    Because a lot of people are financially benefiting the longer people are homeless and the more people become homeless. The affordable housing complex industry is manipulating our society so that there is a huge demand for state-sponsored, taxpayer funded housing. Nonprofits, partners, and government agencies not only benefit from high salaries and retirements but act as a hub for profitable vendors in the homeless services industry.

    If I didn't know better, I'd think these charities don't actually care about helping people.

    It was destined for dump. The fact is a lot of that stuff was useful. Period.

    It was an illegal dumping. Put all of these people in prison.

    Probably a moving company that didn't get paid and coming up with a cover story.

    Every one talking in this story is like proper channels, very dangerous, they are not helping…. But if you put your resources here I can assure that we will sit around and discuss what the next steps should be

    "We didn't want it here you take it." There ain't nothing wrong with that. The cities mad because they didn't get the dumping fee, and this guy is mad because they're not making any money giving the items and do all this bonding or whatever. At the end of the day the city will actually punish the moving company and let the show go on at Skid Row.

    Shouldn’t the city be celebrating this? They’re doing more for the homeless than any politician
