I almost became homeless in 2014 and it had nothing to do with luck or meth. Just a decade long mid life crisis and poor decisions
As I am pulling myself back up I often had to put more in the gas column to get to work which was vital for the comeback and less in the grocery column that week. Hence my implacable hatred of climate change mother fuckers who are hurting the poor every day.
Rents are high and buying a house is high because of excessive regulation which does hurt the non meth addicted working poor family. Be proud all you scared little bitches with your green fantasies
I'm back and I am going to fight you to the ends of time. From hell's heart I stab at thee
Today, many of California’s leading homelessness advocates insist that the current crisis is due mostly to the housing shortage.
Homelessness experts and advocates disagree. “I’ve rarely seen a normal able-bodied able-minded non-drug-using homeless person who’s just down on their luck,” L.A. street doctor Susan Partovi told me. “Of the thousands of people I’ve worked with over 16 years, it’s like one or two people a year. And they’re the easiest to deal with.” Rev. Bales agrees. “One hundred percent of the people on the streets are mentally impacted, on drugs, or both,” he said.
Most of the time what people mean by the homelessness problem is really a drug problem and a mental illness problem. ”The problem is we don’t know if you’re psychotic or just on meth,” said Dr. Partovi. “And giving it up is very difficult. I worked in the local jail, and half of the inmates in the women’s jail were Latinas in their 20s, and all were in there for something related to meth.”
We can't even be honest about the reasons why we're seeing an increase in homelessness.
