I think one of California's biggest reasons for homelessness is the climate.

WAY back when, I used to set up sound reinforcement equipment for summer outdoor concerts in the NE. (Yep, that was me, wheeling big speakers around, setting up mike stands, and laying cable.) Anyway, the bums, as we called, them would always hang around the concerts because it was something to do. But when winter came many of them would ride the rails to California, because otherwise they'd, yanno, freeze to death. (Or they'd get ripping drunk and check themselves into the County Hospital detox unit for three hots and a cot. And some I think would find a way into the county jail for the same reason.) So, lots of homeless people come to California for the weather to - let me repeat this - avoid freezing to death. It was and is an actual plan.

California also has a REALLY large illegal immigrant population - the kind that employers like to exploit with off-the-books 'employment' featuring too much work, really low wages, and no benefits, and / or 'independent contractor' and 'gig' work.

In addition, California has REALLY expensive housing - it's those fantastic market forces at work! because nobody builds low-cost or even middle-cost housing (there's no money in it), and housing bubbles amp up prices beyond reach.

All in all, there are a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with California's policies on anything that draw a lot of the homeless, illegal immigrants, unemployed, and marginally employed to the area; or that create homelessness. And it's an option, because if worse comes to worse, you won't freeze to death if you live under an overpass or along the riverbeds or in your car.

That said, California also has some serious pandering to illegal immigrants.

Whoa - what are the odds? We agree on 2 things in the same day. (You'll notice I left out the Russian bit).

The 2020 Dem candidates will be in L.A. for their next town hall, I wonder if any of that will come up?

LOL @ trying to pin Venezuela’s decades old problem on Trump. Good grief.

Moonbeam trying to relive the glory days of Gray-out Davis.
Since that led to The Governator, could this time lead to Governor Eastwood?

Are all of these examples of devastation still in the neighborhood of the Pelosi Mansion? Or is she helping to spread it all about equally?
If it degrades down to the level of Mexico, then SoCal will feel much more comfortable, just like home. Can you not share their pain?

That's because you're too chicken to post Russian Troll™ because you know it's libel.

Hey guess what! You'll notice that I didn't post anything about GSTRING being anti-American either!

Saying that you're not bringing something up is just a chickenshit way of bringing it up.

And it doesn’t have to be that way. People have a choice, and should exercise their right to choose better.
How is it obvious?

And yeah, people DO have a choice, which is why many of the nation's homeless come to - California! How is that a product of CA's over-regulation?

How is PG&E's bankruptcy - caused by its own failure to meet its own stated standard of maintenance - a problem of CA's over-regulation?

Draw the line between your claims and evidence!

Watch the video. Watch any video on the decimated quality of life for those in CA's major cities. CA's hyper green bureaucracy is the cause for much of the wildfires and their exponentially fast rates of growth and coverage in short periods of time.

It's not even up for debate, so if you want to keen denying what's been established, be my guest. You're just tossing stones at the moon for all the good it does.

Betting dollars to donuts it won't, because the Dems have zero excuses nor can theyu blame anyone else because Dems fully control that state. It's their making, their mess and their ONLY hope is to get Kamala or some sympathetic D in the WH to bail them out w/ a massive federal bail out.

Nope - you give yourself and your empty threats way too much credit. You're definitely a troll. Russian? How would I know? I go with Geezer's "Why do you bother with them, they're old Soviets." You took a political stance decades ago and you're stuck on it because if you don't, you'll have to admit to yourself that you wasted 20+ years of your life, maybe more.

With DNC coming to Milwaukee next summer, they're ginning up the meth trade so the Dems feel at home.

You give yourself way too much credit when you assume you've figured me out. Because literally none of what you posted is true. Give me an excuse, and I'll prove you wrong in court. And then won't you feel as stupid as you are.

And yeah - there's a reason I call you GEEBERS.

The insane never-Trumpers will be driven even more insane in the wash/rinse/spin/repeat/ cycle they mistake for reality.
