Definitely no bum problem in beautiful Orange County.
Well for 1 that's Santa Ana, they are getting to experience the same problems that Seattle/LA have for the same reasons. If you cater to the homeless, you get more homeless.
Thankfully, Huntington Beach put a kibosh on the county's plans to "relocate" those people to a "temporary" shelter in HB.
Santa Ana actually just got done clearing the very encampment pictured. They have nowhere to send these people though and aren't willing to "put them out on the street". Sucks for their liberal politicians that created the problem in the first place.
Just to be clear, I support people with mental health issues getting help through projects like half-way homes etc. Last I read from the local newspapers, that's about 15% or less of this homeless population though. The vast majority are either criminals or drug addicts, or both(in this population subset). I have anecdotally known several people that lived there that conform to this. People who grew up with ample opportunities and wealth who prefer to spend their time smoking meth instead of anything else.

TIC poast on my part, of course. And I agree wholeheartedly. The "crisis" for places like Seattle is almost always self inflicted- i.e., if you give them stuff, they will come. Problem is in our society, we do a really shitty job of sorting out who truly needs a helping hand and who is a lazy fucking bum.

I figured but I gave it a sincere reply for the "audience" that might not know the intricacies of Orange County politics. Ontario(in Riverside County) had a decent response to their problem. Excerpted from another comment/forum [Ontario CA same problem. They interviewed them. Asked where are you from. They kept their residents that could prove they hailed from Ontario. The rest got bus tickets. If they could not provide proof they were given 30 days to acquire it. Then if they still had none they were required to leave the city.]
