it's just the jews pricehiking the minorities out of their communities, nothing to see here

LA is disgusting.

Every system only works if it's nationalist. Chinese should not be allowed to buy US land without getting citizenship and spending at least 51% of the last 3 years in the US. They need to prove they want the US life, not the US assets.

>Has capitalism gone too far this time?
Are you aware Los Angeles is in California?

Tons of gib be dats are not the fault of capitialism. Nor making it so "safe" to be homeless mentallly I'll or addicted.

A lack of proper mental health care has a big part to do with this.

>mental health care
I think you mean prisons

the people in sacromento think increasing taxes and overall cost of living is going to make things better

protip: it makes it worse

>minorities

Homelessness can strike anyone.

Even Andrew Zimmern was homeless once.

Homeless immigrants?

What??? You do know that some people there are genuinely schizophrenic and who have no support from their families? A lot of people who were abused heavily end up there broken and lost. Sure there are tons of druggies that need to die. But there are also people there who never really had a chance. Imagine being so autistic your family doesnt want to or can not support you further. You end up homeless. You end up in skid row.

Then they need church
(((mental health care))) is a scam

Its because every hipster and all their friends want to move out to (((cali)))

The amount of times I hear people who want to move out there because they want to "make it big"

Imagine that fuck eating out of a dumpster.

Capitalism? Cali is the least capitalist state in our nation, they're an overtaxed shithole as a result hence the cost of living.

It's more like, has state handouts combined with unchecked immigration gone too far?

Geez dude. You really do live in a bubble huh. So children are deserving of having schizophrenia because they dont go to church? Do you know how stupid you sound? Chemical imbalances are real. I hope you get alzheimers and forgot so much you remember this post .

Would California be the most desirable place in the world to live if it was no full of nu males, hispanics, and niggers?

Imagine if it was just full of beautiful middle and upper class white people like 60 years ago. Wow, paradise literally ruined.

Most of the white people you will see in downtown l.a are homeless. Its not immigration but a sickness in the west. Drugs and people not helping each other if there is no money to be gained

Actually it would look better without white people cutting down all the old growth forests. California could have been eden if everyone left it alone.

>Retarded fledging-socialist hellhole with the most incompetent beuocracy known in the nation and inflation so bad it borders on Zimbabwe-tier.

Gee I fucking wonder....

Can't wait till Trump does away with state and local tax deductions on the federal level. Once he does commy hellholes like this will fall back into the ocean.

Yet the stock market is at an all time high...

LA has nice weather. People who choose to be homeless are moving out of colder areas of the country to places that have nice weather year-round.

its actually a number of reasons.

The weather dosen't kill you. You can sleep on the beach. the hills, canyons etc eat off local fruit trees to since that shit grows all over the place here like avacodos, grapes etc.

Cities like Santa Monica have tons of programs, places to sleep, public showers etc for homeless

Lots of rich people to beg off and drugs

So ya Be homeless anywhere else in the USA you can die. So cal is sort of a garden of eden for homeless.

>they need to believe in my magical sky fairy with unlimited superpowers

Get fucking real, more like Jose can work a job under the table for 6$ less an hour and still make even without state or federal tax and best part? He's technically unemployed regarding paperwork and goes to pickup his state handouts and federal handouts on the native white taxpayers dime, then helps his cousins run drugs on the weekends.

You socialists are mentally fucking retarded if you can't grasp the concept of why undocumented workers would destroy your system and why our social programs experience disproportionate influxes at border states in particular. But yeah, I'm sure the Sweden tactic will work out great...

The democrats will surely do something about this. They care about poor people!

i hope the other white people hang you first

>minorities
>majorities
pick one
When minority becomes majority.

No one is taking the jobs from the white people. Maybe the asians but in l.a alot of top careers are still preodominantly white. Jose is taking the shit entry level job that your heroin addicted cory is too lazy to do. And i am actually against illegal workers undercutting people with papers.

And i you hope you dont get hanged this weekend by the local cartel. Seriously tho our homeless in l.a have more money to their name than you porr ass mexicans in your medieval villages .lmao

The same shit is happening in Melbourne, Australia.

Shit's too expensive.

Something's obviously fucked:

One the one hand you have faggots saying "I bought my house for $500k 1 year ago, it's now worth $700k"

On the other hand, you have homeless.

And then you have pollies owning up to 4-5 investment properties.

System is fucked. I can't wait for a crash to cleanse out all this putrid shit and corruption.

Fucking this

Places like SamoShell give these fucking leeches $50 Starbucks gift cards EVERY. MONTH.

>oh but user, that coffee could be all that gets them through a long day of job searching!

The only people who order more ridiculous drinks than the homeless are yoga moms and their adopted African children.

