为什么加州街头有如此多无家可归者?

According to U.S. Department of Housing statistics, the number of homeless people in California has increased by 40% in the last 5 years. California is home to 12% of the U.S. population, but is home to half of the population living on the streets of the United States. An estimated 66,000 homeless people live in Los Angeles County alone. Some might think that this problem has not been solved due to lack of resources, however, California in recent years has approved all kinds of taxes and mechanisms aimed specifically at this problem. In the 2021 state budget, $12 billion was committed to address homelessness over the next 2 years. To get a sense of what this amount means, if you were to divide that value by the number of homeless people statewide (160,000), each person is allocated $75,000. So the questions are: why hasn't so much money solved the problem for years? Why hasn't the free market been able to provide solutions? And, how could a law that went into effect in early 2022 be an initial step toward solving the crisis?

据美国住房部的统计数据显示,加州无家可归者的数量在过去5年里增加了40%,加州的人口仅占美国总人口的12%,但它却是美国一半没家可归者的聚集地。据统计,光是在洛杉矶县就有66000名无家可归者。有人可能会认为这个问题之所以没有得到妥善解决是因为加州政府缺乏相关资源。然而事实上加州近年来批准了各种各样针对这个问题的税收减免机制并建立了大量致力于解决该问题的相关机构。在2021年的州财政预算中,政府承诺将花费120亿美元以期在未来两年内解决这个问题。如果你想更加直观地了解这个数字的话,只需要将这个数字除以全加州无家可归者的数量(16万),得出的结论就是每个人可以分到7.5万美元。那么问题来了:为什么加州多年来花了如此多的钱却依旧没能解决这个问题?为什么自由市场无法为这一问题提供解决方案?而且,2022年初生效的法律是否又能成为我们解决危机的第一步?

We have a lot of homelessness in Phoenix. It is so hot here and the prices just to rent has skyrocketed

我们凤凰城也有很多无家可归之人,这里实在太热了,而且房租的价格也在飞涨。

Same in Florida, not quite the same heat (we have more humidity...and gators) but the costs of living have increased rapidly which is displacing people. There are many Florida state jobs at the professional grade that don't pay enough to afford rent in the communities the jobs are located in. It's crazy!

佛罗里达的情况也一样,我们这没有那么热(不过我们这湿度更高,而且还有鳄鱼)然而生活成本正在飞速上升,人们渐渐被挤出了这座城市。很多在佛罗里达州从事专业工作的人所拿到的工资依旧不够让他们在自己所工作的社区租到房子,这实在太疯狂了。

Jessica McNally
The problem is everywhere now, housing costs and energy costs are very high everywhere now.

这个问题已经无处不在了,如今的住房成本和能源成本实在太高了。

Lol no it's barely anywhere. Only a few cities that won't keep their streets clean. All those people in those areas are bums not just the homeless. We would never let our community look so trashy. Shame on you.

哈哈,不,并没有无处不在哦。只有少数几座城市的街道会邋遢到那种地步。那些游荡在街头上的人们可不仅仅是无家可归者,他们更像是流浪汉才对。我们永远不会让自己的社区看起来如此下作。你们实在太丢人了。

Guess what, I walk around everyday and talk with the homeless here in SF, and most tell me they aren't even from CA. I'm told by a lot of people that they were given a bus ride on greyhound from out of state. Unlike other cities, we don't ship people like they are trash. Yes, there are a lot of homeless in CA, but look at your own state and how they handle the problem.

你们猜怎么着?我每天都会在旧金山街头和那些无家可归的人们聊天,大多数人都跟我说他们甚至并不来自加州。很多人告诉我,他们是在州外被人与送上灰狗巴士运过来的。不像其他城市,我们可不会像运输垃圾一般把人赶走。是的,加州确实有很多无家可归的人,但是你们先看看自己州什么德行吧,看看他们究竟是如何处理这个问题的。

It’s California’s version of affordable housing.

这就是加州版的经济适用房。

Asian American Advice
It's not about high housing costs. The cities of Austin, LA, Phoenix and others for instance have very large populations of immigrants arriving with nearly nothing. They are mostly Hispanic and sometimes Asian people who came here illegally and often owe someone a lot of money for passage into the Southwest. They make up a very tiny proportion of the homeless from my research. And in fact they endup making a ton of cash sometimes and bring over more people to make another pile of cash. As the point is, drugs create houselessness in the USA. See the numerous interviews online, for instance TALES FROM THE STREETS YouTube channel. Anyhow, I feel for the recent people who were addicted and lost their family support and end up on the streets. I pray for them.

