Philadelphia the Unbelievable Corruption Taking Place in the City of Brotherly Love

OH , I dunno, I think the Marxists give the Mafia a run for everyone’s money. Just an update, the Santa Cruz City Council just approved $30,000 (twice the amount requested) for a “tenant sanctuary” group made up of the 5 most vocal tenant/homeless/rent control/illegals SJW advocates to hire lawyers to advise illegals in rental matters against citizen landlords, and put it on the Consent Agenda presuming it was not even worth public comment or council discussion of course all in the name of tenant protections. The council member who suggested they double the amount also justified it saying matters under $100,000 aren’t even worth the councils consideration. Of course she’s a close associate (live in the same house complex) with known communist sociology professor at UCSC, the author of the most odious ever failed rent control initiative that keeps coming back for council consideration in bits and pieces.

I speak at every meeting now even though they are busy doing homework and don’t listen to the people at all.

The latest idea is to open 6 public spaces to allow homeless camping so they can shoot heroin/meth up with a little dignity. Of course they have to issue a declaration of emergency for that, to get the 10 million state aid, but that also allows them to suspend health, safety, environmental review across the city if the so choose (reads that way for now) to allow public defecation , loitering , parking law suspension (RV homeless) and the like.

Goggle Ross Camp Santa Cruz for an idea of what’s going on here, there’s 14 million hits and counting so it’s not like the homeless that come here don’t know we’re here. (It’s a camp of 100-200 tent homeless , 50% of which are heroin users that Medical says ran up a 51 million bill the last year for injection infections, 4 dead, one overdose and the other 3 pending toxicology). The city passes out 300-600 needles a day and narcam. The police are showing up at council meetings saying that saving they aren’t getting paid enough to put out homeless tent fires with propane tanks around waiting for fire dept to arrive. I could go on, and on and on.

For some humor, I decided to take the other side. Actually the economics of the poor are actually working (not with actual working, a city specialty with more non-profits, government agencies, and vocal advocates looking for a hand out and 11.6x the national average of homeless).

I mean really, just the 10 + 51 million the homeless bring into the city from the states emergency fund and Medical is worth about $45,500 per homeless, 1.5 times the average income. No wonder they want more and make them welcome with VIP squatter zones (gotta close Ross Camp and set up better ones, but both sides, the city and the homeless advocates, don’t want it closed until 100% shelter is built). The Medical director said close it ASAP it’s a toxic threat to the health of the city, but he doesn’t carry much weight.
Anyway it’s a good dang thing the state of California is similarly ideologically possessed with the economy of the poor thingy, because otherwise they would cut us off. California does the same though, sucking off the mother of all teats the Federal government which we all pay for, and with deficit spending also the unborn who don’t vote much.

Just thought you’d like to now how’s it’s a going here, different, but not so different than the 30 blocks.
