If Your salary is $3500 and rent for one-bedroom apartment is $2800 then whose fault is this? Who created this system is responsible for what we see on the streets. F the government, F the politics!

So sad to see these beautiful girls throw their lives away on drugs like this and working the streets . There are good m n out there that would’ve loved and cherished them but instead they chose to work the streets and get high for a quick fix .

Hopefully Spencer Pratt gets elected mayor and can actually DO SOMETHING about all the crime and drugs. Cali is such a shithole...

Powerful and deeply sobering. This is the real deal—no sugarcoating, just the hard truth about what’s happening to our communities. We need more honest journalism like this in today's world. Thank you for sharing this.

The same experiment is being played out in every North American city with the same results. California isn't the exception. A city without drugs, overdoses and homelessness would be the exception.California is the normal, for Canadian cities as well.

The drug and homeless problems are spreading all over the USA I'm now retired, sold absolutely everything I had up in the USA including my properties and relocated South to Mexico , I recently took a trip to visit friends and family up in California, Texas , Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Iowa and man , it's so sad and unbelievable what I saw , all the homeless people and drug addiction all over , for example up in California ,parks and places we used to hang out like park's or even walking down a sidewalk , you can't now , there's homeless people, used needles and 💩💩💩 all over the place and the smell is unbearable !! It's sad what our beloved beautiful country has become ..... 😢😢😢

Look at the dog in this footage. The heartbreaking truth is that this engineered housing collapse doesn't just destroy human lives; it traps innocent animals on the concrete alongside the owners who love them. Fentanyl is the devastating aftermath, but being priced out of existence by a greedy establishment is the root cause. We are on the ground in California right now filming our 2026 documentary series, focusing heavily on these tragic human-animal survival stories. The loyalty of these pets is beautiful, but the system that put them on the streets is evil. 🐕💔▶

This only goes to show in full technicolour that the US capatlist system under the Duopoly is not working and completely broken down America needs to reject the evil ideology of speed and greed and repent, then things are like to radically change for the better, the homeless could use the Olympics in LA to cover this crisis to the rest of the world, thank you Narillee.
