  1. Given that such a natural incentive exists, CA would be smart to create a disincentive to counter an influx from other states.

  2.  @kenw4930  those are the only 2 options, huh? Good to know ...

  3.  @brook_angel  nice strawman 👌

  4.  @markclayton8977  if all the homeless people in the US decide to move to CA because of the great weather, you think that it makes sense for CA to take the burden?

  5. Valid points

  6.  @brook_angel  lol, you seriously can't figure it out for yourself? Did either the OP or I say we want them to die elsewhere? -- which is what you posted.

  7. @brook_angel  there was no expectation of you being nice. It was merely a suggestion to enable you to communicate unambiguously. And you seem to lack comprehension skills. I did not say that homeless people should be put "somewhere else". I said quite the opposite: homeless from other states should not be a burden on CA.

  8. @brook_angel  I will repeat this from my last reply, since you obviously didn't grasp it the first time: the homeless from other states should not be a burden on CA

  9. 10:09 I was somewhat surprised that TX appears on the list

  10.  @brook_angel  now you're just reaching 🙄 Are you advocating that CA take all the homeless from the rest of the country?

  11.  @markclayton8977  pity you couldn't have said that to begin with instead of defaulting to adversarial mode.

  12. @brook_angel  if you toned down the snark, maybe your point would be somewhat discernible.

  13.  @xystem4701  sounds like a great idea. How do you intend to implement it?

  15. While that is true, CA needs to figure out a solution to this problem of becoming the homeless capital of the country.

  16. While that may be true, it wouldn't hurt to address the issues that are causing companies to leave. Losses of behemoths like Oracle, HP, Schwab are not something to ignore. Those losses are not only costly to the tax coffers, but costly to the employment market. And there is also the danger that a trickle will turn into a flood, at which time it will be too late to fix the problem.

  17.  @garydavidson6917  I'm curious: what is the state doing to address it? And what were the solutions that were implemented in previous decades?

  18.  @garydavidson6917  no need to be hostile. I politely asked to expound on what you claimed. However, your defensive response leads me to believe you were just riffing.

  19. California has some of the nation's best farmland, so your cockamamie, home-brewed theory falls flat on its face. Also, CA attracts the best minds from all over the world. More so than most states. So your theory that "the worst people interbred" also gets the door slammed in its face.

  20. Surely there something California can do to reverse that?

  22. @hypotheticalaxolotl  the weather is survivable only in CA?

  23. @hypotheticalaxolotl I don't recall saying you did. It's a question -- hence the "?" at the end.

  24. @cbbcbb6803  maybe take a look at HB1365 in Florida ...

  25. @brook_angel  you're either trolling, psychotic, or unable to comprehend what you read. Whichever it is, I will not keep repeating myself.

  26.  @somberjack  that's for the government to figure out

  27.  @AbsentMinded619  what are these "reasons"?

  28.  @brook_angel  if there is no way to disincentivize the homeless moving into CA from other states, then CA should get funding from the federal government to compensate for sheltering them. And all homeless should be sheltered. Camping on streets & public places should not be permitted by law.

  29.  @xystem4701  let's hear your solutions to the encampments

  30. @brook_angel  no, it's not a 180. It's just you not fully knowing my position yet trigger-happy jumping to conclusions -- up to & including your last reply. I'm not advocating for them to be punished. The combination of making it illegal to camp on public property, coupled with the availability of shelters, is the sensible course of public policy.

  31. @xystem4701  a voluminous diatribe on theoretical end results. Nothing on how to actually get there. Imagine my surprise. .

  32. @xystem4701  another empty post. Try again. This time answer the question.

  33. @xystem4701  more deflection. People like you only preach utopia without any road map or practical plan to actually get there. Maybe the faux outrage & virtue signaling make you feel better about yourselves.

  34. So explain why Red states are the biggest recipients of Federal funds.

  35. I thought that was West Virginia & Mississippi 😂
