We live in an age absent of reason.

People have no decision making skills any longer.

The mayor and the city council are stumped. They haven’t a clue what to do.

Let me guess, Leftists...

People who can reason can’t be a Leftist.

Force the homeless, 100 at a time, into a Thunderdome cage and only allow the sole survivor to exit, then fly them to Hawaii as a reward. Repeat as often as needed until the streets are cleared.

The socialists all over the country have let illegals have HUD housing, displacing citizens.

Ben Carson is working right now to fix that, evicting illegals.

Socialists seem to love having people who are not the elite living in ghettos. It was too nice I guess so they had to deliver the ghetto to you.

I would bet there are none of those problems where the elite live, especially where the elite socialist politicians live that make all of this happen.

I support him in that too.

Didn’t want him for president, but I’m glad he’s been used to do some good things.

I never had any doubt he was a good man. If he was misguided on some things, it would be an honest mistake.

A question: How is the money set aside for homelessness divvied up among the communities? If it is like other areas of California, the 800-lb gorilla gets most if not all the money. If that is the case, then why shouldn’t communities steer their homeless people to the gorilla?

There have always been poor and people who fall on hard times. What is different today is that the traditional safety nets of family and church are not functioning as they once did. Family dissolution means every generation is struggling, not just the younger ones who once could shack up with the folks or siblings until they got on their feet. Nowadays, the parents are managing multiples support payments and mortgages, botox and viagra expenditures. And in the past, people naturally belonged to churches where they assisted fellow parishioners when they could and felt confident they could rely on them if/when they needed it. But both families and faiths tended to want people who made poor choices in their lives to change for the better. Enter the government which made it possible for dysfunctional people to blow off both family and faith and opt for money from a nonjudgmental sugar daddy. So we have our problem and it is hardly surprising and won’t be solved without fundamental changes in our society.

Now here is a conundrum. L.A. welcomes all kinds of people to cross the international border illegally, but gets upset when people cross the freeway underpass?

Speaking of Vegas, there are miles of underground infrastructure built to support and service all those strip hotels and for rain runoff to prevent flash floods - it’s become an underground camp for the homeless.

Also speaking of Vegas, overheard this ...

“What happens in Vegas ... will be five in February.”

The geography of the state is second to none.

It’s an amazing place that has had the Left scrape it’s feet off on it for decades.

L.A. will soon turn into a Calcutta or New Delhi. You will have slums, a business district, and a few enclaves for the rich.”

This what the socialists want. They want to deconstruct the evil Western Culture. The goal is to devolve into one of the socialist countries like Cuba, Venezuela, etcetera.

Not a white socialist/communist country because whites are toxic. Sprawling ghettos are the goal so as to make everyone more equal.

I didn’t want him for president because he is too quiet, too nice. I figured the socialists would run right over the top of him.

We needed a warrior...

The socialists have been using most of the funds to help illegals. HUD housing, medical, and mental health programs have been being used for illegals over our own citizens.

I am not one to think throwing money at the homeless issue is the answer but we are not even doing that. The money is being thrown at the illegals. What they are doing to “help” the citizen homeless is giving them permission to set up tents on sidewalks and potty in public areas.

Baloney.

There are lots of solid,intact families out there.

Many FReepers make fun of adult children who DO live with their families———they find it quite humorous.
