I myself would prefer Santa Monica. Could live pretty good there as a vagrant.

    My customer is one street over. Two years ago when I was last there the tents and abandoned motor homes now housing the bums and drug addicts stretched over two miles. It was truly a sight to see.

    Mind boggling chincompetence. Entire city blocks are now effectively worthless. Might as well just raze a few of those buildings and setup official city sponsored favelas.

    What kind of a society permits this to happen? Conservatives are partially to blame for not stepping up. Even though progressive politicians enabled this to happen and are mostly to blame.

    Overcompensating compassion run amok

    iirc, the first time I realized things were changing was the inability of the courts to put the crazies away in institutions. (Mad houses?) When that happened those guys were started being public nuisances and only getting an over night trip to jail. O'er the years it has become what we have today in most cities.

    As time goes by I lean more towards punishing "the rich" and making people feel guilty

    And its backfiring

    Lots of folks have compassion i agree but not the activists. They have an agenda

    I've always subscribed to the bleeding heart theory. These people are deluded by their perception of compassion and chase that high to its nonsensical end point. I know plenty who are in that camp.

    I hear Dori ranting about some "agenda" to keep people dependent on government, but that theory has never resonated with me.

    I think the agenda is more to keep the issue in our face. I don't think most of the people on that street really give a shit about being dependent on the government

    I admire folks that quietly go about the business of caring for them. Real heroes you don't hear about

    Look at the places where this problem is the worst. There are no conservatives in power to even "step up." This is all on the left.
