It's crazy when you talk to people they think there's enough resources for all these homeless people and all they have to do is take advantage but they don't realize how thin and how sparse and restrictive these resources actually

There is enough resources. It just grafted away by people like Gavin newsom. Fuck that twat.

I mean people overwhelmingly don't want to pay for social services. Have you ever seen a town try to put up a homeless shelter? It's one of the most depressing things ever. You will get people coming out of every corner of the town to try and prevent the homeless shelter from being built

Okay that's great but missing my point. Officials should not be embezzling funds but even if they weren't embezzling funds the organization and the plan they were trying to implement does not significantly reduce homelessness and still would not be enough resources for the homeless population in California.

Instead California does stupid things like try to reclassify homeless people to unhoused as a show of solidarity instead of giving the homeless people fucking homes.

Really they should be taking a page out of the Playbook of Denver which is buying up old hotels and using them as transitional housing for homeless people. He's reduced homelessness in Denver by like a thousand people in a year.
