First. You have to come to the realization that we as a group. Need to find the ones who can never take care of themselves regardless of sobriety and some form of structure and take them off the street. Nobody has a right to be homeless within 100miles of the ocean. Sure some regular people are homeless who have jobs. They have a streak of bad luck. They are just trying to make it one more day but if you can’t make it in LA. There is always Fresno. Too expensive to live in Fresno there is always Sgt. Bluff, Iowa.

We need sanatoriums again but this time without the torture and murder. They don’t need to be in the most expensive zip codes in the state of California. But only for the people in the state of California who are residents. You were shipped here on a bus from Tennessee 3 yrs ago or Nevada or Arizona. Send them back, don’t like that. Well California needs to stop taking care of other states homeless. We already subsidize these places economically in other ways.

Once the craziest and unable and the not from here homeless are taken care of. The state can go about trying to help those that are able to be helped. But 70% of these homeless are just not able to do anything for themselves and we’re paying for it financially and emotionally and we need to get something more permanent done.

Yeah, this is a lot of the consequence of not having structured places for people to just live somewhat long term while they get their head right.

Sanatoriums or mental health facilities. Whatever. Can't just keep these populations in jail or on the street, it just makes things worse for them and for us.
