care of a whole slew of the population, REGARDLESS of status... house, no house, money or not.

The last time we had a large disaster in San Diego... yes the City Plan actually took care of all, regardless again of house, no house, or whatever... in fact, that was one of the complaints from some of our middle class families at the Stadium, that they had to share the space with them icky illegals and homeless... so be it...

But if I have a community that is CUT OFF and it will take me 24-72 hours to reach the location, it is a fact of life that I am not reaching you, or those with a house or not a house... that is a fact... so my only hope is that the COMMUNITY pools down resources and helps each other and does self rescue. This is not going to change if I cannot logistically reach the ciudad perdida due to the floods, or La Jolla California...

Now that is where human nature comes in, read the stadium situation. All the city could do was bring a few cops to protect the at risk population from any violence from our very angry... MY GOD we have to acknowledge their existence, middle class people. That speaks more about the US as a society, than anything else.
