Pretty well you know a pretty good life right. Now when they. When they do it. Like dream of. Elvis is worried by the state but this communal camp and he leaves to buy raven a tent until he can build her a new tiny house so im going to have a tent and be back to you guys in a little while. A lone president opens up about his situation. Its been a strong. Campaign and. The city always kicks us out from the state its us to clean those. Who want to costly move their stuff every day.

Andy fails runs a pig the merchants the shelter in the middle of skid row which id like to hes seen the numbers of women seeking help in a true home in just a year but you me cant daedra face to meet you unless youve got pretty eyes. And hes on crutches because last year he lost a leg to the flesh eating bacteria that exists here still every day hes out inviting new arrivals to his shelter because he knows just how bad it gets more than two thousand people on the streets forty nine square blocks of skid row its the worst that weve ever seen. Just a good idea you really need to look down that street theres not one open spot or summat sidewalk for half a mile down that way. Elvis is tiny houses designed as an option to avoid sleeping on skid row. Because he is the increasing numbers of women and children a sleeping alongside drugs crime and the mentally ill. And police are the only source of protection such a pretty constant ending yes day and night. By. The maintaining order here can be struck running with handcuffs. Commanders running with handcuffs through this yes. Ill spend one night every once in a while and streets and i cant sleep because its so dangerous and. Just stay alert rats are running around running over people running in their trance and often people get beaten or assaulted or raped and that in effect can damage your health pretty quickly.

The city has approved a multibillion dollar strategy to help homeless but it will take ten years to build thousand new units which is well below to. Get officials refuse to embrace elviss tiny for me a tiny house on a parking space is not a solution were are doing that this service to those individuals who stayed in these tiny homes without the out of it if a structure in place city council. Opposed to tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. Someone monitoring the site otherwise itll be a free for all itll be sex drugs and rocknroll and.

If they are here why put these guys in the back with elvis and the city is clear intense yet again this time at raven and christines camp right now that load opened up there was a show. Thats considered a faulty item so its going to go through. Almost tough and christines belongings are taken by the department of sanitation that ravens not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know hit well i mean do you hit rock bottom.

With ravens camp demolished most of her positions gone and with the baby on the way elvis must deliver her tiny house before nightfall to close with him. I finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial its not going to affect anybody. Elvis and raven hope this part of downtown l. A. Away from skid row will be safe from the authorities. With already hes must continue to keep l. A. Streets clean days finally. For the time he has delivery feeling very good spite im. Going to drop out of this i am going through a lot of hardship thats not this tiny house its a person asked.
