Part of the story left out of this...is the cost situation for just about any housing. You could have bought some property in the 1970s for $70,000 and today it’d be worth $700,000. Go look for a 2-bedroom apartment and just shake your head over the going rate. Guys living out of cars, tents....it’s all part of the unaffordable housing trend, and the bubble that has grown in California.

The other part of the story left out is that this is what happens when you let the enviro-wackos prevent development of any new housing close to jobs. At least in the SF Bay area there is lots of land, it is just "preserved" in green belts. San Mateo county alone owns thousands of acres of "parks" that it has no money to actually develop into real parks, so it is fenced off and people are kept out.

The concept of selling some of the land to developers to get the money to actually make parks out of the rest hasn't crossed anyone's mind.

Do they really fence off those tracts? Wow, just wow. I suppose if they didn’t, people would be squatting on them. They probably are anyway.

And see my previous, we’re on the same page.

I used to hop the fence and ride my mtn bike in those San Mateo “parks”.

I even saw a mountain lion!

Sadly, I saw homos humping too.
