The city needs to be held accountable for allowing this sprawling squalor.

What is Martin v Boise decision? The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. It did not necessarily mean a city cannot enforce any restrictions on camping on public property.

I had a similar problem. Homeless people were breaking into apartments and camping outside the apartment building, so my wife didn’t feel safe. We asked the landlord if they own other properties. Luckily, the landlord owned 5 other properties. They worked with us, so we moved into another property owned by the landlord in a safer neighborhood.

If they allow this to get out of hand there will be no more safe neighborhoods. Imagine what this state or anyone's state would look like if half the population lived on streets, in cars, vans and Rvs because they could not afford the rent. Maybe the WEF wants the world to look like one big Mad Max movie. The rich can hire private security for protection but everyone else will be poor where there is no middle and upper class people. Like they say " people will own nothing and be happy." Well that is if no one is willing to fight for freedom and only obey like little puppies.

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

To balance out your real estate holdings, I suggest investing in equities. If you're cautious, even the worst recessions can present fantastic buying opportunities. Additionally, volatility can produce fantastic short-term purchase and sell opportunities. This is not financial advise, but you should buy immediately away because money isn't king right now!

I consider myself to be a humanitarian but this situation is out of control. Those that have fallen on hard times can and do seek space in the shelters. But those that want to do drugs all day, poop in public and steal stuff will never go into the shelters willingly. Frankly, we should not have to tolerate that second group. We need to empower the courts to force them into rehabs. Enough is enough.

How about the other small towns and rural areas? California is a big state. I had relatives who lived there long ago. I haven't been there in years. I am just wondering how these smaller population areas are doing. I know CA has a big economic structure. I believe their economy is larger than some small nations. If some areas of CA are doing better and don't have these problems, what are they doing differently? BTW, I worked in the educational system in Houston for years and helped a lot of at-risk students get through high school and then go on to community college. So I get that this is a complex problem. If people want to make it out of homelessness, they need shelter but also transportation to a job. This usually means some kind of vehicle plus gas money and money for repairs (meaning they have to have a bank account and be saving up for unexpected expenses.) Banks charge fees if you don't keep a minimum balance. So there's another expense. Then if you have a felony on your record (and it can be easier to have a felony than you think), you are really dead in the water. Apartments often won't rent to you and no one wants to hire you. I have wondered if a non-profit could run a "workshop" making simple products so that people could get some work experience to put on a resume. Maybe a bus could pick up people and bring them to work and there would be showers and basic medical care onsite, maybe drug and alcohol counselling. I know that these types of workshops were used at one point to employ mentally-challenged individuals. Could something like this be done with homeless people? Of course, if an individual is truly stuck in addiction or simply doesn't want to follow any rules (and there are a few of those), then you really can't help them. However, I don't feel you have to allow camping on the street. Ugly as it is, about all you can do is provide an area outside of town, maybe put in a portable toilet and do garbage pickup, and that's about it. I guess my philosophy is help those who will take the help but realize a certain portion are going to go their own way. An ugly fact but a realistic one. They don't have the right to just camp anywhere.

Sadly, nowadays street homeless are drugs addicts, and they are addicted to cocktail of nasty chemicals such as fentanyl, horse tranquilizer, elephant tranquilizer, sedative benzo, rat poison, nitazenes chemicals, P2P based meth, wasp dope, and other nasty stuff. That is in the pills they smoke all day long. They are quickly damaged mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. If they are aggressive, screaming, talking gibberish, talking to imaginary people, they are on meth and wasp dope. One dosage of P2P based meth causes paranoia and schizophrenia after only one dosage. How do they afford drugs? They steal from stores various items such as tools, baby stuff, hygiene products, and such and sell for little just to get next fentanyl pill. It is an extreme addiction with extreme anxieties. They call it boosting.