这个问题和高昂的住房成本无关。举个例子吧,奥斯丁,洛杉矶,凤凰城等城市有大量的移民,他们刚刚踏足美国时几乎一无所有。其中有很多非法进入美国的西班牙裔以及一些亚裔。
他们为了能够进入美国西南部欠下了一屁股债。然而这帮人仅占据了无家可归者数量的极小一部分。事实上,他们甚至能最终赚到一大笔钱,并吸引更多人非法移民进入美国赚钱。因此问题的重点就是,美国之所以有如此多无家可归者实际上是因为毒品。我们可以在网上看到很多的相关采访,比如油管频道“街头的故事”。无论如何,我依旧非常同情那些因为吸毒成瘾而失去家庭支持并最终沦落至街头的人们。我为他们祈祷。

Most of them are from other states where it has an inhumane climate for homelessness.

他们中大多数都是来自其他州,那些地方的气候对无家可归者而言实在太残酷了。

I make $73,000 a year and I can barely afford a 1bd apartment by myself. Unless you live with roommates

我一年能挣73000美元,但是还是没法自己一个人租一套公寓,还是得找室友合租。

CryptoPunk888
There are a lot of homeless people that are not from California. California doesn’t harass them like other state or city thus they all congregate in CA. Plus, there are too much benefits for homeless vs a lot of red states

很多无家可归者其实并不来自加州。因为加州不像其他州或者城市那样去骚扰他们,所以这些人都聚集到了加州。此外,与很多红州相比,无家可归者能在加州收获更多的福利。

The problem is we overvalue human lives. The simple solution is to gather these people up and put them in an isolated town or prison like location where they're free to do as they please without the rest of us being frightened with them

问题的关键在于我们高估了人类生命的价值。最简单的解决办法就是将这帮人聚集在一起,将他们关进一个与世隔绝的小镇或者监狱里。在那里,他们可以自由自在地做他们想要做的事情,而我们其他人也能免受他们的惊吓。

Jaybee Delacruz
It has become a lifestyle

无家可归已经成为一种生活风格了。

You have to think like a corporation to understand. People as products and a lot of product is not needed in many areas, so you need to warehouse them some place until that day they pass away and it has to be at a minimum cost. To move the good products out of Cali and move unwanted products to Cali.

我们必须像一家企业般思考才能真正理解这个问题。人就像是一件产品,很多产品在很多领域里都是不被需要的,所以你需要做的就是将这些产品储存到某个地方,直到他们去世为止,而且我们还必须将储存成本降到最低。把优秀的产品运出加州,再把那些不被需要的产品运回加州。

That's because all the homeless people around the USA are being bused to CALIFORNIA by their social workers..... all homeless people come here for nice warm weather and homeless benefits offered by gov.

那是因为美国所有的无家可归者都被他们当地的社会工作者们用巴士送到了加州....这些无家可归者在这里享受到了温暖的气候以及加州政府为无家可归者提供的福利。

Often families send their teenagers addicted to fentanyl to Cali.

而且很多家庭也会把自己那些芬太尼上瘾的孩子送去加州。

Prices are too high in California, if you don't pay rent you can buy more drugs with the money you have. I had been homeless so I'm not talking out the of my neck. Most Americans live pretty much paycheck to paycheck. Lose your job homeless. Get sick can't work homeless. Screw off a paycheck getting high or drunk homeless. As you can see the problem runs pretty deep. Starting in grade school teaching money management would be a great start........

加州的物价实在太高了,如果你不付房租的话,你就能用更多的钱购买毒品了。我也曾无家可归过,所以我不是在胡言乱语。大多数美国人都是月光族。如果他们失去工作的话就会无家可归,如果他们生病了没法工作也会无家可归。把工资花在嗑药和酗酒上~~无家可归!如你们所见,这个问题十分严重。从小学起就教导学生理财会是一个很好的开始....

That's horrible, why do they say America is the dream land?

这太可怕了,那为什么他们还说美国是梦想国度?

in America you can make it and be a millionaire but not everyone is that lucky , although Asian and Jews are immigrants they are middle class to very rich and living the American dream but 70% of Americans are paycheck to paycheck .

