BJG is pushing hard for the progressives. She's willing to tell the other two who live there that what they see and experience is wrong.
😅😅
So she's a neo liberal?
She's really rubbed me the wrong way this past week or so that she's been hosting. Can't believe I actually miss Ryan
@@ycombine1053 I feel the same. It looks like she might be here to stay though.
Thoughtful and pragmatic. This guy doesn't stand a chance.
No kidding. Especially in California.
Sad isnt it? He seems decent
Hey! Don't give up hope. It's possible. Will he win this year? Probably not. Will he win in 2026? Maybe so! 😁👍🏻
He's an independent too! might have to do a lil more research on him
too funny, but sadly true
Duh. Keep voting the same way and expect the same result. Not hard
Hopeless romantic, heh? Right down to your moniker. Keep pretending our votes and protests matter. Congress don’t care when donors have a plan and Big House ignores crowds protesting wars… we are a free-range plantation with open-carry as sorry excuse for security.
Basically
Look at California perfect example. I live here. One party system doesn’t work. That’s why lots of people are leaving.
@@nursejulie3636 unfortunately, many of them can’t connect the dots between what they continuously vote for and the consequences of those policies. Then they take those same policies with them to better areas that were already successful and turn them into where they came from. Just look at Austin TX.
I ended up homeless in Cali. Was on the street for about 6 months then got enough money to get out of there an i took off an never looked back. Doing so much better for that move.
Nice to hear a success story
Good luck hoping your future keeps getting brighter
I almost experienced the same, I was completely priced out, so the writing was on the wall. I was dealing with trauma issue which was completely destabilizing. So I packed up a Pod and returned to the Midwest. It took a while to put my life back together.
The lack of mental health services is a serious issue in most places. It shocking how its not understood in the present day.
Please, please, have Micheal Shellenberger on??? He has such great ideas and is running for governor of California.
That's who I'm voting for... I'm tired of these leftist who have really ruined California with their policies. I like that he is an independent with real solutions.
Commyfornia is a dead horse.. fraud will keep all Americans away.. the game is too rich to risk fairness.
Agreed, Shellenberger needs to win that race.
@@proper1323 what Leftists? Neoliberals are not leftist. Don't be an ignorant American.
This guy is way smart! Brianna has an absurd loyalty to the progressives in the Dem party. I love how this guy came back at her by pointing out the massive failures of the progressives in terms of doing anything meaningful!
Brihanna is by far the most partisan person to regularly appear on Rising, to the point I find her segments hard to watch sometimes. Her logic always starts with the conclusion she wants, and then takes very questionable routs to get there.
I will never get over how people in America think that people in the upper crust of the economy are "progressive," just because they've branded themselves that way. Just goes to show you that marketing is more important than reality in America.
@@intricatic well, there is some truth to it. A lot of progressive elites do campaign for extreme progressive programs. The catch is that they demand exceptions for themselves and their immediate communities. But they 100% expect everyone else to obey the regulations.
@@johngalardi What does it mean for a program to be 'progressive?'
@@intricatic an example is declaring housing to be a civil right. And California this is a perfect example. The communities that campaign hardest for guaranteed housing are also the ones that pass laws banning section 8 and homeless shelters within their geographical boundaries because they “interrupt the character of the community.”
Why is she asking about the right?? This guy is a Democrat
she can't handle being responsible
Lol i know him. Def not a democrat...
It's common leftist tactic. Take nothing they say in good faith. These people are demons.
This seems to be typical of how she deals with any situation where her side isn't clearly the "good guys". Make it somebody else's fault. Sadly, neither side has done anything about this
They say it in the question, if the left liberals are so bad in this, what is the right offering. Pretty simple question dude
Wanting to institutionalise the mentally ill isn't "criminalising poverty."
For sure the mentally ill have no tools if just given an opportunity. Many of them need direction. It isn't uppity or trampling rights to do what must be done with the mentally challenged who cannot take the steps they need .
