It's embarrassing how this homeless man puts more effort than the city
@Rob Roy well said
Because cleaning the city and helping ppl cost 100s of MILLIONS and placing decaying teddy bears and big broken Hot Wheels in trees doesn’t cost shit but the time of a retired tweaker if ya like it so much go do it it don’t costs shit all ya need is a good hit of the rock and the whereabouts of a GoodWill dumpster
@@jessielastern3064 the world is over populated as is we don't need more company cars as we know not many people are not buying instead put it on shelter mini homes like Oakland did

I lived a few blocks down, I saw him building it from the beginning. He’s no longer there. I wonder where he went. Especially with the rains 😔
They should hire this guy for landscaping, seems like a hard worker.
There's no landscaping here! Just junk.
Let him landscape your home
Lady in Red that’s stupid. He used what was available in his environment, given the right funds and resources he could be a magnificent landscaper. Looks at the rocks walls he built!!

He cleans, keeps to himself? Can't hate.
They need more of him in studio city and hollywood. Someone needs to give this man a job landscaping actual mansions. He's doin pretty good with what he's got.
Yes you can. He's in the middle of the fucking street building a trash mountain. This is ridiculous. I
People like you are the problem . It's bad now, and it will get worse. Stop abetting this behavior.
Yeah that is the issue. I think if the homeless encampments just stayed clean most people wouldn't have as much of an issue with them as they do now.
@@paradiso4562 That's what happens when studio apartments run for 1400 bucks or more, you doing anything to bring down the cost of living? If not than don't complain.
This man took "just get a house" to another level
He has done a beautiful job cleaning the area. I hope he is able to get housing and bless his new neighbors soon.
darn reporters, don't care who they hurt as long as they get their story.
Seriously
Probably by now he’s either on an immigrant camp, or deported.
Who was hurt? I don't know where you live, but this is becoming the norm where I live
Damn well said. Leave him alone.
I'm even surprised they even showed that. It's all over California. The biggest encampment is in Sacromento. They camp up and down the Sacromento river. Just about ever city town has homeless/drug addicts most are just Drug addiction PROBLEM. The one's that lost there home on different circumstances are not homeless for long. They get right back on there feet with help. The other's just want to be left alone to do there DRUG'S! As long as the politicians are giving them money to buy drug's that's what they are going to do. It never was this bad in the 1970s 80s. Now they open up the boarder to let the phentenlyol and all the other drug's they can kill people with. It's going to get even worse when the druggies need that fix. Home invasion, robberies.
This is a shelter. Not a mansion. There’s a reason he’s so willing to accept housing
Fox news 🗞️ should offer him 🏠 housing now that they have exposed him on social media...... But, it was a "storyline" for their evening 🌆 NEWS ... they must have been really desperate 🤔
Thats an eye sore. He need housing and tear that bs down.
If anybody would like to support in anyway he has a GoFundMe. "Homeless Mini Mansion"
@@EverydayWithPlug El Vomito 🤮
@@arttez8068 the bs is the news station, good
This guy is making the place better without causing any troubles. The city better leave him alone.
People will pass by them and laugh at these people not knowing their capabilities and some of them are really talented and probably have way more brains than the person laughing at them. They deserve respect just like everyone else
No one deserves respect. It is earned.
It infuriates me that this reporter is making it seem like she supports him but in reality she’s dry snitchin on him. They must’ve had nothing of more importance to report that day.
Exactly!!
This punk rock is snitchin all day Facts
It’s Fox News so, yeah
Idk I watched a lot of tik toks of this guy
Hypocrisy in her face
This is the type of homeless man that deserves a home...he'll actually want to take care of it and be responsible with it
That’s not how things work
@@mephistopheles7545 look GUY, i’m not for it by any means, and i’m unsure if you live in a state that has way too many homeless, but they talk in my state as if thats the plan. 95% of the homeless want nothing to do with a home, nor would they take care of it and use it to move up in life. But this guy, he would make that asinine idea of giving them places to live look good. That’s all i meant. Of course thats “not how it works”
You need to get rid of your misconceptions and educate yourself. Many homeless people want homes and deserve homes. Most homeless people don’t become homeless from their own fault or nefarious reasons but from years of struggling. It’s perceptions like yours that leak into politics and make it harder for these people to move forward with their lives.
@@GabrielTheMagolorMain was this for KC or Mephisto? Cause where I'm from as well, homeless don't want any housing. They don't. Because they rather do drugs than than do good. One requirement for housing is being clean and many don't want too. This guy here wants a home. Why hasn't he asked? I do not know. Move forward? These mf's rather be hitting innocent people, pouring shit on people, and all these other crazy shit. No 2 homeless are alike, and this guy here is one of the decent ones.
Every homeless person deserves a home.
Thank you for reaching out to all the authorities to do a news piece on him so then they can go tear down his life.
In our current culture of Zombie Worship, drawing attention to this nut more likely will garner him a million dollar gofund for being born
I just passed by this area and he isn't there anymore
Oh no. 😔
I can’t believe they just exposed this poor man like that and the news lady laughs and giggles at his situation.🤦🏽♀️
Yeah you can tell with her little judgmental laugh that she's always had the Silver Spoon up her butt and never had to go without anything or suffer one single hard time
She literally said he would make his new home just as beautiful pause or creative whatever it is you want to call this. Savage👌😈

