To me, this speaks volumes about two factors:
1. Don’t elect liberal governors. I suspect many of these homeless have come over the border.
2. How can this be allowed to continue when all of the loving, caring lefties with tons of $$$ live in that area? Why aren’t those tolerant and compassionate Hollywood liberals providing accommodation for their fellow man?
FYI - we DO live in a 3rd world country.

Nationwide, Homelessness Plunged Under Obama

Since 2010, the nation has seen double-digit drops in homeless families (23 percent), individuals experiencing chronic homelessness (27 percent), and veteran homelessness (47 percent). While some states, such as New York, saw increases in homelessness over this time periodespecially over the last yearnationwide, the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2016 fell 14 percent since 2010.

But the Trump administration, and the Republican Party that now controls Congress and most state governments, may also take action that will drive thousands of families into despair. Taking away housing aid from desperate families that need it would quickly put a near-term goal of ending homelessness firmly out of reach.
Venezuela, right there in Los Angeles.
“There’s a Republican President so, of course, homelessness is an issue again”
Bingo- the Fake news pulled out their tired B.S. story-
BTW— an even better picture is looking at the videos
of the streets in Detroit!- scary
I have driven through this neighborhood a few times recently, thousands of homeless americans, yet here I sit in my hangar at Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, surrounded by 200,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS in Subsidized Section 8 housing.
According to my observation on the bums (I won’t call them homeless because it is an insult to people that are legitimately displaced by unfortunate circumstances) their population exploded under the B.O. regime. It’s a phony excuse to show that your are compassionate and spend money, hire bureaucrats, create new entitlements.And then Trump comes along and Shazam the script changes,he’s responsible for everything. Happens every time when a Repubican is elected.
John & Ken on KFI were talking about this last week. In addition to all of the usual reasons for the homeless increases in SoCal, there is another phenomenon happening.
It seems that SoCal, in particular, Costa Mesa has a lot of rehab centers. People from all over the country are coming here to go into rehab, but of course are never rehab’ed. When they get out, they once again are homeless druggies.
The rehab business is a real racket. In a lot of cases, insurance pays for months of rehab at a treatment facility. But there is no accountability as to whether any of the patients are actually “cured”. When their treatment is finished they are just turned out onto the street.
My thought as well. Republican president = Homeless Headlines.
Expect to hear about “McJobs” again as well - that was another word that disappeared when the Kenyan Sultan was enthroned.
