A rising wave of homelessness is growing and spreading in the major Democrat controlled cities on the Left Coast. Spreading disease, drug addiction, and social disorder in its wake. From Seattle to San Francisco to Los Angeles the quality of life is plummeting. Democrat municipal and state authorities seem oblivious, placing the rights of the homeless above their duty to their citizens, taxpayers, and public safety. More than 60,000 homeless people by official count are living on the streets of Los Angeles. That doesn’t include the surrounding municipalities and cities in Orange County. Actual estimates are much higher, and the homeless seem to be everywhere.

Obviously, Nancy isn’t doing enough for them. How many does she have in her guest room?
We lived in Los Angeles County 4 times, and San Bernardino county once, it is just over the border to the east from L A.
Lived in (L A county in ) San Marino, Pasadena, Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga (S.B. county) and in Claremont (L.A.) again. 1988 - 2013 we lived in and out of California. I saw ONE homeless woman in Pasadena. That is all. In all those years. It sure has gone DOWN HILL!
California - where dogs step in Human Poop!
And my father at age 13 came down with either typhoid fever or typhus, whichever is the deadlier one. He would be 100 this year. He spent a year in a hospital bed and a year at home in bed. He lived and completely recovered. But I have the letters he wrote home to his mom while in hospital for a year and he sounded really bad.
The people with education, job skills, money to MOVE out of California are MOVING OUT! I heard some on radio yesterday... moving to Nebraska... and Montana... and far too many are moving here to Texas! Please don’t bring any liberal politics! All that will be left will be the super rich, the migrants and vagrants!
We moved out of Claremont Ca in 2013. Claremont is a beautiful little college town... but the politics are turning left there. I couldn’t wait to move out of there.
and no it was not the home prices.. there are expensive homes and cheap ones there and here in Austin.
thanx for posting
Dems have long used FEELINGS to “catch” voters. Pubbies use ideas.
Pubs need to learn how to first catch voters with feelings, and then keep them on the line with ideas.
Your words, not mine.
Where do you think this blogger got his material?
His team of ace reporters in the field?
Democrats will lose elections then blame Republicans for the mess they, the Dem’s, created.
Never. Over my dead body. No one rules for life in America.
Who put in the effort to collect it all in one easy access place?
And why is that so offensive to you?
Because he’s a grumpy old man with nothing better to do with his time. He’s the old guy in the movie always yelling at the young kids to turn down their loud music. Ignore him. He won’t go away. This is what gets him up in the morning and gives him simple pleasure. Sad.
“I don’t believe in blog saviors.”
We can’t predict where our saviors (to use his word) will come from. They begin hidden among the riffraff.
As a lifelong inhabitant of the “Golden State”, this is the worst aspect of liberalism, the part that really makes you think about moving elsewhere. The fact that these same people then go around the world preaching the gospel of environmentalism and social justice is truly “deplorable”.
This is not being blamed on Democrats, it’s blamed on POTUS Trump and the Tax Cuts, or something...
They still blame POTUS Reagan for the AIDS Crisis.
It’s par for the course.
They forgot Portland and Denver. And to show how they are trying to hide these things in liberal states, the city of New York did their count and found that there were 6% less homeless than in 2017. But they did the count in winter when the homeless go for better climates and leave the city.
The lie like a rug.

Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FR’s original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).
Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Can’t go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.
So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didn’t wish to read them could simply click on the “news” forum and they wouldn’t see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.
This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.
I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.
If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.
Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.

Dropped a few coins into his hat along the way. Ads cleverly disguised as reference links. I hope your AV software protect against malware.
His site is worthy of exposure and dissemination and the more people who read his work, the better off our country will be
Don’t know what your problem is
Does his site allow reader comments? Were there any comments? If so, he's doing exactly what Free Republic doesn't want him to do.
Free Republic isn't about promoting peoples' blogs. It's about encouraging discussion, here, on FR and not on some random blogger's site.
Don't believe me. Read JR's own words on the matter.
