    I'll wait for the results of the Forensic audit in Maricopa county before I render an opinion on it.

    You call that fucking clown show backed by pro-Trumpers and conducted by election fraud conspiracists a “forensic audit”?

    Looks like you’re in the running for the stupidest motherfucker on this forum.

    This is one of those often cited myths about homelessness like veterans being homeless. In the case of veterans, almost all studies use self-reporting to determine if someone is one. This leads to two serious issues: The first is that the person claiming they're a veteran isn't and that never gets verified. The second is someone who was discharged under less than honorable conditions from the service and is not eligible for veteran benefits having not satisfactorily completed their service. Again, this is not verified normally.

    The same goes with homeless families which are typically single mothers who are between permanent residences. They generally are not on the street, but rather staying with friends, family, etc., while trying to get new housing.

    As for opportunity, most homeless--the overwhelming majority--are not readily employable. They lack job skills, education, and often motivation to obtain and keep a job.
    Homeless families all over are living in their car but the car registration has expired or the car no longer runs. Cops should be cutting these people some slack but they won't because their policy is to prey on the poor and bleed them dry. The next thing you know the owner of the car has warrants for failure to appear so the cop uses this opportunity to beat the crap out of them. The entire system is fubar. This is why people want to defund the police. Again, revolt is right around the corner.

    More than 1/4 of the homeless I meet are ex-military and want nothing to do with the VA because the VA wants them to conform and become good little boys and girls. Our policy of for-profit wars is causing domestic violence, homelessness, and suicides. They can't pass the psychological test because they're ticking time bombs but end up on some police force that sees brutalizing people as law and order. Backtalking cops (knowing your rights) is a crime in every state in the union.

    You have clean water.

    You will have tents and filth until the city decides to actually do something about them. That means getting the mentally ill to treatment, drug users and their sellers off the streets (police).

    It is not the responsibility of government to fund art.
    Police spending will consume 53.8% of the city’s “unrestricted” general fund revenue — taxes that are not earmarked for special purposes or certain fees, fines and grants. The LAPD makes up 17.6% of the city’s overall $10.5-billion budget, a figure that does not include police pensions and healthcare, according to city budget officials.
    ---------------------------------------------------

    Another 17.6% goes to police pensions so that leaves 18.6% for their healthcare. Again, the 53.8% does not include the money paid out for all the lawsuits against criminal cops.

    There you go again. Making up arguments that you think I made then try to defeat me with said made up arguments. That's called strawman.
