It is difficult to comprehend how truly apocalyptic the homeless epidemic in Los Angeles is unless you see it with your own eyes
No kidding
Some extracted info, even more to see there!
Some people see videos like this and think "Wow these people have really failed." I see videos like this and think "Wow, that country has really failed."
The location of this video shot is:
A) This is Gower Street underpass, near the Hollywood Freeway, just southeast of the Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills and just the tip of the iceberg.
B) These people block the only route to access public transit for many without cars.
C) The crime from this one encampment is relentless.
D) Barely any homeless in wealthy areas.
It isn't just one street and if you know anything about Los Angeles you would know it has been growing exponentially for more than a decade now. Every day there is five homeless people die on the sidewalks of Los Angeles.
Homelessness has gotten worse since the Ronald Reagan revolution and his wave of deregulation, fiscal austerity and scaling back of the welfare state. Capitalism causes homelessness. The welfare state has existed in some form since Theodore Roosevelt (Teddy Roosevelt) and Jimmy Carter did almost nothing to meaningfully expand it. The earlier administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) and Lyndon B. Johnson did the most.
The root of the problem, based on a great deal of research. There are several unmet needs:
• Affordable housing
• Affordable health care
• Affordable mental health care
• Drug treatment
• Education and training
• Jobs programs
These ALL contribute to homelessness.
In the Northern California, thing is the same. All of the places in NorCal have a terrible homeless problem. I am in Sonoma County. Perhaps some areas closer to the mountains are handling it better.
It is tragic throughout California State: Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento and even smaller communities like Salinas. The same thing in Austin (Texas), Seattle (Washington State), Portland (Oregon). My wife literally started crying this past weekend when we drove by the Virginia and saw all the homeless veteran tents within a stone throw of Rodeo Drive. Just plain wrong.
This is a problem in many cities in the USA, and increasingly in Europe too.

What they really don't talk about is all these homeless are given one-way bus tickets to San Francisco and Los Angeles from local municipalities from all over country to get rid of their homeless problem.
You question uncontrollable feedum of fee peoples?
Go back to Chyyynna
On another note, who is the kind hearted forum user giving sad emo watching this peoples like this?
I maintain my previous position regarding The United States - That entity & it's people belongs only in zoo.

how ?
These root causes are a direct result of governance policies started by Ronald Reagan.
His laissez-faire policy was to allow market forces to manage and govern these social issues. Society and the private sector are supposed to be more efficient in addressing them. It is governance of neglect in serving the people.
Surprise!! Apparently the private sector is more interested in enriching themselves.
China and CPC apparently is a more successful governance model that actually serves the people.
I grew up in the Bay Area, and was stationed near San Diego so I got to experience all the major cities of CA. So glad to have left when I did, the state is now basically a 3rd world country ran to the ground by corrupt Democrats and full of woke freaks who vote for them.
When I went back to Guangzhou a few years back, what a huge difference compared to a place like San Fransicko! No homeless shitting on the streets, no vandalism, superior Metro system and overall I just felt so much safer there without a gun than I do here in this country with a gun! SF is a place where you need to be carrying but of course the Dem overlords made that illegal!
Don't worry its definitely not me! These are the same kind of people who make jokes at our expense and show nothing but disrespect towards us. Now we flip the tables and clown on them back and spit right in their faces. As 6 Jan showed, Americunts love to talk tough but they can't back it up!

Are they still doing that?
I thought that was a great policy! It was hilarious.
I wished Toronto City Hall did something like that. I think someone in Saskatchewan did something like that, buy the homeless bus tickets to Vancouver, but there was a large outcry that stopped immediately.
Today, that policy would be impossible to do in Canada.
Greyhound Canada, the bus company shut down its operations permanently inside Canada. There is no more bus service from city to city in Canada anymore. A company 100 years old in Canada became a casualty of the pandemic.
Who knows. Maybe they start the UBI and now city hall can buy the homeless a train ticket or plane ticket to Vancouver!
They deserve it!
We deserve justice too!

Who the global minimum tax hurts more are smaller more pro-US countries where big corporations use them as tax havens. There's no incentive to be there anymore. They say it'll rein-in China. How? Maybe they forget mostly everything that says Made in China it's not a Chinese company that profits behind it. There are vastly more Western companies China can tax than there are Chinese companies they can tax because of their paranoia.

I'm sure it is still happening because people become homeless all the time.Are they still doing that?
