The solution is the 25 billion that was spent last year in California would buy 1/8th an acre and a tiny home for EVERY SINGLE HOMELESS PERSON IN AMERICA but no one would profit if you housed these people
@@stokesjoshua2007that’s not gonna happen. Our power grid can’t handle it, Cali had to keep AC off a year ago to not over load their state grid and that’s with majority gas cars still
Yep. I’ve lived here all my life and my work is here but I can’t afford to live in CA anymore. I bought in Nevada but my work won’t let me move so I’m still stuck renting here. With no rent control other than the shit CA considers RC I’m looking at another 8.9% rent hike in April and then I’m screwed but stuck due to the industry I work in.
its a racket for sure theres a reason why california is a welfare state as well as sanctuary state it keeps the money flowing from federal spigot that is our tax dollars to keep california going
I'll believe it when I see it. Been in California all my life and watched my state turned into an apocalyptic nightmare. The homeless industry complex makes too much money wasting taxpayers dollars and they never intended to actually help people
I lived in California most of my life. Homelessness has always been there, but never to the extent Newsome has normalized it. Why has he waited so long to finally remedy aid?
They waited for the businesses to be destroyed and the commercial real estate to collapse 50-90% so it could be bought up for pennies on the dollar. Mission accomplished.
@@genielove9067Or maybe because it's an election year and he wants to look good just like how he cleaned up San Francisco when president Xijin Ping came in, he admitted on live press that it was because of "the fancy guests"
Why would that work? Commercial real estate is worthless in a city that nobody wants to go to and right now they cant even give it away. Nobody wants to open a business or do business in california
I’m originally from San Diego & I went back home last year to visit. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES!!!! The downtown streets were FULL of tents! I was shocked and so sad. Seeing it on tv is NOTHING compared to seeing it in person
I'm from Oceanside, and I can tell you that the homeless plague is all over the county, you name a town and they are there. They leave a disgusting mess everywhere they go. I have family and friends from Florida who like to visit SD because of the climate, and it's embarrassing to see how shocked they appear when they're constantly seeing that mess. It's a downright shame.
I watched a clip today from Portland, Oregon. An independent audit found that although the homelessness problem increased, they spent $531M the deal with the crisis in 2023, but there is no record of where the money was spent.
It’s not all drugs, it’s insanely high rents. There are even people working full-time jobs who either can’t afford rent or choose to live in a tent because if they did pay rent it would take every penny they do make. The homeless tend to go where it’s warm because at least then they won’t freeze to death in the winter. You could relocate these people to a cheaper part of the country, but most of those areas get much colder.
It’s so case by case. Great point many are working two jobs and still can’t afford a 500 sq ft apartment. It’s become where you just go to work to give it all away whether it’s taxes, rent, reoccurring bills etc. then there’s nothing left to eat on. It’s oppressive. What’s the average PG&E cost to run a single story home even if you’re trying to be efficient? $250/month?
The state isnt doing anything they are just giving the power and the right to the cities to take care of their own local issues and the cities are not going to do anything. San Fran, Oakland, LA are not going to clean up the camps from their streets because they like it that way
The Mayor from Santa Monica said this morning that what Gavin Newsom is doing only applies to 'state owned' property, such as encampments along the freeways. What the SCOTUS did applies to the cities. The way he explained it is that the cities have the authority to address the issues, they just haven't developed a plan to set in motion yet. He also said that the homeless on a lot of occasions, do not accept the housing that is offered. They prefer to stay on the beach.
Yep that is absolutely correct but people are assuming things that are not going to happen. Thats what happens when they dont get the whole story before jumping to conclusions. Its still up to the cities and a lot of them just arent going to do anything different
Most of them dont want to get off the streets its the way of life they choose. No not all of them but most of them will not take the assistance when its offered because they dont want to conform to rules
they come to residential areas. at the end of my 8 unit row of apertments; in which i'm unit 8, is a wrought iron fence that separates the units from train tracks. there are multiple homeless owned dogs leashed the this fence. i almost never sleep. the dogs wake me up at least once per hour and neither police or animal freakin control will do anything but belittle me for complaining. i can't see what animal control even gets paid for. they all get paychecks for nothing.
