Maybe she's just so excited to be 124 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: in the clean air of the Dumpy Valley instead of 125 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: being in Boyle Heights. 126 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: Imagine Karen Bass Bobblehead dull night at Dodger Stadium. 127 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Don't give them any ideas us. 128 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 6: This project is moving through her Executive Directive one, allowing 129 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 6: one affordable housing projects to skip the typical public hearing process, 130 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 6: which oh. 131 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: And that's the one that she had to reverse almost 132 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: immediately because of all the blowback where we were approving 133 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: seven story apartment buildings in a single family cul de 134 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: sac in Sherman Oaks. But anything that got in before 135 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: she undid Executive Order one, it's in there. And this 136 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: is one of these projects. And just remember when you 137 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: hear the term of affordable housing. What that really means 138 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: is subsidized. 139 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: I love the fact that they have all of these 140 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: ridiculous rules for building something in the city, and everyone 141 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: has to jump through all of those hoops, including the 142 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: fire victims. But if it's something they really, really really want, 143 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: they just streamline it and bam, it's done, lickety split. 144 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: Crazy Eights writes it on YouTube. Low income housing. So 145 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: they'll cost three thousand dollars for a one bedroom probably, 146 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: realistic raider writes in, you know the real cost will 147 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: triple nine billion. Yeah, probably is the beginning. 148 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 3: Of slashing as much wet tape as possible. 149 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 6: The price tag around two billion dollars. Where's that coming from? 150 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: Well, it's public private, but it's also what they have raised. 151 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: So what part of its public? Yeah. 152 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 2: I like how she just meshes them together real fast. 153 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: Again, it means that we are paying for it. We 154 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: pay the developers to build these things, and we're subsidizing 155 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: the rent, which also makes everything else more expensive. Project 156 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: is not seeking any Also, now that this is specifically 157 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: catered to a specific class of people and it's cardon 158 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: off as affordable housing, that doesn't affect anything going on 159 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: with market rate housing. So four thousand dollars one bedrooms 160 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: in the valley are going to stay four thousand dollars 161 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: one bedrooms in the valley. 162 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 8: Direct dollars from the city, a combination of tax exempt bonds, 163 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 8: low income housing, tax credit investment, private capital as well. 164 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: The web of funding for these projects is so unbelievably confusing. 165 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: To build one building, there's like twelve different buckets of 166 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: money they get from, and nobody understands how any of 167 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: it is funded. And if any of those buckets run dry, 168 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: you have what's going on in Cheviot Hills, a motel 169 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: that was supposed to turn into a homeless shelter that's 170 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: been under construction for six years. 171 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: And the more buckets you have, and the more common 172 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: implicated it is, the easier it is for people to 173 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: stick their hand in the till. 174 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 6: Sky Fox above the future site along Kenoga Avenue. 175 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 8: We much needed housing to a population that needs it. 176 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 6: Almost thirty five hundred units are planned, mostly for low 177 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 6: income seniors. What percent of people living here are going 178 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 6: to be seniors? 179 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I don't know. 180 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 6: The exact person. 181 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 2: So it's not senior housing, No, of course not. That's 182 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: how they're going to bill it. But no, because seniors 183 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about them doing meth and 184 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: robbing you and those sorts of things. But if they 185 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: put the bums in, or they put other people with 186 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: other problems in, then the community would go nuts and 187 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: not want it there. 188 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: We got a comment here from tubular Bra on YouTube. 189 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,479 Speaker 1: I love these names. Where do I register as homeless? 190 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: I know that by. 191 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 8: Twenty thirty one million Angelinos will be sixteen and ze. 192 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 6: During the unveiling, the mayor also, yeah, but how many? 193 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: So how much of this building is dedicated towards the 194 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: seniors and how much of it is Section eight for 195 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: the people currently living in a tent? On Owen's mouth. 196 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 6: To address the homeless crisis and open drug use. 197 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: Usually follow the street for a couple of weeks and 198 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: tell me that you're not using something to stay sane 199 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 3: or use. 200 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: Myth Wait, you need to use drugs to stay sane? Yeah, 201 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: I think it's the exact opposite. Karen, let me rewind this. 202 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: You need to hear the mayor in her full words, 203 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: this is the mayor of Los Angeles. 204 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 6: Everybody unveiling the mayor also address the homeless crisis and 205 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 6: open drug use. 206 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: Usually follow the street for a couple of weeks and 207 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: tell me that you're not using something to stay sane, 208 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: or use myth so that you don't go to sleep 209 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 3: to protect yourself. 210 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: After this, use meth so you don't go to leave 211 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: to protect yourself. That is some reasoning. You don't understand. 