“shelters” are one of the darkest and most pernicious propaganda lies in the US right now. “Shelters” my right testicle.

They built 50 sheds with a sleeping cot that can be occupied for a month before they’re required to leave, what more do you want?

It cost money to stay at our local shelter last I heard.

Yeah, many of them cost 20+ a night and the beds are so limited you have to line up hours before hand to even have a chance of getting in. And then when you do get in you have to deal with violent staff, cops, extremely restrictive rules, theft, and often bedbugs.

WTF shelters cost money? For 20 a night, save up and just get a motel room honestly, not that much more and you don’t have to deal with shelter BS. I would be sleeping in my car 5 nights a week and getting a motel 2 nights a week rather than spending money to go to a shitty place like that.

Sounds like it’s pretty much the same across the board then.

It’s not just California, but it’s crazy how much ammo the libs give fash (or even just fash energies within the completely apolitical) by steadfastly refusing to supply housing to homeless people.

Like they could enjoy a 1000-year reich if they would just build some dignified housing, but they’re constitutionally unable to do the one simple (and not even that expensive) task that will actually address homelessness.

in a state where every working class person is paying 50% of their income for a roof over their heads, hearing the democrats are giving free housing to “”“the undeserving poor”“” may not be so popular. or maybe it would, idk anymore.

That’s true, but homeless encampments are bad for property values
