- What is California Proposition 1? Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about how it impacts mental health services and tackles homelessness. READ MORE HERE: abc7.com/california-what-is-p...
I am a native California Vietnam era veteran. The 2024 CA Proposition 1 is 67.5 pages of a needlessly tedious and convoluted crock of legal jargon. I believe it would line the pockets of developers and administrators and do very little to help veterans or any of the other categories of people who make up California's homeless population. As far as veterans are concerned, the US Veterans Administration has responsibility for veterans who suffer from service related health problems. They are not the responsibility of the states, except to apply pressure on the VA to do its job. I suggest a NO vote on prop.1 to save $6 billion for California taxpayers.
🎯
Because it will be more of the same- replacing the $10B MHSA failure.
@@petersonlafollette3521 Yep!
Look at the special interests behind the this Ballot Initiative who are bribing Newscum and the Democrats in the Legislature. The Governor is lying in his Television/ Internet Commercials. We didn't have this homeless problem in the 1970s/ 80s/ 90s/ 2000s/ 2010s, etc. until all of the Democrat Welfare State programs and Homeless Programs/ Policies which promoted drug use/ abuse and then homeless people from all over America migrated to California.
Thanks for the update. I needed reassurance that this was just another stupid CA policy trap. Vote No to prop 1 🚫🚫
Sounds like another tax.
Not doing anything isn't free either.
Bunch of lies. They always say that but nothing gets done
It’d be nice if they proposed a ballot to assist people who actually work their ass off and can barely make it in this state
You are privileged
Sorry, our system rewards/enables losers. Everyone else pays for it.
@@mrimirnzyes-illegals work under the table, don’t pay taxes, and also get free healthcare because they work under the table and appear to have no income. What a scam.
Yep
I have to do with your city mayor and the city officials there. They're the ones that raise up your rent. You're stating government has nothing to do with it and on top of that they always put everybody's property taxes to the rich district. So maybe you really need to step up your game and really look into that
6bn dollars..? How well did the last 20bn work in the last 7 years? This is a huge scam if you can’t see
Turns my stomach to hear the governor selling this in a way that is misleading.
There is no mention that veterans make up less than 6 percent of the homeless population in the state.
We all know this funding will never be used in the manner in which it is meant to be.
Thank you as a disabled veteran it is false narrative he is using veterans to make his donors richer just ridiculous
So you don't even want to help veterans. Sick fascist
What happened to the other millions of dollars from the other years???? This is not a new issue, money being filtered to politicians friend's and families non profits... that's it.
You mean like the passed 2018 proposition 2 that authorized the state to use revenue from millionaire's tax for $2 billion in bonds for homelessness prevention housing?
This will do nothing.
It will accomplish exactly the opposite of what was sold to the voter.
@@paulk9985I voted for it
@@kbanghart Ignorance is abundant in CA.
@@paulk9985 for sure, conservative Californians are weird
Vote no because LA once had 1 billion dollar to go to homelessness and completely wasted it on administrative cost. Plus you as taxpayers are paying for it. Its better if you go out to help the homeless yourselves rather than relying on government officials to do it.
🎯
So wouldn't that be an argument for the state to take that funding and use it more effectively than the county?
@@Mrjonnyjonjon123 No its not because all the tax money will go into the hands of 1-2 people. And they will have full jurisdiction on how to use your money and that leads to wasteful spending and inefficiency. It is better if the people are not taxed more so that they can decide on how to help their community if that is what they want to do.
Like prop 6 went to fixing all the roads and bridges they said were going fall apart any second! Don't be fooled! Just another money grab!!!
@@timbucktoo1663I voted for it ❤❤❤❤
Only if the administrators don't pocket the money.
nothing but a cash grab, the people that needed don't get squat, it's the same story every time.
By the way, The veterans Home in Napa County has about 500 open rooms. They refused to fill them. I would ask yourself when the state of California tax us more to fix the roads and maintain all of our roads, did the money get spent there. in the bay area, they ratchet up the bridge to annually. Where is that money going? Peoples private problems are not an issue for the taxpayer to have to solve.
