There are more than 150,000 homeless people in California, enough to fill the Rose Bowl and Dodger Stadium, combined. It is an appalling statistic, up by nearly 40,000 since its 2014 low point. In fact, 27 percent of all homeless persons in America live in California.
Rising homelessness is a humanitarian concern. It also produces public nuisances, such as the homeless blocking sidewalks, building entrances, and other public spaces. Mounting homelessness is also a threat to public safety and health due to swelling crime rates, open drug use, and the spread of illnesses, including medieval diseases that had been virtually eradicated in the modern world.