There needs to be advocates though because some organizations actually use institutions to take care of problems. I have seen this more than once. Got a whistleblower? Institutionalize them against their will. Problem solved.
California, you have nobody to blame but yourself, same with that cesspool in New York.
Absolutely, it’s too bad that this guy is running for the national office of Mayor of Oakland. His goal of building “up local politics” is exposing his intent to not take local responsibility.
Agree, but other states send us their homeless as well. This is a national crisis. If California is taking this on as a state we need money from the nation..also to get these Dems out. I am voting for an independent Michael Shelberg. He has real solutions were these liberals have failed.
Yes they should pay for their buss tickets to leave for other states like some others like to do. Or just jail them right?
@@annri8248 do whatever, don't come to Kansas
Michael Shellenberger is on the right, and does have solutions to these problems, hope he wins in the fall
Why tf do you think Michael Shellenberger is on the right? I agree, he has solutions to this and other problems and they are all well thought out and good, but he is in no way, at all, right-leaning.
He's running as an independent and not sure what makes him on the right. He seems more left leaning but not willing to cave to ideology over actually doing something for people.
Michael Shellenberger worked for Soros supported organisations that helped push the policies that ultimately caused this problem. He seems right because his solutions don't coincide with the far left thoughts
Shellenberger isn't on the right- but I hope he wins too !!
He’s not on the right. He’s simply critical of absurdity, so they label him rather than counter argue.
We don't have a homeless problem, we have an open air drug market problem. I'm homeless in the Bay Area. I live with extended family. I can't afford housing here and I make too much for low income housing.
Where would you live if you didn’t have family or friends?
@@ocmetals4675 Several options. Walmart parking lots in a nice 5th wheel. BLM land in a 5th wheel. Purchase land in a rural area... in a nice 5th wheel.
Why stay in the bay area?
@@doom2avatar Work. Family. The usual.
So what they are saying is Progressive policies have the same effect on homelessness as they do on crime.
and schools, and business, and mental health, and physical health, and the list goes on…
I'm sorry but it's annoying how much "the right" is being brought up in regards to a CALIFORNIAN homeless issue when speaking to someone running in OAKLAND California. She asked him about leftists taking accountability for their strongholds, how does the right have anything to do with her question?
Agreed. So-called “progressives” love to scapegoat “the right” because they don’t have answers.
America has a drug and mental illness problem. Homelessness is a side effect of these problems.
The homelessness is so bad one of the mayoral candidates is homeless and living in an encampment. Dereck Soo is his name, check him out.
If that doesn’t scream late stage capitalism
yeah, if a guy can't keep his own life afloat, then I really don't want him making larger decisions that affect many.
That’s smart. He should get some mileage out of that.
One thing I like about this show is that no one seems firmly entrenched in their camp. Except Briahna sometimes can't let go. Brianha, its ok, your wing of the left is allowed to be wrong and imperfect. You don't need to get your shots in at the end every time.
Brianna isn’t a democrat lol she voted third party
Ya she just had to do a quick search to try and deflect the truth there right at the end
@@willmcquitter8985 she’s totally Democrat and it’s obvious beyond belief.
@@willmcquitter8985 who cares who she voted for. She spends an awful lot of time defending progressives no matter what they do.
But everything is rrrrraaaaaayyyyyyyyssssssssiiiiiiiiiissssssssssstttttttttttttt!!!!!!!
😆
There’s no problem that leftist ideology can’t make worse.
Ha!
Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, 40 hour work week, end of child labor were all results of leftist ideology and leftist pushes and work great and are super popular. State owned enterprises like the post office (single most popular institution in the country), Tennessee valley authority (Obama tried to privatize and Southern republicans stopped it because it’s so beloved), Amtrak, are all very popular and effective and clearly leftist.
Of course, why settle for just a "good crisis" if you can make it an even worse!?!
The issue isn’t “well this group actually wants to build houses for the homeless,” Seneca even addresses that point, they want individual housing with no strings attached. While that definitely solves the “homeless” part of the equation it doesn’t address what led them to become homeless initially. Now the “45% of homeless people have some degree of mental illness” are in a room by themselves. As undesirable as a homeless community may be, it is still a community and ending that for some sense that we’re morally right because at least now they have an apartment, certainly ends poorly.
