Tents housing homeless line a street in downtown Los Angeles. The number of homeless people counted across Los Angeles County jumped 12% over the past year to a total of 58,936.

Let’s see if I get this right: They throw open their doors and stage a world class ‘give away’ of free stuff; they have year round good weather; there’s a free clinic on every street corner; they openly call themselves a ‘sanctuary’ city….and they DON’T know where all these bust out’s come from?? Really??

Common California. You know the answer to everything is always more socialism. Get to it!
Your people need your benevolent and loving care. Resources are infinite. Government can do whatever it wants. What are you waiting for?

Maybe it's because only the wealthy can afford to live there?

This is patently false. If only the wealthy could afford to live there then the homeless would not be living there. However the homeless are living there because the local government has made it easy and attractive to live on the streets in these cities.

I think California is becoming the world of the movie Freejack. The middle class is moving away. Well, parts of it. And it is becoming hell on earth for those still trying to struggle in the middle.

The good news is that they can sell their house and move to a place like KY and retire on the profit.

Quit electing Democrats to public office would be a good start.

Yup. What they'll do is rent control and public housing.

FWIW, I seem to see a lot more derelicts begging on street corners and walking around in the Denver, Colorado area this year.

I moved from Seattle to flyover country in 2007 because property prices and property taxes were out of control. Turned out to have been a good move.

“I think California is becoming the world of the movie Freejack. The middle class is moving away. Well, parts of it. And it is becoming hell on earth for those still trying to struggle in the middle.”

It’s the basic explanation for what happened to all urban centers in the Midwest

Every Democrat controlled city eventually becomes a hell hole not worth living in.

You would think the people would see this.......................

Oh, I don’t know, stop subsidizing it? Make food, water, medical handouts illegal? Destroy the tents? Check citizenship and deport illegals? Star involuntary commitments for mental illness? I will bet that would do it.
