Officials say the clean up has noting to do with the big game, but is an effort to address fire safety concerns. NBC News Guad Venegas spoke with one woman who’s encampment under the freeway got cleared away.

#LosAngeles #SuperBowl #HomelessEncampments
Why can’t we just end homelessness by, um…. You know, getting rid of homeless people. If they literally have no one else left, they don’t deserve to suffer anymore on earth. Let God take them into his place for comfort
Why didn’t they clean up all the homeless peeps and put them in a section to attend the game.?
I bet illegal immigrants don’t have any issues getting government housing right away.
We have more empty houses than people and people are still homeless.
Cleanup should NOT fall on taxpayers.
Homeless encampments are a horrible look for any city and that fact that LA leadership are abysmally incompetent makes it that much worse.
Bums
The dems paradise. Are you proud yet?
66,000 homeless holy thats nuts
Nomads don’t need all that overwhelming collection of stuff make keep it light
Spokanevalley shopping is sad to see people who have nothing but tents squatting on city land no facilities crowded scary no one comes out
Systemic failures of capitalism.
Just put all of them in prison for that spicy 13th Amendment prison labor. Clean streets and no-cost workforce.
They think people are stupid, of course Their gonna clean up for the super bowl
This is the beginning of the end.
The NFL should feed and house then. This is despicable.
This is so sad, why can’t build more low income housing and stop putting immigrants in free housing and leaven Americans on the streets.
UBI?
It’s not that bad, the homeless camps are only on the sidewalks. The streets and freeways are not blocked by homeless camps at all. There are plenty of good neighborhoods in LA to choose from.
It’s not because you’re homeless, it’s because you’re destroying the environment of public property.
CALIFORNIA IS THE THIRD LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.
just want to remind you all of that fun lil fact
I have compassion for the homeless, but compassion is destroying cities everywhere.
You guys, it’s so bad there. Like 3rd world country in parts.
That’s what dems are good about. Covering up their sin and mis-deeds.
We can not help these homeless because they can not help themselves !!! They are lazy. They sleep all day! Look at them , they don’t do anything productive !!!
Where is the Ram’s customer service Team???!!! You didn’t do that photographer right either…#yousuck
There is a vacant military base in CA named Alameda Naval Air Station in Alameda, CA – The politicians can use this vacant compound to assist the homeless with temporary housing , mental illness, drug addiction, jog training assistance. Time to provide solutions.
*”If you’re homeless, just go buy a house!”*
Said so many brainless idiots.
People are so disconnected from whats going on.
Lol it’s the land of the free MAGA
I used to live in California and here’s my observation… There are illegal immigrants who work 2-5 jobs to avoid being homeless… And there are homeless people who are 100% capable of doing a job, but just refuse to work.. kind of ironic..
Furthermore, California is home to hundreds of ghost towns that can provide home to all these people but they decide they’ll build new ones instead.
I have also volunteered for food pantry… You can give them seeds and tell them to grow it themselves so they will have something to eat by end of the season, but they’d rather starve to death than grow something they can eat. It is a mental issue— it’s called laziness. It is selfish to expect other people to take care of you when there are other people who migrates with absolutely nothing and are able to make ends meet.
If a Republican did this, the media would react very very very differently. They would be insulted saying, homeless people are human beings!!!! struggling to get by day to day with living lmao.
All cities in the country should give one-way tickets to their homeless to California. It is much easier to live outside with such a good weather year around.
The USA is pure DEVIL, it is the most ridiculous country in the world. It helps foreigners more than its own citizens.
Most Dont know wats it’s like to be homeless I am homeless myself
What’s the purpose of creating more housing for people that can’t afford to live in them? That’s a dumb solution.
The government has plenty of cash and power to help those without a home but couldn’t care less. They make more money with them on the streets than in homes.
This has been going on for years, and the city is planning to add more hires to their inflated payroll managing poverty. The entire administration is a cesspool of corruption and nepotism. This is a state run by Democrats.
