KFI: Today we talked with Russell Betts, a Council Member out in Desert Hot Springs. He tipped us off to something new going on regarding homelessness.
Governments are moving away from centralized homeless shelters are are moving to set up 90-day emergency houses in residential neighborhoods to take the homeless off the streets.
Palm Springs is set to get four houses scattered in residential neighborhoods throughout the city under this proposal. Cathedral City will also get four houses. If you live in those towns, you should know about this.
If they put homeless people in homes, they’re not homeless any more. Does that mean they no longer qualify and get kicked out?

Residents need to look at their city occupancy law. Most cities limit the number of unrelated people that can live in a dwelling. It comes up every year in college towns and the number for housing even in liberal areas tends to be 4.
Could the city that placed be responsible for crime,vandelism, and the destruction of personal property?
Local elected officials can be just as stupid as national elected officials!
So, you don’t want a homeless shelter next door?… Then you just want people to die!!!
Reopen or rebuild the Japanese internment camps, the left thought that was good enough for actual American citizens!
Didn’t BHO just buy a home there? Put these shelters on each side of his dump.
CA government; working overtime to bring the third world standards to you. Exceptions: elitist politicians, Hollywood elites.
Right out of PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC by Kurt Schlichter.
Camp Roberts in central California just off HWY 101, has miles of abandoned barracks. Put the homeless there (by force if necessary) and put them to work repairing and maintaining the buildings and growing vegetables. The whole state should bus their homeless there.
Well I’d rather have houses full of homeless people in my neighborhood than houses full of muzzy refugees. Luckily I don’t live in a democrat controlled area so I don’t have to deal with either.
Some homeless people simply don’t want a ‘home’–they prefer the ‘street’. Others, many others, are incapacited by some form of mental illness. And, there are those who just don’t know or understand how or where to get help.
SUPERVISED tent cities might be a start as a place where homeless can have access to advice and healthcare, but we must also bring back asylums, the facilities where those with mental illness can be houses and treated. In a civilized society, these people should be properly taken care of and not have to roam the streets, possibly doing harm to themselves and/or others.
Maybe it will work. For at least some of the people three months off the street with safe accomodations and a place where they can clean up every day will be enough to get their act back together and having an actual address can allow them to apply for some jobs. If there’s 24 hour supervision at each site it could get some of the people out. I think it’s worth a try. You’d have to screen the applicants pretty well though.
Feed the homeless to the hungry….win/win
This is a legacy Obama policy intended to deliberately disrupt nice neighborhoods.
Drugs? Drug dealers? Children? Children playing outside getting hurt, harassed, abused? Mugging? Nah, people who lead such chaotic lives they live in the street, under overpasses, in cardboard boxes, cook over open fires, poop outside, what could go wrong?
Section 8 houses, have you ever seen the damage left behind?
I’m glad I got out of CA back when I did. It reminds me when Brendan Fraser escaped the tomb by sliding real quick under the lowering stone wall. His backstabbing sidekick couldn’t make it in time. “Goodbye Beni.” That’s how I think of CA these days.
They have been at this for a while. Just like the “refugees” they locate as many as possible in repubican areas, and states.
well I am sorry but your life choices and decisions got you where you are today- maybe if you cared more for your family-worked harder- didn’t do drugs or abuse alcohol you might not be on the street homeless. it’s you fault you had a choice to do right or wrong-and you choose wrong. stay away from me…
What could possibly go wrong?
