The more that is spent, the worse it gets, because the money doesn’t go to the homeless, it goes to the hundreds of “charities” that then treat the homeless as sources of revenue. The more homeless there are, the more money these organizations get, so their incentive is to increase, not decrease, homelessness! Whatever you incentivize will happen.

@elonmusk Incentives are why we have a massive Illegal immigrant problem. We give away free food, free housing, free health care and then wonder why we have a migrant problem. Incentives need to end.

@elonmusk Correct. When Garcetti declared “war on homelessness” in 2013 the city’s homeless outreach budget was $90 million and the pop in LA was ~23,000 By 2023 the budget was >$1 billion and the homeless pop more than doubled to 46,000 10x more $ for 2x more homeless. Big Govt math. https://t.co/99nhoqP5f8

@elonmusk Its all money laundering on the backs of people who are now more than just unfortunate. If a civ war ever does break out over the illegal aliens, I can tell you now there's going to be a million good ole boys strapped to the teeth in camouflage looking for target practice.

California is a peek into the future of the whole country if Kamala is installed. If they were serious about solving the problem, there would be incentives to get people back into homes and no incentive to stay homeless. If most of them are jobless, too, there should be job programs to get people started to get back into homes, and they would be looking at the skyrocketing cost of renting or other factors that are driving the increase of homeless people.

Since 2019, California has spent about $24 billion on homelessness, but in this five-year period, homelessness increased by about 30,000, to more than 181,000. Put differently, California spent the equivalent of about $160,000 per person (based on the 2019 figure) over the last five years.

@elonmusk So why not make a point of amplifying universal basic income advocates? You speak about UBI as a thing we can only do after AGI, but we can do it right now. We can reduce poverty + insecurity directly, which will reduce homelessness without middlemen orgs. https://t.co/dgq0Q9dUM5

It’s the cobra problem. Bad incentives create bad results. Same thing happened with DEI in video games. There was a demand for games to be more inclusive but since they already were, activists injected themselves into it and whipped up complaints about the lack of inclusivity, which in turn put their services in demand.

Each new homeless person that travels to California to take advantage of the weather and lenient attitude is worth ~$250K to the government and the "charities" and the activists who raise money off the problem. Just like immigration, they are causing the problems that only they can cure and it will just cost you $100 billion, step right up, we accept cash and credit
