Downtown Los Angeles has been described as ‘third world’ after shocking footage revealed a homeless encampment with open fires in the street and trash-covered sidewalks.
The startling video, posted to X by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, shows dozens of homeless people sitting and standing on filthy sidewalks on the corner of San Pedro Street and 6th Street in the Skid Row neighborhood of LA.
Some are seen standing around an open fire in the street, just moments away from the Midnight Mission, a $17 million center for the homeless.
Billionaire tycoon Elon Musk, who has previously been vocal on the state of California’s homelessness crisis, summarized the video with one word: ‘wow’.
‘Gavin Newsom’s California is the richest state but its cities resemble those of Third World countries’ one X user said.

‘If you didn’t tell us this was LA we would think this was a city in a third-world country!’ another commented.
A third added: ‘Funny how the Hollywood elites are so outspoken about citizens of other countries living in 3rd world conditions but stay silent about their own backyard.’
LA is currently home to more than 46,000 unhoused people, a 10 percent increase on the previous year, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
Homelessness in downtown LA in particular has exploded since the pandemic, with more than 10,000 more unhoused people on the streets since 2019.
Since 2015 homelessness in the city has increased 70 percent.
Services such as the Midnights Mission, whose main center stands just meters from the shocking video circulated online, have been pushed to the limits of their resources.
The Mission serves three meals a day to those living on the streets, as well as providing services such as temporary accommodation, a barbershop, and a women’s crisis center.
In just three years female homelessness in LA has increased 55 percent, according to the organization.
Since 2015 homelessness in the city has increased 70 percent
Los Angeles County has a budget of $609.7 million to tackle homelessness in 2023-2024, $61.8 million more than the previous year
Over 90 percent of those women have experienced physical or sexual assault.
In August it emerged that the city had resorted to sending mobile teams with oxygen cylinders to Skid Row in a desperate bid to prevent overdoses as the area becomes gripped by an opioid crisis.
Workers from the non profit Homeless Health Care Los Angeles now patrol the streets among snaking lines of makeshift dwellings where homeless people can be seen sleeping among the few belongings they own – as others in dire health inject or smoke illicit substances.
Los Angeles County has a budget of $609.7 million to tackle homelessness in 2023-2024, $61.8 million more than the previous year.
The budget goes towards reducing encampments, increasing interim and permanent housing placements and ramping up mental health and substance use disorder services for people experiencing homelessness.

Despite efforts California’s Governor Gavin Newsom admitted last summer that the state’s homeless crisis was a ‘disgrace’ and pledged even more resources to tackle the issue.
Homelessness figures across California have risen 13 percent in California during Newsom’s time as governor, with government statistics showing a 6.8 per cent increase between 2019 and 2020, and a further 6 percent increase between 2020 and 2022, according to the Public Policy and Institute of California.
‘This state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homelessness because housing costs are too high, our regulatory thickets are too problematic, localism has been too impactful – meaning people locally are pushing back against new housing starts and construction’ Newsom told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview in June.
However, he added that he had only been in office for four years and that was not sufficient time to ‘make up for the fact that in 2005 we had a historic number of homeless under a Republican administration.’
The governor said: ‘I I own this. I take responsibility for this’ when confronted with California’s shocking homelessness figures.
‘I have a $15.3 billion homeless plan. When I got here, it was half a billion dollars. The state of California was not involved in the homeless issue. We got involved.
He added: ‘We’re holding cities and counties accountable. I’m suing cities that are not producing housing. We actually have a 15-year high in new housing starts in the state of California. We’re actually seeing programs produce real results, but I want accountability.’
Newsom acknowledged that businesses were leaving and the state’s cities were plagued with safety issues but insisted: ‘I love this state. I don’t like what’s happening with encampments, I don’t like what’s happening to streets and sidewalks.’

