Talk is cheap with ideas from many but no one wants to actually do the work needed to resolve this dire situation. The solution certainly won’t come from a billionaire who has no clue what the once employed now displaced person wants and needs.

There’s a noticeable lack of leadership combined with expertise. Overall it’s extremely poor planning!

I just wanted to add Housing and Urban Development, a federal agency, estimated it would only cost $20 billion a year to address homelessness, on a NATIONAL level, never mind the advances in robotics and AI that would allow us to build mass houses at a fraction of the cost in time and with higher quality. I don’t understand how the government Is allowed to be so inept here in southern California, And California as a whole. Link: https://aah-inc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/whomeless.pdf
