Everything Democrats touch they turn to sh!t....
Every red state should pay the transportation of their homeless to sunny, warm, generous, and inviting California.
You can’t label something a failure or success without knowing the goals.
Until Dems change their policies, I assume they are on track toward their goals - it may look like a failure to most of us but it’s part of their long term plan and they are making progress.
I drove through Oakland yesterday and Ho Lee Kaw!!!
In one section there must have over 40 brand new tents setup. These were big enough to sleep four people .
How did that many people, on the same spot, have brand new tents that are bigger than what I use?
/S
NYC is doing the same thing, with the same result. Zillions of “hotels” are being built in clearly non-tourist areas and then, after a few months of operation, voila-—they turn into a homeless shelter which hauls in a whole lot more money from the city than a hotel ever did. Blighting block after block. Who would have thought there were that many homeless? Ah, but NYC has a suckers law which states we must provide shelter for all who claim they need it, with the consequence that every bum, druggie, and illegal is moving here to get put up by us, the NYC taxpayers. So homeless shelters are popping up like mushrooms here, degrading neighborhood after neighborhood with the lowest of the low.
They have homeless illegals in California. They also have homeless mentally ill who could not function no matter what their government did. The third group is homeless people who are priced out of housing by supply and demand - so many illegals living 5 families to a home/apartment that a legal blue collar family cannot afford a home. That last group makes me angry at the corrupt leftist thugs who control California and don’t care about our fellow Americans. Liberals disgust me.
If they have not eaten zoo animals and Woolly Mammoth remains, they have not yet succeeded.
Also legal pot
Au contraire.
CA’s exploding homeless population is a resounding success - to the Left.
It’s a naturally temperate climate (at least within a couple miles of the coast), so little more than a tent is needed to remain mostly comfortable.
The gov’t siphons $$$millions in surplus revenue from the productive (thanks, Silicon Valley types and insane real estate investors), and is practically implementing a “universal basic income” (they just haven’t unified it yet, but won’t because...).
The bureaucracy required to support the burgeoning homeless population is massive & growing, thanks to the plethora & complexity of welfare services (for want of a single-check UBI) - an enormous success for the socialistic government.
The concentration of basic public-access services (food, laundry, medical, etc) keeps everything practically within walking distance.
Illegal immigrants find themselves stuck in this system, unable to work/vote legitimately so they have to expand the illegal work/vote black market, creating more dependency & supporting the bureaucracy.
Ergo, it’s a socialistic success: the “rich” bring in more $ than they could possibly need, with a large fraction skimmed off of either direct income or high-price goods/services sustaining them; the “poor” live in relative (to other world poor) comfort, with a vast array of basics & perks paid for; in between is a massive gov’t bureaucracy keeping many comfortably employed and in power. Sounds like a win for the Left.
...at least until the next plague-level epidemic sweeps thru (having to bleach sidewalks in hazmat suits should be a red flag), the un-assimilated rise up to take control of what they consider their country, and/or the rich take their money & run before being crushed by rising prices and confiscatory taxation. Popcorn?
If you feed them, house them, pay them, cuddle them... they will come... and stay.
Jerry Brown tried this in the 1970’s. A judge got impeached who was fronting for him and the democrats. This time they are successful. One group of criminals helping another.
This is also about votes. Crime is way up but the local police have been told to lie about it.
the more parasites, the more votes for libtard candidates. The dums know what they are doing
