Officials from the Trump administration have met with local agencies and advocates in Los Angeles about the federal government getting more involved in assisting with the homelessness crisis in the state.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday his administration has warned officials in Los Angeles and other cities in California to "clean it up."...

...Speaking at a GOP lawmaker retreat in Baltimore -- a city he said earlier this summer was "rat and rodent infested" -- Trump claimed businesses are leaving Democratic-controlled cities.

"We're going to fight for the future of cities like Baltimore that have been destroyed by decades of failed and corrupt rule," the president said. "These are our great American cities, and they're an embarrassment."

Trump has made it a campaign issue, saying in August at a Make America Great Again rally in Ohio: "Nearly half of all the homeless people living in the streets in America happen to live in the state of California. What they are doing to our beautiful California is a disgrace to our country. It's a shame the world is looking at it. Look at Los Angeles with the tents and the horrible, horrible disgusting conditions. Look at San Francisco. Look at some of your other cities."

A White House official confirmed there was an administration team on the ground in California this week on a fact-finding mission about the homelessness crisis but didnt elaborate on specific options being discussed.

"Like many Americans, the President has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation, and poor public service delivery are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks," White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement. "In June, the President took action and signed an Executive Order to confront the regulatory barriers to affordable housing development, a leading cause of homelessness. President Trump has directed his team to go further and develop a range of policy options for consideration to deal with this tragedy."...


The People's President. :)

Wait, that's exactly what he wants to do.

What's the Democrat solution? California is controlled almost entirely by Democrats. So is Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, New York, etc.

That was rhetorical. They can't just ask to leave.

Cities in general are, not "liberal" or "conservative" cities.

The Democrats' solution to dealing with crime rates in areas with high concentration of poor was to do literally that. In some states like New Jersey, every town is legally required to make sure that a certain percentage of their housing is low income housing, and studies have shown that distributing poor people in such a manner actually has an impact on crime.

The solution to slums was literally to push them somewhere else. It's basically an application of socialism, but applied to poor people. And it works.

Cities can have an overwhemlingly number of liberal voters, and in these cities homelessness is rapant.

Why is this?

Well, I was referring to homeless people, which is what this topic is about. But you seem to be trying to derail your own topic with that comment.

How is rounding people up and forcing them into facilities an example of a good solution for homelessness in your interesting mind?

This gives an idea. It shows conservative states have a lower homelessness percent. Interesting to say the least.

That's not pushing them somewhere else, that's giving them somewhere else to go.

Well, they did illegally cross an international border, so they have to answer for that crime. But I see no reason why they can't go home eventually.

As will George Clooney, Nancy Pelosi, etc. In fact, I heard Clooney sold his house in Europe. Surely, it was to donate it to all the refugees in Europe.

liberal cities do seem to often have problems with drugs and homelessness like how conservative rural areas have problems with drugs and homelessness. It almost makes me think that drugs exist and not everyone can afford residence.

Most of them are rural/suburban areas and don't have as many people populating them.

I looked at the link detailing the most conservative cities. Mesa, AZ has a homeless population of 3200, and roughly 500,000 people. Thats roughly 0.6% of the population.

Los Angeles by comparison is at 1.5% Thats almost triple the rate. A fair question to wonder.

It's also Los Angeles, one of the most popular cities not only in the U.S., but in the entire world. This is going to drive up the cost of living and make it less affordable to live in.