你在美国有机会成为百万富翁,但是并不是每一个人都能这么幸运。亚裔和犹太人虽然是移民,但是他们往往能身处中产或者富裕阶级,他们将美国梦活成了现实,但是70%的美国人都得靠工资勉强度日。

1 In 2022 there are 150 million people worldwide living in homelessness, of which 600K+ live in the US.
2 The US, China, India, Russia, UK, Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, Japan, and South Korea military spending in 2020 was $1.483 trillion. Imagine the defense spending of those 10 countries since 1970!
3 That huge amount of money could’ve been used to end homelessness worldwide.

1,2022年全球总共有1.5亿名无家可归者。其中有60多万生活在美国。
2,美国,中国,印度,俄罗斯,英国,沙特,德国,法国,日本和韩国在2020年的军费支出总额为1.483万亿美元。想象一下吧,这10个国家自1970年以来究竟在国防上花了多少钱!这么一大笔钱本可以被用来解决全世界范围内的无家可归问题。

Another problem is in California, it is very difficult to evict tenants. Landlord does not want to rent house to poor people.

加州的另一个问题在于房东很难驱逐欠缴房租的房客。所以房东自然不愿意将房子租给穷人。

California is where homeless people go from all over USA. Florida is the second choice for homeless people. The difference between California and Florida is the Policies of the states. Florida is like most of American states. They don't bother the homeless as long as they stay hidden in the shelters, woods, under bridges, abandoned homes and apartments. California is unique in the fact that they allow homeless to be out in the open. Most of California homeless came to California homeless. They fled their home state because of harassment by Police and no type of services.

加州是美国各地无家可归者的聚集地,佛罗里达则他们的第二选择。加州和佛罗里达的区别在于州镇府的政策。佛罗里达和美国大多数州一样。他们不会去打扰那些无家可归的人们,但前提是这些人必须躲到避难所里,树林里,桥底以及废弃的房屋和公寓里。而加州的独特之处则在于他们允许无家可归者露宿街头。大多数加州的无家可归者刚来加州时就已经身处无家可归的状态了。他们之所以选择逃离是因为家乡警察的骚扰以及那些地方缺少任何相关的服务。

Dan The Man
I don't agree, 90% of homeless are drug addicts and it's pointless to be under the illusion that a shelter is gonna solve the real problem which IS drug addiction.

我并不赞同视频的观点,90%的无家可归者都是瘾君子,指望庇护所能解决问题不过是一种幻想罢了,因为毒瘾才是真正的问题。

Angkor Trucker’s Gourmet foodstuffs
Not only does the government from their states doesn’t want to help their homeless people but they’re willing to pay their homeless by paying for their flights and bus fares to California and everyone from other states trash talking about California especially Texans. How do I know this? Because I’m a long haul trucker I've seen it all too often at truck stops and rest areas around the country.

其他州的人们不仅不愿意帮助这些无家可归的人们,甚至还出钱买车票或者飞机票将他们送去加州。而且他们还特喜欢说加州的坏话,尤其是德克萨斯人。我怎么知道的?因为我是一名长途卡车司机,所以我在全国各地的卡车停靠站和休息区目睹了太多这样的情况。

The wether makes it possible to live on the streets

加州的气候让露宿街头成为可能。

Halfmoon Raven
Much of the homeless men are the result of "No Fault Divorce" Men can not afford the high rent costs and child support as well.

很多无家可归的男人都是拜“无过错离婚”所赐才沦落至此。男人们无法同时负担高昂的房租和孩子的抚养费。

World most powerful in military, education, finance system nation cannot handle own internal issues but waring around the globe.

这个在军事,教育和金融领域都堪称世界最强的国家居然无法处理好自己的内部事务,然而他们却依旧在全球范围内发动战争。

No one can afford rent food health care unless your illegal then you get free rent health care free food

没有人能够负担得起房租以及医疗保健。除非你是个非法移民,这样一来你就能享受到免费的住房,医保和食物了。

Walker Peterson
All that money they spent was for what,cause homeless people in California aren't seeing any of it

加州政府这些钱都花到哪里去了...因为这些无家可归的人可是一毛钱都没见到。

Colin Cooper
Why? They get 3 free meals a day, drugs are plentiful and cheap, the police don't bother them, and under CA law, they can't be convicted of theft as long as they don't steal more than $900 at any one time.

为什么加州会有那么多无家可归者?因为他们可以在那里每天吃到3顿免费的食物,而且加州的毒品供应充足,价格又实惠。警察们也不会去打扰他们,据加州法律规定,只要他们一次偷窃不超过900美元就不会被判行窃罪。
