Homeless people stealing power caused $500 million of damage to an LA freeway. It will take three months to repair. 10 million people are inconvenienced because homeless people were allowed to steal electricity.

Getting even MORE of what they voted for.

And they're getting it harder and faster, too.

Then it was the electricity supply — an unlimited source of power from magic power plugs.

I've posted before the woman I knew in the '70s, graduated summa cum laude from Radcliff, who actually believed that, exactly as you phrased it. Magic.

Honest question: What can be done with / about / for the homeless? Why are there so many of them now? What could it be? Inquiring minds want to know.

Who was the moron who leased out the city land under and beside the 10 to build A large bonfire?

BINGO. In a sense, it doesn’t matter what started it. Fires happen, whether it’s homeless warming fires, stealing electricity, or whatever. If a small fire involving homeless tents or their shopping carts had broken out, the FD could send out a single engine, pull a line off the rack, and have it out in 10 minutes. The fact that the State allowed massive amounts of combustible material to be stored under a large unsprinklered area is criminal negligence.

Yikes.

I’ve long thought that the crazy at the polls is people believing that they can create reality by voting for magic ‘solutions’.

It appears you are as sick of traffic circles and bike lanes as I am.

The guy who leased the land under the freeway was illegally sub leasing to anyone like pallet storage, truck storage, many others for $1,000 to $4,000 a month.
He never paid Caltrans the money for his lease. It was over $600,000! Caltrans response was not to boot him out but to tell those sub leasing not to him...

Just remember, they need all of these homeless people, including the mentally ill, drug addicts, etc., to vote for the Dems to win elections in CA. If people didn’t see so many homeless people, they wouldn’t believe the numbers of ballots for homeless people that magically appear on election night and thereafter.

Just wait til SF moves em all in to vacant 35 story high rises, which is why, the Pols actively work for downtown vacancy. What could go wrong, with homeless 35 stories up? If anything goes wrong, why, it’s probably environmental racism anyway, or something…