A significant amount of transients won't even accept housing even if its available. Having worked with this population to an extent, some of them have a lot of paranoia due to mental health issues and don't want the constraints that come with housing. Its a mental health and addiction issue for the most part. Housing is definitely necessary though
I agree. The best thing is to build efficient housing that meets people's needs.
It's not a bright move. Take that thought past ground level. What stops someone from faking to get a free house? Biggest issue with progressives, they never take a idea past initial inception, thats why the fail so often.
There isnt housing anyway...so it is a mute point.
Just an idea... If something ain't working, MAKE A CHANGE.
Or double down and throw more money at it.
I respect that he runs Independent, not like "trying" to change the Democratic Party.
It's a frigging drug problem. When pharma bros get to pay a fine for killing Americans with opioides where are the fines going. We need to build rehab center possibly have some farms in the middle of nowhere to ship them to have them clean up and work for their food at a farm, makes them strong and healthy hopefully resistant to drugs. I love Briana but I live in CA and it's the drugs, the mental health often resulting from drugs!
I've been in Oakland for 32 years my family has been here for over 110 years. Homelessness isn't the biggest problem it's probably in the top 5. #1 VIOLENT CRIME #2 property theft #3 Admin corruption #4 dangerous road conditions #5 Homelessness. 4 and 5 could switch depending on if you are a driver or you take public transportation. Please address these issues in some manner and you can save this once great city that my grandparents told me yet I've never seen
homelessness causes violent crime and property theft. So the first 2 things you named are fueled by the 5th
What's wrong with the road conditions?
Yeah, but the homeless do many of those crimes. They also create a lawless atmosphere that helps facilitate other crime.
After living abroad, coming back to this should be an embarrassment for all political ideologies of these cities. Great nations do not just turn people with mental illness and drug problems out on the street to fend for themselves and think this is being progressive. State institutions are needed for treatment.
The issue that came up in the 70's was that it became "wrong" to forcibly institutionalize people. They had "rights", which they do, but they also obviously are not capable of making rational, safe decisions
@@rogerward801 It is a legitimate issue to regard human rights for the mentally ill, but Reagan really just used it to cut spending for the poor. In Germany there are both well established mental health services and well established human rights understanding for those receiving services. The problem is it costs more not less, because instead of cheap mental health institution facilities it is assisted living, private apartments with multiple attendants serving a vulnerable population.
Time for both parties to stop catering to their extremist and come back to commonsense. They will not do it.
Read the new book "San Fransicko" by Mark Schellenberg. He's running for Govenor.
Michael*
Shellenberg is full of hot air.
Loved Seneca's smile. Nobody can make a person laugh like Kim. Briahna just makes you cringe.
Sometimes when moving the homeless they are moving them into dangerous neighborhoods and when you have children the fear of a bullet coming through your windows are real.
Vote for Seneca Scott. He might make a difference for our homeless brethren.
Think of homelessness as a syndrome, rather than in terms of “what causes this,” a syndrome of several pathologies linked together: incumbent property owners use their property as a store of value. Housing cannot be both affordable, AND a store of value. Those with property want it to stay expensive. So they block increased housing supply. When housing becomes too expensive, they use their political power to tax people, so THEY, rather than a functional housing market, are “providing affordable housing.” LOL. I disagree that the Left has “good intentions.” In CA, the Left is overwhelmingly responsible for policies that reduce housing supply. While they control the property, which controls the value, and makes them rich. Hypocrisy of the worst kind. Unaffordable housing is a huge part of this.
Then there is intertwined mental illness and substance abuse. We have criminalized substance abuse (and mental illness, BTW, at least a third, and some say HALF, of all American prisoners are mentally ill), and it’s hard for people with criminal records to get housing assistance, or be able get into homeless shelters. Some people like this have dozens of arrests. That’s a legacy of TOUGH ON CRIME! Which is a trope that still gets people elected. The older drug addicts/mentally ill people who have been incarcerated all these years, who once got by through working in the criminal underworld, are getting old, can’t do that anymore, and are out of options. So they are homeless (and, yes, I work with the homeless as part of my job).
