So it's been 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: twenty two years of bad mayors, like appallingly astonishingly bad mayors, 46 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: destriven bad mayors. 47 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 3: For the most part, the el Segundo Times writer who 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: did the story a Jean Merle, it was mostly positive. 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: By the time he departed office eight years after he 50 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: took office, much of his vision for a cleaner, safer, 51 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: better functioning city had been realized. Crime was down, the 52 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 3: local economy had rebounded, and although the LAPD remained short 53 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: of its goals, it had grown to a record number 54 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: of officers. 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: How about that? 56 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: And even the El Segundo socialist communist propaganda prov the 57 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: Times couldn't find anything bad to say about Dick Reardon. 58 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: Where does that tell you? 59 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 4: No? 60 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: And the guy, you know what, he was a Republican, 61 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: a businessman, a white guy. And even the La Times 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: couldn't find anything bad to say because if you were 63 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: here during the nineties, the city was booming and it 64 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: was clean. The only vagrants were the ones confined to 65 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: skid row nowhere else. Crime went way down. Also, three 66 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: strikes got passed in the state, so the bad guys 67 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: were put in prison where they couldn't harm anybody. 68 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got help on that. Yeah. 69 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: But and of course you told this story for years. 70 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: I'm surprised it didn't pop out of your mouth quickly. 71 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: All he did after the Northridge earthquake, build the Santa 72 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: Monica Freeway. 73 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: How he got things done really. 74 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: Quickly, it says here he immediately set up an emergency 75 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: command center at his office at city Hall and went 76 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: right to work on how to make sure the city 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: came back from the northwards earthquake of nineteen ninety four. 78 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again with Pete Wilson, who was the governor 79 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: at the time, they gave construction incentives to the companies 80 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: that had to rebuild Inner State ten and got it 81 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: done in just a few months. 82 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the whole freeway had collapsed. 83 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: It collapsed and crumbled, and it was built in a 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: just a few months, and the contractors walked away with 85 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: a big bonus. That's what you do when when you 86 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: govern successfully. There was there were no delays, there was 87 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: no dithering around, there were no stupid side social issues 88 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: that they got hung up and distracted by. They simply 89 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: everybody went to work and you know, laid down the 90 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: concrete and the asphalt and rebuilt the thing. 91 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 3: That's what you get when you get a businessman as mayor, 92 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 3: because they roll up their sleeves and say, all right, 93 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: particularly a problem like that, if that's about bureaucracy and 94 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 3: building something. Everybody's in favor of rebuilding the freeway, So 95 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: how can I get the fastest and best way to 96 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: do this?

It was back in October of twenty twenty 232 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: one when a woman on a movie set, a movie 233 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: called Russ starring Alec Baldwin. Her name was Helena Hutchins. 234 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: She died from a gunshot wound. Alec Baldon was the 235 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 3: man holding the gun. It was Western they were filming, 236 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: and it was completely from all reports, shoddy safekeeping when 237 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: it comes to the weapons and the bullets on the 238 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: entire movie said this happened in New Mexico. He was 239 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 3: charged in late January with two counts of involuntary manslaughter 240 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: and the shooting death, but that got watered down two 241 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: months ago. They downgraded felony penalties against him and the 242 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: armor and the shooting. 243 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: That was this woman, Hannah. 244 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: Gudiera's reid, who apparently was out there for the first 245 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 3: time in a major film shoot, and that was she 246 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 3: was also responsible for the shoddy keeping of the weapons 247 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 3: and everything. So the news this afternoon said, all charges 248 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: are gone. 249 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 7: There you go. 250 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: What provoked this? 251 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 2: What she didn't die, He didn't pull the trigger, the 252 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: bullet didn't leave his gun. 253 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: And had her. 254 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: Lawsuits and they paid up in lawsuits. But charges are gone. 255 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: He deserved prison. That's not a crime. 