A lot of those homeless are mentally ill. A friend of one of my grandsons had schizophrenia and wouldn't take his meds. He'd go off and no one would see him for weeks. He'd show up at my daughter's because my son-in-law was very kindhearted so this boy would know he'd be welcomed for awhile. Johnny even bought him a small tent and sleeping bag when this boy wanted to leave again. They ended up getting stolen because he'd just up and walk away from them. Finally, his dad was able to get him committed, which isn't an easy thing to do any more.

I blame Pres. Reagan for the homeless problem in California from when he was Gov. Downtown L.A. is absolutely the worst place. Low income can't afford anything in California.
