Elections do have consequences.
Even if they don’t cite personal drug abuse....they go and mention one or both of the parents who were alcoholics/drug users, then they mention how they got placed within the family unit or some state situation....where they were abused. Just a fantastic number of people if you start going on the circumstances.
Fixing it.... Homeless Californians are victims of STATE TAXES before losing their homes, according to new research from the University of California San Francisco.
When will society admit they are simply Crazy People on Dope?
The only solution is involuntary commitment to the cookoos nest.
The important thing is to keep voting in Democrats and expecting things to improve.
Sorry for any conservatives suffering under Democrats running their big cities - like pretty much everywhere in the U.S.A.
sigh
Homeless Californians are often victims of violence and struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues before losing their homes,
Back in the 1980s, if you said that most of the homeless were mentally ill or substance abusers, you were crucified. The party line back then was the homeless are just like you and me, but they fell on hard times due to Reagan's evil policies.
Alcohol and drugs are often abused to self medicate when mental therapy is unavailable or inadequate. Countless people that are obviously mentally ill since childhood are ignored and never evaluated. We now have multiple generations of unchecked mentally ill that are ignored and walking the streets until they commit a crime bad enough to jail (where they meet even more mentally ill people and become worse).
Addicts will congregate among others with the same lifestyle and even travel for more drug/theft opportunities (usually to the largest cities).
I volunteer at local churches and rehab. NEVER met an addict that didn’t have mental issues and/or trauma that started their cycle of abuse. The key is these issues must be identified as early as possible before physical addiction and homelessness ruins them for life...
I’m in the wrong business. I need to start coming up with completely useless or obvious topics to “study” so I can receive millions in grant monies.
Please! Homeless? BullS!
If mentally unwell, CaCaLand provides extensive aid. Get off yer butt and go get it. If a junkie, die inna gutter.
The only legit category of “homeless” out thisaway, and it is a vanishing small %age, are the ones there because some medical family emergency hit them.
All the rest are parasitic bums. The only worse folks are the parasites running NGO’s and skimming $$ while claiming to help the “homeless”. Study after study show that only a very small %age makes it way to the street. All the rest is laundered and skimmed.
