Nonsense. Let them know the truth. Skid Row is California with nearly 40-million people living this way. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are the only major cities in America where there are such problems and that's because of the liberals. Go downtown Baltimore, Atlanta, Memphis, Saint Louis, Gary, Houston, Portland, Seattle, Denver, or Birmingham and you'll see what a bigger city can look like when run well.

As someone who is trying to currently navigate zoning laws... I don't understand how they don't have laws against erecting tents and just confiscate/burn them. progressivism is based on giving candy to a baby, because progressives like it when the baby smiles at them. they desperately need the baby to like them, so anytime the baby wants candy, it gets candy. when the baby refuses to eat real food and insists on candy, progressives cave in and give it more candy, because anything else would be oppressive and the baby deserves candy. so the baby learns that all it has to do is throw a tantrum, and it gets more candy and when the candy-fed baby grows into a thoroughly undisciplined, morbidly obese sociopath with type 2 diabetes and a mouthful of rotten teeth, the progressive blames conservatives and gives even more candy. |

They live only to satisfy their addictions. They will lie, steal, and even kill to get their drug of choice. The crazy are those with mental illnesses that make them unsuitable for living at home. They're dangerous as they can run violent for no rational reason. Mix the two groups together and you've got people that are non-functional. You're not a drug addict because you're lazy.

Locally there's a "tribe" of them that rotate around the city going from shopping area to shopping area until they wear their welcome out and move on. They don't panhandle the stores too hard but do shoplift very heavily stealing food, clothing, and other essentials. They dumpster dive some but for the most part they panhandle the freeway off-ramps and gather aluminum cans to recycle. They also steal things left out in the yards - string trimmers, leaf blowers, shovels ... anything they can get a few bucks from.

Last year my group went to downtown LA, right past LAPD and up the observation deck. We then went to a Mexican restaurant a couple blocks away. There were bums and heroin addicts everywhere, as well as tents and piles of trash. The smell of piss and shit made the area smell exactly like India. Tent cities and piles of trash are all over LA and Orange county. Quote HistoryQuoted:

All this clickbait BS is getting very tiresome.  Tent cities and piles of trash are all over LA and Orange county. Based on what you hear from media or forums I should have been gang raped by homeless, injected with heroin and rolled in shit/piss every day. In the Tenderloin that might have happened. But it’s not “all over SF”. I actually enjoyed the 4 days although I realized how lousy of a (bicycle) climber I am. |

They are broken, there was a time where they were sequestered away from society for their own safety as well as that of the public at large.

A couple of friends of mine bought several acres of rural property just off I-20 in Georgia sight unseen . For taxes owed . Not near any metro areas. When they finally went to examine they area they found about 75 to 100 " campers " on the property . Seems that the crazy lady that had a house on the property had sought these people out and invited them to stay . Photos of the camp look exactly like the ones from L.A. .
They refused to leave to property . But they left when the roll offs arrived followed by the heavy equipment that scooped up the mess and carted the junk away . And completely removed the house along with the electric and water supply. When they finished the road was deeply trenched out to discourage any traffic . So it's not just a urban problem.  gd |

It was interesting to see so much stuff locked behind glass in a Walmart in with a police officer at the door. And that was in Rancho Cucamonga. The posters on this site from California are nice and all, but you all need to stop acting like this is normal. Blocks of tents, tons of trash, laundry detergent and makeup behind locks is not normal for 90% of the country. High priced items like certain alcohol (i.e. $50 bottles of tequila) and baby formula are locked up at our Walmart, but that’s to thwart shoplifters, not some sort of rampant crime or homelessness problem. I’ve lived all over the US and that’s not uncommon. I’m not a fan of CA and I’m not a native. I’ve only been here 5 years and we’re leaving at the end of the year (this place is killing me financially), but RC is without a doubt one of the safest places I’ve ever lived. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:From what I’ve seen most of the homeless are black and white, and it’s more of a mental illness/drug addiction problem than a “I’m down and out” situation. Very few Hispanic and no Asian homeless - their family bonds must be tighter. There are plenty of shelters for the down-and-out. The local church group teaches classes in cooking and then puts the students into church member's restaurants for 6-12 months so they have an employment record and then they move out. There's a local vet shelter that likely has 200-250 men living in it in 1 bedroom/1 bath apartments. The job market is exploding here and businesses are doing record numbers under the Trump economy. California is even sitting on a $22 billion dollar revenue surplus. |

You know, I really don't care. In fact I'm glad that the human refuge is plaguing leftist cities. Anyplace worth living is controlled by politicians that are willing to roust-out the vagrants.
Most if not all states have some form of Vagrancy/Loitering Laws usually letting municipalities deal with vagrancy/loitering as they deem fit within the law. If they choose not to enforce them it's the citizenry's job to hold their supervisor's feet to the fire or live with it. |