Yes Governor, you DO own this!
Can you imagine the scene after Russia nukes Jew USA
mountain survivalists will survive
Anyone here remember the film Escape from LA ?
I do and I can tell you what I knew at the time too, it ain’t Fiction.
There is no such thing in the diseased mind of the Jew.
Gavin for President Yay!(Not)
“I love this state.” quips Gavin Newsom. He won’t add that his associations with multi-millionaires, marriage connections et al, have made him a multi-millionaire. Or that the cadaver, Nancy Pelosi really likes Gavin. More than she likes the ice cream in her multi-thousand dollar refrigerator. Or that she likes Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden and his genocidal war upon Israel’s enemies, of them, over 30,000 murdered Palestinians, nor does the Cadaver and/or Gavin, slick hair-do Newsom object to the invasion of illegals.
Thus, three examples of leaders of this country and the state of California. Behold where they have led America.
Welcome to jew S of A. Newsome (slimy kike) and his so-called liberal gentile followers have ensured LAs distinctive/destructive culture.
I didn’t read the article because pictures are worth a thousand words. We can also include other shit hole cities across the country:
Gorilladelphia
Bootlipmore
Chimpcongo
jew York Shitty
To name a few.
Rather fitting that some of the degenerate slobs shown were wearing trash bags since they are garbage. It’s refreshing to see such self-awareness. Some were forced into such wretchedness though, and the plan is to force a whole lot more into such a degraded state.
Coming soon to a town near you! And YOUR town. Compliments of Shlomo and the parasitic systems of banking and slavery, er I mean taxation, and the agents of degradation and destruction, which are, cohencidentally enough, also led by Shlomo and the satanic tribe of homicidal maniacs. But look, you dumbf*ck slaves, er citizens, the “government” simply must keep pouring money into Jewkraine and Israhell, for the sake of demonocracy, er democracy, don’t you know. If you think keeping hordes of degenerate invaders from the borders of your cuntry is more important than the borders of an eternally criminally corrupt Jewkraine and the terrorist enclave of Satan Central, i.e. Israhell, then your priorities are obviously all f*cked up. And look, any cuntry that doesn’t throw hundreds of billions of dollars into the bottomless pit of the criminal military-security-industrial complex is just begging for a beating from, say, Bangladesh.
The federal cartel in Washingstein District of Criminals, led by the nose by the “Federal Reserve” front of the international “banking” cabal must be obliterated, and any federal government reestablished minimized in size and scope and held strictly within valid constitutional limits…and everyone involved in the massive crime of central banking chased through the streets and slaughtered.
You know the situation is serious when Women contribute significantly to the homeless.
As a decades long observer of the Ethno-sexual makeup of the Homeless in the UK, I can assure you that for decades the ‘norm’ for almost the entire homeless population has been white, native-English speaking males.
That’s The Mail for you – such is the Leftist domination of The Culture, that Leftist Dogmas are only ever challenged effectively from the Left.
It’s all about The Women!
As with this feminist billionaire J K Rowling talking ‘as a woman’ against the tranny-faction – it is a Civil War between rival factions of the victorious Left, in time-honoured fashion – cf. The French and the Russian Revolutions whereby – after annhialating the bourgeois and the Aristocracy, they turn on each other – because that is how that toxic mindset operates –
Makeshift but permanent ghettos, like in Mexico and India.
Raping women leads to pregnancies. Where are the pregnant women in the pics? What happens to the children these women give birth to? Big questions, applicable also to all the female illegals who have trekked into the US.
I’ve never been to LA. The closest thing to Downtown La I’ve been to is in the game Bloodlines. Which after 20 years must be a much more pleasant experience than this above.
‘cohencidentally enough’ etc –
Anybody who knows about good writing knows that Umbra Bellator – whoever he is – is an excellent writer in the language – this has nothing to do with the tone or subject matter etc – this is a blummen good Writer as a Writer.
Genuinely funny, too – to be admitted EVEN if you are the target of his opprobrium –
Les Viz is, of course, effortlessly brilliant at the wordies, but Umbra deserves a bit of appreciation 😉
Newsom has to go back to 2005 to Blame Someone Else, and will solve it, as always, with More Money, not human energy and compassion. “Don’t worry, a new deal with Mammon will take away our woes”
You can’t afford billionaires, endless wars and everybody housed. You can afford two out of three.
They are all members of The Detritus Group: out of work Ph.Ds!
@ Guy Reid-Brown Thank you, good sir, for such high praise! I don’t think I deserve it as I feel there are far better writers on here than I, you included, but thank you! And I have been a fan of Les Visible for many years and I agree with your assessment of his gift he graciously shares with us.
SpeakUp on April 2, 2024 at 7:32 pm
Precisely, Mr. SpeakUp
‘In just three years female homelessness in LA has increased 55 percent according to the organisation.
Over 90 percent of those women have experienced physical or sexual assault.’
Always the statistics – always the precision or else lack of precision (why not 53 % or 57%,and 55% over WHAT number anyway, and what, anyway, is the male/female ratio of homelessness in L.A. ? And what does ‘over 90%’ mean and in what time period of THEIR lifetimes are we talking? Did these people ask every single female if she had been assaulted or not? Or just a sample and extrapolated it from that? Or, more likely, didn’t ask at all.
If they did carry out this survey, although they are a Soup Kitchen not MORI, did they also bother asking the males, who almost certainly on that level of existence have a 100% Victim-of-Assault Record?
This might sound petty because after all this is genuine human suffering’ but b*******s to that.
Genuine compassion is what you demonstrate in Private Life and the MSM, with the sort of persistent selective compassion they demonstrate in coverages of Wars etc (Ukrainian Kindergarten and 11year old girl damaged in Russian attack, but in the case of the Donbass, we have never been remotely concerned about 11000 civilians being whacked by Ukro-nazis) do more damage via their selective ‘compassion’ than Joe Bloggs does in his private life by ‘not caring’.
And nobody really lies awake at night worrying about the plight of people on the other side of the world.
First visited the cities of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco back in the mid to late 90’s. So I can honestly say from what I see in current terms. They are a shadow of the former cities they used to be, and I’m not just talking about the overall front facia.
Remembering the famous cult movies from the early 80’s (Escape from New York), and the mid 90’s (Escape from LA). Could’ve of actually contained elements of certain truths that the general public failed to notice or perceive at the time, but should re-view if they want to understand the way many aspects of those movies are surprsingly beginning to unfold before our eyes. Yet fast forward several decades further and you will notice that general public in North America (also in Europe/AUS/NZ) are in now in very similar situations.
Another good John Carpenter movie from the late 80’s. Is the quite often dismissed but pretty informative ‘THEY LIVE!’. Which tells the story of a suddenly informed loner’s crusade against the elites and their carefully constructed form of utopian society.
Which is what many people in Western Society could be living in if we’re not careful…..
Every word meant, Mr. Bellator!
