Bakersfield politicians respond to Gov. Newsom’s threats to cut homeless...

There was a time, in the early 1900's until 1940's when almost every city had 'poor' houses, many of the buildings are still there. Once someone was in them, anyone could hire people out of them if they could provide clothing and food for the day, people had to go work. They were not the best places to go..... there were also orphanages that many poor people put their kids..... There were also sanatoriums for those with TB until antibiotics and more information was shared about how to stop it.... the early 1950's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0McI2YGBQw
