You’ve never met someone who has different viewpoints on various topics. Everyone is either liberal or conservative?
This is what the media peddles. You must choose a side and be extreme.
That's not bad on houses valued around 1.8 million. Lots of owners losing money on that deal unless they all got in 20 years ago. Heck, rents in Florida are almost that high on the coast.
Is that for a house or apartment?
Every person you’ve ever met clearly identifies as liberal or conservative?
$3300 for 700 sq ft!?! Wowzers..
Y’all need to move to the Midwest.. $3300 a month can get you a pretty nice home to own around here
I would rather listen to the loudest voices than the so-called experts and scientists. The loudest voices ended up knowing more than your educated people.
And taxes outta your paycheck.. and gas prices..
California must be the most beautiful state that has ever existed to put up with how much money is spent/wasted every month
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life
65 years
Was never robbed like strong armed, but my house was broken into by an employee
Work was slow so to keep the men busy and receiving a paycheck I had them do stuff around the house
Ungrateful punk broke in
There is plenty of crime in Florida, California and Alabama
But Alabama and Florida prosecute the criminals!

Glad your happy there!
Everyone should try and live where they are happy, if they can

Nice of you to refer to many of your fellow vets as cancers.

I think there is a difference here. There are the homeless who are truly homeless and are down on their luck and seeking and wanting help.. the resources absolutely should be there to help them..
Then there are those who are homeless who don’t want help, refuses help, commits crimes, assaults, thefts, drug use.. that may be the cancer he is referring to here.. how do you help the people who refuse it?
So, which category do vets fall in? How many are in each group? Please give me the number of vets who are cancers.
Those who are refusing help. Those who are robbing and assaulting others. Those who are doing drugs and living in skid row without wanting help or wanting to get better.
This is silliness. Are you suggesting that homelessness is not a cancer (meaning something unwanted and in need of eradicating)? Eradicating homelessness is a good thing, isn't it? Some of you guys are arguing for the sake of it. By the way, I think vets are about 5% of total homeless in this country.
GO NOLES!!!
GO NOLES!!!
As much as you want to play the white knight, no distinction was made. A blanket was thrown over all of the homeless and his fellow veterans are one of the largest groups. That is wrong IMO.
What are you talking about? Are you asking me specifically how many vets are homeless in California? I don’t know, I don’t live there..
Whether you are a vet or not, if you are living in the streets, doing drugs, assaulting others, committing crimes, and REFUSING help, yes, you are a cancer to our society..
If you are homeless and truly want to get better and get help, yes, money and resources should be me available for you.. 100%..
What do you suggest we do to the ones who are not in that category?
The cancer referred to here is homelessness in general not the individuals. There are veterans that are cancers and bad people sad to say just like in any demographic.
Ok well we are knit picking here..
What do you suggest we do to help the homeless, who are flat out refusing to be help?
Do we just let them do drugs in the open air on the streets and just set up shop where they want? Do we continue to let them commit crimes?
Homeless people that do drugs and commit crimes should be called what? Good people?
Of course not. That’s silly.. but it’s a legitimate question.. how do you help the one who don’t want it?
I would start policing more. Arresting the violent offenders. Arresting the ones who are assaulting.
Have an option of jail time or rehab for certain crimes.
At some point, the streets have to be safe for the public..
Classifying a group of people as a cancer now has a positive connotation? That is silliness.
Except most aren't leaving for political reasons, but economic. They can't afford housing or they retired, sold their homes for millions and take that money to a less expensive state to live out their lives in comfort. If you had a home worth $2.5M in California and I could sell it and move to Texas and buy a nicer home for $500,000 and live off the difference, wouldn't you?
Median household income California $78,600
MHI Texas $63,800
Median Home Value California $551K
Typically you would need around $145K of income to buy that house.
Median Home Value Texas $200K
Typically need around $45 to $50K to buy a $200K house.
In California the median income is only 54% of what is needed to buy the median priced home.
In Texas the median income is 128% of what is needed to buy the median price home.
You see why people are moving to Texas?
It is a huge problem and is mostly attributable to politics. Mistakes have been made for several generations and that has led to the current realities of people living in those cities.
Lol ok, let’s focus on that instead of the problem at hand..
You still haven’t answered the question.. what is your solution to the homeless problem for the ones who are refusing help?
Sounds like you were dealing with the ones who were wanting help… that seems like a positive plan of action and a step in the right direction
What about the ones who refuse it and go on using drugs, committing crimes, etc?
I just spent a couple weeks in San Diego last October. My wife stayed at a hotel fairly close to the airport for the first week and then moved over to our friends house in Carlsbad where I was staying. Our experience was exactly the opposite. We saw no drug deals. Didn't feel unsafe ever. Played tourist all over the area. Is it a big city with big city issues? Of course, but it was a very pleasant place to vacation and our friends who moved there 4 years ago love it. Only problem is they can't afford a house, so they rent a 3 bedroom, 2800 ft condo for $3500 month. They just moved into a 3 bedroom 1800 sq. foot condo (empty nesters) for about the same amount.
Makes me happy to live in a state with a CR per 100K of 2300. Also because we live in a town of 1700 and an area of 100K it seems like we have no crime at all. Most people don't even lock their front doors where I live!Crime Rate by State 2024
worldpopulationreview.com
California, Alabama and Montana have almost the same crime rate per 100k people at 4700. Florida is around 3900.
I feel like we have had this discussion earlier............ie the mentally ill on the streets.
I wasn't talking about you are any other individual...........but on the current trend of people leaving California and moving to states like Texas.
