It is a real estate scam where they (who is they, investors?) use homeless people to drive down property values. Then they buy up all the cheap property. Then they clean up the homelessness, rebuild and sell the property back at a huge profit.

It's not about tolerance. It's about using homeless drug addicts to force tax peasants out of their homes on the cheap, then gentrifying the neighborhood into premium rentals so the Democrats become filthy rich. They became notorious for using the strategy in NYC.

They installed DAs to let people go wild

Nice! They are getting what they asked for.

@@melaniehoyt7607 He calls himself Mr Bong. I'm pretty sure his IQ is entirely Bong ( and hopefully only Marijuana ) related.

Lack of social programmes and free health when needed. Makes the USA virtually a 3rd world country.

When a country has trillion dollar penal & arms industries, that's a failed country right there.

Why don't the municipalities having the problems deal with them? What's the hold up? Why is it strictly a federal problem? The voters in the municipalities either do not GAF or maybe they're waiting on Uncle Stupid to come up with a plan that will make the problem worse, as he always does.

@@DAN_ZEMAN I would assume, like most indoctrinated 'Woke' narcissists, his answer is: "I am narcissistic, so NO CRITICISM of my tribe is allowed, just like my fellow 'Collective Narcissist' cultures, BLM and Islam...whose narcissism I relate to".

@@tractordamage5272 what do ya know, Marxist friendly KZfaq has not displayed your comment. It’s visible in email and outside thread but not here when I click into thread. This is why idiotic little commies feel so venerated in their delusional naive world view. And the best thing is they think KZfaq, google and Goldman Sachs are in their side because they’re ‘right’. The delusion is truly phenomenal to behold. But hey, let’s paint our faces blue and yellow, get our booster shots and wait for the next establishment narrative we’re supposed to agree with to surface through the prism of tribe controlled mainstream media..

@Brandon Stanley Soros is the modern day Hitler but he uses money instead of an army to control countries. Look up the old video of Soros being interviewed on 60 Minutes...it's right here on youtube

@Brandon Stanley Hahhaa dig alittle deeper everyone knows Soros and his family are the center of all these policies that have help destroy Americans cities and the current situation in Ukraine. Prime example is Haiti 🇭🇹 Soros and the Clintons and others did a number on that so called relief fund.. Haitians are still eatting mud pies.

@Brandon , at least that’s the image he wants to portray to the world. Must spend a fortune on PR whitewashing.

A very, very small step.

+BucknerSanFrancisco Actually, his invocation of this "radical left" boogieman undercuts the whole presentation and just makes it feel like more partisan propaganizing.

@@highroller-jq3ix Yeah, I can see the point of view with this interview. This is probably the 10th interview I've watched with him and can say his focus on who to blame for the problems (which he calls the "radical left" at first but really is "Progressives") in this video probably has more to do with the primary vote a few weeks ago for Governor. Other videos I have seen are more solution-focused which is the most important. I've lived at Turk and Hyde for the last 6-7 years which means I see firsthand the depth and nature of these problems as well as somewhat successful and plenty of failed plans to address them. He really nails cause, effect, and best-chance solutions based on my experiences.

@@highroller-jq3ix Well yes. He's pointing the finger at those who created the problem. We've seen 60 years of "drugs are cool" advertisement from the radical left especially from SF and LA. It's not a coincidence that those end up becoming giant drug slums half a century later. That being said, the right is also to blame. Right wingers want social cohesion + economic individualism. The left wants social individualism + economic cohesion. What we got is individualism + individualism which leads to misery.

The problem is, the powers that be don't want to solve these problems. In fact, they helped to create them....and many are profiting from this awful situation.

@@highroller-jq3ix Doesn't the message go down easier when it's a former Lefty proposing these solutions? He's got the right CV. Maybe Progressives are really just regressive.

I live in a part of Canada where two large psychiatric hospitals were closed (By a left NDP government). The patients weren't cured, most were just set loose with a hearty handshake and a "good luck, don't forget to take your meds!" from the government. Mayhem ensued and continues, 20+ years later.

In 1963 Community Mental Health Act pushed responsibility for mental patients from the federal system to the states and decentralized community centers. Of course, never adequately funded. 1965 The U.S. Congress established Medicaid and Medicare. Mentally disabled people living in the community were eligible for benefits but those in psychiatric hospitals were excluded. By encouraging patients to be discharged, state legislators could shift the cost of care for mentally ill patients to the federal government. In California in 1967 Governor Reagan signed the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act that ended the practice of institutionalizing patients against their will, or for indefinite amounts of time.

Reagan, with all of conservative wisdon (piching pennies on the populace to enrich the fascists) got rid of the saylums, and made those folks the responsibility of the POLi-ce. Its why we handle the mentally ill like inmates

So true. My cousin who was a vet and mentally ill was turned down by the Palo Alto vet hospital because he wasn't "psychotic"...he died at Market street & 3rd two months later.

In the US they were closed during the Reagan administration. The growth of homeless started during his run but exploded during covid.

He's a biased hack. He can't become anything else

Hart to say. A lot of these progressives never really leave the Left because there is always something from their "previous" progressive belief system that still lingers on.

@blokcom Exactly. They want to live in clean and safe cities, but don't like the regressive feeling of voting with the conservatives. It must be hard to reconcile spending all that money to become an educated progressive, only to realize that dear old conservative dad was right all along.

@@justinbetland9792 - Extreme capitalism is the real root of the problem, conservatism preserves that dire state.

@@jamesbong7852 free market economies have lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system.

I saw a homeless guy yesterday, (at least he had a sign saying he was homeless) who asked me for money. And, I'm looking at his brand new tennis shoes, his spotless pants and jacket, and thinking one, this guy is wearing nicer stuff then me, and two, he doesn't look like is missing out much in life from being homeless.

@@ralphholiman7401 not that anyone believes many desirable trappings of our culture are easilly accessable from being homeless and jobless

Theres an underground movement in Tokyo of people who just drop out of all the rat race pressures and exhaustion that comes from just trying to survive.
