here is my proposal. I live in California so I have a good idea how angry my proposal will make the left and the right...
Require that every gated community house a one long term homeless person that has a drug charge (2 or more years homeless)for every 10 in residence.... I am sick of the legislature not taking care of this problem. I unfortunately do not have a gate on my community. this means that my condo has homeless going through my garbage can and camping out in my neighborhood. If you go to the freeway which is a block away and you have a tent town filled with garbage that periodically is cleared out by the police and highway patrol.The place is so dirty that they have to wear hazmat suits. this encampment always returns.
The parks in my town that are not behind private gates have become a place to buy varies drugs. they are not safe for parents to take there small children to. The big problem is that those who control how homeless is dealt with are the ones who have walled themselves off from the problem.
Free booze and drugs at some out of the way place. F the support services.
