What a good idea. I’m sure he’ll do an absolutely spectacular job. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?

A few years ago they built apartment building specifically for the homeless, where they could live for free. But one of the conditions was: no drugs.

The homeless didn’t like that, they preferred to live on the street and continue using drugs.

You cannot help those who don’t want to be helped.

He should send them a few million illegals. Libs say how productive they are, so that should solve all their problems.

If you like how Kommiela represents Mexifornia,you’re gonna love her being President. I hope she wins the nomination. It’ll be another creative campaign that will crash and burn on the rocks of reality.

If we deported a million illegals from California, they would have enough housing for everyone who is here legally.

Homelessness?

Actually it started when Obama became president.

The first wave was the Democrat Occupy derelicts who took up one of our public parks and the City could do absolutely nothing about it because the ACLU kept on suing every time they tried to remove them or arrest them.

After several months of this, the rest of the scum, derelicts and drug addicts realized the government had no power to enforce any of its laws on vagrancy, panhandling, crapping on the sidewalk, or anything else.

Now we have thousands of the walking dead all over the place.

Of the many reasons for homelessness, one of the biggies (IMHO) is so frequently overlooked...

...ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!

Because... 1. (IIUC) illegal aliens take up affordable housing and also middle-class housing, with illegal #s of illegal peeps dwelling, therein, illegally. (One suspects HUD's fine hand, here. Thanks for nothing, HUD).

2. The shortage of reasonably priced abodes drives up demand and therefore prices, pricing those of modest means out of the market.

3. Illegal aliens scoop up much of the unskilled, semi-skilled, and even skilled jobs. Putting those of modest skills out of work. (Thanks for nothing, those who hire illegals to save on costs.)

4. One most highly suspects that illegal aliens take up funds for services (health care, mental health, rehab, job placement, you name it.) Certainly at least some of the addicts and mentally ill would like to receive services that now, one highly suspects, are given to illegal aliens.

5 Bottom Line? Much of of the homelessness in our fine Country can be traced to illegal aliens taking what rightfully should go to American Citizens.

And whatever federal funds are used to clean up the CA problem should be deducted from the normal amount sent to CA.

fed govt has no direct role in this problem.....

but i am heartened that PDJT cares ...

maybe his attention can get the problem states to change their homeless-creating policies like inviting every derelict and lazy bum to move in to collect tons of free money, food, hot meals on top of the boxes of groceries, free health care, free bus and train passes, free clothing, free this and free that.
and more freebies, too.

happened to visit ... there were 300 people lined up at a suburban college .. all with large shopping carts...they are permitted to fill up with free food of their choice....canned foods, fresh foods, dairy, meats, fruits, vegies, you name it all free. no names required. no id required. no income tests required. citizens and illegal aliens alike. no discussion required, do not have to speak English even. just take a number and after 5 to 10 minutes they call you in a small group...and you each get to fill up with whatever free foods you want.

These folks may already get free money to buy their groceries. They also may attend free lunchrooms for free hot meals, too. They also may go to any number of OTHER free food giveaway locations nearby and fill up even more.

no questions asked. oh yeah, one place asks for a contact number or email address, that’s ALL. the rest don’t ask.

the punch line.....
this was an upscale suburban community not an urban slum.
the freeloaders all drove there, and after filling up they wheel their boxes full of free foods to their fancy cars.
I checked the cars. ALL within 5 years or brand new model years. NO dents. No junkers. Average car value around $40,000 including some Mercedes and Lexii and a Porsche.
one person was wheeling their over-loaded shop cart away.
turns out they live around the corner in a $2,000,000 house

bottom line....you gets what you incentivize
or pay for

give tons of freebies away and you’ll attract tons of freeloaders

(note I am not criticizing anyone who through disability or otherwise may actually need assistance!!!! None of these people showed any signs of falling into that category...that’s my main point, thanks)

they were all dressed better than my tour group, too
ha!

oh yes, free health care is dispensed at the same site
and since it is a college campus, free classes are on offer to anyone who merely signs a one page fee waiver form (which is the only thing mentioned in this memo that at least attempts or pretends to be on some kind of need basis, but even that is questionable...you just check a box and turn it in and they enroll you in whatever classes you want)

no need to run up big student debt ... that’s mostly a fake political story . ha!

That is Sacramento’s problem to fix.

Let the rich Hollywooders and rich techies foot the bill for a real solution.

NO! Leave it alone Mr. President.

We have foreign and domestic enemies that haven’t heard from you yet.

Please! Do something. The “homeless” are virtually all junkies or opioid addicts. And they’re all over the country, especially in liberal areas.

This ruins a city. I was in Asheville NC last weekend and the junkies and addicts were draped on every bench or even clear patch, and the thing that grossed me out was that patrons at a cafe I was going to go to were literally stepping over the feet of a half-naked 30ish druggie passed out in front of the establishment. I was going to call 911 but he was breathing and somebody there told me not to call. However, I didn’t go to the cafe and just went back to my hotel.

In any case, I’d never go back there again.
