Something needs to be done about the homeless population in Southern California...

The San Francisco government has been handing out 400,000 syringes a month to stop the spread of disease. It caused a big heroin epidemic in the homeless.

Seriously, can someone tell me who Mizy is? Im not into orbital shit.

Well, the obvious thing is also the impossible thing; start persecuting them. Give the cops broad leeway to harass and arrest them, withdraw any public support for their activities, and thereby drive them somewhere else. They're only concentrated because SoCal, in an attempt to be compassionate, promotes and subsidizes their behavior. What could be more attractive?

There's a subtle but crucial difference between compassion and permissiveness, and SoCal is on the latter half.

>Hey, I have a good idea.
>What is it?
>Lets give syringes to homeless people.
>Wow, that sure sounds like a good idea. Where would we test this?
>San Francisco.
>And the good news just keeps coming.

thats the thing. so nothing will ever change, you can either give them some land or watch them rot away on your sidewalks

I dont live in San Francisco so it isnt as bad for me, but holy shit.

There's a logic to it, re-used needles spread disease between druggies in a way that fresh needles won't, which is compassionate to them; but it also gives the impression that using needles is something that's fine to do. By giving way on the smaller issue of the needles, you give up the larger war of whether it's okay to be a drug addict for a living.

> a drug addict for a living.
Hol up where can I do this?

San Francisco, you just have to be okay with living on the streets and having no money.

how do they get drongh then ?

The thing is people can get pricked by the needles people leave on the streets and get things like hepatitis or HIV. It's not fair to the residents who don't wanna see it. Yes it does send the message it's ok to use heroin. It's spreading the opiate epidemic and making the homeless problem worse.

It's totally ridiculous. Now there's millions of needles littering the streets yet only 10 people were hired to pick them up.

just flush them all with cheap acid

yeah theyll be acidheads but you know how they were, you know, the potential to harm someone else is practically zero. yeah theyll run around looking like jesus collecting flowers but thatll be a lot better than a bunch of tweakers and opioid users

Right now it is very difficult for real estate investors to build new housing in California. Removing a lot of the restrictions on this could allow more and cheaper housing to be built. But the California Democrats dont want that, they want to upgrade existing housing and stimulate more business growth. They think this will be better for home owners because housing prices will continue to rise and people will turn profits on their properties. However, this exactly what is making low income housing in California unobtainable desu.

low income housing is becomming unobtainable everywhere in the west. not just a us problem

Same reason. Its because homeowners benifit from rising housing prices.

I have an idea. What if we make a rule that if the home value decreases, what you put into the home should be decreased from the current value? Like if your home was 300k and is now worth 200k, if you had put in 100k you now owe 100k, not 200k.

Vote out the NIMBYS. Not gonna happen though since local politics aren't really paid attention too.

Oh, but now you're punching down! How dare you, as a native resident of SoCal with a job and vested interest in the long-term prosperity of the region, withdraw your help from out-of-state wandering vagrants who eat up street space and government resources and steal shit out of your car so they can do more drugs? Don't you see how much privilege you have?

That's why it's impossible, there would have to be a willingness to say "Yes they're powerless and pitiful, no that doesn't mean it's our fault. Life is cruel, deal with your own fucking problems." Not electable in California.

All because boomers want to sell their houses for high prices that the young can't afford.

But what happens to that $100k? You would either have to create new money to give back to the bank and pay off the person's debt, or you would have to delete the money and the bank would lose $100k. Those are both really bad options.

its because of ridiculous regulations. how can you make low income housing if any kind of house building operation is 100k+ at least ?

California is way over priced. My late Gen X relative who was a teen in the 90s recently moved there and ended up having to go back to the Midwest after a year. Even she had trouble affording to live there so imagine how it's like for a 20 year old.

You can't. But it's also politically difficult to push allowing businesses to make less safe housing because it'll be cheaper.

Although at this point who even knows if more freedom would solve the issue given how little desire there must be to come live in the homeless crime capital of America.

That's not compassion. They should get diseased, suffer, and die to decrease the homeless population. True compassion would be to spread "fresh" needles that malfunctioned and shot air bubbles inside. California would save a fortune on public service costs. Shelters can shut down. Food banks can lessen their economic load. And even the Mcdonalds WiFi would get better.

It's logical.

We can pay it off with sales taxes on food and a 10 cent increase in gas per gallon.

The only people that would lose are the people with fully paid off homes which are the vast minority.