212 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: All of the people on the streets, they never touched 213 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: drugs before they ended up on the streets. But they 214 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: need the math because, and this is the theory, if 215 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: they're not high on meth at all hours of the night, 216 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna get raped. How about this. 217 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: They lived in a house and then they started doing math, 218 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: and then no one wanted anything to do with them, 219 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 2: so they end up on the streets in the encampments 220 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: with other people who share their love for myth. 221 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: Tom writes in large mouth Bass running her mouth again. 222 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: Now Seedorf got to have the mayor clarify her comments. 223 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 6: Speach, we asked the mayor to clarify. You said that 224 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 6: people are on the street using math for protection. 225 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: Well, no, what I said, that's literally what you said, 226 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: word for word for protection is no. 227 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 3: What I said is is that I know that people 228 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: have used meth to stay awake at night. So they 229 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: don't fall asleep because they're worried about being. 230 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: Assaulted, so they don't get assaulted during the day when 231 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: they use the fenanel to go to bed. 232 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: It's so funny to hear her words repeated back to 233 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: her and she looks at him like, no, that's crazy. 234 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: Who would say that, Well, you did about ten minutes ago. 235 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: It's on tape. The homeless use the meth to protect themselves. 236 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm guessing from the other homeless that want to sexually 237 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: assault them platinir style. 238 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: You know what this reminds me of. Remember on The 239 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: Chappelle Show when they had Rick James on and he 240 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: made some sort of outrageous remark and then they asked him, 241 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: what about this that you just said? He goes, I 242 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: never said that, and then they rewind the tape and 243 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: they play it right back. 244 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: That is exactly what this is. And I would love 245 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: to play that clip, but it is not safer air. 246 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 8: Meth does not protection from the nude. 247 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: You just said. Meth is protection. Share it far, Share 248 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: it wide, Share today's show with anybody you know that 249 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: lives in Los Angeles. You heard her say it and 250 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: then deny it. Karen Bass believes meth is for protection. 251 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 6: Towers soon rising above Woodland hills to the people sleeping 252 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 6: on La streets. The mayor says both are part of 253 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 6: the same fight. 254 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: My goal has always been to n street homelessness. 255 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: And you said you were going to end it by 256 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, John, what year is it. 257 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: Well, let me look at my watch. Oh yeah, it's 258 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. 259 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: That bumps along the way, especially bumps and. 260 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: Funding and bumps of meth, lots of bumps of meth, 261 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: you know, for protection. 262 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 9: And then we have. 263 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: Changes on the federal level. But regardless, I'm gonna stay tuned. 264 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 6: A lot of questions remain about this project, including about 265 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 6: traffic and parking. 266 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: They said, oh, it's going to be a nightmare, and 267 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: I go to that area a lot to go to 268 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: the villages. Jason writes in on YouTube. You only need 269 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: about three percent of the units classified as low income 270 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: to qualify it for all of the low income birding 271 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: permits and free government money. Yeah, I'm not surprised at all. Also, 272 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: these things are always temporary. Then they go to market, right, 273 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: and then we constantly say there's not enough affordable housing. 274 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: Well just think about this for a second. The San 275 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: Fernando Valley is filled with ranch style single family homes. 276 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: That's how it was built, That's what the infrastructure is 277 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: there for. Then all of a sudden, in the middle 278 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: of an area with single family ranch style homes, you 279 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: make it look like midtown Manhattan and you put a 280 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: bunch of people on meth in those buildings. 281 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: Sounds like a great idea. 282 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 6: There's going to be about eight hundred parking spots. I mean, 283 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 6: I asked that this project could have construction. 284 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: Wait a second, eight hundred parking spots for three thousand units. 285 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: That seems about right and completed. 286 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 6: By around twenty twenty nine. We're live to night downtown. 287 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 6: Matthew Sedo or Fox Lovenues. Yeah, Matthew, you talk about 288 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 6: the traffic. I know this area well behind where they're 289 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 6: gonna build this there's. 290 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: A luxury I thought Glenn was a Valley Guy. 291 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 5: Senior apartment building is called the Burial. There's also one 292 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 5: under construction on Canoga and Burbank Boulevard. Between that, You've 293 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 5: got what Dan Cronky's doing at the Warner Center. They're 294 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 5: tearing down the promenade mall. They're gonna build Rams Park 295 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't can the roads handle all that traffic? 296 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: I'll answer for you. They cannot. They can't handle the 297 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: traffic they already have. 298 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a question that a lot of residents are 299 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 6: gonna be having. But as we just heard, they're gonna 300 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 6: have about eight hundred parking spots, about over three thousand 301 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 6: units of people living inside. 302 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 5: Eight hundred parking spots for thirty units. 303 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Glenn's not buying it. No, what could go 304 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: wrong over at meth Towers. We got to comment here 305 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: from Matthew, Karen and Nithia.