>Yeah, I got a venti double chocolate mint frappachino with extra espresso shots for Scruffy

t.former starcuck employee & homeless shelter volunteer

So the people you just said are addicts and homeless, do you believe they'd not prefer those jobs and perhaps the burden of social systems sustainment on housing might have to do with why they went homeless to begin?
Most people don't bang heroin when they're not already rock bottom, the effects of it are well known. It's very rare you hear a story on any addiction documentary where a person had a house a pool and a wife, then decided fuck it lets see what all that heroin and meth jazz is about.

Im starting to think its the jews who are at fault. With their underhanded real estate tactics. They love to fuck up a neighborhood so everyone moves out and prices drop like crazy then they scurry in like rats and buy up all the cheap property, do some minor renovations and then upmark it to all hell. You can see they are trying to do this in some parts of l.a. there will be an old early 20th century brick building that used to be a factory or someshit in the sketchy side of town and they gut it and turn it into lofts for hipsters and "artists".

Im not advocating for addicts. There are addicts from all races. And i understand the precursors. All im saying is its easier to kick addiction than it is to kick schizophrenia. Before hard drugs you had a chance and guess what if you havent fried your brain you still do. With mental disease it doesnt work that way. A human with a lack of willpower shall be crushed by the raving waves of humanity.

>Has capitalism gone too far this time?

No central banking and planned economies have, not capitalism.

>I want to live in an area outside of what I can afford
>Durr it's everyone else's fault I'm homeless
Amazing really

...

Keynesianism is a Jewish ideology that is incorrect and must be eradicated from Universities.

he did, there's a story where he talks about how he stole a womans purse in NYC for a few bucks to eat.
no wonder the dude eats anything now

its almost like there is a finite amount of land for homes in big cities

Homelessness went down nation wide, expect for California where it spiked. Bums are flooding to the Sunshine State for the free gibs, warm weather and easy access to drugs.

Here come the losers who live in fly over states to bash california. You could not cut it out here, most can't.

I know right? With interest rates like pic related, on top all of California's regulations, no wonder they are pushed to the extremely over valued zone.

If there is so much inflation that will end up in wage inflation as well when labor markets are tight, which they were for most of the timeframe on your graph.

The real explanation for this is that good land is in short supply but workers are not.

that graph is nonsensical, you cant randomly multiply the stock market index by 47. There is no sense of scale. plot growth rates or something jesus christ

I don't give a fuck about the homeless. That webm, though

The shitskins get gibs and public housing to stay downtown while working class whites and vets end up on the street.

True to an extent, yes.

Illiterate. Fucking. Leaf.

some people just aren't man enough to handle california

Thats called i hate my dads money. This is literally what white priviledge looks like.

>blame the rising cost of living
>wanting us to think its the average 9 to 5 joe who cant afford his home

When it's really...
>Heroin drifter niggers from Colorado and Washington
>degenerate addicts professional panhandlers and fucking crazies from all over where hospitals were closed

I really believe it's what the Jews told me in the media!

its the chinks buying everything there

>its the chinks buying everything there
Why do you hate the FREE market, user?

You should see how much gentrification has been going on. I saw a Mercedes Benz dealership right next to a disgusting neighborhood just a block away from the convention centre. I also so some new luxury apartments bieng built that were going to be leased out.

Get people jobs and homelessness won't be a problem.

so we are to believe that 1/4 of Los Angeles is homeless?

oooooooooooo k

>yfw when there are more vacant buildings then there are homeless people

>The homeless population in the city grew 20%
leaf...

can we guilt trip celebs about this?

fuck you croatian I am Quebecois

what languages do you speak? fucking "blaat!" and "jaweeeet!" ?

fuck outta here nigger

This is Birmingham UK

it's meth and heroin

you lot have a lot of big fat jamaican asses there still innit?

up the zulus m8

the homeless are attracted to California because of the weather

they can be year round bums that never have to think about freezing winters

>homeless problem in LA

I bet you this is the effect of a $15 an hour minimum wage. People probably got priced out of jobs.

Does anyone have info? Did they raise the minimum wage last year?

>mfw automation is probably at fault

What is math?

Plenty in Handsworth... Most like white meat now.

Wrong pic.

So tired of this meme. Mexicans took all the jobs here. They are baristas at starbucks, mailman, all construction workers, all auto repair and sales, Pilots, race car drivers, cooks, restaurant owners , small business owners cooperate owners, firefighters, paramedics, ambulance , all state local and federal jobs because of minority hireing quotas. Ya they took are jobs guess white people just didn't want to work at all.

It's not at $15 until 2021

a systemic system of white male oppression and racism

that's what math is

It's always someone else's fault, user. Always

>>Experts say soaring rents and a high cost of living are major factors.

