Jamie Yuccas is such a great interviewer! KCAL definitely needs to bring in more guests for her to interview. Very thoughtful and genuine conversation! ❤

I used to live in downtown Lb, got my car stolen, broken in so many time, parking was also bad, homeless people were all over side walks. I felt very unsafe, unclean, and disgusted by the city, couldn’t even walk with my 3 yrs old child to any stores. Long Beach become the most disgusting city, even at the beach. I had to moved to different city.

I lived in Long beach for 13 years and just moved to Florida. I wished i moved sooner. Long beach is like living in gotham city, filled with crime and homeless. The city does nothing, the police do not respond to calls. My car was constantly being broken into. One of the worst cities in America no exaggeration

Distance to the City of Long Beach you guys bringing millions of dollars from events that happens year-round it is time for your City to set up a large homeless shelter because it just doesn't look right for a city that brings in millions of dollars and have issues with homeless invest to Dollars where it needs to go social services is an important department of every city and county y'all should do the same as the city of Los Angeles does this is a city that protects LGBT people this should be a city that protects homeless people

Should have asked her how many long term housing opportunities they have for these 3, 000 people.
