I agree that it is a shame everything has to be so politicized, both of the left and right, even when a good point is made. We clearly have a problem in California, but it is unlikely that this is because of a welfare system that support people in need. As pointed out elsewhere a more likely culprit is exclusionary zoning that has increased living costs to unsustainable levels even for high paid employees. A lot of problems solve themselves when having a roof over your head doesn't costs $3600 for a very low-standard one-bedroom.
