Trump is proposing internment camps for homeless basically. He would have to force people to go--that seems somewhat unconstitutional.

Next--who is going to pay to support the homeless in institutional settings? The government? Us?

And how very unproductive to shuffle people around. Some are mentally ill. Some are drug-addicted. Some are vets with PTSD. And Trump would like to simply move them into buildings together? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I think that Trump attacked SF because the day before they declared the NRA a terrorist organization. This is the immature response and that is what this is about. Petty, immature tit for tat.

This is as bad an idea as 'raking' to solve the forest fire problem. But then again, this admin does not seem to come up with any good ideas. Or any ideas.

I cannot think of anything on this earth that I would want Trumps "help" on. I saw how he "helped" Atlantic City and now we are seeing how he is "helping" us.....

Actually you have no point at all, you're woefully misinformed. Did you hear that on CNN? In fact, California is bussing out more homeless than they're taking in....

Why are they going to Ca.? Because too many dummies in Ca. give them money when they’re standing on a corner. I just moved from that nightmare after 58 years of living there. Are you suggesting red states are telling bums, “get on this bus, you’re going to Ca.”.? Come on man, get a grip. It was once a great state but now it’s an embarrassment.

This is one of the cities within California that buses their bums to my city as well. Bakersfield is well known for this we got them coming in from other states in significant numbers lots of these homeless aren't locals.

Not many people give them money where I live mostly the churches are feeding them two meals a day they even deliver it to them, they don't even have to get up and walk.

Much of the assistance in CA goes to immigrants also - part of the issue of illegals coming into the US and CA in particular.

Great post, but I'm pretty sure CA liberals are immune to facts, logic, and common sense.
