From my personal experience from helping actual homeless people and being one (with my family). I find the homeless population is struggling. The numbers are GROWING...all around the greater bay area (up to Sacramento, where I currently reside). The majority aren't suffering from mental health problems, which to me, is terrifying for our society.
If the US has a 'growing economy' what will happen when we start to see this recession/depression that many are saying is eminent? I can't help but agree with the world leaders that the entire global economy is very fragile.
We can build our way out of this but I'm skeptical that California could build it's way out due to the private interests of powerful people (even single/one home-owners).
- shereadsthenews 7y agoIt’s not unthinkable that a recession could indirectly help by lowering construction costs.
- heimatau 7y ago> It's not unthinkable It's highly unlikely. SV is an economic engine for Cali and the USA. Unions and bureaucracies (local govt red tape) are the driving forces to high construction costs.
- conanbatt 7y agoNo, this wont happen. A recession will push the ones on the bottom to unemployement which spirals them into poverty. Recessions are most cruel to the poor.
