Democrat’s America
One could make the argument that it's Republican's America due to the belief in trickle-down economics, bootstrap upward mobility, and lack of public mental health support. I'm not going to make that argument.
It turns out we all share this problem. It's a failure of the entire system that doesn't get fixed because both sides have moved so far to their edges.
But keep blaming one side. That will surely fix it.

No, we don't. I don't give two flying fricks about anyone in LA, much less California as a whole.
I care about my family and friends, in that order. Everyone else can get fricked.

Local / State jurisdiction and responsibility.
Name a major top 20 city run by conservatives that has this problem.
Take the rest of this year if you need the time.

You are spot on about the lack of public mental health support, but you are dead wrong on everything else. These people aren’t homeless because jobs are hard to get; on the contrary, it’s hard to find low wage workers, and those wages are plenty enough to keep you off the streets. The problem is drug addiction and mental health. The left decriminalized drug use. The right fought against it.
Mental health is more complicated with the left being in favor of deinstitutionalizing them and the right happily cutting budgets. No question about it, though, it is the left to whom this is tolerable.

What's the total opposite option that would be better, and fix these issues?

Democrats have spent decades making poverty comfortable. Don't even try to talk about solving this problem until you address the root causes.

I don’t disagree with your post.

Woof this is too much for me to process. Can you explain your theory?

Jesus.
This belief reinforces the idea that some people just arent fit to live in a free society
I have no issue with homes for those who cannot take care of themselves, I don't think anyone is. But we have those, we just end up with more homeless as a result.
