WTF is the big surprise? LA is just another democratic controlled city who’s liberal policies are coming home to roost. Now they want to be just another “53rd Sanctuary State”! I say let them do it, God bless, and see if the can find the intellectual capital to manage such chaos. I would gladly vote to let California seceed back to Mexico. Solves virtually all of the DACA problem.

Like Margaret Thatcher said long ago: “Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money”. The LA homeless problem is living proof. Companies have been leaving LA (and California) for years because of liberal ideals! Go Texas!

Does that "58,000 homeless in Los Angeles" figure represent an uptick or a downtick since Donald Trump took office?

Long-term problem. The article discusses the causes.

ETA: but I don’t think that’s doc’s point. :wink:

More socialism and leftist control of the government is the only thing we can do to fix this problem. Vote for me, Maxine Waters, and I'll fix these problems because socialism combined with open borders makes us stronger together not just equally poor together. I should know. I've been running the government Los Angeles for the past 40 years.

"If you took out Los Angeles, national homeless would have dropped last year for the first time since the recession."
“There were mothers who took this [Rodney King LA riots] as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes ... They are not crooks.”

This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

Come on Doc! You're my favorite left leaning poster here and I thought you were above such "Graham-esque" fake outrage hit posts.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. People realize he is just mocking Bach's posting style, right?

I was actually pulling a Bach. I was curious if he'd fall for a troll not unlike one of his troll jobs.

My life is complete.

eta: I see X-man beat me to it. Good eyes, son.
