Except... We are all paying for it not just California.

[immadashell]

The State will continue until they run out of other people’s money.

[Billthedrill]

Wait - they’re telling us the system is corrupt and that major amounts of money are missing? Well, I’ll be...

[LegendHasIt]

And yet I somehow manage to be quite comfortable spending only about $12,000 per year... Before Bidenomics, I spent about $8000 a year.

[Leep]

I think they meant ..
how much OPM California spends on the homeless. Because the cost of homes are through the roof.
No pun intended.

[ansel12]

This money isn’t going to that homeless guy, this money is spent on supporting the SYSTEM of the homeless, this money supports union government employees and buys their condos and elaborate benefits and wealthy retirements.

Remember before Gingrich that only 28 cents of every welfare dollar went to the poor, the rest was for the business of government workers, and it might be worse now, government unions are a business.

[verum ago]

Yet, as this spending has increased, so has California’s homeless population.

WHAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!!?!

When you subsidize something, it increases?

Who would've thought...

(Except every economist ever, including the commie ones...)

The Great State of California: I'm subsidizing peoples' drug use (needle programs etc)

Also California: "Why are so many people staying on drugs and not 'stepping up' into society at large?!?

No amount of money will solve the “homelessness” problem, and California’s efforts prove it.

[faithhopecharity]

Dear Californicator politicians,
the more taxpayer money is thrown at “homeless” and your ridiculous welfare benfits system, the more homeless you’re gonna attract

[Mark]

CONSERVATIVE reporters should ask each politician if they could take just a few of these poor humans into their households. We all want their answers.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Connected people in CA can get rich monetizing the homeless.

$42,000 per

[aquila48]

“a figure that underscores the state’s urgent effort to curb this intractable crisis.”

It’s not an intractable crisis. Singapore has hardly any “homeless”, ie, druggies.

Go there and see how they managed to solve this “intractable crisis”!

[Bon of Babble]

This is exactly why all Californians must vote NO on Measure A.

Measure A:

Doubles the temporary sales tax for homelessness programs and makes the tax increase permanent.

Don't give the likes of Newsom and his Commie buddies in the statehouse more of your tax money to fritter away on stupid homeless programs that do not work.

[metmom]

In a scathing report released in April, the California State Auditor determined the state has done a poor job accounting for homeless spending and tracking results.

Of course they are It's deliberate.

That way nobody knows how much is going to line politicians pockets.

The only thing I can conclude is that the government has become the biggest money laundering organization in this country.

[A strike]

so, if you pay more for ‘homeless’, you get more homeless ??!

[Chode]

“which equated to nearly $42,000 per homeless individual”

not bad money for a parasitoid...
