A new tax should help

MikeDamone

JFC. I’m sure the money will be spent wisely and homeless will go down. Or, an alternative bet would be it not only does nothing, but things will get worse.

If by little or no progress you mean it got worse then yes

Spend $700K per each homeless housing unit is pure phu*cking genius. After a couple of years of occupancy by a homeless vagrant probably could flip it for a $100K.

The left is unwilling to admit what the real issue is with the homeless. It is primarily a mental health and substance abuse issue. When you hear a politician say that the homeless problem is caused by a lack of affordable housing they are lying to you and are only trying to impose another tax to fleece the taxpayers and reward their supporters.

We could deal with the homeless problem over night but lack the political will to do so. So instead, we'll spend $Billions and we'll do nothing to actually fix the problem.

It's the working middle class that are effected by high priced housing

The government can't solve that either. They caused it

Gavin Newsome will cry about the lack of affordable housing and how it's causing the homeless problem and in the next breath he'll tout the state of California's new green energy polices that add thousands to the price of a new home.

The other reason is Kalifornia has tossed 60,000+ felons out of prison onto the streets.

You invite each homeless person into your house and offer to blow them.

Imagine thinking that someone wants to fix the homeless problem and kill the 700 million dollar golden goose.

Nobody wants to fix any fucking problem. That's the problem.

Problems are money. And money is graft if you know how to play the game and aren't worried about what a cunt you are.

So yeah, nobody is fixing any problem. You gotta find a workaround.
