I feel bad for the normal citizens that live here. Must be terrifying to go shopping knowing all of this is happening.

The guy throwing trash in the street says everything about his character. Ty for making a point to pick it up

As someone who works for the excess carrier insurance business, please let me educate these people that think, oh insurance will cover it”. Yes, insurance will cover it for a while, but the premiums continue to rise at an exponential rate, based on every claim that is received, and the dollar amount of that claim. Eventually it gets to a point where the cost of the premium outweigh the benefit of keeping that store open and thus the closing of the store. Some carriers won’t insure certain locations now either because it’s cost prohibitive since claims are guaranteed to occur. To think that the theft is not the cause of stores closing is absurd!

7:33 - "the city is more concerned about ideology than practicality" Perfect way of describing it

That ladies concern with stores closing due to theft wasn't that people lost their jobs but that now she has to go further away to steal. What a pitiful human.

The lack of empathy. “If I don’t see it then it doesn’t affect me”. The lack of empathy and compassion in this world now and days is just unbelievable to me

I’ve lived in the Bay my whole life and I was shaking my head throughout this whole video. The lack of remorse, empathy and responsibility I saw with the people in the video is eye opening.

This is some good reporting and love your charity work, love to all from Australia.

The lady in the blazer's response blew me away when you asked her how she felt about the employees of the companies leaving the city and losing their jobs. Her response was stating that she's inconvenienced that she'll have to travel further to steal more stuff. There couldn't have been a worse answer to that question and I think it sums up the mentality of most of these bippers. Absolutely no care for anyone else.

That professional thief you interviewed at 25:00 is truly the worst person in society. He's bragging about stealing money from hardworking people and says he doesn't even feel bad. He then gives the proceeds to other criminals in his neighborhood who probably don't have honest jobs and just prey on others for a living. Some of the thieves who don't care about stores closing (or that lady who felt bad that she couldn't steal from the closed store anymore) are truly awful. These aren't low-income people struggling with housing expenses or food - these are professional criminals who voulntarily chose a life of crime.

Im so glad the "new Americans" are so entrepreneurial! Stunning and brave!

If you can’t “survive” or make a living in one of the most expensive cities, why not just leave and move to an affordable state

“Their insurance will pay for it” such a smooth brain though. Insurances will pay up to a certain point, they are in it for the money, if they keep paying out they will drop the business as a client, that’s when stores close down and people loose their jobs and people without a vehicle loose access to basic necessities

They can shoot the next Batman movie here

Bro was just chillin in the space void mystery, doin some science with his empty stroller 😭🙏🏼 that shit was different bruh

This is very common pattern in humanity. If you stop arresting and prosecuting criminals they will increase the amount of crime they do. They need to think that they will be caught, and if caught the prosecution has to outweigh the percieved benefit of the crime payout. This is simple. Not complex. Don't let anyone make you think otherwise.

The lady in the blue sport coat wasn't doing this to "eat". The signs of her being an addict are very obvious.

That’s crazy, you asked Nikki how she felt about putting businesses out and people losing their full time jobs and being unable to provide for their family and her answer was “then I’d have to go further out of town to steal” She absolutely could not care about anyone or anything but herself and her rat dog. These people are beyond redemption. They’re sick.

18:13 that hurt deep in my soul XD thx for picking it up!
