These people have to reside somewhere, but it is interesting how Democrats go on about rights and this fairy tale existance people are going to have if people vote Democratic.
The reality in a majority of Democratic city is quite different. Most of them in reality disorganized with no sense of community. Most Democratic cities have tremendous income disparities and extreme amounts of people falling through the cracks of society.
Hey, if I was a homeless bum, Venice Beach would probably be on my Top 10 places to live, no need to shell out $5 million+ for beachfront property when I can live in a tent and some cardboard boxes and get the same view, just sayin'!
Did you look at the video? What do you think of a new skid row at Venice beach? Looks very "progressive".
Took a glance, ya, I was initially going by the thread title.
Homeless issue is decades in the making, since Reagan. But it was a bipartisan decision to shut down the hospital’s without any alternative solution for the mentally ill.
Followed by how cities like LA are built.
There’s no clean cut way to fix this.
I think the solution could be is help those that wanna get help.
That’s a percentage off the streets. Next is the ones who either won’t or can’t. That’s another story all together.

As housing prices rise, homeless population increases.
There were homeless around 50 years ago but it is nothing like today and housing prices were a fraction of what they are today.
If housing prices increase even more with stagnant wages, expect it to increase even more.
I don't think people should be allowed to sleep on the streets, because it's public property and that ruins it for everyone else. I'm a Democrat who wants some sort of rehab or psychiatric housing for these people, even if they only get to live in one room of a group home.
And we have Republican cities that are a mess too. A Democratic city is Boston and it's thriving. Go to places in the South where so many people are poor and deprived, visit Appalachia--Republican territory. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana--are those people living well?
So this is how you make light of the tragedy of human need and suffering?
Got it.
