Tyler is becoming one of the best investigative journalists out there. So stoked to go on these adventures with him.

Glad to see the cops not only so nice and friendly, but very knowledgeable and empathetic on the situation in front of them.

Two months ago I was homeless with my 3 kids living in my car in Phoenix. I never held a sign or begged for money but there were people who seen me struggling and went out of there way to help me. So so grateful for every single person who helped. Shout out to Officer Jennifer and the walmart forklift driver who rallied together and got me a hotel room for 2 nights and walmart gift card.

The fact that the brother is homeless and pursuing his nursing degree is everything. Please do a follow up on him

I live in Arizona, residents in my area are told to spend no more than 30 minutes outside during the day

This video convinced me that no matter how down bad my life gets, I will never touch ANY illegal substances or drugs. My heart goes out to all the innocent people who just fell down the wrong road in life.

He’s risking his life to educate us. I respect that.

[amarisbaldwin]

I live in Phoenix and i hate how people say that your journalism is hurting others. I dare them to come here and say that area is safe.

The ending of this video made me cry. Seeing that woman deny help a million times and the workers not giving up on her gave me hope for humanity. Those compassionate words "we all make mistakes" and "i wanna make sure youre ok" are words we need to share more, but not only through social media but also in person.

[hellodoink]

huge props to that man who not only just got an associates in science and nursing but is still pursuing a higher degree afterwards all while being homeless. truly amazing.

[PeteFlags]

That poor man who was set on fire. No one deserves this horrible death. 🙏 My admiration for the two gents helping and listening ♥️

[kindlethekitsune]

I love your reports on homelessness. It's so nice and refreshing. You get to really see what these people struggle with, whether they're there by choice or not.

As someone who was homeless in their early 20's (I am now almost 40 and a middle class homeowner), all I can say is thank you for doing these videos on homelessness. People don't properly understand the problem. I didn't have a drug or mental health problem, I just lost family support, my car got stolen, then I lost all my identification which prevented me from getting a job, and it spiraled from there. Soon enough I found myself sleeping in a handicap bathroom at a public park in Franklin, TN. There is a stigma that all homeless people are crazy or on drugs... and though there's obviously a lot of truth to it, the misconception is that the mental illness or drugs are the cause of them being homeless. Many times the origin is more due to chance or intolerance like gay teens being abandoned by their religious parents, or a woman trying to flee from an abusive partner, or for a specific example in NY I met a divorced homebuilder who wound up financially upside down after the 2008 crash and wound up homeless, or a brilliant computer programer who struggled to maintain a job because of social quirks due to being fairly deep on the spectrum. The trauma of becoming and maintaining homelessness can be crippling mentally and can lead to permanent mental illness over time. It took me a better part of a decade to get over my trauma from it. Similarly the substance abuse sometimes comes after becoming homeless simply to try and cope with the trauma. I have lived in Scottsdale for over a decade and the homeless population has exploded. Mainly since Covid. Before we got too busy being parents, my wife and I used to drop off food and supplies to whoever was sleeping on the bus stop near our house. This video inspired me to start doing that again.

kevin being in almost every video just shows how much of an amazing guy he is, i wish him and tyler the best going forward

[vgemi]

The two cops at the end were really great at understanding the issues these people encounter and explaining the situation, it's great to see it !

[ezrabell]

good shit. i admire your bravery and your willingness to hear whomever chooses to speak. well done.

[jgrowland]

My heart goes out to the gentleman who just got his associates in nursing. I lived in my car for over a year doing prerequisites for the nursing program. I'm in my second semester of nursing school now and got an apartment. That year in my car was horrible.

[drgenki]

One thing I love about those videos is that, no matter how hard subject is, Tyler ends videos on positive notes by showing people/organizations that provide help and solution to the problems, meaning that there is still some kind of hope for humanity. I'm so glad that I subscribed

[EavenStarchilde]

I love how you made Kevin a part of your crew. It's a super wise decision.