@@carlosanthonypadilla better than some encampments that has trash all over.
@@carlosanthonypadilla I feel like you have not seen to been to the average homeless encampment. Hell I've seen yards at people's houses that are way worse than this. When the local businesses go "Nah we don't mind it" then I don't really see that much of an issue with it.
Hmmmm... looks like trash to me. Albeit, creatively placed :) sure he will accept housing, if it's free lol
When I was growing up in southern california there were a few homeless people in the town who were like landmarks just living as part of the town. They never asked anyone for money, never bothered anybody, and basically just had a particular corner somewhere in the town where they slept. I think this is how it used to be most places before things got so out of control in california
The only problem with homeless is how dirty they are. But obviously this guy is respectful and responsible. He earned his spot.
Leave him alone, I'm sure there's more stories you can do. People are going to bother him now.
You're right
@Lokey Warrior ...You should help him apply then.
@Lokey Warrior , Well aren’t you one of the “entitled “?!? Selfish.

My Heart goes out to this homie. Goes to show, even during adversity and harsh times we can still be respectful and keep pride on what we do. Best of luck; hope this helps him and it's not just another headline.

What makes you think he’s an alcoholic? Do you know the man? Get off your high horse and try to understand other people’s point of view in life. We’re all not born with a silver plater at birth.
His life their entertainment... she pretty much laughed the whole segment. If this is all he have, he's making the best out of it... offer him employment not exposure.
I mean, if you're a landscaper, you want people to see your work/art. He could have been pretty happy with the exposure. Maybe this exposure will land him a landscaping job? Just trying to see the light of things.
This is the news life yo exploit others for views
Their laughing his living

He’s doing exactly what they do in TJ. Nice job
I could see him going on to manage a nice mobile home community with bright colors and tropical plants. Someone else commented he is no longer there. I hope he found a good place.

@@CarolynPina-xe3qn Good Afternoon!! I AGREE!!
The first step to helping to homeless is to get them to feel pride. This man is clearly a proud man, who's actively working to make his situation better, he's improving the world around him (arguably) and he's not hurting anyone.
He has a home. It might not be on private land, but I can't think of any better use for wasted public space.
RARE
He’s a real one
@Citizens Arrest so you're against allowing the public using public property. Well you have a strong argument. But I'm going to go ahead and point out that you're wrong.
@Citizens Arrest what would we do without brownshirts? You are doing God's work son. Make sure they are strangled so tightly with irrational rules they can't breath. You are superior. It's your right to oppress the world
He’s not lazy just homeless. Hell some homeless people are under-employed.
How do you know if he's lazy or not? You have no freakin clue
@@andrewokamoto ummm bc he cleaned up all the trash, and literally created an entire garden which took time. Plus did you not hear the restaurant owner say he comes and cleans there?
Did she say that he was lazy ? I would agree with you that 1/3 of the population that is homeless is probably because they are underemployed and the cost of living is too high. This creates a "Circle of Poverty" which may force the individual to work multiple jobs or have to relocate. Also, I am going to assume that the other 2/3 's that are homeless may have a SUD/or a mental health issue. Anyway, one can only hope that this man and the others in the area will be offered housing shortly.
He's not even close to lazy he created a little shelter with an architectural design. He's living the life..
Dudes probably illegal
A work of art. Passive reaction to an endless problem.
That's it ! I'm moving, no rent ,no utilities and earplugs are cheap
I pray they leave this man alone. He’s completely harmless, Bless him 🙏🏽

