A new study is busting myths about homelessness in California.

Contrary to suspicions that the state’s homeless generally are young and from out of state, the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative research group out of the University of California, San Francisco, finds that nearly half of all unhoused adults in the state are over the age of 50, and 90% lost their housing within the state.

The study (pdf), produced at the request of California governor Gavin Newsom’s administration but not funded by the state, surveyed nearly 3,200 unhoused people, 75% of whom were in the same county where they lost their housing.

More than 171,000 people are experiencing homelessness in the state, making up 30% of the entire homeless population in the US, according to the study and separate research from the Public Policy Institute of California.

Expect more of this. Here's how it happens. The last generation of coddled children are living with their parents. They usually can't keep a job and are addicted to something. The parents die, the irresponsible children lose the house, and they end up on the streets.

It will be even worse with the next generation. So many kids permanently dependent upon their parents.
