I wonder how much of the money is going to help the homeless. It's seems the politicians are the only ones benefiting from the money. They spend billions on illegal immigrants for housing, medical , and education. The American way has become f your own. It's time to hold them accountable. You have people in office over 80 years of age. They can't even stay awake during the sessions. They should be replaced. How many regular jobs let you work that long and give you a huge pension? They receive more for a pension than some citizens make in 3-5 years.
Lilith >>> During the interviews, the politicians were saying that the citizens did not want them in their neighborhoods. While in truth, they could have positioned the little dwellings in communities with centralized restrooms, kitchens and gardens. This concept has worked in other cities. But, when you have politicians using the funds elsewhere. Yet, the homeless communities in California seem to be growing. This leads America to uncover why California has excessive housing issues. I recently read there are areas in California with taxation in the 30% and above?
@@yellowroseoftexas2890 They're probably right about lots of citizens not wanting homeless communities in their neighbourhoods. Providing order, safety, sanitation and maintenance in those communities is going to be hell. The quality of life of ordinary people is going to suffer for proximity to these YIMBYtowns.
That homeless advocate is so obviously disconnected from the problem, her only 'solution' is to allow it to continue and fight everyone else's attempts. Unreal.
@@adamsee444 Government creates its own demand. first they cause the problem, then they propose how to stop the problem. It keeps the flow of stolen loot flowing that way.
I agree. The guy asked her about the owners of those homes and businesses having rights and she pushes it under the rug, just like all democrats. "We can have that conversation when we get there." We ARE there!
It's not the lack of housing that's causing homelessness. Just by shoveling them into housing without addressing why they're homeless in the first place will just result in the units getting trashed and destroyed.
This is so true. Some people do benefit from the “housing first” model, but the fact is that most people are homeless because they are drug addicts, refuse to hold a job, or constantly commit petty crimes and go in and out of jail. It’s a heartbreaking problem . I’ve worked with the homeless and there is no one size fits all solution. Most important, the person has to want to get out of their homelessness situation. The sad fact is that many people find it’s easier to take the free handouts than to work to earn their own living. We have to walk the very fine line between helping and enabling.
What it's because they are lazy? Lol did you know u.s didn't even have a homeless problem till Reagan? shelterforce.org/2004/05/01/reagans-legacy-homelessness-in-america/ And www.sfweekly.com/news/the-great-eliminator-how-ronald-reagan-made-homelessness-permanent/
Yes. It's almost like the usual government solution of throwing money at the problem doesn't work yet again. The reason why homeless doesn't improve is because this is a multi faceted issue that has no magic bullet solution. You would need housing, as well as mental health care, zero tolerance addiction care, criminalizing sidewalk living, and job requirements. These are all losing policy positions that need to be talked about, but uncomfortable to bring up.
@@fm5280 you mean you expect fast results for the problems that was created by lack of government control since the 80s? Mass homelessness, opioid crisis, and suicide rates didn't go up overnight. That is the exact result of neoliberalism and libertarian ideology that was imposed on us. I literally gave you examples of that ideology and yet you refuse to acknowledge it which shows how far neoliberalism ideology has been embedded into your brain.
mehrshadvr4 unfortunately freedom gives people the opportunity to make choices that are terrible for them. I know people who would be homeless if not for family members who are sacrificing everything for the abusive addicted family member who trashes the apartment that isn’t theirs and makes life a nightmare for those around them. Addiction and mental illness doesn’t get fixed just by giving someone free stuff and a roof over their head!
In California, it is all about helping the unions. Those permanent structures at $600,000 per unit are being built to provide jobs to unions labor. It has got nothing to do with solving the housing crisis, it's just mislabeling. Corruption runs deep.
I don't understand why you see unions as evil? In Finland (and Europe in general) we're very lucky to have strong worker unions that ensure everyone gets paid living wage and that they aren't mistreated at work or fired without proper cause. and having a stable well paying job creates stability that prevents homelessness... we have homeless in Finland, but they're few and it really takes a lot of effort from the person to become homeless. We help as much as we can anyone who is struggling so if you go homeless in Finland, you're really fucked up beyond any reasonable doubt.
I saw how a musician's decent units were take away by government because the specifications were against "regulations" - As you said, better than tents but not good enough so lets keep those poor people in tents - STUPIDITY!
I think it's because if a homeless hurt himself is these $1,200 house made by the governement, he can take the governement in court and have plenty of money at the end. So the governement won't take the risk if the specifications are against "regulations" because the responsability is their... This is sad, they traped themselves to not help people with the laws they voted.

