Collapse in Los Angeles - this is Devastating! and getting worse.

Let's keep politics OUT of this. PEOPLE this is our WORLD... look at what is happening. We as humans can stop this by CHANGING OUR WORLD.

Laws have to be changed and just voting and fighting in courts, and homeless people need a way to have a fair life.

Will money for all in "basic income" stop this homelessness?

WE ARE THE GOD THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR NO ONE IS GOING TO SAVE YOU, BUT YOU...

Here is a very happy story I wanted to share!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74882213


How in the blue fuck do you expect to do that?

POLITICS of libtard utopian scumbags is what is the root cause of this shithole mess!

Until that is under control.. none of this will be!!!!!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1311112



A major reason things are spinning out of control in today's America is because too many of us not only avoid pinpointing the political biases of one another, we sure as hell never say something along the lines of, "Why the hell are you so liberal/leftwing? Where the fuck did your logic, common sense, honesty, ethics and compassion go??!!"

People of the left, because they believe mindless default liberalism somehow is a reflection of people's better angels, have ended up wrecking places like LA, SF, California, Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Detroit, etc. That's why liberals/leftists/progressives can easily be among the most irresponsible, hypocritical, inhumane people in a society.

 Quoting: CSnow



I live i a beautiful liberal city in the Us although some will say more conservative .


......in this city there are rules.....and developers .
There is some benefit to local community ,

But looks nothing like it’s former self... that looks a lot like what these other cities look like ,

Baltimore needs a 3rd economy to lift itself , the immigrant

California is where America’s shame goes to live to sustain recover
Amnesty city for homeless Americans


So what you say doesn’t make sense

a city too expensive won’t harbor as many homeless
Especially ifs not hospitable and warm like California

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74882213


Los Angeles and California generally want to be a separate country.

So I don't want to be bailed-in to pay a penny for their problems. LA has a nice climate so they should be OK. California, take care of your people!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77610284


The amount of outgoing federal taxes paid by California tremendously exceeds the federal assistance coming in. California is subsidizing the red states and taking in all national homeless problems. If California leaves do you know how much GDP goes down in the US? At least 13%. It’s the 5th largest economy in the world. Lol to those asking for California to leave! Buwahhahah silly little brats
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77470462


Nah, I'm not asking them to leave. I wouldn't let them leave. That coastline is far too valuable. If they try to leave the US military will disabuse them of any such notions.

But they're not cooperating with federal policy. That has a price.

They are fine! Diversity is their strength! Los Angeles is a shining example to the rest of us as to how to run our cities. Only San Francisco and Portland are anywhere close as enlighted woke model cities.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69766872


No correlation between Diversity and homelessness since 90% homeless is white. It goes beyond any city can fathom. It’s the breakdown of family support, war vets, drugs, cost of living, lost of hope.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77470462

Diversity leads to a breakdown in social insurance. Nobody wants to provide benefits for other races. Certainly nonwhites generally love to see whites suffer (if you tape them secretly) so they won't help. And now that whites are learning what others think of them, their "Christian compassion" is turning more like "I am not a cuck or a sucker."

Well, now there is a new [to me] idea, not yet heard of!!!

Aside from the Agriculture that exists there, how much more matters there that America needs or wants.

Even on the Agricultural Aspect of things, we might even save money by using Mexican workers / wages, thus saving money on produce???

Anyway, that just sparked some interest, not bad Katipo!

This is the communist plan, OP.

They intend to do this to the entire country, then openly blame capitalism.

They have even outright stated this goal.

You are watching a controlled demolition of society, and they want as many people displaced, sick, and dead as they can manage. They want local small businesses to go under, and food prices to rise.

What you see in California, Baltimore, Chicago, et al is what they have planned for all of America.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77837750

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73506449


The People voted for Trump, with the hope that he would be able to root the commie corruption out of the top offices in the nation.

Some are gone, but it is just the tip of the iceberg.

If he fails, I am fairly certain there will be a civil war.

It is not as if billions of taxpayer dollars are not poured into EACH similar city (see Baltimore...and the "missing" billions) every year, year after year.

And things keep getting worse. Abd tge money always seems to vaporize into politician-run "non-profits".

They live in 6 mansions, and you get to live in a rat-infested hellhole.

Welcome to communism, as it has always manifested.

You apply racial concepts to what ails us but sidestep the issue of the sociopolitical liberalism that has seized much of America the way Ebola possesses a human body.

If diversity could exist within the framework of a culturally, politically conservative society, "diversity" would fall way down the scale of importance.

Re: Collapse in Los Angeles - Happening NOW
I have worked as a volunteer in feeding homeless people for over 30 years. Not in LA, in Florida. The situation in LA may be political. But here, it’s poverty brought on by poor choices from a variety of causes, drug and alcohol addictions, low IQ, mental illness.

People only choose to be homeless, when they don’t want to be in rehab, detox, jail or in a shelter with other homeless people because the company is pretty undesirable.

Folks who have made bad choices because of drugs, alcohol and mental illness have the ability to make better choices and get help from public programs.

Sometimes they have the misfortune of having more children for whom they can provide and the inability because of above bad choices to work or jump through the hoops of public services and their children are innocent victims in a bad situation.

If you have been in prison because of bad choices, your chances for homelessness are increased, if you don’t speak English, same.

If you are dumber than a box of rocks, it’s bad choices you can’t do much about.

But, the single most common reason for homelessness in the population I have served is lack of family or friend support. No homeless person I’ve met isn’t hoping someone they know will take them in. They either have alienated (used up) their family and friends or moved away from them and lack resources to get back home.

When you’re homeless, the series of unlucky events that make for a usual bad day...like you miss the bus, loose a job, become sick or hurt can become a dire event.

I feel really sad for their situation. I used to be a liberal democrat until I grew up and became not one. Life is hard at some point for everyone. People born with obvious disabilities (name any you like) are at a distinct risk for homelessness unless they have a caring and responsible family.

I don’t have a solution. Help where you can, but don’t be naive. A statue of Buddha, Jesus, or Stalin ain’t going to make the difference, I’m sure of that.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42477417


The biggest issue is the "SYSTEM" of TOTAL CORRUPTION against the people. We have a "SYSTEM" of slavery to the banksters and most everything is corrupt including our so-called Court system. It is a no wonder why we have society breakdown. Who really believes this should be life???

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77936623


No, it was not a Vietnamese. They came later and helped with building a shrine around it and they still help with regular clean-ups of the area. From the article:
"Dan Stevenson, who is a resident of Oakland, says that after making countless calls to the local public works department, he had grown sick and tired of the litter and dubious dealings.

“A lot of graffiti, a lot of urination and drug use kind of thing,” Stevenson told PRI. “Mattresses, tables — just junk, just continual junk.”

Despite not being a religious person, Stevenson was eventually inspired to attach a two-foot high statue of Buddha to a rock in the median strip of the intersection. He hoped that its religious influence would help to “shift the energy” of the neighborhood."

Just look at the math,

650 million LA spent last year to fight homelessness.

With that money, they could have relocated them to abandoned villages, gave them some lands to farm. Year by year, the number would go down.
