The worst part of that are the demagogues who then paint California as some post-apocalyptic hell-hole. There's no doubt cities have problems with homeless, encampments, etc... but for many good old boys to paint this as a blue state, liberal city problem is such a bad faith argument.
- outside1234 4y agoYes - that was the point of my comment. Homelessness is a national problem that manifests itself in the places that are trying to take care of people.
- teakettle42 4y agoOr perhaps it manifests itself in the places that most enable self-destructive behaviors.

- bigmattystyles 4y agoI don't think so - there are huge meth and oxy problems in the middle of the country and the people who can sustain it either have money or are leveraging relationships. Those that make it out to the coasts are no different in their abuse, they just have no one else to turn to.
- gamblor956 4y agoDrug use is far worse in the Republican states that purport not to enable self-destructive behaviors. It's simply more visible in California because we don't try to brush our problems under the rug and pretend they don't exist.