They got a house, now they need electricity, water, sewer, cable, internet, furniture, maintenance costs, taxes, & insurance. What they need is a job skill AND a job.
Ummmm I’m sorry to break it to you,But the problem is LA exorbitant rent prices, $2k for 1 bedroom. $4-5k for a decent family home,They need to do something about that. Not point fingers at the homeless for not affording livin in this Ludacris city
@@CutieZalbu CA already has more rent control restrictions than any other state. its supply and demand. they wouldn't be getting that much if they couldn't. there's "cheaper" neighborhoods. but rent in itself is the issue if people had access to credit they could buy for just as much as they're paying rent in some cases. Its like banks see you can afford to pay rent but you can't be trusted with a mortgage even tho the property is there as collateral
Wasn't there a video here a few years ago where someone was making 1 room houses that were helping the homeless and the city confiscated and destroyed them?
The government wants to get more welfare money for its own gain, and not want other companies or charities doing this, unless those corporations help government grow, like the military corporations do.
That woman is living in a fantasy world. Nobody wants to go into a store with an entrance surrounded by disgusting homeless tents with people that have TB.
A business has no rights to the sidewalk. I can piss on his front door, defecate there, and sleep in a tent beside the door. All legal. I knows my rights!
@@JonSobieski The sidewalks are public property. Should the public have any right to have some level of control over how sidewalks can be used? I would say yes. Do you think it is okay to park a car in a sidewalk? How about driving a car in the sidewalk? Do you honestly believe we should have absolutely no control over how sidewalks are used?
If there weren’t people on the street she wouldn’t have a job. California has a homeless industrial complex now and it employees many people in the public and private sector.
I have very mixed feelings about this. When I turned 18, I was kicked out of my foster home (not thier fault: the state said I had to go to free up room for someone else) and was homeless for a short time before finally finding a couple of couches. Found a job. Worked hard. Found a second job. Worked harder. Finally I was able to save up enough to rent my own apartment. Now I work a ton of long hours to be able to afford my one bedroom apartment. Meanwhile, my cousin is living in a 7 bedroom, 5 bathroom house for 250 a month. Because she has 7 kids. And plans on having more so she can get more assistance (her words not mine). Long story short, something needs to be done but just giving it freely leads to people like my cousin who just take advantage...
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I agree with you that government intervention incentivizes behaviors. Feed a stray cat, next thing you know you have a dozen cats showing up at your door. By the way, didn't your state have assisted living for foster kids who aged out? Like a half way house, or job assistance? I'm a foster parent in Florida and they have group homes that are kept for kids 18-22 to help them transition to adulthood. I was just curious.
Fortune smiles at some and laughs at others. Time will tell where you and your cousin's fortune ends...or begins. Good on you for not being on the take. You will sleep better. Respect!
I don't have mixed feelings at all. We all enjoy the right to live and be free but when that right comes into conflict with another's rights to the same, usually through government mandate, then we have a problem. Your foster home was paid for as a reward to your foster parents by the government who extorted the money from others to pay for it. You were kicked out because the government stops paying for you at 18. Your cousin is benefiting from that same extortion that you absurdly resent. It is just laughable.
Spending a lot of time in the street as a skateboarder it’s pretty apparent speaking with people who are homeless that nearly every one of them isn’t just dealing with a fundamental issue of not having financial resources. Each person I’ve talked to has a unique psychological situation that is the root of the problem. Without addressing how to heal those issues to the point where the person will be able to maintain a self sustaining lifestyle you’ll just be treating symptoms instead of the root issue.
@@samusvi2693 In some cases, but that doesn't explain mental illness found in a wide variety of people with no history of drug addiction and many people with drug addictions began medicating themselves to handle their mental illnesses (though not in a recommended manner of course).
Yeah. I don't get why they can't simply build housing, when they literally have a billion fucking dollars to work with. A tiny home can be built for like $1,000 or less. They simply don't WANT to fix homelessness.
@KRYMauL no she would rather wait for a 500k apartment is available because the shipping containers can be made cheaper but they are routinely turned down
its literally the same with all those trillions that have been spend on africa. where did that money go? exactly in the pockets of the corrupt charities and governments. same happens in LA.
It’s very true. These people don’t want to live under any rules, they can’t hold down jobs, or maintain relationships with others. Homelessness is a symptom of the bigger issue that these homeless people have.
actually research shows that a lot of people can get back on their feet if theyre given a chance and it costs more to let them live on the street and steal and do drugs and get hospitalized for injuries and sickness than to give them cheap housing. of course half a million per unit is ridiculous.
@@jenc8953 I live in transitional housing. A lot of people move on into a place of their own. A big part of it is the programs providing private shelter (this is essentially an apartment complex with food), wifi, phones, and then you give the individuals case managers who keep them on their toes. They have to search for jobs and get them, and they get help with therapy, resumes, clothes donations, etc. That's all it takes for many of the people here.
Most of these homeless advocates, like Becky, are straight up garbage people who keep sueing the city to give the homeless all these rights that make it impossible to get them off the streets. They are openly doing drugs, crapping, and trashing the city and cops are pretty much hands off meanwhile I get a $150 jaywalking ticket down in Hollywood.

