Poor women getting pregnant is an addiction that is taking over urban America especially. One right after another they have because they are trying to get first-class service in the safety-net ponzi scheme.
California is especially guilty of it except for San Francisco it's incredible how many babies have one right after another despite the fact they know it is expensive.
San Francisco is the only exception I have seen to the baby factory rule in California. They have babies young and often outside of San Francisco in hopes of scoring a section 8 voucher.
I notice in San Diego, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Fresno having babies is in addiction for those who are not upper-middle class or above. Tremendous amounts of babies born to those who can't afford housing in Los Angeles, they think that by getting pregnant that the housing inventory can accomodate them and that's not the case.
I was in the El Cajon section of San Diego a few years ago and couldn't believe the amount of people with 3 to 5 kids each. Every business in that area was filled with screaming babies.
Would love to see them completely eliminate housing programs for families with children. They get a housing voucher and have more children because of the housing voucher then they invite parolee's into the home and then end up homeless and in the case of NYC in a luuxury unit.
Same thing with Koreatown, Westlake and Boyle Heights in Los Angeles I was stunned by the amount of children people have there. Why have all those children when you can't pay the going rate on rent or buy a house and need some scheme from socialist tax level city of LA.
Even with the massive fortune cities, states, federal government spends with so many poor families there is no inventory to house them. What they spend doesn't matter because the inventory is not there at all in many cities.
There just isn't the inventory anymore to house them. They tend to very concentrated in very expensive cities because very liberal, very expensive cities have massive welfare schemes so they can't really leave even though there is no inventory.
My reaction is the mothers of these 1.5 million children just had children so they could use their children for what they thought would be for front-line to a coveted section 8 voucher.
Rents are very high mostly because of welfare schemes like section 8 taking housing inventory out of the free market.
In NY there are so families, the mayor is proposing housing them in luxury apartments because that's where the few vacancies are.
A female rapper (sorry, can’t remember her name) mocked the whole pop-a-tot thing ten years ago. Her music video was hilarious with smiling women at the hair salon and pushing baby carriages through a sunny California neighborhood. The lyrics were crude: /All you need to do is f***, nine months later you get the big bucks/. She nailed it.
Not mentioned in these articles is the other half of the equation. Large cities have big-budget departments and thousands of employees that depend on a steady stream of “customers” to justify their jobs. Add to that the tangled web of nonprofits that help them spend the tax loot (it’s not easy to spend $billions) and you can see where this leads.
Thought mrT world all had jobs and a chicken in every pot. Women getting pregnant is an addiction? Well then -make that male birth control mandatory ASAP!! That way men can’t be used to over populate the earth. Men need to take this problem seriously! All your tax dollars to waste! Yes take personal responsibility and stop the wreckless spread of sperm!
Student homelessness gained most in states with a combination of yawning wealth gaps, stunted minimum wages, devastating natural disasters, and affordable housing shortages, and no single cause can account for the record-high population.
.....
On the local level, the largest rise in student homelessness has been in Texas, where the number of homeless students has doubled in three years to reach more than 231,000 people.
......
“We’re not moving the needle as much as we could because of the lack of affordable housing,” Karen Barber, the director of federal programs for the Santa Rosa County, Florida school district, told the New York Times. “That really is the biggest issue.”
From the federal report:
Quote:
During SY 2017-18, 74 percent of students experiencing homelessness shared housing with
others due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason.
Nothing there about women pumping out babies for the purpose of getting a Section 8 apartment in California.
Until we stop birthright citizenship it will only get worse.
It is a HUGE magnet for illegals and legal immigrants.
China now has birth tourism businesses thriving to get babies born in U.S.

That was Chapter Jackson. And, yes, you're describing the 'poverty pimps' who are in it for careers and profits. Here's Chapter's video (clean version):
Just a little note about student classification of homelessness from someone who has had to fill out the forms for the government, students who live in a space designed to house one single family but multiple families live there (i.e. two brothers with both wives and combined three children in 2-3 bedroom apartment) are considered homeless for statistics. This can include the child in the family that originally rented or owned the place along with the children in the second (third, fourth, etc) family. This is a common practice in illegal immigrant families for a variety of reasons. It also counts if my nephew and family are temporarily staying with us while their new $400,000+ house is being built because they sold their last house already.
My point is, not all “homeless” students are truly homeless.

1. People are willing to let children suffer for the poor choices of their parents, OR
2. People are willing to have the government enforce some means of reliable birth control on single moms
Most people are against both of the above, and I am strongly against #1, but I would love to require proof of either a current Depo shot or infertility before allowing any kind of government financial assistance -- but then that would mean that children would suffer, which is not acceptable to me!
It is a no-win situation for ALL concerned.
P.S. However, a the risk of incurring many howls of protest, I do think that every woman who receives SNAP assistance should receive a tubal ligation immediately after giving birth to her third child (and I would be tempted to say after her second child). I would also love it if there was a way to make a man who fathers numerous children with numerous mothers, but I think that would be almost impossible (or at least very difficult) to enforce. Imo, it is terrible that it is the women and children who suffer from reckless sex, while the men are often allowed to just walk away.

The women do suffer, as stated in your last paragraph. The right wing wants to force them to have the births.
