If I lived in Ca I would be pissed

[Wry Catcher]

Homelessness is a problem throughout the United States; I've not seen a study to prove CA has more per capita than other states.

The issue is not local politics, or of the State of CA's governance. It is the fault of The Congress which has not engaged in honest debates to reduce the numbers of this nationwide malady.

The War on Drugs is a failure, Mental health is not funded at a level necessary; thus the serious mentally ill end up in jails and prisons or left on the streets.

Drug addicts and alcoholics spend more time in jail than in treatment, they too add to the problem which cries for a solution, yet The Congress walks down the sidewalk and steps over those sleeping in doorways (metaphorically).

The issue is a sanctuary state, and yes, they do flock to sanctuary states for......sanctuary.
Gotta have a little common sense to figure these things out..

And your side of the aisle claims to be Christian and steps over the sleeping homeless without a thought. The issue is the failure of Congress, the bigotry of people like you, and for the last 3 years Trump's hate and fear rhetoric which created Sanctuary Cities and States.

Empathy is not only a word, it is a moral value, and something too many in power, and those who put them in power, don't have.

Yep, more BS....what a shock.

Maybe you should read your link. My experience, when ICE was INS, and we had an undocumented person in our jail, we would call INS and rarely get a response.

Thus the City and the County paid for the board and care while awaiting trial in jail, an attorney (usually the PD), a trial, a probation report and incarceration and a period of Probation; not a penny spent enforcing on any of these costs by the Federal Government.

So what your saying is that this is the line in the sand that they make their stand on? Good grief
If they were more consistent with the oversight, it could have been believable.

Kinda sad about Kathryn Steinle, isn't it?

The cost was one factor, ethics another. Using Kathryn Steinle as a prop is despicable, not that I'm surprised coming from you.

thats because you refuse to look at the not so great part of the state....and maybe 30 years ago it was the best of everything,now its like i said....you refuse to acknowledge the negative things going on today which was nothing 30 years ago,but are major problems today....take the California flag out of your ass issa and take a look around,you might see many struggling to make ends meet,still many inland without jobs.....roads that need at least repair...homelessness increasing daily..... the list goes on...

And you claiming to be a LEO turns a blind eye to the rule of law has no business telling others about morality. pathetic
How many homeless are you letting tent up in your backyard and feeding there, wry? Hypocrite much?

a) Discernment, is part of the makeup of good enforcement, that is, acuteness of judgment and understanding.
b) You and others don't bat an eye when you see someone, another human being, living on the streets.
c) All law enforcement personnel are human beings too, some have empathy, some don't. Some will make an arrest, some will awaken them with the baton, and others will offer them an alternative.
d) I support several alternatives which benefit the homeless. The Salvation Army for the substance abusers, and the Mental Health Assoc. of San Francisco.
e) I do not invite homeless people to put up a tent in my backyard; I'm not an enabler
f) I understand you can lead a conservative to morality, but you can't make them accept it.

What's funny is when they do studies about giving the conservatives outgive progressives by over 10 to one. One of those studies was done in San Francisco back in the 1990's. The ratio there was over 100 to one. Your claims are not born out by actual, rigorous studies.

no but there are many here who think most of the homeless are from other states.....approx 75% of the homeless in and around LA are Californians.....

I stated this before, in my early career I was privy to FBI rap sheets. I noted a number of dispositions on arrests in Southern States was, "Floater". I asked another agent what this meant, and he told me that the offender, usually petty thief, a chronic drunk or other minor offender, and usually black, was put on a Greyhound Bus and sent to California after being told don't come back, or else.

FBI "rap sheets" are now dealing with petty crime? C'mon wry, i actually have friends who are FBI agents, this is a lie, and you know it.

Now you're the liar. I don't need to lie, and I doubt very much you have FBI friends or ever asked them about rap sheets. Tell me, what is on a rap sheet, be it FBI or CII, in the heading and in each column!

I remember back in the late 1990's some gangbanger asshole shot up the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton. he hit 18 people I think it was. The DA there charged the prick with ADW for the crime. But then, after the outrage for filing such a weak ass complaint against the prick, the DA suddenly discovered that three of those who were shot were rival gang bangers. So he filed attempred murder charges agains the asshole for those criminals.

What a message you progressives have for the good, honest, taxpaying people of your communities, "if you are an illegal, or a violent gangbanger, your life is worth more to us, than the legit taxpayer."

And you wonder why people despise you.

Trains move without needing energy. Everyone in California knows that.

Tax people who ride on Amtrak then. Tax people who ride on CalTrans, or Bart or various other rail systems, but dont take gas taxes to pay for it.

The California High Speed rail, doesn't even move at all and had cost us Billions ...and is an admitted failure... all those billions thrown away by Newsom and people just like him. But , sure... I'm sure he knows what he's doing this time. California legislators need to donate their entire salary, and sell their second homes to pay back the citizens of California for their absolute failure and misappropriation of taxpayer funds.