@@richardhall6762 This sounds enormously impractical as a means to helping these people. I supported this referendum because it proposed a holistic well considered approach to make a meaningful improvement in as many lives as possible within the budget that the residents of Los Angeles were willing to allocate to helping those of us in need. If you aren't able to understand why I say us, it is because I am a Southern Californian and a human being. This is akin to Bernie Sanders 2020 slogan, "not me, us" because he will work single-mindedly to lift the tide for all of us humans in America. I am concerned that the prevalance of Thought Terminating Cliches in service of Olgiarchy has deprived many of you of your humanity, which is the most important identity of any we might have.
Lets see how the Venice housing lady feels about "sharing our public spaces" if homeless people set up camp in front of her house. She'll be the first to call the cops i bet.
Treating the symptoms to score political points in each election is all they want to do. They don't dare actually solve the problem or the following election there will be no sob stories and filth to blame on their political opponent. That's why I love that Trump told them to clean these places up or he would send in the Federal government.
A percentage of homeless could be helped with affordable market housing. Reduce building codes, zoning laws, tenant rights, etc., then risk/profit signals would supply more housing. Won't save the addicts though
Addiction and mental illness are effects of the homelessness. When they have nothing else to do all day, of course they're going to turn to drugs and alcohol to deal with their traumatic experience. It's like treating the cancer instead of going after cigarettes. There would be significantly less cancer if you attack the problem, not the byproduct.
And you can't focus on those when people don't have basic needs. The idea behind Housing First is that you get them into a shelter with water and food, meeting fundamental needs of life, *then* you have them in a situation where they can work on addiction and mental illness. Homelessness increases all of those problems, and needs to be dealt with first.

@@alexsch2514 give them enough resources to survive permanently and they won't be unemployed or homeless in a year? I'd hope not if you give them enough to live off of permanently? Work ethic fixes most issues. Some habitual poor decision making can't be overcome by work ethic but most can. So it's not a worship of the rich that compels people to say get a job. It's the understanding that a job/jobs/work gives most people purpose. A sense of self-respect for accomplishing something and paying their own way in life. People who were not taught work ethic and delayed gratification as children will almost always have poor decision making and money trouble throughout their life. Throwing money/ resources at them will not fix that. If more public resources are poured into feeding, housing, and paying for people who do not want to participate in society. It will only encourage more people to leech off society. Leaving less of a limited amount of resources for those few that truly cannot help their situation. Rewarding bad behavior and poor decision making will never stop it. Welfare was never ment to be a handout (see TVA, CCC...) It was designed to be worked for. Nothing worth while is gained without work/ sacrifice.

People who think they have a right to be taken care of while doing little to nothing to better themselves, understand neither nature or history. Historically those few that were actually incapable of caring for themselves were provided for by charity. People choose to freely give charity because we lived in polite society. Charity, seems so foreign a concept to most people nowadays.
There are many causes and one of them is offering free housing. Just like when you say you will see me in LA. Rewarding homelessness by punishing those who do work and pay for their homes isn't the solution. It just makes me resent going to work everyday. I will just go homeless and get the free stuff, too!

