正文翻譯

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?

據(jù)美國住房部的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，加州無家可歸者的數(shù)量在過去5年里增加了40%，加州的人口僅占美國總?cè)丝诘?2%，但它卻是美國一半沒家可歸者的聚集地。據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)，光是在洛杉磯縣就有66000名無家可歸者。有人可能會認(rèn)為這個問題之所以沒有得到妥善解決是因?yàn)榧又菡狈ο嚓P(guān)資源。然而事實(shí)上加州近年來批準(zhǔn)了各種各樣針對這個問題的稅收減免機(jī)制并建立了大量致力于解決該問題的相關(guān)機(jī)構(gòu)。在2021年的州財政預(yù)算中，政府承諾將花費(fèi)120億美元以期在未來兩年內(nèi)解決這個問題。如果你想更加直觀地了解這個數(shù)字的話，只需要將這個數(shù)字除以全加州無家可歸者的數(shù)量（16萬），得出的結(jié)論就是每個人可以分到7.5萬美元。那么問題來了：為什么加州多年來花了如此多的錢卻依舊沒能解決這個問題？為什么自由市場無法為這一問題提供解決方案？而且，2022年初生效的法律是否又能成為我們解決危機(jī)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

我們鳳凰城也有很多無家可歸之人，這里實(shí)在太熱了，而且房租的價格也在飛漲。

Jessica McNally
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!

佛羅里達(dá)的情況也一樣，我們這沒有那么熱（不過我們這濕度更高，而且還有鱷魚）然而生活成本正在飛速上升，人們漸漸被擠出了這座城市。很多在佛羅里達(dá)州從事專業(yè)工作的人所拿到的工資依舊不夠讓他們在自己所工作的社區(qū)租到房子，這實(shí)在太瘋狂了。

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

這個問題已經(jīng)無處不在了，如今的住房成本和能源成本實(shí)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，并沒有無處不在哦。只有少數(shù)幾座城市的街道會邋遢到那種地步。那些游蕩在街頭上的人們可不僅僅是無家可歸者，他們更像是流浪漢才對。我們永遠(yuǎn)不會讓自己的社區(qū)看起來如此下作。你們實(shí)在太丟人了。

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.

你們猜怎么著？我每天都會在舊金山街頭和那些無家可歸的人們聊天，大多數(shù)人都跟我說他們甚至并不來自加州。很多人告訴我，他們是在州外被人與送上灰狗巴士運(yùn)過來的。不像其他城市，我們可不會像運(yùn)輸垃圾一般把人趕走。是的，加州確實(shí)有很多無家可歸的人，但是你們先看看自己州什么德行吧，看看他們究竟是如何處理這個問題的。

It’s California’s version of affordable housing.

這就是加州版的經(jīng)濟(jì)適用房。

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.

這個問題和高昂的住房成本無關(guān)。舉個例子吧，奧斯丁，洛杉磯，鳳凰城等城市有大量的移民，他們剛剛踏足美國時幾乎一無所有。其中有很多非法進(jìn)入美國的西班牙裔以及一些亞裔。
他們?yōu)榱四軌蜻M(jìn)入美國西南部欠下了一屁股債。然而這幫人僅占據(jù)了無家可歸者數(shù)量的極小一部分。事實(shí)上，他們甚至能最終賺到一大筆錢，并吸引更多人非法移民進(jìn)入美國賺錢。因此問題的重點(diǎn)就是，美國之所以有如此多無家可歸者實(shí)際上是因?yàn)槎酒?。我們可以在網(wǎng)上看到很多的相關(guān)采訪，比如油管頻道“街頭的故事”。無論如何，我依舊非常同情那些因?yàn)槲境砂a而失去家庭支持并最終淪落至街頭的人們。我為他們祈禱。

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

他們中大多數(shù)都是來自其他州，那些地方的氣候?qū)o家可歸者而言實(shí)在太殘酷了。

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

我一年能掙73000美元，但是還是沒法自己一個人租一套公寓，還是得找室友合租。

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

很多無家可歸者其實(shí)并不來自加州。因?yàn)榧又莶幌衿渌莼蛘叱鞘心菢尤ヲ}擾他們，所以這些人都聚集到了加州。此外，與很多紅州相比，無家可歸者能在加州收獲更多的福利。

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

問題的關(guān)鍵在于我們高估了人類生命的價值。最簡單的解決辦法就是將這幫人聚集在一起，將他們關(guān)進(jìn)一個與世隔絕的小鎮(zhèn)或者監(jiān)獄里。在那里，他們可以自由自在地做他們想要做的事情，而我們其他人也能免受他們的驚嚇。

It has become a lifestyle

無家可歸已經(jīng)成為一種生活風(fēng)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.

我們必須像一家企業(yè)般思考才能真正理解這個問題。人就像是一件產(chǎn)品，很多產(chǎn)品在很多領(lǐng)域里都是不被需要的，所以你需要做的就是將這些產(chǎn)品儲存到某個地方，直到他們?nèi)ナ罏橹梗椅覀冞€必須將儲存成本降到最低。把優(yōu)秀的產(chǎn)品運(yùn)出加州，再把那些不被需要的產(chǎn)品運(yùn)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.

Often families send their teenagers addicted to fentanyl to Cali.

而且很多家庭也會把自己那些***上癮的孩子送去加州。

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........

加州的物價實(shí)在太高了，如果你不付房租的話，你就能用更多的錢購買毒品了。我也曾無家可歸過，所以我不是在胡言亂語。大多數(shù)美國人都是月光族。如果他們失去工作的話就會無家可歸，如果他們生病了沒法工作也會無家可歸。把工資花在嗑藥和酗酒上~~無家可歸！如你們所見，這個問題十分嚴(yán)重。從小學(xué)起就教導(dǎo)學(xué)生理財會是一個很好的開始....

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