The way things are going.. he will be kicked out for sure. They should have never broadcast the location. It's matter of time before he gets evicted.
A compassionate government that’s for the people would recognize this man’s brilliance and hire him to landscape and keep up the area. They could even create a partnership with a local architectural college where the students could collaborate with the man to assist him in constructing a more stable sustainable and safe house. They would give him additional paint and materials to do his recycled art. He would become an attraction that people seek out to admire
I like it ❤long as he is safe . Looks good no trash makes for a original city scape. He helps the business next door a plus. Leave him bee to build on. It seems like moving art. 😊❤❤❤
Homeless not hopeless this man deserves to be left alone Maybe someone can get him a little home to live in where he is safe and left to do what he loves build and garden. Prayers sent
Yeah left alone in the bus back to Mexico
Left alone no way no way in hell I pay property tax I pay city tax I pay all sorts of taxes so this guy gets to build something and he's living out there in it and he doesn't have to pay shit no I'm sorry well actually I'm not sorry because this is all bullshit
He’s been in this location 2 years and another one for he lost count … maybe he can work as a gardener (since he likes it ) and pull his own weight rather than treating America like it’s TJ come on it’s garbage on a hillside it looks tacky you want that in your city uh no way. He couldn’t have saved money from never paying rent lol could you imagine not paying rent or a mortgage? Rather than him going to resources he says if he is offered housing he will take it … yea duhhh .. and you Jackie want someone to get him a little home . Geez 🙄 Jackie be that someone
nobody "deserves" to be given that kind of space like that. also what about the hundreds of thousands of other homeless people in the country? do they equally "deserve" that spot?
@@tohopes So true.
SMH reporting to get him evicted … why doesn’t this news channel help him out… show how you are connected to the community.
How the hell can you get evicted from a homeless encampment?!
At least he made it look really nice And seems respectful. I wouldn’t complain either if he helped me out by cleaning around the restaurants etc.
this is weird how reporters are reporting this and calling it a mini mansion?
He's just a man trying to make the best of his situation. He isnt doing anything to anyone and he is respectful and helpful. He takes pride in his work and already has it hard, don't make it harder because you don't understand. I've been out in those streets, cold/rain/heat... It sucks. But you gotta see the positive and at the end of the day do what makes you happy
Same. Unfortunately, there are too many homeless who make it harder on the few who try by leaving trash and human waste laying around, getting high and drunk and starting fights, stealing, vandalizing, etc.
@@jeffreybarczak6251 yep
And its all for free although it is. on state/city property. We should all do this so we can receive the benefits of living for free. No, wait, we are not qualified, we work for a living.
💯💯💯
His time would be much better spent looking for employment!
The news anchor talking about “all the services Available” that’s laughable and anyone who has ever needed assistance knows these programs make it next to impossible to get any type of real help when you truly need it.
Agreed. What "services"? Just a run around is all! Those are services all right! Services to keep government "workers" employed! But few else.
The dude came here from Mexico and he wants free housing from the government? Why do we owe him that?
There's a little help to not die, but not to get on your feet. The real help takes months and months to find out whether you're accepted or not and is usually more for women with kids.

