On: Homeless Population Jumps by Thousands Across the San Francisco Bay Area

I thought that this was an issue on the entire West Coast and not just California.

The people of CA exporting their failed public policy is an issue that covers the entire west coast (and Nevada, Colorado and parts of Texas) to it's no surprise that the homelessness problem follows.

You're adding nothing to the discussion with unsubstantiated claims.

A "hurr durr" would have sufficed.

[chaostheory → dsfyu404ed]

I didn't realize that Texas is part of the West Coast.

The only failed public policy is the one that creates such a jaw-dropping amount of homelessness in a country with 11 million millionaires.

And that failed public policy isn't prop 13. It's a policy of expecting cities to deal with their homeless problems.

[roguecoder → vkou]

Nah, it's pretty much prop 13.

[vkou → roguecoder]

Nonsense.

Neither Seattle or Vancouver have prop 13, and they are dealing with a homelessness crisis. Neither does Hawaii, Vegas, etc.

What they all have in common is a federal government that doesn't give a shit.
