[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=The-Shoveler]Give out $300-$700 cash to each homeless person monthly, pass out food, medical help.
Pass laws so no one can stop you from sleeping anywhere in the city of LA.
etc.. there are a lot of incentives to move to California if you are homeless vs other states.
Add in good weather and you become a magnet for the homeless.[/quote]
Still researching, but a cursory google search of reddit, quora, on people answering “what’s the best place to be homeless”, CA isn’t a clear first choice.
Some other places actually give living places to the homeless.
“free food” doesn’t sound unique to CA, most states don’t want people to starve. I don’t think that qualifies as “red carpet treatment”.
Free medical care? would people travel 1000 miles for a shot clinic or a free clinic to bandage some ulcers?
I
still searching, but someone in another forum referenced a paper on the “myth” of hordes of out of staters coming to CA for “great benefits”. It might be that the overwhelming majority of homeless are basically locals with no helpful social network.
when I think “red carpet, I think of more than a homeless shelter, $300 and a soupkitchen.[/quote]
Actually Scardey.. I know of folks that have applied for federal assistance section 8 housing in CA and they are still on the waitlist going 4-5 years. However, if you first move to a state like Mississippi and apply, you’ll be able to get it fairly quickly..
. And then if you move back to CA , the subsidy follows you….
I won’t even talk about medical/food subsidies and the difficulty of US citizens who really need them residing in CA getting them and the wait list associated with that…. And yet our stupid politicians and stupid progressive fvcktards would rather talk about the plight of migrants..It has nothing to do with lack of empathy of migrants. It has everything to do with we can’t even take care of people who were born in this country who have no place else to go. It was a definite eye opener …