The “Left” is of no help whatsoever on the problem of over-incarceration. Three of the top DEMOCRATIC jobs in the nation are taken by abusive incarcerators: Joe Biden wrote the laws that made us an incarcerator outlier. K Harris made her political bones as a zealous incarcerator, and Eric Adams is literally a cop.
I’m not saying the Republicans are any better, far from it. But I’d rather take them, without the “base alloy” (as Lincoln said) of Leftist hypocrisy. Insufferable, morally preening, hypocrisy, at that.
Homelessness isn’t a housing issue, it’s a mental issue. And an enabling issue. Stop tolerating it.
Mental health and drug abuse, but yes.
Man, this guy seems sharp! And brave and bold. A solid American Man! 😁👍🏻
I'd like to sit down and talk to him for a few hours and just ask him as many niche and esoteric questions as possible just to see how he answers. Guys like this are _really_ fun to talk to.
You have to scroll to the very bottom of the landing page.
Once again Kim being 100% right about progressive left!
Scott needs to team up with Michael Shellenberger.
That guy gets it!!
I’m a conservative person but I like what Seneca had to say. I may not agree with everything he has to say but at least he has answers that sound like a solution. Please have him on again and give him a longer chance to state his platform and his proposals and how he will enact said proposals. Thank you
„That’s it?“ 🤣🤣🤣 just too real for tv 💯
It's deceptive to say that 45% of homeless people suffer from mental illness. The fact is those numbers are inflated by new definitions of mental illness. For example, the NIH classes drug addiction as a mental illness, and I think the vast majority of Americans would view this epidemic differently if we spoke honestly about what the problem is.
@wakaflaka What do you mean by deceptive? The speaker's point is the homeless encampment crisis is not just an affordable housing issue.
@@sololomonets-hokin9076 I’m remarking on Briahnas comment that it’s a difficult problem to solve because 45%homeless people suffer from mental illness.
Briahna seems to only care about defending her brand
As all "progressives" do. They are some of the most intolerant, divisive people there are.
That's what she always do that's a democratic state and it's been under them for the longest time but she's not going to talk bad about the Democrats
"Look to their neighbors and take a grassroots approach to local politics" IS the conservative/right wing approach to dealing with these types of problems. The lengths people will go through to avoid admitting they are wrong is impressive.
This guy sounds like corporate democrat...full of platitudes and no policy...no plan or budget to fix the problem.
The dissolution of the mental health system didn't occur under Reagan. It was a decades long process that then combined with the beginning of the war on drugs under Nixon in the 70s. But the real culprit is the destruction of community and family that began with industrialization and urbanization at the close of the 19th century.
It was too expensive to maintain. The U.S.A already has a significant number of people incarnated the equivalent. Outpatient is less expensive.
If you believe the economy is so great and will continue to grow there HAS to be low income housing for the working classes and poor or large cities will have to close many businesses due to a lack of employees...
I was just in the SF Bay Area Marin county, this is a serious problem, which the wealthy seem oblivious to. I mentioned the problems of capitalism to wealthy friends with the response “what’s wrong with capitalism!” I then tried to explain the complete obvious.
I realized through the conversation that there is a strange cognitive dissonance because in order for people to rationally think through it, it inevitably leads to taboo Marxist thoughts such as: if you can’t pay people enough to live then they will either go homeless or move out of the area completely and it will result in a low labor supply.
I think we ought to consider the possibility that not only does someone like Pelosi or other “not care” they might not even be able to comprehend basic realities.
The depth of this problem requires multiple solutions that cannot exclude a look at the systemic racism that exists in our medical, housing and educational institutions. Well said Seneca.
So, what does this guy offer as a solution? Lot’s of complaining but I didn’t hear any solutions
These cities deserve this.