256 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: No, But you point a loaded gun at somebody, he'd 257 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: pull the trigger and they'd die right in front of you, 258 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 2: and there's no crime up. 259 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: Wow. 260 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: Well then why did they make such a big deal 261 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: about charging them? I mean it took what a year? 262 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: It did? 263 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 2: Right, So they take a whole year of an investigation, 264 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: then they dramatically announced charges and then a few months 265 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: later never mind, Well what changed? 266 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: Was she not dead? Did he not pull a trigger 267 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: with somebody else? 268 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: The DA on the case also left. That happened in March. 269 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: She just outright quit. There's not another DA. Well another 270 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: lawyer in New Mexico? 271 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 2: Are no? 272 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Were they the last one? 273 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 3: It just says that it was a shoddily put together case 274 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 3: from the beginning. They just didn't have it shoddily put together, 275 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: meaning it was not going to work. They thought it trials, 276 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 3: so they just decided to give up. He pulled the trigger. 277 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 3: Well it hit the woman. Yeah, what else do you 278 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 3: need to know? Now? 279 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: That was a decision. You don't even have to put 280 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: together a case. He pulled the trigger. She's dead. That's 281 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: the end of the case. 282 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: So originally they could have faced like a year or 283 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: two in jail at prison, and then that got taken 284 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 3: away when I got it reduced to another lower. 285 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: Charge, so get paid off ail time. I doubt it. 286 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think it's a I don't 287 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: doubt anything anymore. No, you don't, you don't. 288 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 3: All right, now, we turn our attention to the homeless 289 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: camp that is getting a lot of attention in the 290 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: Beverly Grove neighborhood of Los Angeles. We've talked about this 291 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: a few times, and it's because people there are noticing 292 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 3: things like a naked lady who apparently likes to sleep 293 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: on a couch nearby. So one of the people in 294 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: the story that we've talked about is the city council 295 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: member responsible for that area. 296 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: She's brand new, Katie Yaroslavsky. She is the docter in 297 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: law of zev Yaroslavsky. 298 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: And for the first time, other than a statement, I 299 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: think we're gonna hear her speak anyway. 300 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: We have a report. 301 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to listen to this. There's so much 302 00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: horsemaneur in this story. 303 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 3: Kate Cow News reporter Tom Wait reports on the homeless 304 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: encampment and all that goes with it. 305 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 8: It is heartbreaking because I sympathize what the people who 306 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 8: are living out here like this. 307 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 5: It's the homeless crisis on full display along San Vicente 308 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 5: near the Beverly Center. Kathy, who asked that we not 309 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 5: use her last name, works in this area. She offered 310 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 5: this sobering assessment of what we see here. 311 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 8: To know that children, our children are walking down this 312 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 8: street looking at this, this is the country that they're 313 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 8: growing up in. 314 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: It they have to be. 315 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 8: Thinking, is this is this what I'm going to go through? 316 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 8: Am I going to be homeless? 317 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: We first told you about this encampment last week. What 318 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 5: was a few tenths began to grow quickly. Located in 319 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 5: Beverly Grove, it's Katie Euroslovsky's district, just across the street 320 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 5: from Beverly Hills. 321 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 9: The main pitch point right now for me and my 322 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 9: team and the mayor's team is a lack of access 323 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 9: to beds, and we just we simply don't have interim 324 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 9: beds in on the west side and certainly not in 325 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 9: council district to bring those one quickly. We're looking at 326 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,359 Speaker 9: more equipped to scale options like motels. 327 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 5: Yarvslavsky is also questioning whether the city's anti camping ordnance, 328 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 5: known as forty one eighteen, is really effective. Council members 329 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 5: have ordered an evaluation. 