Totally agree, but I think one of the big problems in California is that it now house like 25 % of all homeless in America. People are coming in from all over the country. I read LA will use $ 800 millions of taxpayers dollars on buying hotels and apartments for the homeless, so they are off the streets. That sounds like a crazy plan to me because these people need real help, but you can't take care of the whole countries problems. It's a sad mess.

@williampulley yes true, it should be a big collective national coordinated program that took this on. It's on a massive and complex scale that no city can handle alone because it would cost billions to give the right help.

They have to have high taxes in California because of their politics. Take LA where a $1.2 billion program intended to quickly build housing for Los Angeles’ sprawling homeless population is moving too slowly while costs are spiking, with one project under development expected to hit as much as $837,000 for each housing unit. It cost a fortune to help the homeless. Homeless encampments have spread into virtually every neighborhood, while the population has climbed to an estimated 41,000 people.

@jonaskessler326 thanks for your sharing and insight, sounds like the main points of the problem. It's terrible, but at least some make a nice pay on this shit situation 💩. I read somewhere that San Francisco has a 'Poop Patrol' to deal with its feces problem, and workers make more than $184,000 a year in salary and benefits. One man trash is another man's gold ✨️

@stevelouie5928 agree and its a very difficult process, some can be helped and some not.

Sadly it a downward spiral because California is the nr. 1 destination for homeless people across the country. It's estimated 160.000 are now in CA and LAs plan to spend over a billion dollars to fix some of the housing problems is but a drop in the ocean. You can just give people a hotel room and hope the whole problem of housing, drugs, food and mental illness is solved.
