If I lived in Ca I would be pissed

[Papageorgio]

Pohahaha bullshit...if most Californians are not even from Here how can 75% the homeless be from here?
I live on the west side of LA around 75% white, anyone older than 30 I'll be shocked if they tell me they are from here most are feom different states....my wife was born here and she is 50 and she is like a treasure hardly anyone her age is from here.
Throughout the years I spoke to many homeless and we get tons of them due to the help they get....I can safely say 90% are white and 90% are from outside of California.
I always say the homeless problem in the west in general and specifically the US is a cultural problem, where family values are lost, selfishness is the main motor of society.

Its the weather. If it sucked, they would be somewhere else.

Again another myth. Only 13% of the homeless in California are from other states. California produces The vast majority of their homeless.

Wow, you defy logic. When I become homeless, I'm moving to where the weather sucks.

No, he's just stating facts. The fact that they don't conform to your paradigm is on you, not him.

Ha ha

Washington DC has the highest homeless population per-capita in the U.S. New York is second, you obviously have no grasp of what it means to be homeless.

[Tax Man]

I live in Burlingame in the SF peninsula. I get 14,000 dollars a year from SS. I live quite well on that.

You are a liar, the property taxes would eat up your 'modest' income, dude.

Prop 13 made it easy for me to pay my property taxes of 3, 800 a year.

You have property taxes of $3,800? And you live on $14,000 SS. So mommy and daddy must have left you with some cash and a house.

Or he may have bought the home in 1980, and by 2019 he had over a million dollars in equity. For a person who claims to be a thinker, your post(s) is (are) very funny.

He would of had to owned the home prior to 1978, once he sold Prop 13 would not apply, at least that is how I read it.

Prop 13 relates to every private property. The price you pay is your basis for tax increases. The state would love for me to move so they can get WAYYY more tax from the home.
When you have spent your life being frugal 14K is easy to live on. As for gas I have 2 feet and use them.

I'm not claiming otherwise, if you like living the way you do, I'm fine with that.

I was just trying to explain how I read prop 13. So, if you don't sell it is frozen at the price you paid and the state is only allowed to increase the value by 2% a year?

[Harry Dresden]

Wow, you sure seem to be hung up on my user name. With property taxes at $3,800, home insurance possibly around $2,700, that leaves $625/month, of course that doesn't include maybe $200/month for utilities, perhaps a car and car insurance. You ought to do some thinking on your own and quit whining about my user name....dumbass.

LOL, and if he had $1,000,000 + or more in equity he might have taken a reverse mortgage. Then he can pay for all of those items which you noted.

why would someone with a million in equity do a reverse mortgage?....

To pay for a lifestyle that anyone with a brain knows is impossible

well taxman did say he makes lots of money to pay for that gas...

There are three ways that taxman can live as he claims.

1. His mom's basement. Most likely

2. A cardboard box. Possible but not likely.

3. Mental health facility. Not likely. You have to have a brain first to need mental health intervention

to me he just sounds like a Californian who cant accept criticism of his state......i may have been that way back in the 70's....

There may be another option, the guy may have won a power ball lottery. Although lottery win or reverse mortgage, the guy wouldn't be living on $14,000/year.

40 million Californians dont care if you left or not. Millions did life goes on. It is still the best state, best economy, home to best of everything nothing changed.

thats because you refuse to look at the not so great part of the state....and maybe 30 years ago it was the best of everything,now its like i said....you refuse to acknowledge the negative things going on today which was nothing 30 years ago,but are major problems today....take the California flag out of your ass issa and take a look around,you might see many struggling to make ends meet,still many inland without jobs.....roads that need at least repair...homelessness increasing daily..... the list goes on...

Homelessness is a problem throughout the United States; I've not seen a study to prove CA has more per capita than other states.

The issue is not local politics, or of the State of CA's governance. It is the fault of The Congress which has not engaged in honest debates to reduce the numbers of this nationwide malady.

The War on Drugs is a failure, Mental health is not funded at a level necessary; thus the serious mentally ill end up in jails and prisons or left on the streets.

Drug addicts and alcoholics spend more time in jail than in treatment, they too add to the problem which cries for a solution, yet The Congress walks down the sidewalk and steps over those sleeping in doorways (metaphorically).

no but there are many here who think most of the homeless are from other states.....approx 75% of the homeless in and around LA are Californians.....

Pohahaha bullshit...if most Californians are not even from Here how can 75% the homeless be from here?
I live on the west side of LA around 75% white, anyone older than 30 I'll be shocked if they tell me they are from here most are feom different states....my wife was born here and she is 50 and she is like a treasure hardly anyone her age is from here.
Throughout the years I spoke to many homeless and we get tons of them due to the help they get....I can safely say 90% are white and 90% are from outside of California.
I always say the homeless problem in the west in general and specifically the US is a cultural problem, where family values are lost, selfishness is the main motor of society.

You can “safely” say? Again you are wrong and spout misinformation. The homeless do not flock to California due to the help they get, the help is no different than anywhere else. Secondly only 13% of the California homeless are from other states.

As California, Oregon and Washington are having large homeless issues, mainly from their own states. Look for what all three have in common.

Dispelling myths about California’s homeless
FTA:
Myth #1: California’s homeless are from somewhere else -- and moved here for the mild weather and social services.

Reality: Experts say this is one of the most common and inaccurate assumptions about homeless Californians.

"People when they become homeless, more often than not are from the community in which they’re living homeless," said Ben Avey, a spokesman with Sacramento Steps Forward, a nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness in the Capital City. "And they often move to the streets very near where they lived in the past. You may not recognize them. But they are members of your community."

Chris Martin, an expert on homeless policy for the nonprofit Housing California, added that the stereotype "is just not true."

Martin cited a study from May 2018 by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which found 75 percent of the people on the street in Los Angeles County had a home in that same county before they lost it. It also showed that 65 percent of the unsheltered homeless had lived in that county for at least 20 years. Only 13 percent were from out of state.

I would love to believe the numbers....but my city is known to be one of the most generous cities towards the homeless and I've known and spoke to hundreds of homeless people most and I can safely say are from out of state/City.....heck even other citizens most are from other states....my wife who is 50 and was born is a rare find and we always joke about it especially if someone else tells us he was born here. California is immigration magnet internationally, nationally and even for the homeless. Blaming California for the homeless is cowardly, because those in the streets are Americans who have mental, drug and other issues and many are veterans.
