This is very true. Sadly there is zero chance of finding a politically-palatable solution for this one in California.


What is the non-politically-palatable solution?


Build subsidized housing for people who need it. Time and time again experience has shown that to be the cheapest solution. But many Americans who never grew past toddlerhood find that unacceptable because it means someone else is getting something they aren't.


Lol. Yeah, and just keep building MORE free housing next year to give away as the Greyhounds keep rolling in. Of course, it's criminal to even suggest building it somewhere less expensive. Only the finest and most convenient locations will do! So, to afford the land and materials, and the armies of social workers, uhh, just raise payroll and property taxes?


I guess you'd have to be at least in grade school to think this subsidized housing should be built in the most expensive areas of the country/world?
