We could actually address homelessness for about $20 billion a year, which amounts to like 0.5% of our annual budget. Haha. But we do spend about 1% of our annual budget ($47 billion) on affordable housing now. Just not for homeless. Would take another $20 billion.

They need to regulate the cost of rent, its insane

Giving people a structure in which to reside doesn't solve homelessness, it just extends their reliance on the state.

The problem in LA is real estate! They have to regulate the cost of living because it doesn’t offset to what people make. These real estate companies are the caused of homelessness

As someone who lives in LA. The homeless population has increased for the last 10 years.

Thank you! Finally. Reporting. 👍

They don't need shelters or services. They need to have more low income housing and stop builid g million dollar condos. Poverty and housing crisis create a homeless crisis.

Homelessness will increase if automation of jobs increase also. All people need to be mindful of how they shop such as going to stores instead of amazon, have the cashier help you instead of the machine. Comfort and conveniences taking away jobs and killing the ennvironment!

You can and should provide people with a shelter that allows them to get back on their feet. But getting back on your feet in California sounds like an absolute nightmare. The cost of living is out of control. They would be better off starting over in cities/towns/states that need workers.

But for anyone without work and who can freely move to another city perhaps they can be resettled in towns with high unemployment. If there are any. If there are too many in LA then perhaps we could build apartments in other towns where the homeless can be resettled in exchange for working in that town. That could grow the economy there and relieve the stress on LA?

First of all, why are you homeless? How many homeless have mental illness or drug issues that arent being attended to? Why build home access in a city where housing is beyond most average people cost wise? The city of LA could easily build a homeless complex outside the city, still in the country for literally a couple hundred thousands dollars and house half the homeless. But LA politicians do not want to fix the problem they just want the people gone. The most liberal state, highest cost of living, highest taxes, highest illegal immigrant levels, highest crime rates, and highest homeless rate...WHY?

In San Diego I have found countless times that homeless outreach organization volunteers, VA association workers, CA Mentor coordinators all live in nice homes with more than a few spare rooms. We even tested with a few people who were promised services by these organizations, and more often than not, the responses were untimely if there was a response at all. I don't know much about LA, but I'm sure there is an agenda to feed on the impoverished by opening organizations helping a few and pocketing the rest. I reckon Increased immigration will only spark a growth in these types of organizations and their behavior.

Immigration can work if it is LEGAL, comes in rational numbers, and is fair. It is reasonable for unemployed people to decry immigration without increased social welfare. This is the driving factor behind anti-migrant sentiment in the US. Simply rules such as denying welfare rights to the first two or three generations of migrants in exchange for increased welfare (for example, increased and extended unemployment insurance) would do so much to fix such resentments. Why those on the left and right are against these simple solutions are inexplicable. We could easily allow the migrants to agree to them in exchange for staying.They should be revenue neutral as well.

I have found that Americans who are worried about immigrants taking their jobs are not competitive in the job market in the first place. If you are worried about someone who doesn't speak english taking your job you need to reassess your job skills. I am more in favor of more immigrants to fill the needs of all these low wage jobs so those that are doing them have room to move up. Americans say they love free markets and competition until they have to change their behavior in order to compete. I think it's better to have people come live in America, grow the economy here, grow the tax base here, 2/3 of all economic activity is because of consumers. America's economic model is based on an ever expanding population and native born Americans are have fewer and fewer children. The unemployment rate is 3.7%(Sept 2018) there is a record number of unfilled jobs, 7.1 million. Baby Boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 a day. Immigrants are more likely to open businesses and employ more people than those born in the US. Now is the time to open immigration up. We can open immigration up without increasing funding for need based assistance, after all this is the best job market in nearly 50 years.
