Indeed....and relocate all the homeless to tent cities (army-style tents) outside the cities and towns.

Um....relocate??  Without their consent?  Sounds like a concentration camp.  Sorry, we have this pesky document called a Constitution that frowns on that sort of thing.

If you mean a voluntary facility, one with walking proximity to places those unhoused people need to go, and proximity to a support network of friends and public assistance, then that might be workable.  Several cities are developing such programs.  I may have posted a link here, some time ago.

Thanks Bambu, you are a good man.

On the issue of the economy here in Orange County; I have a friend who is a Rock star, he played guitar for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and for Suicidal Tendencies, and he produced the band Neighborhood Watch, etc, he has spent his whole life in Show Business here in Southern California, he is friends with Ozzy Osbourne and they hang out at the Rainbow in West Hollywood, anyhow, he is an expert, and he told me that the Entertainment Industry is making the move to Orange County. He told me to stay right where I am, and he said that the Entertainment Industry is going to come to Orange County.

We have Chapman Film School, and we have the California State University in Fullerton, and we have the Fullerton Community College, plus we have a great Medical School at the University of California in Irvine.

As we rise we can help other people and we can teach people, etc. We can be altruistic and we can help the homeless, and we can promote after school programs, etc.

Plus, we have Disneyland here, etc.

Great things are going to happen in Orange County, and as we rise then we can help other people.

Salute,

Tony V.

Yes Bambu, we could have tent cities; the Churches can set up Tent Cities and they can have Church Buses and the Church Buses can pick up the homeless people and they can take the homeless people to camps where the people can be fed good food, and where they can shower, and get clean clothes, and where they can get Medical Care and Mental Care, etc.

Then, once the people are stable at the Church Camps then they can be shown videos from towns all over the USA which are dying towns, the towns are dying as the people move away to other places. As Josh pointed out, we have empty houses where the homeless people can live. We can put the homeless people in the empty houses all over the United States, we can let the people choose where they want to live and we can give them a Greyhound Bus Ticket to get to their new Home.

La Junta, Colorado, is a dying town with only 7,000 people. The homeless people can go populate La Junta, Colorado.

There are towns all over the USA where the Homeless People can go populate.

Without going into a gang war-zone, etc. People do not have to live in high crime areas. They can go to La Junta where it is safe, etc.

And they can work in the vineyards in Napa, California, and they can pick strawberries in Merced, California, etc.

The Mayors can donate Church Buses and Tents to the Calvary Chapel Open Door, etc, and the Churches can help to transition the homeless people into empty housing all over the United States that already exists and just needs people to live there.

Salute,

The ideal will reveal itself to be an idol, with varied realization modalities manifesting.  Step by step, the ideal is pursued by a devouring doppelganger, tearing apart all transcendence. This de-idealization follows the path of reification, or, to invoke Augustine, the path of carnalization of the spiritual. Rhetorically, this is effected through literalization.  And gummi bears.

What do you think the problem is you are trying to solve? That people lack homes, or that we have to see them? Because forced internal deportation seems to be focused more on out of sight, out of mind; more on the problems of everyone else then the issue of the homeless themselves.

I can understand why you would post that after what DeSantis did in Florida, sending buses full of people to Sanctuary Cities, but my idea is not motivated by stupid reasons as with DeSantis; I was posting an idea based on a post that Josh made here on Elba a long time ago, about how we have empty houses all over the United States and about how we can put the homeless people into housing that is already built. We have shrinking, dying towns that have empty houses, and they already have the infrastructure, they have streets and houses and grocery stores, etc. La Junta, Colorado, is one place where they can go, and La Junta has 7,000 people, it is a nice town with everything the people need to have good lives, and they can build whatever else they need. We have dying towns all over the USA where the people can go, the people can watch videos about each town and then the people can pick where they want to go live.

And the people can get help, they can get a Disability Check if they are disabled, etc. And we need to have Mental Health professionals all over the USA.

It is not about "Out of sight, out of mind" but rather it is about getting them into nice housing, while at the same time we can save dying towns in America, and we can put people into housing that is already built.

Machiavelli taught that it is better to be loved than feared, we want leaders like John F. Kennedy, and not like Putin, and as we are free to elect our leaders then it would be great if we could elect leaders whom we all love and who fully represent us.

I've given up on trying to clean the Augean stables of horseshit.  Best of luck to you.

Mayor Bass just made her State of the City speech; she is bringing in a lot of funding to help the homeless, and to help the mentally ill, and to hire more cops, and to hire more social workers, etc. She made a good speech, let us hope it leads to visible action.

Right now Los Angeles is not doing well, the streets are full of homeless people, and people are being stabbed on the Metrolink trains, we had 5 stabbings in 3 days.

Meanwhile there is the hit film "Jesus Revolution" and maybe the Churches will open their doors to the homeless, and will help the homeless, etc, we can have Church buses taking the Homeless People to Church on Sundays, etc, and the Churches can help the people.

And Mayor Bass is going to help people with drug addiction problems, etc. There used to be drug addiction camps in Acton, and in Santa Clarita, maybe they can open the camps back up and they can add more camps, Lake Hughes is also a good place for camps, etc.

I do not care if Mayor Bass is Democrat or Republican, it does not matter, all that matters is that the homeless people get help, and that crime goes down, etc. We want nice safe communities, and we want for the homeless people to have housing.

Salute,

Another win for the Constitution.
Another embarrassment for Biden.

US Appeals Court keeps natural gas lines open in stoves despite an attempted ban in Berkeley.
The Court:


Federal Law preempts  building codes from banning natural gas use by covered products. And by preventing such appliances from using natural gas, the new Berkeley building code does exactly that.
States and localities cannot  skirt the text of broad preemption provisions by doing indirectly what Congress says they cannot  do directly.



 

[Espnthree]

I guess Biden did a poor job presenting the argument of Berkely.

I guess you can read, but not comprehend.
