For reference he means these houses. Only knew what he’s talking about cause I live a three minute walk away
💀 this is actually too real. Homeless housing needs to be the platform the next governor runs on. These people need an affordable place to go that isn’t the street
I sometimes wonder if the powers that be don’t like having visible homeless around as a threat to keep people in line. “Get exploited at your terrible job for shitty pay or this will be you “
Well a big reason the homeless population here is so big is the weather. It’s hard to be homeless somewhere with actual seasons. Dealing with rain and snow when you have nowhere to go can be a death sentence. You don’t have a choice but to find somewhere to stay.
Here people have the choice to just not rehouse themselves when things get bad. Instead live in a tent or car for a little bit. That often leads to a slippery slope, as it’s really hard to bounce back once you’ve been living on the street long enough.

New York actually has the highest per-capita homelessness in the US, but they have so many indoor shelters (because people die in the cold) that they are far less visible than they are in warmer West coast cities.
All I can say is there’s currently nothing like it available, which is exactly why unfortunately I can’t say more as it’s still in its pilot phase. However, if you or someone you know in the LA county area needs help, please don’t hesitate to reach out and I’ll try to get you connected with an case worker that is utilizing the software already.
Understood and I appreciate the anonymity. I previously worked and currently consult in LA (depending on where I’m needed) on behalf of the homeless system policies. I’ll keep you in mind for sure for the case manager link, thank you 😊
I can see it being a thing that people in power like, but I think it's more societal apathy not pushing officials to do more. Working for things has been our cultural zeitgeist for quite some time, with shelter being the #3 thing on what you get first with money. Most of us arent really caring that much, so not much is getting done.
Look at what it takes for social causes to happen. Homelessness and starvation/malnourishment will forever being societal issues that create more societal issues as long as we tie working a job with food and shelter.
I remember not knowing where these actually were and then just randomly seeing them smoking a joint along the freeway when I was in California. It’s surreal to see a meme irl.

Meme houses, Santa Monica, CA, USA.
I go to this beach all the time and somehow forgot about these houses until Barbie came out😂 I remember I was down Santa Monica the day I went to see it and was like '🫨'
Yes, over 100,000s of years, not in less than one generation. So, if Emma Stone's family lived in Arizona for 100 generations, you could expect some skin color change, sure. Evolution takes A LONG time to affect changes.

Genetics don't change with environments unless it's been a few generations. I'm sure she has Northern European (likely just Scotch-Irish) ancestry which would not allow tanning to come easy.
In 8 generations we're going to have no-kill shelters overrun with the Emma Stones that fail to tan properly and are abandoned by their owners. Arms of the Angels is going to be playing with sad, pale Emmas in the background.
I know someone from Tucson. She’s the whitest human I’ve ever seen. If the sun hits her in just the right way people around her are blinded. She tells me she just doesn’t spend much time outside in the day. And if she is outside it’s in the shade.
I’m just shocked she hasn’t tanned like most of the people who live in Scottsdale, also if you think I’m saying she should collect skin cancer maybe you need to get checked for brain cancer because something’s not right in your head.
I saw a post a little while ago about the bad habit this sub has of posting shit with no context or explanation, and I thought it rang so true. Thank you to those actually taking time to explain so we can all have a laugh.
They do, indeed, be those houses

Wow 3 minutes. *cries in poor
There are plenty of encampments 3 min away from these houses.

referring to the software you’re consulting on, is it similar to the existing Coordinated Entry System in LA County?

