Liberals Cause Their Own Homeless Problem

[Independent thinker]

What I've said all along and this article is the proof. And, it's not an article from Fox News. It is an article from the Atlantic, which leans left. Liberals have caused their very own problem. Same holds true with income inequality and a whole slew of other things.

The real cause of California’s homelessness crisis

It should be embarrassing to California officials that while their state deals with a seemingly intractable homelessness crisis, red states don’t have similar problems.

It’s a myth homelessness is primarily a problem in blue states — areas with an abundance of services available to people who won’t help themselves. This falsehood is related to the belief homeless people in a particular area aren’t local. In reality, homelessness touches every part of the United States, from urban to rural areas, from the coast to the mountains, from blue states to red states. Unhoused people may not be visible, but they are in your community.

California, Oregon, New York, and the cities within them receive significant attention regarding reporting on the homelessness crisis. But these blue states aren’t the only places with many residents experiencing homelessness. Here’s a list of the top 15 states with the highest number of unhoused people:

1. California: 161,548
2. New York: 91,271
3. Florida: 27,487
4. Texas: 27,229
5. Washington: 22,923
6. Massachusetts: 17,975
7. Oregon: 14,655
8. Pennsylvania: 13,375
9. Arizona: 10,979
10. Ohio: 10,655
11. Illinois: 10,431
12. Georgia: 10,234
13. Colorado: 9,846
14. New Jersey: 9,662
15. North Carolina: 9,280

That article came from the Ventura County Star and was written by Dan Walters at Calmatters. When you try to access the Atlantic link it asks for enrollment.

Why did it erupt during a period of strong economic growth?

It didn't. We have been dealing (not dealing) with this issue for many, many years. Something not dealt with will continue to grow no matter what.

If you have a cancer but go to the gym, your cancer will still grow. When an article starts off on a false assumption, well.................

Economics play a large part, but at all times a person can lose economically. All it takes is to suffer an injury or a health issue, or simply lose their vehicle where a person becomes unemployed. The benefits available aren't received overnight or on demand. It can take weeks and months.

Lots of people are homeless by choice. Any form of order or structure is anathema to them. Confusion is order, order is confusion to them.

So? Are you trying to say that it doesn't actually come from the Atlantic?

Maybe you don't get the point of my post. I quit reading the Atlantic years ago. It's leaning further as a rag.

Homelessness in Oregon is by design ... both Republicans and Democrats agree to limit residential land use ... "Come and visit Oregon often, just leave the U-Hauls at home" -- Gov Tom McCall ...

We can't shut our borders .. but we can make you live in your car the first two years you live here ... do you remember what happened in California in 1972? ... that can't happen in Oregon ... we don't want you here, so buzz off ...

Those folks aren't the problem ... we have our fair share of "gypsies", folks who move around as a matter of lifestyle ... they pick up after themselves ...

The problem is the mentally ill and drug addicts ... and their garbage ... that's the biggest difference between today and 50 years ago ... the poor never could afford to have garbage before, today it piles up where they congregate ...

Homelessness in Southern California is a higher standard of living than home and hearth are in Alabama ... just look at the garbage piles ...

Agree. I think drug use is the primary cause.

You can find homeless just about anywhere. But the OP addresses huge problems of homeless people such as tent cities and such. When you offer legal injections sites, people being allowed to sleep on business sidewalks, shoplifting barely a crime, you put out an ad for these people and that doesn't happen in Republican controlled cities.

This is a load since shoplifting is still a crime yet the police have no obligation to protect persons or property.

When in comes to CA, people who work can't afford a home there because of the outrageous cost of living. How is a non-working drug addict supposed to afford a home?

 

[Woodznutz]

Lots of homeless people choose states that have a warm climate and/or good social programs. Many spend the winters in the south, summers in the north. It's a society within a society within a society.

So Tards whom refuse to get out of their own way…can you fix American homelessness by adding tens of millions of desperate illiterate wetbacks to our population?

COMMENTARY: Illegal immigrants have turned California into the American Nightmare

Clearly, immigration — in the wrong form — does not lead to prosperity. California has become unlivable.

Dodge noted. I never said anything about personal protection by the police. I'm talking about the inability for police to arrest shoplifters. Why do you think all the Wallgreen's in SF closed down with other stores following? Police can't do squat to shoplifters unless they steal more than $1,000 per day. Of course that attracts multitudes of homeless people.
