Medieval Diseases Are Infecting California’s Homeless

Even when Democrat strongholds are turning into rat invested sh!tholes one after another, it is either somehow still the right's fault or the right would do it if they were in charge

I thought Trump was fixing America.

The CA coastal belt is run by the dems just for the record, it only becomes rep with the inland counties. Cost in the coastal areas can be 4 times higher than inland, the place is fsck expensive compared to the rest of the us and housing is in high demand.

Should just pay them to leave like New York....

New York City generously shares its homeless crisis with every corner of America.


From the tropical shores of Honolulu and Puerto Rico, to the badlands of Utah and backwaters of Louisiana, the Big Apple has sent local homeless families to 373 cities across the country with a full year of rent in their pockets as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “Special One-Time Assistance Program.” Usually, the receiving city knows nothing about it.


City taxpayers have spent $89 million on rent alone since the program’s August 2017 inception to export 5,074 homeless families — 12,482 individuals — to places as close as Newark and as far as the South Pacific, according to Department of Homeless Services data obtained by The Post. Families who once lived in city shelters decamped to 32 states and Puerto Rico.

The city also paid travel expenses, through a separate taxpayer-funded program called Project Reconnect, but would not divulge how much it spent. A Friday flight to Honolulu for four people would cost about $1,400. A bus ticket to Salt Lake City, Utah, for the same family would cost $800.

NYC secretly exports homeless to Hawaii and other states without telling receiving pols

Cost of Living makes a huge diffs. Far too many publications only quote nominal figures, not adjusted for real cost of living - and that makes a huge difference in actual real-world living and disposable income.

To underline the point, this just in from Mises Wire in an article entitled California Has the Nation's Worst Poverty Rate, New Census Data Shows.

Why the Cost of Living Matters

Although the SPM measure of poverty clearly provides a broader measure of poverty incorporating both social programs and housing prices into calculations, many leftwing columnists insist on using the older poverty rate measure — while ignoring the homelessness data — because the older measure makes states like California look better.

For example, wealthy investor Ken Fisher, writing in USA Today, claimed last year that the "poorest states have Republican legislatures, and richest have Democratic ones." He writes: "Eighteen of the 19 poorest states have legislatures where both chambers are Republican controlled. New Mexico (46th richest, fifth poorest) is Democratic. But there isn’t another blue or purple state until you get to purple Maine... But all five richest states have both legislative chambers controlled by Democrats – Maryland, New Jersey, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Overall, Democrats dominate the 20 richest states."

Fisher was using rankings published earlier by USA Today, which relied heavily on the old poverty rate measure, and which used nominal median incomes not adjusted to local cost of living factors. If we do make that adjustment, things look very different.

Fisher's analysis thus relies almost totally on nominal income numbers, and ignores how expensive it is to live in places like New York and California.

For most regular people, however, leaving California may be the best thing one can do to increase one's real income and have a chance at a life that doesn't involve working long hours to afford a fixer-upper that costs half-a-million dollars.

An SA colleague currently in New York with his wife and 2-yr-old yesterday had a sandwich lunch in New York, with a hotdog for the kid. Cost was nearly R700. The minimum wage in New York is $12/hour, by law.

In another eye-opener, once adjusted for regional cost-of-living, These US States Have Higher Incomes than Nearly Every European Country.

San Francisco’s pee problem could soon get worse.

Chesa Boudin, the urine-and-feces-plagued city’s incoming district attorney, pledged during the campaign not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes if he was elected. Boudin declared victory Saturday night after results showed him winning a plurality of votes in the DA race.

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted,” Boudin vowed in response to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire during the campaign.

“Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted, we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness,” he lamented

Boudin’s parents were members of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group.

Boudin “was raised in Chicago by Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn” after his parents were sent to prison on murder charges while he was a toddler, NBC News noted.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders cheered Boudin’s victory in the election. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty,” the Vermont Sen. wrote on Twitter Saturday, congratulating Boudin on his “historic victory!”
