In the last few years, homelessness has become more visible across the United States with vagrants illegally camped on city streets, under bridges, and wherever else they can find temporary shelter. According to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) there are “roughly 582,500 people” experiencing homelessness on any given night across the country, but not in Coronado, California.

Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey, 37, told Fox and Friends in an interview last week that his city’s successful solution to the homeless problem was a no-encampment policy implemented by his office. Quite the feat in a state that leads the nation with a homeless population of over 170,000, according to HUD.

Heh. Sausalito (here in Marin County, CA) got rid of the homeless encampments too (a bit over 200 homelesses in a town of only about 7000). How did they do it?

The city government paid EACH homeless person ELEVEN-THOUSAND-DOLLARS ($11,000).

Yes, that's right. Every homeless got $11,000 on the promise they'd leave Sausalito and not come back.

That's over $2.2M. To be fair, Sausalito is a pretty wealthy community. But really? $11k each?

So what did the homelesses do? Well, they packed up and moved a couple of miles up the road to San Rafael and Novato.

Problem solved! Yay!

I haven't been in Sausalito in decades. Is The Spinnaker still there?

Dem solutions are not to actually fix the problem. Just locate it away from them.

Ex. "green" energy and electric cars. By far more pollution over the life of the project/car (currently) but that pollution is moved somewhere else (Like China/India).

Im guessing that the Mayor lives in Coronado. Coronado also happens to have one bridge in and out and the island qualifies as the "rich as fuck" area.

The Mayor is clearly happy about this NIMBY policy. Now we just need a Not in my country policy.