Let’s face the facts. Most homeless people are on drugs and gave up on life. If you’re a hardworking human being who never gives up, you’ll never end up there. You do everything you can to not end up there. These people WANT this lifestyle. Why should we grant them housing and money? For what? So they can do more drugs?
Please!!!! Make the cleanup permanent!!!!!!
Maybe biden thinks letting in millions of immigrants, they will pitch in and help the homeless.
Enough is a enough if laws are not enforced this is what you get. They want to clean it up now that Trump is not in office how convenient.
You relocate homeless and find them shelter’s the next day you find them again out in the streets of LA so sick mostly are druggists 😠😥😨
Quit voting for these liberal democrats! Vote Red! democrats destroy everything!
I feel bad the animals. Not the people, plenty of jobs to be had out there.
This is such a disgrace! In the wealthiest country in the world, hundreds of thousands of desperate people sleeping on the street! HUD says it rocks cost 20 billion per year to fix the homeless problem. Somehow, the federal government just can’t find the money. But they just sent 15 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine!
Go to work bum
The only free people in America are the homeless
it’s like if you homeless why you just buy a home
How sad is this we bring an immigrant Freedom help him out but we can help other people in our own country
why government still don’t do anything… only music, movie,celebrities and rich people have evolution ,, where are the genius people in the America? why don’t you think 🤔 America is the first world that have a voice very loud… help each other..
Supposedly all these leaders are highly educated, what are the big common sense that rents are too high? the cost of living is too high in California?
How do people live in big houses with all their needs. Some don’t have a home or food. Where is the justice?
Classic California
So it takes a superbowl?
Did the same for the Oscars recently. Rich Democrat Celeb Elites didn’t wanna have to see all those ‘filthy poor people.’ Stop voting for Democrats Cali. Peace. 👊
“Bidenvilles”
Call Biden and Harris
😂😂🤣🤣
get those undesirables out of there…
Just show the pretty part but when we go there visit stay like with the open mouth and shocked…. Sad sad now is comum problem in everywhere in the world and can get even worst
Public housing? Promises promises….
They made me move my old urine-soaked sofa from underneath the bridge, and now I have to walk 6 blocks to get my tweak *twitch* instead of getting at home, under the bridge delivery. Also, how is the ministry supposed to deliver meals for me, when they don’t where I’ve moved to!? It’s almost like you want me to work for my survival!
AHH THANKS 😊 YOUR COMMENT GAVE ME A GIGGLE 😃
At least the Homeless Should pick Up garbage and their self…Most are on drugs and LAZY too???
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ✅
During the Great Depression they called such encampments Hoovervilles, after President Hoover. Maybe we should start calling them Congressvilles, in recognition of the service Congress does for the rich and their lobbyists.

Listen to Uriah Heep song called “Lady In Black” and “come away Melinda”
All that money you have to focus cuz it’s not no shortage of money in la
Capitalism=Pure Evil
SOCIALISM IS THE ONLY SOLUTION!!!!!
Socialism is the scurg of society what has it bout welfare dependence homelessness encampments, public streets used as shooting galaxies and toilets and l dare not think what else.
Allocating billions? Maybe that’s why the problem hasn’t been fixed yet.
the usa is doing nothing for thier homless
Instead of supporting the useless liar user Ms A “Karen” Turd, Mr Billionaire Elon Musk should help and donate his money to buy and donate the land and build his modular homes to help the homeless…
This issue shows the real problem, Our people from our own country ain’t worth more than foreigners….
Most homeowners don’t even speak English
Entertainment is more important than homelessness.
Apparently. I see a lot of homeless casually relaxing in encampment all day instead of spending time taking steps to improve situation.
