As a pro painter of 17 years I am just impressed that guy rolled that whole wall with one dip of his roller 😂

I was homeless for ten years because of getting injured at work and the workers comp nightmare. I don’t drink or do drugs and I kept my “ camp” clean and free of trash. I kept all my stuff in a shopping cart that I took with me and took down my tent and packed it every morning. I never had any issues with the city, business or people working downtown. I closed my worker comp case because nobody would hire me and lost the healthcare that worker’s compensation provided. That said, I worked until I could get an apartment at temp jobs. Now I have been off the streets for four years and just had my three year anniversary at work. The key is to stay neat and clean and pack your belongings. Don’t panhandle and don’t steal and people won’t complain.

The most environmentally conscious state has its own landfill on the beach.

This man painting left me in tears. He works two jobs to help others. He loves to work, loves his job making his home nice. What an inspiration.

Wow the guy painting the walls should be a part of the channel you should check in on him from time to time what a gentleman.

That homeless man with two jobs is a saint! What a wonderful soul he has! Thank you for another informative video, Mike.

what a contrast in that video. The man who was painting was talking about giving back and working, choosing to remain homeless to help his fellow man while the guy in the mic was making demands for housing, claiming the beach was a home for them. One was giving the other taking. The painter was inspirational, the guy in the mic, not so much.

It's one thing to be an unfortunate person down on their luck; it's something else to be an inconsiderate person who doesn't care about his/her or the health of others. Let's not get them confused

GiV... I'm 50. Mom is 83. She used to take us to Venice when I was a little guy back in the 70s in the 80s.
I show her your Venice videos mostly. She really enjoys them. Cuz you remind her of good things.
She says you are the salt of the earth. And keep up the good work.
By the way really enjoyed the Conrad interview. Stay burning bright my friend. To us your videos are a great comfort in a very traumatic time. Thank you again from my family to yours.

I'm so happy to see Venice Beach coming back!! The beach is for everyone to enjoy again!

[ChadHoffmanwickalan]

Conrad who works two jobs and is homeless...somebody find this man a spot. If anyone deserves a discount on rent for a room or an apartment its this dude. Breaks my heart to see a hardworking good man like that on the street.

[mrsseasea]

Bless this man, trying to change the place he lives.

"people have the right to refuse being taken from their home to a tiny shed" That irritates me so much, they prefer to keep turning public places into trash. Those homeless advocates are the worst everybody can see that!! We need more strict laws to prevent this mess!!!

The anti-graffiti man I do wish him all the best.
