Dec 5, 2019 - In the latest skirmish over California’s homeless crisis, the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom, asked President Donald Trump on Thursday to stop withholding federal housing vouchers that could benefit 50,000 homeless people. Newsom told Trump he could “immediately order” the ...Newsom on Wednesday allocated $650 million directly to counties and cities to address homelessness across the state, saying he was frustrated with the federal government’s slow process in allowing him to release the state funds.

The money has been held up waiting for HUD to certify an annual “point-in-time” count of homeless people on a single morning in January. The count is used to determine funding allocations.

Wait a minute

Fed vouchers?

So, this is already standard Fed policy?
 
Why are Trumpers/so called conservatives not condemning that Trump would be happy to help these states if they asked nicely?(LOL)

Okay.... this right here will put an end to all your "spin"

So in other words this will happen regardless to the Trump rhetoric?

Not a single word of that is true. Boulder has affordable housing. In fact, you can't even pull a construction permit for new development without investing in affordable housing (usually on North Broadway). Many of the "domestic help" live in north and east Boulder. Highway 36 has always existed. One additional lane (not 4) was added in each direction. Only the 2 new lanes require transponder fees because Australia funded the construction when the state and federal governments ****ed over residents along the corridor. Every exit that ever existed is still there. In fact, the municipal governments along the turnpike rebuilt the overpasses and ramps at their expense. Oh, Boulder has always had an airport too. Not a syllable of what you typed is accurate.

For starters, Boulder has an airport. That's true. But apart from the occasional air taxi, there is no commercial traffic. It's a large gliding airport, with general aviation mostly single engine homed there. The Denver Boulder Turnpike I believe is the road east you are referring to. Runs from Boulder to whatever north federal is called. Nowhere near the Denver airport. I 470 runs from I 25 about 50 miles to DIA with two total access points + beginning and end. I believe it's a sticker only access road. So that's two.

Affordable housing is mostly student geared housing.

No, it's not even remotely "homegrown".

Yes it is. And many of them are addicts who refuse to accept treatment.

Denver doesn't put homeless people on RTD buses.

That's what you just said and since I refuted it with anecdotal evidence now you want to backtrack. You can't be taken seriously.

If you'd bothered to interact with other humans anywhere on Pearl Street, you wouldn't be saying such stupid/false things.
Click to expand...

Pearl Street is an overrated tourist hub that's filled with homeless people literally sleeping on the ground, and on Boulder County property that resides on that street. And rich Libs walk up and down that street every day eating their overpriced gourmet ice cream without a care in the world that a smelly drug addict is laying on the ground within 10 feet of them. Your trash posts are getting ridiculous.

I know a lot of people who have misconceptions about Boulder.
Click to expand...

Just because you defend your hypocritical rich Lib city filled with bums doesn't mean everyone else has to. Fallacies don't work around here. And like I mentioned earlier, ask those same Libs to let those homeless people stay in their mansions and then let me know of their answer.

The city council is made up of well off Libs, who collude together to keep developers from bringing more money into the city, as well as keeping the housing market inflated by heavily enforcing housing ordinances so their rich Libs can keep buying established 1,500 square foot properties for $1.5 million or more.

You and jimbo, however, haven't said a single word about Boulder that's true. Spare us your inadequate interpretation of a misleading paragraph you read about Boulder's liberal policies.

LOL you got caught in a lie and backtracked. You got owned about Boulder. Your irrational staunch defense of such a hypocritical, Lib owned racist city filled with a massive homegrown homeless population speaks volumes about your character.

How about this - stop gerrymandering the seats and let everybody have a real choice between a Republican and a Democrat?

No wait, your solution is to make Trump our divine Emperir.

LOL again if Libs want help controlling their states, they should give up their seats since they've proved to be inept.

Conservatives didn’t just elect America’s biggest con artist, the man who created Trump University and the Trump Network and the Trump Institute and the Trump Foundation and all his other scams. They rallied behind him with an absolutely rapturous fervor, long after everyone understood exactly what he is. They cheer every lie he tells them, repeat every bizarre argument he makes and treat him like a demigod walking amongst us.

BTW, 36 runs north south on the western edge of Denver. It doesn't come within 20 miles of Boulder.
 
If the head of HUD that idiot savant would do his job they would already have the vouchers in place.

Homelessness is a problem that's biased toward cities and temperate climates. Metropolitan communities tend to be more liberal than rural, less dense communities. That doesn't make homelessness a liberal problem, construction, or fault. This is a great example of the difficulties that some people have differentiating between correlation and causation. Trump is pulling a classic Trump and trying to get the cult to blame homelessness on liberals. Please think. If you think, you won't fall for this.

Where correlation and causation are involved, I suspect that the great majority of legislation is based on information that would be facts of correlation, not causation. So, simply saying that “correlation is not causation” does not negate an argument based on information that can’t prove causation in legislation, public support and governance. Most cases cannot show causation and must be based on the strength of the correlation used to support a claim. In fact, science does not, or rarely, proceeds to theory without proof of correlation. So, the question is, why do these cities and states have so high a % of homelessness? If being liberal is a correlation, what are the correlation in liberal governments not present in conservative governments that can be claimed a correlation to homelessness? If there were to be found reason for high rates of homeless to do with liberal governance, is it good/acceptable/exculpatory reason?

The OP makes provocative statement as if to support the “why” of homelessness, but certainly no valid or significant evidence of fact that add up to support the claim that high percentage of homeless states are due to liberal governance.
