Sigh. bangs head This is NOT what it's about, people. Tons of homeless people like being homeless. They are either insane, drug addicted, or have extreme views on personal freedom that the rest of us don't share.

If they're insane we can't coop them up. The ACLU sued to get all the asylums closed down (and then blamed Reagan). If they're drug addicted ditto, all they want to do with their lives is do more drugs. And there are people who reject our lifestyle with houses and cars and vacations, and just want to live a life free of entanglements of any kind.

Build all the houses you like, none of it will solve this. Making it illegal prevents the homeless - who pay no taxes and are net takers from society - from bothering the rest of us.

Well that's true for some homeless. And I agree, let them do as they wish.

However there is a growing segment of the population that is homeless and does not want to be. Those are the people who could use the help, and I'd rather spend it on that than a wall (that doesn't even do anything), tbh

Funny, a wall works for Israel just fine.

The USA spends billions defending the borders of other nations but cannot defend its own.

I haven't ever met a homeless person that likes being homeless. It's never that simple anyway. Some prefer camping to shelters. But there's a nearly universal desire for housing, heat, water, etc.

The problem isn't housing, but affordable housing. Unfortunately much of the debt is backed by real estate markets, which have created a real estate bubble. Housing is ridiculously overpriced... It'll pop eventually.

yes you have, same reason why when you offer to give them food they say no, they just want money. they want it for drugs/alcohol. if they wanted a place to live they'd get off the streets and go to one of many shelters and apply for govt assistance but that is not what they want.

Lol. Maybe you're dealing with someone not really homeless.

I've seen plenty of pan handlers that aren't homeless. They're sometimes trying to get bills paid. Rent, phone, smokes, etc.

It's not all just drugs.

They're just trying to bankrupt the West

Yeah, I'm sure he will rob the middle class to pay off his cronies who start "programs" to end homelessness. Programs that won't ever work, but they'll blame some other group anyway.

Here's a plan to end homelessness! Sober the fuck up and get a job. Sure changed my life when I stopped slamming five points of #4 into my arms every day, and decided to work instead of doing jack shit all day. Weird.

Insist that you are better than others is 💯 you are truly better then everybody else. Therefore in that twisted mind they simply don't matter. Just like Hitler please be less shallow it's not at all human to be this way. a Junkie would know this an do better mutt

:) you fucking cowardly little pussy. I'm better than you, that's for sure. But that's an easy win, so I shouldn't brag too much about that. If you want to make excuses for lazy fucking retards, go ahead. Just makes you a cowardly, pussy, lazy, naive retard. And an outright thief. You think you are morally superior because you and a bunch of other thieves believe that it's fair to steal from certain people to give out however you see fit? No, you're the villain, not the hero. Add that to my aforementioned list of adjectives describing you. Faggot.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

economy is actually doing pretty great, people are only homeless if due to laziness or on drugs, you at least gotta go work at mcdonalds and get food stamps, no excuses, go to college at night. not a crime? they actually want to go to jail cuz you get fed and a place to live there

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Define economy. Pretty good for who? 80 million people making less than 15 an hour. My economy is you and me spending money. Drugs suck Medicare for all covers this off hand remark. Expanding social services corrects what jail does now. One point, follow along with me those 80+ million people get a five dollar an hour raise. My math $5.00 × 80 million that's 400 million an hour of spending every hour of every day. Now thats an economy the poorest nation in the world can never match. Thousands home less today because Cali is burning. Drug addicts? Got ya. Boot straps and all? It's really fixed our country. You can't prove me wrong unless you fix the problem by locking up all the homeless? You have no solution just fear, America deserves so much better. Homeless deserve a home help us build that. Got knows we need the jobs. Unless you think we have a great economy for everybody still? And don't get me started about payroll taxes and local economy's that money will be spent right at home. Fear is not good look for a full grown man. Mr trump

if ya make less than 15 an hour you're lazy. shoulda tried harder in school. I make 200k a year, I just bought another house and it was tough because as soon as a house goes on sale someone buys it, lot of people have good jobs and money. Too many lazy people, their lives should be made harder to give them incentive to work harder. You get welfare that pays for everything and too many people are being let out of jail and not made to pay bail now cuz of sjw reasons. Don't wanna lock em up? Ok but they can't hang out on the streets and panhandle, they gotta go somewhere else. I don't want to see it. It lowers home values. One good thing about gentrification is it keeps out the riff raff, the bad part being prices go up, this wouldn't be necessary if we just kicked the riff raff out in the first place. No more immigrants too btw. The less workers = the higher the wages. We're full, no more immigrants for like a period of 30 years would be good. Trump sucks because he did nothting to build the wall from 2017-2019 and that is why repubs got kicked out of the house.

What kinda tool do I know you are.? 200 k is that what you told you lender? That's chump change. Small fries stuff keep thinking your special. Still not even close to rich and just fucked enough to think like others don't matter to the rest of us. No my man you are a cogg that is all. One paycheck away from bankruptcy you can speak to me when your rich not before. Mutt
