Better a Californian should get rights to the San Diego Sports Arena than billionaire Coloradan Philip Anschutz who is such good friends with Trump's Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch that they are neighbors on some exclusive fancy fly-fishing river out there.

This story is an eye opener about homelessness.

The notion that any group or number of groups can "end homelessness" is absurd. Most of the homeless are druggies. Those that are mentally ill are so because of drugs.
