We have a society where labor is exchanged for money. That money is used to pay for shelter, food, other necessities (if there is money leftover then investment, luxuries, etc).
The fundamental problem is that the majority of homeless aren't interested in subscribing to the model above. And so city efforts are futile and we just keep kicking the can down the road.

The homeless like being homeless. They do not want to work. This is why we need to make the life of the homeless miserable.
If you make life good and easy for them, they have no incentive to change. Kind hearted people who help the homeless only contribute to the homeless problem. It's like giving more heroin to the addict than less.

Wait, all the Democrat politicians say we just need to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr and everything will be fine. We're they lying to us?

If they were bused in from Chicago they need to go the hell back.
I've got no problem at all with the state taking care of people like that who truly need it so long as their from here. If they were bused in from Chicago they need to go the hell back.

I can't speak for LA but here in SD it seems way worse that the bay area but I've been gone 5 years. I lived mid-peninsula too so perhaps that has something to do with my impression.
WookieMan saysThey need to stay in your state.
Seriously man, it's getting bad. Very bad.
Most people I know in Chicago call homeless people bums. Wasn't sure what you guys out in CA call them.

Have you been lurking here long? As with any one from San Diego area, he probably mentions the San Diego, SOCAL bro region on a daily basis. That's what San Diegan's (sp?) do. Just not as much as I mention IL ;)

I was in London two years ago and it didn't seem stabby at all.
On any given day, as many as 20 people take to the City Hall lawn, across the street from LAPD headquarters. They're there to "escape the madness" in downtown streets, a 53-year-old homeless man named Lazarus said last week. At night, they fan out to doorways or deserted plazas to wait for daybreak
