Democrats are hysterical about Utah’s new strategy for tackling the growing homeless problem outside of Salt Lake City. However, the Republican-backed plan is the only solution that makes sense.

It’s insane to think about the amount of money Democrats have allocated to homelessness in their cities. In just five years, between 2018 and 2023, California spent a total of $24 billion on homelessness programs. New York City (NYC) paid $3.96 billion in the fiscal year 2025. Portland, Oregon, spent $724 million on homeless services in fiscal year 2024. Washington State has $1.8 billion budget for homeless programs between 2025 and 2027, with $139 million allocated for Seattle alone.

Despite all of this money, Democrats have not made a single dent in the homeless crisis in these areas; in fact, it’s only gotten worse. Still, they are attacking Republicans in Utah and President Donald Trump for bringing sanity back to the conversation with a completely different strategy to get this crisis under control.

In Portland, Ore., a local business owner is speaking to the media about how his employees aren’t able to use the city parking spots that he pays for because of homeless encampments on the street.

One of the people in the camp........
