>ohhhh nooo why does California have a homeless problem, clearly this is solely because of California policy!
I live here, I try to help these people. I ask where they come from, try to get to know them. Their story is almost always the same: originally from the Midwest, got hooked on opiate pills, Republican government doesn't want druggies around and doesn't want to pay for drug treatment programs, so they offer vouchers to the homeless clandestinely to get set up with California for-profit drug treatment clinics.
The clinics intentionally fail and dump the addicts into halfway houses, where they bounce around until their money is drained away completely and they end up kicked out on the street.

This is how Republicans treat their neighbors in need of assistance: they look away from the problem because it is inconvenient, and shove the problem off on someone 200 miles away
