Get them off drugs, and find them jobs, and 90% of the problem will be solved.

I wonder what percentage of them are actually employable. They may be taking drugs to medicate themselves.

What comes to mind is the song "King of the Road." Some of these people prefer to drift, just doing their own thing & expecting everyone else to support them.

Affordable housing in CA is now an oxymoron.

In the 1970s, you could buy a decent starter home for 40,000.

Now it costs 600,000 to find a place just for a couple and one kid.

People are literally priced out of the housing market and Freepers slam the poor rather than bureaucrats for creating the affordable housing crisis.

Disgusting. In most of the country people can afford a place to live. Just not in CA.

According to those who have been vetting the urban campers of the Santa Ana River Trail:

1/3 are drug or alcohol abusers
1/3 are crazy
1/3 are criminals