Another tax. Remember, they already spend over $1billion a year and the problem gets worse.
I will not vote for anymore propositions by Newsom that will make me pay yet more freakn taxes I’m sick of it!
Make people responsible again. How do we all of a sudden need so much money for these people? This state has thrown money at the problem and that hasn’t fixed the issues. It keeps getting worse. Our current system enables this behavior and creating a generation of bums.
RepubliCONS use this against California but most homeless junkies are from red states 😮
Yup, they can throw $50 billion at the problem and nothing will change. These people don’t want the help- and why would they when they can live their lives as drugged out fools with no repercussions?
@@trey8543The drug problem is intentional for 3 reasons. 1 depopulation 2. Demeaning the spirit of our country 3 making already rich people even richer. You can't solve a problem if you don't even know what it is!
Giving money to the local government to combat homelessness is not working either.
Bass is a duddd, where's all that money gone ? To worthless politicians 😅
Because it’s not about money it’s about an inability to take down tent cities because the CA Supreme Court said that’s unconstitutional to forcibly remove someone like that. We need to make it clear that if you are homeless your tent will not be in the middle of downtown and if you are using drugs you will be arrested and forced into rehab.
@@1984isnotamanualforced into rehab hahahaha
@@1984isnotamanualForcing people anywhere is unconstitutional. What the heck is wrong with you? Maybe people against freedom should be locked up? People addicted to drugs are victims of our own governments failed policies. The powers that shouldn't be threw those folks away like trash. They aren't trash they are human beings!
@@carrierichardson6619 which is why they need to be forced into rehab. I’m an addict. I know what they are going through, they aren’t victims of the government, they are victims of drug addiction and horrible parenting.
This isn’t a State issue. It’s a countrywide issue. which means the federal government should be proving aid, rather than California footing the bill.
The Constitution wasn't written that way. Federal government is literally only responsible for national security! Go read it & the federalist & anti federalist papers. They never wanted citizens to be taxed the way we are. We are considered non entities & are owned by the corporation of the US. That means owned by the failed Federal reserve!
Anything w Newsome on I’m voting NO
Approx 11k actual in-patient bed facilities, and 26k out-patient slots, which I'm going to assume is nothing more than the administrative capability to place the 26k patients on a calendar for treatment. Hiring and training of 65k mental health workers...... I'm thinking that like most Bills, the majority of funding will go to expanding the govt footprint and employee compensation. With what happens to remain after, going to those who its proposed to be for.
This is the 10th times similar bills has passed!!
Nothing has changed !
What did they do with all the money ?
So vote NO!
@@nickphang2293I voted yes 😁😁😁
@kbanghart You voted for Biden too right?
@@carrierichardson6619 yes
over 6 billion dollar to help tackle the homeless problem here in California will absolutely do nothing sooner or later when the money runs out their will be more people living on the streets
Almost got me but anything with Newsome endorsing it has got to be bad for California
Each state won money from Purdue, and multiple nation wide pharmacies. None of that money went to children who lost parent or moms and dads whose child dies. The few letters I read from 4 states said money will be allocated for treatment addiction, etoh and homeless. Prevention programs and education. I wonder if they have to account for money or sneak it😊
No that is why they use veterans without any regard for veterans
Los Angeles already ALLEGEDLY allocates MILLIONS of dollars ANNUALLY for these same issues, and the homelessness situation has gotten larger and gotten worse. You can't just keep throwing tax payer money at this issue.
First off, where is this money ACTUALLY going and who is ensuring that it is properly allocated? Because if it's anything like it currently is, all of that will go back to the county and state, with hardly any of those funds actually going towards housing and mental health.
The REAL ISSUE is that you can't force folks to get mental health treatment, to get drug treatment, or live someplace they don't want to. The MAJORITY of the perennial homeless population simply does not want to be housed or helped, or they simply aren't good candidates to be housed due to their mental health and drug issues... Which they aren't able/willing to address. It's not as easy as saying "Here's a room, live here".