330 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 9: Instead of seeing larger encampments in your freeway underpasses or 331 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 9: alleyways or whatever, you saw one or two tenths all 332 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 9: over the place because people were scattering due to forty 333 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 9: one eighteen, and so it really does have to be 334 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 9: paired with credible offers of housing. 335 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 5: Meanwhile, state legislators are questioning the approach to funding outreach 336 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 5: on the homeless crisis. A bipartisan effort is underway to 337 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 5: audit how billions are being spent on housing and treatment. 338 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: For the first time the history of the state of California, 339 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: we've put out fifteen billion dollars at a time. 340 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 10: Is it just that the money's slow, It is our 341 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 10: decisions being made that it goes somewhere else. There's way 342 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 10: more questions that most legislators have right now. 343 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 5: So for now, the crisis persists and solutions are far 344 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 5: from simple. They need help, they can They should not 345 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 5: be out here, Council member Yardslovsky says, outreach teams from 346 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 5: the Mayor's office and her office are out here daily. 347 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 5: She says she hopes to find beds so that people 348 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 5: in this encampment in the next two weeks. 349 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: Sometimes TV news reports it's either the obvious or the outrageous, right, 350 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: and it was a mix of both in there, from 351 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 3: people like oh, this is said and terrible, they need help. 352 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: Get Katie Yaroslavsky who's claiming there's no beds now. She 353 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 3: did sort of narrow that down by saying, in my. 354 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: District there, Well, what do they have? Why do they 355 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: have to be in her district? They do not. You 356 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: are exactly right, garbage. These are not natives from the district. 357 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: They are not part of the community, even though this 358 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 3: crowd likes to call them that the unhoused of our community. 359 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: You know, if that's how she's conducting the cleanup and 360 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: finding housing, then she's incompetent. She's incompetent, fool. They don't 361 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: have to be in the district, he didn't. 362 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: We find out from Steve Gregory Camfiknews that there was 363 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 3: lots of beds in the county available. Yes, because it's 364 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 3: a few near the Beverly Center, the Beverly Grove neighborhood. 365 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: Then there's nothing we can do. They don't have citizenship 366 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: in Beverly Grove. Put them on a bus and take 367 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: them anywhere where they're going to be inside. 368 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 2: Most of them wandered from out of state and out 369 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: of the city. Okay, Beverly Hills. These aren't people who 370 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: couldn't afford the rent and Beverly Hills or at Hancock Park. 371 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: These are people who didn't displaced billionaire. 372 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not former executives at Bloomingdale's at the Beverly Center. 373 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: All right, this is not their neighborhood. This is not 374 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: where they grew up. This is where they passed out, 375 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: where they made like five hundred bad decisions in their life, 376 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: and they ended up on San Jacente Boulevard in a tent, 377 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 2: stoned or whacked out on meth. 378 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: What is she not? 379 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: There are beds Andy Bales from the Union Mission told 380 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Times that in a story just a 381 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, how many how many empty units 382 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: there are now? And then they get this this state 383 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: Representative Dave Cortesi. Oh, yes, right, well, billions and billions 384 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: of dollars we've spent. What do you mean, there's no space, 385 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 2: no temporary space, really no beds. 386 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: This is why we had Caruso. What was he gonna do. 387 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: He was gonna build like FEMA like units with thirty 388 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: thousand beds and within a year. And the thing is, 389 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: I don't care if they don't like it. That would 390 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: force the city to take them off the street. You 391 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: make an offer of a bed, the homeless vagrant has 392 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: to go. And didn't Karen Bess say it was a 393 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: myth that people didn't want to help. 394 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: If they've outreached. 395 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: Already to all these people, as Yaroslavsky claims, then if 396 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: why didn't they accept the outreach? No, she's making stuff up, 397 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: she's flying. So she stands there and lies. And what's 398 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 2: what the reporter, Tom Waite, don't you understand that they're 399 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: all lying to you. Reporting everybody's life is not reporting. 400 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: Reporting everybody's lives is not journalism. It doesn't inform us, 401 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: it doesn't help anything. You're just passing along lies.

