May your grandfather rest in peace. Sorry for what you have had to deal with. Far too many states have laws that protect these criminals to the extent that it takes years to do anything, and by that time the property is entirely destroyed. I was very helpful to homeless people for a long time. Last year I let a homeless man shower and sleep on my floor. Even after a shower, the man's stench was not gone. It literally seeped into the wooden floor, could not be bleached away, and the floor had to be pulled up and redone, costing thousands of dollars. This was just one thing in a slew of many marks against the homeless that made me realize my efforts were not of any actual value. Almost all the homeless I befriended and talked to were just drug addicts who did not care to change their lifestyle. I vowed to never make the same mistakes and no longer waste my time helping them. One of the homeless I knew, got so high he fell asleep while smoking a cigarette and lit his alcohol soaked squat on fire. He ended up in the hospital burn unit, despite not having health insurance. I felt bad and guided his homeless friends to the hospital. In the burn unit, he was laying there with bugs jumping around in his hair. His homeless friends, despite being told to put on hospital garb, were pretty much contaminating the whole unit with the amount of bacteria and bugs they harbored. These people are literally, a plague, on society. Sure, we can feel bad and source their current situation back to past trauma, or whathaveyou, but let's be real -- there is no way to help these people in the way that those who have never dealt with them think. Pretty much all of them hate capitalism and pretty much just live off the rest of us. In a small community like a tribe, they would be kicked out immediately and their fate would ultimately be their own. When I heard that states were giving free hotel rooms to homeless folks, it made me cringe. Many of the hotel rooms are going to require the entire carpets, mattresses, and other items to be destroyed. The hygiene of a majority of the homeless is so atrocious that they do nothing more than spread disease while destroying their bodies through drinking and drugging.

"California's Proposition 47, which voters passed in 2014 and lowered criminal sentences for certain nonviolent crimes like shoplifting and check forgery, is being exploited by those who want to commit theft. The initiative set a threshold of $950 for shoplifting to be considered a misdemeanor, which doesn't prompt law enforcement to make an arrest, rather than a felony, which could incur harsh penalties like jail time."