@Joanne Woodward I'm not convinced. Might not some of the homeless prefer your jails to the streets back home? If a non-negligible number of them do, then that will get expensive fast.
@Joanne Woodward There are a lot of claims there that I don't know how to evaluate, and one that I think is just wrong. I feel like a complete shitlib for saying this, but #NotAll. A disproportionately high number of homeless people will indeed be drug users, and a lot of drug users will avoid going to jail for no other reason than to avoid withdrawal. What about the ones who aren't or who won't? We're not even talking about the majority of the homeless here. Under your proposed scheme, every one of them who prefers your jails to their home streets can make you incarcerate them repeatedly and indefinitely. The annual cost of keeping someone in jail is somewhere between $30k and $60k. This is probably even more expensive, because a) California and b) you're doing catch and release every single day. If that's even 3 or 5 or 10% of the homeless, then at that point, you're spending so much that you'd probably save money by coming up with something better and more humane to do with them.

You have people in office over 80 years of age. They can't even stay awake during the sessions. They should be replaced. How many regular jobs let you work that long and give you a huge pension? They receive more for a pension than some citizens make in 3-5 years.
Fate Weaver ...I remember, he couldn’t get them out fast enough for the city to trash them. The city politicians are the problem...vote them out.
With $1B they could've built 1 million of those small houses.
Lilith >>> During the interviews, the politicians were saying that the citizens did not want them in their neighborhoods. While in truth, they could have positioned the little dwellings in communities with centralized restrooms, kitchens and gardens. This concept has worked in other cities. But, when you have politicians using the funds elsewhere. Yet, the homeless communities in California seem to be growing. This leads America to uncover why California has excessive housing issues. I recently read there are areas in California with taxation in the 30% and above?
@@yellowroseoftexas2890 They're probably right about lots of citizens not wanting homeless communities in their neighbourhoods. Providing order, safety, sanitation and maintenance in those communities is going to be hell. The quality of life of ordinary people is going to suffer for proximity to these YIMBYtowns.
That homeless advocate is so obviously disconnected from the problem, her only 'solution' is to allow it to continue and fight everyone else's attempts.
Unreal.

When it's not about stopping the problem, but promulgating the money to stop the problem
She literally argues for sidewalk camping - even with a hypothetical 30,000 beds available.
@@adamsee444 Government creates its own demand. first they cause the problem, then they propose how to stop the problem. It keeps the flow of stolen loot flowing that way.
I agree. The guy asked her about the owners of those homes and businesses having rights and she pushes it under the rug, just like all democrats. "We can have that conversation when we get there." We ARE there!
It's not the lack of housing that's causing homelessness. Just by shoveling them into housing without addressing why they're homeless in the first place will just result in the units getting trashed and destroyed.
This is so true. Some people do benefit from the “housing first” model, but the fact is that most people are homeless because they are drug addicts, refuse to hold a job, or constantly commit petty crimes and go in and out of jail.
It’s a heartbreaking problem . I’ve worked with the homeless and there is no one size fits all solution. Most important, the person has to want to get out of their homelessness situation. The sad fact is that many people find it’s easier to take the free handouts than to work to earn their own living.
We have to walk the very fine line between helping and enabling.

Yes. It's almost like the usual government solution of throwing money at the problem doesn't work yet again. The reason why homeless doesn't improve is because this is a multi faceted issue that has no magic bullet solution. You would need housing, as well as mental health care, zero tolerance addiction care, criminalizing sidewalk living, and job requirements. These are all losing policy positions that need to be talked about, but uncomfortable to bring up.
@@fm5280 you mean you expect fast results for the problems that was created by lack of government control since the 80s? Mass homelessness, opioid crisis, and suicide rates didn't go up overnight. That is the exact result of neoliberalism and libertarian ideology that was imposed on us. I literally gave you examples of that ideology and yet you refuse to acknowledge it which shows how far neoliberalism ideology has been embedded into your brain.
mehrshadvr4 unfortunately freedom gives people the opportunity to make choices that are terrible for them. I know people who would be homeless if not for family members who are sacrificing everything for the abusive addicted family member who trashes the apartment that isn’t theirs and makes life a nightmare for those around them. Addiction and mental illness doesn’t get fixed just by giving someone free stuff and a roof over their head!