Shelley writes in on the 334 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: picture of me of John and I as goat heters, 335 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: Apparently the AI gave me three hands. 336 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: Oh well, maybe you ate some fish out of the 337 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: Tijuana River. 338 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. Look, it is not an exact technology, 339 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: and I'm making these things on very little sleep, with 340 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: not a lot of time. There will occasionally be a mistake, 341 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: but that's the fun of it. 342 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: Eight hundred two two two five two two two is 343 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: telephone number? What eight hundred two two two five two 344 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 2: two two. There is a battle of bruid in the 345 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: city of Dumpy over street vendors. 346 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: There's new regulations being put on street vendors and certain 347 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: street vendors are not happy about it. For more on this, 348 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: let's go to KPIX in the Bay. 349 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: The group of. 350 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 10: Street vendors in Oakland say enforcement actions against them have 351 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 10: become increasingly aggressive. So here we see one vendor being 352 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 10: arrested by Lake Merit and a tent destroyed. And then 353 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 10: today vendors address city council about what they say are 354 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 10: threats to a form of commerce that is part of 355 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 10: the city's tradition and identity. But as Jenremus reports, the 356 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 10: city says they are just enforcing the rules. 357 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: What we don't do that in Oakland. That's what everyone's 358 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: freaking out about. 359 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: You know, if you have a restaurant, you have to 360 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: get inspected by the County Health Department. They come by, 361 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: they test things, They test the temperature and the refrigerator, 362 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: they make sure there's no rodents, and at the end, 363 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: when they add everything up, they give you a letter grade. 364 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 2: The same thing is true for the street vendors, only 365 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: they don't get tested for anything. The letter grade that 366 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: they have just tells you what kind of appatitis you're 367 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: going to get. 368 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 8: For many small business owners in Oakland, their brick and 369 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 8: mortar is what's under their feet. And on this day 370 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 8: a group. 371 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: So where they dumping the grease. 372 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: Well that goes directly into the ocean. 373 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 8: Sidewalk vendors approach the city about what they say are 374 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 8: heavy handed tactics designed to put them out of business. 375 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 8: On Foothill Avenue in Oakland's Fruitvale District, the street vendors 376 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 8: were busy on this afternoon preparing food and drinks for 377 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 8: their customers, but one small group took the day off 378 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 8: to appear before members of the city council. 379 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 11: I want you to know that street vending is not 380 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 11: just about food or commerce, is about dignity. 381 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: Does she have a nose ring? It looks like it. 382 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: It's either a nose ring or there's a big old 383 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 1: boogie she didn't pick uh. 384 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 11: Oh is about who gets to exist in public space. 385 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 8: Need to be as an activist and street vendor, and 386 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 8: says it is part of an Oakland tradition that goes 387 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 8: back generations, but beginning on April first, she says, the 388 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 8: city began cracking down on unlicensed sellers. Videos show city 389 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 8: workers tearing down canopies and throwing coolers and grills into 390 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 8: garbage trucks to be crushed as the owners looked on. 391 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: Okay, that's a little cruel. What don't the yettie do 392 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: to you? Okay? 393 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 2: I don't think I ever consume any food that's purchased 394 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 2: by a woman on the street with a nose ring. 395 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: Also looks like the nose rings A little small agencies have. 396 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 11: Been working together to come onto street vendors without notice, 397 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 11: without warning, without citation, throw away their entirely. 398 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a nose ring anymore. I think 399 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: that is like a mole, Nita. You might need to 400 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: go to a dermatologist. You might want to get that 401 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: checked out. I retract my statement. You're right, that was 402 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: not a nose ring or a booger. Now I feel bad. 403 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 11: Up not just food, but counopies, tables, grills, refrigeration, everything. 404 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 9: It's devastating. 405 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 11: People have completely lost their ability to sustain themselves. They've 406 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 11: destroyed people's entire livelihoods. 407 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 8: Council member Ken Houston says he believes people should be 408 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 8: given fair warning, but he makes no apologies for the 409 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 8: new enforcement efforts. 