  1. From the article: ‘“I have a government that is ignoring the basic needs of human civilization,” Dr. Drew said, exasperated.’

    Sums up the entitled modern day progressive mind-set quite well, actually.

  2. It’s disgusting here in CA. There are LITERALLY homeless encampments under every freeway overpass in CA. Every single elevated freeway in Oakland is a shantytown of trashed building materials and tents. Every public park in Oakland has been overrun with homeless tents. Canvas is stretched across the children’s swing sets and play structures.

    And downtown LA is literally a shithole … equal to the worst Haitian shantytown. We’re allowing the dumping of the dregs of Central American society into CA. What did the supermajority leftist CA Legislature expect when they announced FREE shit for everyone!!??

    BTW … I am finally VERY impressed to hear someone of note – like Dr Drew – poo poo (sorry) the notion that this is a “housing problem” and to cite the cartoonish caricature of Hollywooden films as emptying our mental hospitals. Finally! We may be having a SERIOUS conversation about the destruction of CA.

    1. IIRC in Len Dighton’s “Fighter” there is this comment on the pre-WW2 notion “that the bomber will always get through” and a developing interest in how to prevent that –

      “Bombing would kill voters: accurate bombing could even kill politicians”

      Sounds like LA is due for a re-run of that in the public health area

  3. The Main-land has to treat California as an Island shit hole… The Quarantine of all California city boundaries’ with WALLS to keep them inside, easy to get in…. Impossible to get out….Hollywood reality show opportunity

  4. Well…uhm,,,, a plague of medieval proportions would certainly get rid of the “homeless” problem….

    Just saying….

  5. If it gets into those trash houses, and the infected go pneumonic that’ll provide some real world entertainment for those lefty fools.

  6. Can I register as someone who doesn’t give a crap about L.A., or California, period?

    Self inflicted wounds.

  7. If it does then let it die and quarantine the entire state. Time to put a stop to the unending socialist bullshit.

  8. The left has longed for the glorious golden days of feudalism, particularly before the Magna Carta, which was the beginning of human rights.

    They’re slowly getting their wish, complete with a pestilence that, hundreds of years ago, significantly reduced the population of Europe as well as a ruling class that owns everything and downtrodden, impoverished serfs dependent upon the mercy of the lords of the manor.

  9. The favelas are establishing themselves. Remember all cultures are equal. It’s whitey’s fault.

  10. heeeey no need to panic folks, ’tis just a ploy by the hollyweird mandarins to save money on a slew of
    ‘game of drones’ setting blockbusters.
    they need LOTS and LOTS of realistic scenes showing conditions at the time.
    m’kay?
    sum tings nebber change eh? like the VERY lethal consequences of lacklustre response from officialdom.
    does this have anything to do with The End Times? what say youse Rev 1318?

  11. The comments seem to point to the failings of our glorious lefty brothers, sisters, (and others) in LaLa land. However, I’m concerned that these diseases will spread behind the borders of LA and SF and ultimately everyone pays the price.

    If only we had an insecticide that has been proven to safely kill the bugs that carry many of these diseases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT

    At least in AB we don’t have to worry about the rat borne diseases (for now). I will now be emailing my MLA to maintain the rat patrol budget.

    1. The article isn’t correct. Rats may or may not carry yersinia pestis, but the fleas on them certainly do. That might seem like a distinction without a difference but cleaning up the rats is only part of the problem. If you don’t also control the fleas they’ll just migrate to stray cats and humans. Y. pestis flourishes when the temperature drops; the three great plague outbreaks in Europe were preceded by unusually colder, drier years in North Africa where Y. pestis is native. So a combination of a new Dalton Minimum and L.A.’s batsh*t insane approach to the homeless problem is a perfect storm waiting to happen. Escape From L.A. damn well may be the only solution.

  12. Just as a note, there’s a full-time homeless encampment in a [former] park in Vancouver, from which it is apparently illegal to evict them. Give it time.

  13. Nanaimo too, was enduring a downtown ‘tent city’ cleverly dubbed by the squatters as “DisconTENT City”. There were apparently about 350 people “in need of affordable housing” to which the city donated two very valuable parcels of land, while the province brought in Atco camp housing and erected a tall wooden fence around both free housing developments. While they were going in, I noticed a couple of Shaw Cable trucks and also noted that the buildings are air-conditioned.

    When the free housing was offered, there were only 180 of the original 350 who were willing to take advantage. The rest were clearly political agitators using the rest as their useful idiots to bash the very society paying their bills.

    Things have been terrible for the established local residents and police attend several times daily – not to mention first responders dealing with OD’s – and we’re paying for 24/7 security at both sites. People have to do daily sweeps of the area for needles and crap and parents fear for their kids. Meanwhile, city council is of the opinion that we are all obligated to do our share, accepting the anti-social behavior and the precipitous drop in property values.

    They really believe (or claim to) that once they’ve provided all the obligation free necessities of life, (which will shortly include on-site ‘safe injection’ and government provided quality drugs), that these folks will begin the journey back to wellness and productivity.

    I’ve had discussions with council members, expressing that homelessness does not result in anti-social behavior, but rather the reverse. We’ve given them responsibility free food, shelter, counselling and anything else they require, but the anti-social behavior against their neighbours continues unabated . For some reason councillors don’t think that an attractive, very left wing city with the best climate in Canada that cares for their every need, WON’T attract another cadre of the ‘homeless’ to start the cycle anew.

    Every left turn lane on our roads has a panhandler, sign in hand, asking for our compassion and almost without exception, they are in their twenties or early thirties, able bodied and not looking like they’re physically, mentally or emotionally incapable of working. Meanwhile, there are help wanted signs for entry level jobs all over the city.

    We are patsies.

    1. no guff, every were they build housing for the low end crowd there end result is the same. They destroy the new housing , and ruin the neighborhood.

      1. {cough}Reservations.{cough}

        People, in general, assign no esteem or value to that which they were given and did not earn. Some people are just a waste of resources.

  14. Hollywood hasn’t produced a block-buster disaster movie for some time.

    “‘Bubonic plague wipes out Los Angeles’, the horror film of the 21st Century !

    On Rodeo Drive, see the real walking dead ,
    Where Godzilla & King Kong fear to tread!
    Porsche´s broadcasting “Bring Out Your Dead”.

    Raw footage by sterile suited camera crews,
    a remake of Dante’s Inferno, is the real news.

    But isn’t Hollywood is a suburb of Los Angeles?
    One full of Cult. Marxist fantasy-landers ?

    Then the climate of Sodom/Gomorah went hostile.
    Followed by a giant Pacific tsunami of cleansing.
    All that remained… a giant Oscar, made of salt.

  15. By design?
    We make it difficult for our progressive comrades to just come out and start killing the unwanted masses.
    They currently lack the power that Moe and Stalin used,but a pandemic..
    that will kill tons of poor people and has some political “plausible deniablity” built right in.Remember these are the people who promote planned parenthood.
    Same people who created the “Klan”.
    Same people who have “controlled Detroit” for generations.
    And you can’t say the Californian Progressives are any different,right now they are focussed on driving the middle class right out of the state.