(((Experts))) have no idea wtf they're talking about and want to push political agendas. The homeless problem is a hard drug addiction problem. Don't give these people your money because they buy drugs with it, and it therefore goes to drug cartels and street gangs.

The population jump is most likely due to a law change. In my city the department no longer enforces drug paraphernalia laws. If a chud is found with paraphernalia only, that doesn't have a usable amount, they can't be charged. This news spread quickly throughout the hobo network and they all came from the surrounding cities to ours, because they know they'll be arrested less here. I know this because I'm tasked with enforcing these shitty laws.

Seriously though, do not help the homeless. A good 95-99% of them are junkies who break into people's houses when they're not home. They deserve to be put up against the wall with the shitskins, they're part of the problem. Absolute hedonistic degenerates who commit acts of violence and only care for themselves.

>capitalism
>los angelos
mmhmm

would you like to rephrase your dumb question?

>racecar driver
>being this butthurt

No one cares about your shit town and no one ever will

psycho here. Mental health problems are real, if I don't take an anti-psychotic I become stressed for no reason and that culminates (if I'm using that word right) in a heavy psychotic episode where I think I'm a demonkin and try to kill cops so they shoot me so I can return to hell. I'm only currently a free man because they judged I was too mentally ill to prosecute.

you're a bastard for what you did to buddy on that greyhound bus Vincent

>there is only one psycho in Canada

We are everywhere and united in our cause to kill people because it's tuesday.

LA county just passed a vote (measure h) to raise sales tax a specific %, that will fund MORE shit to combat the homeless problem. It's only going to get worse.

thestar.com/news/crime/2014/12/29/man_armed_with_cleaver_on_christmas_eve_facing_charges.html

way to dox yourself fucking retard...

Sacramento resident, can confirm.
The city planners here are literally saying
>"If we raise rents and taxes, people can just get jobs that pay better, then we all have more money."

Nevermind the fact that the only jobs Sacramento are
>State contracts with no benefits and no job security
or
>Shitty 4-hours-per-week barista jobs with no benefits and lots of unspoken expectations of unpaid overtime

Throw on top that most employers will not give you a job unless you own a car, even if you live 2 blocks away.

lol what a fucking doofy

California is completely run by jews. In Calabasis in the mall instead having a giant christmas tree during christmas theybhave a giant minora... California is the perfect example of what is to come for the world under jewish world domination aka globalization

I knew as soon as I sent that you'de find it. Your move then. Touche. Should have left out date, author and constable.

LA resident checking in.

When the mayor was a Republican, the LA Times was screaming REPUBLICANS HATE HOMELESS PEOPLE, DON'T CARE IF THEY DIE IN THE STREET.

We probably had 10,000 homeless back then.

Now under democrats, completely, and with likely 100,000 homeless just in LA City, never a peep, never a whimper, never a headline.

Just today a California assemblyman said on radio that he does not think giving the homeless free houses will encourage more homeless to move to LA.

Youre a danger to society

Not with pills. You would have a valid point if I had no medication. That was a first offense and a last one.

Fucking kek

>experts say soaring rent and a high cost of living

NO SHIT?! It took an (((expert))) to figure these things out? Fuck Commiefornia, let it sink

mental health facilities are satanic as fuck

were here to help you but you cant leave
the doors are locked

also well hold you down and force you to take medicine even if you dont want it

>capitalism
No if there was a free market this wouldn't be a problem

Why do people always refer to God as a "sky fairy?" It's not clever and it doesn't even make sense since a literal sky fairy would be a creature, whereas the concept is that of creator. Just say God. What's wrong with that?

>flood city with illegals
>demand for housing goes up
>supply can't keep up
>shocked when no one can afford rent
>more and more of your native population is forced onto the streets

At least they aren't being racists and deporting innocent families.

I live in the SFV, specifically in Van Nuys. There is a ton of homeless, see them everyday. It's not like they didn't exist in the past, but there are literal tent cities down teh street. Actually within walking distance some guy lives in a wheelchair and goes to sleep with the wheelchair on its side with a blanket on top of it.

It is the usual mexicans, some of them are illegals as well. We get knocks on our doors time to time from illegals who want to sell us bags of chips that they bought from Costco.

The truth is, a lot and I do mean a lot of these people do not belong in this country. There are over 3 million illegals here alone, the number is prob twice as many.

I can only imagine how much cancer there is in LA

>flood city with illegals
>demand for housing goes up

This 1000x. That's another thing, these people live like 7 to 1 br, the managers have caught on so they raise the price of rent when the place becomes vacant. If illegals fucked off, rent prices would plummet.

It's really the lobbyists, they pay for their legal fees for no other reason than profit, they want infinite growth on the backs of everyone else, which is not gonna happen. It doesn't matter to them that you already settled there and have a family.
