other states shuttle people here and drop them off! if you actually take the time to ask an unhoused person where they're from, they're always from a different state. they get dropped off here with no help or resources

This is ALL correct. But it’s WILDLY missing the point. The point is the homelessness that we have that makes it a problem here where it isn’t a problem elsewhere is MENTAL HEALTH and substance abuse. You can give all the money, love, housing, support systems, etc you want to the problem, but if someone does not want to live in a house, what the fuck do we do with that? THATS the problem.

What pisses me off the most is that the conversation about homelessness is completely framed wrong and misses the main reason why it exists. Rents in Hollywood and Los Angeles, used to be $1000 for a one bedroom Apartment NOT THAT LONG AGO. now they're twenty five hundred.

its annoying that homelessness is framed as a city of LA thing. its not, its a national issue that just happens to be more apparent in LA

Homelessness here is SO complicated here. When I found out a lot of the homeless is not from here… I was like..you gotta be kidding.

Yeah. Skid row has a lot of infrastructure for homeless people and is near Union Station so they often end up there. But all that help also attracts dealers and people who want to take advantage of the population so it becomes a vicious cycle. Also, not everyone wants help. Not to say that population is beyond help, but we do need to fix the problems upstream like drug use and housing affordability that lead people there.

Southern California has an affordable housing crisis, I worked full time and lived in my car in LA because I couldn't afford rent.

One huge branch of this topic, which I think you touched on tangentially, but did not really address directly, is the actual vacancy rate and lack of building enough housing since the 1970s. Even if people think that it is not our responsibility to provide money so that unhoused people can survive, it *is* the government’s responsibility to build enough housing when there is such high demand, that it doesn’t become so expensive due to scarcity, that it becomes very easy for people to fall into homelessness.

I say teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime. I don’t think we should just be giving free handouts to everyone

i just don’t get how people don’t realize that they themselves are one major medical emergency or loss of a paycheck away from being someone who is struggling for a home like this or jobs or anything else. Why not set things up to make it easier and helpful for people already struggling but also what could help us if we also get to that point? It’s complicated sure, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Adding to the historical context of CA that this used to be Mexico. Idk how that impacted the ethos but it certainly did

You can use white Christianity as an example for cultures that don’t have the “all human beings are deserving of god’s love” ethos

I'd say the hippie movement in the 70s and San Fran attributes to the idea of love is love / love everybody