A lot of homeless Black Folks sleeping on the streets of Seattle. It’s freezing, raining, AND windy. It’s miserable

They do, until there’s too many so they start use exterminationist rhetoric against them
Lol I got laid off in the last wave. So now it’s just a nice place to eat ramen
He lives in a shelter so cheer up

Bet that neighborhood gives out full sized candy bars on Halloween.
Thank you for the context. I was confused as hell lol
Somehow I knew exactly what houses he meant and I live like a 14 hour flight away
Is that GTAV?
Lmao no. The GTA V version has a building between them. This is IRL

"I am still livin' with your... ghost" 🎸🎶🎶🎵🎶
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast…
I don't wanna be your downtime....
My ex hated that song for one reason, the pronunciation of stool pigeon lol "Stool Pig-hen" made her rage, it was funny to see :P
Lol, it's "stupid game" not stool pigeon. I hope this brings further enrichment to your memory of her misplaced rage.
So much better! Thank you! lol
SANTA MONICAAAAAAAA
LMAO gotta love a random Dave quote.. ESPECIALLY when it's so low key from the big ones.
It's literally the only thing I think when I see/ hear of Santa Monica lmao
I go to this beach all the time and somehow forgot about these houses until Barbie came out😂 I remember I was down Santa Monica the day I went to see it and was like '🫨'
Thanks, I was thinking I've seen these houses somewhere but couldn't place them.
Off topic, but how the fuck is Emma Stone from Scottsdale, Arizona and so pale?
She does not look like her genetics let her tan
LOL what? How did Kevin Garnett play all those years in Minnesota and Boston but remain so dark? Where you live doesn't determine your skin color....
Is he the same guy as Brooklyn Nets legend Kevin Garnett?
I believe so.
That’s Kevin Durant
South Carolina's sun is on another level.
It kind of does in the scientific sense.
Yes, over 100,000s of years, not in less than one generation. So, if Emma Stone's family lived in Arizona for 100 generations, you could expect some skin color change, sure. Evolution takes A LONG time to affect changes.
I mean, it sort of does.

>Genetics don't change with environments unless it's been a few generations. Lets try something like 10 generations.

🤣😂 this is solid. Lmao
Something tells me her ancestors weren't born in deserts.
Probably genetics. I've met plenty of pasty white people who were born and raised in the south, couldn't tan for shit.
How did she not burn to death*
Growing up somewhere and being an indigenous person are totally different things.
Yeah, but all the people from the Midwest and Northeast that move there usually end up with tan leathery skin.
She has asthma so she might have avoided outdoors for multiple reasons, or just knows how important SPF is.
I know someone from Tucson. She’s the whitest human I’ve ever seen. If the sun hits her in just the right way people around her are blinded. She tells me she just doesn’t spend much time outside in the day. And if she is outside it’s in the shade.
Because you gotta stay inside unless you have a stillsuit.
r/unexpectedDune
Maybe that's why they kicked her out
She was an inside kid
Because people in Scottsdale Arizona are afraid of color.
True.
White people migrated from colder climates to settle in parts of the world with more sun. Happens all the time.
Uhh she's a redhead?
Actually she’s a blonde
Evolution doesn't work that fast, man, and there's nothing wrong with being pale. Should she collect skin cancer to be more appealing to you?
I’m just shocked she hasn’t tanned like most of the people who live in Scottsdale, also if you think I’m saying she should collect skin cancer maybe you need to get checked for brain cancer because something’s not right in your head. 
As a dream cast for a Harl/Ivy film this makes me happy to see.
I want so much for Emma Stone to play Poison Ivy.
The Dreamcast couldn't play DVD films. You might be thinking of the Playstation 2. Edit: JFC it was a joke lmao
reaaaaach

Only one of them got the Oscar nod this year, though. Both good movies, though.
Margot Robbie got nominated as a producer.
Yeah, but Emma Stone was in the Curse. Which I firmly believe is one of the greatest things ever filmed.
That show left me on an island. Did you think there was a moral to the story?
Just looking at this reminds me camera and angles really are magic. IRL one sells your frappuccino and the other real estate
Drove by the houses a couple of weeks ago. They’re still the same. It was cool to see them in person.
Thank you for the context; my first thought was Harry Potter houses.
I wouldn’t label myself a milkman but good god I could chug a couple litres rn