And what's worse is that the people who ACTUALLY need assistance AND WANT assistance are the ones who can't actually get help from the county (unless you're a single mother).
There is SO MUCH red tape and bureaucracy surrounding the process that dealing with that WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY being homeless is too insurmountable an obstacle to overcome, which forces folks deeper into homelessness.
It's the failed red idiot states fentanyl meth bums that have invaded Cali
I actually am in favor of forced drug rehab I’d vote for that measure
@@karofarah6 BILLION/yr paid by taxpayers? Prop 1 cuts mental health spending by 30%. If the government wants to help Veterans why don’t they limit taxation on Veterans benefits? Also, this doesn’t not force rehab on people. This is made to line the pockets of Californian lawmakers. No more taxes from me.
@@mamatried528i voted yes ❤❤❤
I'm glad you managed to find 3 minutes to talk about it. Local news is so informative 🤦
Give those billions to employers to compensate them to pay living wages to American citizens and especially veterans.
How about those who WORK???
The Youth Mental Health field is scrambling to figure out which programs they will hold on to in the event that prop 1 passes because the proposition will be funded by a 30% cut across the board in public mental health funding. People under 18 are seeing a massive rise in mental health crises in the wake of the pandemic, and the state doesn't have enough therapists, psychiatrists, and social workers to treat young people in need right now. Depending on which part of Los Angeles a public school is in, there can be a 1 to 6 month waiting list for youth mental health treatment, and if prop 1 passes, that will only get worse. Please don't cut 1/3rd of public mental health treatment just to hand the money over to bureaucrats and developers. The budgets for social services are stretched thin to begin with, and this money isn't going to help unhoused people, it's just going to fatten the same developers who have consistently underdelivered on public housing contracts.
🎯
I don't support , I've supported and the money disappeared.
Community service
Lower city employee salaries
Give the bond money to Mr. Beast. He can solve it. Politicians will launder it.
Did they take a survey on those people if they really want help?- That's a fair question. Now the state has control of these funds and did you get that bit where they are not responsible as well?
Those people the don’t want help!!
And if they do want help they will sign up for it !
Unfortunately we can’t force them to do anything! So vote NO!
I can’t be taxed anymore, so no way would I say yes to this. California needs to learn that peoples private problems are theirs and theirs alone. If we say yes to another tax increase in this state, the middle-class it’s hanging on by their fingertips right now will be forced to leave. If California California passes this, the homeless people in the entire nation will descend on us. Those of us that remain will get the shit taxed out of us, so that we’re in the position of needing government help to keep a roof over our heads.
sounds like governor kickback has got himself another golden goose...
vetoed the state housing project, but this and the subdivided housing bill are endorsed.
The issue is not that we don't want to help others, it's that Californians no longer trust that these funds will make any positive changes. History has shown that the more funding these programs receive, the worse the problem has gotten. Idk what the solution is, but I know a vote YES will not solve the issue of human suffering. People need purpose more than they need big pharma to intervene which is a majority of mental health care in this state
If they can help illegals with a proposition or vote, why can't they help the homeless and veterans. Vote No on this and demand your representative to put us first before illegals.
So Gavin Newsom is asking us Californians to vote Yes on Proposition 1???
But if I remember like two or three years ago he gave like $1,500 per month to each illegal immigrant without any proposition to vote for. He just gave the money to them.
How come Gavin Newsom can't just do the same for the veterans without us voting for a proposition??
To me, this is like a way not to support or help veterans.
Once again the monies will mostly go to mental health which usually does Not Go To The Homeless!!! Vote No On Ballott One!!!
yea they've spent money before for housing and ended up spending money only to have facilities go unused. not sure how this will be different or how they'll vet the companies they give money to to build housing so that the building companies won't just make money for project that will go unused.
No way Newsom, it's way too vague.
How effective was the successful 2018 Proposition 2 that authorizes state to use revenue from millionaire's tax for $2 billion in bonds for homelessness prevention housing?
mandatory and even forcefully?
I'll save you 3 minutes.