I used to work construction. We built a house or large building relatively quickly once all the planning and stuff was finished. Any Mayor can quickly end crime when they want to. The opposite is also true. Individuals can quickly ruin a building if the city lets them. If a state keeps giving a Mayor money to fix homelessness, then he/she is never going to fix the homelessness. The Mayor has to be told that if the businesses don't make money, then the city won't get any tax revenue.
I wonder what it would take for the US to adopt a housing model like the UK. Just counting the homeless veterans, there are too many people living outside. Some choose to, but many don't. What people don't understand is starting from $0 at a shelter to being able to afford everything (phone, electric, rent, transportation, food, clothing, washer/dryer (most apartments now are coin op), etc.). Most shelters have a limited stay time well below the time to establish this. Also, imagine being crammed into a max capacity shelter where staff are poorly trained. Theft, drug use, violence, etc are usually common. And shelters need to keep beds full to maintain funding. There is a reason most shelters have a below 40% success rate on permanent housing. If you want to be shocked, look up shelter details, like food waste, operation costs, and other financials. Most shelters have to publicly publish their tax filings as they are non profit (supposedly). Follow the money. I look at shelters like I do jails. More beds full = more money, yet the problem still exists.
I agree that tents should not be allowed to be set up on city streets. But there should be something in place to house people that can't afford to pay rent. If the homeless just absolutely want to live in a tent, then there should be someplace, a field for example away from the city limits for them to set up their tent and live happily ever after. I don't think they should be able to set up anywhere within the city. If they want to live in an uncivilized manner, then they can do it away from civilization.
Whatever you think, those men will occupy space, eat, use the bathroom, and sleep. Zero choice - no character reflection at all - that WILL happen. So, ok, you "clean up encampments"... Then what? They will still be around, sleeping and such. You MUST provide an alternative. And your open disgust with the homeless is depressing.
When vagrancy was a crime you didnt see this happening. The homeless were discrete about their plight and fought their way back up. Now a days every time they go up one step 3 more are added so its pretty much futile. Those that arent addicts when they become homeless ultimately succumb to that lifestyle
Well,. all the homeless should just go move in the homes of rich. They're the ones who helped make them homeless by high taxes, regulations after regulations until people just could not afford to live.
@@jettzigirl1470 No, it's actually true. When the jobs wages don't keep up with the costs of living and taxes, it drives people into homelessness. If you cannot accept that reality, then you are not very bright.
Anyone that watches soft white underbelly can see that people refuse housing all the time because they do business or stay high outside and don’t *want* to go into housing.
Gavins plan apparently is to put 'em on cruise ships sent out to 'Hawaiian Islands'. Whilst somewhere out to see when they are in the pool, the bottom of the pool opens, and they get sucked out to sea. Apparently.
What has me losing my mind, is everyday getting asked for a cigarette, change, or blues every single day by these drug addicts(homeless) out here. Everyday for a couple years and you'll lose it and start catching charges for going off on them
"You don't want to walk by a homeless encampment with some illicit drug use" yeah, we've all done that multiple multiple times in the Bay Area or Sacramento where I work. And the business are already all gone in those areas, I don't think they're EVER coming back. Too late! WAAAAYYYYYY TOO LATE!
Yep its so sad. Used to love fleetweek at fishermans wharf... Crab sandwiches and the Blue Angels. Never again. Everything is gone now, never to return and I wont either... Ever...
As a person who spent 10 months of their life being homeless. We should give these people nothing except mental health and drug treatment. Majority of the people I was around being homeless had no interest in bettering themselves or their situation. Treatment or nothing.
@jcsynn4552 I totally agree, similar situation for me several years ago. Today every one of those i encountered while i was out there is dead, victims of their own lifestyle
@@jettzigirl1470 ok so the governor of California just ordered a state law to be enforced, and government officials are not going to carry out that order? Go back to sleep you obviously don’t understand how things get done🙄🤡
Tent city is on its way people!work hard and keep your job. do not be homeless, especially if you got a family and children, or single parent with children. what is tent city? it’s basically a new form of prison. Good luck everyone and god bless
I raced in the LA marathon and ill tell you what, the homless encampments are out of control and the city is enabling them with power, cell phones and portapotties. There was hypodermic needles on the street and just going to and from the airport i saw homless people pooping openly, and even having sex. Something needs to be done
I don't think a fine is cruel and unusual, but it's certainly stupid. I doubt any of them have the money to pay anyway, who is going to collect these funds, and who is stupid enough to think homeless would pay anyway? The best thing the government can do is to build more small and affordable spaces for these downtrodden people, get them set up with a skillset and a job they can do, give them support to get off whatever drugs they are on. and move them out of the small facility after the people are on their feet and can afford a bigger place.
