You know zero. If I worked for a trash cleaning service yet there was trash everywhere on the street, I clearly don’t know anything about how to clean up trash. Same for you and the homeless. “I worked with homeless services in California.” Great job bucko.

The only real way of dealing with this is forcing people off the streets and into rehab. Nothing else works. Letting people get help themselves will never work. You’re going to have to force them. Literally go around town and round up the tents and place them in rehab for however long it takes.

This you will probably find revolting, being a soft toed individual such as yourself, but I find letting the people rot on the streets much more revolting.
and you clearly have no idea how drug rehabilitation/addiction works :mjlol:

then when they're off the drugs and out of rehab are they magically going to have jobs and houses to live in?

you have no solution either.

The posters who know literally nothing about the issue beyond their own agendas still won't stop the "I know the solution!" comments. :mjlol:

How is that "the only real way of dealing with this" when I've posted other proven ways of dealing with this?

Finland is on the way to eradicating homelessness across the country.





The Obama Administration massively reduced veteran homelessness from 2010-2016.





Here's four more examples:




I'm sure you have great examples of your technique working though?

You got me man, 15 years ago I failed to single-handedly stop the 2020s rise in homelessness in California. If only I had used my immense power more effectively, we'd be in a better spot right now.

Implement my solution and it will be virtually zero.

For those who think the issue is impossible to solve or that people just want to stay homeless, why not look at actual success stories?

Why would they do that when they can ego trip, lie to themselves and the public about their capability, and waste taxpayer money?

@itsyoung!! is pound for pound one of the dumbest people on this board. I don’t think that poster knows how to tie their own shoes.

@the cac mamba is a troll, and never says anything of substance. Just a right wing hot take machine.

You know this so I’m shocked ur surprised about it :heh:
It was just mind-blowing that I said, "California is better at the median" with a link to prove it right there, and they both replied, "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE?"

They are both too rock-headed to admit they were wrong, especially on a right-wing take, but at least they had the good sense this time to shut their asses up the moment their idiocy got fully exposed.
yeah, you provided a link that california may be better than 1 state. there's 50 states :mjlol: what the fukk is your point?

but i get it, you're both some of the worst democrat shills on the site

The study in that link says that there's 38 states with higher effective tax rates than California for the median taxpayer, though they shift to slightly above average when cost of living is factored in. You really never read jack shyt, do you?

This is the third time you've lied in the thread, and just I predicted, you know literally nothing about anything you talk about and you're incapable of admitting you're wrong.

Where is the money going exactly?

Let's look at the reasons people are homeless:
1. Physical or mental disability that can't be treated with medicine alone
2. A lack of subsidized housing


The state can dole out funds more effectively if these kind of conditions are met:

1. The city has cleared out some parking lots and invested a certain percentage of its budget on public transportation so people have a low cost travel alternative.
They can then use those funds they get to build subsidized housing on the spaces that used to be used for parking lots.

2. The local non profits put out a detailed breakdown of expenses and if their administrative expenses take up more than 20% of their budget they don't get anything. The money should he going to hire Frontline workers not give the ceo a raise and made up positions for his or her friends to pretend that they're working.

3. The city can get funds if it's police force is meeting certain state standards. A false charge can torpedo someone's entire career and life. If the police are overzealous and targeting people to meet their arrest quotas then those people end up getting detained, missing work, and then losing their jobs. If they can't make rent, they lose their home and now they're homeless and have a harder time getting back in the work force.

A lot of money needs to go into health care, and a lot of money needs to go to infrastructure and education. Design your city to be more walkable and you'll have less money being spent on gas and car payments and more space for affordable housing to be built. Put money into hospitals and integrated clinics where people can see a doctor, physiotherapist, counselor, etc. All in one spot. Put that money into facilities for the people who are beyond 'hard work' e.g. people with downe syndrome, severe disabilities, and addictions that can't be treated. Those kind of people just won't be able to hold down a job so they should go into a place where they're getting Healthcare instead of filling up the prisons and crowding the streets. When you arrest a homeless person, you're STILL paying for their food and shelter. You've created an incentive for people to commit crime so they can go somewhere where they'll sleep, get food, exercise, and most vital: access to Healthcare within the prison.

You're still putting them in institutions but you're putting them in the WRONG institutions.

you can wear you MAGA merch comfortably down there too

It's sad shyt but if I have a family I don't wanna worry about my wife making a Target run and running into bullshyt. I was at the Target in Pasadena yesterday, a fairly affluent area, had one homeless in there yelling and one laid out right in front tweaking. Getting hard to avoid that kind of shyt