Your paycheck gets smaller so politicians can get a vacation home.
Newsom had his eye on that gas tax for a long time now hope he doesn’t pocket it for himself n the newspapers to hush where the money went
PROP 1 IS A LIE!!! THE DEVELOPERS BENEFIT😅😅😅😅😅
They should be a prop that allows people who don’t want to comply with such things as meds and supervision and should be kept a option … let them camp at the beach or remotely deserted areas away from the city… People have the right to be free and deserve freedom from cruel mental health system… We the people deserve freedom from paying any type of taxes to a government that doesn’t need our money at all… Amen 🙏
Steal from the taxpayer, don't hold homeless people accountable. If money solved issues California government would have nothing to solve. The police, courts, and prisions are the solution.
What if they don’t want the help like most of the homeless?
The guy throwing stuff at the camera really swings a vote
Billion for vets I like it.. better then multi billions for people who don’t belong here
Most of the violent junkies bums are from red states..they are magas problems 😅
No on Prop 1. If California Government wanted to help Vets, they would stop taxing the Veterans Benefits!! They won’t.
Yea..........this is tossing money into a black hole......
I NEED to KNOW that money will actually be spent for this ! becuz I dont trust this state one single IOTA
Like the recycling slush fund lawmakers use as their own piggy bank
I think people who can afford to take care of themselves and their families should be happy to have our taxes go to supporting those who need it. However I’m reluctant to trust that these funds wouldn’t just get wasted along the way as they have done so before.
"6% of homeless are veterans" ...ok, what percent of the general population are veterans?
building free rehabilitation centers for the homeless would be a better solution,
free mental health counseling for everyone as well, let's be honest not every homeless person wants to get out of the streets and that is the big issue. giving them free shelters and housing won't solve this issue.
it is a big no for me at this time they need to propose something more substantial for the community.
Here's a thought. Arrest people for crimes. Open up mental asylums. Hold people accountable. You don't need $$ for that.
Nah, they rather spend billions of dollar on defense spending and sending it to Ukraine instead on the welfare of the american people like health care and so on.
Problem with a lot of the homeless, is they don't want to follow rules that civilized society does: stay sober, take responsibility, pay rent, etc. They like living without rules or responsibility.
That's why they need to reopen the mental institutions and forced those who cannot care for themselves back in with a third party transparency group that makes sure institutions aren't abusing the ill. Only then can we start seeing improvements to our community.
Bunch of liars. Even the reporter said that no one knows exactly where the money would go!!!!
I think this is WONDERFUL! Mental health care used to be in the hands the state. I see this really working.
@melaniexoxo dunno if you're joking or if you bumped your head. Can you please explain from your own experience how this would help/work. A lot of these drug ADDICTS will not recover, only a miniscule percentage will help. The drugs supplied to these addicts are far stronger than old drugs. Homeless hate living with other homeless because of addiction or violent tendencies of addicts or mental health citizens. THIS WOULD BE MONEY IN THE WRONG HANDS. But then again, even those who hold the monies in the city or counties, almost always is MISHANDLED, no difference.
Everyone is out for themselves.
This is a scam!
It’s been done many times before !
Still nothing has changed!
Throw more money in the dumpster fire? I am gonna say no....
Vote No on Proposition 1
It’s so disgusting to hear our governor sell this as being for veterans, when it actually says 6% will go for veterans, and probably half that will be administrative!
They keep doing every 5 years , we passed it and nothing gets done !!
Same old sheeeet every time !!
It’s been like this over 30 years now !!!
Where’s the money went toooo??????
The problem here is what prevents ppl from other states to come to California and avail of the services
I can’t do this with a legislature that isn’t responsible.
Mandatory Drug Tests for CAAP Recipients?
I'm all for housing the homeless but the mental health part is a bit iffy.
This a scam/kickbacks for the govt people’s
"Labor camps is the best treatment"
Why are the taxpayers on the hook for these services supposedly for veterans? The federal government should be held accountable, because that is where they got damaged, in service to the federal military!