Just curious. If someone doesn't pay their fine or appear in court, they have a warrant issued and get arrested right? If this is true, there are a lot of for profit prisons that will definitely be making some serious money. Does the government get any of this "revenue"? If they do, maybe that specific money could be put into creating tiny homes, mental health services, food banks and kitchens, shelters, and rehabilitation centers. Honestly not sure of the process and procedures for any of this, so I have absolutely no idea if this is even feasible, just some questions and possible solutions based on my wonderings.
@@iamkimishima I don't think it's feasible, even if we made homelesness a crime and racked up millions in unpaid fines then arrested all of them for not paying, where would we put them all? Are we going to force the homeless in to a prison filled with bank robbers and murderers, not to mention bogging down the justice system so every court case is about a homeless family not paying the fine they can't make money for. How many real criminals would be set loos to make room for all the homeless, or would we build a new homeless prison to house them?
You snowflakes dont get it... Most of these people dont want to get off the street, they dont want help, they dont want housing or a job they just want to be left alone to consume their choice of drugs and alcohol without any responsibility for anything. Not all but most of them
If they did bring back mental institutions they'd have to be regulated a lot more than in the past. There's an indoor encampment with basically private, lockable rooms but communal bathrooms in Minneapolis. They are still seeing some drug use and od's and near od's. There is staff always there that can administer narcan etc. It's run by a company that has services, case managers etc so access to drug and mental health issues are available.
Even if they moved the homeless doesn’t change the fact no one can afford the rent. Most of the businesses that have left around me left due to extreme rent hikes. They will just shuffle them around LA like they have since the early 2000s. I live in a suburb currently and the popo here just pick them up and drive them to a crappier area. This will be a mess 😂
Its NOT a California problem...it's a nation wide cost of living/affordable housing/addiction problem. If Minnesota had California's climate then that is where the problem would be. We'll just keep on being enslaved by the rich though. C'est la vie!!
@katstorm13 You're dillusional. Most of them are addicts and that includes booze. The ones that arent dont hang out in these encampments and you really dont see them because they still have their pride and their minds and go hide away in a less conspicuous place
I agree they should not be in commercial areas. However If they have billions of dollars to clean encampments they need to be able to fund housing vouchers for the people who are unhoused.
Hell no! Why should we pay to house addicts that refuse tk get help or go to work. Your liberal idea is what started and continues to fuel this problem. We didnt have this problem when they used to be abe to arrest people for vagrancy
the supreme court decided in Grants Pass v. Johnson that the 8th amendment only applies to the nature of punishment for a crime, I.E no you cant be thrown into a volcano but yes you can be charged a normal fine.
I live in the south and we've been seeing a big up tick in homeless and panhandling. I stopped and asked a few if they would come to work because who knows what happened and just needed a kind hand. No not a single 1 would come to work for my company. They just want free things. Stop giving them things. You are enabling their addiction. My uncle was an alcoholic that became homeless due to his alcoholism. These people need mental health care and aren't getting it. There's so much trash that gets left behind by a lot of them. It's disgusting I worry about others catching diseases from the trash and excretion left behind.
The biggest issue with the homeless is what to do with them? You could help some but not all. If you try to help them all you will violate their constitutional rights, or create laws that do the same thing.
People should look for housing for the homeless like apartment buildings that are abandoned by their owners the government could fix them up for the homeless get out for those who are on drugs or drinking, let the people that lost their homes by losing their jobs thier homes because the bank took them away are the people that were in the fires in the mountains think about it just because we don't have a roof over our heads does not mean we're not human beings.
Should been done sooner, people that have nowhere to go should be sent to a city that needs people for work so they can rebuild their lives, they dont need money, they need work
Most of them are lost causes and dont want help or especially a job. Theres so much work in california they could work if they wanted to but they dont want to. Not all of them but most of them
@@jettzigirl1470 I’m not making things up. I have direct knowledge. I learned about around 10 years ago when I was going to potentially move there for work on the island of Oahu. My wife and I did a lot of homework while we were on island. We ultimately we didn’t make the move. That wasn’t the deciding factor but it was part of decision making process. We spoke to a lot of the locals.
