My theory is the people who own next door homes took the man's squalor as an excuse to lowball the owners of the neighboring homes. In fact they may have put him up to it or enabled his condition for their ends. Its like the guy who paid someone to squat in a place he wanted to buy for cheap to put pressure on the sellers and drive down the price. Anyway everyone on the block is doing a victory lap now all their homes are worth at least another $250K all at the anonymous taxpayers expense. Never let a good crisis go to waste. The only bad thing is clean air is going to smell funny to them for the next few weeks after years of smelling rotting garbage.

@@angelamarie88I am saying the speculator developers who built the homes next door probably got the original bungalows for a song because they were next to a blighted property. No one wants to live next to something like that and they most certainly do not enjoy it. Its just that the developers likely used this situation to their advantage. I am sure most of the neighbors were horrified but you would want to sabotage the values of the home in the neighborhood if you wanted to buy a home in the neighborhood for a significant discount and then have the problem solved at the city's expense making your home go up in value in the process. The long time residents are not sabotaging anything. Like most people they just want to live quietly and be left alone. A real estate developer may use google earth to find really run down homes and try to buy them homes next door for a discount since those people feel they could not sell their homes otherwise. Hope this makes sense from a predatory capitalist standpoint. Nothing I have tried myself. I am not that clever. There was something a long time ago called blockbusting where realtors would go into white neighborhoods and spread rumors that black people were moving in. All the white people would sell at a discount and the realtors would re-sell the properties at a nice profit.

I saw another story about this same house earlier in the week and the neighbor right behind him has been in their home for over 30 years. They said they built a wall in the rear of their property after this guy started filling his yard with trash hoping that would give a better barrier to the piles of garbage and rodents. With interest rates so high and they are probably getting older, they probably don’t want to get another mortgage. My husband and I are in our 30th year in our house and retirement is coming up and we don’t want to deal with a mortgage. Plus, imagine trying to sell a house that borders a garbage dump. The story I read gave the name of the street the house was on and i found the street view of it that was dated over a year ago and the front yard, while overgrown, had been cleared of trash. The aerial view showed the backyard was full of it. I’m not sure who had helped him clear the front yard before, if it was family or somebody hired, but it’s insane how much the trash has built up again.

The rats and roaches are scattering for sure. All of the homes will need to be treated.

It's nice to see the owner's sister doing all she can, even with her health issues. Sometimes, as people age, they may feel asking for help is a bother to family or friends, so things pile up and get out of control. I know some older folks can be stubborn, making things harder for family or friends. We can't give up on them; we must keep trying to help them.

"This coulda been taken care of years agoooo" will become a meme that some guys will remix as a rap song. What a sad situation tho

I was thinking the same thing that man said! Why didn’t anything be done BEFORE it got this bad!!

It was only cleaned up because it was on the news

I don’t think the sister giving him the house was a good idea

Glad how thorough this story is being covered, this is for filling the nosey neighbor in all of us

How ridiculous is the housing market in California? This house as is, is worth $800,000 dollars.😂

LOL, always blame cities and outside people for not babysitting a total freak of a person. Don’t you know about brain flexibility also? At the age this creep is at, there is zero chance of change. An autistic person at the age he is? Literally will never change even a tiny bit. Learn something about the “illness” you claim to know about

Who is paying for it? Who is this "special" home owner?

This man is in need of serious help. Really bad mental health problems. Hope he gets the help he needs.

As a former resident of L A, (A city i honestly love), it doesn't surprise me that the 'bloated' bureaucracy of the city lets something like this happen and fall through the cracks.

I sure hope the City bills the homeowner for the cleanup of this mess!

Unacceptable..how can the city government let this happen putting the community and citizens in danger from disease, chemical hazards and possibie fire. They shoujd inspect the home of hazardous chemicals and materials. The owner for sure needs intervention..

They should charge the homeowner and conserve the person in that house.

I agree, the best question is how did it get to that condition? Most of that stuff would have been picked up during weekly garbage collection.

And the city doesn't hold her accountable whatsoever. As a LONG TIME resident of LA, we are getting tired of this Mayor Bass! Step up and fix your internal problems before you try and fix the external problems. Thank you

The neighbors said he was bringing it home.

"How do you think I feel," from the sister. Good for her to answer that invasive question that way. She gave her poor autistic brother a home of his own - more than many would have done. He's a tragic case and she clearly knows it. "He won't talk to me." So very sad. I hope he will get the additional help he needs so that she can heal from her cancer in peace knowing he is cared for.

And who’s paying for the clean-up? Thinking his out-of-touch Sister should.WTAF?

They are going to bill the owner for the cleanup instead of taking of responsibility for their part that lead to this massive pile of trash and dismissing their tax payers complaints.

We get it. How long are we going to humiliate this man? Have y'all looked around those streets?

So he was collecting trash and bringing it home? Thats a serious mental illness which has been left untreated, omg.

That 25 year sanitation worker hasn't been to the average West Oakland street corner if this is the worst he has seen in his career. Where was his route San Marino? Trousdale Estates? There are way worse places than this guys house. I figure the people who built the Miami Beach mc mansions next door actually thank the hoarder. They probably got a huge discount buying the neighboring properties when they were just modest bungalows next to a trash house. That is probably why they let it go on for so long. They profited handsomely from this guys squalor and that is why they didn't send a couple of nightclub bouncers to teach him basic sanitation. Too bad no one hangs out in Melrose any more. Frankly it wasn't even that cool in the early 90s. Think of how much these places would be worth if that were the case.

Thank you for being a voice of reason. Best comment read in awhile!

I blame, blame, blame city and government officials. You know this was the case for years and none of you did anything about it. Shame starts at the top with the mayors office and trickles down to the sister who is lost and very confused. Your brother had trash in the house and cars and not one, two but three cars rag tag sister. You did nothing. Shame, shame, shame on the family. They knew wtf was going on and did nothing period.

Congrats to the sanitation worker who has lasted 25 years! It's a hard job and where would we be without them?

How does a mess get this bad? How long did it take? How long did it take to deal with the resident?

I like how this guy is on tv all the time for being a hoarder and people whine about it but the bums that ruin places,destroy entire areas and murder people all over California are no big deal. It’s ridiculous

“We need people to call the people responsible for fixing it, and then call another person to tell the people responsible to fix it, to fix it”. That’s perfect California logic.
