    It’s southern california. The people living there have been born into the most privileged lives in the world in history. If anyone in pic ends up on the streets from this its the effect of choices they made leading up to it

        Dude… you were born in LA. You have to try to fail there. You’ve been given life on a silver platter. If you’re a native to SoCal, every obstacle you’ve ever faced is either fictional or your own fault

          what. what the fuck are you talking about? i was born about as far from LA as it is possible to be and still be a natural born US citizen. but i also pay enough attention to know the burritos they feed kids in schools across the country are made with prison labor in LA.

      The average per capita cost come in Los Angeles county in 2023 was $78,302, up from $29,938 according to FRED. Lots of millionaires live in LA, yes, but many poor folks too. Add this to the average cost of a home of ~$950,000 and the privilege seems less likely for those under the median.

      Besides, no one deserves to be homeless.
