In the richest nation in the world

[JGalt]

The LA mayor just quadrupled the money they're going to spend on the homeless. But that just encourages more of them to go to LA.

How is this possible? Where is the outrage? Why is there no discussion of solutions?

Leftism has it's rewards. Driving thru LA now is like driving thru a campground.

--------------------------------- aw well , at least its mostly warm with [probably] lots of feeding stations and liquor stores . Course , where are the POOP stations ??

Yes at least it is warm.

I was downtown last night, in subzero Michigan. A homeless man approached me asking for money. I told him he needed to get indoors. He said he planned to, but needed $2 to buy food at the shelter. I gave him a few bucks.

I wondered later if it is true the homeless shelter requires payment for food. How the fuck does a homeless person come up with money for food everyday? Does he have to go begging on the streets everyday?

And the cost of a rental 500 sq ft apartment is $2,000 a month and there are few jobs in LA.

Agreed. There has to be a better way.

It is truly amazing the amount of vacant buildings in this nation. Many of them well built and perfect for housing lots of people.

Never give them cash. Eight more people giving him $2 and he would have enough for a rock of crack cocaine or a bag of heroin. If you need to give them anything, give them a convenience store gift card. Of course, they can still get beer or wine with those.

 

[Flash]

Most homeless people are that way because of bad life choices. Many because they chose to be that way rather than take responsibility for their own well being.

Anyway, it is not my responsibility to give a damn about them. Under Trump unemployment is low and the economy is greatly improving. If they don't chose to work then fuck 'em.

Food should be free, for people in such situations.

I give them cash every time. They are people, not animals in the wild.

Public housing is not the answer.
Illegal drugs are the problem that caused this, the solution is getting those people off the drugs and teach them to become productive again.

I am a certified member of the tough love solution. You want help getting your life in order? Yes? then do these things. You don't? You are not getting a thing.

Cash which is then spent on drugs and booze.

---------------------------------------------------- probably PRIVATE Property though and if homeless were to live free the they'd [some] would just destroy everything and the buildings would become whorehouses where all the fixtures have been removed and sold .

To state the obvious, homelessness is a complex and intractable problem. It is caused largely by mental illness and substance abuse, but also by laziness and poor life decisions, and simple bad luck. Many good people end up out on the streets for reasons that are not their fault, not the least of which is a shortage of "affordable" housing - quite severe in some locales.

It is easy to say, "somebody" ought to do "something," or that "we spend a ton on money on [whatever], but can't provide housing for those who need it."

But "we" do not live in a socialist utopia. No government has formally assumed the responsibility to provide housing for those who need it, and certainly the U.S. Federal Government is prohibited from doing so, under the Constitution. Furthermore, we live in a society where masses of people do the least possible amount of work, hoping to exploit The System at every turn, and as quickly as some government or other entity would assume the obligation of universal housing, the need for it would explode.

What is the solution? Be specific. If you know the solution, let other people know, because it sure as hell isn't obvious.

The solution is actually quite simple.

Get rid of the bureaucracy and get rid of government. The more powerful and centralized our government becomes, the more fascistic and the more DC plays to the interests of powerful corporations and monied interests, the more those who have no voice will suffer.

A rough estimate of our homeless show that over 600K homeless people in the US are Vets.
Not all of them are crackheads and schizos. For a lot of them, WE caused their illness..

How exactly did "WE" cause their situation?

You are probably right, but I do not want it on my conscience. As a Christian, I believe in helping my fellow man.
