LA Mayor @ericgarcetti does not care about those people. They care about clearing out the image of tents and druggies, trash and needles all over the streets when the Super Bowl guests arrive

Sacramento got absolutely wrecked by the Bay Area transplants. It's been terrible the last 4 years. Rent and housing has doubled.

#HousingFirst Housing first is the humane & necessary policy the USA needs to end homeless. "Continuum of care" is cruelty, coercion and control. Support Services (mental health, addiction etc.) should be offered & accessible but not imposed. youtube.com/watch?v=kbEavDqA…

What are some ideas? I want to see people explore/articulate ideas. I think we should build villages of eco friendly cottage houses & grant them to anyone who doesn't own another house. Tailor some villages to meet needs of people with severe issues with services on site.

And no in congress ever does a thing. Look at CA & the wealth. If homeless don't vote,politicians have no reason to provide help. Even working ppl homeless. Vets who served. Mentally ill who need help. Shame of the USA
