A mummified body found inside a parked car in Costa Mesa has been identified as a homeless woman from Fountain Valley, but authorities said they would not release her name until her relatives have been notified.

The decomposing body had been inside the car for up to 10 months, authorities said.

Police said they have not decided whether to seek criminal charges against a former real estate broker who apparently let the homeless woman sleep in her 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis and then failed to contact authorities after the woman died.

The former broker told authorities that the last time she saw the homeless woman alive was December, police said.

6. As the story said, it was a woman who owned the car and drove it with the body in it.

Which does seem to beg some sort of further questioning about the car owner, I should think.

2. 1 billion/yr would end this abomination

Many billionaires out there

7. The corpse was under jackets & coats with a box of baking soda to reduce odor.....

Holy Cannoli!

8. Sounds as though the driver may have mental health issues

Doesn't sound like she killed the woman for insurance or any other reason. She may be living in the car as well.

9. END hmlssnss Here is how----

Gates has 50 Billion

At 10% total market return, he gets
Five billion income/yr.

So just 20% of the income of ONE billionaire would

end ALL homelessness forever.

---------------------
Based on "hmslss die at three times normal rate" and excluding the sizeable percent of those entering hmlsnss who were weak at entry.....and based on one million hmlss on any one night....

Then one finds that about

10 000/ month die from the effects of hmlssnss. Ten thousand.

The heat, cold, rat bites, crime, stress, disease, lack of sleep,
feces-urine-plus-flies in the area,
no safe way to store any medicine once they fall ill, no way to refrigerate meds that need it, etc.
------------

RR's cut of 2/3's of housing rent aid in the early '80's caused the beginning of the first mass hmlssnss since the Great Depression.

Blame shifters try to blame other things, but bottom line is...no matter how messed up a person is...from other things....., rent aid will give 99% of them shelter.