In California, it is all about helping the unions. Those permanent structures at $600,000 per unit are being built to provide jobs to unions labor. It has got nothing to do with solving the housing crisis, it's just mislabeling. Corruption runs deep.
Yep, unions and Democrats fucking over the people as usual.
Ajinkya Taware that’s all red tape .... absolute bulls hit
And those huge green tents look horribly unsafe. I think I would prefer to sleep in a camping tent over the risk of sleeping in one of those
This is true. I'm in the biggest union besides the city workers of course, and all they preach is vote dem constantly
I don't understand why you see unions as evil? In Finland (and Europe in general) we're very lucky to have strong worker unions that ensure everyone gets paid living wage and that they aren't mistreated at work or fired without proper cause. and having a stable well paying job creates stability that prevents homelessness... we have homeless in Finland, but they're few and it really takes a lot of effort from the person to become homeless. We help as much as we can anyone who is struggling so if you go homeless in Finland, you're really fucked up beyond any reasonable doubt.
Also Los Angeles: "These cheap yet effective $1,200 houses aren't an acceptable alternative to living on the streets/tents".
I saw how a musician's decent units were take away by government because the specifications were against "regulations" -
As you said, better than tents but not good enough so lets keep those poor people in tents - STUPIDITY!
Citing "regulations" is another way for city bureaucrats to say, "since we didn't profit from your solution, you're not allowed to do it".
@@StandupGuy55 Yep, regulations, and best if need the approval of bureaucrat, are the source of corruption.
But left loves government...
I think it's because if a homeless hurt himself is these $1,200 house made by the governement, he can take the governement in court and have plenty of money at the end. So the governement won't take the risk if the specifications are against "regulations" because the responsability is their...

If there weren’t people on the street she wouldn’t have a job. California has a homeless industrial complex now and it employees many people in the public and private sector.
I have very mixed feelings about this. When I turned 18, I was kicked out of my foster home (not thier fault: the state said I had to go to free up room for someone else) and was homeless for a short time before finally finding a couple of couches. Found a job. Worked hard. Found a second job. Worked harder. Finally I was able to save up enough to rent my own apartment. Now I work a ton of long hours to be able to afford my one bedroom apartment. Meanwhile, my cousin is living in a 7 bedroom, 5 bathroom house for 250 a month. Because she has 7 kids. And plans on having more so she can get more assistance (her words not mine).
Long story short, something needs to be done but just giving it freely leads to people like my cousin who just take advantage...
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I agree with you that government intervention incentivizes behaviors. Feed a stray cat, next thing you know you have a dozen cats showing up at your door.
By the way, didn't your state have assisted living for foster kids who aged out? Like a half way house, or job assistance? I'm a foster parent in Florida and they have group homes that are kept for kids 18-22 to help them transition to adulthood. I was just curious.
@@JohnPrepuce They were just starting up then and I did not qualify. I've heard that it is much better now. This was over 15 years ago...

Good on you for not being on the take. You will sleep better.
Respect!
@@timsilva1944 very true
I don't have mixed feelings at all. We all enjoy the right to live and be free but when that right comes into conflict with another's rights to the same, usually through government mandate, then we have a problem. Your foster home was paid for as a reward to your foster parents by the government who extorted the money from others to pay for it. You were kicked out because the government stops paying for you at 18. Your cousin is benefiting from that same extortion that you absurdly resent. It is just laughable.
If it cost 500,000 to build one unit in a place with a stable climate your laws are insane
Spending a lot of time in the street as a skateboarder it’s pretty apparent speaking with people who are homeless that nearly every one of them isn’t just dealing with a fundamental issue of not having financial resources. Each person I’ve talked to has a unique psychological situation that is the root of the problem. Without addressing how to heal those issues to the point where the person will be able to maintain a self sustaining lifestyle you’ll just be treating symptoms instead of the root issue.

Id hate to be “that guy” but throwing housing at these people aint gonna do much to combat the basic issue here
It’s very true. These people don’t want to live under any rules, they can’t hold down jobs, or maintain relationships with others. Homelessness is a symptom of the bigger issue that these homeless people have.
actually research shows that a lot of people can get back on their feet if theyre given a chance and it costs more to let them live on the street and steal and do drugs and get hospitalized for injuries and sickness than to give them cheap housing. of course half a million per unit is ridiculous.
@@jenc8953 I live in transitional housing. A lot of people move on into a place of their own.

