I think this is the Esplenade- a very good area and a tourist area. I LOVE that all these pieces of fucking shit have camped out there and Venice Beach. I know a lot of people on here are already aware but if you haven't lived in, or at least visited the CA coast for more than a day, you should know that it is much, much, much worse than people know. It is beyond the dystopia they had in all those eighties Troma films.

It is inevitable that CA will fall. I'm just glad I'll be alive to see it. It is a disgusting place.

Ya know, just spit-balling here, you could build yourself a miniature house, put it down on a sideway under an overpass, and call yourself homeless. Then you could collect that government gravy, get a government phone, make sure you are close enough to a coffee shop to use its Wi-fi, pay no taxes, and live like a nigger on Uncle Sam's dime. In a warm climate, I can see that being viewed as a viable strategy. You could even open a bank account and save half your money. Your clothes would come from Good Will for free. You'd get free medical. Hell, you'd probably get free psychiatric counseling.

That same excuse. "I can't stop you kids, so the best thing I can do is get you real drugs, and show you how to do it properly!"

Like Gale Boettcher on Breaking Bad: "At least what we give them is a pure unadulterated product, as advertised. "

This is the kind of homeless guy that, with a little bit of positive influence, could become a productive member of society. We have so much legislature that boosts the cost of real housing, it's crazy. There was a time where you could build apartment buildings with 200-400 square foot spaces, think studio apartments, but without a bathroom, and maybe no windows, but it's better than living on the street, and if it only costs them $100-$150/month to live there, why not? They can be a lazy bum if they want, and they wouldn't bout out on the streets buying drugs for kids.

But nope, lefties came along and decided that it's inhumane not to have windows and to have shared bathrooms. And it's inhumane to make buildings with fewer materials and less insulation to cut costs. Then they create laws saying that certain exteriors aren't allowed, and you can't build more than x apartment buildings per year, and on and on and on piling on law after law every year... Builders and investors obliged, and they had to charge more because things cost money. The left never understands this. They are always so entitled, and they just kvetch when they see the bill, blaming the increase purely on greed as if everything is free.

They push for these policies and wreck economies and then blame the very people that are trying to hold everything together and make something of their lives. Every time they do this, the result is the same, and they never see the pattern. I fantasize often about colonizing a distant planet and only letting sane people that are worth a damn come with me.
