It could be coming from people who are actually profiting from the drug abuse and homelessness. I suspect it would be very different if, say, $24 billion hadn’t vanished into thin air.

Oh, absolutely. Michael Shellenberger talks about this directly in San Fransicko
reply
Yes, I guess he did a very good job when he researched that. Did he name names?
reply
Yes, lots of names. Book is well worth reading.
reply
That is the best part of the book. I assume that the names of Pelosi and Newsome come up in the book as profiteers and crony feeders.

I agree. I suppose what I'm reacting to is that in California there is a large contingent of people who won't admit that drug abuse is a factor. I think it's coming from the same victimization mentality that DEI comes from: i.e. these people are victims, they have no agency in the matter. I think the people who refuse to look at drug addiction as a problem, or something that individuals need to be held accountable for, are contributing to the homelessness problem.
