"We need state-run mental institutions where people can actually go, (where) the indigent can go and get the help that they need," Allen said at a housing forum last month. "What we're doing is not working."
Rather there is a blatant unwillingness to engage in modern society and rather than move to a rural area where one can work off the land to feed and shelter oneself
The homeless ambiance is so "California" now. I was at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, and watched a grizzled, leering homeless guy screaming obscenities at a volleyball beach babe in a thong. "I hope the rest of it falls off, you fuck!"
The homeless are starting to stake out the rest rooms at the oceanside walks, making them even more high hazard zones to actually defecate. Water fountain? If you want to walk through the homeless guy with all of his junk around it.

Nah, if you're poor, there is no available land that you can work off. Land costs a fortune.
You can't build your own rudimentary home on unowned property: there are no unowned properties.
There is no economic liberty to do what our ancestors did.

Estimated 180,000 people live off the grid. There’s a ton of federal land and also a ton of land that people don’t actively check on. There’s actually a liberal minded enclave on the coast of Washington where people live this way. The difference is those people are productive and don’t interfere with anyone.
As for living "off the grid": it means something else: "being off the grid means living in a 265-square-foot home not connected to a sewer system, a city's electrical grid or gas utilities."
