Wow. This is unbelievable, and I do not believe it will happen. We would all have to leave San Diego if we don’t live in gated communities. This would put a lot more people on the streets, with NOTHING to lose. They will be in our backyards, sleeping. They will be making more trash, parking on the street in burned out cars and living in them. They will be creating more chaos. I am not a proponent for welfare, but cutting it completely would result in a horrible backlash for the rest of us. It would be a horrifying scenario.
And, of course the solution to a problem, often creates another problem. In this case, I would suspect that we would find an increase in referrals to Child Welfare Services, thus, we would have to hire more workers, find more appropriate placements, and it would end up costing us more money. We would have to hire more police and other administrators to deal with the problem. This would actually increase government spending, make NO mistake about it.
It would be a good time to start a private security business. Perhaps, the government could start a security incentive program.
