I just moved to the desert in Ca. the beach area became unlivable homeless and crime EVERYWHERE, I am now living in a community with a HUGE gate AND a guard house at the gate which is manned 24/7! There are no homeless tents anywhere it is to damn hot for them to live outside!! I made so much money on my home at the beach I came here paid cash, ANYONE that wants to live on the beaches here TODAY are complete fools, the cost is astronomical and you are no longer safe living there NO ONE does a damn thing about it!! I feel really sorry for the young family that bought my home they are in for a RUDE AWAKENING they were so excited about living on the beach!! They could SEE all of the tents EVERYWHERE what the hell did they think, that people were just camping???
When I was on vacation at the beach last year (Florida panhandle), we saw a tent or two. It was a short walk to the public access where there are bathrooms and showers. After two days of seeing the tents pop up and stay overnight, someone must have called the cops, because they came and spoke to the people who took down their tent and left without a scene. Then it was back a few days later. So I guess they move once the cops show up to a different “home” near a different public access. I’m grateful that at least in that part of Florida, they are trying to keep them from being vagrants. If more show up, though, it will soon be too many to handle, and will go the way of your old home. Very sad.
