My wife has to take trips to San Francisco every couple of months for business and each time she comes back with the same observation, "there are a great many people who appear to be living on the street and maybe homeless. "
I have not seen this for myself yet but I began to wonder why there seems to be no or very few stories about the homeless in the news these days. I remember hearing and reading about the homeless situation in this county almost every day when President Bush was in office but now I can't remember the last time I saw something on the news or read a newspaper article on the issue of homelessness in America?
So has America defeated the homeless problem or just shelved it until the next election?
I would posit that the homeless situation no longer fits the current narrative and are therefore ignored.
With democrats in charge the homeless disappear. Once a republican gets in, mayor, governor, president, “homelessness” will be in the papers the following day.
Maybe Maobama has given them all a “pain pill”.
There are no ‘homeless’ when a Dem is in the WH........................
They’re all here...in L.A.
Homelessness was a national news crisis when Reagan was in office. It was the top story and took up half the news every night for a very long time.
I believe it sort of went away like the body count in Afghanistan and Iraq the news was did every night when W was in office. They dropped it as soon as Obama took office.
Another popular news story under republican presidents is genocide. It is happening now more than ever but the media doesn’t want to make Obama look bad.
Yet, hardly any news on them today, even though our unemployment rates are certainly higher.
Discussions of the “wage gap” go silent under democrat presidents too.
Because democrat President cards more.
They are all in Honolulu.
They even camp out at the airport for the night.
.
See the comments above: there are only homeless under Republican administrations.
If you disagree, you’re obviously racist.
If it wasn’t for the NY Post (owned by Rupert Murdoch), there would be no mention of the homeless explosion in NYC. They’ve been running stories about it growing over 50% in the last 4 years alone, and parks being full of them sleeping and used needles around, but I doubt there’s any mention of it in the mainstream media in this Obamanation.
I assert that “liberals” don’t really care two shakes about any “oppressed minority” any further than they can be used to advance their agenda.

Soylent Green?
The homeless are only a problem when there’s a Republican administration. When there is a Democrat administration they are ignored. It’s just another example of blatant media hypocrisy and partisanship.
They disappear FROM THE MEDIA (only) when a democrat is in charge.
When it’s a republican’s turn they are ALL OVER THE PLACE.
Iffen you were to actually go and look—they’re ALL OVER THE PLACE.
