Thanks Drewster!!! I'm sincerely concerned REALLY!!.. Been really entertaining the thought of moving lately. Taking all my money out California and moving on... I just have business, Properties and family here so it's not that easy...
I do not like the direction this State is going and I was born and raised here.. I've seen the changes first hand over recent years and REALLY don't like what's happening and the rate that it is happening at.
.. California residents are starting to wake up just now as it starting to hit home for many.. It's been building up.. That's a good thing..
Our elected officials are the problem today.. They don't work for the future of this State but rather work for illegals and homeless and not the true residents now.. I feel left out and so do other residents now that pay the higher State taxes.. Most families are home schooling their kids now because the public schools are over packed with Mexican kids. Blacks are getting squeezed big time as well in the low income areas and starting to wake up to it, wait til they really wake up!!! Those voices will be heard soon!!!! It's gonna happen I hope..Last edited by JIBBBY; 03-27-18, 07:26 PM.Comment -
Bingo!!!!
Pelosi and the rest of them hacks Jerry Brown and fienstein have absolutely destroyed that fukin state shit hole USA Seattle not far behind: liberal states full of homeless drug addicts gangs and illegals.
Why does Houston not have the homeless problems Seattle and California does: Republicans run it! Get a clueComment -
Relax Mayan, stay in East LA in the barrio where you belong.. You know nothing about northern Santa Monica near San Vicente and the beach where I live pal.. Ever been to Montana Avenue near the beach? No bums there ever... SMPD police get rid of them in a hurry.. Travel south of Wilshire Blvd you then begin to see the homeless..Comment -
Jibbby - you keep blaming EVERYTHING on Liberals and Mexicans? Both are false and not going to help you improve your city/state. This problem has been in the making since the 1970's where Californian's thought they could contain the problem. The majority of the 60,000 homeless people in LA are US Citizens, so either you are not looking at the faces of the homeless or you haven't stopped to care? I use to feed the homeless in Santa Monica, so I know the faces.
LA is one of the worst cities that refuses to house their homeless. Most likely because it's full of people like you that think homeless people living out of their car's should do better when most of them just cannot find affordable housing. Many of these people have jobs but it's not enough to sustain them. Back in the early 90's I was dating a girl in San Diego, she had a squatter that would sleep in her carport every night. I asked her why would she let an unemployed, bum live in her garage. Imagine my shock when she told me he had a college degree and went to work each morning at a good job. The housing market in San Diego got out of hand. Just like LA and Northern California. Many people simply can't find housing because there isn't any and if they did, they can't afford it. They rather live in an RV, camper, tent or their car than pay exorbitant rent.
Since you won't house them, they have to house themselves. Other cities find ways to create housing, because it's cheaper and better in the long run. There's a lot of homeless here in Houston, just like every warm weather city but most homeless here have mental problems where they don't now they have choices.

One obstacle about the homeless problem big cities face is that a significant percentage of homeless want to be homeless.Comment -
Mac that's partly true, however I don't blame anyone other then our elected officials that continue not to fix these problems.. They are planning homeless developments now but nobody wants a massive homeless community near their homes. A building development that costs a fortune that supports drug and alcohol abuse and or mentally ill people.. Oh and if you try to restrict them in these homeless developments they will rather live in tents.. Homeless people are lazy and hooked on drugs.. You can't break that by giving them a small apartment.. Mentally ill a different story all together..Jibbby - you keep blaming EVERYTHING on Liberals and Mexicans?

It's a tricky situation.. The onslaught of Mexican illegals crossing the border into California at record numbers doesn't help either.. I've lived here my entire life and I know what's going on.. You don't live here Mac I do.. There is alot of cover up in the liberal news as well.. Links like you pulled..
Our traffic is the worst because of what I mentioned above, hospitals and courts are packed. Illegals don't pay taxes as California residents pay them cash under the table for gardening, cleaning and Nanny work.. That is on us.. I hate it!!! It's totally against the laws and unAmerican... I don't do that..Last edited by JIBBBY; 03-27-18, 07:44 PM.Comment -
I knew a guy that use to drop bottled water to my house in Marina Del Rey. We became good friends talking about sports, etc. One night I'm driving home and I see his small little car parked in a paid parking spot near the inlet. The car windows was very foggy and I initially thought he must have been making out with a girl. I was going to keep going but something made me get out and look inside his car. He was snoring, totally knocked out. He had blankets, pillows, lined up for a bed. I drive down via Marina and I see a bunch of other cars fogged up. People were living in them. I see 2 kids in the window of a car with their mom trying to put them to sleep. This is right around the corner of the Cheesecake factory and all the huge luxurious boats in the Marina. I got back to my huge 4 bedroom house right on the beach, living by myself and I felt like shit. I had been living there for about 5 years and I never, even noticed all those people living in their cars. I couldn't even sleep well for several days. The next time I saw my friend, I didn't even mention it. I was embarrassed. I thought about inviting him to stay with me but I wasn't ready for that.
This shit has been going on a long time. The real sad stories are the people that can't afford to live in the house they paid for many years ago because they can't pay the taxes. They end up on the street after paying a 30 year mortgage. It's sad and it's sick.Comment -

