city needs to take heed and help not hinder.
