    Having lived in the city due to work, I probably know more about the issue than you.

    But that's what we do as voters, we expect the government to use our tax dollars to solve problems when we give it to them. And to be accountable for it.

    The government is you and me. Trouble is we’ve got too many people whining about it online and doing nothing to help (because really they don’t give a damn about the unhoused beyond using their suffering to score a few cheap political points).

    I care about community safety and getting people off the streets. Nobody wants people to suffer (unless you are an unhinged BigSoccer liberal who wants all conservatives to suffer and die of bad diseases because of political disagreement)

    Unhoused people living on streets is not safe, for them or for the community. And all the money we spent doesn't seem to have done much. Which means that as citizens and taxpayers, we are right to be asking questions.

    People are whining online or via email to their representatives because they want to know what is being done to solve the issue. And if the money isn't being used properly, then they need to be held accountable instead of just being brushed under the rug like you want to do. There's no chance you live in a place with as many homeless people as urban Californians do, and especially given that you are not a California taxpayer, you should just sit this one out.

    The more California has spent on the homeless problem, the more the population has grown. At some point it turns into enabling people if they know they can take advantage of the system.

    yes everyone would like this problem solved, let’s hear your plan for how we should be dealing with it.

    btw I was just a taxpayer there for the past 42 years, after arriving penniless and homeless. Thank-you to the good people of California for giving me a second chance at a better life!! I am eternally in your debt.

    And I still have plenty of family and friends there so will be back from time to time.
    I also spent a portion of my professional career working with this population directly, so it’s an issue I know a little about, even though that was several years ago now.

    Hold people accountable once they get off their feet if possible.

    As they point out, that may be workable in Houston where they have plenty of affordable housing available but CA has a shortage of affordable housing making it tougher, section 8 vouchers were hard to come by and county general fund dollars weren’t a reliable long term source for rent subsidies. They also talked about their housing first model which in my experience had serious limitations, once housed people often refused treatment and blew out, ending up back on the streets.

    That's the problem because the uniparty won't admit they got it all wrong. What country in the middle east has America made better?

    They are trying to raise the debt ceiling by $4T. Which is strange since DOGE saved so much money ….

    In a way , this is just standard GOP …. Talk about debt during campaign , cut taxes that benefit the rich , and have no plan to pay for it .

    Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, major grocery stores are all forecasting lower sales this summer due to the effects of the tariffs about to kick in.

    I deleveraged the risk on half my portfolio last Friday due to the insanity. I have a higher than average risk tolerance, and I'm still only in my early 40s, but I couldn't take it anymore.

    Trump is too insane. He's mad right now.
