    They can't afford to rent because the cost of government is way too high.

    It's not just a west coast phenomenon.

    I'd like to see the demographics of the homeless population. Get ready for this shocker, Chris.

    Are you sitting down? OK here we go...

    Recent figures released by the county show that Latino homelessness shot up by 63% in the past year, a staggering number in a county that saw its overall homeless population soar by 23%, despite increasing efforts to get people off the street.Nearly every demographic, including youth, families and veterans, showed increases in homelessness, but Latinos delivered one of the sharpest rises, adding more than 7,000 people to the surge.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The OP cites a surge on the west coast as the primary driver of this increase. Again, how could they let this happen?

    So what we're seing even on the West Coast is the aftermath of Obama's economic policies. It takes time for policy changes to hit the streets.

    Or it may be that all of the fires in CA of late have driven newly homeless people into places like LA.
