The libs just don't get it, even with a vote of 2-1 the people are still worng or they aren't hearing the message or of course if they did they would change the way they vote (feel)

As Horace Greely said "go west young man" and San Fran would love to have you.

When I first launched my website in 1999 I sold my belongings a traveled around the country for 10 months, the last 2 I spent on South Padre Island near Brownsville Texas. At the end of the Island there are some beautiful sand flats that can't be built on because they are so low to sea level but the owner lets any one who wants to stay there can, for free.

So during the winter months thousands of people go to the flats to camp out and enjoy the beautiful weather. The variety of people and their homes is amazing. There are 1.2 million dollar Prevosts all the way down to a one man tent. The amazing thing is every body gets along and helps every body out. Since I am a chef and my logo was blazoned on the side with my logo I became pretty popular pretty fast. Folks were always stopping by for some thing to eat and to say hello. Whether the person was rich or homeless they all had their own way of paying you back the favor.

After a while we came up with nicknames for everybody like; Rock Man, the box kids the tow guy. We ended up getting to know about 8 of the homeless folk’s real well. We heard their life stories and got to know what their lives were about.

There were two major things I learned; one they are very happy people who have chosen where they are in life and stay there by choice and secondly they know how to play the system- the homeless system. A lot of people don't know it but most homeless people migrate around the country. The go often where the weather is good and the benefits are best.

Not one homeless person I have ever met and I have honestly talked with hundreds, said to me I wish I had a house or a car or any thing else but a few bucks or some thing to eat.

Most homeless people are there by choice and they stay there by choice.

Homeless advocates were crushed.

Oh, if it were only so. Cut local support for the homeless to zero and soon you will have zero homeless. You may still have to listen to the activists but ignoring them becomes easier.

But that effort fell apart, too, when Clark County voters responded by saying "no" – by nearly a 2-1 ratio. Homeless advocates were crushed.

I'll bet. They had to get real jobs, instead.
