The case workers and counselers that work with the homeless are diversity hires that won't address root causes of mental illness and crime such as single motherhood and cultural issues because it's not politically correct. Instead they'll sit on their butts and collect a paycheck while not solving the problem. They should cut out the middle man, fire the case workers and give that money to homeless and mentally ill people directly. I'm tired of seeing case workers driving around in nice cars while their clients live in run down slums in disrepair.
Another $100 Billion for Foreign Wars!!!!
Stop funding nonsense wars and help the homeless.
You will be homeless very soon. You've been conquered!
Because traitor joe gave all our American money to begging illegal alien leeches.
SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR STATES! most of them do not belong in LA. Stop giving them money, if they want help they need to go look for it. This is what happens when you give $$ to these people who don’t want to thrive, an immigrant can find a job and pay taxes but these American citizens can’t!???? Explain to me how is that even possible? And don’t make up excuses for them, rent is high everywhere people still pay it. People still wake up to work. Explain why are these people so special?
Even to rent a room it's $700. I stay in a town south of LA and even a studio runs $1400, so I need first/last month, deposit and make 3x the amount a month to qualify. It's hard to get your own place
Covid was brought in to get the ball rolling.
BlackRock, Vanguard , Goldman sachs . Evil Monsters .
DRUG ADDICTS
Thanks because of low wages..
Close the borders , we can’t even help and house our own
Where is biden’s assistance for our American citizens homeless especially our vets who fought for our country , our children who are our future period!🙏🇺🇸
Landlords are responsible
This is the new normal. Cost of being an country with third highest population with disappearing resources and corrupt officials.
1) High home/rent prices 2) No jobs (govt employment reports reports are fake 3) Fentanyl coming thru our borders. Thank you for your Liberal Democratic votes.

Enhance Your Satisfaction
…. Understand Your Existence
…. Searc h EXISTNC
Send back where they come from
Homeless are comes from Mexican
At the end of the day, you can't help people who doesn't want help
200 Billions for Ukraine
Thats a lie!!! Jokin Joey Biden.
Yay
I love all the ignorant euphemisms they come up with
Sad. I see this in alot of Democratic states.
According to senile Biden everything is great
But yea , lets send another 100 BILLION to Ukraine ROFLMAO
Bidenomics ! You voted for it.
Building back better !!!
Homeless agencies need to be forensically audited. These agencies proudly boasted, how they got LAPD defunded. Previous Exec Directors of PATH, she would not allow police to tow away RVs in these camps. Fmr. Exec. LAHSA boasted how she removed anti camping laws.
Nope these ppl are not "homeless" but addicts. They have been dumped here by other states like Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma. Perhaps this should be invetigated by Cali AG.
They come out here from states like Iowa, Kentucky Or countries like Canada b/c they like the weather out here.
None of their stuff is theirs, they stole it and further more those RVs and cars are most likely stolen too.
I have called the police on camping under the freeway I was told by PD here in LA that those encampments are under the authority of DOT.
It's not a problem California wants to slove but a scam for more taxpayer funding to these corrupt agencies.
Good job 👍 Democrats
Record homelessness numbers here and we're shoveling money into Ukraine and Israel…..imbalance??..
This is what happens when you instruct the Fed not to cut rates, and while predatory realtors convince people to buy homes at mortgage rates that outpace inflation leading to inevitable foreclosure.
What a disgrace, thanks joe biden and your criminal administration. You have created this nightmare. Portand Or use to just have a few streets or a few blocks that were considered skid row. Now its the whole city of PDX that is skid row. This is what happens when woke liberals run the country and the cities.
Super fuqued. Let's reimagine eminent domain and civil asset forfeiture to seize the luxury condos. We can literally just take them. They are ours. Don't be fooled into "building affordable housing." The stock is here, it's move-in ready. Let's eat!
Hmmm, the great resignation of 2023. Plenty of jobs available. If one wants to get a job, i think most employers are motivated to hire.
We need massive reforms in our govenments and campaign finance reform.
While administration and Congress are blowing U.S. assets on Israel.
Late stage capitalism/ Empire in decline 🤔
Working and homeless! The new slogan. It's not always drug addiction that leads to this. We NEED to stop this stereotype. Cost of living, especially rent is far outpacing wages which are not even remotely keeping up.. For people with no roommates or family to move in with and not making more than 75K, it's rough out there.
It’s the politicians problem, they care about homeless people and problems in other countries but don’t care about homeless people in the U.S.
What do you expect when rent and housing prices keep going up but our wages never go up??? Why can't the government give it's citizens money to pay rent like they are doing all these illegal immigrants that are coming over as well????? Oh I forgot, the US citizens just foot the bill for the illegals to live in housing that we can't afford working 3 job!!!
It's not a homeless problem, it's a drug problem. Call it what it really is.
And unemployment is at record low??
8 million people perished because a dump new zealand female worker approved Chen’s m&d PR application at Hamilton immigration service department that angered a devious teacher to made trade wars and inevitably released a virus to spead worldwide. If usa let these migrants in, what’ll come next?!……PLAGUE.
I worry about the bureaucracy being built up around homelessness, especially in California. Too many people and companies are making their careers on the billion dollar budgets going to supposedly solving these issues.
Biden breaking records
