We are all wasting time posting on here. Pot meet Kettle.

Sounds like what’s been going on in every major city park around the country with a mild climate. Just another anti liberal California rant. We have a huge homeless and drug problem across the county both in conservative and liberal areas of the country.

Problem is the further people are pushed out, the worse the commute gets. The cities are too spread out for their own good. Too spread out and lacking adequudensity and a variety of transit options to balance it them out. Was a mosguided attempt at a suburban american dream that died under its own weight. Peole kept voting to keep the status quo and wondering why things kept getting worse.

As an Angeleno, we’re insane for the things we put ourselves through when it comes to traffic. Heading to work in the morning and being back just to fall asleep and do it all over again. 2/3rds of your week spent stuck in traffic.

Not to derail the thread though. Subject for another time.

This is true for dense coastal cities, but by and large middle America is full of small cities with close affordable housing.

I can't help but think how the Dems go out of their way to help illegal aliens but they can't do anything for the homeless?





Here is a conundrum What if the illegal alien becomes homeless? Will the Dems help then?

Many are, but many are more networked into the welfare system than many mentally challenged American Homeless.

There have been noticable homeless in Santa Monica and L.A for many years but the situation has gotten worse with the criminal behavior .

This isn’t the nice “bag lady” types we are talking about .
The wedding was actually at a country club, so no.

Otherwise, I was just recalling my memories of Santa Monica.

During the depression they had borders set up and refused entry to many wanting to move to CA.

They got panhandlers down in SM that will hack the parking meters for you. I didn't use one, just paid. But pretty clever.

And for that price you get to experience things like this at the local park

Liberals sure know how to destroy quality of life in a city don’t they ? As the left has gone further to the left things have gotten much worse.

“Residents around a popular park in Santa Monica said they are worried about taking their children there following spate of disturbing incidents involving members of the homeless community in the area.

Parents who live near Christine Emerson Reed Park on Lincoln and Wilshire boulevards told CBS2 News they’ve been extra watchful of their children when they go the the park. There have been reports of homeless persons exposing themselves to children, leaving drug paraphernalia on the grounds, and even having sexual intercourse in public.”

“She claimed a friend of her daughter was slashed with a broken picture frame by a homeless man at nearby Tongva Park in August”

“Police were called to the park last week after a 12-year-old boy who was at Reed for a tennis lesson claimed he saw two people having sex in a bathroom stall. The suspects had already left the scene by the time police arrived, The Santa Monica Mirror reported.”

Was the homeless man caught mid-defecation on the side of the road?

Meanwhile, you and I are dregs of society and deplorable
