[nightmarefish]

Oh is that your very liberal bud texting? Ask him how they treat the homeless
too good? Why, because they aren't shot? Is homelessness a crime?

And the Reagan administration directly impacted the homeless situation, not probably.
That was followed by deregulated mortgage industry/ home foreclosures, a steadly increase
in the wealth gap and poor social networks for even your veterans.

Homelessness is growing, you're just finding the numbers to be unsettling

America is supposed to be the richest country in history yet
there is not enough money except when it comes to bailing
out banks and investment firms

damn it's gotta be the liberals

There are only 4 countries that have larger economies than California yet homelessness is on the rise and the state is in huge debt. You honestly don’t think things can be run better? If it isn’t the state’s leadership then who do you think is to blame? California law makers have driven 1000s of companies out of California with their policies and hiking taxes. What do you think the result of that is?

Yes that’s my buddy, huge liberal. When Hillary lost his wife cried.

Homelessness is an "us"problem. It's like a natural disaster.
Do you ask someone drowning who they voted for?
California naturally draws people of all kinds and I'm sure if you have to live in a tent
year round you would prefer a warmer climate.

The companies that have fled California have taken advantage of the Non-United States.
Your States Rights bulllshit means corporations have leverage over law makers. They are tax evaders using a divided system. Corporations haven't just fled California but the country when it suits them best.

Homelessness is a national issue. Defense is a national issue. Poverty is a national issue.

[Zap_the_Fractions_Giraffe]

Homelessness is terrible, but what can you expect the government to do about it? 99 percent of bums are junkies, drunks and psychos. I've been "homeless" a few times because of self destructive behavior. It's a complicated thing, republitards are like, "just get a job/pull yourself up by bootstraps/sink or swim" but nobody is gonna employ drunks/junkies/psychos, and even if they WOULD employ them, the junkies/drunks/psychos couldn't actually DO a job. People already bitch about all the drug addicts imprisoned in the USA, but besides putting undesirables into gas chambers the only real way our government can address the issue is putting them in prison. And if you suggest some kind of nationalized, free drug treatment centers or inpatient mental hospitals... guess what, they are gonna be shitholes like prisons or the insane asylums of the past, because they will be full of crazy bums. Sad truth is that we kinda live in a hellhole, not just the USA but the whole planet. Life is kinda shitty and some people have it really bad, either because they are born crazy, driven crazy, fell victim to drug abuse or whatever.

Lmfao, so what issues are local government issues? Not taking care of it’s citizens? Not balancing its budget? Look how far you go to avoid blaming a liberal. Portland and Seattle are having huge increases in the homeless population and it isn’t because the weather is nice. You really can’t see that we are putting less people in jail equals larger homeless population? BTW I also believe putting less people in jail is a good thing but there needs to be a plan of how to help them.

Remember when The republicans tried to get rid of Obama care and John McCain voted against? He didn’t vote against because he liked Obama care, he voted against because the Republicans hadn’t come up with a better alternative. Same holds true with not putting people in prison for low level crimes and drug related issues. There needs to be a plan not just letting them roam the streets.

You said previously that being homeless isn’t a crime. While that is true you would have to be an idiot to not realize that increasing homeless populations will in turn increase crime rates. Also human feces and rats all over the place isn’t a good look and that’s a good way to spread diseases. What about the small business owners that pay taxes that have businesses suffering because there are homeless tents all along the front of their building? Do we care about helping them?

LA is thinking about building brand new free housing for them (I think they currently have like 60k homeless)which on the surface seems good. Others would say this will just enable them and invite more. Tough issue no doubt.

You talk from both sides of your mouth in back to back sentences.
Can't jail someone for being homeless but why should I pay for some ner-do-well? Lock em up or
get rid of them somehow.

Jail is reserved for those who have committed a crime. Homelessness does not equal being a
criminal as much as you would like it to be so.

You idiot, you've been saying local politicians aren't doing enough, even though it's a national crisis, then you say LA is building a housing project. Which is it?

And to say a housing project enables someone to become or stay homeless is completely ignorant. Just think of the fun we could have in a homeless shelter.

Here are your options.

Throw them all in jail, despite being overcrowded and a human rights violation.

Let them be and ignore them.

