Bush’s fault of course.
I blame FDR and LBJ.
If we’ve already got “record homelessness”, why the hell does Barry keep importing more?
It’s the weather. If you gotta be poor, this has got to be the best place to be poor.
But if a Republican is elected they will blame him/her within 24 hours.
I gotta plan. Have a “Get out of town lottery.” Give every homeless person a lottery ticket to win the $100M if they agree to leave California and never come back. Give the winner the $100M. Problem solved.
for libtards, more homelessness just means there needs to be higher taxes, and bigger government.
Liberalism is playing out as a huge failure but libtards don’t want to hear that. They’ve become too much of fanatics towards their cause to listen to the damage they’ve helped cause. They’d rather let this country go broke than admit the failure we all see playing out when they are in charge.
The major problem is, too many of these fanatics are in charge of too many things in this country and places of influence these days (the media is a good example of this). Since liberalism has been a huge failure (all one has to do is point out the massive debt we have getting to this point) they will eventually drag America down with them.
Many here understand this. I write this for those liberals/progressives that come to read here so they take a good look at the damage of what they believe plays out in the real world. There is no one else to blame for what is happening in California but on liberalism. Same for Detroit and other statist bastions where liberals and progressives ran the show for decades.
Now, you libs/progs want to bring those failures to the rest of America. This is your wake-up call, this is the reality of what you believe. You can continue to let the devil blind you to reality or come to understand the failures and help us get America back to the Constitutional Republic it is supposed to be before the libs/progs tried to do their best to undermine it for the last century or so. America can be strong again but the liberal/progressive statist ideas for this country need to be purged and get government back to the Constitution that is was intended to be.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles for some 43 years and NEVER remember seeing any Asian so-called homeless.
We were in Seattle over the weekend. Shocking number of homeless and just friggin’ nutcases in the downtown/port area. But the town is pretty clean. Of course, you can’t walk a block without getting behind somebody who’s smoking a joint.
Couldn’t get back to the Alamo City soon enough.
All you have to do is travel in Asia a little to realize that that part of the world now sees the U.S. as a country in economic and social collapse. China in particular views the U.S. as a joke.
“Homelessness” is more a product of untreated mental illness than poverty. This population has a variety of psychoses. Many of them will not live under a roof until extreme weather forces them inside. To treat them would be costly and labor intensive. It would involve diagnosing and classifying individuals and then trying to persuade them to live in a group home or at least visit an outpatient clinic for medication. They can’t just be rounded up and treated because the courts generally prohibit it.