Yes, homeless people deserve to be homeless /s
Take a fraction of the military budget and you can end poverty in America.
Wong. We have done that and are doing it , the results you know already
How to fix homeless.
1. Re-open mental institutions
2. Open more centers to help transition Homeless to working life
3. Force all homeless into either 1 or 2.
If they are mentally ill, help them. If they need help or guidance, help or guide them. However, there are heavy strings attached.
This is literally the only way but everyone is so afraid of their loved one or themselves being put in an institution. It's why they closed down in the first place.
you are assuming all homeless people do not have jobs or an income. We also need affordable housing that will accept people who have been homeless for a while. I have come across many on disability or social security and others who have jobs, but cannot find a place to rent.
@@sparrowgarden1401 Absolutely correct. My #1 and #2 would also include onsite housing.
To make housing affordable, you are now hitting a few different areas. One is zoning, two is competition.
@@sparrowgarden1401 stop enabling homeless people yo.. they need help, and pretending like it’s the system is your own issue. They are responsible for their own homelessness.
Does CA create homeless people or do homeless people flock to a generous welfare state? Do we see people coming to America because the welfare state is attractive compared to the leftist countries they are leaving? With over 50% of all the land in state of CA owned by the public, not in my neighborhood seems like a weak attack on the elites. The burbs and long commutes were a reaction to inner city problems. Many who can afford to move do so into communities with better schools, less crime, a more responsive smaller city government.
It's Big Business! CA/NY spend almost a BILLION!!!! Dollars a year. It's not going to to those who need it, that is clear. Also since the large majority are drug users they don't go in the housing because to be in housing you have to be clean. It's a major drug problem that's where you need to start.
Nobody talks about how CA is the best state to be even if you're homeless. Nobody really wants to leave! 😅
No one in their right mind would be homeless in a red state. They would just tell you to accept Jesus and let you die. 🥴
the california population is going down. people are leaving. being the best for homeless is a bad thing
Half of America’s unsheltered folks spent time in foster care. Homelessness is about lack of affordable housing. I’d challenge Kim to speak to someone with current experience of homelessness. Kim is leaving out a very relevant aspect of encampment support - there are REASONS encampment clearances don’t work and must be resisted. Alternative housing that is offered is refused because IT DOESN’T MEET THE NEEDS of those it is intended to house. Forced evictions are not a solution - dignified housing with supports and services that actually meet the needs of the unhoused community - not designed to suit the preferences of service providers alone IS a solution.
They dont want to move cuz they lose their connections with their drug dealers or they lose their customers for their drugs and if they refuse they should be taken into custody.l.
There are successful programs to address the root causes of homelessness. One in Boise is an organization that includes businesses, churches, and government to provide temporary shelter off the street and includes pathways for mental health treatment, substance abuse rehab, and jobs to restore direction and a sense of purpose in the lives of the lost. Moving from temporary shelter to more permanent housing can be earned through progress in these pathways. It is not a perfect solution and not a 100% solution but far better than abandoning the homeless to the streets which is the worst of all possible outcomes.
cant stand BJG. You can see her opinion written all over her face and whether she lives in an area or not it's clear her opinion is the only one worthy
I guarantee that if you can afford to live in Venice Beach, you are part of what's wrong with California elitism...
The title to this segment is misleading especially since the two hosts and the mayoral candidate all openly lean left. The reason why people who lean left disagree with one another comes down to the fact that leftist solutions require novel answers to the problem. The question come down to whether or not the solution will be effective and to what degree will it have an impact. The way I see it is progressives fall into two camps, Those who are familiar with the issues on the ground and those are well intentioned, what works vs. what sounds good. Every homeless person is different, and every homeless person's needs and issues they are dealing are different, but homelessness itself is not anything new. There are places in the world where homelessness has been nearly irradiated because there a a host of places, institutions, and programs that address the various needs of struggling individuals. Vienna, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian countries are all great examples that do not come at the cost of violating a struggling person's dignity. Do what is practical and what works and meet and engage with the people on the ground. I think the mayoral candidate understands this and its refreshing to hear.
