Originally posted by Boxfan83 View PostI have definitely noticed the homeless population grow in Southern Ca. Ive also noticed over the past decade its gotten deathly cold in the East, mid-east, & mid west. Our weather is a safe haven for most transients escaping the snow, rain, and other inclimate weather the rest of the USA has. Another thing is last election we passed a law releasing non-violent drug offenders from our prisons. Relieving over crowded prisons has filled freeway overpasses with tent cities. This is 1 of the main reasons why I said we need prison reform in this country. Most of the homeless are drug addicts with born mental health issues or drug induced mental health issues.
I know there are state and city funded programs to house homeless families in hotels, which costs billions of dollars each year. There has to be a better way to house, feed and clothe them while getting them off the government teet and back on their feet. Problem is, many of them don't want to get their shyt together. As you said, there are a lot of ex-cons and insane people roaming the streets that are likely beyond rehabilitation or help.
Maybe re-open mental institutions that are better regulated?

Here in Vegas I've never seen so many homeless people. This is the first warm climate place I've ever lived at besides Costa Rica & in CR you'd see like one cat sleeping by a overpass or under a random tree every few days maybe, but thats about it. San Jose, CR gots less of a homeless problem by a marathon distance then any big city in the US I bet or at least they handle the homeless people better there than here idk.
I almost stepped on a homeless cat outside of a Del Taco my 2nd week here they are so all over in random spots at all times of the day. Sh^t is nuts & I've definitely grown colder about homeless people cuz I see able body adults in presentable enough clothes every day holding up signs on corners vs going into places who got up help wanted signs everywhere.

Mayor brown had a competition to design a netter homeless cart. I had an awesome design with a fold out so homeless people could sleep, a compartment for a dog, mini soar panels and a Mimi electric heater for winter and a cooling fan for summer. It had bigger wheels that could lock in place.
It was awesome.

It’s so expensive here that naturally not all can afford. Interestingly the poor still choose to stay in Cali rather than move to a republican state. Lol.
