无家可归者（在洛杉矶）——无家可归的人口在过去六年里激增了75%。

Homeless in L.A. – homeless population surges 75% in past six years. 

洛杉矶县有一个无家可归的危机。过去6年来，无家可归的人口猛增了75%，而房价又回到了顶峰。然而，家庭拥有率仍然徘徊在一代人的低点附近。加利福尼亚房屋租赁业大幅增长。调查继续发现千禧一代比他们的婴儿潮一代父母更喜欢不同的生活方式。忘记调查，看看实际市场。创纪录的低库存是由婴儿潮一代留住和缺乏房屋建设，由于核心的尼比尔主义。所以我们现在在洛杉矶发生无家可归的危机不足为奇。最近，在橙县，一大群无家可归者聚集在各个地区，这些地区将迁往该县的富庶地区，人们开始罢工。那么我们从这里去哪里呢？
无家可归的兴起
这是一个大问题，发生在一个没有声音的群体中：
“（洛杉矶时报）在过去的六年里，住在L.A.市和大多数县的街道和庇护所的人数激增了75%人，从大约32000人增加到大约55000人。（包括格伦代尔、帕萨迪纳和长滩，他们自己无家可归，总数接近58000。）
洛杉矶流浪者
请记住，这是在股市繁荣和房地产价值飙升的时候发生的。失业率很低，但你有一个双峰市场——一小群富裕的购买者和投资者，一个更大的工人阶级，根本无法购买。你有一个清教徒式的想法，从住房啦啦队，不知何故，年轻人购买太多的星巴克，因此他们无力储蓄，为首付的百万美元垃圾桶。是的，垃圾桶是一个合适的术语：
韩国城的人们走出他们的豪华公寓，在他们的门口发现帐篷、腐烂的食物和粪便。公共汽车和火车已经成为事实上的庇护所，成千上万的人在恐惧和堕落中沉睡。
然而，很明显，一些人生活在一个住房泡沫中，生活着一种We E型的生活方式——变得肥胖和懒惰，目光短浅。他们提倡自由市场，但只有在方便的时候，更像是房地产行业的社会福利。你只需要在洛杉矶县以任何方式行驶5英里，你就会发现系统中有裂缝：
洛杉矶县无家可归计划的负责人Phil Ansell说：“我们正在把更多无家可归的家庭和成年人搬进住房。”“我们没有控制的是资金流入：那些根本无力支付租金的人。”
然而，你有人付房租，但在许多市场里，你的人生活得像沙丁鱼，街道上充斥着大量的汽车，因为家庭需要多个薪水来支付租金。当然，许多人对此没有异议，假装它是某种自由市场资本主义。不，这是最好的任人唯亲和尼比尔主义。有足够的空间建设更多的住房。开发商将拆除单一的家庭街区，建造纽约式摩天大楼。但是，不，人们想保留他们的废话窝棚，并将斗争的钉子，因为他们得到他们的。根本不是自由市场。

无家可归者在六年内增长了75%，这应该说明问题。你甚至在三藩看到这些问题，典型的家庭需要150万美元。随着岁月的流逝，L.A.变得越来越像Gotham了。

There is a homelessness crisis in Los Angeles County.  The homeless population has surged by 75% in the last six years all the while home prices are back to peak levels.  Yet the home ownership rate still hovers near generational lows. California has seen massive growth in rental household formation.  Surveys continue to find that Millennials prefer different living styles than their baby boomer parents.  Forget about surveys, just look at the actual market.  Record low inventory is being driven by baby boomers staying put and the lack of home building thanks to hardcore NIMBYism.  So it is no surprise that we now have a homeless crisis in L.A. County.  Recently, in Orange County a large group of homeless encamped in various areas where set to be moved into affluent areas of the county and people went ballistic.  So where do we go from here?

The rise of homelessness

This is a big problem and is happening to a group with really no voice:

“(L.A. Times) The number of those living in the streets and shelters of the city of L.A. and most of the county surged 75% — to roughly 55,000 from about 32,000 — in the last six years. (Including Glendale, Pasadena and Long Beach, which conduct their own homeless counts, the total is nearly 58,000.)”

Keep in mind this has occurred during a booming stock market and a time when real estate values are soaring.  The unemployment rate is low but you have a bimodal market – a smaller group of affluent buyers and investors and a larger working class that is simply unable to buy.  You have this Puritanical notion from housing cheerleaders that somehow, younger people are buying too much Starbucks hence their inability to save for a down payment for the million-dollar crap shack.    And yes, crap shack is an appropriate term:

“People in Koreatown step outside their fancy condos to find tents, rotting food and human feces at their doorsteps. Buses and trains have become de facto shelters, and thousands of people sleep in fear and degradation.”

Yet it is clear that some are living inside a housing bubble living a Wall-E type lifestyle – getting fat and lazy with myopic vision.  They advocate a free market but only when it is convenient –more like social welfare for the real estate industry.  You need only drive 5 miles in any way in L.A. County and you will find cracks in the system:

“We are moving more homeless families and adults into housing,” said Phil Ansell, director of the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative. “What we have less control over is the inflow: people who simply are unable to pay the rent.”

Yet you have people paying the rent but in many markets you have people living like sardines and streets are filled with tons of cars because households need multiple paychecks to pay the rent.  Of course many see no issue in this and pretend it is some sort of free market capitalism.  No, this is cronyism and NIMBYism at its best.  There is plenty of room to build more housing.  Developers would knock down single family blocks and build New York style skyscrapers given current rents.  But no, people want to keep their crap shacks and will fight tooth and nail since they got theirs.  Not a free market at all.

The fact that homelessness went up by 75% in six years should be telling.  You even see these issues in San Francisco where the typical home goes for $1.5 million.  L.A. is becoming more like Gotham as the years go by.
