Glad that $30k spending per head is making a positive difference š¤ https://www.apnews.com/41b8393c7a434695985cde2a9852e786
Youth homelessness declined, the report suggests that the increase is in people living out of their cars. This is a trend across California (if not the whole west coast - but idk, I havenāt read anything about Oregon or Washington). People living in cars are likely ex-renters or home owners. This preview of the report didnāt say anything about how many are homeless and still working, but other things Iāve read make it likely that a significant portion of people living out of cars have jobs. This is a housing and cost of living effect, not because of āimmigrationā or ālazinessā or whatever other scapegoat. There need to be living wage jobs and/or decent sub-market housing for the working or temporary homeless as well as safe housing for street-people homeless.
Well, this is exactly what was promised! America has become great again!
This is going to get a lot worse
SF and Seattle have some of the worst and most enabling city councils
Awesome. Happy to see democrat's policies coming to fruition!! š Now we only need the voters to stick around (instead of exporting their presence and infinite wisdom to other states) and they will get red-pilled.
Drugs and idiot liberal political leaders have that effect.
It can be confusing at first, but the earth keeps going past what you can see. Itās actually curved!
Credit Karma doesn't make it past my trash filter.
Where are the tax money going?
Public sector unions, who feed it to Dem politicians. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Donāt worry; more money would solve the problem.
Theyāre coming in from other cities because weāre spending $30k a head
That's a myth. The policy is clearly ineffective but it's also not the cause of the problem. The cause is a housing crisis. Unfortunately both Seattle and SF councils are too stupid to realize that and will waste more money on ineffective programs while doing nothing about the problem. Seattle actually prevented the development of a bunch of apartment high-rises by refusing to zone for them, saying single family homes preserved the community. Result: single family homes owned by tech workers, regular families moved into the low cost housing, and people who were just making ends meet got pushed out to live in their cars. Had all those high-rises been built then apartments would be more affordable, including at the low end. Still, at the end of the day you have to control the rate of immigration to prevent these problems. Solution is to spread immigrants around the country rather than concentrating them all in SF, Santa Clara County, and Seattle.
Tech immigration is destructive. We don't need per countRY caps on where people come from, we do need caps on how many can immigrate into a specific city or counTY.. Limit it to not more than 5% immigration into a given state or not more than 1% into a single county something.
Soo the China method? Systems like that protect people in positions of privilege while limiting opportunities for others. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hukou_system
No, citizens can go wherever they want. I'm talking about making sure immigrants are spread around the country more evenly so as not to do the kind of damage they are doing to San Francisco.