So we should WASTE billions to fund the homeless industrial complex so progressive/Maoist like you can continue to use the homeless and mentally ill to spread chaos? I think many are starting to see you humanoids don't argue in good faith and are at the core communist degenerates.
It's so amazing how she tried to blame Republicans Brianna
Call them fascists before they call you fascists!
I like this guy. Getting my vote!
Homelessness will get even worse soon. Government is the problem
I believe the Forward party will do well in California partly because (ironically) it’s a one-party-state. More Republicans and/or right-leanings voters are leaving California for other states.
The Forward party would probably pick up the remaining republicans, a huge chunk of independents, and a sizable portion of Democrats.
If California has any hope the Forward party should be able campaign and pick up congressional/ local seats in the state, especially in heavy blue areas.
That would be a lovely outcome.
It isn’t just the big cities.
I wouldn't want to stop talking with these two ladies as well, so I don't blame him :) When it comes to the homeless, just get them off the streets. If they can live in a tent, I'm sure they can live in a tiny home, just pick up empty lots around the city and make small camps instead of having them all in one area and out in the elements. Cities like to take people's properties because of taxes or properties when people die or property because of drugs, take all of those and turn them into group homes. There are lots of ways to do this but politicians really don't care.
You GET it!!!
I love how the solution is give free housing. Rewarding bad behavior begets more bad behavior
Can we crowd source candidate Seneca a new microphone ? I definitely want to hear what he has to say.
That's the corporate centrist's and righting's fault.
I don't blame the homeless for not wanting the constraints . As they continue to move the goalposts!!
All I'm saying is that people in Red States are happier with their governance and don't tend to flee to Blue States...
Homelessness would go down if we stopped enabling it.
Excellent description of the desire of the general population wanting to help those in need, but only if it's my way. The not in my back yard mentality is one of the major driving forces behind homelessness I believe.
Homelessness is mainly a man's problem, so nobody has to do anything about it.
Kim is the best
Briahna resists on listening other's valid points. She sounds like she has the mentality of 'I want my team to win' not I want humanity to thrive..
Giving them homes. The most expesive, and fails because yhey want ro do drugs
Yet they still vote the same.
It is heartbreaking that street homeless encampments are open drugs markets brewing all sorts of crimes. Many will die from fentanyl overdose.
Build QUALITY psych wards that have lots of cameras and oversight. Don't give money to people to open psych wards for profit. They must be government run. Like a hospital with a mental health specialization.
Government run ? Are you kidding over half of elected officials should be in a mental institution
Government run is a problem these days. Especially, if it’s in blue strongholds. Too much corruption in the minds of the political class, the business class and the people allow conditions that are hugely expensive and dysfunctional while the voters either look the other way or blame someone else. Not suggesting that private would be a better option, because it’s the corruption of the entire system, that is the issue.
Private or public is irrelevant to the solution. It’s very important for certain groups politically to oppose private ownership, but it’s just a diversion from one possible solution for political ideology. Which is evil and corrupt, but it’s sold to politically ignorant people who are evil and corrupt like the political party selling it. That’s why it doesn’t matter private or public, unfortunately that’s what political parties do is make complicated problems seem so simple that it’s either ignorance or hatred racism evil that the issue isn’t solved. That’s what a increasingly uneducated population expects and that’s what they get.
Don’t blame ghosts , blame voters and start at home.
they interview that guy right after he got a tooth pulled or something 🤣
Seneca is deaf.
We need to limit housing to 1 property per resident, no corporate nor non resident ownership of single family homes in major counties. For homelessness, we need to already build 100,000 tiny homes outside of city limits with drug, mental health and job services, etc. Santa Monica has the issue that the police can’t touch the homeless, and therefore the issue increases along with the dangers to residents. There are great examples of tiny homes villages for people who are homeless. We just need to do it California style, and non religiously. We have plenty of land. Instead, our county of LA is buying super expensive buildings that will never solve the issue and just wastes money.