Ok but if theyre homeless where are they supposed to go if you take them off the streets? There's no solutions provided just more fines, They are all just going to move their tents somewhere else
Build them a tax exempt city! But make them pay utilities 50% and clean up at city paid minimum wage!!! And give them recycled water and sewage system.
Then you were in a different part of the city. San francisco is a mess. Poop, needles and homeless junkies laying on the sidewalks, some places the stench of urine is so bad it will gag you.
So I have a good idea we have Alcatraz just in the middle of the ocean not being used for anything. Why do we use it as a homeless encampment? Where they can Monitor and provide health services to them. This wa they are off the streets
this has been a long standing problem that for the most part not being dealt with, until now and i would say it is in part because it is an election year
@@jettzigirl1470 Nice of you to be so insulting, when, if you were more intelligent, you would KNOW what I'm talking about. And since you're being so rude, I don't feel obligated to explain it to you ... Look it up. 😁
They get offered over and over. They dont want shelter they just want to live the way they are living. They dont want to follow rules or comply with shelter requirements
@@jettzigirl1470 you answered your own question as to why that is. ive stayed in those shelters its little different than an open-air prison of course no one wants it. i said housing not warehousing.
Our rent went from 2800, to 3600 in one year. This is why san diego is fucking awful, last month here, ill miss the legal weed but the rest of the state can fucking burn for all i care, rich concentrated elite ruining life for everyone else.
Where are people supposed to be homeless? They should have designated areas where families can live in RVs and trailers. I’d actually love to live in a 5th wheel 😅
Theres a difference between families living in vehicles and rvs and junkies sprawling a homestead on the city sidewalk. I dont feel sorry for anyone who chooses not to try
The same way that America wants to stick immigrants on the bus back to where they came from California should do to the homeless and I guarantee you they will practically all be gone because none of them are from California. Of course there’s a handful of them, but they are all from other states they come here because this is the greatest state regardless of how expensive it is to live can’t beat the weather, mountains the beaches, the Hot Springs etc. not to mention that they do take advantage of California social services. but of course, this is America and as an American you can live anywhere you want California just has the dumb luck to be the place everybody wants to be.
You must not live here and we are glad. We dont need any more liberals fighting for the right to expose themselves while taking a crap on our sidewalks in front of our children
They need to ban Gavin Newsome from politics.
Banning Gavin would be better for the state than banning the homeless.
Amen
Root problem is how expensive it is to live in California. This is just a band-aid.

I doubt any of them have the money to pay anyway, who is going to collect these funds, and who is stupid enough to think homeless would pay anyway? The best thing the government can do is to build more small and affordable spaces for these downtrodden people, get them set up with a skillset and a job they can do, give them support to get off whatever drugs they are on. and move them out of the small facility after the people are on their feet and can afford a bigger place.
Its a joke bc they can barely feed themselves let alone pay fines 😢
Just curious. If someone doesn't pay their fine or appear in court, they have a warrant issued and get arrested right? If this is true, there are a lot of for profit prisons that will definitely be making some serious money. Does the government get any of this "revenue"? If they do, maybe that specific money could be put into creating tiny homes, mental health services, food banks and kitchens, shelters, and rehabilitation centers. Honestly not sure of the process and procedures for any of this, so I have absolutely no idea if this is even feasible, just some questions and possible solutions based on my wonderings.
@@iamkimishima I don't think it's feasible, even if we made homelesness a crime and racked up millions in unpaid fines then arrested all of them for not paying, where would we put them all? Are we going to force the homeless in to a prison filled with bank robbers and murderers, not to mention bogging down the justice system so every court case is about a homeless family not paying the fine they can't make money for. How many real criminals would be set loos to make room for all the homeless, or would we build a new homeless prison to house them?
You snowflakes dont get it... Most of these people dont want to get off the street, they dont want help, they dont want housing or a job they just want to be left alone to consume their choice of drugs and alcohol without any responsibility for anything. Not all but most of them
@@LoveFreak18 I don't disagree with you, was just honestly curious.
If they did bring back mental institutions they'd have to be regulated a lot more than in the past.
There's an indoor encampment with basically private, lockable rooms but communal bathrooms in Minneapolis. They are still seeing some drug use and od's and near od's. There is staff always there that can administer narcan etc.
