    He said, "Why? Because they make it so easy."
    He then rattled off about 5 programs that was giving him $$
    and food so by the time he got his food stamps he didn't need them so he
    sells 'em for about 30c/on the dollar and used that with some of the others for drug money.
    He then went on about the people who were really killing it with
    SS disability. They're the "rich" people on the street.

    What do you think will happen when these people find out another 300 a week is theirs for the asking?

    Our local news last night was bragging about a 13 unit apartment the city is buying for a homeless housing
    project. They're assuming up to 26 people will get off the streets if each unit gets 2 people.
    It's 2 blocks from the beach in Ocean Beach so this is some primo real estate. A couple units have ocean view.
    The place has been vacant for a year, owned by homeless "outreach" NGO who bought it (with gov't money)
    from another homeless charity group that lost it's funding because of crime by the tenants.
    The former manager of the project is homeless sleeping under the stairs. She's hoping she'll get a unit.
    They're paying 1M$ each. The "locals" are supposedly supporting it cuz if they put it on the market
    a condo timeshare company would buy it and tear it down and build a 10 story high rise that would block someone's view.
    The insanity is the price it keeps selling for nearly doubles every time and it keep changing hands between these
    corporate homeless support companies with 6 figure salaried execs and hasn't housed anyone for a couple years.
    So the city is going to buy it back again and contract out operation for permanent and subsidized rent.
    And they all stand around cheering themselves for what a wonderful thing they've done.
    13M$ to get 26 people housing. That's crazier than the thousands/month LA is paying these

    grifter companies for tents in LA.

    The neighborhood supports it, there's a need, and it precludes an empty pied-a-terre tower replacing it and blocking views.

    There's not enough housing, which drives up prices. If the property were condemned and sold below market price, you'd complain about that, too.
    The funding is designated for the purpose but unless there's a proposal
    for better bang-for-the-buck solutions, expensive is how it's going to be.

    Bring back the flophouses, says this guy (2013):

    https://slate.com/business/2013/07/sros-flophouses-microapartments-smart-cities-are-finally-allowing-the-right-kind-of-housing-for-the-poor-young-and-single.html

    Locally, we have a tiny house development, converted motels and hotels
    and new renovations for old subsidized housing. Still not enough.

    preclude your scenario of a recent immigrant getting immediate aid.

    And you know it or you wouldn't have clipped the "93 hrs/3 mos" part.

    Hey, what do I know....you know dems far better than I.

    I read the bill itself. Beats worrying about what California Democrats
    think.

    They "estimate" because the only way this happened is for
    "undocumented" workers who were getting a W-2 and had unemployment
    insurance deducted from their pay. So they earned it.

    What has a recent migrant earned?
    A recent migrant won't qualify under the bill. It could be you've
    mistaken "claim to have no work" for "can't prove they've worked."

    That's all BS. California has been doling out UNemployment to everyone who has
    earned it with a job. Your take is the bill changes nothing and it's all a BS show.
    No, that's not it. My "take" is the bill has requirements that would preclude your scenario of a recent immigrant getting immediate aid.

    and so you confirm my take on your take. It changes nothing.

    And you know it or you wouldn't have clipped the "93 hrs/3 mos" part.

    I've seen your reading skills in action. They lack credibility.

    "Existing law prohibits payment of unemployment compensation benefits
    for services performed by a person who is not a citizen or national of
    the United States, unless that person is an individual who was lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time the services were
    performed, was lawfully present for purposes of performing the services,
    or was permanently residing in the United States under color of law at
    the time the services were performed, as specified.

    This bill would establish, until January 1, 2027, the Excluded Workers Program, to be administered by the Employment Development Department
    upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purpose of providing
    income assistance to excluded workers who are ineligible for the
    existing state or federal benefits administered by the department and
    who are unemployed."

    It makes eligible the previously ineligible.

    i.e., illegals.

    So is living on $300/wk.

    Now you're quibbling about the requirement you said wasn't there,
    following on your mistaken belief that the undocumented were eligible
    for unemployment assistance.