I been attacked 3 times living in East Village in the past 5 years. The last one I got hit from behind by a crazy person and was rushed to the ER in an ambulance. The cops did nothing, they issued a citation to the crazy person that attacked me from behind and the City Attorney refused to press charges. I called them for a year and they finally returned my call a day after the one year statute of limitations to file charges ended asking me how they could help me. Absolutely ridiculous! Two weeks ago I went to the post office and a crazy man comes rushing out of a camping tent chasing me with a crack pipe and a gas torch in his hand, I literally ran to the middle of the street as cops were passing by and I flagged them down, the cops waved at me, laughed, saw what was happening and kept driving. I called SDPD to report them and when they found out why I was calling they put me on hold for 2 hours on the phone and then hung up. That's SDPD for you. But you will see them taking naps while on duty around the community college and other quiet areas. Why are we paying their salaries for?

People don’t generally become addicts out of boredom. They’re usually trying to escape some kind of pain. It may start out as a bad choice but before long it is basically a medical situation. Asking addicts to “just stop” may sound reasonable but it’s not like the world just offers a hand up once you make that move. It is extremely difficult to make that transition. Many of the people who speak so casually about it don’t have the willpower to do it themselves. It serves societies interest to rehabilitate these people. Prisons are not humane or cost effective.

It seems like the crisis multiplies at least ten times each passing year. I love California, beautiful state but you couldn't pay me or give me a vacation to go into any of those areas.

San Diego is the perfect place for homeless to be all over the place. I am surprised this huge crisis didn't happen sooner because the weather is not bad and the homeless can survive out there because it doesn't really get that cold at night expect for a few weeks during the holidays. The beaches from Mexico to Ventura are literally riddled with homeless. It makes a bad experience for people that want to visit beaches. You are either hit up for money or the benches are dirty or there is garbage or other nuisances all over the place. For example, free parking structures tend to smell like urine. They basically take over the best areas of the City that people go to get away.

I thought out my plan and then went back and asked her if she was in trouble. She nodded "yes" and then briefly told me her name and that she was an artist. She had come down from Northern California and thought she could find housing (am thinking some sort of agency help with finding shelter). I don't know anything about how she wound up her situation but she could have left an abusive partner and had to come up with some sort of plan quickly (she came down from another extremely expensive town on the California coast), she could have reached the end of the line economically in Northern California and thought she could fix her situation better in San Diego, or I don't know what. All I knew is that I couldn't bear the thought of a woman in her mid to late 40s, maybe early 50s, sitting out on a curb in the dark and the cold alone all night. I got her a room at the Hilton across the street. At least she had a warm room, a nice bathroom, and a lock on the door from around 6:30pm to 11am. Unfortunately, that was a god send to her that night but what happens after? The receptionist at the Hilton told me San Diego is notorious for not having enough shelter space or housing for people in this woman's situation. The woman did not in the least come across as mentally ill and she wasn't on drugs. If she has to live on the streets for an extended period of time, she will come across like that to most.

California will pretty much always have a homeless problem, because if you are homeless elsewhere in the US, you likely eventually get yourself a bus ticket to CA - for the better weather, better services, richer dense areas, and that CA doesn’t make laws meant to drive the homeless elsewhere, like many Red states. So CA is constantly absorbing more homeless from across the US, and will always have its services stretched with no easy answers. And if you think….just provide a place to live for a while and a job,….it is often tricker than that. People who are homeless vary hugely….some are incredibly hard-working and conscientious but who had medical issues or other economic setbacks, some have schizophrenia or other severe neuropsych issues, some have addictions, and some are those who have a kind of aversion to any kind of rule or requirement, seeing it as “control” or impinging on their valued personal freedom. I once saw a colleague work hard to get a homeless person their “dream” job….taking care of plants at a large garden center, which took hours of work on the co-workers part, to find one nearby, convince the boss, arrange transportation, etc. The person did well for 5 days, then quit, saying “everything was great, but God has something different planned for me.” Or in an ER I once spent an hour contacting shelters for a patient, who agreed to the last one but said they needed transportation. I said I would get the cab voucher and be back in 5 minutes, they were very polite and seemed happy to have the bed, but when I returned after the few minutes to grab the cab voucher….their bed was empty….the security staff said “they got their stuff and left.”

Have no sympathy for the current residents of CA (used to live in San Diego and San Francisco. Glad I left years ago, best decision I ever made.
