Liberals were in for a surprise when legal Asian immigrant families fought back at their efforts to dump the homeless of Orange County into their ICity of Irvine community, thinking that since they were Asians, they wouldn't complain.
Apparently, they complained mightily, as this story in the Los Angeles Times shows:
Many of the loudest voices in the movement to block the shelter plan were Chinese Americans who came together through social media apps and various community groups. They were joined by immigrants from South Korea, India, Mexico and the Middle East, along with some whites.
They rallied to protect their community from what they see as the ills of homeless camps, which many argued don't belong in their famously clean, safe, family-oriented planned community. Their protests helped persuade the Orange County Board of Supervisors to overturn the shelter proposal, leaving the county without a homeless plan at a time when the population is growing and officials are shutting down tent cities along the Santa Ana River.
The people they didn't want dumped into their community to mix it up with their school children and tiger moms were these:

According to MyNewsLA.com, the cleanup of this Santa Ana River camp has left 404 tons of garbage, 13,950 needles, and 5,279 pounds of human waste. You kind of wonder who had to count those needles and weigh all the vomit and excrement.
Sound like great neighbors for property values and schoolchildren safety.
Which of course is why they protested.
And it makes sense that they did. Demographically, they do have many growing young families in their numbers, with two-parent households, productive employment, and a community itself that is vibrant and growing.

I’ve worked quite a bit with trying to help homeless folks. Most of them WANT to be homeless. You have to sift through a lot of them to find someone you can actually help.
This has been going on since busing and related protests in 1968.
I saw it. I had a friend who bought with her new husband a tiny cute little brand new tract home in Palmdale. It was all they could afford. Many other young couples from all over SoCal came and boom, there was a sweet thriving lower middle class neighborhood going. BBQs, kids running across lawns to play together, new schools. It lasted for a handful of years, until LA County decided to given some of the homes to section 8.
All of a sudden, crack was everywhere, gangs, crime. People sold and got out fast. My friends were upside down,paying mortgage for a house that had halved in value and going down. Their neighbors got the same exact house for FREE. And treated it accordingly.
So one day my friends moved out and went back to live with the grandparents, leaving the keys in the lock. They just walked away. There was no other choice.
Today Palmdale is identical to Compton, but with a lot more rural places to hide the bodies.
California should pass a law that in the affluent areas, say where property values are over $1M, if you have two bedrooms more than are currently occupied by family members, you have to make one available to the homeless.
And if you live in a sanctuary city, the bedroom needs to be used by a family of 8. And you have to allow them to park their Escalades on your front lawn.
Methinks you are on to something, bringing middle-class Blacks and Asians over to our side.
Great idea! Celebrities should be more than happy to help.
Good for them... I guess the BS excuses of the 'homeless' who spend more money on illegal drugs than many people who live in China, India, Mexico and the Middle East live on - DOES NOT pull in much pity from this group. AND even better these new LEGAL immigrants don't have the 'white guilt' foolishness liberals have tossed at us for years.
That exact situation almost happened to me in Texas. I recognized the signs and got out early enough to break-even on the price. That was in the early 80's.
I've read that there is a congressional bill in the works that would give HUD the authority to approve/disprove mortgages based on race and income. The idea is to move Black people beside White people and the poor next door to the affluent....or, the mortgage is not approved.
God bless the roof top Koreans!
I've read that 70% voted for Obama, twice. I lost some Chinese friends over this.
So, yeah, where to save things might well be a strong Asian middle class. It might be beyond saving.
JMHO
What happened to bums and hobos
I love it, too. Second amendment AMERICANS defending their property from lawless thugs.
100%
I read where Larry Ellision owns 12 mansions in the LA area. Obviously he cannot be using them all at once...
I think you’ll see something of a change soon... The Asians might give the Republicans a look soon...
