With the top rated local CBS affiliates evening news They had a report on homelessness in the land of sky blue waters. The reporter stated proudly that the number 1 reason for this was the people couldn't afford a home. Brilliant!

    Wat an gross over simplification! Some people do not want the responsibility of a home. I sat on a diversity council locally, where one man with a good paying factory insisted on living in his car, actually telling those who wanted to "help" him, that he did not want the responsibility. Homes are re financial sponsibilities and upkeep on a large scale. Some people don't make the choices to afford a home, as they would rather drink, smoke, do drugs or take cruises, than plunk down thousands for a home. My brother could well afford a home, but hates to mow grass and do repairs, so he rents and apt. It serves the goal of the bureaucrats to believe they cn't afford it, then tell us why? What do they really value, what are they willing to spend money for, what choices are they making?

    Unfortunately, Obama giveaways are a thing of the past. How about a free Trumpmobile? :-)

    Actually I have been paying more rent in another
    place (same company) for two years.(I had a job
    when I took the place). Been trying to get into pub-
    lic housing (I don't like that idea at all, but then I
    wouldn't have to sponge on family and friends so
    much. And maybe I could eventually get a job,
    and pay in a private place again. I think many
    people are being forced into dependency on the
    government this way).

    Sorry to hear of the condemnation of your apt.
    I hope you are able to resettle in an improved space for less rent . Of course you know my post wasn't meant to denigrate the homeless it was the #1 reason for being homeless.

    Perhaps I could afford better an apartment if the
    City government had not so arrogantly condemned
    the building I was living in, in which I had gotten a-
    long fine for a long time with the rental company. No, I am not homeless yet, but who knows?
    (It was claimed that a wall was "falling down";
    actually, there were a few loose bricks).

    They have houses on military bases. What is the problem?

    The statement that homeless are that way because they can't afford a house is one of those accepted liberal "facts" that is not necessarily true. When I lived in the People's Democratic Republic of California (PDRC) the weather was generally nice enough that you could spend most of the time outside. There were homeless camps by the Sacramento and American Rivers. If it got hot they jumped into the river. If it got cold they could go to a shelter. If they got hungry they went to the soup kitchen. If they were jonesing for a fix they begged until they got enough. No house payment, no tax, no mowing, no responsibility and plenty of fresh air.

    LOL, I know what you mean. These people forget (or just don't know, or don't want to know) there are normal cycles of cooling and warming of the oceans and the atmosphere even NOAA has recorded this and the researchers that study archeological weather know this fact. I ‘m not going to say it’s fake of fact just do your own critical analysis of the “scientific” data at NOAA and NASA.

    Later in the broadcast they were reporting on the sentencing of 9 Isis wanna be 's from
    Al Minneapolis and the leader got 35 years and the same reporter asked her colleague is there anyone looking out for him? That is why I make no effort to hear the news.

    her comment was" this global warming"
    Good grief

    Perhaps if we promised to switch sides some of us could get a free Obamayacht before he packs it up.

    They should sue the car manufactures, because people driving cars hit other people.