Put a few of your tax dollars towards shelters and social programs which is a start
at alleviating the problem

Even convicted criminals are given a chance at rehabilitation, at least in a sane society

In San Francisco, a one bedroom apartment starts at $4,000 a month?

They are homeless because they lost their job.

Their friends and family completely abandoned them.

Some turned to crime to get drugs.

Some of women became prostitutes and drug addicts.

Government really doesn't give a shit about the homeless.

Money and resources that is suppose to go help them is often stolen and pocketed by public and government officials.

There is a city in California that should be given to the homeless.

It is called Oakland, California.

[Salty_Aus]

I'm not saying this is a solution or anything, but does put things into perspective that simple folks like myself can understand.

You guys spent 600 billion plus in 2018 on defense.

If you spent say 100k to build a homeless person a place to live you could build 6,000,000 new homes for them.
I know the figures don't corelate exactly as I'm no doubt ignoring many flow on effects.

That's just one years spending.

Feels like you have your priorities wrong IMHO.

It's not that simple. It's not just about them having a roof over their heads.

It's about the underlying cause of homelessness, how they got there in the first place, and whether benefits provided to the homeless possibly screw hardworking lower-class people who are paying for their housing.

Many of the homeless would still have their same problems if they had government-provided housing.

This is a complex matter which does need to be explored, but honestly it needs to occur more at a state and local level than at a federal level.

I will say that there are a dearth of proper services available to those with mental illness, and this is a matter which needs addressing. For whatever reason, neither party has properly addressed it.

A roof over their heads is a start. The causes of homelessness can be debated but what clouds
the issue seems to be a lack of compassion. Yes a certain per cent of the population will always be a challenge but when they litter your highways and threaten every day life then it needs to be addressed.

As S. Aus said you are richer than any country ever. Yet you stand by and watch as many
in your group suffer. Spend a few sheckels to at least rid you of some guilt


"It's about the underlying cause of homelessness, how they got there in the first place, and whether benefits provided to the homeless possibly screw hardworking lower-class people who are paying for their housing."

This is backward selfish thinking. To imagine that a homeless person, living in a tent at best, without a family, is trying to screw the hardworking lower-class in asinine.

Consider that a fair number of these tent people actually have families
and sometimes have jobs but still cannot afford decent housing.
You've got your next generation of homeless and by god if I
were one of them I would come looking for my share...

That's right whitey I wouldn't give a fuck. So you pay one way or the other....take your pick

Do you understand what is at the root of crime?
It's desperation
You're thinking does not matter. If you have
it and I don't, I know a way to change that.
Are you comfortable with that ideal?

[Salty_Aus]

Perhaps I'm a nutter, but I genuinely believe spending 600 billion a year on defense is contributing to mental health and homelessness way more then some realize.

Firstly it sets a terrible example of what's right and wrong. The entire philosophy is corrupt and creates numerous underying issues.
The amount of service men and women with mental issues is staggering. Just look at the suicide rates of returned veterans.
Instead of concentrating on treating mental illness, perhaps it would be more prudent to address the cause of such issues. I believe mental illness is like an infection, it's self perpetuating and creates even more illness.

I feel homelessness is a symptom of a fundementally corrupt and broken society.

OK, perhaps I am a nutter...typical libtard.

Homeless people in SF aren't homeless bc they were living in SF and then it got too expensive. It's just a good place for homeless people from all over the place to come and live. You could make it less desirable for homeless people, but that wouldn't stop them from being homeless.

I'm not disagreeing with you here, just pointing out that all the SF bums aren't people that used to be able to afford to live in SF and then all of the sudden couldn't and didn't bother trying to figure out how to live somewhere else.

Lmfao, settle down homegirl. Your crazy alt left ass just pulled the race card out of no where, shocking since that never happens. You did forget nazi though.

The only thing you have brought up in this thread is something RR did 35 years ago. It couldn’t possibly be liberal political leadership that results in this recent homeless boom, it had to be a republican president 35 years ago. Ya ya that’s it. You sound crazy. No better than the die hard Trump supporters who can’t admit that he lies all day long everyday. You alt left and alt right crazy fucks are exactly the same and hate each other, it’s hilarious. Now put down the bottle and sleep it off. If I don’t respond to you instantly maybe it’s because I’m not of this site 24 hours a day.