It is. I did a research paper on homelessness specifically in the bay area. It is a mixture of archaic zoning laws, NIMBY liberals, and honestly being too generous with their social programs. It's a perfect storm
I call it enabling
Yeah, I don’t think the rights idea of criminalizing homelessness is great, but I do agree we can’t allow public spaces to become homeless encampments. It negatively affects everyone, homeless included
We are not going to criminalize poverty they say and so criminality explodes and honorable people move out
Real dilemma. If you give "too much" to the homeless, won't more people just become homeless to get the free stuff. Free housing, free medical, free food, free clothing......people at the lower economic portion of the ladder will have a real question......why am I going through the struggle if I can get everything for free....
I don’t think that’s a very common outlook. I don’t know about you, but I live in a decent house. I’m not rich, but there’s no way I’d decide to leave, move myself and all my possessions into the streets, exposed to the elements for weeks, just to qualify for a free doctor’s checkup, free soup, a few t-shirts, etc. BTW, “free” medical just means a basic checkup, and maybe antibiotics or Tylenol, or basic first-aid supplies for injuries. They don’t give out free chemo, etc. I’m not into letting people put up tents all over the place either, but just wanted to point out that free stuff doesn’t mean high quality, doesn’t mean they get it on a consistent basis. A house means stability, safety, and lots of intangible benefits that people don’t easily give up.
I am not sure if the candidate has hair or bald
Facts
There was never any other outcome for California and then the rest of the country as a whole. "Out of many, one" ,ME. FU, THATS WHY
I said talk to the people on the street and see do you want housing or do you want to keep living this way. I became friends with the homeless guy he's about 5 years younger than me panhandle daily made more money doing that than he could at a job ended up getting housing but he said he liked living that way because he was protesting society's norms.
I feel like Portland has a pretty good model to begin with but it needs improvement. It helped me get clean and get off the streets but it doesn't work for people that have no hope for the future and no desire to become productive members of society. It basically provides housing in exchange for staying clean and going through a treatment program that approaches addiction as a mental health issue.
Kim...coming in with the voice of reason
Of course they are because their ideas are terrible.
What ever the cause is then address it. I’m sure it’s multi factorial. Pick the biggest contributing cause. Address it, reduce the numbers then pick the next one. Progressive ideas are always too broad, makes too little of a impact, results hard to see and the response is “we need more $”. Target 1 issue at a time, but it has to be focused with underlying cause not a bandaid
Ugh, frustrating to see. Cost of housing is the friggin answer. Realistic economic expectations from the poor. Let's fix that. I bet people would be a lot happier if their situation improves.
It's a super blown out ot if control scenario and that situation needs a major overhaul along with everything in this country.... empire in distress
I would suggest we take the homesless to the desert and let them be or give them the option to take meds and work for society in a community service capacity and supply shelter and food to them. They have a choice like the rest of us but living free in the neighborhoods we upkeep isnt left as an option.
Posturing Politicians want control that is what Government does it Govern Society as a whole. The more helpless Society is the easier it is to control.
They fleece the Tax payer , to try and feed themselves while seeking change . Then Blame the division between Parties to justify never delivering on the Lies that they never intended to deliver on.
Politicians are Public Servants ,that have turned into Public Pretender's.
The right does have answers. The simple fact that California has been voting for leftists for so many years without giving a conservative a "chance at bat" doesn't mean that they don't have any answers. The fact is that the LAW sound be upheld across the board and restricting drug sales and use would help the issue. Developing mental health systems would also be very beneficial as well as prosecution of violent criminals and thieves who loot stores.
So… the right wing answer is throw all of them in jail or a mental institution? Is that correct?

Knowing Brie is a lawyer, the way she argues makes a lot of sense. But I hope being on this show more actively will aid her ability to discuss with more nuance, rather than only seek to prove herself correct. Spot googling a counter-point, with no time to more fully research the validity of that point, then force ending the conversation on that point... I know she is capable of better than that, and I believe she would feel so too, if she doesn't already.
