In your opinion why are there so many homeless people in LA and San Francisco ?

In Alameda County, the number of homeless residents jumped 43 percent over the past two years. In Orange County, that number was 42 percent. Kern County volunteers surveying the region’s homeless population found a 50 percent increase over 2018. San Francisco notched a 17 percent increase since 2017.

And on Tuesday, Los Angeles officials released the results of their most recent count: Homelessness was up by 12 percent over last year in the county and up 16 percent in the City of Los Angeles.

That puts L.A. County’s homeless population at 58,936 and the city’s at 36,300.

Because of such restrictive Gun Laws, In California, no one has taken a shot at them yet!

Pepper a few cardboard "houses" or tarps with Birdshot and those sidewalks will be empty for blocks the next night!

@Valerian If the laws were lax, the homeless would have guns themselves.

@QuixoticSoul All the better to allow concealed carry!

And the "Homeless" (Bums) having such great respect for the LAW,
don't steal $600 shopping carts, don't do illegal drug, don't sleep on the sidewalk, don't shit in the park by the swingset, don't beg for money, don't knife each other, don't shoplift, don't loiter, or Anything else Against The LAW!