Some of its nonsense, 426 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 3: but one good section was on homelessness. And of course 427 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: the first part is the people that are worried that 428 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: they're gonna have thought into homelessness. But this part, almost 429 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: three quarters of residence, seventy three percent said their quality 430 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: of life has been impacted in the last year by 431 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 3: a particular homeless encampment. Can you believe that? I guess 432 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 3: you can, considering all that we've talked about the last 433 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: several years. 434 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: But yeah, and. 435 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 3: A particular homeless encamp that is affecting their quality of life. 436 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 3: And so here's why I saw that, and I was 437 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: may or, I'd be like, oh my god, what a 438 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: horrendous place we've got here, right, And this is a 439 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 3: major impact was reported by forty three percent. Yeah, this 440 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 3: is this is the legacy Garcetti, This is Garcettiville. 441 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: Oh he let it get completely dirty. Yeah, I mean, 442 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: I'm just reading about Reardon. There wasn't one word about 443 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: homelessness in the obituary on Reardon in the Times today. 444 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: It was what, not one word. It wasn't even an issue. 445 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: Nobody ever brought it up. 446 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: No, it wasn't even a big issue. Really during Tony 447 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 3: Volara's time, No, it wasn't. But I remember with Garcetti 448 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 3: it started with garbage. I still remember this. Like five 449 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: years ago, we started noticing a lot of garbage, and 450 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 3: that to me is that broken window theory. Once you 451 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: start tolerating all the garbage people dumping garbage everywhere, homeless 452 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 3: with dumping garbage, and then because of Prop forty seven, the. 453 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: Homeless just it blew up that problem. 454 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: And then he told the police not to not to 455 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: interfere with the with the drug addicted vagrants and mental 456 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: patients in the street. 457 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: Right. 458 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 2: There was a thing in Reason magazine just this week 459 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: I found and it was comparing how other states do 460 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: way better dealing with homeless than LA And. 461 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: It's it's been three years after they passed Prop. 462 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: Hhh, it's been more than three years now, but at 463 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 2: the three year mark, the city had completed just one 464 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: percent of the promise, ten thousand units, costing between five 465 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: and eight hundred thousand dollars each. And they had a 466 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: quote from Andy Bales in this, the Union Rescue Mission CEO, 467 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: and he had said a few years ago that some 468 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: of my counterparts who depend on the proposition money, they're 469 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 2: afraid to speak the truth. They can't speak the truth, 470 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 2: otherwise they would get in great difficulty and be defunded. 471 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: I think pride in arrogance is holding us back from 472 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 2: doing some of the needed things that we need to 473 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: do to immediately solve this issue, and that would be 474 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: building temporary housing. There's no excuse that they haven't built 475 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 2: temporary housing. They could get thousands and thousands of people 476 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 2: off the street quickly. They simply refuse to do it. 477 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: And it's been going on for years. 478 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 3: Because now the push is permanent supportive housing, but they 479 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: can't build it. 480 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: No, they can't. 481 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: They haven't. And it's as if the skid row housing 482 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 3: thing downtown, the twenty nine buildings is supposed to be that, 483 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: and that's a catastrophe. 484 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: So the ones we had are being destroyed by the 485 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 2: homeless that they put inside twenty nine buildings destroyed. So 486 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: we're going backwards now we're now losing units. 487 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: Ah Now. 488 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Dippity Do Gavin Newsom showed up yesterday in San 489 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 3: Francisco along with the Attorney General Rob Bonta to walk 490 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 3: around the Tenderloin neighborhood. We've talked about that that's like 491 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 3: drug overdose central, probably in all of California. 492 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: They set up like a heroin site, a public heroin 493 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 2: injection site. 494 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: Here is the story, the ideas.

Once you become their friend and then 517 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 6: they trust you, then you can start offering him those 518 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 6: things that I offered him, like getting treatment, going to rehab. 519 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: He's just said, you got to build a relationship with them. 520 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: In our needy. 521 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 6: To build a relationship with them, you got to get 522 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 6: out there and speak to them. 523 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 10: Businesses like Golden Gate Rides in the Tenderloin welcomes any 524 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 10: effort to solve the crisis on the streets. I think 525 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 10: everybody sees it on TV, but to actually feel it 526 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 10: is a little different.
