The cost of shopping carts alone raises prices for everyone.

This makes me so sad. We have so many empty buildings. No US citizen should have to sleep in a tent.

99% of what you saw in the "tight knit community" is stolen

[jeffsaxton]

So why not get to root causes instead of treating people like vermin?

Why can't people live in RVS . Its not the people's fault these lies by the government about housing list list list really make them accountable.

Hi from the other side of the world!

How about all of the officials that run that city clear a piece of abandoned land and let the “build” small tents/houses there! With rules! Those are people in crisis!!! They need help!!

[raylenerusthoven]

This is sickening! These people need housing now!😢

If theyre getting kicked out anyway, they should move to La Jolla that is much better weather, closer to services and millions times better than Escondido.

The homeless made the mess, they need to clean it up.

So where should homeless go? They can’t afford California rent. I am a retired CPA and my husband is a retired architect. We had to move out from California, out house was not paid off and when we sold it, we could not afford California rent. We were drug addicts, alcoholics or lazy.

It is so damn expensive there give me a break!

[MelindaRoss-ew]

Thank you for exposing this. I walk my dog by there and it is truly disgusting/

[jasongeer]

Of course they have to battle the weakest of society

[kindredmalise]

Hate crime. The target cart was secretly planted as an ad revenue.

[RobertMesa-fuoy]
