Los Angeles Is Spending $4.5 Billion To End Homelessness

[Buckeye Fever]

Come to the Midwest.

Good, wholesome family values, great college basketball on those brisk winter Saturday afternoons, low cost of living outside of Chicago, all 4 of our tremndous seasons.

Atleast if I have to sleep outside or in a car, it’s in some pretty warm weather. South Dakota or any of those barren states up north?

I, personally, would get to south Florida if I was homeless.

They are down there too. Florida has it's own homeless issues.

Wow


I don't understand. Wouldn't it be beneficial if most of them move to places like Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, etc who have really really cheap cost of living and industries who are begging for workers

mentally ill and aren't trying to work. not all of them are california natives, some come from other states with a more hostile attitude towards the homeless or cold winters.

Four reasons for being homeless and my solution for dealing with them:

1. Bad life circumstances and working to get back into society: provide limited-term low cost housing and job opportunities to get back on track

2. Drug abuse: Give 1 year treatment in facility with 3 4-month probation periods to subject and if successful, move to option 1. If regress, move to option 3

3. Mental illness: move to off-site desert facility for use as organ harvesting or medical experiments

4. Lazy, Non-conforming: 3 month evaluation to determine if they are willing to conform. If so, send to option 1 with 5 year probation. If they fail probation, move to option 3.

Affordable housing? When I was CA I was surprised at the number of people who were just standing around with what looked like nothing to do. Give someone the ability to afford a studio apt while working a minimum wage job, would take 20% of the people of the street.

Side note, not sure why all these California politicians feel the need to run for President

That's more than $80,000/person..

There is absolutely no way it cost that much. Quite a few people running this project they're going to be lining their pockets..

Precisely.

Come to NY next. Bet the budget would be astronomical lol just like the helper initiative that continues to funnel money into providing hotel rooms for the homeless instead of building more affordable housing. Can't have it all