Yes I see many people sleeping in cars even where I live.. Those people can rebound though or have a better chance.. They have a car.. RV parking in residential areas is a big legal problem now as well... People living out of RV's right in front of wealthy homes..
Police and city officials are cracking down on that now big time.. Imagine waking up one morning and seeing a beat up RV parked out side your house and people living out of it day after day.. You would not be happy about seeing that while opening your front door to go to work every morning...
I worked out of Marina Del Rey for years Mac.. I thought you didn't live in California?????Last edited by JIBBBY; 03-27-18, 07:55 PM.Comment -
Most of your rant sounds pretty made up, homelessness has always been a problem and paying illegals under the table is a good way to get fined into oblivion when a disgruntled employee, legal or not, rats you out because you pissed them off. You pay them on their fake social and the money goes to the government and stays there because they can't file a return. I know that's super boring but that's what happens. Eugene, Oregon has this problem, during the 1% protests, you have parts of the city that still haven't recovered. It's disgusting and filthy and an area to avoid. Tents still up, people shitting in the streets.
I've had employees offer to be paid under the table to avoid garnishments and whatnot and that's just a gigantic 'no way' from me, not giving anybody anything on me because chances are they'll get pissed off at me eventually and rat me out. Maybe the broke ass business people do it to try to stay afloat, I can't speak for them. The homeless problem just sounds like a new way to attach immigration/sanctuary cities to people's bitchfests/agenda pushing, find enough of these websites you'll get every angle on the situation and almost none of them 'fair and balanced'.Last edited by thellama; 03-27-18, 07:57 PM.Comment -
California is no different than Texas. We have the same problems here. We've had people setting up tent cities and pockets of areas with many homeless. We've had huge influxes of homeless from up North, Mexicans from down South, Katrina rejects from the East. You know the difference I see? Houstonian's care about people and do not mind lending a helping hand. LA people are all about themselves and refuse to help their neighbor. This is a YOU problem LA. It's not a Democrat/Republican problem.
We have had to deep clean these dirty areas. Forcing people to move, put their stuff in storage's, so that we could help them help themselves. We've had to increase shelters to house more people. We have food banks where food is distributed to the thousands of needy families. Corporations pledge to contribute time with their employees and money. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin are experiencing more growth than anywhere else in the US. Homelessness will only get worst. You have to take care of them before it cost you more in the long run.Comment -
The homeless.. Hard problem to solve but I got a few ideas...
1) Build the wall and deport them all (illegal immigrants), that will immediately create more low paying jobs for the people living out of cars, tents and RV's.
2) Make it illegal to be homeless and incarcerate them on spot, get them sober in jail for 90 days and maybe that turns their lives around.. They can then leave out of California if they want to remain homeless.
3) Build a MASSIVE small city in an empty industrial area designated only for the homeless which is completely paid for by the California tax payers that would probably bankrupt our State for good and make State tax paying people like me move out for good..Last edited by JIBBBY; 03-27-18, 08:22 PM.Comment -
How many homeless are drug addicts? Maybe the government should give them all the free drugs they want and the problem will take care of itself.Comment -
So when I am jacking off there is somebody watching me through my tv?
Cool!!!Comment -
If I thought helping always fixes the problem I'd be up for that.. I'd donate and help always.. I've come to realize if you are always helping the beggers and needy they will never change and continue to pan handle and look for hand outs.. You enable them for life and they become permanently lazy.. I've seen it.. That becomes their life Mac.. While you and I go to work they go to the freeway pass and or grocery store to start pan handling to support their drug habits..
I tend to lean for change rather then enabling.. That's the difference between our thought processes but I get you MAC... You're a good person and I like that...

Jibbby - like I mentioned. Californians just like you are the reason you have the problems you're facing right now. Which is why I left the state. Too many damn, "me first", people that don't give a rat's ass about their neighbor. Your 3 solutions are absolutely horrible. If you think you have problems now, go ahead with what you are proposing. You are too uninformed to come up with sensible solutions. Try reading more. Here's a good article to start. Maybe going to a food drive or a homeless shelter would give you prospective as well.The homeless.. Hard problem to solve but I got a few ideas...
1) Build the wall and deport them all (illegal immigrants), that will immediately create more low paying jobs for the people living out of cars, tents and RV's. What makes you think people living out of their cars, tents and RV's are unemployed? They are ALL working, they just cannot afford any viable housing. Are you paying attention? Deporting illegal immigrants will not even scratch a dent into the tens of thousands of US Citizens in your city, who make more money than the immigrants you speak of.
2) Make it illegal to be homeless and incarcerate them on spot, get them sober in jail for 90 days and maybe that turns their lives around.. They can then leave out of California if they want to remain homeless. Yeah, why not put honest people who have jobs but can't afford a home in jail. Why not put their kids in jail while you're at it. That will really turn their lives around won't it? They'll spend 90 days in jail with real criminals that will teach them how to live by hook or crook. Bright idea.
3) Build a MASSIVE small city in an empty industrial area designated only for the homeless which is completely paid for by the California tax payers that would probably bankrupt our State for good and make State tax paying people like me move out for good.. At least you somewhat understand how awful this idea is. Not only is it not economical but it won't work. This is just as bad as the jail idea.

