San Francisco homeless man: 'they pay you to be homeless here'

Because of capitalism's intimate relationship to the schizophrenic process, OP's example is a typical schizoid, deception. This payment to the snowbird-welfare addict is an arrogant janus-faced apologetic, for what it gives with one hand, it takes away with the other.

'Moreover, if we are committed to overcoming economic injustice of capitalism, then redistribution cannot be an (end [italics]). Inequality, exploitation, and commodification cannot even in principle be overcome through redistribution of capitalist wealth, since the wealth itself is produced by unequal relations of production exploitation, and commodification. We need to grasp the contradiction inherent in capitalist production of wealth. The form of the (redistribution) argument is a contradiction in terms: it asserts that the problem is capitalism and that the solution is capitalism.'
(Haegglund, This Life, p. 383)

The LA musician who gave away tiny homes instantly made redundant the State's authoritarian status, instantly changed the class-difference status of the recipient, and instantly gave the recipient more social time, which capitalism exploits to mutate into a value form through labor, an extreme movement of violence. If only the addict could accomplish the tiny house on their own merits, the next problem facing them would be the real estate Pimp and the Pimp's cronies who work to maintain the status quo of class difference: legislators and building-code inspectors.
 
Hell the other 49 states should send all their homeless there then. Plus the weather is nice for being homeless.

It's a win win. Other states take care of their homeless and California gets shit on like they deserve.

Maybe we should start a movement to buy a homeless person in everyones city a bus ticket to California, one way.
 
Ironically, the ultimate solution to the homeless problem will be the confiscation of wealth. Forcing wealthy "progressives" to live among the masses is the only way to inject reality into their artificial bubble worlds. Otherwise, they will continue to pay their political tithes to charlatans who promise absolution from their nagging dysphoria.