Until addiction and mental illness is the focus, nothing they do will have any impact.
A percentage of homeless could be helped with affordable market housing. Reduce building codes, zoning laws, tenant rights, etc., then risk/profit signals would supply more housing. Won't save the addicts though
Addiction and mental illness are effects of the homelessness. When they have nothing else to do all day, of course they're going to turn to drugs and alcohol to deal with their traumatic experience. It's like treating the cancer instead of going after cigarettes. There would be significantly less cancer if you attack the problem, not the byproduct.
@Donald Smith yes we do just not through government. also we've had government funding for these things for decades now and the problem is still here.
"addiction and mental illness" is the problem with the politicians, then you have to deal with the homelessness they caused.
And you can't focus on those when people don't have basic needs. The idea behind Housing First is that you get them into a shelter with water and food, meeting fundamental needs of life, *then* you have them in a situation where they can work on addiction and mental illness. Homelessness increases all of those problems, and needs to be dealt with first.

True.
Instead of helping the homeless they are enabling them to stay in their situation. Not only that but encouraging other homeless people to move there.
That's not how this works. I mean, I'm against what the City does too, but for completely different reasons.
@@TheSeniorTaco absolutely not. Only a human already living in dignity can think about making their life better and make long-term good decisions. Poverty isn't lacking character, it's lacking moned. Give a random homeless man enough money to survive permanently and, unless they have a mental illness like Depression or ADHD, this person will be neither homeless nor unemployed within a year.
@@alexsch2514 give them enough resources to survive permanently and they won't be unemployed or homeless in a year?
I'd hope not if you give them enough to live off of permanently?
Work ethic fixes most issues. Some habitual poor decision making can't be overcome by work ethic but most can.
So it's not a worship of the rich that compels people to say get a job. It's the understanding that a job/jobs/work gives most people purpose. A sense of self-respect for accomplishing something and paying their own way in life.
People who were not taught work ethic and delayed gratification as children will almost always have poor decision making and money trouble throughout their life.
Throwing money/ resources at them will not fix that.
If more public resources are poured into feeding, housing, and paying for people who do not want to participate in society. It will only encourage more people to leech off society. Leaving less of a limited amount of resources for those few that truly cannot help their situation.
Rewarding bad behavior and poor decision making will never stop it.
Welfare was never ment to be a handout (see TVA, CCC...) It was designed to be worked for.
Nothing worth while is gained without work/ sacrifice.
@@themissourikid969 it is every persons right to survive. No one, not even "lazy" people should have too few resources to survive. People work because that's a human desire. We don't take away any incentive by just having people's basic physical needs met.
@@alexsch2514
People don't have a right to be taken care of. Look at any time in America before FDR for proof.
Nature gives no quarter. Nature doesn't care what you do or don't want to do. Nature only cares if you've done enough to survive. People who are separated from nature / reality start imaging people have all sorts of "rights" that don't exist.
People who think they have a right to be taken care of while doing little to nothing to better themselves, understand neither nature or history.
Historically those few that were actually incapable of caring for themselves were provided for by charity. People choose to freely give charity because we lived in polite society.
Charity, seems so foreign a concept to most people nowadays.
I'm homeless, and I think if they are giving away free homes for life, then I'll see you in LA. You don't fix a cause by treating a symptom.
Internet acces is a human RIGHT!
There are many causes and one of them is offering free housing. Just like when you say you will see me in LA. Rewarding homelessness by punishing those who do work and pay for their homes isn't the solution. It just makes me resent going to work everyday. I will just go homeless and get the free stuff, too!

Count of Monte Crisco What can go wrong when you encourage and enable this type of behavior?
there in lies why states do something called "race to the bottom" I learned in sociology class. You can't have a state that has really good homeless services because all the neighboring homeless people will flock there.
@Joanne Woodward isn't that giving them a safe place to sleep every night?
@Joanne Woodward I'm not convinced.
Might not some of the homeless prefer your jails to the streets back home? If a non-negligible number of them do, then that will get expensive fast.
@Joanne Woodward There are a lot of claims there that I don't know how to evaluate, and one that I think is just wrong.
I feel like a complete shitlib for saying this, but #NotAll.
A disproportionately high number of homeless people will indeed be drug users, and a lot of drug users will avoid going to jail for no other reason than to avoid withdrawal.
What about the ones who aren't or who won't?
We're not even talking about the majority of the homeless here. Under your proposed scheme, every one of them who prefers your jails to their home streets can make you incarcerate them repeatedly and indefinitely. The annual cost of keeping someone in jail is somewhere between $30k and $60k. This is probably even more expensive, because a) California and b) you're doing catch and release every single day.
If that's even 3 or 5 or 10% of the homeless, then at that point, you're spending so much that you'd probably save money by coming up with something better and more humane to do with them.
I’ll take a free house in LA please. Not an apartment I want a house. I’ll also accept anywhere in SoCal within 2 miles of a beach. No thugs nearby. Thank you
You are stupid
Chell Lopez it’s sarcasm bro and showing what dems want
She is against keeping sidewalks free of homeless people....I wonder what her narrative would be if she had people living right in front of her home....
Right!!! She said they have to understand. No they DON'T! Not fair for owner or customers
Affiliates who own the real estate used to house these homeless people are receiving 3x what their property is worth. In other words they are using our money to over pay their friends large amounts of money to use their properties to “house the homeless”
Large amounts of tax dollars allocated to overpay friends of the state for services and resources. This has been going on for too long.
Let's face it, California has doomed itself.

