Has California given up on the homeless?

[lockedout]

Seems like California just lets homeless people take over small areas of land.

The richest country in the world has the most homeless in the world.

I didn't know California was a country.

[PACOX]

Why not?

Its un(der) used space thats relatively safe. Other states should stop sending its homeless to LA.

I think hes refering to the fact the California has one of the largest economies in the world and yet it has a huge disparity between wealthy and poor. Seems like democrats cant figure out how to decrease poverty.

[masterhorus8]

Orange County is wanting to send the homeless from Anaheim down to a large park in Irvine, and Irvine is not happy about it at all.

[infinit]

Given up? they have never cared, everything they say is lip service

coastal elites could all but eliminate the issue, but they rather keep their money and let the middle class deal with it.

False

Could you at least fact check before bashing the U.S.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ess_population

If ya want to break it down by ratio we have less homeless then
China, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Austraila, UK, Russia, Sweden, the list goes on and on.

It's not a partisan issue, but if we want to talk partisan politics then all of the poorest states in the US are red states.

A lot of states send them, but they also come on their own due to the decent weather and social programs.

[Torto]

Don't call them homeless, call them next generation Democrat voters.

[lockedout]

I meant state obviously.

You meant state but listed cities like Vegas and Salt lake city?

[Quinraylo]

Its just not California when i was in Portland , Oregon they also have a problem with homeless, Its nothing new people that live in those area know its due to rent going up high and making it hard for people to rent and or they have mental or drug problem and they barley get any help. I wish government would do something.

[lockedout]

which are in states correct? Look at any major city and you will find a homeless 'area' I don't know what you were trying to accomplish wth this very thinly veiled Cali bashing thread.

Is it bashing for pointing out that they have the third largest homeless population per capita?
I live less than one mile from NYC and I don't see shanty towns like these anywhere (NY has more homeless per capita.)

I don't deny it's a problem I always hear on the radio what San Diego is doing about the homeless problem (it's a big political topic here). I am curious to see the date you are looking at that says Cali is 3rd. Who is 1st and 2nd?

Also I promise you if NYC has more homeless per capita there are areas where they like to congregate, you just haven't found them yet.

A bunch of different sites that I'm looking at keep placing New York City at #1 for total number of homeless. This one is as up to date as April 2018.

Hawaii and NY. I didn't say NYC I said NY as in the state. You seem to confuse states and cities quite often.
No because the city wont let them have shanty towns.

You know there are lies, great lies and statistic....what is the ratio of recorded and unrecorded homeless? What is the definition of a homeles person? In Sweden if the social administration arranges your accommodation you are homless in the statistic....

Do you realy think US and China puts down big goverment money to make statistics that is embarrassing?