410 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 12: If you've got to permit and you're legal, it's okay. 411 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 12: If you block in a sidewalk, you don't have trash service, 412 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 12: you don't have a health certificate about it. Alameda County, 413 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 12: you need not be there period. Right, you have to 414 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 12: follow the rules. The city is now enforcing rules. Right, 415 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 12: this is what we're doing now. You have a new administration, 416 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 12: you have a new mayor, you have change in the 417 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 12: City of Oakland. If you used to doing business the 418 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 12: old way, it's not gonna happen any longer. 419 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: But I like Ken Houston. Good for him. Do you 420 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: know who hated Ken Houston with the hot hot hate 421 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: of a thousand suns? Is it our girl Shangy, No, 422 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: it's the other one. 423 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 6: I've been bipped several times. 424 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: Bipy hated Ken Houston. But it's not a difficult thing 425 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: to ask. Okay, you need to get a permit, you 426 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: need to get an inspection. That's not super onerous. Now, 427 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: does that mean they need to crush the coolers? Maybe not, 428 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: but you gotta have certain kinds of standards otherwise it's 429 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: a free for all, like we see in Los Angeles, 430 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: like we see in the mission, or like you now 431 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: see in the gas lamp in San Diego. 432 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 2: I'm all for cooler crushing. You gotta send a message. 433 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 8: It's not hard for the actions to turn tents. Last week, 434 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 8: a young woman named Joyce Moraley was swept up by 435 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 8: police investigating a vendor illegally selling alcohol. She was quickly released, 436 00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 8: but she says it. 437 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: She hiding beers in the hot dog cart. I bet 438 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: you she moves a lot of them. 439 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 8: If she does, doesn't take much for things to take 440 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 8: on a violent edge. 441 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: I think it's very strong and aggressive. 442 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 9: You know, Oakan has always. 443 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 6: Have vendors free. 444 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: Again, if that girl has a nosering one, I'm one 445 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: for two. 446 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 6: Years. 447 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: Like this is not something new that just happened to 448 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: pop up overnight. 449 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 8: Does it feel like a concerted effort? 450 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 4: Now? 451 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 7: I feel like they definitely don't want us there for sure. 452 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 11: I think that hopefully us showing up today and talking 453 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 11: about it, they realize that we see. 454 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 13: What's going on, and we're trying to organize within ourselves. 455 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 13: I think that we're at the point where something has 456 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 13: to change what to call it, because it's becoming so popular. 457 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 8: Jermaine Brewer is a vendor who can see both sides. 458 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 8: He understands why owners of brick and mortar businesses would 459 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 8: object to him simply setting up a canopy on the sidewalk. 460 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like unfair competition. 461 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: If you're going to allow that to happen, and they 462 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: don't have to be inspected by the county, and they 463 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: don't have to pay permits, pay for permits to the city, 464 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 2: and do all of the things that a brick and 465 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 2: mortar business has to do, including being eighty eight compliant 466 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 2: and the rest, then you should just eliminate all of 467 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: those requirements for everyone else. They'd never do that, of course, 468 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: so what they choose to do is just look the 469 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: other way when the street vendors do it. But that's 470 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: not fair. You have to treat everyone equally, and if 471 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 2: you're going to force the brick and mortar restaurants to 472 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: comply with all of those rules and regulations, then the 473 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 2: street vendors should have to do it too. 474 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 8: But he says most vendors are simply utilizing one of 475 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 8: the few ways they have to make an honest living. 476 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: Well, Okay, that was like three different deep friers in 477 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: that thing. Where are they dumping the grease? 478 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 13: Good question without selling drugs, which they'll be a totally 479 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 13: different thing. So I think people are just trying to 480 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 13: find a ground in entrepreneurship and move forward what you 481 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 13: call it, that can put us in a better place. 482 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 8: He hopes a compromise can be reached that will allow 483 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 8: people like him who dream of bigger things to get 484 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 8: their start. 485 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: So the vend Meanwhile, La County doubles down in the 486 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: other direction. We're actually giving away free cards to anyone 487 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: that wants them. 488 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they've just turned it into a civil rights issue. 489 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: They assume that all of them are ial legal aliens, 490 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: so they don't want ICE to deport them, so they 491 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 2: bend over backwards to make them happy. 492 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: Well, and that is something specifically that was done by 493 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: now Insurance Commissioner, but then State Senator Ricardo Laura. 