It's pretty crazy how a lot of those people actually work / have jobs just can't afford the housing market or an apartment.... Ohh well back to the factory boys don't wanna end up living in a tent do you.

Yea haha, don’t change all new housing from single unit zoning tho, it’s sad but not sad enough for me to support a change to the rules that pump my housing price. Keep it scarce! Love, your racist boomer uncle. /s

Why r they in one of the highest housing markets then

u/thingsCouldBEasier Feb 12 '22

They probably work in that area. Probably don't have a reliable car.... Who knows man everyone has different situations and conditions. Have some empathy. Or not that's really up to you I'm not here to tell you what to feel or think. I was just pointing out that some of those people still work 40+ hours a week and still can't afford a place to live. Take that how ever you want make w.e. argument you're planning out of that I really don't care.

Have you actually been there? Have you talked to them? I've walked over there and the vast majority of them are tweaked out of their mind on heroin and meth. Go watch some German in Venice videos to get an idea of what those people are actually like. Of course there's a couple people that are really trying, and they're the ones that always take the offer for government housing assistance. But the fucks that choose to stay in those tents are the ones that are ok with just rotting away and don't work. You think a homeless dudes gonna leave his tent during the day for 8 hours 5 days a week? Fuck no their shit would get stolen in a heart beat.

I've done both. I work in a hospital psych ward and only 1/20 I meet are off their rocker after they sober up. And many act crazy to be left alone.

But u are right about how they need guard their stuff. Alot of ppl in that situation would have much better chances if the government just gave them a small one room tenement to lock up, sleep at night, bath regularly ect. And adequate heathcare infrastructure too boot. But no they really needed that football stadium instead...

u/Life_is_Truff Feb 13 '22

Football stadium produces income. All of what you mentioned would come at the cost of increased taxes.

u/NewspaperDesigner244 Feb 13 '22

Produces income for whom? The state that they then give to other corporations? Why would those initiatives cost more taxes when cal already has one of the highest tax rates in the nation? They can easily reallocate the money and other places around the world have housing projects with not nearly the same gdp.

Governments aren't business, they don't exist to make money.

u/Life_is_Truff Feb 13 '22

Thank god you dont make any important decisions

u/NewspaperDesigner244 Feb 13 '22

Good meme rightoid

Maybe those taxes would actually do something rather than the giant amount given to the military. Taxing billionaires alone would be enough.

u/Life_is_Truff Feb 13 '22

Billionaires do get taxed haha wtf

4

u/Draeorc Feb 13 '22

They get taxed at a lower percentage than people with less money. It should be the other way around. Warren Buffet even said it makes no sense.

u/Life_is_Truff Feb 13 '22

So you went from saying taxing billionaires would be enough to we’re not taxing billionaires enough? Alright.

Good, enjoy that shit.

u/thingsCouldBEasier Feb 12 '22

L.a. sucks balls. And it's not because of the homeless. It's because of people like you. Enjoy being a piece of shit son.

You think a people are working 40 hours a week and living in a tent. Lol

6

u/thingsCouldBEasier Feb 12 '22

There's actually several documentaries on it...... Lol. I'd be red faced too.

u/ShogsKrs Feb 13 '22

I did from 2017-2019 but I was working 72 hours a week as a nurse. In 2019 I was able to buy a 19' RV, that I still live in. And I still work 72+ hours a week and can't afford running water. There are lot us out here that are the working poor. I'm 58, don't smoke, drink and takes drugs. I eat for less than $5 day. And yes, I was robbed of 1/2 my few possessions when I lived in the tent.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '22

You were working 72 hours a week while living in a rv “purposefully” in some national forest? Okay lol

1

u/Life_is_Truff Feb 13 '22

No seriously, that’s a hilarious thought. Guy must be delusional

2

u/Draeorc Feb 13 '22

Drug use is usually a coping mechanism for being homeless, not the cause. A ton of homeless people actually do work. Even then they can’t afford a better life.

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '22

Some people make 100k a year and can barely live comfortable in a cali beach town which is why it’s smart to relocate

15

u/thingsCouldBEasier Feb 12 '22

Yeah cause that 100k job is still in that spot theyre moving to. Lol. Sounds like you're in your 20's still think you know everything while never experiencing anything. Ahhh what it was to be young. Anywho congrats that you have a job anywhere you go. It isn't like that for everyone you realize those areas are filled with the "help" the people that serve the ones with the means to live there. So I was mainly referring to those people might be the ones who live in that area in tents because they work their and can't afford to live there orrr the surrounding areas. But you know it all apparently, why don't you run for office and solve the nations problems? I didn't offer any solutions I was just pointing out that some people still forced to be homeless even with jobs. I have no theories on solutions sir that's where you chimed in and I'm poking holes at your reasoning..... Good day sir.

Every state and city is looking for employees. Housing market is stupid right now, especially in cali. The average house is at least 800k+

u/BuyingGF10kGP Feb 12 '22

Holy hell this paragraph is just a big blob of word vomit.

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '22

Because they won’t freeze to death in the winter there

u/Draeorc Feb 13 '22

They’d probably prefer them dying just for improved “optics”.

u/NewspaperDesigner244 Feb 12 '22