In what way America is rich, when people are sleeping on roads
I love this city but I can’t believe that as rich as LA county and California are, we still can’t get this problem resolved. It’s the biggest issue in California, which is the richest US state and the 5th economy in the world! I can only imagine what tourists think when they come here to visit Hollywood and Hollywood Boulevard and see tents right on one of the main streets in LA. We spend money on the dumbest sh** but we can’t create a social program to get someone out of homelessness and also clean the streets cuz jeez the trash problem has gotten very bad in the last 3 years too
HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS
It should be illegal to be homeless and a public nuisance and you should face either fines or prison. They all have money they just don’t tell you and they extort the system because it’s easy.
ABSOLUTELY the whole thing is OUTRAGEOUS! A spit in the face to decent citizens!
Yes, compassion and kindness from grown children who abuse their parents love and protection. Parents have to put up their homes for their children when they are arrested and go to court. When the children do not show up to court, the parents lose their homes to the ombudsman. Today children of rich parent are affected as well, the drugs are in their neighborhoods along with the liquor stores, and people who know how to scam, can go after rich people homes.
Sister Monteblanco
Thanks Be To God
Where is the bathroom like where are they taking a crap at on the ground fox
The old white lady sitting in the chair that’s dawn she’s been homeless for years sadly. She used to hang out at the Culver center in Culver city. They used to always make her leave I guess that’s why she’s in Inglewood now but sadly she’s still homeless.
That is right these people can’t keep doing this to LA
They are eating good, not skinny
Land of the free indeed.
You got that right!
Lots of jobs out there…just saying
Most jobs are awful they didn’t pay anymore they lose workers. Most people quit jobs and don’t want work for free to lose their lifespan humans
OH GOD TAKE PITY ON USA CITIZENS , THE WRETCHED ONES
DIE DESPOTISCHEN REGIME SIND BERLINER
Disgusting we should deport all of them to Alaska. They can hunt their own food and live in their tents up their.
ABSOLUTELY love the idea!! Let’s try to get it through the leftist morons would throw it out of congress! The world is going down the drain!
2:48
The only Angels there are fallen
usa can’t afford it….we need to send Ukraine 80 billions instead
ALLEGEDLY: “OVER 9,000 HOMELESS, WHICH, ARE NOT NEIGHBORS, ESPECIALLY, WALK ABOUTS, TO THE VOLITIONING UNITED STATES, CALIFORNIA, GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES’ HOMES!!!!!!”
Even if you give everyone a free house,
The government can’t help but stick its nose in peaples business.
And so as soon as they restrict behavior on people what happens is,
You know what keep your dam house
I’m going to get high under a bridge
Where I don’t have to listen to your bs.
sad from garden grove california
i came from viet nam in 1984 , when i was 14 i am 54 year old from garden grove california . there are homeless every where the rich get richer in california . a lot of people can not pay 1800 a month for 1 bed room apartment in my home town garden grove california . my three children were born in orange county california can not buy a house in orange county even they have good jobs , these people need help either drug or money problem . they are part of us in orange county
Oh yeah more laws and more money is gonna solve this problem. Oh wait. No it won’t!!!!!
How can these people take care of animals? Where is the Humane Society?
There are so many abandoned homes why can’t the homeless be relocated to these properties? With all the millions being allocated to the homeless issue, homes could be renovated by the homeless who want to better themselves!
There is only one way to deal with this disgrace of humanity
God give them an area and put them to work. California needs cleaned up. They could paint, scrub, and remove trash. There is tree trash that can be cleaned up. Human waist. Give them food for helping and safety. Beats just setting and doing nothing and gives purpose in life. If California people don’t like the idea of homeless they should be more than willing to open up that extra room in their house to help a brother out.
Billions to go into their pockets!!! Finland haven’t NO HOMELESS! They know exactly what they’re doing not to mention organ harvesting how much people coming up missing left and right.
I haven’t even been in California long and I’ve been told by others that homeless people are actually paid by the government to live on the street
Are you trying to help big time home? How much people to move in Bernie Bernie Sander yeah he’s the one are so infected that seven dollars in healthcare really what about homeless people what about that? Bernie Sanders about how much people I know and give him. I’m not here to do that because I’m not that person. I’m here to help mine on people and I’m trying to do that.