Like the 500 million blown on DEI initiatives. Take it out of your own pocket Newsom. Maybe then you'll try spending it wisely.
Aren’t we ralready paying for housing homeless? Someone is pocking money. Politicians and programs should be audit.
Nobody is talking about that it takes money from existing programs
Anyone homeless when we've had the best economy for the past 15 years has no excuse. Don't waste any more money on people who will always be homeless.
They’ve been getting funds to tackle homelessness but nothing has changed
The money should have been spent on freeways and highways and Roads to keep America working
Separate the ones that want help from the ones that don't. The ones that don't will be given the North Korean prisoner treatment
We pick up stray dogs, place them in shelters, and try to find them homes.
But, the public takes issue with humans. SMH
Because most dogs are better than most humans- especially you
Actually no, they get euthanized and only a few get adopted. This applies to cats, rabbits, hamsters etc
I think that the average pet does as much for the average person as a mental health professional. And maybe a lot more I support taking care of stray and homeless animals I'm not really interested in helping homeless people unless I can keep them from being in that status once they get into it I'm not sure I can help
@@Paul-gh9kyplease don't forget cats
Anyone who voted for this deserves to have to pay for it and you're going to pay for it
This should’ve been done all these years. Sounds like a bunch of bull crap to get more money from us.
There is no money to solve local problems. But billions for Nasa to do mars exploration 😂
educate yourself (if that's even possible). most of the money goes to local problems and is wasted. 0.3% of the budget goes to nasa. that's a really small number... for those of you who never finished school (elementary or otherwise)
You complain about NASA actually advancing science when we spend far more on foreign nations and wars?
@@Tallacus or how about illegals getting free health insurance estimated to cost California taxpayers between 2.5 to 3.0 billion dollars/year
thats a horrible way of thinking. at the end of the day, were humans, were innately meant to be pioneers and discover the world (now universe). were advancing in tech, but science and space exploration are a different kind of advancement that humans simply cant abandon.
This is an insane amount of money that we don't have you can't keep spending money you don't have
Newsom also supported prop 47.
Anything he is for, I am against.
Bonds are played back by the people in taxes.
Bonds always means the people pay for it.
Building mental health facilities? Mental health solutions are not in us paying more $$$ pple. Wake up! The mental health crisis needs actual human intervention, not more monetary intervention.
Not that I'm a millionaire but this also taxes anyone with over one million dollars 1% of there net worth. For someone like say elon musk that's about 3.4 billion dollars alone. Just from him. So what happens to the rest of the money?
Vote yes take more from the taxpayers. Vote no less tax. Not a hard decision. California doesn't know how to manage money. If only they had a good track record, but they dont.
Vote no for prop 1 because federal housing gave California 600 million dollars to house the homeless this month so why do we still need prop 1 so California could waste it on stuff US citizens don’t need.
We saw what happened the last time you got into the school systems. Our boys are wearing dresses now.
Why is it taking a prop to help? Hasn't the state been given tons of money and have done absolutely nothing with it? Like everyone is saying it's just another tax. Wasted at beat unfortunately.
6 billion is way too much maybe if it was 500 million to feed homeless people or provide clothing
The more Gavin Gruesome spends the worst homelessness gets
Sorry but prop 1 is cancelled by the us supreme Court
Holy shit this should have more views
Needs money for not high speed rail!!
VOTE NO ON PROP ONE!
We all love the idea of throwing more $ at a serious problem, sure, but not like this. It takes away $ from some of the existing services to set up new services. Yeah, that's a big "no." Who will be in charge of the new $? Probably someone who can't wait to buy their new yacht with your taxes.
I just wanted to be put in writing that this will be the end of California that amount of money can't be paid for there's not that much money how much is that per person a calculator doesn't even do that kind of math
We already the most taxes in the nation, and you want more?
This is the most amount of money that they've ever spent B paid for this is a financial disaster
Vote no on 1. We’ve already spent billions on homelessness in California.
The only thing this adds is more homelessness in the city of Los Angeles more crime go figure!
