  3. @Rustyshackleferdish on January 20, 2024 at 10:02 am

    Fuck this



  4. @kick1574 on January 20, 2024 at 10:03 am

    It’s kind of fucked up. I guarantee the city will end up kicking him out and putting some sort of fines on him. I live close by and I’ve seen a lot of homeless beautify, the city more than the city will do for self, and I guarantee they will impose some sort of fines against him which is bullshit



  5. @crazygangbanger on January 20, 2024 at 10:04 am

    brother just captured the hill



  6. @meltinginmissoula7044 on January 20, 2024 at 10:06 am

    God bless him. Lord knows Biden is letting tons of migrants in and putting them in four star hotels.



  9. @Danaman117 on January 20, 2024 at 10:11 am

    Looks like a dump to me, I wonder if the 💩 rolls downhill.



  10. @jaydenp4975 on January 20, 2024 at 10:11 am

  11. @kagors4491 on January 20, 2024 at 10:11 am

  12. @relaxwithme786 on January 20, 2024 at 10:13 am

    These news people will most likely get him kicked out now by the councils



  13. @bloodydeq1995 on January 20, 2024 at 10:15 am

    I bet some trolls called the police on him before and after this came out💀



  14. @JB-qt3wo on January 20, 2024 at 10:17 am

    Haha…yeah hilarious



  15. @madisoncooling8010 on January 20, 2024 at 10:18 am

    Love how he has a fence to keep things out that don’t belong …on property that he doesn’t own ….mmmmmm so ironic



  16. @serenafelix6794 on January 20, 2024 at 10:19 am

    So now we’re going to normalize this?
    Jose is talented but come one people. We cannot normalize this shxt



  17. @tristancarroll8552 on January 20, 2024 at 10:20 am

    That’s a humble man right there, despite the position that’s he’s in he’s making the best of it.



  18. @user-ix7cr5ie2c on January 20, 2024 at 10:22 am

    Looks 👀 like lil Tijuana? 😳



  19. @123Alvenia on January 20, 2024 at 10:23 am

    When the reporter bragged, he even has a children’s slide on top, my stomach sank.



  20. @darsonb.3745 on January 20, 2024 at 10:23 am

    🙏🙏



  21. @paulb217 on January 20, 2024 at 10:23 am

    It could be described as a more echo friendly way to live?😂



  22. @silbaez2101 on January 20, 2024 at 10:25 am

    So they called to town to talk to them about what? They just snitched on this man smh



  23. @lawrencehobson6848 on January 20, 2024 at 10:25 am

    "He never seeked housing??" Yeah the shelter systems that are worse than jail?? Where you sleep in a bunkbed with a schizophrenic maniac that smells like corn chips and vinegar?? And have to stay there for half a decade to even start the process to get into a permanent place?? Where people are constantly screaming, fighting, even stabbing each other??,Those shelters? I know why he hasn’t "taken advantage" of the shelter system.



  24. @MisatoBestWoman on January 20, 2024 at 10:27 am

    Legendary man



  25. @vemonist79 on January 20, 2024 at 10:29 am

    Great it’s starting to look like Juarez that’s real nice what a joke



  26. @user-vi5ko1dw6b on January 20, 2024 at 10:30 am

    Looks like shit



  27. @noelkinz on January 20, 2024 at 10:31 am

    I just hated when I am taking a dump and water splashes my asshole 😢



  28. @WeThePeopleMaricopa on January 20, 2024 at 10:32 am

    Little Pink Houses for you and me!



  29. @DanielMartinez-pn4pz on January 20, 2024 at 10:32 am

    Get him help to get a job and a real home please 😢



  30. @harrisonnavarra2441 on January 20, 2024 at 10:32 am

    King of the homeless



  31. @user-vc5xq2np8n on January 20, 2024 at 10:33 am

    He works harder than so called hood lazy folks 😂



  32. @erache6667 on January 20, 2024 at 10:34 am

    It does not matter how nice the homeless squatter is. Breaking the law is exactly that. No free passes for anybody. This property is an eyesore not a mansion. Get the bulldozer out CalTrans and clean this mess up. If the guy is here illegally deport his ass back to where he came from!



  33. @Fat_Cat_747 on January 20, 2024 at 10:35 am

    It should be pulled down immediately, just to be mean.



  34. @BenjaminBigger-cw5eu on January 20, 2024 at 10:41 am

    Congrats fox11 –
    excellent reporting.!!
    ☮️☮️☮️



  35. @user-lg4mc9qy2r on January 20, 2024 at 10:41 am

    God bless his heart



  36. @imcopper on January 20, 2024 at 10:42 am

    Leave him alone.. At least he is keeping it cleaner than downtown LA and the rest of city life in that state.



  37. @blackout_ghost on January 20, 2024 at 10:46 am

    Liberals are weird



  38. @surferbri5346 on January 20, 2024 at 10:46 am

    Keeps it real clean,
    How did it look before that dump took over



  39. @markmitchell457 on January 20, 2024 at 10:46 am

    FOX 11 just screwed this man.



  40. @josejr.8671 on January 20, 2024 at 10:50 am

    mansion ? rephrase this plz. more like a run down shack lol



  41. @salmarino3739 on January 20, 2024 at 10:50 am

    First off, Squatters are ok now? Secondly, the City has not done anything to solve the homelessness problem? This living condition is not acceptable for human beings to live, even animals have shelter ! SHAME On You All !



  42. @SpadesWinner on January 20, 2024 at 10:51 am

    Now if he was black……



  43. @imsleepingbeauty on January 20, 2024 at 10:51 am

    Help him find a job so he can earn a house.



  44. @silverfox__12 on January 20, 2024 at 10:53 am

    It’s embarrassing how this homeless man will work so hard to string out trash on a hill side, but won’t get a job



  45. @jenifermartin739 on January 20, 2024 at 10:54 am

    Mini mansion? What are y’all mocking him ?



  46. @chrissycat7883 on January 20, 2024 at 10:56 am

    No one has ever "*come*"… C’mon vocabulary skills.



  47. @davidrussell9992 on January 20, 2024 at 10:58 am

    Coming to an overpass near you



  48. @MAV44444 on January 20, 2024 at 10:58 am

    Why you don’t call him American?



  49. @edwardippoliti626 on January 20, 2024 at 10:58 am

    I remember living near there for a short time , nearly forty years ago ".



  50. @sknl4015 on January 20, 2024 at 10:59 am

    Mexicans don’t wait around for help, we step up, call us ignorants, whatever, waiting is stupid, we use n build with what we find, waiting is for loser’s, if you have one hand n not the other we use it, yes there’s lazy people within our culture, since 2000 to 2023 generation is different from the old ones, is hard to explain not just Mex people anyone dat has the will to do something will work hard all their life time, never give up n rise up.