It's run by a company that has services, case managers etc so access to drug and mental health issues are available.
Dudes trying to clean shit up and get moved into kuntmala’s vp or nominees spot
Just saying maybe they should have Winnie the Pooh visit again that seemed to clean things up
Election is around the corner folks!
Even if they moved the homeless doesn’t change the fact no one can afford the rent. Most of the businesses that have left around me left due to extreme rent hikes. They will just shuffle them around LA like they have since the early 2000s. I live in a suburb currently and the popo here just pick them up and drive them to a crappier area. This will be a mess 😂
Hes like a villan in a comic book
Ah America. The grandest of lies is her grandeur. How indomitable she would be if only we helped the twigs at her feet stand like pillars.
If I were homeless, I would want to live in the woods and away from the city.
End the use of Executive Orders!!!!!!! Follow existing laws or through the legislature create new laws. period.
Its NOT a California problem...it's a nation wide cost of living/affordable housing/addiction problem. If Minnesota had California's climate then that is where the problem would be. We'll just keep on being enslaved by the rich though. C'est la vie!!
How about they have nowhere to go? All homeless people are drug addicted , The homeless are human beings, too .
They always offer housing for them when cleaning out encampments. It’s part of the deal.
Not even half of homeless people are drug addicts.
@katstorm13
You're dillusional. Most of them are addicts and that includes booze. The ones that arent dont hang out in these encampments and you really dont see them because they still have their pride and their minds and go hide away in a less conspicuous place
OMG 180K HOMELESS, THEY NEED A PRESIDENT, WHO'S THE GOVERNOR?
California could have an endless amount of money and not fix the problem. It's too lucrative.
I agree they should not be in commercial areas. However If they have billions of dollars to clean encampments they need to be able to fund housing vouchers for the people who are unhoused.
Hell no! Why should we pay to house addicts that refuse tk get help or go to work. Your liberal idea is what started and continues to fuel this problem. We didnt have this problem when they used to be abe to arrest people for vagrancy
the supreme court decided in Grants Pass v. Johnson that the 8th amendment only applies to the nature of punishment for a crime, I.E no you cant be thrown into a volcano but yes you can be charged a normal fine.
I live in the south and we've been seeing a big up tick in homeless and panhandling. I stopped and asked a few if they would come to work because who knows what happened and just needed a kind hand. No not a single 1 would come to work for my company. They just want free things. Stop giving them things. You are enabling their addiction. My uncle was an alcoholic that became homeless due to his alcoholism. These people need mental health care and aren't getting it. There's so much trash that gets left behind by a lot of them. It's disgusting I worry about others catching diseases from the trash and excretion left behind.
Yep all they want is enough to get the next high and nothing else matters to them.
The biggest issue with the homeless is what to do with them? You could help some but not all. If you try to help them all you will violate their constitutional rights, or create laws that do the same thing.
The problem is most of them dont want help they choose to live the way they do and the liberal laws allow it
Cali is a dump
People should look for housing for the homeless like apartment buildings that are abandoned by their owners the government could fix them up for the homeless get out for those who are on drugs or drinking, let the people that lost their homes by losing their jobs thier homes because the bank took them away are the people that were in the fires in the mountains think about it just because we don't have a roof over our heads does not mean we're not human beings.
Homelessness goes once Newsom goes.
We need to take out a section (because it's empty) in Wyoming and make a new state called Homelessland.
Were they not just complaining about how Republicans were going to make homelessness illegal
Businesses need compassion
Should been done sooner, people that have nowhere to go should be sent to a city that needs people for work so they can rebuild their lives, they dont need money, they need work
Most of them are lost causes and dont want help or especially a job. Theres so much work in california they could work if they wanted to but they dont want to. Not all of them but most of them
1 million dollars.... lol.. Thats like the Austin Powers when Dr.Evil is like...."One million dollars.." and they all laugh cause its like.....nothing
They will fly them out to Hawaii. California has been doing it for years.
Really? Damn... I think being homeless in Hawaii would be better than living check to check in CT... I'm in my way
No they havent stop making shit up
@@jettzigirl1470 I’m not making things up. I have direct knowledge. I learned about around 10 years ago when I was going to potentially move there for work on the island of Oahu. My wife and I did a lot of homework while we were on island. We ultimately we didn’t make the move. That wasn’t the deciding factor but it was part of decision making process. We spoke to a lot of the locals.
