  1. The Chinese ran out of money?! 😂😂😂😂

  2. Adults coming to LA to practice their ABCs from all over America.

  3. I'm pretty sure TRUMP was just saying the same thing about the NATO countries not paying their share. Mayor of LA says they gonna bill China if they have to fix problems, and she gets standing ovation.
    Dumocrats good TRUMP bad. I don't call them Dumocrats for nothing.

  4. Very interesting how white supremacists are allowed to do anything they want. Charge the immigrants or your own people, because black people would be shot or killed by police so we don't care

  5. too bad the owners are in China..

  6. Officers surround the building? What a joke….

  7. “And I guarantee you a tragedy will take place…” lady in case you haven’t noticed but the real tragedy has already occurred under your governor’s lack of leadership!!

  8. This is perfect, Los Angeles is a definitely a circus.

  9. Dozens of cops assigned tp protect an abandoned chinese owned skyscraper from skydivers. Meanwhile the rest of the city is in chaos with robberies and violent crimes taking place all over. Let that sink in 🤔

  10. That building was only purchased to use it to launder money. The owners never had any intention of finishing it.

  11. Only tragedy here is these building being left abandon during a homeless crisis

  12. they still going to get in dummies

  13. These guys should be in an Elite Military unit . come on L.A. , write a Script . this could go in so many directions .

  14. Stop letting the Chinese buy relestate in the US.

  15. Waited til 2024 to bring this up when construction stopped in 2019… The fact that it's next to Staples Center and taxpayers will end up with the bill is even funnier 😂

  16. With a nice big building, like that open and unused, why not let migrants and homeless hunker down in there⁉️😳🤔😮😆

  17. Eminent Domain these properties. Finish the work. Rent them out. Hire a private company or companies to manage the property and do maintenance. The City of Los Angeles could make a pile of money.

  18. A tragedy might take place? A tragedy has already taken place, look at condition of Los Angeles. Look at the homelessness and the drug use. Los Angeles is just a shell of what it used to be. These politicians are STUPID

  19. Open a new adventure park. The place seems ideal.

  20. Don't worry about the tons of BaseHeads on the sidewalks, it's the hand full of Base Jumpers we gotta worry about….

  21. They been BASE jumping off skyscrapers for years now. Nothing new in LA

  22. I guess Point Break is making a comeback.

  23. So they ran out of money in 2019…and 2020 happen …

  24. Don’t want to see a tragedy take place? Mayor Bass, just have a look around the downtown area.

  25. Of course Karan Bass doesn't anything else is out of place. Things like the streets of LA being comparable to third world countries and medieval times with the bubonic plague. The streets are also littered with trash, heroin needles and human waste. But she wants to blame someones suicidal behavior on a buildings owner and not the person themselves ?

  26. Terminen los departamentos y renten o vendan o rentenlos como hospedaje para turistas. La propiedad es buena, no se puede tirar dinero a la basura, pueden pagar los gastos de la gente que ahora no tiene suficiente dinero para pagar la renta de el lugar donde vive, pueden dar mantenimiento y pagar todo lo que las escuelas públicas rurales o que se encuentran en comunidades lejanas necesitan. No permitan que se fomente este tipo de situaciones porque son mala imagen para Los Angeles.

  27. This is why Chinese speculators should be banned in the US.

  28. What’s LA going to do with them running out of China? That’s no threat, China won’t do anything to them.

  29. No one is going to spend a billion plus dollars for a Broken down building that will not provide that type of revenue. That place has been closed for awhile and will be closed for years to come until the city destroys it.

  30. Why is the mayor so upset about this? People literally pooping in the streets around it, overdosing daily. Priorities.

  31. Maybe clean up the streets before demonizing artists.

  32. The women saying WHAT. Thats how she reacts to something peaceful. When somome shoots in the area theres no reaction.

  33. Issue massive tickets for trespass. Building managers take note. This is all about lazy building managers.

  34. Yall have tragedy all over the city put the homeless in it

  35. Love how the solution is to punish the owner for people breaking the law on his property and my fellow brothers will say "It's his property" when he is also a victim of crimes.
    BTW, the dude surrounded the building with a fence and they cut his fence, what should he do?

  36. What about the wasted funds for dozens of cops just sitting around an empty building! 🤔

  37. Keep China out of our real estate

  38. Why is it an issue if someone falls to their death there when they’re the ones that wanted to jump?

  39. Gotham City inspired by China 🇨🇳
    Consequences of Open Borders

  40. Why is it “he” I thought they’re all about pronouns

  41. There are zombies walking the streets, this is nothing. It was voted to defund the police right? Newsom utopia.
