The proffered solution proposes four mandatory tracks:

Sounds nice, but it's a lot to chew on. Mental hospitals should be the primary goal initially. These were proffered not as suggestions but as clear targets to be implemented.

They’re going to be more of it because they are enabling it.

They were reportedly sent to the L.A. Grand Hotel [...]

Does the L.A. Grand Hotel feature concierge service? 'Cuz I (as a homeless person) ain't stayin' in no hotel without concierge service!

Regards,

I’ve been saying this for years. There is no lack of funding as billions are spent on homeless every year - enough to rent hotel rooms for all. Instead the money is sucked up by bureaucrats and the homeless are left to rot on the streets, thus justifying continued existence of the bureaucracy.

1) Surveillance Drones

2) People can instantly communicate

3) Printed media, Advertising, Television Media spread propaganda

4) Governmental edicts that are tyrannical

5) Money is basically “god” to most people

6) Jobs and promotions based on compliance

7) Christian preacher(s) persecuted under color of law

Good thing it’s just a movie and can’t come true in real life, eh?

Many libs are not that rational, they truly see the drunks, drug addicts, bums and mental cases as ‘our best people’ who are confronting a brutal materialistic system and need to be elevated, praised, lauded and loved as symbols of those who ‘truly need help and compassion’. Many libs, especially women believe this and tenderly love these people. The people they hate, and would wish to see ‘dehoused’ so the ‘homeless could have ‘decent shelter’ are white , straight, middle class people, especially men.

Mental hospitals are a furnace to throw money into. Money that can be used to bribe voters to support Democrats. That’s why they aren’t a viable solution. No one wants to pay for them.

I worked in mental health for years via the state system. They were cleaning out the hospitals over 25 years ago and closing them down while placing the chronically ill in group homes to show Sacramento the social workers and psychologists cured mental illness.

They shut down normalization units and placed them directly in to these small homes and the homes failed miserably.

They( California state or county) would have to hire staff, experienced staff and their bureaucracy is so heavy it’s doubtful this will go beyond their little bullet points and a singular model facility.

What it takes is a Constitutional Amendment that persons who are unwilling to work enough for self sustaining life needs and unwilling to abstain from debilitating addictions may be committed to long term compulsory residential facilities.

That’s they way it used to be before around 1965 when the ACLU decided it was better for the street crazies to be free, and it worked just fine. It was expensive to house the people so they didn’t get committed in great numbers. But, they were safe within the facility for the most part and were not eating feces and choking on vomit in an alley.

“… (a fair portion of the population) need to be put into mental hospitals. This needs to be done even if they try to refuse treatment, much like the approach currently being attempted in New York City. “

Think THINK! Where have I heard of this being done before…?

After they take out an insurance policy out on them and then buy the stuff for them.

If you visit the hotel’s website, you will see no mention of the fact that it is now being used as a homeless shelter. The site only notifies you that the hotel is undergoing renovations and will offer all new services and style “premiering in 2023.”

That page seems a little outdated. It also says, “For shorter-term or immediate group or event needs for 2021, please contact our sister property Sheraton Universal Hotel or calling 818-980-1212.”