That state is swallowed up by greed and envy to no end. Any goodwill done by folks with heart will always get aimed at no matter what. Crooked people hate seeing uprise in positivity and prosperity if it excludes them. Spiteful political devil's.... they have no shame 😒
I think all the ppl in here that think this is wonderful should offer their front and backyards to homeless ppl. That way they'd have access to your toilets and whatever else they could use.
The media ratting him out. Unbelievable
I really wish they wouldn't have done that to him. He's lived there peacefully, kept the place clean and not bothered anyone.
Of course if this guy actually tried to build something like this for real, it would go against all kinds of zoning rules and spurn all kinds of opposition. Something is seriously wrong when it's easier to build something (without permission) on government property you don't own, than to get permission to build something on your own property.
You said it perfectly.
Yeah meanwhile I have to take out a 400k loan for 1700 sq ft single family home and can’t add a sink to my garage without planning department forcing me to make it conform to code of a “duplex”.
I gotta agree. Zoning laws have to be pacified some, especially for peaple paying an arm and a leg. In. Property Taxes. Which is just about everyone
Could you imagine. If instead of coming with a bad attitude and a bundle of fines, except maybe in an extreme case of major safety issues. If we were able to build. A multi dome home, a giant Habitrail. A nice and functional tree house, or a Bio sphere looking house. Your imagination would be the limit.....with very little limitations, properly Strapped or Anchored down, boy we'd really see some good Home Grown American ingenuity
@@hfarthingt Why even ask the planning department how the heck are they going to know if you ever think to your garage that’s crazy you just add it anyway no one’s coming out to look at your sink in your garage I highly doubt they give a damn you’re the one who went and told them so now they’re going to complain about it because they probably want money no doubt I’m sure they’re gonna come for this guy start asking for taxes or some thing to
Give this man a landscaping job. Dude gots talent.
No interest rate love it . mansion priceless I want one. I Salut to him
This poor guy, they really should have thought this through now, he's going to be removed, that is so incredibly sad, more than likely the police already knew about this and obviously wasn't gonna say anything, but now he's going to end up being removed y'all should have kept this quiet SMH..
Oh no, now he can't do something that he's not allowed to do! It's just so unfair!🙄
@@EsotericOccultist Don't be ridiculous, of course, he should have his own place, but these people have known about it for a very long time, and they're good with it, and obviously the police know about it, but now he's not going to be allowed to stay there anymore. This is somebody who probably has something going on mentally after all, look what he's done to that area, nobody would really do this unless something was going on with them mentally. These people accepted it, so I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as they're OK with it how you feel about it, and let me say, this one more time for you to understand it, how you feel about it, doesn't matter you don't live in the area, it has nothing to do with me or you, these people accepted it, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean anything, they love him being there. Obviously there's something wrong with him, but he's dealing with it in a remarkable and artistic way...
@Toothless Bull Dog 2.0 Thank you, love, we should all be a lot more kinder in this world, more than likely he does have something going on mentally, but he has dealt with it in his way, and I love that he is very artistic and he seems happy. The other guys on here is like he should get his own place and things like that, but when someone has something wrong with them mentally and I'm not sure if he's military or not, but they choose to do these things like this instead and I don't have a issue with it if it's not harming anybody, some people just want to hate on others, because they're not conforming to normal ways of life. I just don't have a problem with what this guy is doing, and thank you for understanding this, I appreciate it, you have a wonderful night, sweetie.
You heard what that politician's reply was. She thinks his place reflects badly on her leadership. Now she is going to make a big to do about everything! Que lastima!
@@rhondamcdaniel525 Exactly that is so wrong, I get that, they want it to look like the way it's supposed to, but everybody knew it was going on, I just feel bad for this guy, you know, it's not like that now, he had to leave, he's very artistic, I just hope wherever he goes, he'll be happy, these people should have realized that she was going to get rid of it, I just feel bad for the guy..
I feel like that guy came out to defend him because he didn’t want hem slandering him
Just the thought of the city making him tear this place down makes me cry, hope it’s still there today but I sadly don’t think it is because that intersection looks familiar and I’ve recently been around there and never noticed that building.
No no no! Who's paying for this overpass? My taxes! Does he even pay taxes? NO NO NO !
Leave the man be... he’s clearly not bothering anyone!
Brings down property values of homes nearby plus looks filthy and disgusting
@Koa stfu
anonymous “Legal” as in man made “laws”, that is a whole other discussion. My stance is based on Universal Laws. I’m hoping no one would be at fault in that hypothetical situation. The driver would be responsible for the repairs to the vehicle and the guy whose dwelling that is would have to repair it. It would give him something to work on since it obviously brings him much joy to do so. 💜🙌🏽💯
anonymous “you cannot take land that is not yours” lol I agree and this ENTIRE country belongs to Native Americans. “Liberal” umm NO... High Priestess... YES! I appreciate your feedback, however it is best that we shall agree to disagree. Have a blessed day! 🧿💜💯
Wtf, the media is playing the part all nice n shit but calls all authorities that will tear dudes Casita down... Let the man be if he wants. Stop bringing attention to the homies crib.
I believe thats dry snitching cant trust tge media anymore !
@@ScottyJones67 100% my friend. These are the same characters that will call somebody else someone who hates somebody. We know damn well what happened. Some executives were rolling around the valley, probably ta fuck on the dL and get some tacos. Seen this spot and was like Oh my gosh....look...then low key rat the dude out.
@@jimmyhunt9081 yes thats exactly what happen , and its only going to get worst as this So called President we have is putting out there to snitch on so called raticalized americans !! Smdh !!
Yeah OK !!!! Take him home with you then.........
@@6you6tube61 How does your comment make sense
That's dope. Amazing. Leave him alone. He isn't bothering no one
❤❤❤❤❤I HOPE ALL HOMELESS CAN BE VERY CREATIVE LIKE HIM!!👍👍👍👍
At least he's clean and doesn't bother the man unless he is being offered a permit home free of charge.
