Is Homelessness A “Designed” Crisis?

Finally, some honesty from the progressive-induced homeless crisis sweeping USA as LA’s homeless director resigned as tens of thousands litter city’s street saying: “Homelessness is a crisis we made.”


As Fox reported: “Heidi Marston, exec director of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, resigned from the board" & announced the news on Twitter. Ms. Marston’s resignation letter was also shared on a website identifying “shadow monsters” like “systemic racism,” as well as “low wages & high cost of living, lack of access to affordable healthcare, inequity in education & housing, all of which she argued contribute to the origin & growth of homelessness in LA.”


Yet, the same or similar could be said for most large cities who have created systems (often with federal money) supposedly designed to fight homelessness but that only seems to make it grow, sometimes by double digits (as in San Francisco). In city after city we see so-called “partnerships,” for instance, in which governments pay a large web of non-profits to “help” the homeless by programs that unwittingly encourage them to … STAY ON THE STREET. In DC, millions are spent by a seemingly endless number of agencies providing shelter, food, health care, education, legal aid, job referrals, drug counseling, even “emergency” cash, that never seems to stop once started. The duplication of services & cross-referring among the providers is duplicated over and over again, until what’s on first, who’s on second and I don’t know’s on third. There has to be a better way … Concluded Ms. Marston: “We can unmake [the crisis] if we only have the will” and brains to do so.
