1. The only reason they’re “cracking down” is a video of the true scale of the problem went viral earlier this year. Otherwise they were perfectly content with the situation. Which is utterly revealing about Democrats so-called concern for the poor.

2. One thing you have to say about many Californians on this, they put their money where there mouth is.
   While they demand America allow itself to be overrun by freeloading outsiders looking for a comfy lifestyle, at least they are busily destroying their own quality of life with the exact same philosophy.

3. One minor niggle with your comment. Where and how Californians choose to live is appropriate to what you said. But one of their main complaints about President Trump’s economics is that they will no longer be able to 100% write off their state taxes when calculating their federal taxes.
   In other words, a Californian who pays $10,000 in state taxes pays $10,000 less in federal taxes, so that portion of the federal government revenue has to come from elsewhere. This means that California gets their state taxes, and their share of the federal taxes, without contributing their share too the federal taxes. California is a tax sink-hole. And draining the swamp is going to make them pay their own way more.

4. I forgot the key tagline: yes, they are allowing themselves to be overrun, but they’re making the other states pay them to do it.

5. This could be called an American tragedy.
   Of course it is not limited to the US.
   Everywhere you go in Canada, North and South America, Europe, Asia, around the world, there are the homeless.
   This is a political football. The politicians love homelessness, it is where they call on their virtue, where they are going to help the homeless. Those that did not get elected yet are all ready to help the homeless as soon as they get elected.
   Homelessness is a human condition.
   Those that don’t want to be homeless, get up in the morning go find a job and go to work to pay for a place to stay and save to buy a place to live.
   Politicians will gladly tax others and beat their chest that they are helping. Yes they are helping the homeless to be homeless.
   Politicians have made it a permanent condition for so many people.
   That is a tragedy.
   What’s the solution?
   There is none.
   It is a permanent condition unless self wants to do something about it.
   You gotta hava will, wishful thinking is not going to do it.
   City councils, provincial politicians, federal politicians, they all have bombastic pronouncements about what are they going to do, how much money they are going to put into it.
   Mosey here how much money is wasted daily on meetings, well served lunches, drinks, of all kind of freeloaders to find a solution.
   Over the years it must be in the billions that the politicians, the academics, homeless industry and other hangers on have debated what to do.
   Never solved a damn thing.
   You can meet on the streets of Calgary, homeless engineer, geologist and others like that.
   Why?
   The only solution is within those that are in the homeless condition.
   It is a tragedy.

6. The politicians love homelessness, it is where they call on their virtue, where they are going to help the homeless.
   During the recession of the early 1980s, there was a joke about PET. He must have loved the unemployed because he helped create so many of them.
   Attitudes haven’t changed since then.

7. Poverty is an industry in Canada not unlike the abo industry. Poverty pimps abound awaiting their turn to serve in government
   10 years ago Red Deer AB decided to solve the homeless problem. Two 5 year plans were launched. The city fathers refuse to admit defeat but can provide scant evidence that they succeeded despite the vast sum of money spent.
