Lolthat's 12% of the GDP you dumbo....plus you'll have to pay more for food, high tech and so much more....we might even PPV all the entertainment. You cons say the dumbest stuff.We need to give crazy Cali back to Mexico... Where it belongsI 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.Pohahaha bullshit...if most Californians are not even from Here how can 75% the homeless be from here?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.....
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 hunt and raise all my own food for me and my family, and who gives a fucking shit about Hollywood?
