Ok, late 90's. that makes sense! It had started to gentrify by then. Early 90's Venice though, would have been way more dangerous than it is today.People tend to forget that fact. Fewer homeless back then, but way more serious crime and gang-activity. The Oakwood area just a few blocks in from the beach was gangland, Venice Shoreline crips and Venice 13 territory.

The girl being pushed in the shopping cart at the 3:52 mark of the video was my girlfriend of 5 years from 22 to 27. Her name is Kristina. At 27 she quickly developed severe paranoid schizophrenia and lost complete touch with reality. It was a very hard and traumatic experience for everyone... she has never been able to get the kind of support she needs and has been on the streets on and off for 10 years now or so just surviving. She's from Washington state but originally grew up in California. She's 37 years old now, believe it or not, and considering everything she's been through and the self medication/substance abuse, she has survived and held up better than 99% of people would. She was a care taker before she became ill and too care of elderly people. She loved kids and wanted to have her own. What's crazy is she can't keep track of anything, a phone, where she is half the time, let alone hold a job, but she remembers my phone number and still calls me once in a while. Do you see her there often or have you interviewed her ever? Coming across this was pretty mind blowing, but I knew she was down there

Ayy man, i just stumbled across your channel and i really appreciate your videos. i've never been homeless (also not planning to) but spent lots of good times, made lots of great memories in venice beach with the "dirty kids" and street artists back in 2017 and once more winter 2018. many of them choose to live like this because rent is so crazy high. i can imagine it only got worse with the pandemic. recently i lost someone who i had a deep connection with whom i met there on the boardwalk, it's tragic how many young people die living on the streets. but my relationship to me just made me realize no matter our social status, we can all connect if we meet each other with an open attitude. by the way i'm also from germany, currently in berlin. i love your approach and attitude in your videos, and thanks for so much for the update on the boardwalk. i subscribed and look forward to more content of yours.

@Aaron Apart from the millions unemployed and tens of thousands of deaths. Biden need some time to fix that mess, he is only been in for a year and a half. The red states could help by taking care of their own homeless instead of sending them to the blue states.

In 1997, when my life was good, I had a "Cottage" on Ocean Blvd. "$900" a month. At around 12 or 1am, used to ride my bike to the beach, plop it on my shoulder, and walk to the shore, and sit on a lifeguard tower to watch the waves come in. It was the life. Now, I wouldn't walk to the market at that time of night. That cottage I had is probably going for $2000 - 2500 a month now :/. I used to walk from another location in Santa Monica near the college, to work at Tower Records near the 3rd St. Promenade, can't believe _they_ let the area go to hell like this . . . very sad.

If rent was still at 1997 levels and wages moved in step with inflation, there would be a lot less of this. The housing bubble/flip craze of the early 2000’s share a role in this more than any state legislative acts.

I’ve been in Venice for 1.5 years and it’s heartbreaking. This is just at the beach. It spreads throughout the neighborhoods. RVs parked all over, people living in cars. I call it Skid Row West. There’s multi million dollar homes with the poorest of the poor living in front on the streets. It says a lot who we are as a society. 😔

I am from New Zealand, but way back in 2006 I stayed in Venice while attending my Yoga Teacher training at Sacred Movement. I stayed at a place called the Cadillac Hotel, which I picked simply because the name made me laugh and the price was right. The walls were thin, and there was a German couple in the room next to me who sure did like to bang a lot. On my first day there, where I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land, just alone, weirded out, and generally unhappy, a little fellow with no legs, lying on a skateboard pushed himself over to me, and said "Are you ok?". The concern in his voice was genuine, and as dumb as it sounds, that one single moment, instantly altered my perspective and mood. I smiled at him, and told him I was fine. That seemed to satisfy him, and he scooted himself away. While I saw plenty of homeless people at Venice, I never once felt threatened, and I felt an odd affinity with them, as if I'd travelled so far just to be with people that I somehow felt connected to in a way I could never hope to explain. I think it came down to this. In Venice, I felt normal, and I've always struggled to find that feeling anywhere else, especially here at home. I will probably never visit Venice again, but I love that place, and there will always be a part of me there. I genuinely hope Venice, and by extention the rest of the U.S. finds a way to heal itself, because it is a country in great pain and with a lot of healing to do, right now. Peace.
