California’s latest “solution” to its self-made housing disaster? Let college students live in their cars. Democrats in Sacramento have surrendered to their own failures, offering parking spots as substitutes for real homes. This is what happens when decades of reckless spending, overregulation, and anti-growth policies crush everyday Americans.
Homeless students now outnumber lecture halls as California’s cost-of-living crisis spirals. One in four community college kids sleeps in vehicles or on couches. Instead of slashing red tape to build affordable housing, Democrats want to stick security guards near campus parking lots and call it progress. Priorities? They’ve got none.
Progressive Assemblyman Corey Jackson claims this parking scheme is “practical relief.” Practical? For whom? Taxpayers will foot the bill for 24/7 security, bathrooms, and lighting in these glorified homeless camps. This isn’t compassion—it’s a permanent Band-Aid on a bullet wound. California leadership would rather fund vanity projects than fix real problems.
Rent here is 50% higher than the national average. High taxes chase businesses away, killing jobs. Environmental rules block new construction. Yet Democrats keep pushing the same socialist pipe dreams. Students shouldn’t need survival skills to get an education. This is the Golden State’s shame—a direct result of one-party rule.
Conservatives know real answers: cut taxes, unleash builders, and let free markets thrive. But no. Sacramento’s elites would rather turn colleges into trailer parks than admit their policies failed. It’s a slap in the face to hardworking families scraping by while politicians waste their cash.
The bill’s supporters call it a “temporary” fix. We’ve heard that lie before. California’s “temporary” COVID rules never ended. Once these parking lots open, they’ll become Democrat monuments to dysfunction. Why solve homelessness when you can warehouse it?
This isn’t compassion. It’s defeat. Parents sacrifice to send kids to college, only to find them huddled in Hondas. Meanwhile, Sacramento blows billions on high-speed trains to nowhere and giveaways for illegal immigrants. Priorities matter. California’s leaders have none.
True patriots demand better. Tear down the red tape. Let builders build. Stop taxing families into poverty. Conservative policies lift people up—not trap them in cars. But until voters dump failed leaders, students will keep studying by flashlight, wondering where America went wrong.
