Exactly!
Things are going to get worse and worse because Bay Area voters will keep voting Democrat.. how much worse will I have to get for a light goes on in their head? Maybe they’re just morons.
problem with democratic politicians is they think they know how to take care of the group as a whole, they subvert individual accountability….with the amount of taxes citizens of Concord and California pay a homeless encampent should never be a issue….its obscene and completely a failure of Concord’s leadership
@mojoduck
California has over 24% of the nation’s homeless but the state on makes up 12% of the nation’s population. It’s the highest homeless percentage in relation to actual population in the country. So maybe conservative states have homeless but not to the degree you find in democratic states, California, New York, Hawaii, Washington, etc. So maybe it’s time to stop defending policies that invite homeless to this state and open your eyes. This is not a right/Left issue but is the result of liberal policies that allow homelessness to be tolerated, (mostly junkies, look it up) So maybe conservative States are doing something right? Would you continue to let a child play baseball if the pitcher hit every batter and say oh give him another chance? Sorry time for change
Mr. Mojoduck: There was a good news interview of a homeless person who lives near the Ferry Building in a tent and says the authorities give him $820 per month plus lots of other benefits. He also makes extra money selling drugs to teenagers. Those are Democrat party values, not Republican. But Democrats each election successfully just turn everything into a middle school popularity contest and vote Newsom and party line. https://tinyurl.com/53fzthb2
People are voting democrat….. Well some are but did you all know that with CA recent motor voter laws millions of illegal immigrants have been illegally registered to vote? So what the Democrats can do now is get out a list of illegal voters and then create fake mail in ballots. Contra Costa has not cleaned up their voter rolls in several years so illegals are on the roll. Our stupidvisors particularly Mitchoff refuse to even acknowledge the issue.

Not blaming the individuals in the film, but as a society this is just delusional. Most say the Bay Area is going in the wrong direction and half are thinking about leaving, but they voted for this. Not once or twice, but continuously. About two-thirds of the population just needs to look in their bathroom mirror to see who is responsible.
Please don’t blame the Concord Police for the homeless epidemic and other things that make you fell sad; Police officers are Public servants, that being said, they are not babysitters for your emotions; I am a homeless person residing in concord, however you would not know because i maintain a grooming standard, and i don’t trash the place, i don’t do weird shenanigans in public with stolen shopping carts ect. The police can only do as much as the public will allow, so go to the concord bord meetings and express you concerns , because that’s the only way we as concordants can become great Samaritans on the same page, , a lot of individual’s would love to voice their opinions on tv but they are not going to be the change with the city, everyone else thinks wsell someone else will do it for me, thats their job not mine. being a citizen of a city means you have an obligation to basic leadership . that means going to the board meetings time after time. that’s what makes USA GREAT, democracy. On the homless issue maybe whomever is going to build on the naval weapons station should set asside a Jobcore like program but for homeless, o

Art of war, great book, if you want to tackle this stuff you need to be intellectual and understand , micromanagement is Key when it comes to shelters and getting people of the street so they can become take payers for the city and not a drain on the economy.

The Bay Area should learn from Los Angeles on how to solve the Homeless Problem. They spent 160 million dollars on buying and renovating an Apartment building that will have 275 units available for the homeless. That’s only $582,000 dollars per homeless person. Makes a nice dent in the approximately 70,000 homeless in LA. Money well spent wouldn’t you say? Don’t believe me? Look up the Weingart Center project.
A much better solution: Buy them a hot meal, shower, new clothes, a cash stipend, and a bus ticket to Portland. A permanent solution at a fraction of the cost.
Further, you don’t have to sneak them in at night like the Biden illegals being dumped all over the country.
Only $582,000 per person?
Such a bargain (sarcasm).
And, who, exactly is paying for this? Our politicians divide us into four groups: Those who get these lavish entitlements, those who work but pay little or nothing in taxes, those who are in the middle/middle-upper class who can’t get ahead as every increase is pay met with ever higher taxes, and those who are wealthy that pay the bulk of the taxes.
That’s only a permanent solution if no one else decides to do that and send them right back here.

Negative. Democrat politicians caused the mood. These examples a just how they did that. And yet, they will alll get reelected. Great job everyone.
Oh, and I’m guessing you believe the GOP and Independents haven’t done anything to contribute to the problems. Not one politician, left or right has done anything to correct any of these problems because they refuse to attack the root cause. Blaming one side only divides the nation further. They’re all accountable!
Phil, I’d be thrilled if you could provide an example of exactly what
“the GOP and Independents” have done to “contribute to the problems”
or explain why the homeless problem is so much worse in blue states than it is in red states.
@Phil
Repeal Prop 47 & 57, and elect a DA that will enforce the laws and let Prop 36 do its job. Homeless (urban campers) numbers will go down quickly.
Phil DemoRats have destroyed this state and everything they touch. I’m about personal accountability, Democrats are about excuses and blame.

27% of California wasn’t born in America that’s over 10 million. And you wonder why we have homeless. Newscum still refuses to put criminals in jail and you wonder why there is so much crime. Had a chance to get rid of him and it failed.
With no data at all, and just my observations to fall back on, it doesn’t seem like Latinos make up that big a percentage of the homeless. They come here to work, for the most part, and unlike us natives, they are willing to share housing and bills to get by.
Other than loss of tax base, I don’t think you can blame homelessness on illegal immigration. It’s its own separate issue.
Mr. Slave: Why are you trying to manipulate this into a race issue? It does not matter if the 2 million here illegally are all blue-eyed swimsuit models from Sweden. If you tossed them out, it would probably free up about 500,000 houses and apartments. However, the homelessness issue is actually more about drugs and culture than not enough housing units.
@Wage Slave—Not all illegals are Latino, thousands are pouring in from all over the world, including Haitians and Somalians. Haiti and Somalia are a couple of the most violent countries in the world, so what kind of people are we letting in?

People like Newsom are breaking the US from within, and putin is playing his role by separating the rest of the developing world from the economic grip of the US and forging an Eastern economic bloc with China. Biden and his other goons jumped to separate Russias economy from the rest of the developed world on purpose to destroy the current US dominated economic system and make way for a new one.
I do believe the WEF clowns are severely underestimating how badly China wants glory so this is gonna all end up with China at the top.
None of us can do anything about any of this except buckle up and enjoy the ride. Cheers you clowns we might as well dance while the Titanic is going down.

Crime is totally being under reported and swept under the rug. The young guy recently shot on Taylor Blvd in Lafayette/PH was a successful, very rich drug dealer. His rent was about 13 or 14,000 dollars a month to live in that big house in Lafayette. The Police and FBI found out about the guy’s drug dealing by going through a bunch of stuff taken out of his house. No wonder they wouldn’t say much about it last week. I got this info from an FBI neighbor.
People complain, they aren’t happy with the quality of life in Concord, but the fools will still vote Democrat.
Exactly!
Things are going to get worse and worse because Bay Area voters will keep voting Democrat.. how much worse will I have to get for a light goes on in their head? Maybe they’re just morons.
You are absolutely right. Honestly I am not sure what it will take before these folks stop just blindly voting for every democrat that is running.
