Start camping out on our numerous, various government official's neighborhoods.

That building manager is like WHY IS MY WATER BILL 2000$ dollars

[kobweb]

“In addition to covid... these people are living in their own waste.” This was a problem before covid...

It's the local government you voted for. Stop crying about it. You love it.

I’m leaving Los Angeles within the next 2 years. My husband wants to stay, because he makes more money here, but money isn’t everything IDC how much gifts I get from him. California is a wasteland with high rent. It’s too much! Shame on you Gavin Newsom and Eric Garcetti

[JVONROCK]

When people said they’re 1 paycheck away from being on the streets.
Did you think they were kidding ?

[Ferreal]

If you plan to visit the L.A. beaches, DO NOT walk on the sand barefoot. This is NOT a joke. Where do you think these people hide their needles and poop?

[kimehunt]

There are more homeless because California had made it easy.

[NoName-txgn]

I can’t even be upset. People voted for these policies! They should love the results! 😒

[garyyogi]

This is nothing this is a drop in the bucket compared to what's coming

[hootans.]

California is getting worse day by day, American dream has become American nightmare in California.

City officials robbing the program money 🤷🏽‍♂️

[ottovongrubner]

Why don’t we just set up water and electric utilities and porta-Potties on the expansive property of LA mansions. They always say we should be ready to make sacrifices for society. First rule of liberals, “No sacrifice is too big for someone else to make.”

[Hobbies]

City leaders refusing to execute the duties of their offices. They should all be removed tomorrow.

[bobmunck]

They should be camping at Nancy Pelosi house and other politicians homes

[warrenpeece]

The LA homeless budget is $430M. Not enough, evidently. Of course, just paint "Re-elect Trump" on those tents and the city will remove them immediately.

[kbforme]

California has such amazing leadership.I love getting called a racist and fascist for not wanting this type of leadership nationwide.

[WhiteNacho]

Sitting in their own waste, typhus, tuberculosis, staph, rodents, fleas, bed bugs, hepatitis A, B, C but no masks and no covid.

This is proof that our government is a total failure when it comes to the homeless. I've lived in Los Angeles for 60 years and have never, never seen it as bad as it is now. Venice has always been dicey with the homeless and "free spirits" walking around. But now it is way out of control and dangerous. Quiet suburbs in L.A. now have homeless people with mental health issues. Yet when the residents voice concern and object to these conditions in their communities they get shammed by the left and Garcetti just smiles and says things will get better. And why should he worry. He and his family has 24/7 armed security protection from the LAPD, as well as many of the elites that live in this city. Yet we poor unwashed slobs have to put up with the results of Garcettie's and Newsome's policies that are ruining this city and state.
