How San Diego 'solves' homelessness.

Backers of California homeless camp ban cite ‘successful’ San Diego law. But is it? calmatters.org/housing/homele…

This is the NBC 7 San Diego report on a new California State Audit (bit.ly/Homeless_Spend…) that examined outcomes of spending millions on various programs to address #homelessness in the cities of San Jose and San Diego

Many thanks to Michael McConnell for pointing out the…

This isn't going to surprise anyone. The Mayor's response is give us more money. You'd be foolish to give our city leaders more money when they can't even tell you what they've accomplished with the 100's of millions they've already received.

Hey Mayor @Todd Gloria, this message is for you.

That is a lot of vehicles. And they wonder why our city is broke.

Taking away bathrooms will solve homelesness. San Diego is a special kind of stupid.
