The real solution to this problem won't ever be solved as long as emotional suburban white women have a say. That voting bloc will never be willing to stomach what it would take to solve this issue.

To add insult to injury Ronnie signed the laws to close the long term locked care facilitates that treated the population that needed it and converted to mental health care by police.

IIRC Reagan did that because of a plethora of lawsuits against the existing system.

Off topic here as well. I live in the West Hollywood area in CA. What’s interesting to me is that there is a fluctuation in how many folks I see on the streets. Near LAX there are a few blocks that are filled with old RVs with folks living out of them. It’s even getting bad in the valley area now.

About two months ago they were EVERYWHERE on Sunset Blvd. I’d feel like I was in the game Frogger when I was just trying to walk up to Ralphs for groceries.

Now, not very many at all. Also found it interesting that when high level Chinese officials were up in San Fran- no homeless to be seen at all in that area.

I guess my point is that until cities decide to consistently enforce existing laws and codes- this will remain a problem. It’s not the only solution of course.

I still wonder where the hell the ones on Sunset went off to though.

Do you mean my final solution?

Instead of Hunger Games we could have a Homeless Games.

This is kinda off topic, but I saw a video with that douche bag from Rage Against the Machine where he had “Arm the Homeless” on his guitar. There’s no telling what that MFer is worth, I wonder what he’s doing to help. He also had a hammer and sickle on his guitar. It’s funny how these POS turn communist after they get their bag on the back of capitalism.

Dude is sick at guitar though.

Stop calling them homeless for starters. Identify them based on the primary reason they became homeless.

Mental illness and drug addiction are the most common two explanations.

The drug addiction thing is a problem of our collective doing. While putting people in jail for drugs is a poor use of life we all know we would want ourselves and our family members to have forced interventions. If you are too strung out on alcohol or drugs to function then yes you need some forced sober and withdrawal time.

The mental illness issue is often harder but the similar logic of preventing unnecessary harm to yourself or others applies once you interfere with other people's day to day life. And especially if you pose a risk of physical harm to others.

Stop giving damn money to every other country all over and spend it here. Make them accountable if they get money. The govt sure don't make countries accountable to the money we give them.
