@saltyandgreen A sizable minority of homeless people have jobs.

@panamafernandez4641 Not to mention the infuriating problem of NIMBYism. On top of that, homeless people drift to CA due to the weather, and other states are known to bus their homeless there.

@silversilver0 That's actually not what "karma" means.

@Bass_attack7755 That really, really depends. This is why there are organizations that rate charities, and it's why 501(c)3 entities have to make all of their finances transparent.

Not to mention the NIMBYs.

 @cowboyx9380 Not so. The curfews often make it impossible for homeless people to get jobs or keep the jobs they already have (a sizable minority of homeless people have jobs).

@MrJuvefrank NIMBYism.

@mipadill9234 What would Republicans do about it?

@Soma Persona That has nothing to do with it.

@Euragone68 CA is a victim of its own success. Thanks in large part to NIMBYism, there's a severe supply & demand problem. SF's own geography has a lot to do with it as well; there's no room to grow.

Look into the Unbreakable Umbrella. I'm an evangelist for it.

The headline reads like the homeless woman had a hose.

That's not the definition of insanity. Insanity means not knowing what's real and what isn't.

@DerrickW30 Stop shouting.

@22FordTough Asylums barely exist anymore. Deinstitutionalization began under Carter, but it was ramped up and finished under Reagan. Much of the country's homeless problem began then.

@vinylvishrecords Living down by the river is more feasible if one has a van. (I couldn't resist.)

@jeffreyzimler7978 Shortly before the pandemic hit, Newsom signed legislation making it easier to build ADUs (garage apartments and whatnot). The potential for that in L.A. is enormous. In the big picture, though, goddamn NIMBYs make it extremely difficult to construct affordable housing.

@firstlast8258 That has very little to do with it.

@yvonnelee4385 I think that we're talking past one another.

@yvonnelee4385 Would I be fine with proprietors spraying people with hoses? No, I wouldn't. It's a dire situation.
1
@yvonnelee4385 No, but that doesn't mean that I necessarily approve with certain actions in that regard.

@Tim.1113 That's not an answer.

@Zalis116 No.

@Zalis116 Come to think of it, I wouldn't put it past them.

@C4TC4T You have a problem with needle exchange? Do you want to see outbreaks of HIV and hepatitis? There's no way to stop the drug flow other than taking the money out of it by ending Prohibition. If it's that valuable, the product will find a way. I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding trespassing (are you referring to homeless people trespassing as they move around town?), and cops' jobs aren't exactly good (most of the time). The lack of mental health treatment is a big part of the problem, and the lack of affordable housing is another, and Republicans seem pretty hostile to both of those. Democrats are not much better, as usual.

"Sanctuary cities" have nothing to do with this.
