It would just be less expensive to put such people in group homes and have them be looked after.
Everyone’s quality of life would improve and the eyesore of homelessness and the sanitary and real estate impact issues surrounding it would disappear.
Taxpayers already pay for it and if they subsidize housing for homeless people, society is better off in the long run.
You state as fact that it would cost less, but do you really know...Sources? Does CA have the money? Seems such a venture would require a rather large initial expenditure to buy land and build these condo/apartment type facilities for the massive numbers of homeless with more coming across the border daily..
Seems California would have a massive number rules and regulations regarding the building maintaining, and staffing of acilities, staffing as well as the criteria for admission.
I would hope quality of life would improve for most, but I don’t think all homeless would qualify or even want to go. I don’t have numbers on this—just what has been posted.
Well, any others (esp. Californians) want to weigh in?
I’m with Freedom56. Untallied costs would be tremendous. Then, is it good enough? Do we pay electric and gas too? Are we supporting their drug addicted way of life? If so, then do we buy them drugs to make their lives more comfortable? Where does it end? it will never end ...
Meanwhile we (the few) who have gumption, jobs, and get-up-and-go have long since run screaming. “If a man will not work, he should not eat” the Biblical injunction applies here.
