LA is just the latest city which has converted itself into a literal open sewer.

FTA: "Residents argued that homelessness is the top problem facing the county, with 94 percent of voters viewing it as a serious or very serious problem." Instead of admitting their mistake in who they elect, or hounding the hell out of their elected officials to fix the problem, they'll move somewhere "safe" and then start pushing for again Equity. I say wall the place off and let it be a living reminder of the fruit of Marxism laid bare for all to see.

And of course the mayor thinks he should be president. It really is as bad as they say. I was just there and the Hollywood Walk of Fame is full of vagrants openly defecating on the sidewalk. Tents are everywhere and the streets are full of drugged out zombies. The government at all levels is useless.

Our local U-Haul facility here in the FL Panhandle is huge and continues to expand......i suspect it does so to handle all of the eastbound traffic.

The fifth that want to leave should have to live in the cesspool they helped create.

But, but you are the residents who pay the outrageous taxes to keep these poor souls supplied with tents, blankets, food, water and clean needles. How are they going to live? You are also the morons who voted for the mayor and that horrendous city council. Stay and take your medicine!

I hear Portland or Chigago is a good place for them to move to.

And what was the percentage that voted for Trump in 2020? They are getting the diversity and inclusion they yearned for. What's the complaint?

A couple of thoughts from an ex-Californian ....
The homeless crisis won’t ever be “fixed” until you address the rampant drug issue. Yes housing costs are high, but that doesn’t explain the huge ever increasing number of homeless. Providing tents, “tiny houses” or used RV’s are humane but are only a stopgap until the massive amounts of meth and fentynal pouring over our open border to the south are stopped. The majority of homeless are addicts and/ or mentally ill - the drugs help fuel their mental illness and there is little or no desire on their part to change their lives. It would take harsh measures to genuinely help the homeless FOR THEIR OWN GOOD. No politician has the political will to do that. A lot of the voters would be against it too. It is easier to enable the homeless lifestyle in a misguided idea of kindness. Fixing the border is the FIRST STEP in fixing the homeless problem.
Next, the idea that “Californians have the governor they voted for.” Well I am not so sure of that. Gavin Newsom’s polling number a few weeks before his recall were terrible - it looked like he was on his way out for sure. Deservedly so. And then he handily won the recall by a greater margin than his original election - how did that happen? In that one-party controlled state you don’t think there is election fraud? C’mon man!
I left my native state and took my conservative voting habits with me because I have no hope for California anymore.

No, no, no. Don't let anybody in LA leave the city. They voted for the disaster and the same crooks time and time again. Live with it.

The Democrats control all the major cities. All have been turned into filth and crime. The Democrats count the votes though, so they never lose an election.
