That’s super cheap rent for your own space, even if it is small. America needs to invest heavily in small studio apartments for the working homeless who can’t afford to live where they work. I currently average 3-4k a month, I need a studio that costs about $1000 otherwise I cannot comfortably afford rent. Cant even qualify for a basic studio with this income. Getting approved for roommate situations is also difficult and time consuming and often leads to drama. I’m telling you, as someone who is chronically homeless and is employed most of the time, this is the #1 solution to the housing crisis. Affordable apartments that pretty much any working citizen can comfortably afford and qualify for. Homeless shelters, insane asylums, halfway homes, etc is not what the homeless want. People just want their own small little oasis to call their own. Why else do you think so many homeless prefer a tent or car over the spider ridden, disease spreading homeless shelters?

It's all so needless. Finland has shown the way forward. We could eliminate homelessness if we really wanted to. Tiny houses, a bed, kitchen and bathroom are available for 25K each. For 1.25 billion we could house 50,000 people. What else has our gov't spend 1.25 billion on?

No problem seeing those SKY BLUE TENTS on a gloomy grey winter day as the winter harshness seems a bit better with that BLUE!!!! Plus it seems that 75 % of the so called """troublesome homeless""" are INSIDE QUIETLY in the tents== quiet because there NO ELECTRICITY for radios!!!!

This is going to keep happening as long as rents are too high. Build more g-d housing, drive rents down. NIMBYs need to learn that their desire for high property values are WHY these homeless camps keep popping up.

I agree that high rents are the basis of the problem. But that's due to LA being a strong magnet for every kind of person out there.

[@crazyralph6386]

Just look at the state of those tents, what do you think will happen to an apartment given to one of these people? I’ll tell you In less than one hour flat, they’ll have the entire drywall ripped apart and the copper piping stolen in order to pay for their next fix. This is exactly why there’s a ton of vacant rooms on East Hastings st, Vancouver Canada, since it requires drug testing and random searches to stay in one.

[@themessiha]

I’m not unsympathetic to the homeowners but what was the expectation when you cleared the encampment without providing any replacement to what they had? These are people, not leaves. People need shelter, access to food and hygiene products, transportation. All homes produce waste that must be transported. I’m not saying that all of these needs have to be met free of any charge to everyone, just that if not provided in some form somewhere else, people will attempt to do it themselves and the camps will return. Clearing them without a plan for afterwards is pointless.

What really upsets me about the reporting as you discuss homeless encampments as if they are the problem, not the fact that people are forced to live this way. Was just reading how very few get help when they were cleared out tell me that isn’t true. Many of the homeless are elderly and in severe pain or suffering from dementia they need a cozy bed and a cup of tea not to be treated like they are less than animals and talked about like they are trash.

[@stickman1742]

Many could live in shelters but they choose to live on the street instead. People are complaining about the government, particular California. No matter how you slice it, California is a very rich state yet they have all these homeless out on the streets. Supposedly such a caring govt, but they have the very rich and the starving poor living on the street. Hypocrisy seems very strong in the California govt. This is important to the entire country as California likes to be a showcase state on the future of Democrat rule. Can't say it looks very impressive. How could such a rich state be so poorly run?
