Glad the climate in north Texas is downright miserable three to five months of the year.

Doubtful.

"LA plans on spending 1.8 BILLION... on housing for the homeless."

If you build it they will come.

We traveled to the Oregon coast a couple weeks ago and passed through Salem on the way. Many homeless tents in at least 3 locations that we passed. Kinda sickening.

There are cities that have rejected free federal money because they don't want to use it to build more housing ... especially section eight housing. The feds are trying to sue these cities to force them to take the money.

I don't see any solution for years or decades to come.

Yet it is a liberal pipe-dream to force everyone to live in cramped, filthy mega-cities. It looks like reality has other plans.

BTW, I would not describe federal money as "free." That money comes from exactly the same place that state money comes from--the taxpayers. There is no free money.

“Panhandlers too. I mean, they are everywhere now. It’s like a zombie apocalypse. But since Obama’s president, the media has been reluctant to talk about it. After all, this is only supposed to happen when a Republican is president.”

The homeless/panhandlers are on every street corner of the downtown in my medium-size, “progressive” college town. The police can’t/won’t do anything unless someone reports “aggressive” panhandling, by which time a potentially dangerous confrontation has already occurred. It’s only a matter of time before a deadly altercation occurs.
