In CA. housing has become so expensive due to ALL of the USELESS regulation and never ending unless permits ect. ect. that developers have to deal with THEN add the invasion of illegals into the state creating an overwhelming demand for housing AND there you have it, homeless everywhere!!! There is becoming a HUGE problem however the liberals with their beautiful multi million dollar beach front properties NOW have homeless tent dwellers all over with their FREE beach front property!!! I live in a coastal community in Ventura county and it is a MESS!!! It won’t be long before the liberals will start SCREAMING then what, where are ALL of these homeless going to go???
Sadly, they will do what cities are already doing - giving them $50 and buying them a bus ticket to some other city.
When we left Florida in 2006 it was either (or both) St Pete or Tampa that were buying them bus tickets to Lakeland because charities there had set up multiple shelters - basically advertising for them - Lakeland became the preferred winter home. You can guess how that played out. You'd go downtown to the park on Friday night, which had been nice, and deal with the druggie homeless panhandling and pissing everywhere.
Back to my original point. Busing and dumping them in some other city is how they deal with it. Although, they have allowed it to get way, way past the point where that will make a dent in the population.
Progressives have absolutely no clue about the law of unintended consequences. They think they can regulate and legislate it away, thus creating more self fulfilling unintended consequences. And a vicious circle gets worse and worse.