494 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 14: I'm very kind of sketch. 495 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: Who passed a bill. I think I have this correctly 496 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: SB nine six in twenty eighteen, that decriminalized all aspects 497 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: of street vending. If the county's opted in San Francisco, 498 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: opted in San Diego, Los Angeles, I believe Alameda opted 499 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: in as well. So even if they're actually actually based 500 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: on what we're seeing here, Alameda might have not opted 501 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: in because when there's ever issues with street vendors, the 502 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: police are not allowed to be involved in the mission 503 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: in San Francisco in MacArthur Park where they're just selling 504 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: stolen goods. In Los Angeles and we're seeing all kinds 505 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: of fights about the s San Diego police not being 506 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: able to enforce the ordinances to ban the street vending 507 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: in the gas lamp, Alameda County may have not opted 508 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: into that law, which is why you saw OPD shutting 509 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: down some of these street vendors that don't have permits 510 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: good for say they would like it might be the 511 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: first time on the show we said Alameda County did 512 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: something better than the others. 513 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 10: To open a dialogue with the city, something they say 514 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 10: didn't happen before enforcement actions began. 515 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: So there you go, that's going on. That's what's going 516 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: on with the Oakland street vendors. Ken Houston keeps it simple, 517 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: if you want to vend on the street, you got 518 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: to get a permit. That doesn't seem too onerous, now, 519 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: does it. 520 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: I love that eight hundred two to two five two 521 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 2: two two is telephone number.

If you're staying at 641 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: a hotel, you kind of have to say who's going 642 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: to be in the hotel. You can have a pack 643 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 1: of twelve teens takeover an Airbnb and then it gets 644 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: all crazy.

I stayed 649 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 2: one up in Sacramento and I saw a door open 650 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 2: of a room on the way to the elevator, and 651 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 2: people just kept coming out and coming out and coming 652 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 2: out and coming out and coming out. And I thought 653 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 2: to myself, is this a lion witch and the wardrobe 654 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 2: or something? Is there's some land of Narnia that this 655 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 2: is leading to. How many people can fit in one 656 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 2: of these rooms. 657 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: The Raven writes in on YouTube that council meeting looks 658 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: like a Karen takeover. I like that guy's shirt though, 659 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 1: and Barry writes in and says, get off my lawn. 660 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 7: And now that is part of the crackdown that many 661 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 7: of the neighbors want to see here, especially the size 662 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 7: of the crowd itself, making a point that whenever you 663 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 7: have a big event to big venue, they have a capacity, 664 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 7: and once the crowd hits that capacity, they stop. They 665 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 7: don't allow anymore in in this case, not allowing any 666 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 7: more to cross the bridge onto the peninsula. Will have 667 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 7: to wait and see what type of action, what type 668 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 7: of these recommendation city leaders take, so this doesn't happen 669 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 7: yet again next July fourth. For now, we're a live 670 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 7: at Newport Beach. 671 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: Back to the west side. We go yep alas goes 672 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: everybody down in Newport Beach. 673 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: You see, this is why in so many beach communities 674 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: they make it very difficult to have access to the beach. 675 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: How often do we do stories in Malibu where residents, 676 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 2: including I believe Barbara Streisand is one of them where 677 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: they find ways to illegally block access to the beach 678 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: so that people can't get to the sand, because if 679 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 2: you can get to the sand, for many of them, 680 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 2: that's the backyard. So they want to keep you out. 681 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: They want to keep the riff raf out. But I 682 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 2: think that that's not legal. I don't think you're allowed 683 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: to do that. You're technically supposed to allow access to 684 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 2: things like the beach, but the people who live there 685 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 2: definitely don't want the trash coming in from other areas 686 00:36:59,120 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 2: and wrecking their. 687 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: It does happen. 688 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 2: It did happen, and it almost happened in Huntington Beach too, 689 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 2: and then Knotsberry. 690 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: Farm they shut that down before it even started. So 691 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: we've seen some real positive improvements in Orange County. You 692 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: want to do that nonsense, You do it up here 693 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 1: in LA. That's right. 694 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: They shut it down so fast those kids didn't even 695 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 2: get to taste any boison berry
