The homeless issue is caused by people not living their supposed values. They'll say they want affordable housing and etc, until plans are made to include it in their own neighborhoods

So it’s hypocrisy?

Crazy Liberalism, with no actual plan.

The politics are so far to the left, the right, not the radical right, and the middle have no voice.

Systemic racism and classism. The rich, predominantly white elites living in California's vast suburbs have used exclusionary zoning laws to keep the lower class away from themselves, strangling the supply of housing and raising rents through the roof. This is especially bad in California because they're a tech hub with a lot of high skilled workers, who can bid a shit ton of money for limited apartments.
This vast ocean of suburban sprawl has, in turn, made public transit, walking, and biking infeasible throughout most of the state, which further hurts the state's impoverished population by forcing them to buy and maintain cars, which is very expensive.

@Spoiledbrat @OogieBoogie This is why we need re-education camps for NIMBYs.

Cause it’s a dump run by liberals. Allowing people to live on the street in front of buildings, shooting up and using the street as a toilet is why. You own a million dollar condo in San Fran only to walk outside and see needles laying around on the sidewalk- maybe that has something to do with it. Or maybe, the liberal politicians not allowing the cops to arrest people for shoplifting under $1000 dollars… Duh?!? If 10 people shoplift a day several hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise, how is that store going to survive? Zero common sense running that state.

Corruption, liberalism, democrats. The left can do whatever they want there without fear of being held accountable. Now the libs are promising 5 million per black person for slavery reparations, and California was not a slave state. Its a ploy to motivate the stupid to vote for a payday that will never come.
Bill1372 · 51-55, M
@TexChik - how would the government distinguish between which black people in this country are truly descendants of slaves first of all… Secondly, my family emigrated here in the early 1900’s so not sure why I should be paying taxes toward the evils committed by others well over a century ago. People basically want compensation for something that occurred 150-200 years ago, long before they were born. It’s actually the craziest idea I’ve ever heard of.

California is falling apart because the governor is an absolute idiot. If California washed out to sea wouldn't be a great loss.

@jackson55 I would still rather live among them than right-wingers. I’ve done both in my lifetime.

Holy shit. California is falling apart? So then one can buy a house in San Francisco for next to nothing, right?
bijouxbroussard · F
@Northwest Of course, the folks who live in "Klan-land" have to weigh in about "the liberals". 🙄

@empanadas I will say this about earthquakes: I’ve experienced 1 major earthquakes along with the small ones, in roughly 59 years, with very minimal property damage where I lived. My family that’s remained in Louisiana, on the other hand, deals with hurricanes and gets flooded pretty regularly.

I'm sure you've already made up your mind what the reason is, so I won't be participating in your little rigged poll.
