#1 What about the ones that choose to be homeless, or "outdoors"?

#2 The obvious cure is for gubmint forces to do whatever they can to force housing prices even HIGHER than what they have so far done.

#3 As rents soar and access to affordable housing shrinks, the number of people living in states along the West Coast is trending in the wrong direction.

I've said it before: If you really want affordable try Detroit or Albuquerque or Houston. The coastal areas of California, Oregon and Washington are what you call prime real estate so it's no surprise that a lot of people can't afford to live here.

It's a shame that we all can't afford to live in mansions on the beach in La Jolla or Malibu but some of us have to settle for something a bit more modest and a bit further inland. We have to work for it too.

#4 What about the ones that choose to be homeless, or "outdoors"?

We have vagrancy laws for those folks. I'd put them in encampments out in the desert surrounded by concertina wire. Let them pitch their tents there.

#6 I posted this in order to Highlight the growing trend in Socialist Cities and their Skyrocketing homeless issues. the trend seems to be that when the rich urbanites move in, who ever was there and doesnt conform to much higher living expenitures ( taxes, and fee's) , well they must move away or go broke.

#7 Funny how I didn't see any stories about the homeless when Obama was President.

#8 Raj, you only hear about the "homeless problem " during R administrations. It magically clears up as soon as a D takes over. Then appears again in the next R administration.

#9 Funny there doesnt seem to be all that much homelessness in "red" dominated areas.
