Activist Group Plans $3 Billion City to Solve California’s Homeless Problem (drugs, deaths)

[TheGoodTheBadTheUgly]

The problem isn't housing. The problem is why they don't have a place to live. Believe it or not only about 10% are mental health issues. The bulk of it is drugs.

An activist group is planning a $3 billion city that includes dorm-style accommodations, communal televisions, and underground tunnels to house California’s homeless.

This is actually an amazing idea.

Look, the libs won’t let us blatantly quarantine the bums and force them to work. This guy essentially wants to accomplish this, but with enough touchy feely positivity to satisfy the libs.

This is great! I’m tired of working for a living. I’m moving back to California!

Dumbest idea ever.

Law of unintended consequences on a massive scale.

I don't know what the solution is but this ain't it.

why comment like this when you don't have an alternative?

I'll wager that it will turn into a drug-ridden, crime-infested ghetto within months.

The main issue with homeless in the West Coast is drug abuse. You give them housing and it will be destroyed in a week. If we apply the same laws we all have to abide by, there will be so little actual homeless people that we will have no problem housing them and getting them in training programs so they can eventually become self-sufficient again.

Getting help for people that are addicted to drugs should be a much bigger priority than it is. Sad seeing so many Americans degrade and insult people who are mentally and physically addicted to poison, as if they want to be drug addicts.

Drug abuse transcends political parties and should be a non-partisan issue. The far-right conservative posters in here love talking about how liberal California has such a bad drug problem, when there is a wave of meth and opioid overdoses and deaths that is sweeping across small-town "red" America, so bad that it has been labeled an epidemic.