Most homeless in California are actually from California. It's a statistic I've seen in various places.
@@eugenekim4648 ...yes and many of these become homeless because drugs and warm weather make it easy to.
This is a drug problem manifesting itself as a homeless problem. Tack free housing onto it and you'll only make it easier & attract more homeless.

@@TJ-oo5mx Most from Cali. According to LAHSA about 35% from out of town. That percentage will continue to grow. It's was 25% just 2 year ago.
How to attract homeless from the entire country: give them $600k apartments for free.
Free housing on that scale is something right out of the Soviet Union. How these people can unironically still be advocating for such a society is beyond me.
Coletrain the Soviet Union wasn’t stupid enough to house it’s drug addicts, alcoholics and mentally ill in downtown Moscow. They would either get locked up in mental wards or sent to labor camps. This level of stupidity is only achievable in America.

They are people
It's not good for business and would you want them in front of your business? Are you telling me that urine and feces on the sidewalk is fine with you?
Definitely not. I feel for theses businesses. We should house these people, which would be very doable if not for all the government red tape.
@@irone93 many of the homeless people dont want to be housed. near my house in LA the city brought in 100 trailers to house homeless people and only half the trailers have been filled up, even though I see many homeless people not a mile from there living on the streets.
Willem Kiperman that is a problem. I used to run a homeless shelter in San Antonio. One thing I can declare confidently is that homelessness is not the result of laziness. It is so much work being homeless. It’s much easier to work a full time job. If adequate housing is offed to these people which they refuser accept they must be relocated. They should not be able to occupy private property indefinitely. unfortunately there is no perfect government solution. Private charity is more effective
Cheap, small, temporary, livable homes need to come first and THEN long term homes
The temporary solution just end up in the same conditions as the tents in the streets and there won’t be inventive to create a permanent solutions.

@@dancemattdanceify read what a hyperbole is
Joseph G. Faxs
@@dancemattdanceify Thats via direct taxes. Indirect taxes drive up prices and can leave people homeless due to high cost. California housing crisis is due to heavy government taxation and regulation.
Nothing is ever going to happen. It's always just talk talk talk. The homeless housing won't happen because there is no money in it, for the city, the state, or private investors. There is no such thing as "beurocratic confusion", no one wants to do it because there is no money in it. This situation is a lose lose. Sad to watch.
What is amazing, and frustrating at the same time, is that we have technologies like the 3D printer mentioned in video to actually do something about the homeless crisis. The politicians need to get out of the way and let the sane people work.
Not gonna happen though.

I'm curious of how those homeless people got where they are, everyone just cares about them being homeless and not about how they became homeless.
The vast majority are drug addicts. And almost half have some sort of mental illness.
The problem with the 'solutions' that California has enacted is they just enable the problem. Handing out needles to a bunch of drug addicts is no better than just giving them the drugs directly.

also expensive healthcare

Joanne Woodward true
meanwhile, some guy went on kickstarter, got a few thousand dollars, and made tiny houses for the homeless complete with a small solar charger but the city had to take them away. There is a serious problem in america. A man can try to help his fellow man and the government will swoop in and undo it.

Hey Cali why don’t you get your illegals out and let the homeless have their houses back. How the reps don’t get this is mind blowing.
Most of the "illegals" that you're referring to are the working population, thus are productive whilst those on the streetd are your native who are drug addicts, unemployed or rather with unlucky circumstance but majority of them are the former
You GTFO foo with your "illegals" BS. Most people out there are probably US citizens that had opportunities the so called "illegals" didnt. Why dont you tell your government to help those people that fought for thier country instead of abandoning them once they are not useful anymore to the US government.
