Shows what idiots we have running things. They want people to do this. But the housing and eviction rules are so strict. You would get a crack addict or worse in you home or property. And no way to evict.
Liberals just seem to make things worse and no common sense. We already see how many have died from the defund the police. And how well it is working with areas they are allow to buy, sell and use drugs.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — As the Bay Area continues to struggle under the weight of its homelessness crisis, officials and nonprofits are asking local residents to do more than hand out meals or donate spare change. They’re asking them to open up their homes.
Nearly 30,000 people are unhoused in the five-county Bay Area, and there isn’t nearly enough room in the region’s existing affordable housing developments. To fill the gaps, service providers increasingly are recruiting private landlords to take in homeless tenants. Some property owners are renting out entire units in exchange for agreements that the government or a nonprofit will cover the rent. Others are offering up spare bedrooms in their homes – sometimes in exchange for a small stipend, and sometimes as a purely charitable act.
But it’s hard to find owners willing to take a chance on someone down on their luck. At least one program recently ended because of a lack of landlord interest . . . "

Nor should they. Agreed, the idea as presented is almost stupid.
However... something entirely reasonable and appropriate is very close to it.
Those who have some space available really SHOULD bring in a "boarder" of some sort;
the sort with a job and some history in the area and all the other "nice" things.
If a 1000 homeowners were able to do this...
then the 1000 lesser places those "boarders" used to live in become available to someone.
And so forth.
Oh Nancy, hello, certainly Ms. Pelosi has some spare space for a down on their luck crackhead or two. She has a freezer full of designer ice cream to share too.
Imagine putting everything in your home at risk of being destroyed (including your own lives), stolen, broken or soiled. Homelessness is an issue but in the simplest of categorizations, each homeless person is either incapable of having made the right choices, chooses not to make the right choices or has fallen prey to some malfeasant force that has forced them from their prior domicile (so there are actual victims among the rest).
Each of these types require a different corrective path to obtain and maintain a safe living space and it's on the private and publicly funded institutions (as well as the homeless) to assess and put to action a plan to right the current situation.
They are helping out the homeless. People are always giving the homeless loose change hanging around. Bless their darling hearts. They are not using the dollar bill any time soon, I'll recognize that as something. They have been given a reward. Dollar something in loose change. Well done citizens of California. And I'm not kidding. Most people would run them over. If they get in the way. Or express annoyance towards the poor.
Excellent idea. The folks that are in such a hurry to spend other folks money and hand out free stuff should certainly take these folks in, help them get on their feet, and give them a better life.