People who believe the crap you've posted can't think out of the box that was locked after your brainwash.

Some things to consider:

• The air corridor between Northern and Southern California has reached its limit.
• Building Transit Villages create jobs, and reduces traffic on already overcrowded freeways.
• High speed rail in Europe and Asia is proof the CA Project is not a train to nowhere; it connects major metro areas, from Sacramento to San Diego with a spur into San Jose, Silicon Valley and San Francisco.

Delays, more delays, the the cost has risen from $10 billion to $77 billion and by the time it is finished could see it rise to over $100, scheduled to open in 2023, now, 2034 and more delays are expected. It's sucking money and no end in sight. Sad what California is going through. But not your money, right?

I wonder what the Transcontinental Railroad would have cost in 2019 dollars?

Fiscal Conservatism is not always, and is mostly not, fiscally responsible. Delays cost money, and you didn't mention the cause of the delays in your post.

How much did the invasion and occupation of Iraq cost the taxpayer? How about the over budget cost of the F-35? Why did
Ryan and Trump cut taxes, when every year we add to the national debt?

How much does President Trump's security cost each time he flies to Florida, and his agents who rent golf carts from which he profits?

Thus the City and the County paid for the board and care while awaiting trial in jail, an attorney (usually the PD), a trial, a probation report and incarceration and a period of Probation; not a penny spent enforcing on any of these costs by the Federal Government.

So what your saying is that this is the line in the sand that they make their stand on? Good grief
If they were more consistent with the oversight, it could have been believable.

Kinda sad about Kathryn Steinle, isn't it?

The cost was one factor, ethics another. Using Kathryn Steinle as a prop is despicable, not that I'm surprised coming from you.

Your city allowed that to happen, what IS despicable is your attitude to the laws that would have prevented it. POS

The facts in your little rant are wrong. Below is a synopsis of the death of Ms. Steinle, the trial and the appeal.

Conviction overturned for undocumented immigrant charged in death of Kate Steinle

It seems you are the POS a neo fascist who cares not for justice, but for revenge.

I live in Burlingame in the SF peninsula. I get 14,000 dollars a year from SS. I live quite well on that.

You are a liar, the property taxes would eat up your 'modest' income, dude.

His house could be under Prop 13 and his property taxes could be under $1000.00 a year. Don't be so quick to call anyone a liar.

Ummm, no, I don't care who you are, when you make 14,000 and live in an area where housing is a million plus.

You are insinuating that it isn't? A lot you know.

Trains move without needing energy. Everyone in California knows that.

Tax people who ride on Amtrak then. Tax people who ride on CalTrans, or Bart or various other rail systems, but dont take gas taxes to pay for it.

The California High Speed rail, doesn't even move at all and had cost us Billions ...and is an admitted failure... all those billions thrown away by Newsom and people just like him. But , sure... I'm sure he knows what he's doing this time. California legislators need to donate their entire salary, and sell their second homes to pay back the citizens of California for their absolute failure and misappropriation of taxpayer funds.

People who believe the crap you've posted can't think out of the box that was locked after your brainwash.

Some things to consider:

• The air corridor between Northern and Southern California has reached its limit.
• Building Transit Villages create jobs, and reduces traffic on already overcrowded freeways.
• High speed rail in Europe and Asia is proof the CA Project is not a train to nowhere; it connects major metro areas, from Sacramento to San Diego with a spur into San Jose, Silicon Valley and San Francisco.

Delays, more delays, the the cost has risen from $10 billion to $77 billion and by the time it is finished could see it rise to over $100, scheduled to open in 2023, now, 2034 and more delays are expected. It's sucking money and no end in sight. Sad what California is going through. But not your money, right?

I wonder what the Transcontinental Railroad would have cost in 2019 dollars?

Fiscal Conservatism is not always, and is mostly not, fiscally responsible. Delays cost money, and you didn't mention the cause of the delays in your post.

How much did the invasion and occupation of Iraq cost the taxpayer? How about the over budget cost of the F-35? Why did
Ryan and Trump cut taxes, when every year we add to the national debt?

How much does President Trump's security cost each time he flies to Florida, and his agents who rent golf carts from which he profits?

I dislike Trump's fiscal policies, I didn't vote for him for that reason, that and he and Hillary couldn't tell the truth to save their lives. I am all for bring all the troops home and letting the world police itself.

Now, back to the subject. The cost of the rail went from $10 billion in the 90's to $33 billion in 2008, with their shovel ready project to $66 billion under Obama, now we are up to $77 billion. So to recap, we added $33 billion with Obama and $11 billion with Trump and it will continue to grow whether this country elects a Democrat or a Republican President in 2020. Not sure why the President matters, however you brought it up.

There is mismanagement from acquiring land to planning, then you have California's bureaucracy and environmentalism. add to it the government printing money. It all adds up to higher and higher costs and higher and higher expenses.