It’s an election year, time to clean the streets 😂
Tell Gavin Newslum, Elon’s leaving. He’s a bit late.🤡🤡🤡🤡
Its not just about elon, all business are leaving. Big name companies are exitting at an alarming rate. Even hollyweird elites are leaving
Ok but if theyre homeless where are they supposed to go if you take them off the streets? There's no solutions provided just more fines, They are all just going to move their tents somewhere else
They never said they were taking them off the streets
Build them a tax exempt city! But make them pay utilities 50% and clean up at city paid minimum wage!!! And give them recycled water and sewage system.
Then you would have billionaire's pretending to be homeless so they don't have to pay taxes.
They will not work nor will they pay utilities or anything else. They choose to be homeless so they dont have to
Why is there something that people skip that you can buy a house that's worth millions don't pay your land taxes one year see what happens
Since The Gov'S Law Isn't "Gods Law"The Homeless Should Come For His Azz & Whatever Happens Happens Remember His Actions Caused It Namaste.😇👽🛸
Oh please go read a book or play a game
When I went to San Francisco I didn't see any homelessness.
You see it everywhere in Denver.
Then you were in a different part of the city. San francisco is a mess. Poop, needles and homeless junkies laying on the sidewalks, some places the stench of urine is so bad it will gag you.
So I have a good idea we have Alcatraz just in the middle of the ocean not being used for anything. Why do we use it as a homeless encampment? Where they can Monitor and provide health services to them. This wa they are off the streets
This is going to fail miserably. Such an American solution to social problems...
this has been a long standing problem that for the most part not being dealt with, until now and i would say it is in part because it is an election year
Its not being dealt with its just words nothing will get cleaned up except caltrans property along highways
You make a valid point but I think they should ban land taxes then maybe people wouldn't be I don't know homeless
Very very few people become homeless because of land taxes thats absurd.
He needs to give them a permanent address before the election!
Wth are you even talking about?
@@jettzigirl1470 Nice of you to be so insulting, when, if you were more intelligent, you would KNOW what I'm talking about. And since you're being so rude, I don't feel obligated to explain it to you ... Look it up. 😁
giving homeless people a place to stay solves homelessness.
They get offered over and over. They dont want shelter they just want to live the way they are living. They dont want to follow rules or comply with shelter requirements
@@jettzigirl1470 you answered your own question as to why that is. ive stayed in those shelters its little different than an open-air prison of course no one wants it. i said housing not warehousing.
I have a solution for the homeless epidemic and the hunger crises. Technically, homeless people are a renewable resource 👀
California: the have and have nots.
Could you imagine what Tupac would be rapping about if he were still alive?
Who cares? What will that so!ve
Our rent went from 2800, to 3600 in one year. This is why san diego is fucking awful, last month here, ill miss the legal weed but the rest of the state can fucking burn for all i care, rich concentrated elite ruining life for everyone else.
California rents can only increase 10% a year what are you talking about. Thats not even legal
@@jettzigirl1470 I know but it's legal with a 60 day notice isn't that just fun 😊
people are having kids for all the wrong reasons
Where are people supposed to be homeless? They should have designated areas where families can live in RVs and trailers. I’d actually love to live in a 5th wheel 😅
Theres a difference between families living in vehicles and rvs and junkies sprawling a homestead on the city sidewalk. I dont feel sorry for anyone who chooses not to try
They should ban being broke
Party of compassion huh? 😂
The same way that America wants to stick immigrants on the bus back to where they came from California should do to the homeless and I guarantee you they will practically all be gone because none of them are from California. Of course there’s a handful of them, but they are all from other states they come here because this is the greatest state regardless of how expensive it is to live can’t beat the weather, mountains the beaches, the Hot Springs etc. not to mention that they do take advantage of California social services. but of course, this is America and as an American you can live anywhere you want California just has the dumb luck to be the place everybody wants to be.
The homeless were moved off Venice Beach months ago my friend. Some of this is old footage.
Nope... Venice beach is still an ongoing problem they are just more on top of it now
I'm starting to think california shouldn't be allowed to change anything at all
You must not live here and we are glad. We dont need any more liberals fighting for the right to expose themselves while taking a crap on our sidewalks in front of our children
