With those "substantial resources" and a sense of "humanity", you'd think they'd build housing for those in need.
Nope! It just means shuffling people experiencing homelessness to another place. What an absolute asshole!
Shuffling them to other places is how many arrived in California to begin with. But an eye for an eye is bullshit. The la times has no love for newsome
San Diego did a study and found that most homeless people there were natives who had been fully employed and watched over years as rent got worse and worse until they were evicted.
The idea that all the homeless are from red states who gave them a bus ticket is a myth meant to relieve us of any feeling of responsibility or empathy for them.
Renting in California is like being expected to run forever on a treadmill with an ever increasing rate of speed.
It wouldn't surprise me if most of the people in new California rentals were new arrivals, as other areas continue to get worse every year making the idea of escaping to California increasingly attractive. I wonder how often people from other markets move in with savings from other areas, pay the overpriced rents for a couple of years and do their part to help justify the rising rents, and then go back to where they were from after their savings are exhausted. Anecdotally, I know quite a few people who did something very similar to the above.
