There's nothng hypothetical. Look at what and how California legislature/governor did with drug treatment centers. Those facilities are popping up in residential neighborhoods everywhere.this is free market capitalism
meanwhile we're complaining about hypothetical marxism
yea done careing about this sh!t. the city is never going to clean it up. I got my ass out of hollywood and into a hood with literally one homeless person and he's clean and just sits in the same spot all day not bothering anyone.the homeless encampment is on Jefferson...if it wasn't for the toll booth at Dockweiller it would
already be wrecked for sure. somehow they have kept them off imperial
it's fkn crazy
Venice beach is INSANE right now
one beached at Thornhill on Saturday morningSource?
Not trolling. Honestly curious.
what is the alternative?There's nothng hypothetical. Look at what and how California legislature/governor did with drug treatment centers. Those facilities are popping up in residential neighborhoods everywhere.
You really believe that there is not an alternative to solving the homeless problem other than destroying neighborhoods?what is the alternative?
My cousin in a VC Sheriff and is part of the task force. He gets the call when boats are found so they can figure out if it's drugs or people. The normally use TowBoats USA to retrieve the boats and tow them to the harbor. Apparently SB is getting it pretty good also.Source?

government subsidies = free market capitalism (!?)this is free market capitalism
Basically.The Fed runs the money pump and deposits the proceeds into large financial entities which buy rental properties with rent guarantees from the government. Free market?? Dumbest thing I've heard in a while. It's more like state capitalism/fascism.
Can you back that up? You're not known for reliable information, in my experience.It's what NYC did pre DeBlasio and they had greater than 97% of their homeless housed and services available to them.
Northern Goleta is a big spot for pangas because it's so close to 101 but you're screwed if they catch on. It might look good on a map but what are the chances when cops/feds/etc have a helicopter with infra red cams and you're running away from them on the Gaviota coast, like 10 miles from the nearest lightbulb!?!

The homeless problem has nothing to do with the homeless and no homeless are helped through current solutions. The homeless problem is a grift. Homeless are merely a prop used to dupe stupid voters into demanding the solutions offered to the homeless problem by the political class, to wit, "Build more housing." The political class takes this as an opportunity to do what they wanted to do which is run their grift. More homeless show up, voters demand more housing because they are told that's the solution, and the political class expands their grift. Currently, we're shunting $12 bn a year of state funds to these grifters and untold matching federal funds.
These voters can move, but the problem will only follow them. They are the problem, not the homeless. There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take 'em. Why shouldn't the politicians and local Swamp rob them if they're that dumb?

Here's one

your 90% solution is untenable based on supreme court rulings on loitering and vagrancyYou really believe that there is not an alternative to solving the homeless problem other than destroying neighborhoods?
The first and easiest is to arrest and charge the lifestyle homeless. That's got to be at least half and probably 90% of what's in Venice. Once you make it tough they leave. While doing that the police should also be smashing the street drug dealers, pimps, etc etc. Now all but the people in crisis will disperse. What's left gets housing and wrap around services. It's what NYC did pre DeBlasio and they had greater than 97% of their homeless housed and services available to them. California, being lawless and run by a state full of group thinkers doesn't have the contrast of ideas and there isn't a single person that believes that a single homeless person is anything other than a victim.
Pls it's only going to get worse with the Biden border crisis adding millions to the numbers every year.
A handful of years ago there was this one, about the same size with six 350s.“The panga boat, a 40-foot homemade craft equipped with three 300-horsepower Yamaha engines”...
I’m sure the build on that boat was chump change to it’s funding source as well. That would get you to todos or Cortes quick!
Yes..PC Wokenessyour 90% solution is untenable based on supreme court rulings on loitering and vagrancy
nice pie in the sky tough guy sh!t
there's a reason the problem has become intractable....how did they get to neighborhood homes?
that's probably a whole other legal/financial rats nest
I reject your juvenile "cops should be smashing" batman fantasy....there's a reason cities don't
pursue and charge these types of crimes.
Me too!!!lolI thought this was going to be about Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino closing their wave pool.
That was done years ago when the reduced the size of the wave.Me too!!!lol
