Was it filmed before the homeless explosion in that area?Originally Posted by tableplay
I was in that area back in the early 2000's and it wasn't too bad.
Went back around 2012 and it was completely different.
Same goes for Portland Oregon.
Both cities completely changed in that regard.
So did Vegas for that matter but Vegas recently changed the laws about sidewalk camping.
On a personal note, I had some campers behind my house a few weeks back.
I was really close to patrolling the area with a few loaded weapons but waited it out for a few weeks as risk/reward was far more on the risk side of me losing my freedom.
Technically, they weren't on my property or the associations property.
Turned out that my thinking that the sun/heat would destroy them eventually.
They moved and I was glad because I wasn't going to be able to stay civil much longer.
As I told one of my neighbors, this is the price of urban living and the depletion of chairs in a game of musical chairs.
Would of paid them to leave but figured they would just tell all their friends that I pay campers lol.
I'm not against homeless people as I chose that lifestyle myself when I was younger.
But I am against camping close to peoples property or businesses.
When I was homeless I slept in the park, on the bus, in a shelter, in the poker room, in my car, in 24hr fitness or in the sportsbook like a respectable person should.
Best thing you can buy while being homeless is a gym membership.
Its an unfair world, so it really helps to be a Tall White Anglo Saxon Protestant in America, if your homeless.
Some of this information does not apply to homeless minorities.
