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.

California's 'rich and happening' reputation draws many. They can only expect skin cancer- and having to drink recycled sewage.

@Valerian American propaganda: Go west, young man. We could also see it as a glimpse of Trump making America great.

@Success That's fine with me!

I wish our Panhandlers would move on West,
but we haven't had enough Hurricanes on the Gulf Coast this year!
