Again, CA Patriot is trying to change the subject. Stop trying to just stir up anger and resentment towards anyone that you want to target. You have done so with more posters than just me. Time for you to return to discussing the topic. This is clearly not what the story is about.

What solutions to housing do you have CA Patriot? If you don’t have a better solution, then why are you complaining? This is getting very humorous. All we get is complaints from posters, with nothing constructive to contribute.

Here we go again, instead of discussing the topic CA Patriot attempts to just stir up a mob to attack those that prove his inaccuracy or demonstrate his dishonesty. Stick to the subject.

Nothing but a continuing MAGA rant and not a constructive conversation.

CA Patriot cherry picks facts regarding the Public Policy Institute (https://www.ppic.org/publication/immigrants-in-california/) , the real picture is:

California has more immigrants than any other state.

California is home to almost 11 million immigrants—about a quarter of the foreign-born population nationwide. In 2019, the most current year of data, 27% of California’s population was foreign born, more than double the percentage in the rest of the country. Foreign-born residents represented at least one-third of the population in five California counties: Santa Clara (39%), San Mateo (35%), Los Angeles (34%), San Francisco (34%), and Alameda (33%). Half of California children have at least one immigrant parent.

Most immigrants in California are documented residents.

More than half (53%) of California’s immigrants are naturalized US citizens, and another 25% have some other legal status (including green cards and visas). According to the Center for Migration Studies, about 22% of immigrants in California are undocumented. From 2010 to 2019, the number of undocumented immigrants in the state DECLINED from 2.9 million to 2.3 million.

After decades of rapid growth, the number of immigrants has leveled off.

In the 1990s, California’s immigrant population grew by 2.4 million people, a 37% increase. But in the first decade of the 2000s, growth slowed to 15% (1.3 million), and in the past 10 years, the increase was only 6% (about 600,000). The decline in international immigration has contributed to the slowdown of California’s overall population growth.”

He reported OLD and misleading statistics. The fact is that undocumented workers declined by more than 25%. Isn’t that an IMPROVEMENT? This has been his approach for years.

I wish someone would moderate the content here. And what does immigration have to do with housing regarding the TOPIC of this story?

Answer 2 sounds right, BUT that means all those people that intentionally decided to not follow Covid guidelines qualified as “dangers to self and others” and thus need to be committed to hospitals too. Look at the damage they caused, 1Million dead and 10 Million disabled, and an economy in shatters.

What is your solution for Cleaning up? What is yous specifica approach? Saying Clean Up only means isolating them so the rest of the people can’t see them. A concentration camp, right?

Yes it is a creel society, because most safety nets are underfunded by extreme conservatives. Without the funding that was promised by so much so called compassionate conservatives. For example Section 8 housing was promised funding for building affordable homes by the Reagan Admin., but that was cut. Funding for mental health treatment was also cut by the so called compassionate conservatives. They cut funding so that inpatient facilities were closed. Medical research funds are cut, remember AIDS, again by the Reagan Admin. The reality is that BOTH the conservatives and the so called liberals fail to do the job.

Because they both are not going to work together on anything, thus it is a total failure.

You still haven’t provided an actual solution, just bits and pieces regarding the total problem. WHERE IS THE GOOD TOTAL PACKAGE?

1. I see that you are still denigrating people who don’t use their real name, and yet, you do not use your real name any longer. Why? A bit of hypocrisy on your part?
2. Here is a positive suggestion: We don’t need fewer prisons, we need more in-patient mental hospital beds. We need to commit people who are clearly unable or unwilling to care for themselves or who are a danger to others. The homeless consist of mostly addicts, and mentally ill people. And, a fair share of just plain ordinary malcontents.

If we cleanup the drug addicts, drunks, mentally ill and criminals, we would have a manageable number of economic homeless.

It is a cruel society that allows its mentally ill and substance addicted homeless to die in the streets from overdoses, violence, and exposure. It is a suicidal society that allows its addicts, miscreants, anti-socials, and criminals to run amok in its cities. It would appear that Progressive (and their useful idiots who babble on about things they nothing about) continue to choose both paths.

You emphasize the part “A number of us make suggestions for improvements, or better alternatives to things, when we see fit” Remember there is the general rule “LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY” when it comes to effective leadership or problem solving.

The fact that this forum is used to rant like Donald Trumps media platform indicates that you cannot have a constructive discussion.

WHERE ARE THE GOOD IDEAS????
