If I park in front of a fire hydrant, I get a ticket and towed. Why are they allowing this?

[@Paiadakine]

If I park my Motorhome in from of my house to load up for a trip without a permit I get fined.

[@midlifemotox]

@@Paiadakine Thats because you are responsible and play by the rules. These assholes have nothing, so they have nothing to loose. They should be rounded up and put in a fenced encampment in the desert. The billions of dollars being put into the "homeless" problem is a joke. Lot's of people getting rich on that one. They will never be an asset to society. I'm so done with the feel good woke BS.

[@Paiadakine]

@@midlifemotox I just read Calif allocated $10B for the homeless problem these last three years. Not sure how much was state and how much was fed money but it’s all taxes we paid. I sure can’t see where that money went. What a waste.

[@midlifemotox]

@@Paiadakine I'm going to do the math. What is the homeless population vs how many Billions of dollars are being spent. You could probably make each homeless person a millionaire at this rate. If you made a dollar a second,, it takes 12 days to make a million. To make a billion it takes 32 years. People don't conceive how much money that actually is. I drive down the streets in Burbank and it's all good. As soon as I cross into North Hollywood, it like the zombie land. Los Angeles county politicians are useless...

I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help. No housing is available except for shelters, which I can't do. I have cats and work late and need my privacy. What's the solution for us? I'm already doing everything I can, and I can't afford to move. I recently tried getting a janitorial job to get back onto my feet, but then I got fired over too many homelessness related problems, ironically. Now I'm back to doing Uber/Lyft/Instacart until my car breaks again. Passengers with luggage hate getting me as their driver. My car is filled with important personal belongings that I can't keep in the RV because they aren't safe there. I don't know what I'm going to do once my car breaks again. The car is a lemon. I already put my dad over $3k into debt for the last transmission rebuild. In addition to over a year's worth in missed car payments, since I fell into homelessness. He can't help me again. I haven't even paid him back for last time yet. I just feel like giving up on society and turning to crime. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody cares anyway.

Fentanyl is destroying our society slowly but steadily. They are adding rat poison, horse tranquilizer, sedative benzo, wasp dope, nitazene chemicals into pills street homeless smoke all day long. They reject help, rehab, treatment programs, shelters, they simply reject all of it.

@@lutomson3496 there is no recreational drugs use any longer with fentanyl around. If you flirting with drugs even just marijuana, you are extremely likely to end up smoking fentanyl without even realizing it which would be your death sentence. Heroin addicts used to hit the rock bottom and change their lives by going to detox and rehab. The rock bottom for fentanyl and modern synthetic drugs addicts is nothing else but do miserable death ☠️💀⚰️

Too many excuses by homeless who call themselves "human". My view is: IF they don't show civility & cleanliness, don't worry about their sob stories that they've long used to get away.

I'm paying rent to live in one of these RVs. I work. I'm not on drugs. I just have a lot of bad luck and debt and car problems. I can't afford to rent proper housing at these current prices. Plus I have an eviction on my record from after when my mom died of cancer. I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help.

[@duckmercy11]

How can you show cleanliness if you live in the street? Dumb comment.

People who are homeless trying to get on they know the homelessness issue is way more than a shelter for a few nights wtf .

[@Network126]

I'm paying $400/mo to rent one of these RVs from some guy I found on Facebook marketplace because I couldn't find anything else affordable. There's no electricity or running water. It's dark and cold at night. I work. I'm not on drugs. I'm not mentally ill. I've just have a lot of bad luck and debt and car problems since covid. I can't afford to rent proper housing at these current prices. Plus I have an eviction on my record from after when my mom died of cancer. I've spoken with cops and housing program workers but nobody can seem to help. No housing is available except for shelters, which I can't do. I have cats and work late and need my privacy. What's the solution for us? I'm already doing everything I can, and I can't afford to move. I recently tried getting a janitorial job to get back onto my feet, but then I got fired over too many homelessness related problems, ironically. Now I'm back to doing Uber/Lyft/Instacart until my car breaks again. Passengers with luggage hate getting me as their driver. My car is filled with important personal belongings that I can't keep in the RV because they aren't safe there. I don't know what I'm going to do once my car breaks again. The car is a lemon. I already put my dad over $3k into debt for the last transmission rebuild. In addition to over a year's worth in missed car payments, since I fell into homelessness. He can't help me again. I haven't even paid him back for last time yet. I just feel like giving up on society and turning to crime. Why do I even bother anymore? Nobody cares anyway. I'm sick of begging and suffering everyday and getting nowhere.

I blame this on the large real estate investors and the bankers for making it incredibly difficult for people to purchase a home.

[@SteviePaints]

The problem is drugs and welfare. Before the mid-1960s and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, we didn’t have problems to this degree. Politicians have created these problems. Why do you think our southern border is wide open? Because there is big money in allowing drugs and human trafficking to come across.

No it’s the corrupt non profits. Where did the 6 BILLION spent on homeless go? The CEO’s of these non profits make $800,000 a year and hold high level positions in CA government. It’s literally a homeless industrial complex.

Also, when you spend few $$ to buy a piece of land in the middle of the desert (Off Grid) and you are not allowed to stay with your RV to live or just to build a shed big enough (off Grid) to live decently that is better than to be in the street for years ! isn't it so stupid too ? You are living in a RV for years (I am not talking about a trash RV) and you decide to place your RV and live in the middle of nowhere, and you cannot !! really. When in the meantime, all counties have piece of land using as junk field for useless, obsolete vehicles or tools !!!! in the same zoning where your land is located !!!