All according to the plan boys. A corporate state. Rich and poor, no in between. Oligarchs and peasants.
Make the people dependent, you own them.
Someone made a thread on, if you don't make 250k or more why do you vote Repub? I would like for someone to tell
me what any Repub congressman has done for you?Comment -
I have been donating to the homeless forever. I give them a one way plane ticket to California and tell them to enjoy the weather and stop living here in PA because the weather is shit. It gets costly but if it makes Jibby miserable maybe i should get a second job and speed up the his misery.Comment -
I don't hate the homeless or illegals, everyone has disadvantages in life and some more then others.
Thor and others posting I'd love to see the homeless setting up tents in your alleys and parking beat up RV's in front of your home.. Let's throw a few dirty needles on the ground and a couple piles of human waste for you to smell see and walk on as you enter and exit your home..
All you boys would be changing your tunes.. I lived the hard life thru college.. Broke.. I had to work to survive.. No free rides..
Should make homelessness illegal.. Jail you get 3 squares a day, sobriety and time to think.. Get a half way house when you get out and low paying job opportunity given.. Don't make it felony.. That's the way to fix the homeless problem.. Give meds or medical attention to mentally ill...
I'm all for rehabilitation and second chances... I'm not the bad guy here fellas, just bringing about awareness on SBR.. I should run for office and I might one day...Comment -
Jibbby - I've seen people change their lives. People who everyone gave up on. All people really need is a chance. I've been fortunate to employ hundreds of people, I've helped many people start businesses. I've seen people from all backgrounds, religions, color, family history become productive people in society. I've worked with violent criminals with numerous felonies change their lives because someone believed in them. I've helped those same blacks and Hispanics that you think are thugs and illegals. They want what we all want. A chance. We are all products of our environment. You want people to do better? Create a BETTER environment. Don't give up on people. There's nothing wrong with enabling someone until they can stand up on their own 2 feet. Someone had to enable you once. Your parents made you what you are today. You were very fortunate. You hit the lottery at birth. Many people weren't so lucky.
There is much more joy in helping someone else. Sure, it's great to get a pedicure/manicure, but how about gifting that homeless mother a pedicure? Speaking of beggars. I see a guy in front of a Starbucks I go to ALL the time. He can't be more than 25, able bodied and polite. I always give him money whenever I see him. He came to Houston after Katrina. I don't know his entire story. He obviously doesn't want to work or maybe he can't work, maybe it's not for me to know. All I know is that whenever he sees me his eyes light up. He knows that I'm going to help him out. I'm not going to judge him and I'm not going to get on him as if I know what's best for his life. One day he may ask me more, maybe one day he may tell me more. My dad use to say... "Better a beggar than a thief". Look to the bible for your real answer to your problems... You do know Jesus was homeless???
And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
And one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.
Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. ...
A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,Comment -
^^ Mac I've hired many people over the years also.. I ran one of the largest restaurant construction and repair businesses for years here in LA... I hired all types just like you did..
I am a devote Christian man and try to be like Jesus.. I fall short of glory and admit that.. I get frustrated and have my vices.. Still even if Jesus was homeless he wasn't doing drugs and bothering home owners I'm sure.. He was on a mission from God and trying to help and save the human race..
Yes we are called upon to help the less fortunate but we are not called upon to enable them.. I donate and help others every month.. I try and help when I can.. I just don't like to enable people... There's a fine line there between helping and enabling....
Welfare generations I have a problem with as well...

The tent cities and homelessness out there is something else. I’m getting booted out soon so maybe I’ll fly out and buy a tent. Should have some good drugs out there at least. Pick me up a homeless chick to get high with. Sounds like a plan.Comment -

Let's deport illegals. Except they are the ones who supply the food you eat at the local supermarket. All the fruit and vegetables. They also do the other jobs that supply the rest of the supermarket. Let's see how many Citizens want to do those jobs.Comment -
A true Christian doesn't judge people. He more or less tries to understand the deeper reason why. It's too complicated too make sense. Reading biased articles or watching a biased channel does not equal being informed.
