Californians were asked the questionThe question of whether the legalisation of gambling would help curb California’s homeless problem being asked now could be regarded as locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. It was Proposition 27 that promised to funnel tax revenues to help the homeless, mentally ill, and poorer first nation tribes. There can be denying that California has a huge homeless problem. There can be no denying that the gambling allowed is popular, and there is no reason why the revenues raised could not be used to help solve the homelessness problem across the state. Unsurprisingly, liberals and conservatives have very different views on how to solve the homeless problem.
